Chapter 241 Round One, One Million Casualties
Zhu Chongjiu stood up, grinning maliciously, and said, "Let's kill some of the smaller ones first."
"Wait until things get chaotic, then find an opportunity to kill the big shots."
After saying this, Zhu Chongjiu slowly raised his hands and said, "Mist, come!"
"Hey, why is it foggy?"
The celestial soldiers and generals in the army looked at the slowly appearing mist before them and asked questions one by one.
Zhu Rong Tian Guang also discovered this situation.
Moments later, the thick fog enveloped the entire army.
The immortals flying in the air also noticed the mist rising from the dense forest below, which soon enveloped a large area of the forest.
Only some giant trees, over 10,000 meters tall, will show a section of their treetops in the fog.
After the fog enveloped everyone, Zhu Rongtianguang suddenly exclaimed in his heart, "This is bad!" and then shouted, "Everyone, quickly gather with the teammates who can sense the fog nearby!"
Those who can be gathered together, should all be gathered together.
He discovered that the rising mist at this moment would drastically reduce the sensitivity of his spiritual energy.
Previously, they could detect objects for hundreds of miles within this dense forest, but now they can only sense half that distance.
This is still because I have some cultivation level as a Celestial Lord.
Those celestial soldiers and generals should now be no different from ordinary mortals.
However, Zhu Rong Tian Guang's shout came a little too late.
When everyone heard his words, they were already deep in a fog so thick that they couldn't see their own fingers.
Fortunately, the fog can only block people's spiritual senses, but it cannot block sound.
Just as everyone was calling out to each other and moving closer together.
That originally stipulated 100-meter distance has now become their life-or-death line.
One after another, branches and vines that seemed to appear out of nowhere instantly entangled the lone celestial soldiers and generals, dragging them into the depths of the mist.
Some branches and vines are quite clever, knowing to use their own bodies to block the prey's mouth, but others seem less experienced.
After catching its prey, it only cares about using its mouthparts to pierce the prey's body and suck its flesh and blood, ignoring the prey's cries and screams.
If some high-level powerhouses, such as Immortal Kings, arrive in time near the source of the shouts, they may be able to save him.
After three or four minutes of screams echoing through the dense forest, Zhu Rong Tian Guang, who had been in a panic at first, finally calmed down.
He then shouted loudly, "All immortal lords who possess the laws of wind and fire, make your move!"
Blow away this fog, burn it dry!
As Zhu Rong Tian Guang finished speaking, a fierce wind arose and flames roared at the army's location in the dense forest.
To avoid accidentally harming their own people, only some wind-elemental law cultivators made the move.
Most of the fire elementals are burning down those man-eating plants.
A few minutes later, the thick fog finally dissipated.
The disheveled and exhausted celestial soldiers and generals huddled together in fear as they moved closer to those nearby.
Zhu Rong Tian Guang looked at everything before him, trembling with rage, and said, "Rest here for a moment and take stock of the casualties this time."
Before long, the casualties of the army came out.
In just a few minutes, the casualties of the army nearly made Zhu Rong Tianguang faint.
Nearly one million casualties.
The only good news is that the casualties were mostly the lowest-ranking immortal soldiers.
Finally, Zhu Rong Tian Guang reluctantly ordered, "Let those who are wounded, along with the immortal soldiers who can find the bodies, return to the main camp in the void."
At this time, all the immortal lords had gathered together.
One of the immortal lords frowned and said, "If this happens a few more times, our army will be wiped out."
Although the army was not the main force to capture that human, it was the main force to find him.
If the main army is gone, searching this vast Divine Tree Palace with only our Celestial Lord and tens of thousands of Celestial Kings will be like finding a needle in a haystack!
Just as this immortal lord finished speaking, before Zhu Rong Tian Guang could utter a sound, another immortal lord replied to him, saying, "Fellow immortal, you don't need to worry about this."
Based on the experience gained from this incident, if the same thing happens again, we can take immediate action and resolve the issue in no time.
The losses will also be greatly reduced.
"That's the gist of it, but if this fog appears frequently, it will be exhausting for us."
The main problem is that it will greatly reduce the army's marching speed!
Upon hearing the discussions among the immortal lords, Zhurong Tianguang interrupted them, saying, "Since the Divine Tree Immortal Palace treats our immortal race this way, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
After speaking, one of the immortal lords looked at Zhu Rong Tian Guang and asked questioningly, "Does Fellow Immortal Zhu Rong have a solution?"
"What's the solution?"
snort!
That's burning.
"I want to see what a fire can burn into this Divine Wood Palace!"
As soon as Zhurong Tianguang finished speaking angrily, several older immortal lords objected, saying, "There is a terrifying existence within this Divine Tree Immortal Palace, and no one has been able to touch it for so many years."
I advise my fellow immortal Zhurong to consider this matter more carefully.
Zhu Rong Tian Guang looked at the few immortal lords who were refuting him and replied, "What's there to be afraid of? If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up."
Besides, our ancestor only told us not to launch a fierce attack.
Setting fires isn't considered an attack, is it?
Moreover, at the very beginning, when more than three hundred of our immortal lords attacked this Divine Tree Immortal Palace at the same time, nothing happened to us, did it?
"If I can't capture that human ant and bring him back, not only will I be letting down my fallen comrades, but I'll also lose my life."
After saying this, Zhu Rong Tian Guang turned around and ordered, "Have all those who cultivate the fire element set fire in front."
Then have those who cultivate the wind element stand behind and let the wind blow on them.
Burn that human ant out.
Before their departure, the various patriarchs issued an order that Zhu Rong Tian Guang should be the leader and that everyone should follow his command.
So now, even if there are those who disagree with Zhu Rong Tian Guang's decision, there is nothing they can do.
Finally, after more than half an hour of reorganization, more than seventy immortal lords, leading several thousand immortal kings, began to simultaneously unleash fire magic towards the dense forest ahead.
The moment the magic was unleashed, flames filled the sky, and a wave of heat hit the nose.
The towering trees crackled and popped as they burned.
The trees that already possessed spirits began to spread their branches and vines wildly after being burned by the flames.
The higher-level plants have begun to move deeper into the dense forest, in the opposite direction of the flames.
Seeing this, Zhurong Tianguang, his face grim, continued to give the order: "Don't let them escape, Feng Qi!"
At the command, a group of people took over from the one releasing the flames and began to unleash their magic.
Gusts of wind, varying in size, blew towards the raging flames ahead.
The wind fueled the fire, and the fire fueled the wind, burning with tremendous force deep into the dense forest.
Zhu Chongjiu, who was tens of thousands of miles away, felt this scene. The burning trees were also crying out to him and asking for help.
Zhu Chongjiu stared intently in the direction of the army and said hatefully, "Zhurong Tianguang, you really dare to do this!"
"I can't extinguish a fire set by dozens of Immortal Lords and thousands of Immortal Kings. I'll have to ask the Wood Ancestor for help."
After saying that, Zhu Chongjiu used the authority given to him by Mu Zu to contact Mu Zu.
However, before Zhu Chongjiu could convey his consciousness, Mu Zu's voice appeared in his mind.
"This is your own doing, so you have to deal with it yourself."
"If the fire is not extinguished within half an hour, then I will deliver you to those people!"
