Chapter 227 The Poison Attack Plan
"Poison? The poison of the Great Poison Armor?"

"Of course. The name 'Great Poison Armor' wasn't given out for no reason."

"As far as I know, the poison of a typical Poison Armor Warrior... forgive me for speaking frankly, but it's not very effective, is it?"

"Ordinary poison-armored warriors are indeed no match, but the poison of the Partridge King is."

"Uh……"

"Could it be that the Partridge Lord has mastered an even more powerful poison-based ability?"

"You can say that!"

"..."

As its name suggests, the warriors of the Great Poison Armor Tribe, upon evolving into mountain lords and awakening their metal talents, inevitably comprehend a toxin ability called 'Heavy Metal Decay'.

The Great Poison Armor Warrior has four horns.

The tips of the two vertically upward-pointing horns at the rear are covered with fine hairs, giving them a super strong detection and perception capability.

The two parallel horns pointing forward are exceptionally hard and tough, serving as both innate combat weapons and poison-producing organs. The Great Poison Armor Warrior can normally collect metal through various methods and integrate it into these two horns. They can also use the 'Heavy Metal Decay' ability to nurture some heavy metal elements into highly toxic substances, storing them within the horns.

During combat, the Poison Armor Warriors can use these pre-stocked highly toxic substances to poison their attacks. Any attack that merely touches or comes into contact with the target can manipulate the heavy metal toxins to invade, causing widespread necrosis of body tissues.

It's a rather formidable innate ability. The drawback is that it requires two horns as a vessel to nurture and store the toxins, and the toxin reserves are extremely limited. It's possible that after years of painstaking accumulation, a single fight or the release of a few abilities would deplete them all.

Detailed explanation of Curcuma zedoaria:

Partridge Lord awakened his metal talent when he was a high-level warrior, and also comprehended the ability of 'heavy metal decay'. When he broke through to the Mountain Lord level, he comprehended an ability called 'heavy metal form'.

The combination of these two capabilities results in a qualitative leap in the decay capacity of heavy metals.

The Partridge Lord's entire body can nurture and store 'heavy metal toxins,' transforming it into a 'poisonous insect.' Its toxin content is more than ten thousand times that of other insects, and its toxins are far more lethal, making it a true 'Great Poisonous Armor.'

Seawater is the best medium for the spread of heavy metal toxins.
The evil spirits of the Fog Sea are all transformed from the Fog Spirits that parasitize various marine creatures. Their nature and instincts remain unchanged. They still dwell in the depths of the ocean, unable to ascend to the sky or set foot on land.

Therefore, this ability has a fatal restraining effect on the evil spirits of the Fog Sea.

Therefore, the insect kings of the Flame Spider Kingdom and the Ivory Island Kingdom conspired to concentrate resources on cultivating the Partridge Lord, so that it could go to the Fog Sea to poison and kill the evil spirits lurking in the deep sea.

...

At the Cyathea Mountain ruins, various races obtained a considerable amount of extremely high-level Force food. In a short period of time, a large number of King-level and Lord-level warriors will emerge from the Twin Islands of Saluo and Ivory Island.

Jin thought they were foolish enough to rush into the fog and fight the fog spirits and evil spirits to the death.

It turned out not to be.

These insects can also use their brains and come up with solutions, and surprisingly, they use such despicable and vile methods.

However, it sounds very feasible!
...

"When will the King of Curcuma Insects make its move?"

"Both the Sumeru Insect King and the Ancient Hook Insect King are quite old, and they don't have much time left to stay in the astral plane, maybe 90 to 120 years. It depends on the situation."

"Wouldn't we need to invite warriors from the southern continent to help us?"

"That's right. The Flame Spider Kingdom and Ivory Island Kingdom of the Northern Twin Islands dispatched about 40 Insect Kings. The Southern Continent invited some Insect Kings with water-type talents who are good at fighting to assist in the battle."

"There are four calamity ruins similar to the Sea of ​​Fog on the southern continent? Should we cooperate to eliminate them?"

"We don't have any plans in that regard for the time being. If we could cooperate to eliminate it, we would have done so long ago. Why wait until now? The mist spirits and evil spirits in the misty sea are water-based, with few and weak attack capabilities, making them relatively easy to deal with. It is the only calamity ruin that we have a chance to eliminate."

"Now everyone is hoping to obtain enough of those super-high-level divine resources from the Misty Sea Ruins to cultivate tens of thousands of King-level warriors. If so, with our combined efforts, we should be able to sweep away the four Calamity Ruins in the Southern Continent."

"Oh……"

Jin pondered for a moment, then said ruthlessly, "The possibility of finding Force food in the Fog Sea Ruins is extremely slim."

"Uh……"

The King of Eshu Insects was stunned for a moment, then said, "Then there's nothing we can do. If we can get rid of the Fog Sea, at least our northern twin islands will have peace from now on, and our race can develop in peace."

