Final Lord

Chapter 203 Strange Flesh and Blood

The battle continued, and the fused entity strode heavily toward Wang Bufu's troops.

Its trunk is formed by the gnarled vines of hundreds of fern pith parasites, with dark purple blood vessels writhing on its surface like living creatures, gushing out fluorescent green pus every three seconds. These pus droplets fall to the ground, instantly corroding the permafrost into honeycomb-like holes, and highly toxic vapors carrying the stench of rotting reeds rise up.

Its head was a fluorescent spore cyst two meters in diameter, its surface densely covered with the split lenses of the Swamp-Eyed Clan's eyeballs, each pupil reflecting the battlefield from a different angle. When the spore cyst contracted, thousands of sharp, shrill whispers exploded from within, like the wailing of ten thousand ghosts.

The moment the fusion took a step, a muffled rumble, as if the earth itself were tearing apart, echoed from the depths of the swamp. In the area it trampled, poisonous vines burst forth from the holes, and fluorescent ferns unfurled into blades in the miasma, shredding everything in their path into dust.

Although it has no special skills, its extremely high attributes make every move it makes destructive.

At this moment, the corrupted fusion entity was only 300 meters away from Wang Bufu's army formation. Given a little more time, it would threaten Wang Bufu's troops.

"Evacuate! Shanpao, this place is yours."

"Leave it to me, my lord." Mountain Cannon patted its chest. Facing the upcoming arduous battle, it felt no fear, but rather a sense of excitement.

He plunged into the ground, and his grayish-brown skin suddenly turned bluish-purple with veins, causing the cave dweller's unique rock-sensing organs to tremble violently.

He suddenly plunged his arms into the mud, his spine arching into a strange curve as he burrowed underground, and his chest suddenly swelled up.

"Get the hell out of here!"

With a sound of mud exploding, a poison gas shell burst from the shadow beneath the fusion body.

This cloud of poison precisely enveloped the entire knee joint of the fused entity. The surface of the fused entity was filled with breathing holes, which drew the poisonous miasma into its body, where the toxins circulated rapidly.

The 356 points of physical defense were useless against the poisonous miasma, and the fusion's speed quickly began to decrease.

It stomped hard on the mud, causing the entire mass to sink. But the clever mountain gun knew the importance of firing one shot and moving on, and had already moved away.

Puff puff!
Poisonous miasma bullets hit the fused body precisely, finally reducing its speed to zero after 20 seconds.

The fused body's legs buckled, and its body, which was over ten meters tall, crashed down, making the entire mound of rotten bones tremble.

The fused entity's health points remained almost unchanged, but paralyzed, it would silently await its death under the continued effects of the poisonous miasma. It was no longer relevant to the battle.

"Well done, hillbilly!" Wang Bufu clenched his fist excitedly. "You guys' turn! Blast it through!" Wang Bufu kicked the gear joint of the magic artilleryman, helping to adjust the muzzle direction of the construct cannon. The moment the muzzle was aimed at the Mother Tree of Prosperity, the runic circuit of the muzzle burst out with a blinding blue light!

The five construct cannons overloaded simultaneously, and the runic shells tore through the miasma and fog above the swamp, accurately striking the trunk of the mother tree!
The high humidity of the swamp triggered an electrolytic reaction, and the electric arc shot into the ground along the roots of the mother tree, causing a series of muffled thunderous explosions deep within the mound of decaying bones!
Bang bang bang bang!
Ouch! !

The mournful cry of the Mother Tree of Co-prosperity resounded, and its dark purple bark peeled off layer by layer like charcoal.

Round 1, Round 2, Round 3!
Three rounds of shooting nearly depleted all of the blind cat's mana and the bark of the mother tree, exposing the core once again.

This time, the Mother Tree of Co-prosperity is no longer able to restore its health.

"The core is cracked! Finish it off! Finish it off!" Blind Cat shouted excitedly, waving his staff. He was going to die of exhaustion if he didn't kill the mother tree soon.

boom!
The construct cannon accumulated energy, and the last shell was shoved into the mother tree's throat, followed by a burst of fire and an extremely violent explosion!
The moment the energy core exploded, the entire wetland was filled with decaying spores that floated like fireflies. These spores were ignited by the high temperature in the air and slowly fell into the miasma of the swamp, like tiny shooting stars.

The remains of the mother tree collapsed into charred remains emitting black smoke, but no trophy orbs of light burst forth. Wang Bufu crushed a piece of withered vine with the tip of his boot and said to the blind cat, "Take some men and set fire to this place, burn it clean." The blind cat took the Frostheart and used a fireball to ignite the withered grass as a kindling. The Miasma Clan came over with branches and, together with the cavemen, set fires everywhere with torches.

Wang Bufu ordered his men to cut down all the plants around the Bone Mound to create a firebreak, and then let the fire burn the Bone Mound.

The towering fire burned for a full day and night, almost turning the entire mound of rotten bones into scorched earth.

Only after the flames were completely extinguished did Wang Bufu lead his troops back to the area.

He carefully led his troops to inspect the area, using shovels to turn over the black ash inch by inch to ensure that there were no remains of the corrupted monster's corpse.

As he searched, the shell armored creature ran over excitedly and in a panic: "My lord! We've found something wrong."

"Where is this place? Take me there."

Shell Armor led Wang Bufu to the center of the Bone Mound and pointed to the charred corpse of the Mother Tree of Coexistence, saying, "Lord, this is it. After we dug through the charred remains, we discovered a strange patch of ground that looks like bright red flesh and blood."

We dared not act rashly, so we came to tell you the news as soon as possible.

“Well done.” Wang Bufu nodded and said, “Dig it open and take a look.”

"Yes!"

The shell immediately sprang into action, its six clawed legs churning and quickly digging out a patch of ground that resembled flesh and blood.

Wang Bufu frowned. He didn't know what this thing was either, and the system hadn't given any hints.

Wang Bufu immediately led everyone away, then shouted at the blind cat, "Blind cat, come here, try throwing two fireballs."

"Yes, Lord!" The blind cat threw a fireball at the strange flesh and blood, but the fireball twisted and dissipated the moment it touched the flesh and blood, as if it had been interfered with by something.

"What the hell is that?" Wang Bufu narrowed his eyes. All his fear stemmed from insufficient firepower. Since he couldn't figure out what it was, he might as well just blast it!

He led his troops back another kilometer, summoned the modular cannon, and unleashed a barrage of overloaded fire on the fleshy terrain!

After the fleshy terrain began to smoke, Wang Bufu observed it for a while and, finding no problems, led his troops back.

On that bizarre terrain, hundreds of eyes formed from condensed mud appeared out of nowhere, lying flat in the cracks of the scorched earth.

[Corrupted Swamp Eye Clan Corpses] *116
It was the Swamp-Eyed Clan. These semi-elemental units, who live in swamps, can use their eyes to reflect swamp mist, creating distorted "mirages" to lure invaders into the swamp or Poison Ivy area.

Even after being corrupted, they retained this ability. Those bloody, fleshy surfaces were created by them using mirages.

As semi-elemental beings whose bodies are filled with water, they are enhanced to resist burning. A large group of Swamp Eyes gather together to construct mirages, and as long as one Swamp Eye survives, the mirage can be maintained for a long time.

Relying on these eerie mirages, they could always scare away dangerous predators. Unfortunately, they ran into Wang Bufu, who wiped them all out with a single barrage of cannon fire.
