Chapter 389: Ice Erosion Poison (Extreme Effect)
Rumble!
"Hmm?"
"What just happened down there?"
Muelleran Hauen was perplexed.
Just moments ago, he felt a tremor beneath the garden, accompanied by a faint essence of energy.
However, the Organizer was too far away to discern the specifics of the situation, only sensing the vibrations beneath his feet.
"Was there something here when I arrived?"
Muelleran Hauen furrowed his brows, deep in thought.
The Organizer wanted to conduct long-distance reconnaissance, but to do that, he needed to be within his own territory or have subordinates in the right positions to act as his eyes and ears.
As for personally investigating the situation...
Muelleran Hauen glanced at the wooden door beside him.
He was well aware that the massive life energy behind that door was his true objective.
He wouldn't spare even a second to leave this place.
...
Muelleran Hauen didn't explore the details of the garden, nor did he know its history.
But in reality, just as Lindsey had gained the status of a Divine Court noble and earned the favor of the Forest Will, Yuramanasuo, the former Organizer, had intentionally cultivated this plant here.
The purpose was to usurp control of the garden and completely dominate this secret realm.
This was also why Muelleran Hauen, as a fellow Organizer, could safely arrive here without being attacked.
Far below, Kuai Te, who had angered Yuramanasuo, was knocked down by a thick root stem.
Fortunately, he had already used a technique to conceal himself before taking action.
At this moment, Kuai Te clenched his teeth, remaining silent.
He managed to avoid being discovered by Yuramanasuo, who treated him as insignificant debris within the sewer.
"..."
Kuai Te glanced at Lindsey with a pleading look in his eyes.
Lindsey didn't take advantage of the situation to blackmail him.
He drew out his Silk Shadow Bow, and several arrows immediately imbued with flame energy flew towards the distant root stems.
Puff, puff, puff! All three arrows hit their mark!
Yuramanasuo's root stems caught fire, but the flames were quickly extinguished, causing only minor damage.
Relying on this level of flame to completely burn Yuramanasuo to death was an impossible task!
Lindsey remained calm and switched to the Puzzle Module.
[Rampaging Root Stems - Highly aggressive plant root stems, driven by primal instincts.]
[Thick Root Stems - Plant growth follows a pattern; the left upper part of the sewer is the most robust and powerful, likely the main network of this plant.]
With this information, Lindsey knew which direction to take.
He also identified the solution by targeting the plant's primal instincts.
At the same time, the raging root stems, agitated by the flaming arrows, changed their target and began frantically striking in another direction.
Kuai Te, seeing the opportunity, scrambled and crawled, sliding out from the icy ground he had created.
"..."
Lindsey blocked Kuai Te's path with his foot.
Then, he pointed at the ground and then at the distance.
The other two realized and followed Lindsey, retreating further into the tunnel.
Once they were out of Yuramanasuo's detection range, the sound of the root stems pounding the tunnel behind them continued to rumble, and the tremors beneath their feet didn't stop for a moment. Recalling the previous scene was still terrifying.
Lindsey turned to Kuai Te:
"I already told you that this thing dislikes low temperatures but isn't afraid of them."
"This method only provokes its ferocity."
Kuai Te slapped his sleeves, removing the dirt he had picked up from the ground:
"So, do you have a better idea now?"
"You just shot those arrows, and the situation isn't much different from my Snow Queen's Tears!"
Lindsey reiterated, "I said from the beginning that it's a biological weakness, and flame is just one way to exploit it."
"Lindsey's flame arrow shot earlier also helped Kuai Te escape."
The wealthy merchant didn't continue, but his expression conveyed, 'You can say whatever you want, I'm just listening.'
Caji, standing nearby, asked, "Lord Diablo, do you have any ideas?"
Lindsey nodded. "Don't forget, this creature is extremely thirsty for water. I already have a plan."
"Wait here for a moment. I'll go and make some preparations."
Lindsey asked the two to wait while he found a corner of the water channel and took out the Alchemy Potion Preparation Table from his bag.
He first used Spider Compound Eye as a raw material to create Corrosive Poison, then extracted the acidic toxins to synthesize Acidic Corrosive.
Combining it with Illusion Ice Mushroom found in the underground of Black Mountain, he obtained a portion of Ice Erosion Poison.
During the potion preparation, Lindsey used Life Lake Water throughout, enhancing the toxicity of this poison.
[Potion: Ice Erosion Poison (Extremely Effective)]
[Extremely corrosive ice poison that freezes and corrodes the cellular structure of the target. With the enhancement of high-quality materials, this potion's effect is even more powerful!]
[An extremely deadly poison with moderate value.]
As Lindsey picked up the potion from the table, he immediately felt a chilling coldness in his hands.
His current physique was already formidable, and ordinary cold temperatures were hardly noticeable to him.
The fact that the coldness penetrated through the bottle and chilled his hands was a testament to the potency of the Ice Erosion Poison. "Will one portion be enough for it?"
"And this icy liquid won't be easy for it to drink casually."
Lindsey thought about Yulamanasuo's massive size.
He immediately took out several soil blocks and created an infinite pool on the spot, diluting the Ice Erosion Poison while making a few more bottles.
On the other side, Kuai Te and Caji remained where they were.
Neither of them broke Lindsey's request.
But the wealthy merchant noticed Caji's unease and casually played to his strengths:
"Caji, you're a Sensor, right?"
Caji dared not offend the merchant before him and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, Lord Kuai Te, I'm Caji."
Kuai Te smiled gently. "Speaking of which, the reason Sensors were sent to the Forest Courtyard was due to our Riverbank Merchant Guild's invitation."
"How do you feel about being here?"
Caji naturally replied, "I feel great. Coming to a border world like this is an opportunity for everyone!"
The two chatted for a while.
As the conversation progressed, Kuai Te steered it towards the topic he truly wanted to discuss: "You think neither ice nor fire will work. What other methods can Lord Diablo use to deal with this plant?"
Caji shook his head, bewildered. "I don't know."
Kuai Te chuckled softly. "Since you're his follower, you should know your leader's abilities."
"Think carefully." The wealthy merchant didn't even use any techniques but took out several gold coins and slipped them into Caji's pocket. "I know you Sensors are hired, and I understand that."
"..."
Caji's expression froze.
He glanced at Kuai Te, and the benevolent merchant smiled and nodded at him.
Then, with determination, Caji said, "I'm sorry, I don't know anything."
"I've only just started following Lord Diablo. You've asked the wrong person!"
"..."
Kuai Te's expression darkened momentarily, but his gentle smile remained unchanged. "Caji, you should know..."
"You two, come and help me move this!"
Lindsey's voice interrupted them from around the corner, where they saw him carrying a massive wooden barrel, with the sound of water sloshing inside.
Lindsey pointed to several more wooden barrels behind him. "Let's feed this to Yulamanasuo, and this matter will likely be resolved."
