In the trial illusion, Mu Chuyue looked at the enemy on the seventh floor.
This is a huge monster that is tangled together. The center is wrapped in layers of thick vines to form a ball, and dark purple vines are waving outside, each of which is as thick as an arm's embrace.
The rattan ball in the center was suspended in the air, with sticky black-purple juice overflowing from its interior, dripping onto the ground along the vines.
The earth was left with traces of corrosion. Even from such a long distance, Mu Huoyue could still smell a disgusting stench.
The investigator's bracelet displays the detected illustration information.
[Name]: Plague Thorn
[Attributes]: Insect, Wood
[Racial Level]: Low-level emperor
[Growth Level]: Maturity Stage 2
[Talent Core]: Plague (Insect A-level)
[Introduction to the Race]: The Lord of the Secret Realm found in the A-level Secret Realm "Source of Pollution", a special evolution of the Poisonous Thorn, possessing strong biological toxicity and infectivity. It was once the source of a plague that caused large-scale death of plants in the area. Its toxicity can also infect extraordinary creatures.
[Normal hidden energy value]: 17.5wP
The trial illusion of the seventh layer is a huge threat in the memory of the withered spirit deer, an emperor race with strong toxicity and infectiousness, the Plague Thorn.
Mu Huoyue had learned about this race from the secret realm investigation report of the Affairs Bureau. It was said that they were the lords of the secret realm that first appeared in the A-level secret realm in the Hela region. After entering the advent period, they quickly polluted the nearby areas and spread outward at an extremely fast speed.
Even though the plaguethorn was finally destroyed by the court beastmaster, the disease that spread between the earth and plants caused a three-year famine in the Hela region.
The ancient Dayan also faced the threat of the plague thorns, but on its way forward it collided with the guardian of the earth and was completely destroyed by the withered and flourishing spirit deer before it could pollute the fields.
This is undoubtedly the most powerful and most difficult enemy in the trial illusion.
The combat power of the mature Emperor race is at a peak that is difficult for a Level 5 Beastmaster to reach, coupled with the [Plague] skill that is most effective against crops.
If it is touched even a little bit, the entire wheat field will be quickly contaminated and sickened, resulting in a reduced harvest and zero points.
Mu Huiyue looked at the huge rattan ball in front of her that was constantly leaking venom, clenched her fists, and felt her heart beating very fast.
It's not fear, but excitement of facing a strong enemy. She enjoyed the battle, and that was why victory was so joyful.
The human beastmaster's brain was thinking rapidly.
The Plague Thorn is extremely powerful, as evidenced by the fact that the Withered and Flourishing Spirit Deer set it as the last level of the trial enemy.
If the one that appeared in the illusion was the Plague Thorn from the real world, an ultimate form of the imperial race like the Angry Rock Bastork, then Mu Shuyue would not be able to defeat it no matter what.
But this is a trial illusion set up for Level 5 Beastmasters. The Plague Thorn was suppressed to the second stage of maturity. As an individual wild supernatural creature, its normal hidden energy value was not much higher than that of the Force-Patterned Grizzly Bear of the Warrior race.
This is an enemy on the same level as her. Even though he is powerful, he is still within her reach.
The pets' skills can work, and their attacks will cause damage, which is the basis for the tactics she is good at to work.
Besides, she is not without some advantages.
The Plague Thorn has strong biological toxicity and infectiousness, but these two characteristics are completely restrained by the undead Eren.
After all, undead supernatural creatures have a completely different biological structure and are almost immune to being infected by biological toxins. Their accompanying death mist can also block the spread of biological toxins to a certain extent.
The first court beastmaster who eliminated the plague thorns in the Hela region also relied on his undead pet to achieve victory.
Secondly, this trial is not a formal battle, and the only factor limiting the time is the wheat field points.
Before the wheat field points are exhausted, Mu Huoyue can use various tactics that cannot appear in formal battles.
For example, you can let one of the pets enter the [Rest Hut] to recover quickly, while the other pet can hold back the enemy in an endless round-robin battle.
If she could forcibly control the Plague Thorn like she did with the Force Pattern Grizzly, she would also be able to win this trial.
Mu Huoyue turned around and looked at the remaining points in the wheat field [45/100].
This will be a difficult battle, but Mu Huoyue has already glimpsed a tiny chance of winning.
She is good at seizing every opportunity to win in a battle.
"Ellen, White Fang." She looked at her pets.
The card soldier turned his head, slightly opened his jaw, and revealed a unique smile of a skeleton.
He liked it best when the Beastmaster called out to them with a look like this, as it meant that Hiiragi had taken control of the battlefield.
He has a human partner who is smart and sharp, and is as good at fighting with his brain as he is.
The little cloud dog stood up straight and let out a low growl filled with fighting intent.
“Woof!”
Following the instructions of the human beastmaster, the Plague Thorn also launched an attack. The vine ball hanging in the air suddenly exploded and sprayed out countless dark purple venoms.
"Eren, use the Skeleton Ghost and sneak into the shadows with White Fang!"
The phantoms of dozens of small skeletons appeared on the battlefield. The black mist beside the Pai Ya Bing wrapped around the little cloud dog. More black mist spread out and surrounded the skeleton ghost.
