Chapter 220: Giant Whale Lotus
The bait strategy is quite effective. As soon as Tozawa was thrown into the water, he immediately attracted a swarm of nearby puppet Lotus.
Ma Lu saw that on the chessboard map, the densely packed small red dots were all rushing towards the grid where Duo Zhe was, and the number of puppet lotus roots in the nearby area was greatly reduced.
Success?
Although there are many puppet lotuses attacking Duozhe, which looks very scary, Duozhe is wearing the power armor provided by the church and has a defense power of up to 11 points. Those puppet lotuses can actually take it for a while. There was nothing he could do.
This also bought Malu more time. The purple-haired girl drove the aircraft to the salvage point 20 blocks away. As before, Malu tied the rope around his waist, then jumped and jumped.
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 two blocks away. There was another meteorite fragment there. Because the two meteorite fragments were relatively close, Malu planned to pick them up together.
This time it took him a little longer, because the meteorite fragment had been buried in the mud. If it hadn't been for the accurate location marked on the chessboard map, no one would have been able to find it.
And while Malu was concentrating on digging through the mud, he felt the light behind him dim...
On the other side of the aircraft, Skylark was looking at the lake with his eyes wide open.
It had been 7 minutes since Malu entered 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 is the signal that Malu agreed to get out of the water.
Seeing this, the purple-haired girl activated the robotic arm and began to retract the rope. However, this time she felt that the weight below was much heavier, and it was much harder to pull than before.
Cerberus couldn't help complaining, "Ah, are the meteorite fragments so heavy?"
After hearing this, Yunque and others also came to help, and worked together to pull Malu out of the water.
Then Skylark let out a scream.
She saw a black shadow covered in mud lying on Malu's armor, and there were two other black figures, one hugging Malu's waist, and the other pulling one of his thighs.
Cerberus looked down and said, "It's the puppet lotus root."
"It is estimated that there are some scattered ones nearby that were not attracted by the bait, and they happened to be met by the Lord Knight." said the Bird of Paradise.
"Oh, this is the first time I have seen a real thing. It does look very similar to humans, but without facial features." Ouroboros was also looking at the three activated plants wrapped around Malu's body with interest.
Only Skylark looked at the three companions with an incredible expression, "Why can you be so calm? The Lord Knight is being invaded by the enemy!"
"Don't he have armor? He wasn't hurt either," Ouroboros said.
"But, but...those enemies are about to be brought up together." Skylark said anxiously, "Don't we need to prepare for battle in advance."
"It's just a doll lotus root, Is it necessary to be so nervous?" Cerberus said disapprovingly.
"Ah Quan, you always speak very lightly."
"No, as long as the doll lotus root leaves the water, it is indeed no threat."
The person who spoke this time was Ji Le. Bird, "the teacher has taught these basic knowledge in class. Skylark, you were dozing off again at that time, so you didn't pay attention to the lecture."
"Ah, is that so?" Skylark scratched his head.
Soon, Malu and the three puppet lotus roots were pulled onto the aircraft.
The result was just like what the Bird of Paradise said, the purple-haired girl gave away a puppet lotus root with only 4 swords, even with the reverse attribute debuff.
Then the Bird of Paradise and Ouroboros worked together to kill the other one, and the remaining one was pinned down by the weight of the millipede's armor.
Ouroboros walked over and was about to kill the last enemy, but was stopped by Malu. "Wait."
"Huh?"
"Keep this alive, I want to take it away." Malu said while taking out the collection bag again.
After upgrading to level 6, activated plants can now be grown on the desktop farm.
Ma Lu plans to try planting a batch of lotus roots this time when he goes back, starting with this doll lotus root.
And just when he asked Skylark to hold the bag and stuff the doll lotus root inside, the originally quiet lake below suddenly became rough.
Ma Lu then seemed to have thought of something and said to the purple-haired girl, "Quick, raise the height of the aircraft and leave this lake."
"Well, didn't you say that there are still some meteorite fragments that you haven't gotten?" Cerberus said as he sat in the driver's seat again, pulled up the joystick, and let the war horse start to rise.
“Forget it, I don’t want that piece anymore.” Malu said, “There’s something big waking up under the lake.”
That’s the biggest and deepest thing Malu has seen in all his time in this plane. A red dot occupies a full 30 squares, and the color is so dark that it almost turns black.
Its name is the King of the Lake, Giant Whale Lotus. When the horse was at the bottom of the lake, it just passed by the horse and blocked all the light.
Fortunately, the thing was heading towards Duozhe. It was probably because those dolls, Lotus Root, had been unable to do anything to Duozhe, and this alerted their king.
When Ma Lu stuffed the puppet lotus root on the spaceship into the collection bag, he looked at the chessboard map and found Duozhe's name nowhere to be found.
And then everyone saw circles of ripples appearing in Yuanjing Lake, and a huge black shadow flashed across the lake.
Not only Skylark, but also Ouroboros and Bird of Paradise looked unhappy. The only one who could laugh was probably the heartless Cerberus.
"It's true or not, there is such a big activated plant. I hope I can fight it in the future."
"Let's forget it." Ma Lu said.
Although the traveler's bracelet could not scan the star rating of the giant whale lotus 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 if it was specially made by the church, Even the knight's armor can't bear it.
No wonder Duozhe disappeared quietly.
But this result is not bad. In this way, Tozawa would have died in the mouth of the giant whale Lotus Root instead of his hands.
Ma Lu then led a batch of activated plants to the place where the two sides fought before. In this way, even if the church sent people to investigate later, they would only think that they were the hands of activated plants and animals.
Ouroboros watched the millipede running around, faking the scene, its eyes full of admiration, and couldn't help but ask again, "Who are you?"
"Me, of course I am a knight." Ma Lu said without blushing.
"How is it possible, knights are not as insidious as you."
"Well, I am actually a hunter."
"Hunter? What is that. "
"When there were animals outside more than two hundred years ago, people made a living by hunting those animals," Bird of Paradise explained.
Ouroboros curled his lips and said, "Oh, that's another lie."
