White broth flowed straight down, subtly distorting the surrounding space.
Roar!
A Black Iron grade Knife Fish had just unleashed its skill, unfortunately missing Chen Shu and the other who had already vanished.
It now gazed at the broth dripping from above, appearing utterly unconcerned.
Clearly, it detected no threat from it.
Drip!
The broth landed on its blade-like body and immediately spread.
The next second, the Knife Fish's eyes widened in confusion, and it froze in place.
"My body is disappearing?"
The part of its body just covered by the broth had turned completely transparent, as if it had never existed.
In the blink of an eye, the disappearing section spread to its entire body.
A Black Iron grade Knife Fish vanished from existence without even a whimper, leaving no trace behind.
At this moment, the beast army showed no significant reaction. The demise of one beast caused no ripples whatsoever.
The white broth, with no loss, smoothly merged into the seawater and dissipated.
The next second, centered on the broth, a terrifying toxin erupted!
The closest dozen or so beasts instantly vanished, as if wiped away by a hand, without any sign of struggle.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of beasts further away suffered the same fate, disappearing without a trace…
Finally, more and more beasts sensed something was wrong and instinctively avoided the location of the poisonous broth.
Boom, boom, boom!
The once orderly beast army descended into chaos, its formation becoming extremely scattered, causing a minor disturbance.
Roar!
A Silver Lord sensed something amiss and pushed through the beast horde, intending to investigate.
While the beast army consisted mostly of ordinary beasts, there were also Lord creatures mixed in, as battles required beasts for command.
As the Silver Lord approached the incident site, its eyes widened instantly, seeming to perceive impending danger.
The next second, its body was forcefully erased, also perishing at this location…
Meanwhile, the spread of the toxin accelerated, beginning to reach further out.
Within a minute, thousands of beasts were forcibly erased, perishing mysteriously within the horde…
Boom, boom, boom—
For a time, the beast army became even more chaotic.
And the Lords who came to investigate the situation perished one after another, even many Lords met a bizarre end…
Witnessing this, naturally, no beast dared to approach and began to flee in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of beasts had fallen here,
And as the beasts perished, the toxin seemed to grow, its spread becoming even more terrifying!
"This is too monstrous?"
From afar, Chen Shu and the other stood thousands of meters away.
In the distant beast army, it was as if an invisible grim reaper was wielding a scythe, madly harvesting beast after beast.
While the visual effect was not as spectacular as a nuclear bomb, it possessed a chilling terror and dread.
The beasts simply vanishing silently was far too bizarre…
"Naturally."
Da Li licked his lips, saying with confidence,
"My Da Li Broth initially had a small range, but if it devours more creatures, its spread speed will greatly increase, thus devouring more creatures, and so on, a vicious cycle…"
"…"
Chen Shu asked, "Is there a limit?"
"Yes."
Da Li shrugged and said, "But I don't know where its limit lies, though it can devour at least tens of millions of beasts."
"…"
Chen Shu remained silent, "Is this really food?"
"Yes, although it's a little poisonous, it's still food in the end."
"…"
As the two spoke, tens of thousands of beasts in front had already disappeared…
Roar!
At this moment, a King Lord grade Giant Python appeared, its powerful pressure scattering outwards, forcefully quieting the beast army.
Its gaze was cold as it moved to the front of the beasts, preparing to investigate the anomaly.
But as soon as it approached, its scales began to emit bursts of white mist, as if being corroded by the air.
"Hmm?"
The Giant Python's expression stiffened, then it unleashed a defensive skill, resisting the corrosive effect of the airborne toxin.
"Poisonous?"
It immediately identified the cause of the beast army's chaos.
But even knowing the reason, it was powerless to stop it at this moment.
"Aooooo—"
Every second, a large number of beasts were vanishing mysteriously.
The remaining living beasts were filled with fear, fleeing towards the distance.
The toxin's spread was too fast, covering thousands of meters in the blink of an eye, and it continued to spread further.
The King Lord grade creature attempted to cast a skill or two, but their effect was negligible.
It could withstand the toxin itself but could not stop its spread, only watching helplessly.
"No, I must inform the Shark Emperor…"
The King Lord Giant Python realized the gravity of the situation and turned to leave the incident site.
At this moment, the five Great Beast Emperors were rushing over desperately.
But unfortunately, due to Chen Shu's previous actions, it would still take about ten minutes to reach this location.
"Roar!"
The beasts, with terror on their faces, desperately tried to distance themselves from this place.
But being Black Iron grade, their speed was too slow; they simply couldn't outrun the toxic death zone.
The initial toxin range was only a thousand meters, but it quickly expanded to ten thousand, thirty thousand, fifty thousand meters…
It was like a monster with no growth limit, devouring the lives of beasts to strengthen itself.
"The toxin is getting stronger…"
Higher-grade beasts sensed the crisis of their lives and decisively abandoned the other beasts, starting to flee…
Under duress, the advance of the beast army had to be forcibly halted, and they began to focus on escaping…
"Add some spice…"
Just then, Chen Shu, who was watching from afar, suddenly said.
"What?"
Da Li turned to look, "Don't get too close to the poison zone ahead, I'm not sure if it's harmful to humans."
"It's fine, I'll just throw in some stuff…"
Chen Shu grinned, "Since they sent both of us, I should contribute something, right?"
With that, he took out a bottle of blue potion.
"This is?"
Da Li's expression stiffened, a hint of confusion in his eyes. He didn't seem to have seen this color much before…
"Attraction Potion… also known as Taunt Potion."
Chen Shu grinned, "I used it during my freshman year military training, the scene…"
