Chapter 1404: Chapter 1404

The targets had appeared, and Du You and company naturally wouldn’t wait any longer. The two sisters made their move, but they didn’t attack the Dark Vine Demon Emperor because Du You wanted to use it to create a Summoned Beast, so it was best if he acted personally.

Although the two sisters’ actions had a small impact, they still had some influence.

The continuous barrage of arrows from the two sisters accurately pierced through the cores of several tier-five Magic Vines, causing a significant shift in the battlefield dynamics. The Dark Vine Demon Emperor was losing vines at an increasing rate and became anxious.

Unfortunately, the Dark Vine Demon Emperor was now completely unable to leave. The Death God Scorpion controlled Land Power, forcefully rolling over the ground, squeezing out all the water, leaving behind a solid foundation.

A part of the ground was turned into a desert environment by the Death God Scorpion, making the sand more agile than the vines. Although this quicksand couldn’t entangle other enemies, it easily ensnared the vines. Thus, the Dark Vine Demon Emperor had no chance to escape and was surrounded by other watching Summoned Beasts.

Du You had already flown upwards, looking at the Dark Vine Demon Emperor, growing more pleased the more he watched. Even with many equally strong Summoned Beasts attacking, this creature still managed to barely withstand.

Perhaps its combat strength wasn’t very strong and its attack power was even worse, but the Dark Vine Demon Emperor’s ability to entangle its enemies was truly terrifying. If there was an equal-level enemy, perhaps they could be entangled forever.

Letting them continue to fight would take an unknown amount of time, and Du You didn’t have so much time to waste.

With a wave of his hand, a huge Magic Array appeared in the sky, and a fireball was brewing within.

Destruction Flames, this time using only a fireball, but Du You took a long time to condense it. Sensing the danger, the Dark Vine Demon Emperor wanted to escape but had no chance as it was firmly held in place by the Death God Scorpion.

Even faced with the fireball smashing down from the sky, the Death God Scorpion did not flinch.

With a loud "boom," the black fireball struck the Dark Vine Demon Emperor, and the terrifying shockwave surged in all directions. Under the enveloping flames, the Dark Vine Demon Emperor could no longer withstand.

During the explosion of the fireball, most of the Dark Vine Demon Emperor’s vines were directly burned to ashes, and the toxins were dispersed by burning. This was an overpowering force, so powerful that no other tactics were viable. Even the root system was mostly shattered, and the core inside, delicate like a black gemstone, was vaguely visible.

It resembled the spherical core of other Magic Vines, but was completely different - this was a change in material.

"Not enough, one more." Du You didn’t even glance at the severely injured but still persevering Death God Scorpion, and without hesitation, released another fireball. The already injured Dark Vine Demon Emperor had no way out this time.

With the fireball striking down, accompanied by the second attack, all the vines of the Dark Vine Demon Emperor were burned away, leaving not much of its root system. However, that rigid core didn’t leave a trace.

"Forget it, don’t kill it. Remove its root system and let me see." Du You found this thing to be really tough. So, he thought about it and decided not to kill the Dark Vine Demon Emperor, to see if it could be controlled alive.

The surrounding Summoned Beasts fought together, crushing those vines and roots in a moment.

Du You walked forward and experimented a bit, discovering that this thing could indeed be used. As long as he could fully control it, his current strength could make the Magic Array effective. It was even possible that using this kind of living biological transformation could yield even better results, but this was after all his first time transforming a plant Magical Beast, and he was not sure about the effectiveness.

"Let’s just experiment ." Du You finally made a decision.

Looking over at the two sisters, they had completely suppressed those Magic Vines. Because the Dark Vine Demon Emperor had not died, those Magic Vines had no way to escape, and could only desperately come to the rescue.

However, this disorganized and chaotic way of fighting had no effect at all. After the two sisters took care of those powerful Magic Vines, the remaining lower-tier Magic Vines were of little use.

From top to bottom, the suppression went on layer by layer, finally, all of the Dark Magic Vines were completely controlled. However, because there were too many, it seemed that it would take half a day to clean them up even if they went all out.

"Master, what is this?" Lin Yucha and Lin Yushi came over, looking at the Dark Vine Demon Emperor in the hands of the Death God Scorpion.

It was a basketball-sized black core, looking like a black gemstone. Wooden layers continuously grew on this gemstone; some started to grow into vines, others into roots.

But these things didn’t grow up before the Death God Scorpion rubbed them with his hands, all falling off.

The Death God Scorpion kept rubbing, and the thing kept growing, eventually turning into a very eerie scene.

"I want to try it alive, I have a hunch that this will definitely succeed, and the enhancement of the Summoned Beasts will be greater, most importantly the intelligence increase will be bigger. After all, this is a plant, and it’s already similar to the other Summoned Beasts. If it dies and then I do this, I’m afraid I might turn this guy into an idiot."

Since there’s an opportunity now and he also has the capability, why not experiment a bit? At worst, failing means he has a useless skill to maintain, which is not much of an issue. In fact, many people keep useless skills.

A useless skill is just not very useful in general, but that doesn’t mean it’s worthless. By keeping it, one can increase their own foundation and the possibility of breaking through. If not kept, it would instead become a burden.

"As long as you’re happy." Lin Yushi and Lin Yucha exchanged glances, feeling somewhat helpless.

There was no helping it, their master often acted very capriciously, and it was hard to know what he was thinking. Follow current novels on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽

Du You didn’t mind, and let the two sisters command the battle, while he cleaned the site of the battle and then took out materials to start setting up the Magic Array. The Magic Array was still in its original form, but as his own strength improved, the materials needed would become more advanced, which were all deduced by himself.

The person who left the inheritance to him originally had not reached the tier six level, and that guy was probably only tier five at best. Fortunately, there was the Skill Hall, which could help Du You perfect various skills he wanted.

The Skill Hall was not just for evolving one’s own professional skills; in fact, it could help deduce any skills. However, this function was generally not accessed by others except for lords like Du You.