Stable development? That's unlikely.

Without trade with the Southern Continent, and without the circulation of a wide variety of high-quality divinely bestowed food, how can the race develop?

"Too."

Jin gave a perfunctory reply, saying he didn't want to say more on the topic.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to deal with the Fog Sea; on the contrary, Kimbi wanted to storm into the Fog Sea to see just how magnificent and splendid the 'Mirage Cloud Palace' of the Fog Ancestor, one of the seven great progenitors of the human race, really was.

It's not that Jin believes the 'Mirage Cloud Palace' has no treasures; on the contrary, as far as Jin knows, each of the seven progenitors of the human race possesses a divine artifact inherited from the Eternal Star Civilization.

If the 'Mist Sea Energy Field' within the Mirage Cloud Palace is formed by the immortal remains of the Mist Ancestor, then the unknown artifact is most likely located within it.

Jin already possesses the ancient artifact 'Time-Space Cube' and has gained unimaginable benefits from it.

It was impossible for Jin not to be tempted by the artifact of the Primordial Ancestor of the Mist. Jin fell silent.

The King of Eshu Insects, however, was engrossed in conversation and inquired, "Jin, you possess both lightning and other elemental talents. Judging from your aura, you intend to primarily utilize your other elemental talent, with lightning as a secondary element?"

"That's the plan."

Kim answered truthfully.

The Insect King asked, "You enhance your alien power by absorbing the primal force of the 'Primal Crystal' and meditating? That can't be fast, right? Even if you have enough resources, it would be difficult for you to break through and advance to Insect King within 90 to 120 years, wouldn't it?"

Jin is also feeling bad about this.

Jin also envisioned using loan business to efficiently utilize resources, cultivate more Spider Kings and Insect Kings, and in the future, organize and command them to work together to break through the Fog Sea.

Unexpectedly, these insects already had a way, and their claws moved so fast that I probably wouldn't have enough time to advance to Insect King, and I probably wouldn't have enough strength to compete for the artifact.

Kim replied perfunctorily, "I will try my best."

The Eshu Insect King, completely oblivious to Jin's unusual behavior, enthusiastically suggested, "Lightning-type abilities are quite effective against the Fog Sea Energy Field. You could definitely consider focusing on the Lightning type to grow and evolve as quickly as possible. You'll even have the chance to participate in battles in the future and reap some of the rewards."

Jin solemnly agreed, "I will consider it..."

After chatting for a few minutes, Jin said goodbye and left.

...

...

"Mr. Jin, how is it?"

"The Curcuma worm king and his companions have tracked down a decent ruin."

"Um... what about us?"

"There is no good direction at the moment."

"How about we organize the team and start digging?"

"No rush. Let's go back to Ruins 1002, look around, and examine it carefully."

"OK……"

Led by strong winds, they returned to the southern part of Ruins No. 1002 overnight.

Leaving the ancient city of Dizhou, there is a wide main road leading straight south. On the map drawn by the Eshu Insect King and his companions, it is numbered 4010. Insects have dug along this road.

However, lacking the powerful remote sensing abilities of the Curcuma zedoaria king and the Spathiphyllum king, the team could only dig tunnels, continuing to excavate along the road.

Furthermore, due to the lack of a cheap and efficient excavation and transportation team like the termite army, the tunnel was abandoned after being dug for less than 20 kilometers.

Moreover, it wasn't just one team; multiple teams tried to dig there, but found it too difficult and had to give up. There were forks in the path, and they even tried digging along those forks, but each time they abandoned their efforts halfway through.

There is also a highway numbered 4011 that goes due west.

Jin and Dafeng rushed over to check, and the situation was similar.

After wandering around for a long time, there were no bargains to be found, and no valuable clues were discovered.

Blindly digging could result in nothing for a year or two.

However, the other members of the team, including Dafeng and the Secret Order Ant King, have been urging us to start digging as soon as possible since the second half of last year.

—The King of Curcuma and the King of Stone Insects have become cunning; there are few opportunities to plunder by following behind them.

— It is not a wise choice to remain still and wait for the leak to occur.

—Take action, rely on your own efforts, and maybe you'll get lucky and find something.

—We've already made a lot of money, so even if we don't find anything, it's not a big problem.

So, where should we dig?

After considering the matter, Jin instructed Dafeng to gather the excavation team.

quickly,

Fire and White Night led 5 soldier ants and 3000 worker ants to arrive first.

The five lords, Blood Fruit, Golden Nan, Tuanhua, Bai Cang, and Yellow Cherry, along with the Lord of Purple Wind Mountain, arrived one after another.

The main water of the Mist Empire.

The Mirage Cloud Palace is located in the eastern part of the island.

If there are any important relics, they are more likely to be located on the east coast.

The 4010 expressway runs right along the east coast, winding southward. Jin directed his team to excavate southward along the 4010 road.
