Chapter 76 Plants vs. the Devouring Beast Horde
"Oh no, oh no, even Lin Yuan's wooden dummy has been swallowed up! What should we do?"
Xia Dou was extremely panicked.
There's no need to worry so much...
Lin Yuan could feel the wooden figure using its mouthparts, branches, and vines to burrow into the interior of the fly-grass beast.
Sensing something was wrong, the fly-grass beast stopped, its body writhing and undulating as if trying to spit out the wooden figure.
It really worked.
Lin Yuan paused, just as he was about to say something.
Suddenly, Sui Xing said nervously, "Let's get out of here first! Something underground seems to be reviving! Follow me!"
Her cochlear bio-radar detected the life fluctuations of a Devouring Beast underground!
The others' expressions changed, and they quickly followed Sui Xing's footsteps, leaving the area and finding a relatively safe Gobi hillside.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of an object breaking through the ground rang out.
One by one, cicada pupae emerged.
These cicada pupae, hidden underground, suddenly transformed into moth-like Devouring Beasts.
These "cicada pupae" are actually the forms that the Devouring Beasts take to envelop their bodies. The parts that protrude from the ground and resemble cicada pupae are actually their backs.
They leaped up on their six legs, flapped their wings, and flew towards them, landing near them.
These moths, combined with their jumping ability, can actually fly dozens of meters.
Lin Yuan frowned slightly.
These Devouring Beasts resemble a combination of a moth and a mammoth, with many mouthpart-like tentacles extending from their heads.
Moreover, it can fly, so while the advantage of finding a high place is still useful for Shattered Star, its effect is not as great.
The three-tomoe jade slowly appeared in Lin Yuan's eyes.
The seeds of these weevil moths were glowing blue.
The moths that rushed up were chopped in half by him, one cut after another.

Immediately afterwards, the flesh and blood transformed into the living soil, which was absorbed by the catalyzed seeds and turned into a protective barrier, surrounding everyone.
Sui Xing's expression turned serious, and he fired several arrows at the approaching elephant moth.
No wonder people from other settlements also died here.
If one is careless along the way or breaks the Origin Return while resting nearby, they will inevitably be discovered by these Devouring Beasts lurking underground.
Even if they were to return to their original state later, it would be too late.
Fortunately, the plants that Lin Yuan catalyzed could provide some protection for a while.
I don't know how long it can last.
However, one moth after another was flying over from afar.
The sky was pitch black, and the sound of wings flapping sent chills down your spine.
These were all summoned by the screams of the fly-grass beast.
This made their expressions even more unpleasant.
A fighting spirit rose in Lin Yuan's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He wondered how many source energy points he could get from so many monsters.
"With so many Devouring Beasts, it seems we have no choice but to go all out!"
"Should we launch a defensive attack? Okay!"
Xia Dou nodded with an understanding look on her face.
These Devouring Beasts are indeed too cunning; you really can't beat them if you're unprepared.
Shattered Star nodded. "Yes, even your wooden golem was eaten. We do need to defend against them and then find a chance to shake them off and escape."
Lin Yuan was momentarily confused. I don't think that's what I meant, is it?
At the same time, the flygrass leaped out of the gate.
It no longer cared about the wooden figure inside its body; after all, the humans with life essence in front of it were the most important.
The inside of the split back emitted a fluorescent glow, accelerating the death of the moth that was not yet completely dead.
The holes used for vocalization closed, the tail frantically sucked in air, and the spine suddenly split open, as if trying to unleash another war roar.
"Oh no, it's happening again!"
Sui Xing's expression changed drastically.
The previous time, there wasn't even any build-up of power, yet it still produced such an exaggerated effect.
Having prepared for so long, its power is absolutely not to be underestimated; it's a sonic attack, there's no way to dodge it!
Moreover, this time, the Flygrain's battle roar may summon even more Devouring Beasts!
Just at this time.
"boom....."
Amidst the astonished gazes of the group, the fly-grass beast exploded.
It collapsed to the ground in agony, gas continuously spewing from its tail.
Looking at the cracked part on the back, the holes used to make sounds were tightly blocked by the vines of the wooden figure.
The oak treeman burrowed into the abdominal cavity, and then splinters exploded from the inside!
Pfft pfft pfft!
