As they gradually moved north, the lush pastures gradually became sparser and shorter, eventually turning into ordinary weeds. Along the way, Elsa frequently stopped to gather herbs, and Chu Feiyue then realized that Elsa was not only a near-expert alchemist but also an expert gardener (which was not unusual for a grassland elf) and a high-level tailor. Although the lifespan of grassland elves was much longer than that of humans, Chu Feiyue still wanted to exclaim that this was truly a multi-talented girl.
After a grueling morning of long-distance travel and five waves of wild horse attacks, they finally entered the territory of the Thrips Mountains.
Here, new monsters appeared: elemental creatures!
Countless water elements, as green as the dirty water that had been stagnant in sewers for a long time, dyed the entire mountain foot into a disgusting dark green.
"Polluted Thrips River Water Element: Level 25 Bronze Elite. HP: 3200. Description: Evil elemental creatures that appeared after the Thrips River was polluted, aiming to spread sewage across the entire grassland. Skills: 1. [Sewage Arrow]: Shoots a foul-smelling water arrow, with a chance to poison the target. 2. [Sewage Pit]: Enters sewage to accelerate health recovery. 3. [Water Element]: Immune to water-based attacks."
These disgusting water elements were everywhere, and wherever they went, a foul smell followed.
"Elsa, are your potions this smelly?" Chu Feiyue pinched his nose and released a powerful breeze to disperse the stench.
Elsa shook her head; the girl had been overwhelmed by the stench and couldn't speak.
Chu Feiyue didn't believe that Elsa could make something this smelly. The smell was like a mix of a sewage ditch and a pig, sheep, and cow pen, which was truly bizarre.
So bizarre that Chu Feiyue wanted to kill someone...
Because these water elements had turned Chu Feiyue into a human bulldozer, a disaster was quietly approaching.
They were water elements, and although they had some resistance to fire elements, it wasn't very high. Wherever Chu Feiyue's Burst Wind Slaughter passed, they were all evaporated.
Yes, evaporated, not killed. Perhaps the damage from Burst Wind Slaughter wasn't enough to kill these water elements, but its extreme temperature could completely evaporate their water bodies into steam and then disperse it.
However, there were too many water elements. As soon as Chu Feiyue cleared a path, new water elements quickly filled it.
It was clear that artillery attacks weren't very effective; they needed a wide-area attack spell.
"Master, Ruo Hua is looking for you." Freya, who had transformed into a staff, suddenly said to Chu Feiyue.
Miss Dictionary couldn't hear Chu Feiyue's words or speak, but she seemed to be able to communicate with Freya, who was also an unknown-level item. So now, Freya was acting as a mouthpiece for Ruo Hua.
After evaporating several sewage elements with another blast, Chu Feiyue opened the Dream Paradise and flipped to the page where Ruo Hua had written.
[Master can try using a Magic Vortex to drain the water elements from these sewage elements, but be careful.]
Ruo Hua's short sentence reminded Chu Feiyue. The essence of these sewage elements was still water elements, and if they were water elements, he could draw them in. Without the water elements that made up their bodies...
Chu Feiyue made up his mind, said hello to Qin Yue, and then spread his light wings to fly into the air. He unleashed a full-power Magic Vortex.
A colorful vortex appeared above the sewage elements, and countless elements were drawn toward Chu Feiyue. This included fire elements from the sunlight, earth elements from the mountains, and wind elements from the air, but the largest part was the water elements that made up the sewage elements' bodies.
The sewage elements within the range of the Magic Vortex visibly distorted, and their bodies gradually disintegrated.
Each disintegrated sewage element released a dense blue water element that flew into the Magic Vortex. The influx of too many water elements gradually destabilized the center of the vortex, which was the magic light ball on Chu Feiyue's chest.
"Brother, that ball! It's dangerous."
The light ball's color was becoming increasingly blue, and its shape was becoming uneven.
"Master, quickly throw that light ball away, it will explode!" Freya's anxious voice echoed in Chu Feiyue's mind.
Duh, can't you see I'm adjusting the direction?
