Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 850 - 781: Who Doesn’t Know How to Shut the Door and Beat the Dog? (Part 2)

"He- help me!" A few breaths later, feeling the energy within him rapidly dissipating, the strange man with the appearance of an uncle cried out in panic, trying to rid himself of the net thrown by the other party.

"What happened?"

"What is the boss shouting about? Is he calling us over?"

"What are you dreaming about? After wishing day and night for a fresh large living person, you still want to fight the boss for food?"

"Hungry! So hungry! I want to have a taste too, even if it's just one bite!"

The hierarchy among the strange was clear, without the boss's permission, no one dared to rashly advance, otherwise, they would be forcibly devoured like those disobedient ones before.

Who made them lose to the boss when the Fairy blessed them?

Unable to beat him and wanting to survive, they could only obey. Hopefully, after he and his followers feasted, there would be some leftovers, and hoping by being quick, they could snatch a taste to soothe their extreme hunger.

"What are you all standing around for? Everyone, charge! Eat that guy!"

"Someone! Quickly come help me get this thing off!"

"Time to eat! Come and enjoy the tasty, fresh person!"

...

One second the strange ones were salivating over the fresh flesh, the next, they were ensnared by a large net, unable to break free. In their brief confusion, they realized even the boss was caught.

The young man who was supposed to be everyone's meal had some weaponry wound around his right wrist.

A finely crafted slender iron chain emitted a chilling aura, with complex runes etched on a hooked tip with barbs. When flung, it hooked onto the boss, slightly diminishing the powerful aura surrounding him.

The strange ones, caught in the net and unable to escape, knew even in their stupidity that death was near. Some shouted for help while others tried to lure more strange ones with promises of food.

Whether by tainting this fellow or using him as a shield to delay their deaths, they couldn't just wait to be slaughtered!

Hearing that there was something tasty to share, the famished strange ones recklessly dashed forward;

Whereas some strange ones, seeing the boss's dire situation, realized things were amiss. Even he was weakened; if they didn't escape now, when would they?

The branches of the World Tree enclosed the entire polluted area, they couldn't escape, so they had to find a supposedly hidden place to hide.

Some initially wanted to hide, but then realized if they were broken one by one, they would ultimately be unable to escape, so they decided to overwhelm him now in the hope that overwhelming numbers could overpower the master and achieve great merit!

The boss was dead; the kid was an outsider who could lead them out of this ghostly place into the larger world outside, a new opportunity for domination lay right ahead! Wealth comes from risk, it's now or never!

"Buzz~"

Jiang Yuan, seeing the increasing number of gathering strange ones, decisively summoned the Chaotic Heaven Bell!

First, casting a wide net to "fish" as many as possible, leaving the rest tied up to be sliced individually later.

Thankfully, most of these strange ones had been ordinary people in their lives, while the one they called boss, the 'uncle' releasing the Illusion Realm, was one of the few former cultivators, who after becoming a strange was limited by the environment. Aside from having stronger illusion and pollution powers, he didn't have any other means to use.

Thus, the cleanup work became very simple.

Using a one-time capture net + Chaotic Heaven Bell + Soul Hook, control the swarming army of strange ones, and get ready to start working!

Anyway, the entire land was shrouded in black mist, trapping them inside. Lock the gates to fight the dogs. Who couldn't do that?

"Who exactly is he? Why can't he be polluted?"

"Run quickly! He must be practicing a purification cultivation technique, and he's a master!"

"Damn purification ability, don't run! Nobody runs! Do we want to allow him to break us one by one?"

"That's right! All together now! Keep at it until he exhausts himself..."

...

Some fled in panic; others shouted about depleting the opponent's Spiritual Power for a chance, creating a noisy uproar. Jiang Yuan looked at those who no longer bothered to disguise themselves, revealing their rotting pus, and felt a nausea in his stomach.

In comparison, the fox race strange ones he had dealt with before were much better.

Though still strange, they were at least like half-transparent slimes, appearing clean and bouncy;

This group of strange ones was an absolute eyesore, but fortunately, they didn't emit a foul odor. Otherwise, like that mutated strange tree reeking like this, the task would be unmanageable!

"An automatic harvester, and a permanent one!" Jiang Yuan's eyes lit up when he saw these words!

Such a good thing, if he could get it sooner, he would never have to worry about sowing and harvesting in the fields again.

Just buy suitable seeds, set them up, and easy farming would no longer be a dream!

"Heh heh..." Suddenly, he didn't find the rotten pus as disgusting anymore, they were all rewards!

Since working hard would stop time, Jiang Yuan didn't even know how long he had actually been busy.

Anyway, whenever the Physical Strength Bar was empty, he drank tea, and the overwhelming joy of defeating the strange ones became more exhilarating as the side mission numbers kept rising.

"Phew! Seems like it'll take at least two more areas full of strange ones to take the permanent automatic harvester home!" After all the captured strange ones had been sliced up, mission progress (1297/5000), he glanced at the dilapidated buildings, imagining there were still some strange ones hiding in them.

His left hand naturally hung down, with a drop of pale blue flame flowing at his fingertip.

"Go, purify this place completely!" Jiang Yuan flicked his finger, releasing the Ice Flame with purification ability.

Level Five Ice Flame was not the delicate little cutie it used to be. As it dripped onto the ground, it immediately spread, the blue flames jumping and devouring each inch of land tainted by the strange aura.

After purification, everything turned to ashes, restoring the land to its original, clean state.

Standing in the azure flames with hands behind his back, Jiang Yuan captured and sliced up the strange ones that were hiding and caught in the purifying flames, as they screamed and attempted to flee.

The time clocked a stop-and-go flow, over an hour and not even one percent was purified, how long would this take?

He clicked open the communication interface, directly messaging Qing Niao, asking if she had time to help with some work.

"Eh? Brother wasn't busy with Yan Xuan in some secretive work? Why suddenly ask me?" Qing Niao received the private message, her heart blooming with joy, "Heh heh! I guess in Brother's heart, my importance cannot be replaced!

But Yan Xuan, being a Divine Beast… oh wait, it must have dropped from divine status for some reason, similar to Brother falling to the mortal realm, facing many restrictions, otherwise, I wouldn't be needed.

For Brother to actively ask for my help, it must be for purification… tch tch, where does he keep finding so many places needing purification?"

She replied, gladly agreeing, first sending the Skylark back to the small courtyard. When being summoned into the instance by Jiang Yuan to help, internally muttering: the descent of Celestial Fire to the mortal world, could it be the Heavenly Dao sending him to resolve domestic unrest?

Then why bother creating a little courtyard tending fields every day?

With a head full of question marks, Qing Niao, just summoned, experienced a seismic shock to her pupils, quickly wrapping herself in Ice Flame from head to toe securely.

Then looking at Jiang Yuan so blatantly exposed to the air, she exclaimed, "Brother, what is this place? Why is it filled with such strong strange aura? Why aren't you protecting yourself, what if you get polluted?"

Jiang Yuan: ...

The point is, this air doesn't attack me!

Those strange tendril attacks could at least brush some poison resistance experience every ten seconds, while the particles floating in the air had absolutely no effect.

Seeing the other's helpless expression, Qing Niao pursed her lips, thinking she must be losing her mind.

Worrying about the Celestial Fire risking pollution by strange ones? If not bound by some restriction, Brother would be a natural enemy to all filth in the world! Afraid of what?

"Brother, I'll help with the purification!" she swiftly turned to release her Ice Flame to ease the awkwardness, only to see the already burning blue flames, her face then froze solid.

Wow! As expected of Brother Celestial Fire, this cultivation speed is insane!
