Chapter 2330 - Oil Lamp Fireflies (2/2)
She basically meant she had done everything she could to help.
“Likewise,” Mo Fan agreed.
The Poison and Plant Elements were complicated and contained a lot of variables, unlike the other Elements that adhered to a certain set of principles. Only people who were interested in becoming a Herbalist would spend their time studying them.
Su Xi walked over to Mu Bai and asked seriously, “Senior, do you think the Mushroom Ticks are similar to one of the species in the Andes Mountain Range that we discussed before?”
“The Ancaman Arachnids.”
“Yes, but they seem different, too. The Ancaman Arachnids can’t reproduce so quickly.”
Mu Bai looked at the Demon Fireflies that had lit up the woods like a city and thought about Professor Xylan’s words.
“The Demon Fireflies reproduce very quickly, and the Ancaman Arachnids are infectious and have a strong ability to fission,” Mu Bai murmured.
Su Xi’s eyes glittered. She blurted out, “These Mushroom Ticks must be a mixed breed between the queen of the Demon Fireflies and a male Ancaman Arachnid!”
Mo Fan did not understand a single word of their conversation. He only hoped they could find a solution as quickly as possible.
The Federation Army had lost the previous battle because it was surprised by unknown species of venomous insects which had taken over the battle in no time. The soldiers were too scared to keep fighting.
Fear was more contagious than the venom of the insects. The number of deaths caused by the Venomous Insect Shamans was not high, but the Federation Army had still lost the battle.
The red Demon Fireflies in the woods stopped hovering in the air. They flew higher into the sky, like they had just received an order.
The light of the Demon Fireflies was surprisingly bright when they gathered together. It was shining upon the battlefield like a red moon.
The Demon Fireflies suddenly dove at the ground!
They tore through the gray curtain of rain and scattered above the battlefield like fire sparks before diving at the soldiers.
Their abdomens bloated like oil lamps. An oil lamp could easily cause a carpet of flames once it was flung to the ground!
It did not matter if the Demon Fireflies landed on the ground or the soldiers. Their kamikaze dive instantly turned the area into a valley shrouded by poisonous mist. Every soldier soon found themselves swallowed by the mist!
The bodies of those caught in the poisonous fog festered immediately. Some of them even melted like ice if the Demon Fireflies’ poison struck the them directly!
“How vicious can those Venomous Insect Shamans be?” Zhao Manyan yelled as he was searching for a safe spot.
Mo Fan was helpless too.
There was nothing he could do to stop the enemy’s attack, unless he could find the Poison Mage controlling the insects.
Mu Bai and Su Xi had just figured out the traits of the Mushroom Ticks, but now the soldiers were being attacked by another species.
There was clearly more than one Venomous Insect Shaman!
