Ive Led the Villain Astray, How Do I Fix It?
Chapter 417
Hadnt left? The devil raised an eyebrow, sneering, Heh, do these two little mice want to ambush us too?
The rest of the winged devils laughed heartily in coordination, their eyes looking at the small forest with strong disdain.
Where Xu Ziyan had set the ambush was not too far from them, and since the group did not deliberately lower their voices, those words naturally reached their ears.
He did not feel disheartened by being discovered by the enemy. In fact, he had anticipated that situation. After all, not all devils were foolish. If the opposition had been following them all along, they must be confident in their strength.
If they could be easily ambushed and eliminated by such a simple trap, then the devils would not have been able to sustain the war for such a long time.
The devil person seemed impatient with the situation. He signaled to one of the winged devils, crossed his arms, and stared at the forest as if watching a show.
Receiving the masters signal, the winged devil sneered and shouted loudly towards the forest, Human cultivators inside, listen up! You have nowhere to escape. However, Lord Fengdu is willing to give you a chance. As long as you surrender all your storage artifacts and surrender to the devils, Lord Fengdu can guarantee to transform you into devils!
Listening to that, Xu Ziyan could not help but sneer internally. That devil called Fengdu really thought being a devil was something extraordinary? He shamelessly used the devil transformation to lure them out.
Seeing such a person, Xu Ziyan instinctively associated him with the phrase Han traitors. But now, those transformed devils should actually be called human deceivers
Unintentionally, Xu Ziyans imagination ran wild, and he nearly burst out laughing. Although he immediately stifled the subsequent sound, the exhale had already alarmed the devils outside the woods.
The black-robed devil sneered and his dark eyes slightly narrowed, Ungrateful fools!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs he spoke, two among the winged devils following him jumped out. Their long tails whipped forward, shooting out bone-like projectiles.
The winged devils were a large tribe within the devils, including several branches within. The ones attacking were the bone-spur winged devils, which, in addition to having double wings for flying, could produce sharp bone spurs at the tips of their tails.
Those two bone-spur winged devils attacked swiftly, devilstrating their expertise and synchronization.
Xu Ziyan watched the two winged devils whipping their tails like machine guns, shooting bone spurs into the forest. A faint smirk appeared on his face.
Since they had decided to ambush there, they had not overlooked defense. Those two winged devils attacks were indeed formidable. However, it was too naive to think they could force them out with such an attack alone.
The forest was lush with vegetation. The bone spurs swept through the forest, cutting down numerous small trees. In a short time, about a third of the woods had been decimated.
Stop! The man in black robes raised his hand, halting the attack of the two winged devils.
He squinted at the forest, his lips curled slightly in an amused arc, Interesting.
Many small trees had fallen in the grove. Even sdecades-old large trees had not escaped the bone spurs assault. However, those fallen trees began regrowing swiftly from their root systems. During the brief attack by the two winged devils, the grove had expanded slightly.
Wood element? Youve handled it well, the black-robed devil said, his lips curling into a smile as his eyes glittered with a cold light, But its not enough!
The two bone-spur winged devils retreated slowly, and another winged devil with double wings on its back flew out from behind them.
The winged devil looked extremely ugly, with a green face covered in pustules(bumps filled with pus) the size of fingertips.
Once the green winged devil flew to the front, it began panting loudly. With each breath, the pustules on its face seemed to burst open, oozing thick liquid.
Ugh How disgusting, Xu Ziyan admitted.
He had never considered himself judgmental based on appearances, but facing a face boiling with toxic pus like that, he genuinely could not handle it.
Though he felt disgust in his heart, both he and Xu Zirong remained hidden within the woods without moving.
Their defense against attacks earlier was solely reliant on cultivating trees to withstand the assaults. If they impulsively jumped out due to disgust, they might as well find a crooked tree and hang themselves.
The distant buzzing noise worsened Xu Ziyans complexion. If he had not misheard, it seemed like a large swarm of flies was approaching
Whether it was the revolting nature of the green winged devils actions or something else, apart from the black-robed devil standing in front, the other devils instinctively retreated a few steps.
Shortly after, Xu Ziyan saw a large group of giant flies flying towards them from a distance.
