Chapter 220 Giant Whale Lotus Root
The bait strategy was quite useful. As soon as Duoze was thrown into the water, he immediately attracted the nearby puppet lotus roots to swarm in.
Malu saw that on the chessboard map, the dense red dots all rushed to the grid where Duoze was, and the number of puppet lotus roots in the nearby area decreased greatly.
Success?
Although there were many puppet lotus roots attacking Duoze, it looked very scary, but Duoze was wearing a power armor provided by the church with a defense of up to 11 points. Those puppet lotus roots actually had no way to deal with him for a while.
This also bought Malu more time. The purple-haired girl drove the aircraft to the salvage point 20 grids away. Malu tied the rope around his waist as before, and then jumped down.
He dived about twelve or thirteen meters and reached the bottom of the lake. Then Malu turned on the armor's lighting system and quickly found the meteorite fragment.
He did not rush back to the aircraft, but walked to the two grids away, where there was another piece. Since the two pieces of meteorite fragments were close to each other, Malu planned to pick them up together.
This time he took a little longer, because the meteorite fragment had been buried in the mud. If it were not for the chessboard map marking the exact location, no one would have found it.
Just as Malu was concentrating on digging the mud, he felt the light behind him dim...
On the other side of the aircraft, Yun Que was staring at the lake with his eyes wide open.
It had been 7 minutes since Malu went into the water, and no news had come back. Just when the girl was worried that Malu had encountered some trouble, the rope was suddenly pulled three times.
This was the signal that Malu had agreed to get out of the water.
Seeing this, the purple-haired girl activated the mechanical arm and began to retract the rope. However, this time she felt that the weight below was much heavier, and it was much more difficult to pull than before.
The hellhound couldn't help but complain, "Ah, are meteorite fragments so heavy?"
Skylark and others came to help and pulled the millipede out of the water.
Then Skylark screamed.
She saw a black shadow covered in mud lying on the millipede's armor, and there were two other black shadows, one holding the millipede's waist and the other pulling his thigh.
The hellhound looked down and said, "It's a puppet lotus root."
"It's probably some scattered ones nearby that were not attracted by the bait, and the knight happened to encounter them." Bird of Paradise said.
"Oh, this is the first time I've seen a real thing. It looks very similar to humans, but it doesn't have facial features." Ouroboros was also looking at the three animated plants wrapped around the millipede with great interest.
Only Skylark looked at his three companions with an incredible expression, "Why can you be so calm? The knight is being invaded by the enemy!"
"He has armor, and he's not hurt." Ouroboros said.
"But, but... those enemies will be brought up together." Skylark said anxiously, "Don't we need to prepare for the battle in advance?"
"It's just a puppet lotus root, is there any need to be so nervous?" Hellhound said disapprovingly.
"Ahhound, you always say it lightly."
"No, as long as the puppet lotus root leaves the water, it is indeed no longer a threat."
This time it was the Bird of Paradise who spoke, "The teacher has taught these basic knowledge in class. Skylark, you were dozing off at that time and didn't listen carefully."
"Ah, is that so?" Skylark scratched his head.
Soon, the millipede and the three puppet lotus roots were pulled onto the aircraft.
The result was just as the Bird of Paradise said. Even with the debuff of the reverse attribute, the purple-haired girl only used 4 swords to kill a puppet lotus root.
Then the Bird of Paradise and Ouroboros worked together to kill another one, and the remaining one was pressed down by the weight of the armor of the millipede.
The Ouroboros walked over and was about to get rid of the last enemy, but was stopped by the millipede.
"Wait."
"Hmm?"
"Leave this one alive, I'm going to take it away." Malu said as he took out the collection bag.
After upgrading to lv6, the desktop farm can already grow activated plants.
Malu also plans to try to grow a batch this time, starting with this puppet lotus root.
Just as he asked Yun Que to hold the bag and stuff the puppet lotus root into it, the originally quiet lake below suddenly became turbulent.
Malu then seemed to have thought of something, and said to the purple-haired girl, "Quick, raise the altitude of the aircraft a little more and leave this lake."
"Well, didn't you say there was still a piece of meteorite fragment that you didn't get?" Hellhound said as he sat in the main driving position again, pulled up the joystick, and let the warhorse start to rise.
"Forget it, don't want that piece." Malu said, "There is a big thing awake under the lake."
That was the largest and deepest red dot Malu had seen in this plane for so long. The red dot occupied a full 30 grids, and the color was so dark that it was almost black.
Its name is the King of the Lake, Giant Whale Lotus Root. When the millipede was at the bottom of the lake, it just passed by the millipede and blocked all the light.
Fortunately, the thing was heading towards Duoze at that time. It was probably because those puppet lotus roots had been unable to do anything to Duoze, so they alarmed their king.
When the millipede stuffed the puppet lotus root on the spacecraft into the collection bag, he looked at the chessboard map again, and he could no longer find Duoze's name.
And then everyone saw that the Mirror Lake was rippled again, and a huge black shadow flashed under the lake.
Not only Skylark, but even Ouroboros and Bird of Paradise looked unhappy. The only one who could still smile was probably the heartless Hellhound.
"Really? There is such a big activated plant. I hope I can have a chance to fight it in the future."
"Forget it." Malu said.
Although the traveler's bracelet could not scan the star level of the giant whale lotus root because of the distance, its attribute panel was already outrageous. Its HP was as high as 10,000 and its attack power exceeded 120. Even with the knight armor specially made by the church, it could not withstand its bite.
No wonder Duoze disappeared silently.
But this result is not bad. In this way, Duoze died in the mouth of the giant whale lotus root instead of his hand.
Malu then led a batch of activated plants to the place where the two sides had fought before. In this way, even if the church sent people to investigate later, they would only think that it was the activated plants that did it.
Ouroboros watched Malu running around and faking the scene, his eyes full of admiration, and couldn't help but ask again, "Who are you?"
"Me? Of course I'm a knight." Malu said without blushing.
"How is that possible? Knights are not as insidious as you."
"Well, I'm actually a hunter."
"Hunter? What's that?"
"More than two hundred years ago, when there were still animals outside, people who made a living by hunting those animals." Bird of Paradise explained.
Ouroboros curled his lips, "Tsk, another lie."
