Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 989

Chapter 981 The Shock of the Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow Array System

After purchasing the premium version of the “Hit-Man Willow System,” Locke moved to a small, unassuming shop belonging to a small, independent wizarding academy called the “Firebreaker Alliance.” This was

clearly a small academy established by a group of independent wizards operating outside the major academies along the Tianjiang River. According to the information displayed in the shop’s showroom, the Firebreaker Alliance consisted of only three ordinary second-ring wizards, all of whom were present at the Rose Building for its opening ceremony.

Because it was only an alliance of three independent wizards, the academy had limited teaching positions, which meant limited resources in the corresponding wizarding secret realm and foundation systems. Therefore, this type of academy received little official support from the White Wizarding Association and had to find its own way to survive.

Furthermore, due to resource scarcity, a short history, and a primitive organizational structure, these academies had few students and wizard instructors, essentially operating in a state of imbalance.

The three second-circle wizards were excited to see Locke approaching and quickly introduced the defensive magical plant community they had created together, the “Lingdingyang Community.”

This was a defensive system composed of Lonely Grass, Lonely Lotus Leaf, and Weeping Orchid.

All three were placed in an aquarium. The Lonely Grass resembled a clump of withered grass floating on the water, with only a thin stalk visible. The Lonely Lotus Leaf had neither flower nor rhizome, only a single leaf and a small rootstock at its base. The Weeping Orchid was planted on the Lonely Grass’s characteristic floating

, withered surface.

The combination of these three created an interesting system, purely for defense, not for reconnaissance. The Lonely Lotus Leaf and Lonely Grass were first-circle magical plants, while the Weeping Orchid was a second-circle magical plant.

The Lonely Lotus Leaf can gather ice elemental energy, while the Lonely Grass possesses a special energy-locking structure that can transfer some energy to the magical plants planted on its energy-locking structure, “Water-borne Withered Grass.” Therefore, it’s equivalent to using the Lonely Lotus Leaf to gather ice elemental energy from the water and direct that energy towards the Weeping Orchid, allowing the Weeping Orchid to unleash a powerful magic-like ability—the Glazed Tear Frost Orb—at the enemy.

Locke was drawn to this because of the excellent magical plant trait data of the Lonely Ocean community and its adaptability along the Tianjiang River.

This magical plant weaponry indeed holds great promise along the Tianjiang River.

After listening to their introduction, Locke nodded.

“Indeed, quite good.”

The leader of the Firebreaker Alliance, an ordinary second-ring middle-aged wizard, smiled and narrowed his eyes.

“Thank you for your praise, sir.”

For a breeder from the Tianjiang River, receiving praise from the administrator of Silver Peach Garden for his magical plant design was a great honor and industry recognition.

Especially for independent wizards like them.

The three brothers had only discovered a special [magical spring] resource along the Tianjiang River. In order to keep this secret together and develop this secret resource without handing it over to anyone or betraying each other, they became sworn brothers and established a wizarding academy on the spot. Through years of hard work, they finally obtained the qualification certification of the local White Wizard Association.

Although the Firebreaker Alliance was too small and was likely to be disqualified by the White Wizard Association due to insufficient student numbers each year, they, as the founders of this academy, were constantly troubled by the lack of students.

Locke suddenly looked at the data and said, “But according to your magical plant system, its development requires considerable funding. It needs a specific environment, specific equipment…”

The leader of the Firebreaker Alliance smiled.

“Ah, is that so, Lord Augustine. Fortunately, we have received a large investment. But precisely because of this, the three of us brothers need to work hard, otherwise we won’t be able to pay the bills. Our efforts will become someone else’s. Hahaha…”

The three second-ring wizards all showed sincere smiles.

The second wizard then said to Locke, “Mr. Augustine, if you want to buy this magical plant system, the original price is two million magic stones, but if you buy it, we can sell it to you at cost price, only one million magic stones.”

The three looked at each other.

Then they all nodded to each other, indicating their approval of the second wizard’s proposal.

Because from a rational point of view, if the administrative head of Silver Peach Garden approves of their magical plant system, the significance is far greater than a mere one million magic stones profit.

This is their first pot of gold, and this first pot of gold will greatly influence and change their fate.

