Is the closed beta test of King of Loque over? The official release is here!

"Do you think... we could let our pets help with the chopping?"

Fang Xu was the first to scratch his head: "How are we supposed to chop this down? Pets don't know their own strength; what if they blow up the whole tree? Wouldn't that be destructive? Besides, it's questionable whether some pets can even handle the chopping. Also, can our pets share in the Wood Clan's blessings that we receive?"

Mo Fan said nonchalantly, "You'll know once you try."

As he spoke, he released the Fire-Eyed Lizard first.

Murong Jiao didn't hesitate either; she hadn't retracted the electric fox in the first place, so she patted its head directly.

Murong Sha summoned the spirit fox, while Fang Xu summoned the Sea Flash Star.

Four pets stood together in the ironwood forest.

Next, it's time to try.

......

......

After some attempts.

The four discovered that their pets could also see the branches that needed to be cut down.

"Electric Fox, use Thunder Spear on that glowing branch," Murong Jiao pointed to a target.

The electric fox moved nimbly, conjuring a semi-transparent lightning spear from its mouth, which it thrust out with precision.

"Snap—!"

The spearhead pierced the base of the branch, leaving a charred ring on the cut surface from the electric current. The branch snapped off.

Clean and neat, with clean cuts.

"It worked! The Thunder Spear is effective!" Murong Jiao's eyes lit up.

Thunder Spear is an electric-based physical skill. Its attack form is a concentrated strike compressed into a spear shape. The direction and range are controllable. It's perfect for precisely severing branches.

Murong Jiao initially tried to have the electric fox use electric shocks, but the effect was not good because the damage from the electric shocks was too scattered, and not only could they not break the branches, but they would also damage the trees.

Fortunately, her electric fox possesses the skill Thunder Spear.

[Thunder Spear: Electric/Physical type, Power 65, PP 15, has a certain probability of inflicting paralysis or fear on the enemy; the two effects cannot occur simultaneously.]

"Watch me, watch me!" Seeing Murong Jiao succeed, Fang Xu was not to be outdone.

Hai Shanxing's round body floated in the air, its eyes suddenly brightened, and a beam of aurora shot out, striking another diseased branch.

The ice energy created a layer of frost-white cracks on the contact surface, and the branches broke off at the cracks.

However, the break was not very smooth, and frozen wood chips were scattered all over the ground.

"It's barely usable," Murong Jiao commented.

Fang Xu scratched his head, looking embarrassed. He had previously let Hai Shanxing try out many skills. However, skills like Bubble Technique and Water Ripple were also unsuitable for chopping trees. Fortunately, Hai Shanxing also knew ice-type skills—namely, Aurora Ray. However, the Aurora Ray's compression effect was still inferior to Thunder Spear. But at least it could chop trees, and it was indeed more efficient than manpower.

[Aurora Beam: Ice-type magic, power 65, with a chance to lower the opponent's attack level when PP is 20.]

Chapter 192 Winged System Dominates

Meanwhile, Murong Sha shook her head.

Through the cases of Murong Jiao and Fang Xu, Murong Sha has roughly understood what skills can be used to cut down trees.

That is, the kind of attack method that is compressed and has high intensity.

Her spirit fox also possesses these skills, such as the Critical Strike Gun and the Fire Blade.

However, the actual results were not satisfactory.

While Critical Strike Gun and Fire Blade are also focused attacks, these two skills, like other fire-type skills, have a certain degree of burning effect. Ironwood, though hard, is not fire-resistant. Once ignited, it will at least ruin the wood, or worse, start a forest fire.

“Fire-attribute pets are not suitable for this mission.” Murong Sha came to this conclusion, then calmly withdrew her gaze without forcing the issue.

finally--

Then it was Mo Fan's turn to use his Fire-Eyed Lizard.

The Fire-Eyed Lizard squatted on the ground, its four short legs supporting its round body, and its pair of handsome, large eyes staring straight at Mo Fan.

Mo Fan looked at it.

It was also looking at Mo Fan.

Mo Fan was thinking.

It is also thinking.

Rock and Earth-type attacks generally have a wide area of ​​effect, both in the early and late game. Examples include early-game skills like Sand Hell, Mudslide, and Stone Power. Later-game skills include Avalanche, Stone Blast, and Rock Burst...

