"Excellent, excellent."
Chu Hongluan smiled and said "Very good" twice. Then, in no time, she personally destroyed the defense line that Chu Hongluan had painstakingly built. She dug up all the plants that had taken root in the soil, including the sunflower mushrooms, and threw them into her spatial bracelet. She left only a few cattails standing guard in the stream.
They were not given any chance to back out.
"Shall we go, everyone?"
"......OK."
What they really meant was: Of the plants you just brought in, a small portion of them are actually ours...
Forget it, let's just make do. What's the big deal if I give you attitude?
So the group set off in a grand procession.
Yuehua didn't stop them, but simply smiled and watched them go, saying, "Have a safe journey! Welcome back next time."
...It wasn't exactly a compliment.
After leaving the courtyard, the group followed their memory and headed towards the location of the fourth path.
The night was still as black as ink, with no sign of dawn. Looking into the distance, it was no different from the void of the Heavenly Ladder, making it almost impossible to discern directions.
Everyone looked grim: the campaign had not gone well.
I thought it would take at least a while to find it, but when I was only halfway there, I saw a monster running towards me from afar.
I reckon it's the eve of the fifth wave, and they've started sparsely spawning small monsters.
The monster clearly hadn't expected to encounter them halfway through its journey. After a brief moment of surprise, it immediately became excited, rampaging at full speed and charging straight at the group of reckless humans—
"Don't move, watch my performance."
Chu Hongluan quietly stopped everyone from grabbing their weapons, staring intently at the magical beast, but remained silent for a long time.
In the blink of an eye, the monster was already right in front of him—
No sooner said than done, Chu Hongluan's mind stirred and a tall nut plant appeared out of thin air!
"Click, click, click..."
The monster began to eat tall nuts uncontrollably.
Holy crap!!!
The monster's blood-red eyes seemed to glisten with tears. Why was I gnawing on this worthless, rotten nut when there were such sweet-smelling human cultivators right before me?!
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then burst into wild laughter.
Hahahaha!
Discover new uses for plants.
Without waiting for the plant's poison to take effect, Chu Hongluan swiftly beheaded the plant, plucked out the magic core with the tip of her blade, crushed it, and then with a wave of her hand, stored the nut in her spatial bracelet.
It was done in one go, flowing smoothly like clouds and water.
"Do you understand now?"
"I understand now!"
Chu Hongluan took out the two relatively hardy plants, nutmeg and pumpkin head, from her spatial bracelet, wrapped them in spiritual energy bubbles, and distributed them to everyone.
Kotinghe looked at his empty hands, his face full of disbelief: "We've been through thick and thin together, and you're giving them to them but not to me?!"
Apart from Ke Tinghe, the elders of the Knife Sect, Le Zheng Chang'an, the elders of the Sword Pavilion, the elders of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, and Liu Jinghong, everyone else had one, even Mo Yu had one.
"Young friend Ke, please calm down. Elder Chu must have other plans for us."
Lezheng Chang'an wore a warm smile, seemingly unassuming, yet he already knew everything.
"Senior Yue Zheng is very perceptive." Chu Hongluan smiled slightly and said, "I'm sure everyone knows the direction the monsters are coming from. Soon, the fifth wave of monsters will arrive, and it will be from that direction as well. If they follow their original trajectory, they will all rush to the courtyard at the same time and surround it, making us like turtles in a jar."
"Therefore, I need those of you holding plants to divide into three teams, led by Young Hero Mo of Jian Ge, Young Hero Feng of Peng Lai, and Buddhist disciple of Wan Fo Zong, respectively, to divert the beast tide, circle around it, exhaust its stamina, and then lead it to the west, south, and north of the courtyard."
"At that time, Young Master Liu, Young Hero Ke, and I will ambush two miles west of the courtyard; Senior Yue Zheng, along with this Sword Pavilion Elder and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect Elder, will ambush two miles south of the courtyard; the Saber Sect Elder, with his profound cultivation, will ambush alone two miles north of the courtyard..."
"Where's the east side of the courtyard?" Li Dazhuang asked instinctively.
Qiao Yue jumped up and slapped his mouth, pulled him back into the crowd, tugged at his clothes, pulled him down, and whispered in his ear, "...The east side of the courtyard is Senior Yuehua's residence, you can't get in."
What you're doing makes our sect seem rather unintelligent.
Chu Hongluan glanced at the two of them, a slight smile playing on her lips, before quickly regaining her composure: "Once the team that lured the monsters reunites with the seniors who were lying in ambush, the bloody battle will begin. I hope you will all give it your all. I will discuss the rest with your elders, so you don't need to worry about it. You can set off now."
"Go," the elders of each sect ordered. "Be careful and come back alive."
"yes!"
So the disciples followed the plants and headed into the darkness.
Only Chu Hongluan, Liu Jinghong, Ke Tinghe, the elders of the Knife Sect, the Penglai Island Master Le Zheng Chang'an, as well as the elders of the Sword Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect remained in the original location.
Chu Hongluan took out all of her output-type plant inventory and divided it into three equal parts.
There were twenty-four cherry bombs, exactly eight for each portion; of the five remaining Destruction Mushrooms, Chu Hongluan kept only one, and divided the rest equally between the two of them.
That was the key to their victory.
“Before, a group of people were crammed inside the defensive line, which inevitably restricted their movements. Now, you can all display your prowess. Kill as many as you can. If you really can't kill them all, then fight and retreat, letting them into the courtyard.”
Chu Hongluan turned to Liu Jinghong: "Once all the remaining demonic beasts have entered the courtyard, Senior Brother will activate the Demon-Subduing Formation."
"good."
The six people immediately sprang into action.