Locke nodded and said to the second-in-command of the Firebreaker Alliance, “You’re quite an honest person. There are very few alliances among wizards with such a good relationship and such a high level of trust as yours.”

The three laughed again.

The eldest chuckled, “There’s no other way. We’re just a bunch of lone wolves. If we don’t have any sense of honor, we really won’t have any means or skills to survive.”

The youngest looked at Locke expectantly and said, “The three of us want to become Star Ring Wizards, and even more so, renowned breeders. Unfortunately, we don’t have your talent, and we can’t become the darlings of advanced wizarding academies. We carefully calculated the resources we acquired and the time and resources we spent each year at our original wizarding academies, and realized that if we continued like this, we would never be able to gather the resources to become Star Ring Wizards. So, the three of us left our respective wizarding academies to work independently.”

“By chance, the three of us came together,”

Locke said. “So, how’s your income now?”

The three exchanged awkward glances.

The eldest brother said righteously, “Currently, we’re only losing money, not making any. We’re still in the early stages of starting a business, and the academy doesn’t have a stable source of students. Lord Augustine, for a small academy like ours, we have to fight with others for a few students, I mean, we have to compete… sigh.” The three of

them immediately complained.

Locke took out a hundred magic crystal cards.

“Alright, I’ll help you out today. I’ll buy a set of your Lingdingyang System, consider it our Silver Peach Garden’s investment in your Firebreaker Alliance’s future.”

The three of them looked at Locke gratefully.

In their eyes, they were just newcomers in this industry, and Locke’s willingness to buy their products was already a favor to them, and this favor could translate into real sales in the future, attracting the attention of other wizards to their magical plant products.

Locke said, “Give me this aquatic plant tank too.”

The three of them readily agreed.

On the other side, the witch Rose used a magical key to open the dome of the hundredth floor of the Rose Building. As the dome opened like a magical umbrella, revealing the sky, Rose released many magical creatures called Stonewing Evil Birds, each with various types of [Sealing Chains] around their necks.

These were raptors made entirely of stone, with sharp claws bearing spell models similar to those of the Power School. When they swooped down, their claws could instantly tear open a person’s stomach. They also possessed apprentice-level spell models similar to those of the Conjuration School: the Stone Skin Charm, enhancing their defensive capabilities. Each Stonewing Evil Bird was at the apprentice level, but the flock included a leader, a first-ring magical creature, and three Stonewing Evil Bird Kings, ordinary second-ring magical creatures.

Stonewing Evil Birds were relatively common in the various forbidden zones of the Wizarding Lands, a common group of magical creatures. Therefore, wizards often used sealing chains to restrict their movements and as model organism testing tools.

Rose the Witch snapped her fingers.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I have free Stonewing Evil Birds here; the model creatures are for your weapon testing.”

“Also, there’s an Abyssal Spine Dragon that can be used as a testing tool. If no magical plant weapon can kill this dragon, then it will be killed by my Tricolor Rose Darts.”

Rose the Witch smiled, everything seemed to be under her control. “I hope everyone has a perfect day.” Many wizards present were excited, whether they were participants, or the breeders and shop alliance staff who had obtained these exhibition booths. Rose the Witch’s investment was astonishing; the cost of this event alone was estimated to be between ten and twenty million magic stones.

This indicated that Rose the Witch had bypassed the unspoken rules of the local White Wizarding Association and the various local academies, directly negotiating a huge amount of magic stone funds from the various small and medium-sized shop alliances, independent wizards, and individual wizarding academies.

Her funds were abundant.

As a breeding genius, she knew the value of money and highly regarded breeders, which is why she offered so many magical creatures for testing, allowing them to use them for free.

The atmosphere instantly reached a new level.

Most wizards’ attention was drawn to the Rose Building and the Aurelia Direct Store Alliance. Discussions among the crowd revolved around Aurelia and the changes it would bring to the wizarding world.

A new retail industry, a new ecosystem—this meant a shift in the power structure, with the previously monopolistic store alliances being the first to be impacted.

And directly facing Aurelia was Silver Peach Garden.

Of course, unbeknownst to everyone, a hidden investment banking alliance existed, and they were furious that Rose had broken away from them, directly contacting numerous lower-level wizards and obtaining ample funding.

