"Well … I'll try my best to help you, but I can't say for sure if the army is willing to teach you the spells," Brigadier General Blair said.
"Sure!" Mofan did not insist.
After all, many Magic Formations were similar to the formulas of some special medicines. It was impossible to teach them to outsiders.
Similar to how the Brown Rebels were able to construct a powerful Wind Warship, it did not necessarily mean they had enough Wind Mages to build a Wind Warship.
The Brown Rebels had their own Wind Magic too.
…
The Fearsome Martial Bear kept moving forward. After the Wind Warship was destroyed, the Brown Rebels could not gather more people to stop it.
Everyone began to press forward, and the Crusaders took advantage of this momentum to push deeper into the rainforest.
The rain formed a thin line between the dense forest and the boundless dark sky. Many flying beasts were flying in the air. They were the Federation's cavalry and the enemy's air force.
The area where the battle took place was completely barren. Not a single plant could survive after the bombardment of the Elemental Spells.
Meanwhile, the other half of the rainforest was denser, so thick that even the ferocious beasts could not move through it.
It was probably because the rebels had cast some kind of natural recovery magic that all the plants here had a certain degree of resistance to destructive elemental energy. Even if an Intermediate Fire or Lightning Magic were to hit them, they would still be devoured by the grey-green forest. It was like hitting a grey-green ocean.
"Mofan!" Mubai suddenly pointed at the forest in the distance.
They were currently at a relatively high altitude. As they slowly slid down the dense forest, they could see the Scorching River at the end of their line of sight!
The Scorching River had widened due to the continuous rain. The water had spread into the forest and submerged a part of the rainforest. The shorter plants were like aquatic plants at the bottom of the river.
"We can see the Scorching River now!" Mofan was overjoyed.
They had finally arrived at the Scorching River after going through all kinds of difficulties.
They initially thought they were going to take out the Black Vatican, but they did not expect to find themselves in the middle of a war between two countries.
Either way, they had finally found the Scorching River.
"Look at the river over there," Mubai continued.
At a horseshoe-shaped bend upstream of the Scorching River, one could vaguely see the water hanging upside down above the clouds. It was also there that the rain was heavier.
It didn't look like it was raining at all. It was more like there was a huge hole in the sky, and the seawater above the clouds was pouring down to the ground through this hole. The splashing water mist looked like dozens of white dragons dancing in the air.
"Wu Ku must be there!" Mofan said.
Wu Ku must have set up an ultimate Water Spell there, allowing the area east of the Andes Mountain Range to be bathed in the rain.
… …
"Da da da ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!!!"
"Puda puda puda puda ~!!!!!"
In the woods, groups of green-red demonic fireflies suddenly flew out from under those palm-sized leaves. Not only were their bodies glowing with a cold light, even their thin wings were constantly flapping, releasing insect powder that would scatter in all directions.
The rain did not seem to have any effect on the insect powder. The Demon Fireflies were not huge, yet they were still able to fly rapidly in the heavy rain.
In the beginning, there weren't many of these Demonic Fireflies, but when the Federation's army approached the forest, the entire forest was like a city in the middle of the night. Countless neon lights flickered, instantly brightening up the night.
"It's the Venomous Insect Shamans!" Brigadier General Blair's expression shifted.
They had witnessed how terrifying the Venomous Insect Shamans were, so they subconsciously felt intimidated when they saw the Poison Mages of the Andes Mountain Range.
The army did not dare to move any further, but the number of Demon Fireflies kept increasing. They kept flapping their wings. The noise they were making was enough to hurt the soldiers' eardrums. More importantly, the poisonous firefly powder was dissolving in the air …
"I don't know if you will … either way, I feel uneasy," Lt. Col. Mason suddenly spoke up.
He scratched his arm. Red fingernail marks were already visible on his arm, as he had scratched it too hard.
The woods were full of mosquitoes. Some of the poisonous flies were as tiny as sesame seeds, yet they were strong enough to make a person's skin red and swollen.
"I bet you haven't taken a shower in a month." Zhao Manyan had long been disgusted by the stench on Lt. Col. Mason smelled like animal feces, since he usually slept in the stables.
"Maybe it's a psychological factor," Mason said.
Anyone would feel their scalp turning numb when they saw so many Demon Fireflies in the woods.
"Did you see someone scratching the back of his hand until it bled?" Mo Fan pointed into the distance.
A soldier in shabby clothes was scratching the back of his left hand with his right, but his right hand was itching too. He had no choice but to scratch with his other hand. He looked like a filthy monkey, yet he did not stop scratching even when the back of his hand was bleeding.
The soldiers looked around and saw that not only the soldier, but many others whose skin was exposed were scratching their hands too, as if they had been bitten by something.
"Look at his feet," Mubai reminded them.
The soldier whose hand was itching had blood on it. It dripped to the ground after being washed away by the rain.
A green mushroom was growing rapidly where the blood fell. It went from the size of a thumb to the size of a fist in just a few seconds, and it was still growing.
The mushroom had a strange color and flesh. It looked more like a pustule on the ground. There was a half-liquid inside it that would sway slightly when the mushroom moved.
Thud!
Thud!
The pustule exploded when it reached the size of a soccer ball.
The green mucus sprayed out like the feces of a monster. A pitch-black creature crawled out from the mushroom and crawled into the soldier's pants in the blink of an eye.
"Watch out for the Mushroom Worm!"
The soldier did not notice the creature crawling toward him. He was still scratching his hand desperately. He had an urge to tear the skin off the back of his hand.
But just as he was about to go crazy, his body trembled violently, and he fell forward in a straight line.
He fell head first onto the ground. Starting from the back of his hand, his skin quickly turned greenish-red, and his muscles and skin began to swell ….
The swell skin looked like the mushroom that had grown out of the ground. It was only the size of a thumb at first, but it soon grew to the size of a soccer ball.
"Bang!"
"Bam!"
"Bang!!!!"
