Some Arrangements in the City

The [Eagle Catching Spider Nest] in front of us occupies a large area, almost one-tenth of the woodland in the Demon Plant Zone.

Compared to the previous "Slanted Roof", this place is quite conspicuous. The occupied woodland is directly covered with a layer of white Spider Silk, like frost and snow.

Several black Spider, each the size of a calf, moved back and forth on the Spider Silk. Their green mouthparts indicated that these Spider were highly venomous.

However, Gu Xi noticed something else: in the very center of the [Eagle Catching Spider Nest], there was a green pool of water.

Some green liquid was dripping down the Spider Silk.

"What's going on? I don't remember that the [Eagle Catching Spider Nest] has a function to collect Spider Venom."

"When the [Eagle Catching Spider Nest] was built, the Alchemy Laboratory was upgraded to level 3 and a new recipe was released that was useful for these Ebony Spider. All the alchemy potions produced during this period were used for this."

Gu Xi listened to the situation here, and he never expected that such a thing could happen.

"Oh, what kind of potion is it? Is it very effective?"

"The Poisoning Potion will cause some animals to become toxic. These Ebony Spider are currently in a state of regurgitating venom and will need to take the Poisoning Potion for a period of time, about two weeks. After that, the Ebony Spider will be able to launch highly venomous attacks."

At the same time, the Spider Silk in the vicinity will also be affected, becoming highly toxic.

As Gu Xi and his companions were talking, they arrived at the Troop Stockade City Gate in the Demon Plant Zone.

At this moment, Gu Xi noticed that many scarecrows had been placed on the City Gate.

When Gu Xi came over, these scarecrows would turn their heads to look at Gu Xi. Their faces, made of burlap sacks, and their eyes, made of buttons, looked quite eerie.

"Seriously? Why are these scarecrows here?"

"They're perfect. These are all Scarecrow Hunter. Don't be fooled by their immobility once they're fixed in place; they're incredibly effective at defense."

Gu Xi climbed up the city wall of the Troop Stockade City Gate with some curiosity. He found that the Scarecrow Hunter did not look very tall from below, but when he got closer, he found that they were actually more than three Mido.

They also had nets or similar weapons wrapped around their hands, and stones and boomerangs were piled up at their feet, which were made of bamboo poles.

Ten crows stood on the outstretched hands. If it weren't for their small size and metallic sheen in their beaks, Gu Xi would have mistaken them for ravens used by the Chaoyang Radiance Guild to deliver messages.

On a city wall, a Scarecrow Hunter stands every five meters. Apart from turning their heads, they don't move at all.

Gu Xi didn't know what role they played here. Instead, Gu Xi noticed that several large trees seemed to have appeared in the mist outside the Troop Stockade City Gate.

There were still some hanged corpses hanging from the big tree.

"What are those? The Undead Tree Pit?"

Gu Xi was speechless. He hadn't even been to the Dark Farm yet, and their troops had already been deployed here.

"Yes, I had considered moving the Dark Farm here before, because several of the units there have a high compatibility with the Demon Plant Zone."

However, the Demon Plant Zone is not the main direction for future development. The Mist Zone there is too close to the depths of the Mirror Dungeon, and now is not the time to develop in that direction.

That's why the Dark Farm was moved towards Aryadovi Tower.

Luna explained some of the circumstances.

However, Gu Xi's attention was not on that. He braced his hands on the top of the city wall and stared intently at the Undead Tree Pit not far away. He noticed that the corpses hanging on those tree-like things were actually moving.

Meanwhile, about ten meters below the tree, arms would occasionally stick out from the ground.

"Are the Undead Tree Pit' like the scarecrow? Once it's Rooting, it can't be moved?"

"They can move, but the movement speed is relatively slow. It took them nine days to travel from the Crimson Undead Tree Pit Blood-colored Forest."

Just then, a group of Ghoul Shadow burst out from the nearby mist.

These Ghoul Shadow were few in number and not particularly strong; they were simply driven by an instinct to attack Gu Xi's city.

As they charged, the corpses hanging above the Undead Tree Pit emitted a grotesque laugh, immediately attracting a large number of the Ghoul Shadow who rushed towards the Undead Tree Pit.

However, they had only rushed to within about ten meters of the Undead Tree Pit when they were tightly grabbed by an arm that reached out from the ground.

Then the corpse hanging from the tree fell down and began to actively attack these Ghoul Shadow.

Is this what you call Root Entanglement? Gu Xi was speechless. He had only slept for fifteen days, and now he was completely unfamiliar with the situation of all the undead.

At this moment, all the Scarecrow Hunter sprang into action, and the crows that had landed on them flew towards the Ghoul Shadow.

They would also throw stones and boomerangs at the eerie creatures.

Gu Xi discovered that their firing range was surprisingly high.

The crows can fly to a distance of about 700 meters from the scarecrow, while the stones and boomerangs they throw can fly at least 200 meters.

This is beyond the normal situation with Skeleton Soldier. It seems that Luna and the others placed the scarecrow on the City Gate, which is quite reasonable.

"Have all the City Gate been decorated?"

"No, only the Troop Stockade City Gate has been deployed. The Steel City Gate is guarded by the Earthbound Weird Dragon, so it hasn't been deployed there."

Over at the Main City Gate, the six dragon corpses, after fifteen days of transformation, have become Bone Dragon and are currently staying there; no scarecrows have been sent over.

"They've all turned into Bone Dragon, so what happened to the red dragons from before? Are they alright?"

"Not for now. I've already moved them to the Weird Mirror Space, where they can relax and be unaffected by the Blood Maple."

"That's good. So, were the refugee camps affected by Blood Maple these past two times? Were they all spawning undead units?"

"No, these two refugee camps actually produced some good units. Last week, eight Pegasus Cavalry, the level 4 kind, came out. I sent them all to the Weird Mirror Space."

Six Cyclops appeared this week, but they were only level 5, clearly not the strongest ground-based ones. Dimi took all six of Cyclops.

"Dimi? All three buildings she needed are finished?"

When Gu Xi heard that Dimi had taken the Cyclops, he asked one more question.

"It was all completed on the fourth day of your slumber. On that day, Dimi automatically became the Hero of the city. However, she monopolized the Giant Graveyard Zone and demanded that all the Vampire produced in the past few weeks be incorporated into her ranks."
