My Players Are So Fierce – Handsome dog Frank

Chapter 2574 - 859: Hello, Wolf People, Welcome to Transylvania (Strikethrough)... Welcome to Cartachon!

"Currently, the deadly plants discovered to be rapidly reproducing in the Polluted Swamp include but are not limited to Blood-sucking Root, Gluttonous Flower, Spiky Lichen, Lava Grass, Tangled Water Vine, Wild Roots, Man-Eating Flower, and the most dangerous, the Primal Thorn Beast..."

"By the way, are you sure the Thorn Beast belongs to plants?"

In the command center of the Maginot Line, the Civilian Protection Officer serving as the commander of this line looked at the investigation report submitted by the Big Bird Team with an incredulous and pained expression.

Kudell, staring at the exaggerated descriptions of various new plants in this report, couldn’t help but ask, despite his extensive knowledge:

"During the fourth Black Disaster, I fought alongside the Red Knight of Avalon and indeed witnessed the scene of them summoning War Thorn Beasts. I always thought it was a plant-like summoned beast. Are those terrifying things really growing from underground?"

"Uh, the growth process of the Thorn Beast does not rely on photosynthesis but comes from the vitality in the enemy’s blood, Civilian Protection Officer Sir."

Meow Brother felt obliged to educate others on the unique characteristics of the Thorn Beast as the era’s only Red Knight, but as he was about to start, he suddenly realized his knowledge on this was limited to the legends about Thorn Beasts in Old Eugene’s book.

Such superficial information obviously wouldn’t fool a hundred-year-old vampire, so he smoothly changed the subject, saying:

"Don’t just look at the plants; there are also many dangerous animals appearing in the swamp. Compared to the slow-moving carnivorous plants, these new ’visitors’ in the swamp are what I think we should pay more attention to."

"At least for us, Avalon’s Blessing allows carnivorous plants not to attack the Transia People, but the animals, once starving, certainly wouldn’t care about that."

"Hmm, alright."

Kudell continued to flip through the report.

On the next page, the Big Bird Team detailed the current animal communities born in the Polluted Swamp, and just by the names, it was clear these creatures weren’t easy to deal with:

"Blood Bees, Drilling Scolopendra, Polluted Flies, Deadwood Scorpions, Exploding Toads, Flying Snakes... Wait, Flying Snakes means snakes that can fly?"

The Civilian Protection Officer felt he was truly enlightened today. He looked at Meow Brother and said:

"I’ve heard there are such snakes in the Elven Forest of Antani?"

"Yes, they are originally from the Elven Forest, but according to our team’s Druids, the venom of the Flying Snakes appearing in the Polluted Swamp is five times stronger than their counterparts in the Elven Forest."

"Once bitten, a silver-tier or lower life form can only survive up to thirty heartbeats before meeting their end."

"It’s basically like a gliding-winged, jungled-camouflaged Black Mamba, and the worst part is that their numbers are rapidly increasing in the swamp."

Meow Brother answered with a pained expression:

"With their survival mode of not being picky about habitats, in one or two more weeks, they might approach Wolf Castle."

"Besides these small creatures, other species in the swamp have also received Avalon’s War Blessing, normal Swamp Tigers are quickly becoming elite, and previously useless vampire bats have learned to create shadow illusions."

"Moreover, for unknown reasons, the leaves of originally harmless low trees in the swamp are now poisonous."

"A shield holder in my team, Three Five Battles, accidentally got scratched by the leaves and is now receiving Druidic detoxication treatment at Wolf Castle."

"It seems to be some sort of plant neurotoxin, acting very quickly. Three Five Battles is already a silver shield holder, but he was still made to vomit and have diarrhea. I think even Wolf People would be paralyzed by it."

"So serious?"

The Civilian Protection Officer’s expression grew serious. He put down the report and said:

"I’ve already issued a ban along the defense line, prohibiting non-combat personnel from entering the Polluted Swamp, but listening to your report, I feel the changes happening in the Polluted Swamp seem more dangerous than I thought?"

"Can it be confirmed that these changes are related to Avalon?"

"Hmm, the small sacred land established by the church in the swamp hasn’t been disturbed by nearby monsters. Those dangerous things are deliberately avoiding the seat of Avalon itself, which is sufficient proof that their mutations have an indisputable connection with the blessings of the God of Nature."

"According to the Druids, it seems Avalon wants to establish a second Ancestral Grove in the Polluted Swamp."

"But the War Blessing given this time is a bit excessive, and the Divine Spirit’s clumsy hand directly led to ecological changes in the swamp, even causing many extinct creatures to reappear."

Meow Brother seriously explained:

"Those creatures are all aggressive, and even plants generally have carnivorous instincts. We can say the Polluted Swamp is gradually turning into a forbidden zone for life, but we guess these changes should be temporary. Once a new food chain stabilizes in the swamp, it will eliminate those unsuitable for this environment, and eventually, the swamp environment won’t be as extreme as it is now, but we must be prepared to say goodbye to the former Polluted Swamp."

"These unsettling changes are continuing, and even the Druids cannot determine what the Polluted Swamp will ultimately become, but considering it’s Avalon’s Blessing, aimed at helping us resist the Black Disaster, the primary target of these dangerous creatures is certainly still the Wolf People."

"This isn’t bad for the defense of the Maginot Line."