The wooden thorns that had been deeply embedded in the body forked and grew again, piercing through the Spirit Seed.
The fly-grass beast let out a final, mournful cry before dying completely. Its flesh and blood transformed into the earth, leaving only its enormous skeleton.
[Defeat the Devouring Beast, Source Energy Points +200]
The kudzu wood person scattered the seeds encased within its body.
New vines continued to grow, and soon another oasis appeared.
The oak tree people and the kudzu tree people also grew much larger.
Its body, which was originally less than six meters tall, suddenly grew to more than eight meters.
What... is going on?
Everyone's eyes suddenly widened.
Did the flygrass be killed by the prey it swallowed?
Unexpectedly, the fly-grass beast's act of swallowing the wooden figure was actually courting its own death.
You really shouldn't eat food from strangers.
It probably felt aggrieved, because it hadn't even shown its true strength before it died.
However, its enormous body became nutrients for the wooden figures and plants.
Lin Yuan smiled. It was indeed a good Devouring Beast.
Besides the weevil moths, there were also quite a few snakes and dogs, and the earth howled as they rushed over.
One wave after another.
The fly-grass beast's cry—no, its summoning ability—was indeed powerful.
"Come on, follow me!"
Lin Yuan activated his power, connecting the two green areas to form a large oasis.
With this catalytic plant turning into an oasis, the primitive resources for fighting against these devouring beast hordes were accumulated.
In less than a minute, the oppressive horde of Devouring Beasts surrounded the oasis.
Weevil moths, snake dogs, ground roars...
What's going on today? Why are there so many Devouring Beasts?
Sui Xing and the others looked at the Devouring Beast horde with extremely solemn expressions, and for a moment they even had difficulty breathing.
Normally, if they encountered so many ugly people, they would definitely turn around and run away immediately.
Can Lin Yuan and his group really manage?
Chapter 77 Super Awesome
A large number of Devouring Beasts launched an attack on Lin Yuan's plants.
Pouncing on Lingling...
Moths flapped their wings and crashed into the vines, their bodies pierced by the sharp thorns that sprang from the oak tree, and the spirit seeds were destroyed by the thorns that grew inside them.
The snake-dog's ankle was grabbed, causing it to trip and fall face-first to the ground. It was then tightly bound by vines, howling and struggling, unable to get up again.
"Boom."
The earth roared with a low, muffled thunderous sound, its forelimbs stroking the swollen red throat pouches, and it opened its mouth to shoot out bursts of red high-frequency sound wave pulses, the aftershocks of which could cause temporary dizziness.
However, this had almost no effect on the plants; they merely swayed for a moment, then quickly returned to normal and continued fighting.
The kudzu woodman and the oak woodman charged forward, killing the Devouring Beasts one by one, each possessing ranged attack capabilities...
Many of them also managed to slip through the net and jump in.
Lin Yuan's three jade beads spun continuously, aiming precisely at the location of the spirit seeds. Just like playing Fruit Ninja, he sliced them to death before they even landed.
The others also assisted Lin Yuan in the battle.
Shattered Star fired a few arrows from time to time, Xia Dou controlled a snake-dog, and Silent also fired a few shots.
However, the group looked rather strange. As the main fighting force of Dragonbone Village, they felt like they were just ordinary soldiers.
However, unexpectedly, Lin Yuan's plants were able to block so many Devouring Beasts.
Since returning from the last test.
In such a short period of time, the upper limit and speed of plant growth by consuming the soil have increased so much.
Such a rate of progress is simply frightening.
[Defeat the Devouring Beast, Source Energy Points +10]
[Slay the Devouring Beast.....]
[Killed...]
The oasis transformed into a large circle, constantly expanding as if it were about to devour all the Devouring Beasts.
.........
"Wow, he really is an army all by himself..."
Xu Tong looked through the binoculars at the ever-expanding green circle, his tone filled with amazement.
As long as no large Devouring Beasts appear.
Lin Yuan alone could probably fight off the horde of beasts.
Boss Bai also sheathed his Alaya consciousness and breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly.
Actually, when Lin Yuan's team was surrounded and attacked, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Collective action by Devouring Beasts is actually quite rare.
This is why she dared to let Lin Yuan bring others along on the mission.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yuan's first field mission was met with an attack by a horde of Devouring Beasts.