Actually, it doesn't seem to be very suitable for cutting down trees.

"Wait a minute." Mo Fan seemed to have thought of something.

"It seems there is still one skill that can be used, which appears to be the only attack skill of the Stone and Earth elements that uses highly compressed energy."

Mo Fan looked at the Fire-Eyed Lizard and commanded, "Fire-Eyed Lizard, use your brushstrokes on that branch ahead!"

The Fire-Eyed Lizard charged toward that branch, where a blade formed from the power of the earth materialized before it.

In the next lesson, the sharp blade swung down towards that branch.

With a snap, the branch broke off!

Seeing this, Mo Fan laughed: "It seems that the Fire-Eyed Lizard can also work."

[Pen Tip: Earth-type physical attack, power 40, PP 30, guaranteed hit!]

Murong Jiao then spoke up to summarize:

"So at the moment, the only ones we can use are the Electric Fox, the Sea Flash Star, and the Fire-Eyed Lizard."

"As for Sasha's fire fox, it's not suitable for the logging task."

"Three pets seem to be about as efficient as we'd like, at least much faster than us just using axes..."

Murong Jiao was thinking about her next steps.

But at that moment, Murong Sha took out another Gulu Ball.

It's not the one from the spirit fox.

It's another one.

"Second Sister!" Fang Xu's voice rose a half-octave, his eyes widening in disbelief. "You have a second pet?!"

Murong Sha didn't explain further, only saying casually, "The spirit fox isn't suitable for logging, but my other partner should be very suitable."

The Gulu Ball opens.

As the white light faded, a chubby yellow bird appeared before everyone.

With its round body, short but powerful wings, and most striking feature, it wears a helmet on its head that resembles a tortoise shell. It looks adorable, yet inexplicably exudes a wild and untamed spirit.

Mo Fan's gaze fell on the little bird, and information automatically surfaced in his mind.

【Cloudwing Sparrow】

[Attribute: Winged]

[Level: 19]

[Hobby: Enjoys fast-paced attacks.]

[Synopsis: A little yellow sparrow was captured and put into a square box. Inside were many pigs wearing helmets. They were said to be their enemies.]

"Second Sister! Your second pet is level 19 too!" Fang Xu's eyes were full of admiration. "You're really amazing!"

Murong Sha simply smiled and didn't reply.

Murong Jiao seemed completely unsurprised, hands on her hips, her tone tinged with pride: "Of course, my sister isn't some novice with only one pet."

Despite her words, she was also very curious about the actual effects of the Cloudwing Sparrow.

Based on the experimental results just now, the skills suitable for logging have one thing in common: small-scale, high-compression, and directional controllability.

Fire magic won't work; it will burn.

Water-based systems won't work, unless it's an extreme compression form like ice-based systems or high-pressure jets.

Grass-type moves are not good; they are more for restraint and support.

But the wing system.......

Most of the skills of the Winged type naturally possess the "cutting" attribute. Moreover, they are almost all linear and concentrated attack methods.

A perfect match.

“Cloudwing Sparrow.” Murong Sha’s voice was calm and clear. “Use Vacuum Slash on that glowing branch in front of you.”

The cloud-winged finch chirped, and its short wings suddenly spread out.

In the next instant, its entire body transformed into a golden afterimage, flying straight towards the target branch.

Extremely fast.

It was so fast that Fang Xu couldn't even see its flight path clearly.

"laugh--"

After a very faint whooshing sound, the Cloudwing Sparrow landed steadily on another branch, tilting its head and looking back at everyone with its round eyes.

And that ironwood branch, as thick as a forearm—

Click.

The cut was as smooth as a mirror; it broke off directly at the root and fell to the ground.

The entire room fell silent for a second.

"Good heavens!" Murong Jiao was the first to react, her pigtails swung wildly, her eyes shining like light bulbs. "That was too decisive! It broke in an instant?"

Fang Xu stared, his mouth agape for a long time before he could close it. He gave a thumbs-up: "Second Sister is awesome!"

Mo Fan was also quite surprised by the effect.

In comparison—Electric Fox's Thunder Spear requires charging and aiming, Sea Flash Star's Aurora Ray's cuts are not clean enough, and Fire Eye Lizard's Pen Strike, while precise, has limited power and requires close-range attack.
