The Legendary Farmer's
Chapter 25 - Plan

Yenyen looked at Paijo question markingly. He did not know whether to trust Paijo or ignore him. If you have to believe, what can be trusted from Paijo's words considering the situation is now impossible to be able to side with the UF forces. Moreover, some bosses who had frozen Paijo were able to move and re-launch attacks on UF members who were struggling to escape. But if ignored, it was tantamount to wasting an opportunity that could possibly end the battle in this place once and for all. Yenyen thought that way because she could see the optimality in Paijo's eyes.

"What do you mean?" Yenyen asked while holding a magic wand made from some kind of roots with two hands. Yenyen deliberately asked like that to decide whether she would follow Paijo's every plan or ignore him.

"Trust me!" reply Paijo without answering Yenyen's question. "To carry out this plan I need help from all of you."

"Our help?"

Paijo nodded. "Especially of your race."

"My horse?" again, Yenyen had to make sure of Paijo's words. I don't know what the front figure was thinking, but according to Yenyen the race is only a race that is proficient in supporting a battle, whether it is creating a protector or ensnaring opponents with the basic skills of controlling the plant. "Are you sure? We're not frontline fighters. We are just a support line that always operates in the back row. We really don't have any attack skills."

"Please trust me! And we have to do it now." Paijo was a little urgent.

"Ba-good! So what's your plan?"

"First how many races do you have left and can use the skill?"

For a moment Yenyen scanned the surroundings, trying to find figures that had the same characteristics as her. "Maybe about forty."

"I don't know if that amount is enough to carry out my plan or not. But I expect a lot from you and your friends to win this battle."

"Then what should we do?" ask Yenyen. Finally decided to support Paijo, a figure he did not know.

"Can you guys destroy this place? I mean the whole ground inside the protective dome? You guys can stir it up or whatever it is. The important thing is the ground inside the dome is falling apart."

"If that was all we could do it easily. We don't even have to spend a lot of energy. It's just that we need a little time to do it considering the area is quite wide. Maybe about four to five minutes."

"I'll try to buy as much time as possible." Paijo nodded at Yenyen, trying to convince her that things would go well. "Then the second thing you have to do - I mean the whole UF army is to use fire element magic. Point your attacks to the entire area inside the dome. Prefer skills that have a burning effect. Then leave the rest to me!"

"Good! Then I'll go back to my army first. And you be careful!" yenyen said expectantly. Then with the fastest speed back to the rest of his troops who were gathered outside the dome with their leader.

"What exactly is your plan?" babanyu asked suddenly after a long time just mutely hearing the talk of his host.

"Later you will know for yourself." Paijo replied casually as he turned to the gathering place of the UF troops.

In the distance, Yenyen was talking to the leader of his army. Then not long after all the remaining UF troops spread around the protective dome. They ran as fast as they could and formed small groups along the outer side of the dome.

"Whatever you want! Inevitably I will definitely have to believe you." Babanyu replied disappointedly.

"I like your decision. As a parasite you must trust the host." Paijo's comments are pleased. "I want to ask. How many degrees can this protective skill of yours withstand the heat?"

"Eh! How do you know my skill can withstand the heat?" Babanyu was surprised to hear Paijo's question. As Babanyu recalled, he never revealed all the details of his protective skills. "Do you have the same skill? Or is it possible that you have been told by others about my skill?"

"I was just speculating. Just guessing if a skill like yours that has the basic elements of water must have resistance to heat. With his ability that I think is so crazy must be his resistance to heat is also unreasonable."

Babanyu laughed satisfied. His voice echoed in Paijo's mind. "It looks like I got the host of a genius. But, yes, you're right. My skill can withstand temperatures of up to a thousand degrees Celsius. Great right?"

"Can it be doubled?"

"Twice as much?"

"Yes. Two thousand degrees centigrade."

Babanyu did not respond immediately. Normally his protective skill was indeed able to withstand the heat of up to a thousand degrees Celsius. But all types of skills in the world of Gedhetenan Land do not have an exact number. In other words, all can set the level of skills they have. Either it lowers or increases its ability. This will certainly affect the saving or wasteful someone in the use of energy.

As for Babanyu, he had never increased the heat resistance in his protective skill. Although it must be forced, it is certain that Babanyu will use three or four times more energy. It was tantamount to a suicide attempt considering Babanyu's life was entirely dependent on the energy he had.

"You can also use my energy if necessary." continued Paijo because Babanyu did not reply. For a moment Paijo observed Babanyu's protector still clad in his body. The jelly-textured and light blue liquid is about three centimeters thick, feels cool on the skin and is flexible.

"Eight minutes. Probably ten minutes at most."

"I think that's enough."

"Of course run away from them."

"Eh! Since when did they surround us?" Babanyu was surprised, only realized that the existence of Paijo was on the edge of the horn. Right around him, dozens of Black Earth Forest Bosses surrounded Paijo without any slight gap to escape.

Paijo chuckled softly hearing the shock of the parasites on his body. "Since we talked."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"What's telling you? Besides it's also your own fault why cut off the connection with my vision."

"Emm.. It's still very dangerous." Babanyu's tone of voice went up. A violent protest was thrown by him as Paijo responded lightly.

As a parasite, Babanyu has the ability to access all of his host's senses. In other words what Paijo saw, heard and felt could be accessed or blocked Babanyu. Although as a parasite that incidentally detrimental, but for Babanyu the ability is very useful for himself and his host. By knowing the circumstances around, Babanyu can easily behave or use his skills to help. As Babanyu had done before just before Paijo received the monster boss's punch. With his prowess Babanyu managed to use his protective skill and save Paijo from death.

That's why Babanyu protested loudly when Paijo did not tell if the situation was at the tip of the horn. Since a while before Babanyu had indeed blocked Paijo's vision. He did so to speed up the regeneration of his energy which had been reduced due to using the skill.