Those flies were about the size of fists, many times larger than ordinary flies.
The green winged devil seemed to be using stechnique to control the group of giant flies. Considering the green winged devils previous actions, Xu Ziyan speculated that it was related to the pustules on its face.
For the sake of attracting flies, the winged devil made itself look like a bubbling cauldron of pus
The green winged devil controlled the flies and directed them towards the forest. Xu Ziyan watched as the swarm approached, wearing a nonchalant expression on his face.
The flies looked anything but harmless, and their lethality was undoubtedly significant. However, once they entered the forest Hehe, if they continued their arrogance, wouldnt it make Xu Ziyan and Xu Zirong appear useless?
As the flies flew into the woods, they gnawed on most of the trees. They did not just consleaves, but they devoured entire branches, even the decaying leaves near the tree roots. They left behind a trail of white fly eggs in the soil wherever they went.
Bleh Xu Ziyan admitted that he was genuinely disgusted this time. He could accept Xu Zirong producing various plants, even those with hidden dangers, like the flowers with sharp edges. However, when it cto the green winged devil cultivating flies and such It was just too revolting so disgusting that he could not tolerate it!!!
Fortunately, Xu Zirong noticed his brothers greenish complexion and immediately activated various devil plants hidden in the forest. Those seeds, modified by his blood magic, were bloodthirsty and, with Xu Zirongs wood elemental power and Blood Sea Heart Sutra, swiftly grew into enormous sunflowers.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWell, they only resembled sunflowers on the surface!
In reality, those devil plants did not possess the sunflowers phototropism at all. Instead of seeds, their core contained enormous bloody mouths.
The towering sunflowers swayed gracefully, seemingly elegant and charming. But upon closer inspection, those gaping mouths were greedily devouring the flies
The originally overwhelming swarm of flies began to show gaps in their formation due to the sunflowers feasting. The residual fly eggs left in the soil were penetrated by thin, elongated grass leaves, siphoning their nutrients. In the end, only transparent eggshells were left behind.
The green winged devils face changed dramatically. Those giant fly devils were painstakingly nurtured by him. Usually, they were almost invincible in battles for him, but unexpectedly, he suffered such significant losses there today. Feeling extremely heartbroken, he quickly ordered the swarm of flies to return.
Want to escape? Too late! Xu Zirong sneered coldly. With a gentle flick of his fingertip, numerous vines began to wriggle and twine on the path where the flies were returning. Soon, they formed a thick green net.
Thewas tightly woven, and the vines emitted a sticky substance that exuded an extremely sweet scent. Xu Ziyan felt the fragrance was overpowering, almost dizzying, but the swarm of flies seemed enticed by something fatal. Disregarding their masters command, they flew towards the vinewithout further hesitation.
Like a spider spinning its web, the vinewas almost like a spiders web to the flies.
The vines predatory instincts were similar to that of a spiders. They ensnared their prey in the web and then began to feed. The only difference was that instead of the spider having to approach its prey, those vines grew sharp thorns on the net, piercing the preys body, liquefying their internal organs, and absorbing them entirely.
The green winged devil watched as his entire fly army was annihilated, which angered him. However, other than controlling the flies, he had no other tricks up his sleeve. It was absolutely impossible for him to take the risk of charging into the woods to save his flies. Meanwhile, the other devils seemed indifferent towards him, merely watching with contemptuous smirks, showing no intention to help.
After the flies had all entered the vines web, the black-robed devil casted an apathetic glance at the green winged devil.
With just one look, the green winged devil already knew he was done for. Losing the group of giant fly devils rendered him useless to Lord Fengdu. Asking them to rescue his flies was out of the question. For Lord Fengdu, not killing him right there was already showing mercy.
Lord Fengdu detested trash the most, especially those who embarrassed him in front of humans!
Hmph! Lord Fengdu expressed his dissatisfaction with a disdainful snort, frightening the green winged devil.
The reaction clearly pleased Lord Fengdu. He just coldly glanced at the green winged devil before waving his hand, sending two more winged devils flying toward the forest.
The green winged devil heaved a sigh of relief. While losing the flies was painful, they were still something he could cultivate again. As long as he remained unharmed, he could simply go into seclusion for a period and cultivate new fly species.
