Chapter 289: Thorny Jungle

Thus, a bizarre scene unfolded on the battlefield.

Although Yang Fan's army was advancing slowly, they suffered almost no significant casualties.

Instead, it was the Vajra King Monkey legions that kept falling, with vast piles of corpses accumulating in the forest.

Meanwhile, at the rear of the battlefield, Yang Er led the exotic collectors in close pursuit.

While advancing, they skillfully packed up the spoils of war.

Those Vajra King Monkey corpses were quickly transported away the moment they fell.

The entire process was as smooth as flowing water, as if it had been rehearsed countless times.

"My God, those aliens are too strong. What should we do?"

At the divine kingdom core, a Vajra King Monkey at the Foundation Establishment Realm knelt on the ground, his face full of anxiety.

Qi Tian swept his gaze across the battlefield and slowly spoke after a moment.

"The next area is the Thorny Jungle. Those are special Spirit Plants I personally planted millions of years ago."

"After growing for countless years, they have long since become the most powerful natural defense line of the divine kingdom."

"Transmit my Divine Oracle: all believers must retreat immediately. Do not make any unnecessary sacrifices."

"Lure them into the Thorny Jungle."

"Yes, My God!"

Meanwhile, on the other side of the divine kingdom.

Six massive Flesh Calamity Mother Nests were slowly moving.

Each one was like a living mountain of flesh, constantly writhing and emitting a nauseating, putrid aura.

Whenever a Vajra King Monkey appeared, several Zombie Kings would leap out from the Flesh Calamity Mother Nests.

They never fought head-on; instead, they tried every possible method to inflict wounds.

Scratches, bites, tearing flesh.

Then, they would deliberately let the opponent escape.

It was as if they didn't care about their prey running away at all.

Yang Eleven stood atop a Flesh Calamity Mother Nest, watching the Vajra King Monkeys fleeing in disarray, the corners of his mouth slowly curling up.

"Run…"

"The further you run, the better."

"It would be best if you ran through the entire divine kingdom."

"The concentration of the virus within the Zombie Kings is not something that ordinary zombies can compare to."

"The water you drink and the places you relieve yourselves will all become new sources of infection."

A Zombie King below finally couldn't help but ask:

"General, this efficiency is too low."

"Why don't you let us head to the main battlefield?"

"We might not necessarily lose to those Cultivation believers."

Hearing this, Yang Eleven shot him a cold glance.

"Fool, it is precisely because the enemy's main force is being held back."

"That we can spread the virus without restraint."

"If their God were to discover our existence prematurely, they would surely spare no cost to seal off the infection sources."

"We don't want just one point of infection; we want it to blossom everywhere."

"The more infection points there are, the harder it will be for them to control."

"By the time they realize it, the entire divine kingdom will already be terminally ill."

"Yes, General!"

The many Zombie Kings bowed their heads in unison.

In fact, for these thousands of years, Yang Eleven had been living with them.

Teaching them Formations, guiding their Cultivation, creating training plans, and helping them grow step by step.

Although he was essentially an Intelligent Life.

This unreserved dedication had long since won the recognition and respect of all the Zombie Kings.

After contemplating for a moment, Yang Eleven suddenly nodded.

"However, what you said also makes sense."

"The efficiency is indeed a bit low."

The next moment, a new order spread throughout the six Flesh Calamity Mother Nests.

"Pass down the order: all troops are to split into six paths."

"There is only one mission: spread the virus."

"Let them go immediately after biting them."

"If you encounter a river, cut off a piece of flesh and throw it in."

"If you encounter a lake, go inside and soak for a round before coming out."

"If you encounter a main road, get down and spit a few more times."

"If you see a group of monkeys, remember to protect them well."

"Don't kill them; just scatter them. Every monkey must carry some wounds."

Once this was said, the eyes of the many Zombie Kings immediately lit up.

"Understood!"

Soon, the six Flesh Calamity Mother Nests began to disperse and act.

Like six sources of plague spreading, they constantly expanded in all directions of the divine kingdom.

Yang Eleven watched the fleeing Vajra King Monkeys in the distance, his eyes growing increasingly excited.

"Oh, God of the aliens… You must discover this a little later."

"That way, the first merit of this battle will be mine."

Meanwhile, Yang Fan was sitting in his own divine kingdom, leisurely watching the battle situation on the front lines.

Through the perspective of his believers, the entire battlefield was like a war movie playing in real-time.

Beside him, Ling Xuzi knelt on one knee, carefully pouring tea for Yang Fan.

"Master, the tea temperature is just right."

"Hmm."

Yang Fan took the teacup and took a light sip, then said indifferently:

"After this battle ends, I will bestow upon you a divine kingdom core."

"To help you achieve a Breakthrough to Godhood as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xuzi trembled all over and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Master, absolutely not! This subordinate did not achieve any great merit in this investigation."

"There are very few traps inside this Vajra King Monkey divine kingdom; its strength stems entirely from its own foundation."

"The intelligence brought back by the Void Spirit Race is limited."

Yang Fan waved his hand.

"It's fine. I am cultivating you for the future."

"Your value has already been demonstrated."

"When I achieve a Breakthrough to Godhood, the enemies I face will also be Gods."

"At that time, I will still need a stronger you."

Hearing this, Ling Xuzi was so moved that her tail trembled slightly.

"This subordinate will surely give her all."

"And serve until death!"

Inside the Alien God-Kingdom, the frontline army suddenly stopped.

A Void Spirit Race believer quickly appeared and knelt on one knee.

"General! An abnormal area has been discovered ahead!"

"One of my clansmen attempted to traverse the dense forest."

"As soon as they appeared, countless thorns attacked as if they had come to life."

"After their body was pierced, in just a few breaths, their flesh began to rot, eventually turning into a puddle of pus."

"Those plants are highly toxic!"

After hearing the report, Marshall Yang Si snapped his fingers lightly.

A large number of detection drones immediately took to the air.

A moment later, complete data was transmitted back.

Marshall Yang Si glanced at it, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Thorny Jungle, so that's it."

"I didn't expect it to have been cultivated to such a large scale."

Subsequently, he immediately sent an application to the rear.

"Sir, I request the deployment of ten mechanical battle puppets and two Great Void Warships."

Almost instantly, Yang Da's voice came through.

"Granted."

After receiving authorization, the ground began to shake violently.

Rumble—

Ten mechanical battle puppets, standing a thousand zhang tall, slowly descended onto the battlefield.

Their steel bodies blotted out the sky.

Every step they took caused the ground to tremble violently.

Meanwhile, two Great Void Warships, each several thousand meters long, slowly descended from the clouds.

Hovering on both sides of the army.

Countless Intelligent Life forms turned into streams of light and surged into them madly.

The next moment, the mechanical battle puppets took the first step.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The massive steel feet stepped directly into the Thorny Jungle, crushing countless poisonous vines and thorns into fragments along the way.

The two Great Void Warships also set off.

"Change Formation!"

"All Intelligent Life move to the very front, the rest of the believers advance in the center to avoid being injured by the vegetation here!"

Marshall Yang Si ordered in a deep voice.

Intelligent Life forms were, by nature, Mechanical bodies.

Let alone highly toxic substances, even ordinary corrosive forces could hardly affect them.

Using them to clear the path now was most appropriate.

"Yang Yi, prepare one hundred thousand Detoxification Pills in advance and send them to the front line."

"The army is too large; we must prevent high-level believers from being accidentally injured."

"Understood, the alchemy tower has already started preparing the stock." In the Heavenly Court, Yang Yi responded immediately.