As the Kotostos race belonged to one of the unique races in Gedhetenan Land, in order to restore the energy that became the sole source of life, Babanyu had to block some or all of his host's senses. By doing so Babanyu can regenerate his energy faster. Or simply, the blocking can be equated with sleep. In other words, there is nothing that can be done by anyone who is in the sleep phase. So it is natural that Babanyu suddenly raised his voice because he did not know the circumstances around. This would cause him to be unable to use the skill in time.

"I hope you have a way to escape death." Babanyu. It is undeniable that he is indeed horrified and afraid of what is happening. If calculated by numbers, the chance of living from the present situation was zero percent, considering that both Paijo and Babanyu were only of small level when compared to the boss of the Black Earth Forest monster.

"Hopefully I can grant your wish" Paijo said casually. His smile widened while his gaze was sharply filled with focus.

Babanyu who could feel what was happening to Paijo could only smile wryly. He didn't know what to say to Paijo. Whether it was Babanyu or anyone who saw him would definitely never consider a human teenager sane. His expression is hard to describe. At the same time Paijo looks very happy and scared and horrified. His eyes were extremely sharp as if he was assessing the surrounding situation and drawing conclusions simultaneously. During his life, Babanyu had never seen anyone behave like Paijo. Especially when death is almost completely the end of his life journey.

With a move as fast as he could, Paijo took out two ice bombs then threw them at the two monster bosses before him. In an instant the two jet-black creatures froze. In the same second Paijo also swung a quick step forward. With a nimble movement weaved through the gap between the bodies of the monster bosses who were becoming ice sculptures. Paijo again took out an ice bomb from the white bracelet storage room and re-freezed the nearby monster boss before passing it off without any resistance.

Paijo continued to throw ice bombs and passed the monster boss who was affected by the freezing effect until he managed to get out of the siege. Although he knew his speed was not comparable to his opponent, Paijo still tried to buy time for his plan to run successfully. There is no single spot of convenience for what Paijo is doing. Anyone could easily see this, including all the UF troops who had just come out of the death trap of the Black Forest Lord.

They felt Paijo's actions were like suicide. The thought arises of course because of knowing the fact that the figure who is running the ridge pursued by death has a level far below them. But it is this fact that makes them feel useless. The effort they had been fighting for the success of the mission felt futile. At the same time, they also hope for Paijo who they do not know. Therefore without protesting they followed all of Paijo's plans.

Time keeps passing. Paijo who from the beginning became the bait began to fatigue. His body that had been forged with a fairly unreasonable training system slowly lost its ability little by little. Paijo who knew for sure how his condition could only shake his head in disbelief. Now is not the time to give up. However, Paijo must still be able to maintain his speed and keep a distance far enough from the monster boss hordes who continue to chase after him like a cat chasing rats.

Hundreds of ice bombs have been used to hinder the movement of monster bosses. There have been many resources that Paijo used to be able to survive so far. After all, Paijo will never stop the swing of his legs. Moreover, the time that has been determined will soon be reached. Time will completely change things.

"How much longer?" asked Paijo with a great gasp.

"They should've acted." Babanyu replied quickly.

Right at the end of Babanyu's words, a rumble filled with threat, his voice lurking in the air as if warning of danger. Paijo who was about to lose his despair immediately turned to the lips of the protective dome, his smile instantly bursting wide.

Right from the outer side of the dome, the ground scattered into the air, stirred by something long and dark brown, which is nothing but a root. Slowly but surely the phenomenon that can be ascertained the fruit of the skill of Yenyen and his colleagues continues to lead to the center of the dome. The longer the wild moves. His countless numbers alternately wriggled in various directions, smashing the ground to a depth of two meters, making all look shattered.

Knowing the plan had been executed, Paijo changed the direction of his run. He turned to the center of the dome which was again shrouded in mist like before. Paijo deliberately changed direction so as not to be exposed to the skill of the land destroyer which can be sure to hurt him badly if it hit him. In addition, by changing direction suddenly, Paijo hopes to disrupt the movement of the monster boss horde.

"They are like stupid cattle chasing food." Babanyu comments when he finds the mob boss in chaos.

Paijo did not respond. He only smiled widely and was quite surprised as the calculations and expectations on his decision to change the running path immediately came to fruition. The hordes of black figures behind him were shocked to the point of making their footrest unstable. As a result, their vanguard slipped to the ground, making their powerless bodies a stumbling block for the figures behind them.

Not getting there. A moment before it could stand on its feet properly, dozens of quite large-sized roots smashed into their huge bodies. Each swing of the roots created could always blow away several monster bosses simultaneously. This is an unexpected momentum. In just an instant the horde of monster bosses flew all the way here. Unable to resist, most of them were thrown far away. While some of them are squeezed and wrapped around the roots to make it unable to move.

Getting the best moment to escape from the pursuit of the monster boss horde, Paijo increasingly accelerated his steps into the fog. His human body instantly disappeared from sight. And vice versa, Paijo's vision could not see anything but white fog.

Actually the Paijo situation is now very unfavorable. If there were enemies in the fog, Paijo would not be able to see the direction of the opponent's attack. In other words Paijo would be easily defeated without any resistance.

It's very risky indeed. But Paijo has his own thoughts. According to him, the more located in the center point of the dome, he will easily avoid the roots that are ravaging the entire surface of the soil in the dome. However, the roots that became the fruit of the skill of Yenyen and her colleagues were quite deadly considering how easily hordes of monster bosses were made to fly here and there.

Not long after what Paijo was wary of came towards him. With just one jump up Paijo managed to dodge dozens of roots that quickly destroyed the ground under his feet.

"When to proceed to the second stage!"