Meanwhile, the wizards at Joseph’s Reed Pavilion had already set up their reed jungles on the rooftops of the shops in the exhibition area. After activating the summoning magic array within the shops, thousands of stone-winged evil birds, their necks bound with sealing chains, swarmed towards them. In the very first wave, the sentry reeds erupted with strange noises. This was because they sensed the magical pressure of the flock of stone-winged evil birds and amplified the sound of the abnormal magical pressure flow through their internal structure. Then, the noise triggered the water arrow reeds, which swayed and shot arrows of water into the sky.

These were not ordinary water arrows, but water magic enhanced with humidification techniques, specifically tailored to the penetrating power of water magic, thus increasing the penetrating force of these water arrows. Once they hit, even stone skin would be penetrated by the moisture through every pore. In the first instant, hundreds of stone-winged evil birds were instantly destroyed.

By the time the flock of evil birds swooped down over the sentry reeds, most of them had already been killed or wounded by the water arrows raining down on the reeds. After all, this system could repel a group attack of about fifty formal wizards.

However, despite this, the shattered bodies of the stone-winged evil birds still fell, bending quite a few of the sentry reeds. The wizards of Joseph’s Reed Lodge exchanged bewildered glances, unaware that their reed jungle system had such a glaring weakness. Enemy corpses could still slam down from the air, even if they were killed, they could still hurl heavy stones at the ground, attacking the reed jungle.

The person in charge of Joseph’s Reed Lodge, the high-level wizard instructor who had come from the Reed Lodge this time, the second-circle wizard, burst into laughter.

“This is a common flaw in immovable defensive plant formations, not unique to our Reed Jungle. But it’s alright, adding some defensive magic arrays in front of the Reed Jungle can easily solve this problem.” “

The Reed Jungle can repel a combined attack from at least fifty full-fledged wizards. Of course, what we’re demonstrating is a simplified version, but it can still withstand a combined attack from five to ten full-fledged wizards. It’s a powerful defensive system, but because it’s immovable, it’s vulnerable to pinpoint attacks.”

Many wizards nodded in agreement.

An old crystallized wizard, a rogue, then said, “But if we add defensive magic arrays, wouldn’t your Reed Jungle system be restricted in its attack direction? And if we want to set up defensive magic arrays that only defend against specific magical attacks without affecting the Water Arrow Reeds’ attack, how advanced would those magic arrays be?”

“Furthermore, if it’s set up to allow water magic to pass freely, it will leave loopholes in the defenses.”

Joseph’s senior wizard instructor at the Reed Pavilion’s face darkened for a moment, but he quickly recovered.

“Sir, you’re not buying it anyway.”

The rogue wizard immediately took a half step back and said, “Well, I’m not buying it. I’m just pointing out this problem.”

At this moment, the witch Rose said to the wizards, “I purchased the corresponding Summoning School’s Summoning Book magic artifact service. They connected me to a nest of Stonewing Evil Birds, so you don’t need to worry about the number of these test model creatures. As many as you kill, they will be replenished here. Behind the summoning array, there are all kinds of test model creatures.”

The wizards immediately looked at the various corners of the exhibition area on the hundredth floor. They saw a total of ten Summoning Books, and ten formal wizards were activating these Summoning Books, opening the summoning arrays and summoning the Stonewing Evil Birds.

Locke looked in the direction of the Rose witch. “In that case, she probably spent more than 20 million magic stones today. Yes, she needs to demonstrate her ample financial resources to all the wizards along the Tianjiang River. Only then can she gain their trust and complete the Rose Building.” “Bang!”

Locke saw a Stonewing Evil Bird King suddenly swoop down, like a gray flash, tearing apart most of the Man-Beating Willow grove atop the Dalton Woods shop.

Dalton Woods had clearly messed up. They wanted to challenge the difficulty of defending against second-circle creatures, but instead used the pre-set summoning circle in the shop to summon the highest-level Stonewing Evil Bird King, resulting in their Man-Beating Willow grove being torn open after a brief resistance.

The high-level wizard instructor from Dalton Woods, the second-circle wizard, was clearly panicked, because a Man-Beating Willow had actually… It snapped instantly.

The Stonewing Demon King, however, was incredibly cunning. Instead of attacking immediately, it accelerated like a gray flash, disappearing into the air before returning to the sky. It then swooped down towards the second Willow Tree, which lashed out with its branches at the gray flash.

