Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

Li Ang warned them: "Be careful, it knows your attack power is high, prepare to change the attack method."

In the distance, the Baomu Poison Dragon's throat moved, and a liquid poison arrow made of black venom sprayed straight towards Zoe's position.

She and Alulu dodged immediately, and the tree roots where they were standing were instantly hit by the venom.

This attack was comparable to a 6th-level water spell. Half of the thick tree root was pierced through. The remaining venom quickly corroded the root, and the rest flowed into the lake. In an instant, some small creatures floated up from the water with their bellies turned upside down.

In game terms, this means dealing enough damage for the boss to transition to another phase.

The poisonous dragon shot poisonous arrows continuously from a distance, and the girls had to dodge in a hurry.

The poisonous water damaged the tree roots where they were standing, making it difficult for them to stand, so they had to change their battlefield.

"Go forward!" Zoe pointed to the area closer to the giant tree, where the terrain was flatter and better for fighting.

Dorothy used the flower vines to drag the calf and the white wolf, and was about to climb forward in the form of a flower beast. Suddenly, there was a shaking and banging sound under her feet, and the tree root area where everyone was standing was disconnected from other tree roots.

They immediately looked towards the poisonous dragon in the distance. It was the dragon that deliberately sprayed poisonous arrows to make everyone lose their footing.

The worm dragon's huge body dived into the lake and approached the crowd at high speed underwater. It did not rush out of the water immediately, but stirred up waves at the bottom of the water.

Amid the turbulent waves, the broken and detached tree roots quickly untangled themselves, becoming independent pieces of driftwood. The girls instantly dispersed as if they were each in their own canoe.

Zoe used the same strategy from her previous battle with the Cursescale Fish and transformed into an ice wolf to freeze the lake. However, the waves stirred up by the Worm Dragon underwater made it difficult for the ice to connect. As the driftwood swayed, Zoe in the form of an ice wolf could not fly, and even her spellcasting was affected.

Although the entire lake was covered with tree roots and they would not drift very far, the poisonous dragon's attack would obviously make them lose their footing and be isolated and helpless.

Over a long period of time, Mengze Island has formed its own monster ecosystem, with many aquatic monsters. Even the worm dragon has learned to use the aquatic environment to fight against different competitors in order to stand at the top of the ecology.

"What should I do? I can't guard everyone!"

Alulu's eyes were red with anxiety. Her strength allowed her to jump onto other driftwood, but she didn't know the location of the next attack from underwater, and the others were too far away to attack.

After all, they lacked experience in fighting large and powerful monsters, and the other three were a little panicked.

Sometimes the meaning of experience is not how high it elevates you, but to make choices in an instant that can at least provide a foundation for you.

At this moment, the four girls knew that this situation was life-threatening, but they didn't know how to deal with it.

"Lulu, throw away your shield. It might break if it takes another heavy blow. Ayame? Qi, you attack with your sword."

"Doro, cover the water with flower vines. Push away the floating tree roots and let them attack you as the primary target. Wrap the dragon vines around the staff and place it at the center. Lift Anto into the air and put her down before you are hit."

"Zoe, fly high and charge the wind blade. An, continue spreading the scent of blood."

Leon quickly instructed them on what to do, and he also gathered strength with his staff, ready to assist them if they were unable to cope.

The girls immediately did as they were told, and the moment they finished the arrangement, the Baomu Poison Dragon broke out of the water.

Its beast head opened a huge mouth with fascia on both sides, and its sharp teeth bit into the entangled luxuriant flower mouth.

The brutal force of the water carried the magic flower vine and Dorothy into the air. She was so nervous that her face turned pale. The flower vine extending from her back tightly wrapped around her body to protect her, so that she was not hurt by the dragon's bite.

"Take this opportunity to wrap around its head and control its movement." Leon shouted.

The scattered flower vines gathered in the center, enveloping the worm dragon's entire head. More flower vines frantically twisted around any tree roots they could find. As its body flushed blood, the Demon Flower struggled to stop the worm dragon's slide.

It swung its claws, trying to cut off the vines wrapped around its head with its sharp claws.

However, if it hadn't attacked on its own, with the speed of the Demon Flower, it wouldn't have been able to entangle it so firmly. Before it could catch up and entangle it, it would have thrown it off.

At this moment, the magic flowers on the vines were using their sword stamens to densely cut its scales, especially the softer flesh on its head, madly devouring the dragon's blood and magic power. It suddenly felt a little weak, cut open the outermost vines, but could not tear off all the restraints.

However, only the head was tied up. When the dragon's 40-meter-long body moved, the earth and the sky shook. It could not observe the enemy's position, but when its long and narrow body swept, it could cover the sky and the sun. The tree roots were broken and scattered by its crazy beating, which seemed like the destruction of the world.

The adventurers in the distance had retreated to a position where they could no longer be seen.

