Chapter 228: Calamity Seed & Forest Race Rebellion (4)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In just a short moment, the entire Forest race began to fall into chaos.

Before they could approach the Phantom Horn race, they started fighting among themselves.

No one paid attention to what exactly happened.

“This is just the beginning!”

Phantom Maiden looked at the changes in the Forest race and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

The Calamity Flag was only the start.

“Kui Yuan, why is there internal strife within the Forest race? What’s the flag in

Phantom Maiden’s hand?! ”

Kui Ba’s expression turned grave. The Forest race’s morale had been high, but this unexpected event occurred just as they were closing in on the Phantom Horn race. It left Kui Ba with a foreboding sense of unease.

Kui Yuan did not speak, but his gaze passed through the battlefield and looked at the Forest race. He realized that the Forest race had black eyes as if something was covering their eyes.

“Is it an illusion?”

At that moment, Kui Yuan already had some guesses.

That flag must have stirred confusion among the members of the Forest race. The black fog induced hallucinations, disrupting their clarity of mind.

As a result, internal conflict erupted within the Forest race. Nevertheless, Kui Yuan also noticed that some Forest race members bearing black star-shaped markings on their bodies remained unaffected. However, since their own kind had initiated the attacks, they had no choice but to defend themselves.

“That flag likely induced hallucinations in certain Forest race members, causing them to perceive their own kind as adversaries.”

Kui Yuan said softly. Then, with a flip of his palm, an item that looked like a toad appeared in his hand.

“Hundred Illusion Golden Toad!”

As he injected spiritual energy into the item, the golden toad seemed to come to life and a suction force appeared in its mouth.

A substantial volume of black fog continued to approach Kui Yuan from a distance, ultimately being absorbed by the Hundred Illusion Golden Toad.

Kui Yuan had obtained this treasure by chance. Originally, he wanted to trade it with others, but it came in handy now. Hundred Illusion Golden Toad

Grade: 7

Introduction: An illusionary treasure that absorbs all kinds of illusions. Devouring illusions form the Hundred Illusion Golden Pill.

Although it was Grade 7, the illusions could not be easily absorbed.

Unless the power to conjure illusions had a tangible form, like the black fog before him, the Hundred Illusion Golden Toad proved to be of limited utility.

As the black fog was continuously absorbed, some of the Forest race members who had their eyes covered realized that they were attacking their own kind.

Soon, the Forest race’s gaze landed on the Phantom Horn race again.

“Heh, the seed has already been planted. It’s too late to get rid of the fog.”

Phantom Maiden smiled. At that moment, the Forest race had already collided with the Phantom Horn race, but she didn’t care anymore.

Under her lead, the Phantom Horn race retreated step by step as if they could not withstand the attack of the Forest race.

“Kui Yuan, shall we?!”

When Kui Ba and the others saw the Phantom Horn race retreating in defeat, they could not help but think of chasing after them.

On the battlefield, tree branches flew everywhere and whipped at the Phantom Horn race members one after another.

Many Phantom Horn race members dodged repeatedly in a sorry state. In fact, they did not cooperate at all as though they were a defeated army.

“Let them come!”

Phantom Maiden kept dodging the Forest race’s attacks with a strange smile.

“Bring the troops of the Mandrill race and the Forest race!”

Kui Yuan looked at his clansmen beside him and said calmly.

He understood that his fellow clansmen were eager to make a contribution, but he wasn’t in a rush. Instead, he readily approved their proposal to pursue the

Phantom Horn race.

“Okay!”

“Mandrill race troops, attack!”

“Kill the Phantom Horn race and suppress Phantom Maiden!”

Kui Li roared and led the 10,000 Mandrill race members under him toward Phantom Maiden.

“Something’s amiss! Even with the power of the shadows, which has a subduing influence on the Phantom Horn race, they shouldn’t be so defenseless.

“Could it be a trap?”

Kui Yuan could not help but think that this was the reason why he asked Kui Li and the others to attack. He would soon know if it was a trap set by Phantom Maiden.

Not far from the battlefield of the two races, there was a mountain. The trees on the mountain were dense, but one could see the entire battlefield.

“General, I’m back!”

A Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry said to a figure watching the battlefield.

“What does the lord say?”

Xu Ding turned around and asked in a questioning tone.

“My lord doesn’t allow us to interfere in the battles of the foreign races. If there’s any important news, we must report to him immediately.”

The soldier said solemnly.

“Got it!”

Xu Ding nodded and was not surprised.

For some time, he had been closely monitoring the Mandrill race and the Phantom Horn race from a nearby mountain peak.

From Kui Yuan receiving the power of the shadows to Phantom Maiden waving the black flag.

He had also witnessed the internal discord within the Forest race. Xu Ding had diligently documented this information one by one.

“A war between two foreign races. I wonder if the lord will use this chance to expand into No Man’s Land!”

Xu Ding’s contemplative gaze met the soldier’s. He instructed the soldier to report to Mei Changge, explaining that the current state of war presented an opportunity for the growth of the Green Lotus Territory.

“The lord is unlikely to pass up this opportunity, and I believe Mr. Guo has already considered my perspective.”

Xu Ding’s eyes were firm.

He led the Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry into No Man’s Land again. This time, he did not act rashly. However, when he noticed that some weak foreign races were slaughtered in No Man’s Land, he followed them all the way and saw the

scene in front of him.

This time, he hid with the Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry. Even if some foreign races were to discover them, Xu Ding would slaughter them without any mercy.

“I’m curious whether both sides will incur losses or if one side will emerge as the clear victor.”

Xu Ding shifted his gaze to the battlefield again.

At that moment, Kui Li and the others led the Mandrill race into the battlefield. In an instant, some Phantom Horn race members were killed on the spot.

The power of shadows allowed them to restrain and harm the spirit bodies of the Phantom Horn race.

“They are finally here.”

Phantom Maiden’s eyes lit up. However, when she saw that Kui Yuan and the Mandrill race did not attack, she felt a little helpless.

Kui Yuan was vigilant. If he wasn’t confident, he definitely wouldn’t do it himself.

Losing the 30 ,000 Mandrill race members and 100,000 Forest race members would be a significant blow to the Mandrill race.

“This is enough!”

A cold glint flashed across Phantom Maiden’s eyes. She swayed the black flag in her hand again.

This time, the black fog did not appear, but the Forest race that had entered earlier came to a halt.

Soon after, a strange aura surged from the Forest race members.

In an instant, all the Forest race members turned around. Their eyes were dull as if they were under some kind of control.

“Calamity Seed, Manipulate!”

As Phantom Maiden spoke, the Phantom Horn race instantly flew into the sky in their spirit bodies.

An inexplicable aura enveloped the entire battlefield.

“This is bad!”

Kui Li and the others’ hearts sank when they saw the Forest race turn around and attack them.

Even Kui Yuan, who was far away, was stunned.

The black fog that produced the illusion had clearly been absorbed by the Hundred Illusion Golden Toad. Why were the Forest race members still being controlled?

Moreover, some of them with the power of shadows were also manipulated.

“The Forest race has rebelled!”

Kui Wu’s voice quivered with frustration, and his face betrayed a strong anger.

“Kill them! The Phantom Horn race lured us here with the intention of trapping us!”

Kui Ba’s voice remained steady. He was well aware that this battlefield had likely been orchestrated as a trap by the Phantom Horn race, luring them into this situation..