The next moment, the Stonewing Demon King vanished from its spot, rapidly turning in mid-air and arriving beside the Willow Tree, snapping it in two with a single claw.

The high-ranking wizard instructor in Dalton Woods was sweating profusely. In such a short time, they had witnessed the Willow Tree defenses crumble one after another. He glared angrily at the crystallization breeder in charge of the adjustments. “What happened? Didn’t you say the Willow Tree system could temporarily withstand attacks from second-ring creatures?”

The crystallization breeder, his face flushed, replied, “This… sir, that was an experiment using the Earth King Demon Bear from the ground.”

“That demonic bear walks on the ground, while the Stonewing Evil Bird King flies in the sky. Its mobility is incredible.”

The senior wizard instructor of Dalton Woods slapped his forehead.

“I already knew that without you saying it.”

A smile appeared on his face as he addressed the group, “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m going to demonstrate a wonderful application of the Willow Beating System developed by our Dalton Woods. As long as a sufficiently skilled breeder uses the Magic Sun, that is, the Magical Frequency Cultivation Method on the Willow Beating, this will happen…” He adjusted it to just the right magical frequency to stimulate the Willow Beating, and instantly all the Willow Beating on the roof went berserk, countless branches throbbing and undulating like waves.

The Stonewing Evil Bird King, under the throbbing of these branches, turned into gray flashes in mid-air, dodging left and right, looking quite disheveled.

After several attempts to approach, it could only return to the sky to avoid the Willow Beating.

Therefore, the exhibition area of Dalton Woods was undamaged.

Many wizards present applauded. Regardless, at least the Whomping Willow formation had truly protected the exhibition area from the attack of a ferocious, raging second-circle magical creature.

The senior wizard instructor from Dalton Woods breathed a sigh of relief.

However, after he dispelled the Magic Sun, the Whomping Willows and Foam Willows immediately weakened and slowed down.

At that moment, the Stonewing Demon King, which had previously turned back into the sky, suddenly made a sharp turn in the air, transforming into a gray flash that flickered continuously in the sky. It then rapidly approached the Whomping Willow formation on the roof of the Dalton Woods exhibition area. It cried out, followed by an angry and shrill sound. Stonewing Demon Birds were naturally inclined to attack other creatures, especially the king of birds; clearly, the wizards of Dalton Woods had successfully enraged this king of birds.

The Stonewing Demon King transformed into a gray afterimage and darted through the Whomping Willow formation. In just a few rounds, it snapped one Whomping Willow after another with its wings.

The high-ranking wizard instructor from Dalton Woods stared wide-eyed.

“Damn it, quickly use the exorcism spell!”

A dispelling spell was activated inside the shop, but as a second-circle creature, it could obviously resist this dispelling spell temporarily. The Stonewing Evil Bird King, seemingly targeting Dalton Woods specifically, picked up a Whomping Willow, uprooted it from a special flowerpot on the roof, and threw it at the wizard tourists visiting Dalton Woods.

The wizard tourists were startled, because the Whomping Willow, due to its momentum, was still attacking in all directions with its branches.

Before the willow tree even fell, its branches lashed out at the group.

The wizard tourists scattered in panic.

A single branch cleaved the street, splitting it in two.

The high-ranking wizard mentor of Dalton Woods was furious. “How dare you!”

He didn’t care about demonstrating the weapon’s performance anymore. He took out a Trident Neptune Willow from his astral ring. The Trident Neptune Willow was wrapped in wisps of water vapor. Then, he held the Trident Neptune Willow and thrust it at the Stonewing Evil Bird King.

“Bang!”

The Stonewing Evil Bird King’s left leg was pierced through. The Trident Sea King Willow, resembling a trident in shape, was entwined with extremely powerful water magic from the Tianjiang River, its penetrating power specially enhanced, thus piercing through its claw.

The Stonewing Evil Bird King instantly transformed into a gray flash, flickering continuously, and soared into the sky, escaping. The senior wizard instructor from Dalton Woods was furious, seemingly wanting to rush into the sky and kill the second-ring creature, but was stopped by staff from Rose Building.