Sometimes, rashly using traps and restraints to control a monster without full control is dangerous. A monster at a disadvantage will launch a desperate counterattack, and an inexperienced Sky Knight can easily fall into this trap.

However, this storm soon showed signs of decline.

"It works!" Andasu shouted.

"Zoe!" Leon reminded the girl who was already waiting with the storm in her hand.

The celestial maiden with flying feathers swung her sword, and another wind blade that seemed to be able to cut the sky fell rapidly and hit the dragon's slender neck.

The scales and fascia of the dragon's neck were torn apart in an instant, and the vertebrae were severed. Although the air blade's power was slightly reduced and not enough to sever the neck with one sword, it almost cut off all the flesh and blood on the neck.

"Duolo, Dragon Branch." Leon said.

The flower vine in the worm dragon's mouth decomposed, and the blood-red dragon vine wrapped around the dragon-sealing staff and burst out blood-red dragon lightning, hitting the poisonous dragon's mouth directly.

Because her body was connected to the Magic Flower, the feeling of being half swallowed by the monster was also transmitted to Dorothy. She used up all her strength this time, and the dragon lightning exploded in the dragon's mouth, almost penetrating the skull.

The Baomu Poison Dragon, which was about to go crazy due to the pain in its neck, was suddenly shocked by this heavy blow. Although its body was still twisting, it was almost struggling before death.

Without needing Leon's reminder, Alulu grabbed the blood-burning giant sword and approached the poisonous dragon. She leaped up and slashed hard, and the sacred blade cut off its cervical vertebrae without stopping.

The huge and slender body trembled a few times and gradually became silent.

The girls looked up happily at Leon.

However, Leon raised his staff and condensed a sword of light.

Crack, crackle!

Amidst the dense cracking sounds, the dragon's body split into two, and the back half suddenly stood up, spewing poisonous rain into the sky.

The sword of light swept across his head, sweeping away the poison.

Leon looked at the bedraggled team members who had triumphed against this monster, feeling delighted. The team's formation was beginning to bear fruit.

However, they still lacked sufficient precautions against various monsters. The dragon, forced to death by them, hadn't unleashed its special attack, which sprayed poison over a large area, so it was bound to resort to this move in the end.

"It's its final counterattack," Leon said to the four people. "Only after this is over will it truly die."

234. Creation of Star Soul

"From now on, I will put up a wind shield after killing monsters." Zoe said angrily while cutting the dragon's scales.

Although the battle was won smoothly overall, it would be better to say that these problem girls seemed to have cheats, and with mutual cooperation, they should be able to defeat the powerful enemy.

However, they still didn't do it perfectly due to their lack of experience, which made Zoe very unhappy.

"You fought very well. Normal monsters use all their strength to fight, and there are very few monsters that fight back before dying." Li Ang said.

If he hadn't fought against this kind of worm dragon before, he wouldn't have thought of this situation.

Undead monsters, insects, and special monsters with bloated bodies would sometimes fight back after being destroyed, but that was common sense and could be predicted from their appearance. It was rare for dragons to do this.

The activity patterns of some dragons seemed to be aimed at expanding the strength of their population. Leon could only guess from the dragon myths told by Farina that this was the nature of the poisonous dragon clan. Worm dragons were keen on erosion and destruction, so they also had this characteristic of counterattack before death.

"But, but, if we had fought beautifully, we could have gotten praise from Leon." Zoe pouted and kicked a piece of useless worm dragon flesh aside as if to vent her anger.

Li Ang smiled, unable to do anything with her, and walked over to her and touched her head.

The girl's eyes lit up, and she immediately pushed in the direction of his palm and leaned against him.

"There's still work to do." Andasu, who was standing by, pulled out a dragon tendon and stared at Zoe with her pale golden eyes.

Zoe pressed her face against Leon's chest and abdomen, then turned around and stuck out her tongue and made a face at Andasu.

Bai Lang's handsome face immediately turned cold. He dropped the thing in his hand and stood up. "Want to fight?"

"First we need to collect the materials, and then we have to cut down the trees," said Li Ang.

"No."

Andasu walked up to him, her cold face showing shyness, her intention was obvious.

There was no other way, so Li Ang had to touch her head.

When the wolf ears brushed between his fingers, the girl with animal ears moaned softly, and the fragrance filled his nose, driving away the bloody smell around him. A big furry tail also wrapped around Leon's legs.

"Hey! Don't go too far!"

Starlight appeared on Zoe's body, and she transformed into an ice wolf, wrapping her tail around Leon.

The two furry wolf tails started fighting in the air, slapping each other, causing their hair to fly, and making Dorothy and Alulu, who wanted to come closer, cover their noses and retreat.

"OK OK."

Li Ang quickly said that it would only take about half a day to eliminate the monsters guarding the tree. The ecology of Mengze Island is prosperous, and other monsters will soon fill the dragon's hunting ground.

Time was not running out, so the cat and the dog stopped fighting and quickly organized the worm dragon materials while holding their breath.

