[ The Litang's Supremely Fierce Tiger ] scratched his head:
"But how can we mark and track them from such a distance?"
[ Good Times Don't Last ], who had been silent all along, suddenly had an idea. He turned over and rummaged through the bag on the Hoofed Beast's body for a long time before finally pulling out a seed.
"Which seed is this again?"
[ The Litang's Supremely Fierce Tiger ] asked.
"It's Fluorescent Velvet Grass."
[ Good Times Don't Last ] Explanation:
"This thing can take root in flesh and blood and continue to glow for seventy hours. Isn't it specifically designed for marking enemies?"
"But we all have night vision, this thing..."
[ Shit Appraisal Master ] suddenly realized something halfway through his speech: players do have night vision, but the problem is that the militia NPCs on guard duty at the edge of the territory don't have that ability.
If a horde of over a hundred Blood Corpse fails to be marked due to the players' negligence, then when they sneak into the Baron's territory or White Wax Town under the cover of night, the militia on guard will likely be in grave danger.
"I see, so that's how it is... But there's no wind or rain right now, how can we plant the seeds on the monsters?"
The four fell into thought. It was already afternoon, and if they continued to waste time, these Blood Corpse might enter the baron's territory that night...
After some planning in a secluded corner, the four of them finally came up with a fairly complete plan.
[ Great Wei Boxing Champion ] looked at the time on the panel:
"It's 2 PM now. I'm in one group with [ Litang's Supremely Fierce Tiger ], and you two are in another group. Proceed according to plan. Meet here in an hour."
OK.
[ Shit Appraisal Master ] sorted through the seeds and seedlings in the Hoofed Beast's satchel, and soon he and [ Good Times Don't Last ] led the Hoofed Beast back the way they came.
The two dug a small hole in the ground with tools, stuffed the forearm-length Resin-Dropping Pine seedling into it, and then dug another hole nearby that was not shaded from the sun, and planted a Blood-Drinking Thornbush.
This is part of the tactics initially discussed by the four. After the Resin-Dropping Pine grows, it will form a sticky area nearby, and the Blood Corpse stuck in it can just satisfy the Blood-Drinking Thornbush's need for flesh and blood nutrients. This plant thirsts for flesh and blood while its surface is covered with sharp thorns. As long as a Blood Corpse or some animal falls into the trap, it will start a self-circulation.
The combination of the two resulted in a smooth and seamless combo, but they hadn't yet found a suitable position for the Iron Birch and the Oil Vine.
However, these two Aberration plants are clearly more suited to being inserted into the body for symbiotic use rather than being placed on the ground as some kind of facility. I wonder if there are any results from the Greenhouse of [ Pond Fish and Old Abyss ] and [ Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ]. These two have been developing plants for almost two days, but I haven't heard any new news yet.
The two of them randomly dug these combination traps in the sparse woodland, feeling like sappers responsible for laying mines on a battlefield...
Meanwhile, on the other side, [ Litang's Supremely Fierce Tiger ] was truly regretting it. He regretted not calling one of [ Ever-Changing Master Ye ] or [ Epic-Level Giant ] to join the team.
Those two never let go of their fishing rods, and it's common knowledge that they can catch anything except big fish.
If some angler had actually joined their group with a fishing rod, the task of fishing—no, fishing for Blood Corpse— wouldn't have fallen to him.
[ Litang's Supremely Fierce Tiger ] is now bracing himself and slowly approaching the nearest Blood Corpse.
This Blood Corpse was hiding in the shade of a tree, several meters away from the other Blood Corpse. If it weren't for the passage of time and the change in the direction of the sunlight causing it to make slight adjustments to its body, it would almost look like a corpse lying in the shade of a large tree.
It was precisely because they were far from their companions that the two of them finally set their sights on this Blood Corpse.
[ Litang's Supremely Fierce Tiger ] steadied himself, and with his left hand transformed into a fruit knife, he made a small cut on the middle finger of his right hand.
He then flicked his right middle finger forcefully towards the Blood Corpse, and a few drops of blood splattered out, landing a few meters away from the Blood Corpse.
A few seconds later, the Blood Corpse's nose suddenly twitched, and its red and white eyes opened, looking around listlessly.
He gradually woke up, and began to turn his head while rubbing his nose.
Seeing this, [ Litang's Supremely Fierce Tiger ] couldn't help but get excited—brothers, using yourselves as bait really works!
However, before he could even get excited for two seconds, he saw the Blood Corpse suddenly shrink back the moment it poked its head out of the shade of the tree.
That won't do; if we wait until it's almost dark to start fishing, we'll run out of time.
[ Litang's Supremely Fierce Tiger ] thought about it and observed for a while, and felt that the Blood Corpse just hated the sunlight rather than actually being burned.
well.
He sighed inwardly. Why weren't the fish taking the bait?
It's because the baiting wasn't done aggressively enough!
He's going to keep fishing!
The fruit knife cut an even larger wound this time, but because it felt no pain, it didn't affect [ Litang's Supremely Fierce Tiger ]'s behavior at all. It carefully controlled the amount of bleeding, trying to attract this lone Blood Corpse while preventing more Blood Corpse nearby from noticing it.
But he knew the Blood Corpse had already sensed something was wrong; as the stench of blood spread through the air, many of Blood Corpse began to sniffle.
However, [ Litang's Supremely Fierce Tiger ] firmly believes that the Blood Corpse closest to it will still be the first to be attracted.
Finally, after suffering massive physical bleeding, the Blood Corpse took the bait.
When the thirst for blood overcame the fear of sunlight, the Blood Corpse finally crawled out from behind the tree on all fours.
Just as it lay on the ground licking the blood that had spilled onto the grass, the [ Litang's Supremely Fierce Tiger ] pounced from the other side and mounted its back.
Just as the Blood Corpse was about to roar after being suddenly pinned down, a wooden plug, which had been prepared in advance, was shoved into its mouth.
[ Litang's Supremely Fierce Tiger ] sat on the Blood Corpse, his feet stepping on the Blood Corpse's arms, his left hand pressing down on the back of the Blood Corpse's neck, and his right hand suddenly thrusting out a knife, cutting a gash in the other's neck.
He quickly stuffed the seeds of the Fluorescent Velvet Grass into the wound, patted them twice to make sure they were stable, then jumped and rolled into a low spot nearby. After confirming that the other Blood Corpse had not been disturbed, he quickly retreated.
The Blood Corpse, which had been stabbed for no reason, felt a little wronged, but it also couldn't understand what had happened.
After realizing that the target who attacked him had run far away, he bent down and licked the blood off the grass, then quickly climbed back into his own shady spot.
The Blood Corpse leaned against the tree trunk with its eyes slightly closed, waiting for night to Descent and for its leader to call. From the wound on the back of its neck, a root had quietly sprouted from a seed of Fluorescent Velvet Grass, stained with blood.
