Poisoning the Grass, Recycling Waste!

Xu Kun, having suffered an initial setback, had no intention of being polite to the Blue Silver Grass that stretched across the mountains and plains before him!

Movement speed of 0?

Relying solely on dividing its root system to perform Blue Silver Entanglement?

Let's see you try to entangle me! Let's see you try to wrap around me!

Watch me eradicate you completely!

The Blue Silver Grass's greatest reliance is its concealment and suddenness. Once it loses the initiative, even a Level 1 Cavern Giant Rat would be able to do nothing against it!

At worst, I just won't enter your pile of broken grass, and that's the end of it!

But Xu Kun, obviously, couldn't adopt a cowardly escape method. With 6% completion at stake, he had to kill it no matter how difficult it was!

Moreover, the vast plain in front of him was covered with swaying Blue Silver Grass. Even if he wanted to bypass it, it was impossible!

He couldn't go deep, and cutting off its divided roots from the outside wouldn't harm its main body. So, what should he do?

Simple, set a fire and burn it all down!

Blue Silver Grass is definitely a welfare monster for ranged magic attacks. As long as you stay far away, you'll understand what it means to be out of reach!

Xu Kun didn't bother dealing with those annoying divided roots. Instead, he retreated to a safe distance. The dense Blue Silver Grass roots danced like silver snakes, but they were just a few body lengths away from Xu Kun, unable to advance any further!

"Wildfire!"

Xu Kun pointed his finger, sweeping it across the divided roots and weeds in front of him, aiming at the dense Blue Silver Grass main bodies on the plain.

Any animal, upon seeing a rain of fire falling, could try to run, but alas, these Blue Silver Grasses didn't have legs. When they sensed the impending danger, they foolishly split off numerous roots to block above their heads, attempting to stop the fire rain from falling!

Doing so not only failed to stop the fire rain, but also reduced the main body's health, accelerating its own death!

The area covered by Wildfire wasn't large. With the thick roots of these Blue Silver Grass main bodies, it could cover at most three plants, but after ten seconds, Xu Kun heard a total of seven notification sounds in his ear!

[Ding, you have killed a Blue Silver Grass, experience +0.4%!]
[Ding...]

A total of seven sounds. After Xu Kun confirmed, he looked up and saw that the four Blue Silver Grasses closest to the area covered by the fire rain had also withered and decayed at the same time.

Xu Kun stroked his chin and guessed, "The textbook says that the Blue Silver Grass has a vast root system. The roots of the surrounding Blue Silver Grasses should also be entrenched within the area covered by Wildfire, so even if the main body isn't burned, it can be killed by destroying the root system!"

Thinking this way, the efficiency of solving the Blue Silver Grass blocking his path could be greatly improved!

The cooldown time for

[Wildfire]

is 5 minutes. During this five-minute gap, Xu Kun wasn't idle. He used

[Explosive Fireball]

, which had a cooldown of only five seconds, to perform single-target kills!

Watching the fireball explode on the Blue Silver Grass main stalk, Xu Kun grinned and continued with single-target explosions!

But after releasing 9 consecutive

[Explosive Fireballs]

, Xu Kun was horrified to find that his stamina was running out!

"Damn, I'm out of mana!"

Since entering the Haotian Pagoda, Xu Kun had never worried about his mana. Skills were always auxiliary. Against those low-level monsters, he always relied on his own high attack power + the splash damage effect of the Flame Spirit Sword to kill monsters most quickly. In addition, the clearing ability of

[Wrath of the Fire Dragon]

was unique!

He rummaged through the materials he had collected, but found nothing that could restore mana!

He quickly retreated a few steps, waited 5 seconds to enter an out-of-combat state, and, according to what the textbook taught, Xu Kun sat cross-legged and began to meditate to restore his stamina.

Xu Kun's current Concentration is 40. After exiting combat, he can restore 8 points of stamina per second. Sitting cross-legged doubles that, which is 16/S. With a total of 700 stamina points, it would take less than 44 seconds to completely recover!

But during this period, he couldn't engage in any combat. Once he attacked or was attacked, he would enter a combat state, and the out-of-combat time was 5 seconds!

44 seconds passed quickly, and the cooldown for

[Wildfire]

was still a long way off. Xu Kun continued to use

[Explosive Fireball]

to snipe targets!

After 14 Explosive Fireballs, Xu Kun's mana was exhausted again. He retreated again to exit combat, recover mana, and fight again!

Repeatedly cycling through mana recovery, after three rounds of mana replenishment, he saw that Wildfire's cooldown was about to end!

He released 12 Explosive Fireballs, plus one Wildfire, and killed another 18 Blue Silver Grasses!

Adding the 7 Blue Silver Grasses killed by Wildfire at the beginning, Xu Kun had killed a total of 76 Blue Silver Grasses when he exited combat again to meditate and recover mana.

He gained a total of 30.4% experience, bringing his experience pool to 67.4%!

Under such high-intensity use of skills, exiting combat to meditate and recover mana, Xu Kun was also exhausted!

