Lear was in a pretty good mood.
He had previously led a hunt for rotting orcs whose bodies were covered in bite marks.
During the post-war interrogation, the other party, as if trying to shift the blame, told him about the Queen of the Swamp Bees.
He was quite curious at the time: how could a few dozen rotting orcs dare to attack hundreds of thousands of swamp wasps?
After the intelligence system provided detailed information, he learned the reason and obtained a solution to the mud swarm wasps.
The rotten orcs' plan to use someone else to do their dirty work completely failed.
He wondered if, knowing the information he provided, it not only didn't harm him but might even make him stronger, and if that person would then turn into a ghost and fight him to the death.
Soon, Bain retrieved the last remaining dragon dung from the warehouse.
The journey of over a thousand kilometers was sustained entirely by the dragon's dung, and now less than two pounds remain.
Mixing earth dragon manure with black dragon broadleaf grass will greatly enhance the effect. He doesn't have earth dragon manure, but he has the superior dragon manure!
Lear looked at the large bags of Black Dragon Broadleaf Grass and told Bain to light some to test it out.
Bain had someone bring him flint and tinder.
Then he grabbed a handful of freshly picked grass, and with a few quick flicks of the flint, sparks flew everywhere, igniting the reeds and causing the flames to surge high.
Place a small amount of black dragon broadleaf grass on top.
Surprisingly, the black dragon broadleaf grass that had just been pulled up caught fire immediately.
However, the high moisture content resulted in incomplete combustion, releasing a large amount of thick smoke.
It was so small that it polluted the surrounding air, making it impossible to see anything up close.
Seeing this, Lear picked up a small piece of dry, tasteless dragon dung that looked like dried mud with great interest.
Stepping forward, I gently rubbed it, and the residue fell onto the burning black dragon broadleaf grass.
The next moment, even thicker smoke rose.
A faint dragon's might surged, spreading over an area of several hundred meters.
The working crowd felt a strange sense of dread, as if they were being watched by some ferocious beast.
He quickly turned his head to look in this direction.
Li Erneng could clearly feel that the energy contained in the thick smoke had become exceptionally abundant.
When dragon droppings combine with black dragon broadleaf grass, a strange reaction occurs.
While pondering, he waved for someone to bring over a swamp pheasant that had been caught a couple of days ago, killed it, and then soaked the dragon's dung in its blood.
Then invest it in.
But the effect was no different; on the contrary, the burning was reduced due to the blood, and the dragon's might dissipated considerably.
"Looks like we don't need to do anything else, we can go try the smoke now!"
Lear was in high spirits.
This reminded him of the happy times he spent as a child smoking out wasps at his grandmother's house.
A childhood without being stung by a wasp is incomplete.
His interest was piqued even more by the fantastical version of the smoked wasp.
The only difference is that before, failure would result in being stared at until your head swelled up like a pig's head, but now, it could be fatal.
Just in case, he instructed Bain to get all the Black Dragon Broadleaf Grass.
That area wasn't far from the territory, so it was dealt with quickly.
In the end, a total of 15 cloth bags were filled to the brim.
With preparations complete and a half-day break over, we gathered nine squads of Wetland Lizardmen, along with eight Bubble Beasts and three Swamp Banshees, and set off immediately.
After several battles, he found this configuration increasingly useful.
Swamp banshees can lure enemies, while wetland lizardmen warriors are responsible for frontal assaults.
The most versatile is the cutest Bubble Beast.
These little guys can fight head-on, ambush, imprison, and even carry cargo. They're practically all-purpose tools.
He had originally planned to have the Bubble Beasts assist with construction in his territory, but after several battles, he discovered that their bubbles were far too useful.
The more we use them, the more comfortable they become, so now we've simply let them accompany the troops.
The troops assembled and set off immediately.
The location of the Mud Wasps is not far from the city of Slight Dew, about an hour's drive away.
This road has already been cleared several times.
It was moving very fast.
At 2:30 p.m., Lear arrived at the location of the mud wasps again.
You can see the towering tree, seventy or eighty meters tall, rooted deep in the swamp, from hundreds of meters away.
The mud wasp built a giant nest using mud and sawdust, completely enclosing a tree canopy tens of meters wide.
It's like a small wasp city.
Countless giant mud wasps flapped their wings and flew about, their buzzing sound carrying over extremely long distances.
Their black and yellow striped patterns make them extremely eye-catching.
It has two pairs of thin wings on its back, with a wingspan of over 30 centimeters, and its body is about the size of a fist.
