CHAPTER 39: CHAPTER 14: ENDLESS SPIRITUAL ENERGY

Suddenly, Li Cunxu frowned, Little Medicine Deer is hard to deal with, it feels like Little Medicine Deer is the nemesis of Xiaoruan.

Water Ball, Little Medicine Deer is a wood-type pet, and water-type skills are countered by it.

Throw Mud, earth-type is also countered by wood-type.

Trash Gas, poison-type skills counter wood-type, but the problem is that the antlers of Little Medicine Deer, which can detoxify all poisons, are not for show, so trash gas is completely ineffective on it.

Blow Wind, the wind and wood attributes counter each other depending on who is stronger.

When the wind is strong, wood is weak; when the forest is standing tall, the wind will definitely destroy it.

When the wind is weak, wood is strong; the group of trees blocks the wind, not letting it rampage.

Just from its momentum, Little Medicine Deer doesn’t look like a weak opponent, the effect of Blow Wind would likely be very limited.

Grass Blade, a wood-type skill against a wood-type pet, how much damage can it deal?

Collision, breaking through the limit three times, catching it by surprise, resolving Little Medicine Deer wouldn’t be a problem.

But Li Cunxu doesn’t want to reveal the three-times-limit-break Collision just yet, he wants to save it for the final match.

As a seasoned strategist, he feels insecure if he doesn’t have seven to eight hundred cards up his sleeve.

It can be foreseen that this match will be very tricky.

At this moment, Li Cunxu realized that Xiaoruan has a narrow attack range and needs to enrich its skill pool.

Outside, many spectators are analyzing the outcome of the match.

"Although that Water Slime is quite good, Little Medicine Deer will definitely win this match."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Don’t you know about Little Medicine Deer? In the late game, it can fight a pure-blooded dragon pet without being at a disadvantage."

"Moreover, Little Medicine Deer has an attribute advantage over Water Slime."

The referee’s announcement of the start of the battle snapped Li Cunxu back to the battlefield.

"Yo yo~"

Little Medicine Deer let out a provocative, ethereal sound.

This sparked a bit of anger in Li Cunxu’s heart, the voice of Little Medicine Deer is particularly infuriating and attracts hatred.

"Little Medicine Deer, Sharp Wood Horn."

The antlers on its head glowed with a layer of green light, Little Medicine Deer shook its head, and the antlers seemed to perform a sword flourish.

Little Medicine Deer showed a look of pride, slightly arrogantly gazing at Li Cunxu and Xiaoruan.

"Sharp Wood Horn has a strong attack power, it can easily pierce through thick tree bark, if Xiaoruan takes a hit, it might be out on the spot."

"Xiaoruan not only lacks attack skills but also lacks defensive skills," thought Li Cunxu.

"Xiaoruan, unleash Grass Blade with all your might, don’t let it get close."

Li Cunxu’s response was simple, just keep it from getting close, as long as it can’t hit Xiaoruan, it’s fine.

As Grass Blades slashed forth, Little Medicine Deer flicked its antlers, easily breaking through them.

Chen Lu said, "Use Swift Deer Collision to get close."

Li Cunxu shouted loudly, "Infinite Grass Blade Slash."

Xiaoruan unleashed grass blades like ocean waves, wave after wave, endlessly, actually pushing the approaching Little Medicine Deer back.

Chen Lu encouraged, "Little Medicine Deer, hold on a bit longer, its spiritual energy will soon be depleted."

After a minute, the slashing Grass Blades showed no sign of stopping, and Little Medicine Deer was almost being slashed out of the arena by them, being forced out of the arena means a loss, and the green glow on the antlers dimmed considerably.

Chen Lu realized this couldn’t go on, a counterattack was necessary.

Yo Yo Deer Cry!

Chen Lu let out an ethereal deer cry, as if a divinity in the forest was singing to nature.

Little Medicine Deer’s antlers revitalized, stepping forward against the Grass Blades.

"Molan Mechanism Technique."

Chen Lu murmured softly, her beautiful eyes turned into a blossoming Molan.