Chu Feiyue struggled to lift the light ball toward the sky, and controlling this unstable light ball to prevent it from exploding consumed a lot of his energy, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
Finally, he successfully lifted the light ball above his head.
"Go, unleash your final light and heat." Chu Feiyue gently pushed the dangerous light ball, and it shot into the sky at a terrifying speed.
Then, the light ball suddenly emitted a dazzling light, completely overshadowing the midday sun in the sky! The brilliant blue light covered almost half of the Thrips Grassland, even crossing the Thrips Mountains to illuminate the large city of Shan Yue City on the other side.
Next, a violent energy burst from the blue light, and the glowing ball suddenly turned into a brilliant blue light column. Like a laser, the light column shattered a cloud in the sky, creating a scene that looked as if it had pierced through heaven and earth from a distance.
Finally, the brilliant blue light gradually disappeared. Except for the faint traces of the cloud in the sky, everything seemed as if it had never happened.
Chu Feiyue sighed in relief, lowered his gaze, and slowly descended to the ground. Immediately, he received a warning from the princess.
"Your actions just now have exceeded your current limits. I warn you, if you continue like this, you will be blown up by yourself! This skill is not recognized by this princess; it's like you want to commit suicide!" The princess's attitude was very strict, but Chu Feiyue felt she was concerned about him.
Chu Feiyue scratched his head and looked at the two girls who were worried about him.
"I didn't control it well just now, and I made you worry."
Qin Yue pouted and pounced, biting his neck. Chu Feiyue grimaced, enduring his sister's "care."
Elsa gave him a gentle look that said "I believe in Your Majesty" and then went to study the cores of the sewage elements that had been drained of water elements. They weren't very familiar yet, and Elsa hadn't reached the level where she would also pounce and hug him.
However, after Chu Feiyue's over-the-top actions, all the sewage elements within sight had been drained of their water elements, revealing their true forms. Now, the world was clean...
The cores of these sewage elements were beautiful small stones that occasionally flashed with a dark green light. If taken to the real world, they could be carved and polished to sell for a good price.
Without water, they no longer smelled. Chu Feiyue used Mage's Hand to pick one up and examine it closely.
The light wasn't coming from the stone but from a tiny thing inside the stone. Chu Feiyue couldn't see what it was, so he cast a [True Fantasy] on it.
"Small stone with evil voodoo: Excellent, Relic. This stone is imbued with evil voodoo, which is highly toxic."
"Voodoo?" "Voodoo!" The same word came out of both Chu Feiyue and Elsa's mouths.
"Your Majesty also recognized this as voodoo?" Elsa looked at Chu Feiyue with admiration. "I only heard about it from the Great Elder. Your Majesty is so amazing..."
"Cough, cough... It's nothing." Chu Feiyue quickly turned away and flipped open the Dream Paradise to check what voodoo was, only to find a line of text already there.
[Sorry, Master, I didn't know you were so stupid. I clearly told you to be careful... If you had thrown the gathered elements away earlier, it wouldn't have been so dangerous. I know I was wrong.]
Although you are admitting fault, why do I feel like I was wrong? Subtle annoyance.
[Well, it's in the past, I don't mind. What is this voodoo?]
[Hehe, Master is so magnanimous. Voodoo is a drug developed by troll shamans, mixed with their own shamanic power. It has various uses, such as parasitic, healing, killing, and interrogation. The one in Master's hand is called "Elemental Crusade" voodoo, which is not inherently evil. Shamans can use this voodoo, along with offerings, to summon elemental creatures from nature to help them in battle as guardians, making it a guardian-type voodoo. However, this voodoo seems to have been heavily modified by an amateur, increasing its evil aura while neglecting the abilities of the summoned elements. The evil aura inherently conflicts with the spirits of nature that shamans believe in, which is why these elements are so hard to deal with. Phew, I've said a lot, my mouth is dry. I'll go have a cup of tea... Goodbye, Master.]
Aren't you afraid the tea will wet the paper? Chu Feiyue's hand trembled, almost writing this on the book.
