Fey Evolution Merchant Chapter 853: Attrition Battle

Chapter 853: Attrition Battle

Iron Prison knew that even if he approached Moon Empress for help and provided his own resources, she would normally never agree to help him evolve his feys.
As simple-minded as he was, Iron Prison knew that the Moon Empress was annoyed by him.
"It's a deal!"
All the veteran and top faction leaders behind the members of royalty shivered.
Was this the world of the bigshots? What a boring and unpretentious world!
The stakes for casual bets turned out to be things like precious weapons and sacred source lifeforms!
Veteran factions would never be able to get their hands on sacred source lifeforms, and only the strongest experts in the top factions had sacred source lifeforms.
…
While Iron Prison, the Moon Empress, and Night Leaning Moon were making their bets, the uncertain disciples participating in the Martial Stage were immediately motivated by Iron Prison's words.
Liu Jie frowned slightly under his mask on the stage because he knew that a mad clamor to challenge him would soon ensue thanks to what Iron Prison had stated.
However, he was not nervous about this. Rather, the chaos was exactly what he wanted.
It was only through facing strong opponents that Liu Jie would be able to discover the true extent of his power.
Shortly after, someone stepped onto the Martial Stage.
Zuo Ming immediately announced the start of the third match.
The third person to enter the Martial Stage looked at the 30 ferocious Blade Worms in front of Liu Jie and felt that he had jumped the gun.
However, Iron Prison's words had been an effective motivator for impulsion.
The young man summoned his feys.
Lin Yuan used True Data to check on the three tiger-species feys that the young man had summoned.
Tiger-species feys had similar potential to dragon-species feys, but compared to dragon-species feys that had a variety of types, tiger-species feys were much rarer.
Two of the three tiger-species feys summoned by the young man had reached Fantasy Breed, and the strongest one had reached Diamond I/Fantasy I.
It was clear that he was much stronger than Wang An. In fact, he would even be able to beat three Wang Ans.
Technically, the three tiger-species feys were as strong as Liu Jie's 30 Diamond X Blade Worms.
The Blade Queen Bee's Vicious Poison Queen Bee could prevent the Blade Worms' grades from falling, but every transformed Diamond X Blade Worm would become Flawless quality.
This meant that every Diamond X Blade Worm had the power of a Platinum III/Fantasy I fey.
The moment the three tiger-species feys were summoned, the 30 Platinum III/Fantasy I Blade Worms immediately clashed against them.
The Diamond I/Fantasy I tiger-species fey was undoubtedly much stronger than Zhou Luo's Lava Dragon Lizard.
However, the Lava Dragon Lizard was a defense-type fey that relied on its armor to defend against the Blade Worms' attacks.
Zhou Luo had been able to use the Lava Dragon Lizard to defeat so many Blade Worms because its ability Unbreakable Iron Bones allowed it to increase its defense after sustaining each attack and because Lin Yuan had given Zhou Luo many fire-type and earth-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.
These allowed Zhou Luo to use the pure elemental energy through the Lava Dragon Lizard's Shield Regeneration to increase its endurance during battle.
The tiger-species feys were power offense-type feys that had a relatively weak defense.
Every time that the tigers' claws slashed toward the Blade Worms, the claws would shatter upon contact on the black blades protruding from the Blade Worms' bodies.
Such damage was insignificant to the Diamond I/Fantasy I tiger-species feys.
But because of the Blade Queen Bee's Cursed Bee Venom, the tiger-species feys were cursed by the psychotoxins every time damage was dealt to the blades.
As he watched the battle unfold, Liu Jie waved his hand, and five more Shield Ladybugs emerged from the Dimensional Light Moth's body.
The Shield Ladybugs joined the battle to protect the Blade Worms against the tiger-species feys' attacks.
The violent tiger-species feys were slowly losing their edge to the insect colony.
When Liu Jie instructed the Blade Queen Bee to use Dissolution Infection on a heavily injured Blade Worm that could no longer fight, a large amount of psychotoxins sprayed all over the tiger-species feys.
Under the burden of the psychotoxins and layers of curses, the tiger-species feys' bodies had started to weaken.
Soon, the tiger-species feys crashed to the ground under the Blade Worms' attacks.
When the young man saw that his feys could no longer fight and had nothing else that would threaten Liu Jie, he chose to surrender.
After the young man stepped off the Martial Stage, one of the Blade Worms was dead while seven were lying on the ground in a severely injured state, and the remaining 22 had also sustained damage.
The five Shield Ladybugs that had entered the battle at a later time had been torn to shreds by the sharp claws.
Liu Jie was not frazzled after the battle and continued to stand calmly behind the Blade Worm.
This scene excited the rest of the disciples of veteran and top factions who were participating in the Martial Stage.
A few young men who Du Shuo led exchanged looks with each other. They had all witnessed the battle that had just concluded.
Although the weaker disciples of veteran and top factions did not have the power to defeat Liu Jie, they could cause damage to Liu Jie's colony of Blade Worms.
Judging from the state of Liu Jie's feys, the Blade Worms' injuries could not be healed by the Blade Queen Bee, and the latter would need a long time before it could produce eggs again.
There would not be any more chances for the Blade Queen Bee to produce a second batch of eggs. Hence, an attrition battle was the best choice for defeating the Blade Worms.
The young men that Du Shuo was leading dispersed and walked toward different participants.
These young men came from a high-ranked top faction, and they were quickly able to persuade the other participants of the Martial Stage to ally with them.
The weaker participants stood no chance of beating Liu Jie, so they were the best choice of people to wear down the Blade Worms.
