Chapter 714: Chapter 502: Aerial Battle (Part 2)
Then even more exaggerated... a scarecrow actually appeared?
What are you up to??
Are you trying to slack off?
"Huh? Didn’t you say it needs to be able to fly and fight?"
Li Pu shrugged his shoulders.
Number 2 can fly, and although it looks like a big iron head, it’s actually quite agile.
But ultimately, it’s just an assistant, lacking any real combat capability.
The ugly little wolf can fly, but its backwards flying style isn’t suited for combat, at least not in this situation.
To rely solely on its Cloud Soaring skill, it would likely get completely outmaneuvered by these flying demon tree people.
As for Fufu, even more so, with its two tiny wings, flying isn’t possible at the moment.
The fact that it can participate in frontline combat today without lazily sleeping is already quite something. Can’t expect more.
Among my remaining summoned beasts, the ones meeting Xu Zihui’s requirements are only the scarecrow and Bubu.
"Are you... sure?"
However, the treant really questioned this.
The two least likely to fly creatures are being chosen to engage in an aerial battle?
"Believe it or not, they can actually fly."
Li Pu seemed to understand what the other was thinking.
[Grass!]
Through his telepathy communication, the scarecrow directly took out its Flaming Throne.
"This..."
The treant was stunned, not grasping its purpose for bringing this out.
[Caocao! Caocaocaocao!]
Scarecrow: You don’t get this, do you, treant man!
"Really? Explain it to me then."
The treant happened to understand some plant language.
[Caocaocao! Grass!]
Scarecrow: To wear the throne, one must bear the weight!
"..., I guarantee that phrase doesn’t exist."
The treant commented.
He also wondered how this seemingly heavy thing is related to flying.
But the next second, the scarecrow showed him.
[Grass!!!]
With a resounding shout, jade-like vines sprouted from the back of the Flaming Throne, and...
they were woven into a pair of wings!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The wings flapped forcefully, actually lifting the scarecrow along with its seat high into the air!
Indeed, after 13 failed transformations, the scarecrow now possesses the capability to weave wings.
It’s no longer an ordinary scarecrow.
It’s a scarecrow that can fly!
"..., I really admire you."
"To cultivate a scarecrow to this astonishing level."
The treant couldn’t help but gaze at Li Pu with admiration, but then asked, "Why doesn’t it weave the wings onto itself?"
This question left Li Pu speechless, too.
He figured he’d have to wait for it to tire of showing off the Flaming Throne before it stops taking it out.
"But you have to admit, even like this, it’s quite capable of flying."
The treant looked up, watching the scarecrow fly.
In the air, the scarecrow didn’t employ any special techniques, just steered its stone bench directly at the flying demon tree people.
Although the stone bench is heavy, its jade vine wings are much stronger than those of the flying demon tree people, so catching up with them is no problem at all.
Plus, the flying demon tree people’s main attack is curse attack, which the scarecrow is totally immune to.
Thus, it’s a guaranteed hit—once collided, and with the flames on the stone bench, they disintegrate in midair and turn to ashes before hitting the ground.
"Alright, I admit it does have aerial combat ability."
After watching the scarecrow’s performance, the treant looked away.
"But you’re not going to tell me it can grow wings too, are you?"
He then looked at Bubu.
A scarecrow growing wings and flying? Okay, certified.
Since it’s made of grass.
But for you as a kangaroo, sprouting wings out of nowhere doesn’t quite fit...
[Chompchomp! Chompchomp!]
Just then, Bubu’s two short arms tightened.
Pop!
It instantly vanished on the spot.
"Huh?"
The treant realized Bubu had reappeared in the air about ten meters high.
But Bubu immediately started to fall, so it tightened again.
[Eat!]
Pop!
Again, soaring another dozen meters.
[Eat!]
Pop!
[Eat!]
Pop!
[Eat!]
Pop!
Like this, its flickering silhouette darted around in the air, up, down, left, right.
"Is, is this even considered flying...?"
Quan Shuren felt a bit at a loss on how to describe it.
Though this technique resembled the Summoner skill [Teleport], it was something not even Summoners could achieve.
Continually using [Teleport] like this would definitely burst the brain’s blood vessels.
But it seemed like it hadn’t run out of energy just yet.
"Okay, okay!"
"Certify."
Ultimately, he could only raise his hands and admit once more.
"But in this state, it probably can’t attack, right."
Quan Shuren had seen Bub’s combat style before, which relied on throwing polished spheres.
Earlier, when participating in a projectile attack on the ground, it tossed a few spheres, almost exploding its own allies.
With that accuracy, expecting it to hit a target in the air in the brief interval of teleportation was clearly unrealistic.
"Is that so."
Li Pu chuckled and shook his head.
These people didn’t really understand Bub.
He never said it could only throw light spheres.
Just at that moment, Bub seemed to have had enough fun.
Watching it ascend several waves with [Ghost Step] to surpass the Flying Demon Tree’s height, it then ceased teleporting and allowed itself to start free-falling.
[Eat, eat, eat, eat~]
During the fall, it swayed its tail, waved its flower-like hands and started dancing.
"What strange move is this?"
Quan Shuren wouldn’t be foolish enough to think that it was just dancing, though he hadn’t seen this move before.
[Mysterious Chaotic Dance]: By dancing, targets within range suffer mental attacks/slow effects.
Originally, the range of this skill was a spherical area.
But after Bub’s fourth transformation, it became more powerful, enlarging this spherical range.
And with the premise of free falling, during the dance duration, the skill’s coverage turned into a cylindrical shape, amplifying greatly.
The crucial part is... it doesn’t distinguish between friend and foe.
[Demon Tree!]
The first Flying Demon Tree hit by the mental attack wave trembled all over, rolled its eyes, and started to fall.
[Crow of Crow!]
The second to be hit was a bird-like ally summoned beast, which also dropped headfirst.
[Demon Tree!] xN
As the cylindrical area swept down, Bub directly knocked out an ally summoned beast and N Flying Demon Trees.
But that wasn’t the end; it took another breath, rose back to high altitude, and started free-falling from another position.
[Demon Tree!] xN
[&#¥#@!]
Undoubtedly, the entire sky track was poisoned again.
Within a short while, three shots, four shots, five shots...
The Flying Demon Trees in the air were rapidly dwindling, and certainly, so were the ally summoned beasts.
However, the allied aerial battle summoned beasts had a smaller share, and with a sturdier physique, even when hit by a wave of mental attacks and suffering a fall, they wouldn’t perish, and treatment would follow swiftly.
As for the Flying Demon Trees, they weren’t so fortunate, being smashed to smithereens.
Gradually, in the sky, only a few Flying Demon Trees and a handful of allied summoned beasts remained.
Caocao and Bub were naturally among them.
Caocao’s participation this round was purely for fun, mainly to experience the thrill of collision.
Bub’s performance, however, drew the attention of everyone present.
"Whose summoned beast is that? It’s so unfamiliar..."
"This little kangaroo is too awesome!"
"Just dancing to defeat the enemy, what kind of technique is this?"
"Dancing kangaroo? Does such a species exist?"
"My summoned beast said it felt like its brain was ruthlessly ravaged by that dance, then instantly lost consciousness temporarily."
"That dance... isn’t even that ugly."
Amidst everyone’s discussions, Li Pu didn’t pay much attention, as his focus was already on those Flying Demon Trees.
The relevant items from these creatures... are valuable!
