As the dark creatures in the front row died one after another, the poisonous water began to evaporate and spread to the rear.
A large number of dark creatures were shaking their heads, and those in sight seemed to be dizzy. The weaker ones even died on the spot after being shaken.
However, that was all. After two rounds, as the poisonous fog dissipated, the toxicity on the dark creatures that followed was not so strong, at most making them dizzy and slowing their pace.
By the time the fourth wave passed and the fifth wave of dark creatures arrived, they were basically no longer affected.
"Tsk, can you research some poisons that have a longer-lasting effect? Or some that are more contagious? So that these dark creatures can be wiped out completely?" Ye Chen looked at the medicine-pounding rabbit beside him and asked a particularly irritating question.
Sure enough, before the Medicine-pounding Rabbit could speak, the Moon-embracing Rabbit next to it looked over with disdain.
"Are you dreaming? With the limited resources in our territory, you want that kind of poison? If we really had it, wouldn't it be enough to just wipe out the dark creatures? What need is there for a lord?" The Moon-Holding Rabbit said sarcastically, making Ye Chen feel extremely embarrassed.
It seems that's indeed the case?
Fortunately, the Moon-Holding Rabbit had a good temper. It gently hopped in front of Ye Chen and said softly, "There are poisons with long-lasting effects and strong infectivity, but they may not be able to poison these level 4 dark creatures. Their resistance is too strong! As for high-level poisons, we don't have enough materials in our territory to make them."
Hearing what the medicine-pounding rabbit said, Ye Chen shrugged helplessly. In the end, it was just that the territory was too poor and lacked resources.
"Alright! I understand. How many more rounds of poison can we spray?" Ye Chen asked.
"Hmm, at most one round. Some of the ingredients in this type of poison are quite rare, and we've already used them all!" said the Medicine-Pounding Rabbit. Ye Chen's lips twitched slightly. He suddenly felt that using poison seemed to be even more expensive than using magic crystal bombs.
It should be noted that the poison prepared by the Medicine-Pounding Rabbit contains several fourth- or even fifth-tier medicinal herbs. He currently lacks soil of sufficient quality to prepare these herbs, making it a finite resource that can only be used once and for a time, with at most only one or two seeds remaining.
If you were to sell this, it would fetch an astronomical price, far exceeding the value of magic crystals of the same grade, and it would be priceless and unavailable.
Not to mention the pile of Tier 1-3 herbs that were used up. This wasn't counted by the plant; Ye Chen watched as it led a group of jade rabbits away, carrying away bundles of herbs. It was heartbreaking to watch.
"One round at most? That means we can only hold out for about another hour at most? Time is running out. I wonder how many more dark creatures are gathering around here!" Ye Chen frowned slightly, thinking helplessly.
Normally, the beast tide caused by the Dark Tide would not be this terrifying. A beast tide starting from level 4 would be something even a group of genius lords working together might not be able to stop. This is clearly aimed at the Extinction Territory, and obviously, the target is the refresh stone in his hand.
Therefore, he was unsure how many more dark creatures remained, or how much longer he would need to resist.
If he runs out of poison and the dark creatures keep coming, he'll be in real trouble. He might become the first lord in history to voluntarily discard a refresh stone.
"This poison can only be preserved for a maximum of 2 hours, right?" Ye Chen asked again.
"Yes! The toxicity will gradually decrease after 2 hours, and will completely disappear after 3 hours." The medicine-pounding rabbit nodded. This type of poison has an extremely short shelf life, which is why it has to be prepared only after the Dark Tide begins.
"Seal it first, and I'll call you when I need it!" Ye Chen said.
The quantity of poison was scarce, but it was one of the few weapons he possessed capable of causing mass destruction, and he had to save it for a critical moment.
Next, without the interference of poison, the attacks of the dark creatures became even more ferocious. If it weren't for the Holy Light Shield, Ye Chen had no doubt that he would have been completely torn to shreds by now.
However, the Holy Light Shield consumes a huge amount of energy. Magic crystals are ignited as if they're free to maintain the Holy Light Shield, while the other members of the clan use ranged attacks to continuously launch attacks outwards.
Ye Chen glanced at his wristband during a break and noticed that the lords on the forum were all lamenting that there were far fewer Tier 4 dark creatures than expected this time. He had a few curses in his mind, but he didn't know whether to say them or not. It seemed that all the high-level dark creatures had come to his place.
"I guess I've made a contribution to all the lords?" Ye Chen thought to himself, looking at the densely packed dark creatures covered with holy shields around him, and took out the last batch of poison at the perfect moment.
There's no other way. If we don't use it now, let alone the clans, even people like Oros and Ye Xi will be exhausted from killing us.
Their target wasn't the level 4 creatures, but their level 5 leaders. In just a few hours, they had killed nearly a hundred level 5 creatures, demonstrating the intensity of the battle.
"Boom!" A large number of magic crystal bombs were thrown out, creating an opening for the fire crows. A large number of fire crows rushed out of the shield, throwing out the poison barrels they were holding in their claws, and then quickly returned to their territory.
"Roar~~~" The painful howls rang out again, and Ye Chen and the others finally got a chance to catch their breath. Everyone sat down on the ground without caring about their image, watching the dark creatures outside die while recovering their strength and relieving their sore bodies.
About half an hour later, more dark creatures rushed over. Although they were affected by the poison, they were not completely dead and still had some fighting power. The members of the clan rose up and fought, killing the poisoned dark creatures.
Fortunately, with the use of this batch of poison, the dark beast tide finally decreased visibly, which meant that the boundless dark creatures had finally been wiped out.
He couldn't even calculate how many dark creatures he had killed during this dark tide; he only knew that from the start of the high tide until dawn, the dark creatures outside his territory had never stopped swarming.
On average, one Tier 4 magic crystal is consumed every few seconds to maintain the Holy Light Shield. In just one night, thousands of Tier 4 magic crystals were used just to maintain the Holy Light Shield.
"It's finally coming to an end!" Ye Chen sighed as he looked at the gradually thinning beast herd outside, his eyes filled with exhaustion.
