Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi

"... Still want to fight?" His voice carried a trace of fatigue and helplessness.

"If we don't fight, you've had enough, and we've had enough. We're here to end the war." Ye Nai's words were firm and powerful.

"Do you go to the battlefield wearing clothes like that?" He looked at the security team members with confusion in his heart.

The security team members each opened the photos and videos on their phones and handed them to him.

His eyes moved quickly over these images, looking at one and then another, as if one pair of eyes wasn't enough, his face full of shock.

"So your fighting capability is really that strong?" He couldn't help but sigh.

"If it weren't strong, we wouldn't have withstood your noble lords' invasive wars for so many years." Ye Nai's tone was calm, merely stating facts without emotion.

"That's true." He nodded slightly, lost in thought.

Ye Nai asked him to call his family and bring chairs. They sat while she stood, and a security team member took a large group photo of them with her phone, then printed it on paper.

Although this printed result was not very clear, it was enough as long as the faces could be seen. After all, it was for temporary use and not for long-term preservation.

The other family treated it as a treasure, carefully putting it away, as this was a guarantee for their future, giving Ye Nai and the others many thanks.

After finishing things here, Ye Nai took her team to the next location.

They exchanged the gold coins they earned from selling salt for a herd of cattle and sheep from the locals, and it was a live livestock trade.

After the trade was completed, Ye Nai opened a transmission port on the spot, facing directly the main door of the great house in the former Knight Territory.

After the transmission port stabilized, she patiently counted to ten seconds before having several security team members go through first to greet them, while she stayed back watching the locals help herd the livestock.

After two team members went over, they indeed saw a patrol car parked there, with a whole squad sitting on it.

The two sides saluted each other, and the squad leader got off the vehicle to inquire about the situation.

"Why are you here, is there something going on?" The squad leader's tone carried a hint of curiosity.

"We're doing some major purchasing here, just bought a herd of livestock." The security team member replied.

"Ah?" The squad leader and his team showed a surprised expression.

After the security team member finished speaking, they quickly stepped aside, leaving the area outside the transmission port available.

Just as they stepped aside, a gigantic bull head came over, followed by a colossal bull walking out, its height commanding attention, its whole body muscular, making it look delicious at first glance.

"Oh my..." The warriors couldn't help but exclaim.

"This is even bigger than the cattle they use to pull carts and plow fields in their village." Someone whispered.

"Ye Nai said the breed is different, this kind is tastier, like the tribute breed from our ancient times." Ye Nai had briefly introduced it to the team when buying the cattle.

"Got it, got it, it must be delicious." The warriors' faces showed anticipation.

"Quick, call for more people."

The warriors on this side immediately used their walkie-talkies to call for backup, and as soon as they heard there were live cattle, several teams rushed over with a clatter.

The cattle moved relatively slowly; by the time additional hands arrived, eight bulls leisurely walked out of the transmission port.

Following them were sheep.

The sheep moved much faster, jumping lively, a whole herd of over thirty leaping out, extremely lively, running around immediately, too quick for the warriors to catch up.

The female security guards at the transmission port were dumbfounded; after reacting, they quickly turned and called out to Ye Nai.

"Ye Nai, come quick, the sheep are loose."

Ye Nai was still taking photos and printing them with the trading counterpart, casually chatting to get a sense of recent circumstances.

Upon hearing the shouts, she wasn't worried at all.

"It's alright, let them run, they won't get beyond the mansion's perimeter, I'll gather them when I come over, don't foolishly chase them, or you'll break your legs."

After saying that, Ye Nai translated it for the trading counterpart, who threw his head back and laughed heartily.

The security team member quickly returned with the message; the warriors who were chasing sheep were slowly called back, standing with hands on hips, watching the tall sheep jump around swiftly from one spot to another.

Watching closely revealed the pattern: the sheep indeed couldn't run beyond the mansion's area, as if an invisible wall was blocking them.

As for the eight bulls, they stood calmly not far away, leisurely grazing.

Ye Nai finished discussions with the trading counterpart, stepped over the transmission port, and looking at the sheep running madly, she simply raised her right arm, holding it skyward, reciting some words no one else understood.

Everyone present suddenly felt a light breeze brush over their heads, causing a slight itch on their scalps.

Just as they thought about scratching, the next second, the sheep that had been running chaotically suddenly stiffened as if stricken by rigor mortis, collapsing to the ground, immobile.

"Alright, collect the sheep back." Ye Nai said.

"Are they dead?"

The security team member who had been observing was a bit shocked. This one gesture had immobilized over thirty sheep from different directions. Is this kind of power still human?

"No, it's the wizard's debuff spell, Petrification Technique, causing the target to experience petrification and rigidity, unable to move for two hours unless I lift the spell." Ye Nai explained.

"You've learned the wizard's spells, can other Awakeners learn them too?" The security team member asked curiously.

"It depends on spiritual power, casting spells is a very talent- and spiritual power-demanding effort. Those with strong spiritual power have greater spell power, higher precision, and faster casting speed, better suppressing the target's mental resistance. Conversely, those with high spiritual power have stronger resistances to spells, even if affected momentarily, they can break free more quickly. For the Petrification Technique I just used on the sheep, if it were on a Great Wizard, it might only last a few minutes, suitable for interrupting spellcasting or capture scenarios."

Ye Nai had captured so many wizards, collected so many wizard-related books, not just to turn them into valuable captives and gather culture, but because she was genuinely curious about the wizards' power system and had studied the books seriously. She used the Translation Mushroom as a daily ingredient and had spent more than four years on the Otherworld timeline, no longer a novice.

"I see."

The silently listening company commander had his eyes wide open.

He had just seen clearly, as soon as Ye Nai acted, over thirty sheep had uniformly fallen, while no human was affected.

If this is according to spiritual power's strength, performing multi-directional group precision spells, this spiritual power level must be a ceiling, right?

Such a large sheep, carrying it back would be challenging, so the walkie-talkie's voice was heard again and again. Soon, a second group came for support, bringing small hand carts and even a company commander also came over, shaking hands and greeting Ye Nai.
