Chapter 971: Chapter 627: The Li Catastrophe

"What are you standing there for, junior! Run!"

Gao Xiang was about to reach Li Pu, seeing him still standing there, he couldn’t help but anxiously remind him again.

I’ve got to say, this person is really a good pal.

Clearly a competitor, yet still willing to give a reminder.

Li Pu accepted the goodwill and discreetly sent out a telepathy.

[Eat eat eat~]

As they were about to arrive, Caocao threw out a few light orbs.

"You!"

Seeing this scene, Gao Xiang’s teammate turned pale on the spot.

The captain’s good intentions were really taken for donkey’s liver and lungs.

Clearly warned the other side, but they still want to eliminate them at this moment!

But alas, the male chicken’s speed was too fast to even change direction to evade.

Luckily... this little kangaroo still lacks precision?

"Uh."

Gao Xiang watched the light orb pass by, his expression dumbfounded.

[Eat eat eat!]

But Caocao seemed a bit annoyed, throwing another wave of light orbs.

Pop~

This time one light orb barely hit the male chicken.

The explosion attack Gao Xiang had imagined didn’t happen, instead, the light orb directly merged into the chicken’s body.

[Cluck cluck?]

The rooster tilted its head confusedly.

"Is it some kind of poison or curse attack?"

His teammate was puzzled too.

But the next second, the two suddenly felt their position drop sharply.

The chicken, after the light orb entered, actually tripped and fell.

"Ah Xiong! What are you doing?!"

Gao Xiang was frightened right away.

If they lost the chicken’s speed, they would certainly be eliminated by that flesh-eating white mist!

However, unexpectedly, the chicken fell, yet the two were surprised to find the progress hadn’t stopped.

A peculiar bumping sensation was transmitted from the chicken’s back.

As if... it was squirming!

"Ah?!" x2

Looking down, the guy was really crawling like a worm on the ground.

A chicken crawling like a bug—does that make sense!

I’ve certainly never taught it such behavior!

The key is... it’s even faster than before!

"What’s going on here?!"

Gao Xiang’s voice bounced with the jolts, moving faster and farther.

"What a pity."

Watching them leave, Li Pu saw a heap of green gemstone feathers.

If it were a beast, it might have relevant materials.

"We should go too."

Seeing the white mist approaching, Li Pu prepared to activate [Sprint].

The disaster was already less than a hundred meters away, but its speed suddenly slowed, for unknown reasons.

[Grass!]

Just as he was about to move, Li Pu suddenly heard a cry from the scarecrow.

Turning his head, he found its chest pierced by a tentacle extending from the white mist.

"Could it be that fresh plants attract white mist more?"

Li Pu had a reasonable guess.

[Caocao~]

Then the scarecrow did not get swallowed like the previous red bird; instead, it slapped the mist away.

However, it turned entirely yellow, like it was autumn.

The scattered wisps of white mist slightly touched Li Pu’s arm, immediately causing him pain.

"Hiss!"

Indeed, this thing has corrosive properties.

"But..."

He looked at the lively scarecrow and decided to conduct a small experiment while the mist slowed.

Withdrew Caocao, Fufu, and Ah Hui, leaving the Ugly Wolf and number 2 outside.

[Summoner, are you sending me to my doom!]

Hearing Li Pu’s instruction to touch the mist, number 2 was very resistant.

"What are you afraid of? You can resurrect on the spot anyway."

Li Pu grinned like a capitalist.

[Oh, I really can’t agree more]

Number 2 grumbled but still obediently charged in.

After circling inside the mist, its figure reappeared.

[Curse of the heavens!]

Number 2 found it was completely unharmed.

"Indeed."

Li Pu guessed the mist might only affect plants and animals, not consuming beings like number 2 with a steel body.

He then had the Ugly Wolf try and got a surprising result.

Ugly Wolf not only wasn’t consumed but also transformed into a White Wolf after emerging.

"Uh, just don’t get too close to me."

Li Pu feared it might shake and splash the white mist on him.

"However, perhaps this is a good hiding spot."

Rubbing his chin, he looked at the mist.

Calling number 2 back, it merged into his body as light.

He extended a mechanical finger to probe the mist, confirming no damage.

The thick mecha shielded him perfectly from the mist’s consumption effect.

[Very good]

With a metallic snap of his fingers, he led the scarecrow and Ugly Wolf inside.

[Ah]

After a few steps, he bumped into a tree.

The mist was so dense that it greatly impaired Li Pu’s vision.

[Night Vision] and number 2’s electronic retinal didn’t work here.

But the scarecrow used plant affinity sensing, dodging the trees.

The Ugly Wolf relied on the wind direction brought by the mist’s flow.

Surprisingly, these two were less affected.

Fortunately, Li Pu still had [True Vision].

Once activated, the view turned into a world of small grids resembling a mosaic, but the grids were smaller and clearer.

With [True Vision], he no longer worried about missing his path.
