Chapter 741
The entire army was wiped out
The story of how the Peach Tree Fairy fed medicine to Yan Shouyi's poisoned soldiers sounds long, but in reality, it only took less than ten seconds.
Upon seeing this, Xu Bo'an couldn't help but marvel at how the little peach tree spirit beneath him truly possessed abilities that far exceeded his expectations!
Within a quarter of an hour, the poisoned soldiers gradually regained their senses. Seeing this, Xu Bo'an said to the peach tree, "Peach Tree Fairy, they have now regained their senses and can be released!"
Upon hearing the instructions of the Mountain God, the Peach Tree Fairy then withdrew all her vines.
The crisis on Yan Shouyi's side has been resolved, and Xu Bo'an can no longer interfere too much now.
With the Peach Tree Fairy's task completed, Xu Bo'an reached into the Bonsai World and placed the peach tree back into his palm, returning it to its original place.
The Peach Tree Fairy pouted, somewhat disgruntled, when she saw herself back in the same spot. "Grandpa Mountain God," she said, "that was so much fun! I haven't had enough! Why are we back here again? Please take me to play some more!"
Xu Bo'an found the Peach Tree Fairy quite adorable and said, "Peach Tree Fairy, this mission is over. I'll take you on the next mission!"
Upon hearing the words of the Mountain God, the Peach Tree Fairy immediately became dejected and said, "Grandpa Mountain God, I finally managed to transform into human form and was able to follow you and show off my skills, but it ended before I could even unleash one-tenth of my power. It's so boring!"
Xu Bo'an had been in a hurry to take the Peach Tree Fairy to help Yan Shouyi out of the crisis, and hadn't had time to ask what new skills the Peach Tree Fairy had gained after fully transforming into human form. Now that the matter was resolved, upon hearing what the Peach Tree Fairy said, Xu Bo'an calmly asked her, "Peach Tree Fairy, now that you have fully transformed into human form, you said you only used less than ten percent of your power. Does that mean your power has increased after transforming into human form?"
Upon hearing the Mountain God's question, the Peach Tree Fairy perked up immediately and began to speak eloquently: "Mountain God, after I fully transformed into human form, I can freely use my vines to attack enemies anywhere. Not only has my power increased significantly, but my life perception and healing abilities have also improved considerably. I can have a keen sense of soil and water, and I can perceive changes in the underground environment through 'touch.' I can communicate with the roots of any plant to obtain information."
Not only that, after I transform, I can also control the flowering period of myself or the plants around me, and even affect the local climate, such as bringing spring earlier than expected.
We peach trees have strict requirements for low temperatures. After transforming into human form, we are extremely sensitive to temperature changes. I can regulate the temperature of the environment and adapt to different climates through my own abilities.
I can also use magic to purify pollution, dispel evil spirits, and have the ability to foresee danger, among other things.
Having these skills not only helps Grandpa Mountain God govern this land, but also allows him to travel freely, no longer bound to this place. It couldn't be more wonderful!
Xu Bo'an was overjoyed to hear what Tao Shu said. With her stunningly beautiful appearance and powerful skills, Tao Shu perfectly combined "beauty and wildness," making it incredibly easy for her to deal with enemies. She was truly a powerful assistant to him!
Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an said, "Since you have grown so powerful now, from this day forward I will order you to help me protect this land. What do you say?"
The peach tree was overjoyed to hear that the mountain god had granted it such great power, and immediately said, "Then doesn't that mean I can roam freely throughout this mountain forest? Thank you so much, mountain god! I'm finally free!"
The peach tree now seemed like a happy little sprite with freedom. Xu Bo'an looked at her with great joy and said, "Peach Tree Fairy, aren't you being too happy too soon? I asked you to help me protect this forest, not to go and eat, drink, and have fun!"
The Peach Tree Fairy said, "Grandpa Mountain God, now that I have such great power, protecting the forest is naturally a piece of cake. I will definitely help you manage this forest well and share your burdens. Of course, while easily completing my task, I can also enjoy sightseeing along the way."
