"Want to go big?"
Everyone's eyes lit up. The spoils they had already gained were beyond the reach of other teams.
Hearing Zhang Ergou and Ding Jie's intention to expand their gains, they wondered what good idea Zhang Ergou would come up with this time.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhang Ergou didn't beat around the bush and directly announced his plan. Su Dan Novel Network.
The group was already quite in sync during their previous cooperation, and they knew what to do without Zhang Ergou's instructions.
Disciples who cultivated the earth element diligently continued to expand the traps, while those of other elements were also busy, using their respective spells to increase the lethality of the traps.
Not long after, a giant trap several times larger than before was formed.
"Er Gou, how about we use fire this time?"
Lin Yichen walked up to Zhang Ergou, looked at the sky, and suggested.
"Fire?"
Burning them was indeed a good method, but the operational difficulty was too great. If they could lure all the demonic beasts into the trap, how to kill them would be up to everyone.
"Er Gou, have you noticed that there's a kind of black stone appearing in the traps we dug before?"
As he spoke, Lin Yichen pulled Zhang Ergou to a trap and pointed to the black stone.
"What is this, is there anything special about it?"
He had noticed it, but Zhang Ergou hadn't paid much attention. This kind of black stone was everywhere and didn't seem very useful.
"You wouldn't know about this black stone. I just saw earlier that the fire element cultivators' flames ignited them, and their fire burned fiercely and was particularly long-lasting."
"I remember that the flammable stones they used in refining were these black ones."
"You're saying this black stone can be ignited and burns for a long time?"
Zhang Ergou stared at Lin Yichen with anticipation in his eyes.
"Er Gou, why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Yichen felt a little uncomfortable under Zhang Ergou's gaze.
"Don't mind the details, just tell me if you got it."
Upon seeing Lin Yichen nod affirmatively, Zhang Ergou suddenly gathered everyone.
"I have a bold idea, let's lure all those demonic beasts here and catch them all in one go."
Everyone was stunned by Zhang Ergou's words. They had just talked about a big move, but this one was too big.
"Junior Brother Ergou, are you sure you're not joking?"
Ding Jie's expression was clearly full of doubt. That was tens of thousands of demonic beasts.
Even though they had managed to kill thousands of them with Zhang Ergou's strategy, and combined with what the disciples and elders on the front lines had killed,
There were still no small number of demonic beasts charging madly. Zhang Ergou actually boasted that he wanted to catch tens of thousands of demonic beasts in one go.
He really didn't know if this kid had a real plan, or if he had gotten a little carried away after killing thousands of demonic beasts.
Did he no longer take the demonic beasts seriously?
However, when Zhang Ergou laid out the entire plan, not only Ding Jie, but everyone else's eyes lit up. If this plan succeeded, the disaster of the demonic beasts would be completely resolved.
Everyone no longer hesitated. Zhang Ergou first led everyone to survey the terrain of the entire mountain hollow.
When they confirmed that the entire mountain hollow was filled with that kind of black stone, smiles never left their faces.
However, although they confirmed that the entire mountain hollow was composed of this black stone, there were still many problems in executing Zhang Ergou's plan.
First of all, igniting all the black stones in the entire mountain hollow would require a large number of fire element cultivators.
Among their thousand people, there were only a hundred fire element cultivators. This huge workload would take at least ten to half a month, even if they ate spiritual replenishment pills like candy.
By then, let alone burning the demonic beast horde, who knew what might happen.
To complete this plan, they needed to find a large number of fire element cultivators, which would require them to seek help from the disciples and elders who were directly confronting the demonic beast horde.
No sooner said than done, Zhang Ergou did not delay. After arranging for everyone, he directly rushed towards the center of the battlefield.
"Er Gou, why are you here?"
Chunyang Sanren, Chi Yu, and others looked at Zhang Ergou together. They all knew that Zhang Ergou was with the second echelon, ambushing in the northwest direction.
Now that only Zhang Ergou had returned alone, had the second echelon suffered the same fate as the first?
The elders dared not think further, their faces turning pale and somber.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhang Ergou knew that they had misunderstood. He quickly explained why he had come to seek help.
The expressions of the elders improved considerably. At this moment, they noticed that Zhang Ergou's clothes were clean and showed no signs of fighting with demonic beasts.
Looking at themselves, not one of them was not covered in blood and grime, looking like a god of slaughter.
But when they heard that Zhang Ergou said they had killed thousands of demonic beasts, all the elders were so shocked they couldn't speak.
"Er Gou, are you sure you really killed thousands of demonic beasts?" Chi Yu was still somewhat doubtful.
"What he said is true. This kid is not lying."
Tian Dao Lao Ren nodded, increasingly feeling that this kid had infinite potential.
Every corner of the entire scene was within the range of his divine sense. What Zhang Ergou and the others were doing naturally did not escape Tian Dao Lao Ren's detection.
Upon receiving Tian Dao Lao Ren's confirmation, the elders were even more astonished.
They had fought desperately, and were too tired to even recover their spiritual energy. How many demonic beasts had they killed?
Zhang Ergou, with only a thousand people, had managed to kill thousands of demonic beasts in such a short time. It was impossible not to be surprised.
Zhang Ergou then carefully explained what he had done to Tian Dao Lao Ren and the others.
"You mean you want to lure more demonic beasts there. What are the chances of success?" Tian Dao Lao Ren didn't give an immediate answer, but asked back.
"If everyone cooperates properly, about seventy percent."
Zhang Ergou didn't speak too definitively. After mingling for so long, he was no longer the naive youngster he once was.
"How do you need us to cooperate?"
After hearing Zhang Ergou's explanation, Tian Dao Lao Ren thought that if Zhang Ergou and the others could continue to expand this advantage, the threat on the front lines would be greatly reduced.
However, this not only required extremely precise timing but also the extremely dangerous task of luring the demonic beasts.
Zhang Ergou and the others had only lured low-level demonic beasts before, who were easily angered and had low intelligence. But as the number of low-level demonic beasts decreased, the high-level demonic beasts remaining on the battlefield were much more cunning than the low-level ones.
To minimize losses, Tian Dao Lao Ren needed to consider all aspects, rather than letting Zhang Ergou act recklessly.
"Elder Tian Dao, I'm here to borrow people. To ignite all the black stones in that mountain hollow, we need at least a thousand fire element disciples."
"Wait, why do you need so many fire element disciples?"
Zhang Ergou had just told them about their feat of killing demonic beasts, so why did he need to borrow a thousand fire element disciples?
"And what is this black stone you mentioned?"