The first wave of venom fell, corroding the hard mud and rocks into spots of holes. The phantoms of the little skeletons ran back and forth, bringing up black mist that spread like smoke, blocking the toxins that were spreading to the wheat fields.
This is also the improvement after absorbing the [Death Mist Gem]. Under the influence of the death mist, the skeleton ghost can already have substantial interaction with reality.
Mu Chuyue breathed a sigh of relief. This wave of counterattack was also a test to prove that the idea of using death fog to prevent toxin infection was feasible!
"White Fang attacks from the side, and Ellen uses Netherfire!" Taking advantage of the gap after the Plague Thorn released his skills, Mu Huiyue launched another attack.
The little cloud dog leaped out from the shadows, and quickly rushed towards the Plague Thorns using Shadow Steps. Countless thick thorn vines whipped over, and were about to hit White Fang, but it showed no intention of retreating and accelerated forward.
A dark blue flame exploded in the air. The Plague Thorn, whose soul was burned, retracted some of its vines in pain. The vine ball floating in the center opened slightly, gathering a rich dark purple aura.
A-level attack skill: Plague!
White Fang used the acceleration of the forward rush to launch a sneak attack with all his strength, slamming into the Plague Thorn fiercely, causing the vine ball floating in the air to turn and slide down a distance.
The thorn vines that had originally opened up a little twisted into a ball again, and the plague skill could not be released successfully.
The Plague Thorn seemed to be angry. It raised its vines that were as thick as a man's embrace and slammed them hard on the ground.
Bang!
The whip caused the earth to tremble slightly, and the entire battlefield space changed accordingly.
The sky was covered with dark clouds and then it started to rain. What fell was not ordinary rain, but contaminated venom.
The imperial domain of Plaguethorn, the source of the plague!
In the area covered by the field, all the plants quickly withered and died, and the grass on the ground gradually disappeared, revealing cracked soil.
The wheat field behind Mu Huoyue was also infected and continued to lose points in the toxic field.
She secretly clenched her fists. The most troublesome thing about the imperial race is the domain skills. When there is no domain skill of the same level to compete with, they can only withstand all the changes that occur in the domain.
The source of the plague greatly enhanced the ability of the Plague Thorn. The suspended vine ball emitted an unknown sharp hissing sound and sprayed out venom again.
White Fang, who was already retreating, was unable to dodge and was affected by the venom on his tail. The dark purple poison quickly spread throughout his body.
A summoning array with four layers of imperial patterns appeared below it. Mu Huiyue asked Bai Ya to return to the beast-controlling space and recover in the [Rest Hut].
The venom transformed into heavy rain that never stopped, and soon melted the ground into a swamp filled with toxins.
The Pai Ya soldiers were the only ones who were not affected on the battlefield. Those deadly biological toxins had no effect at all in front of the white skeletons surrounded by the death fog.
Mu Huoyue glanced at the wheat field and saw that the points had dropped to [32/100].
There was an illusion of a little skeleton beside her, which brought a thin layer of black mist to cover her head, protecting her from the poisonous rain.
"Click." (Hiiragi.)
The Pai Ya soldiers on the battlefield turned around and looked at their beastmasters.
There is no need to explain the tacit understanding between them. Mu Huoyue knows that in a toxic area like the source of the plague, it will be difficult to carry out the permanent control kite tactics for a long time.
The rate at which the wheat field's points dropped could only sustain the next round of attack.
How to defeat a mature enemy of the imperial race with absolute advantage in one round of attack?
"Click, click." (I'll open the sepak takraw ball.)
The pale skeleton looked towards the Plague Thorn, with thick death fog swirling around him. Two slender leg bones condensed in his hands, and a calcified light flashed by, coating the pale bone blade with a layer of sharp metallic color.
"Click." (Leave the attack to the puppy.)
Mu Liuyue nodded silently.
Ellen used the verb "open" in the clicking sound.
In the previous round of confrontation, Ellen and she both saw enough information, such as the thorn vines that slightly opened when the Plague Thorn released the [Plague] skill.
It has no other body parts, and the important core is likely to be heavily wrapped in thorny vines, forming a floating rattan ball shape.
Eren obviously noticed this as well. This was just a guess based on combat experience, but it was worth it for his beastmaster to formulate tactics based on this and take a gamble before the wheat field points were completely reduced to zero.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Eren."
“Go ahead—!”
Following the human girl's command, the Pai Ya soldiers, holding two pitch-black bone blades, disappeared from the spot in an instant.
The muddy swamp was filled with deadly toxins and was also covered with shadows. The Pai Ya Soldiers kept diving into the shadows and quickly emerging, as if flashing, appearing in front of the Plague Thorns in a few blinks of an eye.
Thick vines came flying at him from the air. Allen ducked to dodge the first one, but the other three were waiting for him in the blind spot.
The soldier sank into the shadows, emerged from the shadow of the vine falling to the ground, and raised his hand to chop at the fourth vine that followed.
The sharp bone blade sank into the thorn vine, as if it was shaken in a sticky and soft semi-solid, and it was difficult to move forward any further. The fifth thorn vine rolled over, and the sharp and poisonous barbs were like the fangs of a beast, biting the body of the prey in one bite.
The skeleton's bones were crushed by the thorn vine.
However, the next moment, he pieced himself together again in front of the rattan ball, with all his bones fully reappearing, along with the bone blade in his hand.
