Heluo did not perceive the aning in Richard’s gaze and continued to narrate the content about Strange Species:
"Besides the Short-lived Strange Species and Longevity Exotic Species, the third kind is the most powerful Strange Species—Immortal Strange Species.
This kind of Strange Species has a lifespan that is nearly infinite, with strength far beyond imagination. Not to ntion that a single wizard cannot contend with it; even the strongest among nurous wizards tead up would find it difficult to defeat. Most of the ti, they are in a slumber, but once awakened, they will bring catastrophe to the entire world and were one of the primary enemies of the ancient wizards."
Under this major category, they are divided into Giant Species, Void Species, Deep Sea Species...
Giant Species are a very ancient kind of creature in this world, born before humankind. Although they resemble humans in appearance, their size is dozens or even hundreds of tis larger. It is said that so of the oldest giants are as big as mountains and are referred to as Mountain Giants. In ancient tis, when human power was relatively weak, the Giant Species often invaded humans, broke through towns, and seized many people as food. Fortunately, afterward, the ancient wizards beca powerful, and over a long period of hunting, most of the Giant Species were exterminated, with the remaining few retreating into a slumber.
Void Species are said to be even older than Giant Species. Their living area differs from that of Giant Species—Giant Species mostly live on land, whereas Void Species dwell in the void. They have unique structures, and the areas they inhabit are difficult even for the most powerful Demonized Birds to reach. Thus, their contact with humans is minimal, but when they occasionally descend to the ground, they can cause massive disasters, such as triggering large-scale storms, thunderstorms, and blizzards. Therefore, they were also subjected to the hunts and expulsions of ancient wizards and have now beco extinct.
Deep Sea Species are among the oldest creatures currently in the world, predating both the Giant Species and the Void Species, having existed shortly after the world’s creation. They reside in fathomless oceans, and the stronger entities live closer to the seabed, possibly thousands or tens of thousands of ters deep, where the pressure is unimaginable, making it difficult even for the most powerful wizards to reach. Thus, the ancient wizards never fully eradicated them, and they still exist to this day. However, due to their minimal contact with humans, they are considered extinct in so sense.
There are also..."
After talking for quite a while, Heluo paused and said, "That’s roughly all the Immortal Strange Species of the third large category."
"Then what is the fourth category of Strange Species?" Bobbobovic asked, "You said the third category of Immortal Strange Species is already the most powerful, so the fourth category couldn’t possibly be even stronger, right?"
"The fourth category..." Heluo said, "It’s hard to determine if they are stronger since they hold too many secrets and have unimaginable wonders, so they are collectively called Mysterious Strange Species."
"Mysterious Strange Species?"
"Yes, Mysterious Strange Species." Heluo nodded, "This ans they are enigmatic and unfathomable, perhaps weaker than the Short-lived Strange Species, perhaps so strong they could achieve what even the Immortal Strange Species could not. Sotis it’s uncertain whether they are living beings and can only be classified as life forms.
This major category has many types, but overall their numbers are very few. In many cases, one or a few will form a separate category. For example, Flower Fairy, Water Elf, Treasure Fairy, Luck Fairy, Misfortune Rabbit, Activated Hat, Snow Spirit Demon..."
After more than ten minutes, Heluo finally finished speaking, and Bobbobovic showed a sudden realization, finally "rembering" the information about Strange Species.
Nodding slightly, seemingly contemplating, Bobbobovic clicked his tongue and looked at Heluo asking, "What Strange Species have we encountered in the forest now?"
"Based on the other party’s performance, it might be a type of Longevity Exotic Species—Ancient Tree Species." Heluo said.
"Ancient Tree Species?" Bobbobovic thought hard to recall what Heluo had just explained and asked, "Could it be the World Tree? Or perhaps the Life Tree or War Ancient Tree?"
"It cannot be determined yet, we only know that the other party can influence and create life, possessing a strong control over the forest, perhaps the entire forest is its territory. According to so records, it likely hasn’t exerted its full strength yet, once it goes all out, the entire forest will be connected to it. Every animal’s eyes in the forest will be its eyes, every tree its avatar."
Bobbobovic’s face turned a bit green: "Is this even negotiable?"
"That’s the most troubleso part." Heluo frowned, "We can’t make the entire forest our enemy, unless we can find the other party’s main body and make a fatal strike, otherwise prolonging the situation will only lead to us being exhausted to death. The other party has the resources of the entire forest, I can guess now that at this mont it must be sowhere in the forest, like before, mass-producing new Demonized Creatures. Once the new Demonized Creatures grow up and beco mature, our mission will only have a failure as a possibility."
"Then how can we find the other party’s main body?" Bobbobovic realized the severity of the issue.
"I don’t know either." Heluo shook his head helplessly, "The forest is too large, every tree might be the other party’s main body. If we search tree by tree, by the ti we find it, it might be months later."
"Then..." Bobbobovic fell silent, his eyes rolling, trying hard to think of a solution but to no avail.
At this mont, Richard spoke up: "There’s actually a good thod."
"Hmm? Really?" Bobbobovic quickly turned his head to look at Richard.
Heluo also turned to him, asking: "What is it?"
"Wizard Heluo, you ntioned before, the other party has the entire forest as a resource, and in the forest, it’s on its ho ground, so we can’t let it drag on." Richard said, "So what if we make the other party lose its ho ground? What if the forest ceases to exist?"
"You an?" Heluo guessed sothing, sowhat surprised.
Bobbobovic’s eyes widened, staring at Richard: "You can’t be..."
Richard didn’t answer directly and said slowly: "There are many trees in the forest, which is both a drawback and an advantage, the drawback is they beco the disguise for the Ancient Tree Species, the advantage is they are all excellent fuel."
"Uh."
...
Over half an hour later.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion sounded, and a fire pillar tens of ters high shot up in the forest, spreading outwards. Like a torch, it ignited the surrounding trees within dozens of ters, with the flas reaching out hundreds of ters away.
This was just the beginning. Following "boom boom boom," a series of sounds rang out.
One after another, fire pillars appeared in various locations in the forest, creating one fire site after another.
Over ten minutes later, the nurous fire sites began touching each other, gradually forming a fire wall several kiloters long and tens of ters high, spreading continuously through the forest.
At this mont, the sky outside the forest hadn’t yet brightened.
But the sky inside the forest was already illuminated.
