Final Lord

Chapter 220 Roots Exterminate Insects!
"That's right, Brother Bufu!" Bai Ling cheered. "I haven't been able to figure out a solution, so I can only sleep."

Wang Bufu smiled slightly.

"It's alright, we're here. We're different; we're just ordinary beings in the God-Guardian World. We can kill these cultists without attracting any attention or chaos."

"That's wonderful!" The white ghost moth happily twirled in the air. "If I can get rid of all these bad things, I won't have to sleep every day anymore, and I can spend more time taking care of the forest."

"If you're not convinced, I'll be right there to protect you. If any cultists try to escape from your traps, I'll stop them."

"Thank you." Wang Bufu smiled and said, "Whether or not you help me, I will wipe out these cultists. It is my duty as a being of order."

After receiving permission and being allowed to observe from the White Spirit God, Wang Bufu unleashed his full power. He unleashed three ordinary Wujin cultists at a time, wiping them all out in a second. He unleashed three more, wiping them all out again. His efficiency was so high that the White Spirit God watched in awe.

Soon, Wang Bufu wiped out all the cultists at the transcendent stage, leaving only three yellow-robed bishops.

The epic of the yellow-robed bishops begins here, with no upper limit; even the king, who is not convinced, dares not easily release them.

If their defense is high enough, or if they react and activate a magic shield, the focused fire of the wind blades will not be able to kill them instantly.

Although Bai Ling promised to help, Wang Bufu was still worried that it wouldn't be fast enough and that some of his troops would be taken away by the yellow-robed bishops.

So he asked, "Sister Bai Ling, how strong are these yellow-robed bishops? What level are they roughly at in the Epic tier?"

"Hmm?" Bai Lingshen shook the tentacles on his head: "I don't know. Their strength should be about the same, anyway, they sealed it without much effort."

Wang Bufu pointed to the root-extinction insect and asked, "Compared to it, is any of the three stronger than it?"

“That giant worm. They’re all stronger than it. Quite a bit stronger,” Bai Ling said. “But none of them have the aura of a legendary being, so they’re all epic beings like me.”

All of them are better than root-destroying insects?!

Wang Bufu's fingers paused.

Good heavens. Root Extinction Insects, Epic Tier 6. They're all Epic Tier 6 or higher!
What... what's the point of hitting me?

My troops are only at the Transcendent Rank 3 on average, barely able to break through their defenses. And unlike monsters, cultists aren't mindless and can't be slowly worn down.

He tapped his head, somewhat troubled, and said, "Sister Bai Ling, I may have to break my promise. My troops are not yet able to deal with them, so I can only ask you to seal them away for now."

Give me some time. Once I'm confident, I'll definitely help you take them down.

"It's alright." Seeing Wang Bufu's ashamed expression, Bai Ling quickly comforted him, "You've already made things easier for me by helping to deal with so many cult members."

As she spoke, Bai Ling's tentacles twitched, and she tentatively asked in a low voice, "If they can't take it down, can you take down this big guy?"

My consumption of stagnant cocoons is based on volume. That giant one consumes the equivalent of tens of thousands of cultists. As long as we eliminate it, sealing away the remaining cultists is fine.

If you can take it down, I'll pay several times the friend fee.

Root Extinction Insect! Epic Tier 6!
Wang Bufu's eyes narrowed immediately.

If it were a fully-fledged Root Extinction Insect, he certainly wouldn't dare to have any ideas. However, this Root Extinction Insect was in a state of life and death, severely damaged, possibly with only a sliver of blood left. He really dared to try.

However, the prerequisite is that he needs to know the attributes and special abilities of the Root Extinction Insect.

So he asked, "Sister Bai Ling, could you weaken the power of the cocoon a little? Don't let it out, just don't wrap it up so tightly. I want to observe it carefully."

“Hmm, I can give it a try.” Bai Lingshen thought for a moment, then tapped his tentacle and said. “Alright, let’s go over there.” Wang Bufu’s spirits lifted. “I need to get closer to observe.”

"Alright! I'll take you there." Bai Ling fluttered her wings, and in the blink of an eye, Wang Bufu was on the other side of the lake. Accompanying Wang Bufu were his troops.

Good heavens, spatial teleportation! And it's spatial teleportation with an entire legion involved.

Wang Bufu was shocked. Even a legendary general like General Ed wouldn't know this trick. He had to transform into a cloud giant to walk to the Frozen Soul Nest with Wang Bufu's troops.

"I'm going to begin." Bai Ling excitedly controlled her tentacles, slowly dissolving the stagnant cocoon wrapped around the root-destroying insect.

As the stagnant cocoon gradually disappeared, the attribute panel of the Root Extinction Insect slowly appeared in front of Wang Bufu.

"Take off a little more, just a little bit. Okay, okay! Stop! This is perfect, just right."

Root Extinction Insect (Epic Tier 6)
attribute

Health: 3500/86000
Attack: 420 (Physical) + 280 (Corruption)

Defense: 600 + 150 (Carapace reduces physical damage by 70%)

Speed: 32 (ground) / 18 (underground)
Special skill:

Earth Vein Ruler
It ignores terrain obstacles when moving underground.

Automatically summons 1 [Root Transport Bug] (Normal Tier 3) every 300 meters moved.
Metal Devourer

Permanently increases defense after consuming metal or gold coins (+3 per 1000 gold coins, maximum +150).

Each time it is attacked, it consumes 1 point of additional defense and releases a small-area metal storm (range 20 meters, dealing splash damage equal to 200% of attack power).
Root network
All root-type monsters within a 5-kilometer radius gain the "Berserk" status (Attack +20%, Defense -15%).

Extinction Charge (3-second cooldown)
Charges forward in a straight line at 300% speed, dealing piercing damage equal to 3 times the attack power to enemies in its path, and inflicting "Root Entanglement" (immobilizes for 3 seconds).

Six special skills remain, but they cannot be used due to the weakened state...

With over 8 HP and a dash skill with a 3-second cooldown... it truly lives up to its epic monster status.

Fortunately, six powerful special skills are unusable due to weakness, leaving some room for maneuver.

Looking at the Root Extinction Worm's stats, Wang Bufu fell into deep thought. The Root Extinction Worm had significantly more health points than he had expected, making it very dangerous to fight.

He asked Bai Ling, "Can you inflict a little more damage on it after the seal is broken, so we can finish it off?"

"No. Not only can't you, you can't kill it immediately after it's unsealed." Bai Ling said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's different from those cultists. I didn't seal it away at full strength; I sealed it away after I injured it. A lot of my power of rules still remains on it."

You have to wait half an hour after the lockdown is lifted, until my rules dissipate, before you can kill it.

Oh hoo.

Wang shrugged, unconvinced. "Fine, this is even more difficult now."

"Please, please!" Bai Ling's antennae on her head came together and swayed up and down like human hands. "If you don't like it, brother, think of a way. I've really had enough of sleeping twenty-three and a half hours a day."