The staff member quickly advised, “Sir, sir, that’s just a model creature used by Rose Building for weapons testing. According to the rules, you can’t kill it yourself. A second-ring model creature is very expensive; it’s an asset of Rose Building.” The senior wizard instructor from Dalton Woods had no choice but to give up.

He turned to look at the crowd, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

“There’s no way around it. The Witch Rose uses a highly mobile flying raptor, which is a second-circle creature. As a magical plant defensive community that can only stay in a fixed position, it is naturally at a disadvantage in terms of mobility. Even if that evil bird can’t beat it, it can dodge by taking off. It can attack or retreat at will, and the rhythm is entirely in its hands.”

“But in actual warfare, this kind of system… can’t be used alone like this. So this is just an extreme case.” The second-ring wizard explained, forcing a smile. After all, they had invested a lot of resources, manpower, and time to develop this system, and they absolutely couldn’t admit it had flaws. If they didn’t admit it, there would still be room for maneuver, and someone would come to investigate. If they admitted it, it would be all over. So no matter how thick-skinned they were, they had to find a reason. Anyway, as long as you wanted to find a winning angle, you could definitely find one.

That’s how optimistic life is.

At this moment, the Stonewing Evil Bird King flew in mid-air and let out a mocking cry. It grabbed an ordinary Stonewing Evil Bird and used it as a stone projectile coated with the Stone Skin spell, throwing it at the shop on the ground. Instantly, the unprotected exhibition area shop in Dalton Woods was smashed through a hole.

The senior wizard instructor leading the team was so angry that he almost couldn’t help but kill the Evil Bird King.

Rose the Witch undoubtedly used a batch of high-level test-purpose model creatures, so the testing results at other shops weren’t very good either. Only a few shops that lowered the testing difficulty and reduced the number of summoned stone-winged evil birds achieved some decent demonstration effects and gained some attention.

President Fula shook her head, looking at the exasperated Dalton Woods.

“The magical plant defense system jointly developed by local schools is still not good enough; that’s all it’s capable of.” “

Indeed, in the interdimensional war, we still need to purchase some magical plant defense systems from higher-level wizarding lands so that we can deploy them in that world to prevent demons from attacking our hard-won wizarding cities. But…”

President Fula shook her head, her two white ponytails swaying. The association was broke.

The entire Tianjiang River region had always been poor. For

some reason, most of the White Wizard Association’s businesses had been losing money year after year. Audits couldn’t find anything wrong, law firms couldn’t see any problems, and even brute force investigations were sometimes useless.

This has led to most of the White Wizard Associations along the Tianjiang River having to borrow money, resulting in ever-increasing debt and a growing number of assets and qualifications being mortgaged. She’s even struggling to pay the association’s employees’ salaries for next month.

If this continues, she’ll be forced to take action against the association’s affiliated wizarding realms. These realms are public and cannot be sold, but the profits generated are hard currency, anchored as fixed assets.

Association President Fula bit her lip. Sometimes she felt like a beggar, constantly worrying about money and unable to find a way to cover the deficit. Meanwhile, the Tianjiang River region needed development, infrastructure maintenance, and support for various wizarding academies… There was probably no association president more miserable than her…

Sometimes she considered applying to Mystic Heaven for bankruptcy, requesting a hundred-year direct trusteeship…

But doing so would mean surrendering direct control of the entire Tianjiang River wizarding land. She might be willing, but the white wizards of the region wouldn’t be.

The next moment, Guild Master Fura paused, turning to look in the direction of Joseph’s Reed Pavilion. It turned out that the wizards there had attempted to challenge the Stonewing Demon King. They had succeeded in the challenge, but the reed forest had indeed been breached by the arrogant magical creature. The Stonewing Demon King grew even more arrogant, its confidence swelled, and it began ramming into the load-bearing pillar of the hundredth floor of Rose Building, attempting to shatter the magical chains binding its neck. The entire Rose Building shook.

Seeing this, Guild Master Fura was immediately disappointed with Joseph’s Reed Pavilion’s native magical plant defense system.

Why choose a magical plant defense system? Because in the interdimensional war, using a large number of magical artifacts to form a defense system would require ample magical energy batteries or energy storage facilities, which the impoverished White Wizard Guild along the Tianjiang River lacked.

