Chapter 651: Chapter 192: Ginseng Dragon Whisker_2
And Du Tiechuan’s released swordsmanship, military art, and so on, also left a profound imprint on the battlefield. Even traces alone could offer insights into the secrets of his cultivation, providing much inspiration to those with high understanding.
“Currently, most of the soldiers are still recuperating, their bodies weak, and their combat power at a low.”
“However, the Golden Core Level generals are not included in this category; they can go out of the camp first to scavenge the battlefield!”
Ning Zhuo quickly grasped the current situation.
Military order— clean up the battlefield!
Soon, after dealing with the disputes between the two Golden Core generals, a military order was issued to the entire army from the Commander’s Mansion.
The content of the military order was very simple: achievements would be measured by the amount of spoils of war collected.
All spoils belong to Liangzhu Country, and no soldier or officer is allowed to keep any for personal use. If discovered, they would be dealt with by military law.
After reviewing the associated exchange rules, Ning Zhuo too felt his heart stir.
“According to the military order, in this period, all my military exploits can be exchanged for corresponding military supplies.”
“Even if it’s not available in the military supplies, I can immediately report it. Then, the Royal Capital of Liangzhu Country will regularly organize transport of supplies and escort the rewards.”
That afternoon, Ning Zhuo followed Liu Er and Zhang Hei, left the main army camp, and entered the previous battlefield.
The battlefield was vast, with the nearest mountain several miles away. Also, the mountains close by were almost all damaged; some were broken midway, some peaks smashed onto other mountains, and some were left with just a part of their base.
Numerous large and small rocks covered almost the entire battlefield, mixed with masses of plant debris, as well as the corpses and remains of animals and cultivators.
After so many days, these bodies had already begun to rot and stink, filling the battlefield with a slight smell of decay.
However, as long as the mountain breeze blew, it would disperse the stench, allowing the cultivators entering the field to breathe fresh air.
Not only that, but there was also a large area near Dragon King Giant Wood Mountain.
This area’s soil was yellow-brown, although uneven, it was fertile Yellow Earth compared to piles of rocks, and there were many holes as well.
As for Dragon King Giant Wood Mountain, its structure was affected by the previous great battle, leaving only sixty percent intact. This remaining part was still enveloped in divine light, protecting it.
Liu Er and other Golden Core Cultivators cautiously kept their distance. Who knows if the remnants of Dragon King Giant Wood Mountain could still unleash an army.
Of course, unless the Ginseng Whisker Dragon King appears, it’s difficult to change the overall situation here.
Ning Zhuo, Liu Er, and Zhang Hei navigated through the battlefield and quickly saw a ginseng dragon whisker, rooted amidst the rubble, resembling a large earth-yellow python, limply lying on the ground.
But, when it sensed the presence of Ning Zhuo and the others, it immediately perked up.
The entire body stood upright, reaching up to eighteen meters, its aura proud, possessing Golden Core Level strength, and still retaining the essence of Divinity Transformation Level.
Liu Er took the lead, wielding the Xuanhuang Sword, deploying military art, and enhancing himself.
He proactively approached and consecutively cast two spells, both enhancing his defense.
Bang, bang, bang.
The ginseng dragon whisker struck Liu Er, producing a series of dull thuds.
Liu Er’s entire body was enveloped in a yellow light, his defense strong, but soon he was hammered into the pile of rocks.
Liu Er simultaneously defended and launched his offensive moves.
After a moment, he returned to the side of Zhang Hei and Ning Zhuo, breathing heavily and slightly fatigued.
He had gauged the capabilities of the ginseng dragon whisker.
This ginseng dragon whisker was much longer than what was evident to them.
Most of its body was threaded through the stones and rooted into the soil, drawing nutrients to sustain itself.
The ginseng dragon whisker itself did not have many offensive tactics but mainly relied on pounding, sweeping, and entangling.
But each of its hits was forceful and heavy, its reflexes extremely sharp, and even body cultivators like Liu Er struggled to get close.
The most critical factor was the regeneration ability of the ginseng dragon whisker.
Its regeneration ability was extremely strong; many of the injuries Liu Er had inflicted healed within moments.
“To cut down and harvest such a ginseng dragon whisker is not easy at all,” exclaimed Liu Er, feeling the challenge.
Zhang Hei rubbed his hands with eagerness: “Never mind that, let’s just do it.”
Impulsive by nature, he immediately swung his Black Snake Spear and charged forward to engage with the ginseng dragon whisker.
He possessed Heavenly Gifted Python Sinew, and practiced the Black Wave Sky Technique. Together, these made his strength increasingly fierce the longer he fought.
Suddenly, the ginseng dragon whisker and Zhang Hei’s Black Snake Spear were locked in combat, both sides proving hard to separate.
In Liu Er’s eyes, which reflected the battle: “If it goes on like this, even if the third brother wins and cuts down the ginseng dragon whisker, he will be greatly exhausted.”
Here, the consumption wasn’t just of Zhang Hei’s Mana, physical strength, weapon durability, etc., but also of the ginseng dragon whisker.
The three had come here to clean up the battlefield.
But continuing such fierce combat, even if they eventually captured the ginseng dragon whisker, it would because of the intense fighting, greatly deplete its essence, significantly reducing its quality.
“In such a situation, we can only rely on you, the strategist,” Liu Er smiled slightly and looked towards Ning Zhuo, “You must have a way, right?”
Although Ning Zhuo was only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, his combat capability far exceeded most Golden Core Cultivators, and Liu Er had long treated him as an equal.
And since they met, Ning Zhuo had always performed stunningly, making Liu Er very confident in him!
Ning Zhuo had been using his Divine Sense to observe the ginseng dragon whisker, also employing some spells for detection.
“Hmm…”
“Let me try first.”
