Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1332 620: Cultivators Form an Army_3

They moved with difficulty, leaning against the tree roots, leaving the battlefield for the edge of the territory.

This was a strategy set up by Lao Niu before: losing a battle was not important, don't easily leave the ground, rest for a night, and then continue fighting.

Lao Niu ate bok choy while summarizing the lessons of failure: "Today's defeat has one reason, our hearts are not united! I charge once, you charge again, and the remaining old trees charge last,

what's the use of charging like this? When we get to their front, we're just waiting to be defeated one by one! Our hearts must be united, and we should charge all at once, we mustn't miss this cultivation level."

Li Banfeng really felt sorry for these strange monsters, they were still thinking about gaining cultivation? If it weren't for Zhang Wanlong showing mercy, they would have lost their lives long ago.

Even if Zhang Wanlong spared them, the way they're eating now, Li Banfeng estimated they wouldn't make it till tomorrow morning.

But surprisingly, Lao Niu ate dozens of bok choy and still didn't collapse.

The other strange monsters also ate a lot of bok choy and haven't shown signs of poisoning yet.

This isn't right.

Just now, when they charged, they got some bok choy juice on them and were all poisoned, being beaten helplessly in front of Xiao Genzi.

And now, they've eaten so much bok choy and haven't collapsed, what sense does this make?

The poison of the bok choy is only suitable for external use, not for internal use?

Or did the bok choy intentionally retract its poison, deliberately not poisoning these strange monsters?

Zhang Wanlong maintaining restraint, wanting to spare these strange monsters, Li Banfeng wasn't surprised.

But having just the thought isn't enough, the bok choy releasing poison and retracting it, is that even possible for bok choy?

...

The next day at dawn, Lao Niu and a group of strange monsters recovered about seventy to eighty percent, gathering together to help the Tree Spirit trim the excess branches and leaves from the canopy.

Two leopards were unwilling to help: "Mr. Niu, we don't eat grass."

Lao Niu got angry: "This is war, not a feast! Who told you to actually eat it?"

After trimming away seventy to eighty percent of the new leaves, the Tree Spirits also stood up, and the group of strange monsters gathered together again, charging toward Zhang Wanlong and Xiao Genzi.

The pair hadn't woken up yet, snoring in the tent.

During the charge, Lao Niu discovered the path he had plowed out yesterday was gone, and the bok choy he had overturned had all grown back.

The newly grown bok choy and the old bok choy were no different; today, with the thick fog, the path plowed out yesterday was completely lost.

In his thoughts, Lao Niu shook his head.

Why find the path?

Why not plow out a new path and start the fight again?

These bok choy fall over with a push, standing on the ground without moving, dealing with them is easy as pie.

No, weren't these bok choy pretty resilient yesterday, why aren't they moving today?

In thought, Lao Niu suddenly felt dizzy, collapsing to the ground unable to get up.

Dozens of strange monsters behind him fell to the ground one after another.

The remaining few Tree Spirits were still standing but did not dare to rush forward easily, as the situation was practically the same as yesterday, even if they rushed up, Zhang Wanlong could easily knock them down with a pot of tea.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, the Tree Spirits reconsidered, dragging everyone back to the edge of the territory.

The thick fog on the plot did not disperse for a whole day, Zhang Wanlong and Xiao Genzi had plenty to eat and drink, laughing and talking, and the second day of reclaiming new land passed with ease.

Li Banfeng hovered in the air, already discovering the source of the thick fog; the mist came from the bok choy leaves, with tiny droplets on the leaves constantly evaporating, forming a dense fog over the Ten-Li Territory.

Getting bok choy juice on you results in poisoning, eating the bok choy leaves doesn't cause poisoning, the fog released by the bok choy can poison people; the toxin takes different forms and is released and retracted at will. Crucially, these toxic mists selectively attack enemies, with Zhang Wanlong and Xiao Genzi in the center of the vegetable field remaining unharmed while Lao Niu and the others were poisoned!

"Wife, do you think this is still bok choy?" Li Banfeng recounted the outside events to the phonograph.

"Qi Lang, what you're describing isn't bok choy, it's clearly Poison Cultivation!" Hong Ying cut in front of his wife, thoughtfully comparing bok choy to Poison Cultivation, feeling there's not much difference, "Poison Cultivation has a technique called Invisible Eye, which allows the poison to only attack enemies without harming allies. Bok choy has even mastered this technique, so what's the difference between it and Poison Cultivation?"

The wife spoke cautiously: "Beloved husband, we can't say that bok choy mastering a technique makes it Poison Cultivation, I've reviewed many cases you brought back from the Outside Provinces, and these bok choy are somewhat like those Foreigner Cultivators."

Indeed, they are somewhat similar, possessing combat power and technique, but lacking a system.

Is this perhaps because the bok choy haven't taken medicinal powder?

Cultivators are proud and self-centered, making it difficult to unite them into an army.

But if one day, a peddler gives Zhang Wanlong medicinal powder, wouldn't Zhang Wanlong be able to grow a cultivator army?

Even if this army only consisted of Earth Skin level one or two, with this production rate, their combat power would be astonishing.

Li Banfeng thought about the bamboo Xiao Genzi had given him.

Zhang Wanlong was researching Iron Bamboo.

Even if the peddler doesn't give Zhang Wanlong medicinal powder, he might figure out how to make it himself.

...

By the third day, the bok choy on the plot had grown too dense, and the strange monsters were poisoned halfway through their charge by the bok choy juice.

Clearly, with Zhang Wanlong's current strength, reclaiming new land was a clear dominance over the strange monsters. By the afternoon of the third day, Zhang Wanlong set up a few tables of wine, inviting the surrounding strange monsters to dine in the vegetable garden, thus resolving the conflict.