A Molan broke through the soil, entwining the earth, forming a two-meter-tall earth apparatus figure.

Tongdu, a city players both love and hate.

They love it because being born in Tongdu, there’s a high chance of awakening a handsome Pupil Technique Eye.

They hate it because NPCs in Tongdu have the pupil technique talent, heavily boosting their difficulty to deal with.

The earth apparatus figure made a big leap, landing in front of Little Medicine Deer, its arms folded, blocking the incessant Grass Blades.

"Now’s the time, Little Medicine Deer, Vines Entwine."

Green vines, like spirit snakes, advanced quickly from the ground.

"Jump, and add Blow Wind."

Xiaoruan jumped high, blowing wind to the ground to jump even higher, avoiding the entangling vines.

"Little Medicine Deer, strike."

Little Medicine Deer stepped on the earth apparatus figure’s shoulders, leaping high, heading to slam into Xiaoruan in the air.

"Blow wind to the right, change direction."

Xiaoruan, like an airy balloon, dodged Little Medicine Deer’s strike.

Faced with one against two, Xiaoruan couldn’t manage, unless it exposed the collision skill, but even if exposed, it might not win.

Li Cunxu realized he had to step in.

"Xiaoruan, keep a distance, continue Infinite Grass Blade Slash, leave the earth apparatus figure to me."

Xiaoruan once again unleashed Infinite Grass Blade Slash, as the scenario before, again suppressing Little Medicine Deer.

Li Cunxu spread his hands flat towards the earth apparatus figure, shouting:

"Water Ball Gatling."

Six water balls circled around his hands, spinning faster and faster, shooting out like Gatling bullets, initially the earth apparatus figure could block them, but as time passed, the water balls, like bullets, chipped away at the earth apparatus figure’s mud bit by bit, its body shrinking, eventually reverting to its original form.

Elsewhere, Xiaoruan also used Infinite Grass Blade Slash to slash Little Medicine Deer out of the battlefield.

Chen Lu, knowing victory was hopeless, conceded.

The audience watched in disbelief.

"How many Grass Blades have been unleashed? How many Water Balls?"

"It feels like they could continue for a while longer, doesn’t Water Slime pay for its Spiritual Energy?"

"The storage of Spiritual Energy competes with well-endowed dragon pets, could this Water Slime be a dragon pet in Slime’s skin?"

"Could they be cheating, using some tool to pre-store a large amount of Spiritual Energy?"

"Are you stupid? Both sides signed a fair competition contract before the match, cheating is impossible."

"Mommy, that Slime is amazing, when I grow up, I also want a Slime contract."

"No way," the mother responded coldly.

"I waaaaant," the kid retorted.

The brat stood with hands on hips, head extended in argument.

"If you dare make a contract with a Slime, I’ll make you eat bamboo shoots stir-fried with meat every time I see you."

"Fine, no contract then, why be so fierce." The brat, scared, covered their backside and retreated quietly.

Having won this battle, Li Cunxu was dissatisfied, winning by sheer quantity lacked any skill.

Xiaoruan’s skills need diversification, and the quickest way is through skill experience boosts.

"Get some other attribute Slimes to make up for Xiaoruan’s weaknesses."

In Tongdu’s vicinity, Li Cunxu could safely capture only Water, Grass, and Earth Slimes, other attribute Slimes require venturing into the wild, and Li Cunxu’s strength isn’t enough for such excursions.

Hence, Li Cunxu could only resort to offering online bounties to collect other Slimes.

Returning to the ranch, Li Cunxu was astonished at the cartload of things Lin Jiusan had brought back.

"You gathered everything on the list so quickly?"

"Yes."

"Where’s the black cat sculpture?"

"Here it is."

Lin Jiusan reached into the deepest part of the carriage, pulling out a wooden crate, manually prying open the nails sealing the black cat sculpture.

"Why do you need this thing? Heard from family that this black cat sculpture is sinister, whoever takes it gets misfortune, and the longer it’s taken, the worse the luck, eventually leading to death. Only by returning the black cat sculpture to its place can the bad luck end."