The sharp spikes at the tail were as sharp as steel needles, slightly curved, and reflected a cold glint.
Its compound eyes darted back and forth, reflecting everything around it, and its mouth was filled with tiny, densely packed teeth that could easily gnaw on bones.
From the outside, it looks like an enlarged, evil version of a wasp.
The most crucial factor is their quantity.
They were so numerous and layered that they were impossible to count.
The resulting Kuroshio Current blocked out all the light from the sky.
It's unimaginable what kind of massive impact a simultaneous attack by mud wasps would cause.
"Master, the upwind side is over there, I'll go light the smoke."
Haggs volunteered.
Lear glanced at the wetland lizardman hero and shook his head.
"Mud swamp wasps are no ordinary monsters; if they sense something is wrong, they can immediately flap their wings and leave."
Forcing it won't work, even with Black Dragon Broadleaf Grass.
"And who said anything about having someone set up smoke screens?"
"That"
Haggs was a little confused.
Lear smiled and looked at Bubble Beast.
"Bo Bo, each of you make two bubbles, compress the air, and then ignite the Black Dragon Broadleaf Grass and Dragon Dung inside."
"Wait until the smoke accumulates to a certain level, then maneuver the bubble close to the mud wasp's nest and detonate it!"
Haggs' eyes immediately lit up.
Is this even possible?!
Bobo was in high spirits, blowing bubbles with her companions.
Then, manipulating magic, he frantically compressed the air.
At the same time, put black dragon broadleaf grass and dragon dung into it.
The dragon droppings dispersed into 16 bubbles, after which the flint ignited the black dragon broadleaf grass.
Instantly, a huge plume of thick smoke filled the air.
Fill the bubbles directly.
If it's a regular bubble, it will extinguish in a short while.
However, once the air is compressed, it can burn for a very long time.
After waiting for about ten minutes, when the thick smoke from the burning reached its maximum, Lear waved his hand.
"You control the bubbles to fly below the wasp nest in the mud."
"Let the four bubbles burst immediately, filling the surrounding area with thick smoke."
"The other 12 bubbles will have an opening to continuously release smoke."
Bubble Beast immediately got to work.
After all the Black Dragon Broadleaf Grass was added, 16 bubbles flew silently close to the ground.
To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Lear ordered the wetland lizardmen to retreat two hundred meters.
He was left alone to control the area with Bubble Beast.
Just to be on the safe side, each bubble beast blew another bubble and wrapped itself inside it.
Lear stood with Bobo.
In this way, even if something unexpected happens, the bubbles can hold it up.
It can attack and defend, Bubble Beast, it gets better and better the more you use it.
One by one, bubbles silently approached the mud wasp's nest from the ground.
After a distance of 100 meters, it was instantly detected by the vigilant mud wasps.
Buzz buzz buzz~
With a flap of its wings, it signaled that it had detected the enemy.
This stirred up a hornet's nest.
Wasps, covering half the sky, swarmed in.
The Kuroshio Current formed directly in the sky.
Upon seeing this, the Bubble Beast panicked and, disregarding its concealment, immediately mobilized its bubbles to increase its flight speed.
Braving the raging mud, the wasps quickly approached the nest.
In just a few breaths, the bubbles were covered with a dense swarm of mud wasps.
Three layers inside and three layers outside.
Their stingers frantically pierced the bubbles, trying to prevent them from getting closer.
However, the bubbles are like rubber; they can be punctured, but they just don't burst.
Bubble Beast was sweating profusely, its magic power being consumed at an alarming rate.
Finally, the bubble forced its way to the bottom of the mud wasp nest.
Lear gave the order decisively.
"Detonate!"
Click~
Four bubbles, each three meters in diameter and completely surrounded by mud wasps, suddenly burst open.
Bang! A powerful shockwave rippled outwards, and thick smoke instantly billowed out, enveloping the entire area.
The bursting of the four bubbles released the dense smoke that had been suppressed for over ten minutes all at once.
It rose from the ground and completely covered the wasp nest.
The remaining 12 bubbles did not burst, but their tops all opened up, and thick smoke billowed out like the chimney of a steelmaking blast furnace, almost like a real burst of thick smoke.
The scene was exceptionally spectacular.
The swamp wasps frantically flapping their wings suddenly froze, their bodies stiffening.
Then came a series of terrified insect chirps.
My body fell to the ground like hailstones, crashing and clattering.
The dark swarm of insects was swept away in just a few breaths!
An undisguised excitement rose in Lear's eyes.
It's done!!