Just like the balance given by the world, although the dragon's body is huge, not all of its scales can be used as materials.

After losing its vitality, along with the loss of its spirit, the magic power only remained in a part of the material.

The fascia serves as the base of the armor, the chest and abdominal scales headed by the inverse scales can be used, the claws and poison-spraying tubes can be used to make weapons, and the rest are basically useless with insufficient power.

Fortunately, there is a more heterogeneous monster here.

Dorothy's dragon branch raised its flower head from the flesh and blood of the Baomu Poison Dragon. It absorbed all the dragon power in the dragon's body and devoured its flesh and blood, growing greatly.

When Li Ang saw the new flower buds growing out of the blood-red withered vine, he felt that it would soon reach level 6.

After putting the materials into the dimensional rift, Leon smiled and pointed forward.

There are many sturdy and stable precious trees growing in the lake in the center of the island.

They do not have a specific scientific name. To be precise, the scientific name can point out a single tree in it, but cannot refer to all of them.

If biologists were to worry about categories, they would never be able to figure it out.

Because they are completely different kinds of trees, but they all have roots lush enough to cover the lake and thick trunks that grow very well and reach up to the sky.

This phenomenon has always been a mystery to many scholars.

For ease of understanding and because it is a common convention among adventurers, these trees are collectively referred to as "shipbuilding precious trees."

To build houses or furniture, few people are willing to take huge risks to fight monsters and collect wood. In terms of utility, entrusting the Sky Knight to do these things is a complete loss-making business.

Apart from a few wealthy people who actually use these precious woods to make luxurious furniture for themselves, only those who are willing to fly into the blue sky are willing to build a solid home for themselves.

For Leon, the ship belonging to the Star Flower Brigade is a new starting point and a new fulcrum.

The expectant expressions on the girls' faces told him that this ship meant even more to them.

That is home, a brand new, completely safe residence. You don’t have to worry about outsiders. Whether it is tidy or messy, it is a space where you can live freely according to your own mood.

Originally, Li Ang wanted to urge them to hurry up, but after walking for a while, he had to jog to catch up with them.

As he spoke of the preciousness of the precious wood, Zoe couldn't wait to ask, "Do we need to select these trees? Can we just cut them down?"

"As long as there are no obvious insect bites or large scars, it can be used."

The trees on the outer layer would take ten people to hug, while the trees inside were as majestic as tall towers, with a pillar in the middle reaching into the clouds.

Li Ang pointed to the outer area and said, "We only take the trees outside. One reason is that the big trees inside are still infested with monsters, making it difficult to cut them down. Another reason is that they have been growing for a long time, and monsters will gnaw and build nests inside, making them less useful than the new trees outside. Cutting down old trees is purely for vanity."

"As for the variety, as I just mentioned, the trees on this island seem to possess a mysterious power. They all seem to be one, and are very suitable for shipbuilding. It's precisely because of this that they are so well-known."

Zoe stared at the thickest tree in the middle. "Can't we cut that down? Can Leon do it?"

"…Why would you want to do that?"

"Since the wood is so good, wouldn't it be better to just use the whole tree to build the boat?"

"You think you're building a canoe? That's like a savage's thinking," Dorothy said.

"Some people have thought that before, but it's completely meaningless because airships require more than just wood."

Zoe had been ignoring Dorothy, but when she heard Leon also say that her idea was wrong, she glared at her.

Li Ang sighed, gently pinched her head, turned her back to the front, and explained to her:

"After these timbers are transported to the Rudder City, the shipyard will cut them into suitable planks and then splice them together to form the entire ship. The splicing between them will actually stabilize the ship's structure and increase its strength. The reason for using large trees is simply to make the keel and some planks as long as possible, as long as they meet the requirements.

"This is still a traditional approach to shipbuilding. For our Sky Knights' airships, we chose the precious wood of Mengze Island because it has a coherent life force within it. In a short period of time, the entire ship will be like a living tree. Small impact cracks will be repaired immediately, and larger ones will grow and repair over time.

"Just relying on the strength of these precious woods, as you just saw, a level 6 monster is enough to destroy it. Our ship needs to fight against enemies of the Excellence Realm, and even level 10 monsters in the future. We will need other rare materials to create armor and magic shields for it.

"The good thing about the Treasure Wood is that it doesn't conflict with any high-level materials or magic. Its scalability and compatibility are top-notch. Treasure Wood in the outer areas may occasionally be incompatible, but this is completely fine here in the Heart Lake of the Island."

There are shipbuilding materials that are more protective than the Mengze Island treasure wood, but they are far inferior in terms of future expansion.

This is what Li Ang said repeatedly, the wood here is just the base.

"So, we have to fight powerful monsters and decorate our ship in various ways?"

After hearing this, Zoe no longer worried about cutting down the big tree inside, but was very much looking forward to this kind of future.

Dream "Great! Let's chop down the tree!"

She stepped on the rough tree roots with her scaly boots and ran forward quickly.
