Bloodstain, the unknown species and tier, is an exceptionally powerful special magic plant. Its name is just the nickname given by Liu Zibei, with its proper academic name unknown.
But the root cause of its irresolvable nature is because Lu Ping’an is just too weak... A low-level gardener cannot possibly analyze the trump card of a peak sixth-tier gardener.
So, the modifications he can make to it are extremely limited... But cultivating it is easy, just provide enough feed and fertilizer!
Taking advantage of the fertile land of life, Lu Ping’an has enough patience and time to cultivate plenty of these items.
"...Sheesh, that’s a bit too much. For the next one, I need to reduce the load by at least half..."
Attached to Catherine below, Lu Ping’an floats in the air, looking down.
There is no forest or wilderness left, everything is covered by a red ocean.
Once, when the bloodstain fell into Lu Ping’an’s hands, he couldn’t use it at all... He didn’t have Liu Zibei’s ability to control such a high-tier magic plant. If he approached the bloodstain rashly, the first to be devoured would be none other than himself.
There are two ways for Liu Zibei to use Bloodstain in battle, one is to gather into a group like a lurking behemoth, wake up at the right time, break through the ground, and directly tear and swallow the unfortunate souls above... Not to mention controlling it, without the Shrink Land Studios, Lu Ping’an wouldn’t even be able to wake it up.
To be honest, its controllability is extremely low, highly dependent on layout and luck.
But regardless of Fang Wen or Lu Ping’an, they both suffered losses... This thing has too high single-unit strength and too many in quantity. When they swarm, stopping means certain death.
Even back then, the high-level Silver-tier Dragon Sister didn’t hesitate to run away, but in the end, she was swallowed in one bite.
With Silver-tier combat power, only one stem could be cut off at a time. If you can’t clear a large number of them in a short time, it’s an unsolvable dead end. So, Lu Ping’an changed his idea and simply gave up on control.
"Cen can fix a certain amount of magic plant space and make it directionally sleep. Since I can’t control it, why not use it as a disposable bomb? Uh, this bomb might be a one-time thing, kinda expensive..."
Excessive "Bloodstains" were compressed into the hibernating "Evil Blood Pool" as a disposable bomb, but how to wake it up and how to make it pounce on the designated enemy became Lu Ping’an’s problem.
So, he made a list of requirements and asked Professor Wen for help in finding magic plants that met the conditions... and he did find them.
Now, when the buried Scenery underground is released, Bloodstain appears in the depths of this land.
And each "Drill Ground Grass" that pierces down takes on the role of waking it up... and triggering its "landmine" counterattack effect!
Originally, Liu Zibei’s second way of using it was to spread it out wide, scatter the concentrated vines on the surface or shallow underground, using them as landmines... This requires even more delicate control, having to "persuade" the magic plants to wait patiently.
But Lu Ping’an doesn’t need such trouble. Every Drill Ground Grass that rushes underground will naturally arouse the fury of Bloodstain.
Eventually, the buried "Blood Pool" underground is activated, and countless "Evil Spirits" rush to the human world, starting their hunt.
Lu Ping’an doesn’t even know how much his "Scenery" has compressed. He was only worried about insufficient lethality and tried to maximize it, but looking at the bloodstains that now cover the entire land, maybe he should load less next time.
To be honest, there is no way to clean up this thing once it’s thrown out. If this were still on Earth, Lu Ping’an wouldn’t dare to use it... He doesn’t want to receive a sky-high fine or wake up as an international terrorist.
"Uh, a headache..."
Lu Ping’an’s head tightened, feeling dizzy and uncomfortable.
This forest not only rejects his connection but even begins to curse and attack him.
Guan Xinxian’s premonition is right. When Lu Ping’an uses this "biological weapon," he naturally becomes the forest’s mortal enemy.
Is this an invasion of foreign species? It’s more than that, it’s the kind that doesn’t give any chance for survival, killing all native plants and animals.
Recovering? It’s impossible to recover, there’s no way to recover it.
The bloodstains underground crave everything and devour everything, like endless evil spirits.
In the boiling red sea, ordinary corpse monsters and demons have been completely wiped out. Those giant snakes are draped in layers of red, still rolling and struggling, but it seems they won’t last much longer.
𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Even the enemy Beast God puppet is struggling within the endless vines.
He didn’t react in time and was caught in the calamity for not taking off immediately.
However, at some point, the surrounding Sun flame blooms, causing these bloodstains to retreat.
That kind of flame with theological and divine qualities, even bloodstains have to avoid it... At least, before they’ve devoured all other food, they shouldn’t be interested in the "fire."
And this scene brightens the eyes of both the Knight and Lu Ping’an.
At this moment, the Beast God puppet had large chunks missing from various parts of its body, like a broken doll.
The frenzied Red Sea had no reason to let him go; he was perhaps the most valuable prey on the entire map.
Although at this moment, he was once again drawing upon the power of the Hand of the Divine, with tentacles growing from his injured parts and wounds, recovering at a bizarre and rapid pace.
However, at least at this instant, having just erupted and heavily injured, he should have been at his most vulnerable.
Lu Ping’an looked around once more, and the boiling red ocean was trying to swallow all the snake beasts and vegetation. It had obviously gone completely out of control.
"Come out! Little Flame!"
The moment they landed, the starving War Beasts suddenly appeared on the scene.
The holy "Sun True Fire" confronted Little Flame head-on... but it merely licked them off, looking as if it wanted more.
It opened its mouth wide, and the pure Holy Flame was directly absorbed, as if it had tasted something delicious.
Little Flame had not only ignited the Holy Fire within itself but also gained the skill to control it. It quietly mourned for a second for the Holy Flame Priest who had sacrificed himself on the battlefield.
Now, not only was it unafraid of the flames, it eagerly opened its mouth, wanting to swallow more of them.
On the other hand, the Beast God puppet who summoned the Sun Fire had suffered massive burns and decay.
Although the flame originated from its Divine-Blood, it was still a lethal weapon to its flesh, which was constructed from pollutants.
Not using it in battle and even trying to avoid Catherine’s Holy Flame was due to its instinct... but calling forth the Holy Fire to repel the Red Sea was also its instinct for survival.
However, this was undoubtedly a fatal blow to itself. The damage caused to the "polluted creature" by the Sun Fire in just a few seconds exceeded the cumulative injuries caused by Lu Ping’an’s team along the way.
It was cooked from the inside out.
Upon two rounds of attack, half of its feet were chewed off, while the other half were burned to ashes, losing any stability.
Without posture and balance, Lu Ping’an and Catherine’s assault was already in their face.
The beast’s claw was blocked head-on by Catherine... she didn’t try to control it or dodge, instead, her "armor" had chosen to refuse.
Just as she was astonished and unsure, Lu Ping’an had already circled to the giant god’s side.
"Shrink Land."
Easily bypassing the tail assault, he took a step forward, putting himself in the perfect position to strike.
Memories flashed back to the past, a strike after the spirit body’s possession.
Lu Ping’an just needed to stroke, twist and slash... and the Beast God’s arm was immediately cut open!
In the next moment, twisted tentacles appeared at the severed wound, trying to reconnect.
But how could Lu Ping’an let go of the treasure he already had in hand... he casually threw it, making it disappear into thin air.
Having lost the "source of divine power," the trapped beast was not yet finished. Without the binding of divine power crystals, it twisted and transformed in an instant, turning into a pollutant like the snake beasts.
"Holy Fire Relighting!"
But at the next moment, it was simultaneously burned by the Holy Fire of the metal knight, bitten and torched by Little Flame.
As the child of the Sun turned into a blazing torch, Lu Ping’an did not hesitate at this moment and hitched a ride on the metal knight without any hesitation.
Underneath the ascending Flaming Knight was the re-gathering Red Sea.
The Holy Fire fueled by the Sun God’s blood could drive away the Blood-sea, but relying on Catherine and Little Flame’s flames did not have that powerful deterrent effect.
"Plan Zero, let’s run."
This patch of forest... Uh, now it could only be considered a wasteland with a single type of plant. This area has completely lost its value. Looking at the "giant god" below being swallowed by the blood sea, Lu Ping’an did not hesitate to flee.
And this time, having gone through the test, the Newborn team naturally reaped a bumper harvest.
