——————————

Amid the chaos, from the fruits that fell into the mud, emerged pink-skinned monsters covered with bone fragments and wielding wooden weapons.

These monsters had leaves as their hair and bone fragments as their armor. As soon as they appeared, without needing any organization, they immediately charged towards any moving enemy around.

And more and more fruits were falling from the tree roots, soon outnumbering the troops present.

Facing this situation, Eldest Princess Anna disdainfully said, "The main forces, ignore these things, directly attack the overhead tree roots, and be careful not to be controlled by the red threads."

Eldest Princess Anna's order was for the elite units.

As for the miscellaneous troops that followed onto the battlefield, Princess Anna had no intention of commanding them.

The miscellaneous soldiers knew their role from the beginning, and when clearing the river, they set up defenses according to their respective situations.

Now, as the small monsters composed of fruits and bone fragments appeared, they swiftly advanced to engage.

The power of these fruit creatures was not particularly strong, just that they were numerous.

Gu Xi, who had been observing from the rear, quickly drew sketches of the defensive setups of these miscellaneous troops.

This was practical experience, the most direct answers.

Next time restarting the instance, just copy the strategies.

Gu Xi sketched the ongoing battle, noting which parts could be replicated, which could not, and what he couldn't achieve himself.

During the battle between the miscellaneous soldiers and the fruit creatures, Gu Xi noticed that when the fruit creatures were killed, they turned into saplings on the ground.

These quickly absorbed nutrients from the mud, turning into small trees about the height of a person.

These small trees also had attack capabilities.

However, they shifted from melee to becoming stationary ranged attackers.

These small trees continually shot out vine-like spikes at the miscellaneous soldiers.

If they paid enough attention, they could dodge the spikes shooting up from the ground.

But as the number of these small trees increased, the soldiers couldn't dodge them all.

At the defensive line of the soldiers, some had already started to get injured.

Meanwhile, on Anna's side, they were still on the offensive against the eight tree roots hanging from the ceiling.

Compared to the single apple tree root Gu Xi faced before, Anna and her team dealing with eight at once was a real thrill.

These roots coordinated with each other. Every time one came down, another would lift up, preparing for the next attack.

The impact from the roots striking down was incredibly strong. Previously, Gu Xi had blown the root off using a flame trap.

Eldest Princess Anna had no interest in using such means.

She arranged two different Holy Knight units to act as main and secondary tanks to draw the roots' attention.

Simultaneously, they provided cover for the Wizards and Archers' attacks.

Unlike Gu Xi's previous attempts with Skeleton Shooters and Skeleton Mages, which only dealt single points of damage...

The attacks from the followers of the Old Wizard and Archer successfully broke through Spore Cultist Charlie's defenses.

Even observing from behind, Gu Xi could see large numbers such as -10 appearing on Charlie every time.

Especially Charlie's life bar, which had now been halved.

This left Gu Xi somewhat helpless.

If he could have brought five Level 10 Undead Mages, this battle would likely be much easier.

But unfortunately, Gu Xi only considered coming in alone.

Given his current strength, when facing Spore Cultist Charlie, he could only rely on the Death Incarnation to stand in.

Gu Xi then pondered whether Shaya could join the fight, as her abilities might also penetrate Charlie's defenses.

While considering strategies against Charlie,

The Old Wizard, who hadn't acted yet, was now ready with his spell.

This Old Wizard had always caught Gu Xi's attention.

Not because the Wizard held a light-bulb-like magic staff, which was quite conspicuous.

But because since Charlie started attacking, the Old Wizard hadn't moved, merely holding his staff in contemplation.

Several times, the tree roots nearly struck the Wizard's head, only to be blocked by other powerful allies, including Eldest Princess Anna herself.

Gu Xi speculated that the Wizard was preparing a big attack.

However, having watched for quite a while with no action, Gu Xi thought he might just be there to look like a light bulb.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the Wizard acted, lifting his staff to shoot a white light at Charlie in the center of the tree roots.

Gu Xi noted this white light felt somewhat akin to the Death Incarnation's Death Dragon Breath.

The power might be slightly less, but it was evidently more enduring.

In its beam form, and since Charlie couldn't dodge, it hit Charlie head-on.

As the beam struck, the descending roots quickly retracted, seemingly to protect Charlie.

Simultaneously, Gu Xi clearly saw Charlie's life bar rapidly shrinking.

It was clear that this strike hit a critical point.

"That's the way," thought Gu Xi.

Next time when tackling the Tail King, immediately deploy the Death Incarnation.

No, the Death Incarnation needs to be further enhanced.

The current power of the Death Dragon Breath is somewhat weak, and Gu Xi wondered if there was a way to strengthen it further.

With this in mind, Gu Xi quickly noted this finding in his notebook.

At the same time, he calculated the Old Wizard's power and compared the attack's potency with the Death Dragon Breath.

One thousand life, requiring at least two uses of the Death Dragon Breath, and pondering whether the Death Incarnation could fight Charlie.

Watching the battle below, Gu Xi calculated how to better utilize the Death Incarnation.

If he had permission to act now, he'd try the Death Incarnation to see what damage the Death Dragon Breath could inflict on Charlie.

After all, only real data would let Gu Xi understand the gap between him and his enemy.

Just then, the small creatures below underwent another transformation.

The miscellaneous soldiers, after laboriously cutting down the small trees transformed from the creatures, found those felled trees undergoing yet another mutation.

This time, the tree corpses combined, forming a giant mud monster composed of wood, corpses, and silt.