"Damn, killing monsters like this is too much effort!"

Although the Blue Silver Grass didn't resist, Xu Kun solved more than 1/3 of the Blue Silver Grasses in just five minutes, but after getting used to a Taotie feast, this killing efficiency was really uncomfortable for Xu Kun. He was even getting tired of raising his hand to lock onto targets!

"Wrath of the Fire Dragon isn't ready yet, is there any way to solve this once and for all?"

While meditating, Xu Kun pondered.

After thinking hard, he really came up with a crooked idea.

His mana was full again, Xu Kun patted his butt and stood up. He didn't use skills immediately, but instead took something out of his backpack.

[Viper Snake Gland]
Grade: E
Introduction: The source of poison for Grade E Viper Snakes, can be used to make poison or snake antivenom!
Function: One drop can poison species below Grade E, inflicting 50 points of poison damage per second, duration: 1 hour!

"Is this thing useful?" Xu Kun gently held it, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

Watching the wildly dancing branchlets not far away, Xu Kun tentatively threw the [Viper Snake Gland] out. Before it even landed, the branchlets, as if waiting for a rabbit to run into a snare, transformed into tentacle monsters, tightly wrapping the small snake gland, and then... crushing it!

With a muffled poof, Xu Kun saw the branchlets tremble. Then, the originally emerald green stems and leaves began to turn black in a very short time, and the leaves that had first come into contact with the snake gland withered instantly...

But that wasn't the end of it. The branchlets continued to wither and decay, and the tubes in the center, which were used to transport nutrients, became channels for transporting snake venom. This was originally how the Blue Silver Grass devoured the life force of its prey!

The Blue Silver Grass main body, which didn't have high intelligence, didn't care about the condition of the branchlets. As long as there was an energy supply, it would absorb it!

The originally overwhelming branchlets turned into powder in a very short time, scattered in the air, making Xu Kun's vision much clearer!

Xu Kun didn't let his hands rest, releasing Explosive Fireballs towards the Blue Silver Grass on both sides further away, but his eyes were fixed on the Blue Silver Grass main bodies closest to him!

The Blue Silver Grass main body had nearly 900 health points. If it was at full health, the [Viper Snake Gland]'s 50/S damage would take 18 seconds!

But the Blue Silver Grass main bodies that had absorbed the snake venom must have split, and their health would definitely not be at full value!

While releasing skills, Xu Kun silently counted.

"7...8...9...10...12!"

When he counted to 12, Xu Kun heard the first notification sound.

Ding, you killed a Blue Silver Grass, experience +0.4%!

Immediately afterwards, dense notification sounds rose and fell, announcing the kills!

Xu Kun stopped his movements and carefully counted the number of notification sounds. Within a short 4 seconds, Xu Kun was surprised to see the 13 notifications he had just received. This proved that the [Viper Snake Gland] had killed a full 13 Blue Silver Grasses. Adding the 2 he had just killed, the entire Blue Silver Grass group had been reduced by 91!

"So convenient!" Xu Kun was overjoyed, and immediately took out a few more snake glands, striding forward!

The intelligence of the Blue Silver Grass was not as high as imagined. Even though Xu Kun had poisoned 13 Blue Silver Grass main bodies, when Xu Kun stepped into their territory, rustling sounds still came from the ground!

This time Xu Kun was prepared. The first moment he saw the branchlets on the ground, he threw out a [Viper Snake Gland]!

The Blue Silver Grass branchlets pounced like hungry dogs, forming large clumps of grass, scrambling to absorb the energy in the venom gland...

Not a single Blue Silver Grass branchlet would even approach Xu Kun himself, coming fiercely. As long as Xu Kun threw out a venom gland, these branchlets were like little dogs that had received bones as rewards from their master, obediently not disturbing their master's work!

Xu Kun continued to feed them, and it was visible to the naked eye that large patches of Blue Silver Grass main bodies withered, decayed, and fell to dust!

On average, one venom gland could poison about 10 Blue Silver Grass main bodies.

A dozen seconds after Xu Kun threw out the seventh venom gland, he completed the kill of 158 Blue Silver Grasses, and his own level increased to level 6!

Ding, you killed 158 Blue Silver Grasses, gained 63% experience, level increased to level 6, current experience pool level 6 0%!

Ding, the God of Strength's mercy...

...

Ding, your novice trial completion +6%, current: 36%!

Ding, congratulations on completing the kill of 100 F-grade race monsters Blue Silver Grass, [Myriad Races Bestiary] takes effect, congratulations on obtaining the F-grade skill [Blue Silver Entanglement]!

Blue Silver Entanglement

Grade: F-grade single target control skill

Effect: Urges the Blue Silver Grass around the target to entangle and bind it. The control time depends on when the number of Blue Silver Grass is destroyed.

Energy consumption: 20/plant

Controllable number of Blue Silver Grass: 5

Cooldown time: 10S

"This crappy skill, I can't even play without Blue Silver Grass?" Xu Kun's eyes widened.

