"Madam! Madam!" Joanna cried out in a panic.

Li Aili woke up with a start and sat up. "What happened?"

Joanna rushed into the tent, her face filled with terror, "It's...it's turned into a monster!"

Li Aili was startled.

Joanna exclaimed in horror, "The pumpkin...it's alive!!"

Li Aili: "..."

Li Aili was a little confused.

She quickly put on her clothes and shoes and ran out of the tent. Joanna, who was following her, said, "Edward and the others have already gone ahead. Everyone from the underworld has gone too!"

Li Aili didn't even need to ask; she knew where Thomason had planted the pumpkins.

Because a giant pumpkin, nearly ten meters tall, rose from the ground!

It's freaking incredibly conspicuous!!

Even across a dark street, she could see a giant pumpkin, several stories high, looming there.

Li Aili: "..."

When she ran to the edge of the forest behind Black Street, she was stunned by what she saw.

What should have been a forest has been 'occupied' by an army of pumpkins.

Even the smallest pumpkin can be cut down to make Cinderella's pumpkin carriage.

And the biggest pumpkin... Li Aili is willing to call it the King of Pumpkins!

It sat on its bottom and broke a large number of trees.

Centered on the King Pumpkin, the pumpkins grew wildly in a radial pattern, like bandits.

Upon seeing Li Aili arrive, the elves of the alchemy workshop immediately rushed to her side, "Madam, there's a problem!"

Li Aili stared at the ten-meter-tall 'King of Melons' and said, "I see it."

The elf said awkwardly, "It's not that, it's... I don't know whose growth potion went wrong, it caused side effects."

"So many pumpkins... they're alive."

Perhaps she got up too quickly, because Li Aili didn't quite understand what she was saying.

At this moment, Thomason, along with his fully armed brothers, arms outstretched and sleeves rolled up, rushed towards the pumpkin patch, drooling.

"Brothers! Charge! We're having all-you-can-eat pumpkin tonight!"

The hungry Campbells had barely stepped into the pumpkins' territory...

Suddenly, the pumpkin vines that had been quietly basking in the sun on the ground began to stir.

"Watch this!" Thomason raised his twin swords, displaying the same imposing presence he had when he conquered Canberra.

A whirlwind of hacking and slashing left many pumpkin vines severed on the ground.

He charged right up to a giant pumpkin.

Before Thomason could even charge forward and capture it.

The pumpkin was lifted up by the vine and swung around like a giant pendulum.

Thomas: "Me! @%@#"

He was so frightened that he turned and ran, but it was too late.

The pumpkin slammed into his back.

Li Aili saw Campbell's boss, as if he had grown wings, draw a beautiful arc in the sky.

It crashed to the ground in the distance with a loud bang, forming a large "T" shape.

The elf said, "As you can see, I don't know whose potion went wrong, but many pumpkins are showing signs of coming to life."

Li Aili looked at the endless 'sea of ​​pumpkins' with a headache.

"How many are alive?"

The elf pursed her lips, "Half..."

Li Aili: "..."

Is this person still allowed to go in?

Will it become a game of 'whack-a-mole' once I go in?

One mole, a hundred, not a thousand, the kind of 'whack-a-mole' game!

Finally, it has to be the knights.

The Golden Knight's appearance... was completely different from Thomason's unorthodox methods.

A golden knight charged into the pumpkin patch, deftly dodging the vines that swayed like a 'monster plague'.

He locked onto a pumpkin, leaped up the instant it was lifted by the vines, and unleashed a brilliant sword strike.

The vine connecting the pumpkin was severed instantly.

Then a lady nearby couldn't help but scream, "Al, watch out!!"

However, the knight landed lightly on the pumpkin and gracefully sheathed his sword.

He turned around and waved stylishly to his wife.

It means it's a small matter.

Li Aili opened her mouth... just about to remind him that there wasn't just one pumpkin on one pumpkin vine.

Just then, countless green vines burst forth around the knight, binding the pumpkin and the knight together into a ball.

Without giving the knight a chance to struggle, the green vines took off like a Ferris wheel.

But that speed is faster than a roller coaster.

The knights inside are also formidable.

At such a speed, an ordinary person would probably either get dizzy or vomit.

That person cut the pumpkin vine from the inside out.

Then, due to inertia, he was thrown away along with the pumpkin.

Ben: "Al, a pumpkin, not good enough."

So the second knight eagerly entered the pumpkin patch.

Li Aili: "..." Great, no need to worry about how to harvest the pumpkins anymore.

The knights have turned this place into a training ground.

Come to think of it, her territory does indeed need to designate a place for the knights to train.

Thinking about it that way, I might as well choose the kind of growth promoter with 'activation side effects' from now on.

So, Li Aili explained her idea.

Edward and Ben exchanged a glance and said in unison, "That's a good idea, madam!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a golden knight dragged a person out of the forest.

"Madam, this person is sneaking around there spying on us."

Li Aili glanced at him and saw that he was a middle-aged man whose clothes were covered in patches.

He was pale and thin, and looked terrified. He wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy as soon as he saw Li Aili.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Li Aili asked.
