365: Chapter 365 Eliminate the Weeds at the Root

Everyone looked at the spirit grass in their hands, speechless for a time.

They had been stationed here for a long time; although the supplies from the rear were sufficient, they were all ordinary resources.

Rare pills of this level were something they wouldn't even dare to dream of.

But this young man had brought out so many the moment he arrived—

"This—this is too precious!"

Wang Feng wanted to decline.

"Take them."

Chen Yi said seriously, "Compared to your contributions here, these spirit grasses are not worth mentioning."

Hearing these words, the atmosphere inside the fortress instantly became lively.

"Brother Chen Yi, thank you so much!"

"With these spirit grasses, our strength can improve quite a bit!"

"As expected of the Beast Tamer who discovered the truth in the Antarctica Secret Realm, his generosity is truly lavish!"

In an instant, the members of the garrison team stepped forward one after another to strike up a conversation, and Chen Yi completely integrated into the circle.

However, they had only chatted for a few moments when a communication ringtone suddenly echoed within the fortress.

Wang Feng went to answer it, and before he had said more than a few words, they heard him shout, "How is that possible?"

His voice was filled with shock.

Everyone looked at each other.

By the time Wang Feng came out to explain the situation, everyone's brows were tightly furrowed.

"I just received orders from headquarters."

Wang Feng said with a solemn expression, "In three hours, which is midnight on the Plane Battlefield clock, there is an emergency mission that requires the cooperation of all Beast Tamers in the Dragon Kingdom War Zone!"

"Operation Code—Cutting the Weeds and Removing the Roots!"

"In the Sea of Deathly Sand, three hundred kilometers from here, a large number of demonic beasts called Sand Locusts are entrenched! Their levels are generally between Rank 6 and Rank 7, so they aren't hard for us to kill!"

"But the problem is—just like the name and the truth Brother Chen Yi announced, these things are reincarnated forms of locusts! And the number of locusts—there's no need to explain, right?"

Hearing this, everyone nodded, their expressions looking very grim.

Locusts; just the name alone implied a terrifying quantity.

Even if their individual strength wasn't high, enough ants can still bite an elephant to death!

For several years, the Beast Tamers at nearby outposts had been fighting the Sand Locusts, but they had never been able to completely wipe them out.

"The power magnetic field of the Sea of Deathly Sand is very special; it easily attracts and condenses the souls of locust-type creatures, eventually forming demonic beasts."

"And the Sea of Deathly Sand is essentially a secret realm that has not fully manifested!"

"According to the intelligence Brother Chen Yi brought back and the research of the Dragon Kingdom's high-level officials, as long as the secret realm core is destroyed, the Sea of Deathly Sand will completely disappear! At that time, the number of Sand Locusts will decrease significantly, or even vanish entirely!"

"The goal of this mission is to go deep into the Sea of Deathly Sand, destroy those condensing Sand Locust eggs, and find the secret realm core to destroy it!"

"Of course, the Sand Locust side also has high-ranking Demon Emperors! However, these will be pinned down by the Dragon Kingdom's main forces! We will spread out and infiltrate the Sea of Deathly Sand separately to carry out the destruction mission!"

After hearing this, Chen Yi and his group nodded.

Although it differed slightly from the original plan, this was an all-out offensive mission ordered by the higher-ups after all.

As Dragon Kingdom Beast Tamers, they definitely had to participate.

"What do you say, Senior?"

Chen Yi asked, "Is there anything you need us to do?"

Wang Feng thought for a moment: "You should come along too! One more person means more strength! But stay close to us and don't wander off!"

"Understood!"

"There's still time, let's eat first. We set off in two hours!"

Just as Chen Yi was accepting the mission.

Demon Abyss Cult Headquarters.

Inside an exquisite stone pavilion, two beautiful young girls were playing a game of chess.

The chessboard was made of white jade, and the pieces were polished from obsidian and moonstone; one could tell at a glance they were peerless treasures!

Emilia placed a black piece and asked with a serious face, "Liuli, are you serious?"

Hua Liuli held a white piece and gently placed it down: "Is there a problem? If I let him come into contact with the formation core, he will divide my core power and become my second array eye!"

"This counts as having two strings to my bow! It would naturally be best if Black Rose can control him, but if she can't, once he becomes a array eye, he will have no choice but to ally with us."

"May I ask what the problem is?"

Emilia sighed and stopped talking, though her heart was full of helplessness.

She could only say that Hua Liuli had truly lived these thousands of years in vain.

Black Rose had clearly already defected, yet she was still foolishly sending intelligence; it was truly exhausting.

Emilia had been collecting information on Chen Yi for the past few months, and the more she collected, the more interested she became in this person.

If it weren't for Hua Liuli explicitly stating that Chen Yi was the one she had chosen.

Emilia would have long ago directly kidnapped Chen Yi to be her blood slave.

What made her even more speechless was the result.

When she woke up this morning, she heard a servant report the temporary decision Hua Liuli had made.

This move almost made Emilia's lungs explode with anger.

Aside from the word 'heaven-defying,' she could no longer think of any adjectives to describe Hua Liuli.

Did she really trust the Demon Emperor she created that much?

If it weren't for her physical condition requiring frequent deep sleep, she would never have let Hua Liuli hold power.

With this level of IQ, she didn't know if the Demon Abyss Cult had won the lottery to have survived until now.

But there was no point in thinking so much now.

Emilia definitely could not let Chen Yi become a array eye.

What she wanted was a complete array eye, not a divided one!

"Clack—"

The black piece fell, and Hua Liuli was checkmated.

"You're still as good as ever at chess."

Hua Liuli sighed, seemingly unwilling to admit defeat.

"Come find me again after you've practiced for a few more years."

Emilia stood up, "I'm sleepy, I'm going back."

With that, her figure flashed and she disappeared from the spot.

Hua Liuli looked at the spot where Emilia had vanished, her gaze gradually becoming profound.

After a moment, she said softly, "Come out."

Shadow Brake and Bone Erosion emerged from the shadows, kneeling on one knee: "My Queen."

"Implement the plan."

Hua Liuli said slowly, "Time is almost running out. No matter what, we must get Chen Yi onto our united front."

"Yes!"

The two women took their orders and withdrew.

In the stone pavilion, only Hua Liuli remained alone.

She picked up a white piece, twirling it between her fingertips, and muttered to herself, "Old woman, I hope you don't make an enemy of me—"

A complex light flashed in her crimson eyes.

Plane Battlefield time, midnight.

The Sea of Deathly Sand showed another face in the night.

During the day, this was an endless expanse of yellow sand, but at night, it turned into an eerie place shimmering with a faint blue light.

Glowing energy streams flowed between the grains of sand, like underground blood vessels pulsing, illuminating the entire desert like a bar counter under a spotlight!

Everyone wore special monitoring glasses, which displayed a magic power distribution map of the surrounding environment on the lenses.

Red indicated high magic power reaction zones, blue indicated relatively safe zones, and yellow indicated dense traces of magic power.

In the nighttime environment, it was also very easy to find the locations of the locust eggs.