Just as the Blue Silver Grass poisoned by the [Viper Snake Gland] were all dead, the remaining dozens of Blue Silver Grasses were still tirelessly launching attacks at him.

Xu Kun casually made a move, controlling the 5 Blue Silver Grasses closest to each other to entangle another one. Watching them entangle each other unwilling to let go, Xu Kun used an Explosive Fireball, and a single target skill was actually completed by him as a group attack!

6 Blue Silver Grasses that were reluctant to part were burned to ashes at the same time!

Then he threw 4 [Viper Snake Glands] in four directions. Because the number of Blue Silver Grasses was already much smaller, these 4 snake glands only killed 28 Blue Silver Grasses in total!

Looking at the remaining lone Blue Silver Grasses, Xu Kun wasn't polite, Charge + Quick Strike + Explosive Fireball, and finally finished off with a Wildfire, burning the last 4 Blue Silver Grasses. The entire plain was already a mess, and no more Blue Silver Grass could covet Xu Kun!

Ding, you killed 42 Blue Silver Grasses, gained 2.1% experience, current experience pool level 6 2.1%!

Xu Kun scratched his head. After exhausting all his strength, he finally uprooted these damn grasses. With the restrictions of the Haotian Pagoda rules, these Blue Silver Grasses, which reproduced extremely quickly, only had a population of 200 on this large plain!

If there were no restrictions, Xu Kun had no doubt that the entire Mist Island would become the world of Blue Silver Grass!

In order to quickly kill these Blue Silver Grasses, he also wasted 11 of his [Viper Snake Glands]. The experience gained was barely enough for him to reach level 6!

Habitually touching the corpses of the Blue Silver Grass main bodies that had fallen to the ground.

Ding, you picked up F-grade material - Blue Silver Spores *80, Blessing of the Son of Fortune takes effect, upgraded to E-grade material - Blue Silver Parasite!

Blue Silver Parasite

Grade: E-grade

Introduction: An upgraded version of the Blue Silver Spores, after absorbing nutrients, it will quickly grow into an F-grade Blue Silver Grass with self-awareness.

Function: After absorbing enough energy, it can take root and sprout within 5S!

"What the hell is this!"

Xu Kun almost threw away this handful of Tang... ahem, seeds!

Blue Silver Grass has a very strong reproductive ability. When it reaches maturity, a simple shake will release tens of thousands of F-grade spores to scatter in the wind. Spring goes and autumn comes, just like normal plants, after going through a growth cycle, they will become Blue Silver Grass like the F-grade monsters Xu Kun just killed!

But before it fully matures, Blue Silver Grass is just a pile of weeds, just like humans who haven't awakened their talents, weak and worthless!

But the evolved Blue Silver Spores that Xu Kun collected at this time, which are the Blue Silver Parasites, only need enough power to grow into F-grade racial creatures within a short 5 seconds!

This is no different from experts cultivating cold-resistant mosquitoes to fill the void of no mosquitoes in winter!

Once Xu Kun takes this handful of Blue Silver Parasites out of the Haotian Pagoda and is discovered by someone with ulterior motives, they will definitely tear him into eight pieces!

Because once this kind of Blue Silver Parasite becomes rampant, the already difficult-to-manage Blue Silver Grass will become even more rampant and disastrous. It matures in 5 seconds... it is very likely that a Blue Silver Grass habitat has just been resolved, and the parasite stimulated by energy will directly mature...

In this way, the Blue Silver Grass can really never be killed or burned out!

"This thing can't be kept, I've overturned!"

Xu Kun was about to throw away this handful of Blue Silver Parasites when he suddenly thought of something.

"That's not right, this parasite grows so fast... If I sprinkle a handful of parasites on the enemy during a battle and wait 5 seconds, can't I use the skill [Blue Silver Entanglement]?"

Xu Kun's eyes lit up, and the originally useless [Blue Silver Entanglement] skill seemed to have a use again!

A useless skill, a harmful material, the sum of two wastes, seems to have a miraculous effect!

After hesitating again and again, Xu Kun still put away the Blue Silver Parasites.

This thing can't be sold, I'll just use it to throw at enemies, as long as I kill the parasitized Blue Silver Grass every time, it's done!

Thinking of the beneficial side of the Blue Silver Parasite to him, Xu Kun did not hesitate to scavenge the Blue Silver Grass wreckage on the plain!

The number of parasites obtained fluctuated, with the most being 150 grains per plant and the least being only 30 grains.

After touching 200 Blue Silver Grass plants, Xu Kun collected more than 16,000 seeds at once. Fortunately, the base number of these seeds is different from other materials. 200 grains only occupy one space in the backpack. It took eighty-odd spaces for Xu Kun to collect all the seeds!

Stroking his chin, Xu Kun said cheaply, "In the future, I can also find a way to provide these seeds to the Human Race high-level, let them see which race is not dealing with the Human Race, and spread these seeds to the territory of that race. In a few years, it is estimated that this race will be overwhelmed by the rapidly growing Blue Silver Grass!"