It has to be said that this peach tree fairy is really mischievous and cute. Xu Bo'an is growing to like his little fur god more and more. Not only is she very powerful, but she is also pleasing to the eye.
Xu Bo'an said with a smile, "You little peach tree, you really don't interfere with anything. Anyway, I only ask that you protect this forest well, and I won't interfere with anything else!"
The Peach Tree Fairy said, "Thank you for your kindness, Grandpa Mountain God!"
Meanwhile, after the Peach Tree Fairy flew away, those who had been poisoned by the Shadow Spider were cured and fully regained consciousness.
The group led by Commander Suo on the other side was truly shocked by the Peach Tree Fairy's actions. They originally thought that the Peach Tree Fairy was a blessing from heaven for them, but they did not expect that the Peach Tree Fairy was not just a beautiful woman at all, but an anomaly that could release countless vines from her body.
After pulling their entire team dozens of meters away, and then binding Yan Shouyi's group with vines, the people in the main team initially thought that the Peach Tree Fairy was going to wipe out Yan Shouyi's team in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, she helped the poisoned people in Yan Shouyi's team to detoxify, and then flew away.
They were all surprised that Yan Shouyi possessed a flying artifact. The Peach Tree Fairy's incredible maneuver left the members of Suo's team completely baffled.
They deeply suspected that Yan Shouyi's team must have some extraordinary people helping him, and felt that Yan Shouyi was the chosen one.
Yan Shouyi was overjoyed to see that the soldiers had regained their senses, so he led his troops to pursue the enemy and wanted to wipe out Suo Bazong's army in one fell swoop.
Suo Ba Zong's troops didn't have much fighting power. They were just regular soldiers of the imperial court, and they had connections with various forces outside. They could usually get their hands on some strange and unusual things or carry out some sneak attacks. This time, they thought they could succeed in one fell swoop, but they didn't expect to run into a tough opponent. Moreover, it was a team with the help of extraordinary people. How could they be a match for such chosen ones? So they quickly retreated and tried to escape to their own camp.
With the Mountain God as their backer, Yan Shouyi's team was already in high spirits. If they hadn't been disturbed by the strange poison earlier, they would have definitely been able to rout Suo's team.
Now that the poison in the soldiers' bodies has been neutralized, their morale has returned to its previous state. Seeing the enemy retreating in panic, they took advantage of the victory and split their troops into two groups to chase after them. In less than ten minutes, they surrounded Yan Shouyi's troops and Suo Bazong's troops.
Suo's troops had just witnessed that Yan's troops had divine assistance, so no one dared to resist. They were only fighting to make a living, not to die.
One of the soldiers shouted, "I surrender! I don't want to die! My mother is waiting for me to come home and get married!" "I surrender too! My wife and children are waiting for me to come home!" another soldier said.
Another soldier shouted, "I surrender too! I have an elderly father and mother to take care of at home."
With these people leading the way, soon after, a large number of people in the ranks began to surrender.
Yan Shouyi was overjoyed to see this. As expected, the Mountain God was extraordinary. With his help, the entire enemy force could be made to surrender quickly without losing a single soldier. This was the most dangerous and the fastest victory he had ever achieved since he started his uprising.
Yan Shouyi was overjoyed. The commander beside him looked at the surrendered soldiers and shouted to them, "Soldiers, surrendering is not a sign of cowardice. The court is in turmoil, and the officials are only concerned with their own profit, treating the people like dirt. People are living in misery. Even if you swear to serve the court to the death, what will you get in the end? Our Lord Yan has a wise man to guide you. If you follow Lord Yan, you will not have to worry about food and clothing. Moreover, the food and clothing you eat and wear will be the best you have never seen before. Why not join Lord Yan in an uprising to bring peace to the world and create a peaceful and prosperous world for our families!"
After the commander finished speaking these heartfelt words, Yan Shouyi's troops shouted in unison, "Peace reigns throughout the land! Peace reigns throughout the land! Peace reigns throughout the land..."
The soldiers under Commander Su were buzzing with discussion. One of them said, "I've heard before that the provisions carried by Lord Yan's troops are something we've never seen before. It's quite novel."
