It's said that some magical beasts around certain schools have already been logged into the system.
That's why the feedback is very comprehensive now, directly displaying all the skills of the scythe aphid.
"These bugs are stronger than I imagined..."
After reading the information, Li Pu's expression became much more serious.
LV10 is considered the ceiling of monster levels in the southern forest.
Though compared to the LV14 Scarecrow, they are still a bit lower.
But the restraint of the metal attribute magnetic field, the restraint of the scythe cutting attack, and the overwhelming numerical advantage make it impossible for the Scarecrow to gain any upper hand.
Not to mention gaining an advantage; if faced alone, it might be gone in two or three hits.
However, their current behavior has revealed a weakness: they are reluctant to leave the rock area.
"Let's try a big Fireball on them first."
So, Li Pu commanded the Scarecrow.
[Grass!]
Scarecrow: It's a Small Fireball, not a big Fireball.
The Scarecrow retorted.
[Eat groove, eat groove, eat groove…]
Retorting aside, it still rubbed up a Fireball and sent it over.
Pop~
Thus, a Fireball with wings floated leisurely out.
To better control the direction and aim, the Scarecrow didn't dare let it fly too fast during its launch.
[Chirp chirp chirp?] xN
The appearance of the Fireball immediately caused a commotion among the scythe aphids.
They belong to the type of insects that have phototaxis, so they are somewhat curious about this red-glowing thing.
At the same time, they also felt a slight Fear, as this was something they hadn't seen before.
The slow approach of the Fireball made them a bit complacent, not retreating immediately but allowing it to get closer.
It was only when it got close enough that the high temperature it carried finally aroused their vigilance.
[Grass!]
Zoom!
However, just as the scythe aphid wanted to retreat, the Scarecrow controlled the Fireball to suddenly accelerate and hit them.
Bang!
The Fireball crashed down, splashing large sparks.
[Chirp chirp chirp!]
The scythe aphid that was hit panicked, flipping over on the ground with its legs kicking wildly, clearly in great pain.
Seeing their companion's situation, the other scythe aphids retreated one after another, obviously not wanting to be affected by the flames.
"Now's the time!"
Li Pu gave the Scarecrow a strong pat, then charged ahead with [Sprint].
[Grass!]
Scarecrow: Summoner, wait for Ben Cao!
Seeing Li Pu rushing out, the Scarecrow was a bit anxious on the spot.
It was easy for it to recover from injuries, but it wasn't the same for its human Summoner.
[Chirp chirp chirp!] xN
Seeing the enemy coming, the scythe aphids immediately turned from panic to frenzy.
Just as Li Pu set foot in the rocky area, they swarmed him in an encircling manner.
In the state of [Sprint], Li Pu had a great speed advantage.
Facing the scythe aphid at the forefront as it swung its Big Scythe mouthpiece to chop, he directly leaped.
Crunch!
Stepping on the scythe aphid nearby, he dodged the attack and launched himself forward.
Because his target was clear, it was the scythe aphid that had already been hit by the Fireball.
First, kill one to get the related items, then make further plans.
Thus, Li Pu treated these bug-like monsters as stepping stones, quickly leaping between them.
[Chirp chirp chirp!] xN
However, these scythe aphids were not easy targets, raising their mouthparts in an attempt to take a vicious bite.
The standing scythes looked like a sea of blades.
Fortunately, Li Pu was fast enough, skillfully dodging each time.
[Grass!]
The Scarecrow caught up and hurriedly lent a hand.
A large number of vines rose up, tangling many scythe aphids.
But scythe aphids, which feeds on plants, didn't pay these mere vines any attention.
[Chirp chirp chirp!] xN
The scythe mouthparts cut continuously, swiftly slicing the vines into scattered pieces.
However, the Scarecrow's harassment was already successful as it bought enough time.
Taking advantage of this gap, Li Pu swiftly approached.
The scythe aphid hit by the Fireball was already severely burned, with no resistance, it was quickly trampled into a pulp by his stomps, blue light-like liquid splashing everywhere.
Seizing the opportunity, he picked up the insect head with the scythe mouthpart and used the last bit of effective [Sprint] time to escape.
The man and the grass returned to the safety of the forest area, then found a suitable place to sit down.
"Whew..."
It was only at this moment that Li Pu finally relaxed, exhaling a long breath.
Don't be fooled by how he seemed to leisurely traverse through the bunch of bugs.
In reality, the pressure was much greater than he had imagined after entering.
Fortunately, there was the support of the Scarecrow's [Entwine], otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to get away unscathed.
At this moment, not only was he drenched in sweat, but his clothes were also torn in many places.
The scythe aphids' mouthparts were extremely sharp, causing damage with even the slightest contact.
As for the Scarecrow's condition, it wasn't any better.
Active only on the outskirts of the insect swarm, it didn't have the agility of Li Pu.
Being besieged by just four or five scythe aphids left it considerably battered.
It had numerous large and small wounds, an ugly sight.
Large chunks of turf were cut open, revealing the inside... grass.
Well, perhaps it wasn't that ugly after all.
But the worst part was its grass leg, a small piece was bitten off, turning it into a grass cripple.
Considering this was not a completely safe environment, Li Pu proceeded to heal it after a short rest.
[Caocao!]
[Caocao Cao!]
Scarecrow: Summoner! Ben Cao has recovered! Stop, stop!
Finally, amidst a series of whines, the Scarecrow restored its body.
"These scythe bug monsters are too threatening..."
Having finished, Li Pu wore a grave expression.
Not only did they restrain the Scarecrow, but they were also quite troublesome to deal with on his own.
It seems collecting related items from them won't be an easy task.
"Let's check out the related items first."
While contemplating, Li Pu's gaze fell on the insect head he brought back.
