Chapter 142: Ambush
Clearly, a single cannot pose much of a threat to the Big Slime.
"Can you cast a fireball while lying down? Launch a sneak attack while lying down."
Then after thinking for a bit, Li Pu turned his head to ask the scarecrow.
Scarecrow: Suddenly feeling a bit thirsty, what should I do, Summoner?
"..."
Li Pu didn't say much, just handed over a can of cola, already opened for it.
Scarecrow: No problem at all!
Scarecrow: Whether sitting, squatting, lying down, or even doing a handstand, using my feet to cast a fireball is fine!
A can of cola completely changed this guy's attitude.
Li Pu didn't really care, he's forgetful and not one to hold grudges.
It's just that sometimes (next time) when helping the scarecrow heal, he might forget to activate the skill first.
As for now, there's no rush to act.
Wait for the scarecrow to lie down and recover some energy.
Now that it's already at LV25, its energy capacity has increased. Before, a single cast of would almost exhaust it, but now it can at least cast + , provided it's at full energy.
So after waiting for the scarecrow to guzzle down the cola, its energy recovery was also complete.
Li Pu then led it to maintain a prone position, slowly crawling towards the Big Slime.
Unexpectedly, the Big Slime's insight was far better than imagined.
Just now, one person and one scarecrow were lying there not moving, and with the cover of dust it couldn't spot them, but once they made a slight move, it noticed them immediately.
Even though the two sides were still quite far apart, the Big Slime suddenly leaped up high.
A move of , aimed at one person and one scarecrow.
Before the attack landed, shadows first enveloped them.
"Run!"
Li Pu suddenly pulled up the scarecrow and dashed away.
The scarecrow let out a shout, hurriedly running for its life.
Boom!
Even though the Big Slime's smash didn't hit one person and one scarecrow, the wave of sand it stirred up was like a tidal wave that completely buried the edge of the scarecrow.
"This..."
Barely escaping with his life, Li Pu felt a bit unsettled.
If that butt slam had landed solidly, he might have lost half his life.
However, a few seconds later, he took new action.
Instead of continuing to flee, he turned to face the enemy.
He calmed his mind, activated , and quickly chewed and swallowed a Force Mushroom.
The warm current representing strength quickly swept through his entire body and limbs.
"Whew..."
Li Pu exhaled a slightly muddled white breath, feeling extremely comfortable all over.
Seeing the enemy still standing lively in front of it, the Big Slime rolled over directly, releasing a .
Against this impact, Li Pu had a very intuitive feeling.
That is, it's slow, too slow.
However, the opponent's size was large, so the area of attack was naturally large too.
So Li Pu still had to move a long distance to evade.
He was confident about this.
Because he knew he had activated the of a cripple...
"Poof!"
Just as the thought arose, it was interrupted, and he got hit.
Unexpectedly, the body of the Big Slime was still able to deform, with one part forcefully stretching out, hitting the Li Pu who should have successfully dodged.
Turns out this wasn't an ordinary slime's , but a with a hidden deadly move!
Just like he learned before, the Historical Bomb Shock move wasn't particularly significant, but those hit could be sent flying quite far.
As he felt a pain on his side waist, Li Pu found himself flying through the air.
Luckily, below was sand, so he shouldn't get injured too easily.
Thud!
Falling onto the sand, he used continuous rolls to reduce the impact force.
He had been knocked away by his grandfather before, more than once.
So dealing with this kind of situation was already second nature to him.
"Damn it."
However, after coming to a stop, Li Pu was still gritting his teeth in pain.
After all, this was a magical beast's attack, unlike his grandfather who would hold back.
He now felt pain all over his body, so much that he almost couldn't exert any strength.
But at this moment, he could only grit his teeth and soldier on.
Because that Big Slime over there clearly wouldn't let him off.
Another attack was coming, and Li Pu quickly bolted to change positions.
The effect of was still there, so this time the dodge was relatively smooth.
He even deliberately didn't run far, and after the Big Slime landed and the sand wave subsided, he took the opportunity to rush forward and slash.
Whoosh!
After all, a slime is a slime. Even though this Big Slime's surface was tougher, it was still easily sliced open by the blade.
But the opponent was strong, and just a casual slash was far from causing serious harm.
No idea what element this slime represented; in any case, it didn't spray wind, earth, or sand. What it leaked was just ordinary blue blood.
"Just as expected."
Looking at the amount of blood flowing out, Li Pu felt he would have to slash it a dozen or even dozens of times to inflict heavy damage.
However, this situation was already part of his expectation.
A guardian of a small world core wasn't that easy to deal with.
The slashed Big Slime was obviously enraged and launched another at Li Pu.
"Does its energy never run out."
Having learned his lesson, Li Pu quickly opened the distance while frowning.
This creature was likely one of the berserk/balanced/wise ones, because only these three types could casually continuously launch skills—at least, that's how he understood it.
"I'm not afraid of you chasing me, just afraid you won't chase."
For now being relentlessly pursued, Li Pu didn't see it as a bad thing.
He even intentionally led the Big Slime in a certain direction while running.
The location was exactly where its first had formed a sandy pit.
More precisely, the edge of the pit.
Because over there, a Horned Blade stuck out of the sand was slowly waving at a very slow pace.
If someone were close enough, they'd hear a faint cry.
Yes, the scarecrow that had activated was already prepared in advance.
Since an excessively slow move couldn't actively hit the enemy, why not let the enemy deliver itself to your door?
Now all it needed was for Li Pu to lure the target over to complete that powerful strike.
Such a mere slime dared to make Ben Cao eat sand.
Watch as Ben Cao chops you to pieces, Cao!
