Chapter 1208 - Disagreement
Deep in the murky, dim Mushroom Forest.
A tall mushroom covered the dark, heavy skies with its cap, causing the forest clearing to be even darker than it already was.
Fluorescent mushrooms and moss spread all over the forest glowed with colorful lights. Combined with the glowing spores drifting through the air, the Mushroom Forest looked surreal and enchanting, as if it was a world taken from a children’s story.
Looking into afar from the dense Mushroom Forest, you could see a wide valley overgrown with spore-like plants. These plants had thick stems and massive fruits that were utterly disproportional to the rest of their size.
As the fruits were too large, each with a diameter of a meter, they bent at a steep angle. Several sporepople were working diligently in this field of spore plants, their one-meter-tall figures shuffling between them.
Sometimes they dug at the dirt and picked up some weeds. Other times, they watered the plants with a green sap, carefully taking care of each plant as if they were their children.
When a piece of fruit was ripe, it would burst apart, and thick, viscous juice would flow out. A strange baby would also flow out of the fruit along with the liquid. When that happened, the sporepeople in charge of the Sporeborn Woods would gather.
They would carefully wrap the baby in cloth and send it back to the village. As the period of ripening arrived, one magical sporebaby after another was born. The workers then became incredibly busy, with no time to rest at all.
Mm? The water elemental wasn’t on our side?
Greem was confused by the hostility expressed by the water elemental and couldn’t help but look at Moat with a look of utter confusion.
Moat smiled bitterly and took out a small silk pouch, which he threw at Greem.
“This is the reward for what you have done so far. As for the battle here, take a break! Our main goal today is Fahssn. It’s best if we…make Gorefist submit rather than simply killing him!”
“Submit?” Greem laughed coldly. “We haven’t even caught the ogre chieftain, and you are already thinking of making him submit? If we don’t take this opportunity to destroy the ogres’ camp, it will be too late to do so when their reinforcements arrive.”
“Human adept, know your place,” For some reason, Water Diviner Rauluns had no goodwill towards Greem at all, “How we deal with the ogre chieftain is an internal matter of the Marsh Wetlands. An outsider like yourself has no place in telling us what to do!”
The expression on Greem’s blazing face froze momentarily when he heard Rauluns’ reply. He stared at the Water Diviner and finally nodded. “Very well…very well indeed! Since this is the matter of your Marsh Wetlands, I should take a break.”
Having said that, Greem waved his hand, and the staff flew into his hands from beside the Flamegate.
Without the fire power from the staff, the Flamegate started to implode, finally dissipating into loose sparks. The fire creatures engaged in combat also began to disperse, quickly vanishing without a trace.
All of a sudden, only the twelve Swamp Giants were left chasing after the retreating ogres. The battlefield suddenly appeared oddly lonely.
Hmph!
Rauluns couldn’t be bothered by Greem’s actions.
He started chanting as he stood in a pond. Water humanoids began to rise from the water, instantly forming a massive army of water elementals.
These water elementals were only First and Second Grade, but they came in shocking numbers.
They quickly moved across the water’s surface, rapidly replacing the fire creatures on the battlefield and forming a numerical advantage over the ogres once more.
