Besides poisoning the water, there's another method, poisoning the pasture. But the Thunderous Fierce Horse doesn't eat pasture consistently.
The Little White Spider can poison a single blade of grass at a time, but with the vast meadow containing countless blades, it would take ages before the Thunderous Fierce Horse eats a poisoned one.
To poison the area on a large scale? The Little White Spider can't do it. It's not a holy attribute beast, so its holy Spiritual Energy recovers extremely slowly, and it can't be used much in a single battle.
The versatile fate points could enhance the Little White Spider's holy Spiritual Energy, but it's unnecessary and not cost-effective.
The Little White Spider excels in poison, not in holy attributes, so why increase its holy Spiritual Energy significantly?
Although the fate points it gets daily are plenty, there's no need to waste them.
Furthermore, the failure rate of large-scale poisoning is high.
The pasture isn't only eaten by the Thunderous Fierce Horse, but by other Thunder Horses as well. If the Thunder Horse eats the poisoned grass before the Thunderous Fierce Horse does and shows signs of poisoning, the Thunderous Fierce Horse will naturally know that the grass is poisoned.
Li Cunxu's strategy is to sow discord.
He aims to provoke hatred between the Thunder Horses and the Grass Healing Horses, leading to conflict between them, and taking advantage of the situation as a fisherman might.
Even if the plan as a fisherman fails, it's not a problem. As long as the Thunderous Fierce Horse is gravely injured, it will be quiet for a while, allowing Li Cunxu to carry out his plans without worrying.
The implementation of the sowing discord strategy is straightforward.
The Wisdom Mushroom King uses mushroom spores to parasitize a few Grass Healing Horses, controlling them to provoke and die at the Thunder Horses' place. Then it parasites a few Thunder Horses to provoke and die at the Grass Healing Horses' place.
Thus, conflicts intensify between them.
Additionally, there's already hatred between the Thunder and Grass Healing Horses.
Most Thunder Horses are offspring of the Blue Lightning Dragon, as Li Cunxu observed from some Thunder Horses' panels. Pure-bred Thunder Horses don't have dragon attributes; only those born from mating with dragons might have dragon attributes.
Grass Healing Horses are the food for the Blue Lightning Dragon, so they naturally resent the Blue Lightning Dragon and, correspondingly, resent its offspring as well.
The strategy of sowing discord proved more effective than imagined by Li Cunxu, as the Thunder Horses and Grass Healing Horses clashed after just one night.
The Grass Healing Horses have the Grass Healing Connection, a group battle divine skill.
However, the Thunder Horses are also formidable, with the support of weather enhancements. During thunderstorms, the falling lightning becomes significantly empowered.
The Old Horse King has the Grass Healing Connection of the herd, making him powerful enough to drain the same level of Thunderous Fierce Horse. The Blue Lightning Dragon deemed it too strong, threatening its consort, and deciding it was time to eat him once he grew fat.
The Grass Healing Thousand Riding Horse was overwhelmed, but the battle didn't sway much.
Grass Healing Horses can't win against Thunder Horses in high-level battles, but in mid and low-level battles, Thunder Horses are no match for Grass Healing Horses.
The connection formed by six thousand Grass Healing Horses is too formidable.
It takes a great effort to knock down a heavily armored Grass Healing Horse, and soon after, it recovers completely.
Li Cunxu, atop the mountain, watched the scene unfold.
The torrential rain washed over the vast meadow, where the Thunder Horses and Grass Healing Horses clashed like two unwavering torrents.
Lightning pierced the sky repeatedly, crashing onto the meadow, the thunderous roars deafening, and the flashes illuminated the island like daylight, dazzling to the eyes.
Vines emerged from the ground, intertwining and converging into a massive vine, coiling into large umbrellas to resist the falling lightning.
The two sides engaged back and forth, with victory hanging in the balance, a scene comparable to an epic blockbuster.
The audience watching the live stream also enjoyed the spectacle alongside Li Cunxu.
Li Cunxu believed ultimate victory belonged to the Grass Healing Horses since a battle of attrition worked in their favor—as long as the fight dragged on, victory was sure to be theirs.
But then an unexpected turn of events occurred.
The Thunderous Fierce Horse suddenly erupted, with its lightning mode activated, its speed and strength surging. It lifted its front legs high, kicking the head of the Grass Healing Thousand Riding Horse heavily. As the Grass Healing Thousand Riding Horse reeled from the blow, it bit its neck, pouring electricity into its body, causing its muscles to stiffen. Then the Thunderous Fierce Horse dragged the Grass Healing Thousand Riding Horse away from the herd.
The Grass Healing Horses charged forward fervently, trying to rescue their king, but the Thunder Horses, long prepared, obstructed the advancing Grass Healing Horses.
The Grass Healing Connection breaks beyond a hundred meters.
"Oh no, disconnecting the Grass Healing Connection, the Grass Healing Thousand Riding Horse is close to death."
Li Cunxu regretted not intervening sooner, finding it difficult to support from afar.
Another unexpected event occurred.
A beam cannon shot the Thunderous Fierce Horse away just as it was about to finish off the Grass Healing Thousand Riding Horse, saving it.
The beam cannon's shooter revealed itself.
The Sunshine Horse.
The evolved form of the Radiant Horse, also the king of the Radiant Horse clan.
Li Cunxu observed the Radiant Horses from afar—they showed no interest in joining the fray. If they joined, the Thunder Horses would be overwhelmed.
"Why did the Sunshine Horse intervene? Why isn't the Radiant Horse herd joining the battle? Does it have a personal vendetta against the Thunderous Fierce Horse?"
The Sunshine Horse's father, the previous Horse King, reached the lord level, and the Blue Lightning Dragon saw him as a threat to its consort—and itself—and so struck him down with lightning.
The Sunshine Horse let out a neigh.
The rain subsided, and the sun's rays pierced through the clouds to illuminate the land, hinting at a possible sunny outlook after the rain.
The Thunderous Fierce Horse wouldn't allow the Sunshine Horse to steal the thunderstorm weather.
The stormy weather determined whether its tribe could challenge the Grass Healing Horses.
Without the storm's enhancement, Thunder Horses were no match for Grass Healing Horses. Should the Sunshine Horse summon sunny weather, they would fare even worse.
Bereft of its tribe, and standing alone, sooner or later, the Grass Healing Horse herd would wear it down.
The Sunshine Horse is Golden Six, still no match for the Thunderous Fierce Horse.
As the Grass Healing Thousand Riding Horse recovered, it joined the weather battle.
The weather skills of the Grass Healing Thousand Riding Horse include [Sunny Day] and [Rainy Day].
Wood-based beasts can utilize photosynthesis in sunny weather, healing wounds, regenerating Spiritual Energy, and enhancing endurance.
Of course, in rainy weather, wood-based beasts also benefit from weather buffs.
Wood-based beasts' skills grow stronger during rain.
However, compared to the rainy day's boost, the Thunderous Fierce Horse's boost is even greater.
So, the Grass Healing Thousand Riding Horse sought to seize its rainy day.
