Chapter 340: 340

"What exactly did you do?"

Watching the largest collection of red dots on the sandboard shrink rapidly, Agunas’ mirage anxiously looked towards Feng Yuan, casually plucked a blade of grass, and tried to tease Xiao Ji, who had just returned from patrol. Xiao Ji completely ignored the grass swaying in front of him, and after rubbing Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan said discontentedly,

"Really not well-behaved, not even letting me have a little fun."

"Why are the mutant beasts diminishing so rapidly? What exactly did you do?"

"I didn’t do anything. Maybe those mutant beasts were just unlucky enough to run into Nagna who happened to be passing by."

"You! At this time, they wouldn’t be at this location!"

"But there’s no precise record of their whereabouts, right?"

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Agunas fell silent. On the side, Mo Ling listened with confusion, vaguely sensing she was onto something, but understanding too little to deduce the specifics.

In the area with the largest swarm within the beast tide, a multitude of refugees kneeled and gave thanks ahead, continuously muttering words of gratitude, as Nagna in a black sacrificial robe floated before them. Her pitch-black eyes emotionlessly stared at the ever-approaching mutant beasts, while dark vines crept across the ground in front of her, entangling and dulling the bright red eyes of the mutants before they ultimately fell amongst the vines.

Black vines grew from the corpses of the mutant beasts, and deep black roses bloomed atop each one. The continuously flourishing black roses gradually turned the plains before Nagna into a sea of flowers.

An elderly man nearby, who knew a bit about Nagna, watched the incredibly unfamiliar figure with fear, terror, but also relief. At that moment, a flock of eagles with red eyes flew overhead. Nagna raised her hand slightly, and a black rose grew on each eagle. As the roses bloomed, the birds seemed to lose their strength and fell into the sea of roses.

A gust of wind passed, and the corpses of the mutant beasts turned to ash, dancing in the air before dispersing. Nagna emotionlessly watched the sea of roses before her, while at a distance, countless mutant beasts charged towards the sea of flowers one after another.

"Truly... I’m envious..."

Hu Weng led a group of soldiers who were battling mutant beasts that had detoured. One of the young soldiers enviously watched Guo Huai, noticing that with every thrust, Guo Huai’s spear hit a vital spot on a mutant beast, and with a fierce jab, the beast’s body was thrown to the ground.

Meanwhile, they had to continuously wrestle with the mutant beasts using their thunder-imbued spears. Guo Huai’s spear easily pierced through the mutants’ bodies, while their spears could barely scratch their fur. Had it not been for the power of thunder penetrating their hide, they may have had to give up.

After sending a red-eyed mutant wolf flying with a punch, Hu Weng yelled,

"What are you doing? Daring to daydream in the middle of a battle?"

Hearing Hu Weng’s angry shout, the soldiers swung their spears, attacking the mutant beasts.

The Kirin guardian of the land sternly faced the ever-arriving mutant beasts, releasing a Death Quicksand in front of itself, unable to resist the despised scent. The endlessly sinking quicksand seemed infinite, devouring every mutant beast that dared to step into it.

"This isn’t good. The corpses of these creatures will still pollute this world. Only by completely depriving them of their vitality can one truly annihilate the enemy."

A voice suddenly resounded next to the Kirin guardian. The guardian looked down to find Feng Yuan, who had appeared beside it at some unknown time. Hesitating, the Kirin guardian asked,

"A clone?"

"Close enough, just an incarnation."

As he spoke, Feng Yuan casually threw out a strand of pitch-black flame. Seeing the flame flickering in midair, the Kirin guardian said in surprise,

"Cang Ming Flame? Who exactly are you?!"

"Well... you’d better have Lorraine Tower explain that to you. Anyway, the bodies of the mutant beasts swallowed by your Death Quicksand should be completely burned with this, otherwise, it’d be quite troublesome."

Feng Yuan bowed to the Kirin guardian and then dissolved into specks of starlight and vanished.

"Lorraine Tower... So, it could really be visitors from a parallel world... However, those corpses are indeed troublesome."

The Guardian Kirin stamped its paw, and beneath the burning black flames, a pit of quicksand emerged. Unlike normal quicksand that flows inward, this pit seemed to exude quicksand outwards without any spilling over. Soon, a mutated beast’s corpse popped out of the sand pit, followed by more such corpses piling up until the first corpse touched the dark flames above.

Like oil meeting fire, the stacked corpses quickly ignited in the dark flames. The continuously rising corpses seemed to fuel the fire, which swiftly reduced the mutated beasts to ashes. As new corpses replaced the burnt ones, the flames continued to burn for a long time, extinguishing only after no more corpses replenished their number. Only the original flame Feng Yuan had thrown out was still quietly burning.

"You’ll have to throw those mutated beast corpses into this fire to dispose of them yourself."

"Why? Can’t you help?"

Having vented her frustrations, Yao Yin looked dissatisfied at Feng Yuan, who helplessly waved his hands and said,

"Your spells interfered with my spatial transfer, making it impossible to move those corpses over to me. You’ll have to deal with them by yourself."

"Of course, if you possess any spells like Life Deprivation, you could throw a few of those at the corpses and ensure that they are completely devoid of life force."

"Do you think I would have such malevolent spells?"

"There’s no good or evil in spells, but it doesn’t seem like you’re the type to know such spells anyway. So, just use this fire to clean up the corpses."

"Asshole!"

Seeing Feng Yuan dissipate into starlight, Yao Yin cursed loudly. Glancing at the dark flames, she turned to face the approaching mutated beasts and viciously threw her talismans at them. Countless bolts of lightning brutally struck the beasts, and when the lightning subsided, Yao Yin muttered, glancing at the charred corpses,

"This still can’t extinguish their life force? No wonder he made a special trip here."

As she spoke, Yao Yin released two puppets, which rapidly enlarged in mid-air and landed steadily on the ground, continuously gathering the mutated beast corpses she had killed and throwing them into the flame left by Feng Yuan.

"You’re doing..."

Watching the various wild beast corpses appear before Feng Yuan and turn to ash in the flames, Mo Ling was somewhat puzzled. Feng Yuan squatted on the ground with one hand supporting his head and the other using a long halberd to stir through the ashes in the black inferno. Xiao Ji, patrolling wearily, yawned while lying on Feng Yuan’s head. After a while, Feng Yuan said,

"These mutated beast corpses can only be completely destroyed by thoroughly stripping them of all life force. Otherwise, they’ll still cause environmental pollution. They don’t have the ability to do so; it’s up to me to take care of it."

"Stay away from the Cang Ming Flame; nobody can save you if you get burned by that fire."

Seeing Mo Ling wanting to get closer to the fire, Feng Yuan quickly stopped her. At this point, the battle had been going on for over two hours. The village’s defenders, having maintained high concentration for so long, were starting to struggle. Feng Yuan rubbed his stomach and said,

"Xiao Ji, are you hungry?"

Xiao Ji, laying on Feng Yuan’s head, let out a lazy yelp. Hearing Xiao Ji’s yelp, Feng Yuan chuckled and poked Xiao Ji on the head, saying,

"Everyone else is fighting, and here you are, comfortable."

"Forget it, I should call them back."

"No, there aren’t many mutated beasts left. It’s better to wait until everything is cleaned up before we eat."

Mo Ling pointed to the Sandboard Mirage in front of her. The red dots on the sandboard had become very sparse, the previously concentrated red dots had vanished, and the remaining few were disappearing quickly. Feng Yuan scratched his head and said,

"That works, too. They should come back on their own once everything is clean."
