Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1331 620: Cultivators Form an Army (Part 2)

"No need to wait, I've left a mark on him. As long as he comes out, I'll definitely sense it," Boss Lu was quite concerned about the sound of cannon fire earlier and quickly left the border line with Yu Yaoming.

...

Li Banfeng was examining the wilderness in the New Land. He responded to Zhang Wanlong and gave him considerable support, but the rules of the Ten-mile Reclamation couldn't be changed, and the bounty for Strange Monsters couldn't be lessened. All the Strange Monsters with strength on the territory brought out their best skills to fiercely fight Zhang Wanlong.

After a day of preparation, Zhang Wanlong planted the whole Ten-Li Territory with bok choy.

Xiao Genzi didn't quite understand: "Big Brother Zhang, are we just planting this one thing?"

Zhang Wanlong replied, "I'd also like to diversify, but with just one day, we have to plant something that grows quickly and is easy to sustain."

"Can this bok choy fight?"

"Whether it can fight depends on who it's up against. As long as we have enough, we can hold our ground."

On the first day of the examination, Lao Niu led a group of Strange Monsters and aggressively entered the plot, and the bok choy swung its leaves and tussled with Lao Niu.

Back when he was under Qiu Luoye, Lao Niu was famous far and wide for his thick skin and tough meat. These attacks from the bok choy were no more than a tickle to him.

He swung his horns and plowed through the bok choy, clearing a path and leading everyone towards Zhang Wanlong.

They saw Zhang Wanlong sitting in the middle of the plot, sipping tea and eating a biscuit.

Root picked up a bucket, preparing to confront the enemy.

Li Banfeng hovered in mid-air, quietly observing the battle using his unnoticed Home Cultivation abilities.

He was a bit worried for Root. As Strange Monsters, Lao Niu and his old comrades had high cultivation levels. Just relying on Root, how long could he hold out?

But at this moment, he couldn't speak, nor should he.

Zhang Wanlong reminded Root, "Brother, don't hit too hard, and don't use too much Golden Juice. Let's not make the Local Deity dislike us."

Just as he finished speaking, Lao Niu had already broken through the bok choy field and was closing in on Root.

Root was calm and unhurried, swinging his ladle to use the Glinting Golden Light technique.

Droplets of Golden Juice fell like fine rain, precisely landing all over Lao Niu.

Li Banfeng was somewhat surprised. He had seen the Glinting Golden Light technique before when Xu Han used it, mainly against Green Flower's pus-covered body. The technique focused on density, but Xiao Genzi achieved impeccable precision, controlling it so well that it went beyond Li Banfeng's expectations.

It showed that Root's cultivation level had greatly improved.

What also surprised Li Banfeng was Lao Niu's state. He only focused on charging and didn't defend against Root's technique at all.

Root had seen Lao Niu when he reclaimed under Qiu Luoye back then, and by coexisting for so long on the territory, Lao Niu should know the power of Golden Juice. Why didn't he dodge?

It wasn't that he didn't dodge; he couldn't dodge. Something was wrong with Lao Niu.

His steps were very disorderly, seeming to have a strong momentum, but his attacks were completely without strategy.

He had been affected by some means.

Having gone through many battles, Li Banfeng quickly found the source of the means. In addition to spots of Golden Juice, Lao Niu also had quite a bit of teal-green liquid on him.

This liquid came from the bok choy. Lao Niu, having broken through the bok choy field, had a lot of bok choy juice on him. He was poisoned.

Xiao Genzi evaded several of Lao Niu's charges, stirred the bottom of the bucket with his ladle, preparing to scoop out something dry.

Li Banfeng had seen this move too; it was the Water Covering Golden Mountain. He intended to create an erupting Golden Mountain beneath Lao Niu's feet.

But in Lao Niu's current state, the Golden Mountain wouldn't even need to erupt; Lao Niu would be done for once he fell in.

Zhang Wanlong stopped Root from the side and shouted to Lao Niu, "Mr. Niu, we usually have a good relationship; just go. You won't earn anything from this job!"

Lao Niu left angrily but didn't go far; he ran to a corner of the plot and started munching on bok choy leaves.

The reason he didn't leave was that he didn't want to miss this feat, and dozens of Strange Monsters followed behind, charging up to Xiao Genzi.

Xiao Genzi swung his ladle again, using the Golden Light as Waterfalls. Golden Juice transformed into a glamorous golden curtain, gently cascading down from the air.

The waterfall poured over the Strange Monsters, and under intense corrosion, their skin was burnt, and flesh melted.

Similar to Lao Niu, they didn't dodge or take defensive actions, slavishly advancing as if they'd lost their minds.

After a few rounds, these Strange Monsters couldn't stay on their feet; Zhang Wanlong reminded Xiao Genzi once more to give them a chance to escape.

Most of the Strange Monsters retreated and ran to eat bok choy with Lao Niu.

Li Banfeng inwardly chuckled. After all these years, this bunch of Strange Monsters hadn't grown any wiser. This poisonous bok choy, and they dared to eat it.

A few Tree Spirits hadn't surrendered. As Strange Monsters, their resistance to Golden Juice and poisonous bok choy was much stronger. The Peach Tree Spirit and Willow Tree Spirit, under the nourishment of Golden Juice, grew more vigorous as the fight went on.

Zhang Wanlong continued sipping tea at the side, enjoying it heartily. Seeing that Xiao Genzi was truly unable to fend off these Tree Spirits, Zhang Wanlong finally took action.

He added some Medicinal Powder to the teapot, stirred it with a chopstick, and once it dissolved, he flicked his wrist and poured the pot of tea into Root's bucket.

Root swung his ladle and used the Glinting Golden Light again. This time, as Golden Juice landed on the Tree Spirits, there was a change.

The branches and leaves of the Tree Spirits quickly grew, but the trunks and roots remained unchanged.

After a long bout, the canopies expanded larger and larger, but the trunks and roots could no longer support them, and the Tree Spirits began toppling to the ground one by one.