"Yes, yes, I've heard that too. It's said that their horses eat different food than ours. Our horses eat grass that we have to find ourselves, while their horses eat a kind of granular stuff that smells really good."
"Yes, yes, it's said that these things were all gifts from that divine being!"
"With such a divine person guiding him, Lord Yan's path is absolutely correct. We are absolutely right to follow him in raising an uprising!"
After discussing and analyzing for a while, everyone increasingly felt that Yan Shouyi's path was the most correct one.
Having analyzed all this clearly, Suo's men no longer looked worried and joined Yan Shouyi's group in shouting, "Peace reigns throughout the land! Peace reigns throughout the land..."
Yan Shouyi is currently conducting a righteous brainwashing campaign.
Meanwhile, Commander Suo was having a pleasant conversation with Mr. Ji in the tent when a soldier suddenly came to report, "Commander Suo, something has happened! Our poison has been neutralized by the enemy."
General Suo thought he could rest easy with Mr. Ji's poison, but he didn't expect it to be countered so quickly. General Suo angrily said, "Quickly explain to me who this person is who can cure this deadly poison!"
The soldier reported with trepidation, "It was... a woman with a bright and beautiful appearance. She could release countless vines from her body. After being cured of the poison, she flew away. I don't know who she is!"
Upon hearing the soldier's words, Commander So shouted incredulously, "Do you know what you're saying? How could you make up such a lie?"
The soldier quickly said, "Commander Suo, everything I said is true, it really...it really is true..."
Suo Bazong felt that the soldier's report was unclear. Before the soldier could finish speaking, Suo Bazong got up and quickly walked out of the tent, riding his horse straight to the battlefield.
Mr. Ji was quite puzzled when he heard that his poison had been neutralized. There was very little of this poison left, and it was said that over the years, almost no one except his master could neutralize it. Who was this expert who could neutralize such a strange poison? Could it be that his master had reappeared in the martial arts world?
Filled with doubt, Mr. Ji leaped onto his horse and galloped off closely behind Captain Suo.
When Commander Suo and his men arrived at the battlefield, they saw the enemy leading their soldiers toward their camp. Commander Suo thought to himself, "This is bad."
As the commander of this force, how could he stand by and watch his army be wiped out? How could he possibly suppress the bandits with just himself? He couldn't care less about his own life and hurriedly chased after Yan Shouyi.
The soldiers behind Yan Shouyi noticed this and quickly stopped him, then ordered another soldier to report to Yan Shouyi, who was at the front of the column.
A short while later, Yan Shouyi received the message and gave a stop gesture to the soldiers behind him, and the column stopped instantly.
When Suo Ba Zong saw the troops stop, he shouted at Yan Shouyi, "What despicable means did you use to subdue my entire army?"
Yan Shouyi chuckled and looked at Captain Suo, saying, "Heh, despicable? When it comes to despicable, I can't compare to you. You didn't follow the rules, sending people to secretly lie in ambush beforehand. You failed to kill me, but instead wounded my soldiers. You even used poison gas to poison my soldiers, causing them to kill each other. You're the despicable one, aren't you?"
Upon hearing Yan Shouyi's words and glancing at his men, Commander Suo was furious. He shouted at his former soldiers, "Soldiers, I led you out to suppress bandits, and this is how you suppress bandits? You've turned against us so easily? We are the regular army of the imperial court. Do you really want to submit to these bandits? It's not too late for us to break through the encirclement together. Soldiers, listen to my command and defeat the bandits!"
Commander Suo's words were meant to boost the morale of his soldiers, hoping they would be roused by his enthusiasm. However, his impassioned speech failed to move a single soldier. The soldiers surrounded by Yan Shouyi's army stood motionless, showing no intention of resistance.
Commander Suo was furious at the sight of the motionless soldiers. He then shouted some inspiring words to boost morale, but the soldiers remained unmoved.
Yan Shouyi said, "Commander Suo, it's no use. The masses have discerning eyes. Everyone is on the side of justice. Don't make any more futile struggles!" (End of Chapter)