Therefore, they prefer using the magical plant defense system. After all, as long as a region is created that aligns with the principles of the wizarding world, a magical plant defense system can be set up there. Then, through hybridization or grafting, subspecies adapted to the principles of that world can be gradually created.

This is actually much cheaper than the complete energy storage system required for magical artifact defense systems.

For wealthy wizarding territories, energy storage systems are low-cost and cost-effective, while for poorer wizarding territories, they are high-cost and low-cost.

Furthermore, the Tianjiang River region has a well-developed aquatic botany industry due to the need to maintain waterways. The two top local academies and hundreds of related wizarding colleges all have related research, so their accumulation in the field of breeding is not weak, and they also have corresponding supply chains and industrial chains. That’s why President Fula attaches so much importance to the opening ceremony of Rose Building.

Unfortunately, she was disappointed that these things were only at this level.

Of course, with more time, it is believed that they can be developed to a higher level, but the interdimensional war is constantly increasing investment. The wizards at Joseph’s Reed Lodge were discussing and shifting blame.

“Yes, that second-circle magical creature’s mobility is just too strong. When we tested it, we used ground-walking magical creatures and aquatic magical creatures from the waterways, so our Reed Forest system didn’t adapt. But in wartime, we certainly can’t use just one Reed Forest system, so this isn’t a real flaw, and everyone shouldn’t worry too much about it.” “

Indeed, if we could add a no-flying magic array, it would be perfect. It would just be a little more expensive.”

Meanwhile, Locke received a message from Terence.

“Lord Augustine, we’re ready. The magical plant weapons you asked us to equip are also installed. Shall we activate the summoning array to summon the flock of Stonewing Evil Birds?”

Locke said, “Alright. We don’t need to follow the levels of the summoning array in the shop step by step. Let’s go with our own pace and strategy. Summon a thousand Stonewing Evil Birds at the same time, then the Stonewing Evil Bird Commander Group, and then the Stonewing Evil Bird King. We’ll realistically test the performance of our magical plant weapons. If possible, we can test the combat power of our Great Green Leaf Dragon Sparrow Formation Group to the greatest extent possible, so we can activate the summoning array as much as possible and summon as many Stonewing Evil Birds as possible later.”

The witch Peach Garden laughed during the call, “Even our Silver Peach Garden headquarters doesn’t have such good testing conditions. I didn’t expect our rival, Olayer, to go to such lengths. They actually set up such a large venue for us to test.”

Wizard Terence was a little nervous.

“I wonder what the outcome will be.”

On the other side, Witch Rose and Wizard Joshua observed the situation. She noticed that the magical plant weapons designed by the more famous shop alliances were actually not up to the level of Olayer’s top designers. This meant that Olayer had subtly surpassed the level of the entire generation of breeders along the Tianjiang River in magical plant cultivation.

Witch Rose wore a relaxed smile.

“Joshua, according to your data calculations, isn’t now the best time for us to conduct weapon testing?”

“Let’s use our magical plant weapons to wipe out all these test model creatures in one go. With my tricolor rose darts and the magical plants designed by your excellent designers, let’s announce the true arrival of our era.”

“Within half an hour of our testing, all these magical flying creatures will fall to the ground. Just like we tested before, including that Abyssal Spine Dragon!”

“Joshua, can we begin? I can’t wait!”

Wizard Joshua was constantly calculating the formulas in his hands.

“Wait, we need to wait. According to my calculations, there are still a lot of other shops’ magical plant weapons that haven’t finished testing. Now is not the best time to make a move. Wait a little longer.”

The Stonewing Evil Bird King, having repeatedly gained an advantage and unable to break the magical chains around its neck, began to mock from the sky, crying out to the wizards below.

Just as the wizards were feeling speechless and unsure of what to say, suddenly a thin beam of lightning, as thin as a hair, pierced through the Stonewing Evil Bird King. Immediately afterwards, countless bolts of lightning fell, following the thin beam of lightning directly onto the Stonewing Evil Bird King. Before the Stonewing Demon King could react, it was struck by countless Attila’s lightning chains, its body paralyzed, and it plummeted from the sky.

All the wizards present were startled, many not even realizing what had happened before the Demon King was brought down. At that moment, the wizards saw 110 Great Green Leaf Dragonflies appear in the sky. Since the main enemy was in the air, all 100 Great Green Leaf Dragonflies were equipped with enchanted scrolls; ten were Attila’s lightning chain annihilation type, and ten others were equipped with [Hostility Detection Scrolls] made by the wizard Terence. They were also equipped with [Multi-Eyed Pineapple], using the [Multi-Eyed Pineapple]’s allergic effects to control some magical plant weapons purchased on-site.

The ten reconnaissance-type Great Green Leaf Dragonflies, through the allergic network formed by the Multi-Eyed Pineapple, exchanged information, sharing the specific aerial coordinates of all detected hostile targets. The remaining 100 Great Green Leaf Dragonflies frantically fired Attila’s lightning chains at the surrounding Stonewing Demon King flock.

Chains of Attila lightning exploded in mid-air, transforming into streaks of lightning that leaped across the airborne Stonewing Beasts.

One by one, the Stonewing Beasts plummeted from the sky.

Douglas had optimized his Attila Lightning Chain enchantment scroll, making the Attila Lightning Chain significantly more powerful than before, and it also had a lock-on mode. This involved first firing a tiny, hair-thin beam of lightning, using its speed and low energy consumption to pierce the target, then using the focused nature of lightning magic to lock onto it, ensuring a perfect hit.

The Beast King had been tricked in this way; once locked on in the first attack, it had no chance to dodge the hundred Attila Lightning Chains.

This was the focused nature of lightning magic.

At this moment, the ferocious Stonewing Beasts clearly hadn’t expected that they, who had previously controlled the offensive rhythm, would now be in control. The wizards below were primarily armed defensively, and even their offensive weapons were ground-based, posing little threat to the sky, with few flying magical plant weapons.

One hundred Great Azure-Leaf Dragonflies, manipulated by Locke using a monocle-like device resembling a multi-eyed pineapple, traced a graceful arc through the sky, bypassing the numerous but ultimately worthless flock of Stonewing Evil Birds. With their exaggerated maneuverability, they circled the flock with an even smaller radius as the Stonewing Evil Birds turned in the sky, then slipped behind the protected leaders of the Stonewing Evil Birds. The leaders of the Stonewing Evil Birds, shifting their vision, were immediately filled with panic as they discovered the Great Azure-Leaf Dragonflies behind them, unleashing their dragon might, flying like bluebirds and green dragons, frightening the flock into a state of fear before the battle even began.

The next moment, bolts of Attila’s lightning bolts shot out, shooting down all the Stonewing Evil Bird leaders.

It’s worth noting that during this attack, three Great Azure-Leaf Dragonflies did not use Attila’s lightning bolts, as each Great Azure-Leaf Dragonfly could only carry ten bolts, which had already been used up in previous attacks.

Therefore, the three that used Attila’s lightning bolts were equipped with the Reed Jungle System.

These three Great Green Leaf Dragonflies each carried a Multi-Eyed Pineapple. Each Multi-Eyed Pineapple has five eyes; three of these eyes had already been used to connect to the Single-Mirror Multi-Eyed Pineapple Manipulator, the Great Green Leaf Dragonflies themselves, and other Multi-Eyed Pineapples on other Great Green Leaf Dragonflies.

The remaining two eyes could be connected to two magical plants.

Locke then connected two magical plant defense systems to these three Great Green Leaf Dragonflies, using the eyes on the three Great Green Leaf Dragonflies to mount the Reed Jungle System. The sentry reeds vibrated continuously to pinpoint the enemy’s location, and then the Water Arrow Reed Jungle launched water arrows, shooting down a Stonewing Evil Bird Leader.

This time, because the Reed Jungle was mounted on the Great Green Leaf Dragonflies, it no longer had the disadvantage of being unable to move and passively defend itself.

The wizards then noticed that all these magical plants originated from the Silver Peach Garden.

That alliance of the largest magical plant retailers along the Tianjiang River, an alliance that had left a deep impression on everyone,

now left a new and profound impression.

Locke controlled the Great Green Leaf Dragonflies through a monocle-like manipulator worn over his right eye. In truth, this manipulator was insufficient to control so many magical plants, but being a botanical wizard, he could replace ten wizard manipulators single-handedly.

Locke addressed the wizards, “Gentlemen, our Silver Peach Garden has returned. We have never abandoned the Tianjiang River region; it remains our most important area.”
