Chapter 2417 Violent Weeding
"Advanced Internal Vision" failed to detect the details that Joan wanted. To be on the safe side, he decided to clean up all the "man-eating grass" growing near the mill.
Even without the corrosive attack of the pollen cloud, the fighting power of the man-eating grass is not inferior to that of the treants, and there are so many of them that it is not so easy to deal with.
Joan was eager to meet Audrey and Hyrule, impatient to pull the weeds by himself, so he summoned the mythical crystal steel golem "Nightingale" from the dimension hole, and asked her to try to get rid of the man-eating plants blocking the way.
"Little mage, it's rare for you to let me out to get some air, so let me take care of the rest!"
Nightingale patted her chest and said confidently.
"The pollen emitted by the man-eating grass has strong acid properties. You'd better be careful. If the armor is corroded, it will be troublesome to repair."
Although "Crystal Steel" has the word "steel", it is actually a compound of blue ice and quartz, which is more resistant to acid corrosion than most metal products, but Joan feels it is necessary to remind the overconfident Nightingale.
"Hehe~ Long-winded little mage, I don't need you to remind me that those ugly plants are spewing acid mist. Of course, this lady will take good care of her beautiful and flawless icy skin!"
"Ah? You talkative, what right do you have to call me long-winded?" Qiao An was so angry, "You are not only talkative, but also narcissistic!"
"Hey, if you want to quarrel with me on purpose, then I'll be excited!" Nightingale was gearing up, fighting with high spirits.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you!"
Qiao An knew that she couldn't spray her, so she avoided it from a distance.
Nightingale triumphantly announced that she had won, turned around to look at the overgrown man-eating grass on the hillside, stroked her chin, and let out a series of treacherous laughter.
"Hehehe~ Little mage, I thought of a good way to pull weeds efficiently, just wait and see the good show!"
Under Joan's curious gaze, Nightingale drew a "power of myth" and focused on casting spells.
In the originally peaceful woods, the airflow was accelerated by the power of mythology, whirling and whistling.
Just three seconds later, a whirlwind like a giant dragon was set off on the flat ground, and the violent air flow sucked the vegetation, sand and stone into the tornado column, and it was gray and chaotic, as if the end was approaching.
Nightingale remained focused on casting spells, and remotely controlled the "Mythical Whirlwind" to move towards the area where the man-eating grasses grow densely, uprooting them together with the nearby ordinary trees, sucking in the wind column, and continuing to strangle them until they reached the top of the wind column. It was torn to pieces and sprayed out through the edge of the funnel-shaped wind column, and the broken branches, leaves and sawdust flew all over the sky, falling like rain.
Man-eating grass has 3 points of intelligence at least, knowing that it is powerless to fight against this natural disaster-like mythical storm, so it hastily pulled out its roots from the soil, trying to escape from the area where the tornado was raging.
The kinked lower limbs are not suitable for running, and the man-eating grass wriggled its roots desperately, but could not escape the pursuit of the mythical tornado. They were forcibly sucked into the wind column one by one, and were strangled.
A few of the smarter man-eating plants simply restrained their roots, curled up into a ball, and rolled directly down the bare slope cleared by the storm, escaping much faster than the roots crawling.
"Hehe~ Xiaocao, you can't escape."
Nightingale sneered and picked up the super-large magic crystal rapid-fire cannon, locked on the man-eating grass rolling down the hillside and pulled the trigger.
Bright rays of light spewed out from the muzzle, and the short and dense roar overwhelmed the roar of the storm.
The tumbling piranha burst when hit by the large enchanted shell, its juice splashed, and the broken branches were embedded in the crater.
On the hillside, the closed mill gate creaked, and half of it was opened. Two pretty faces poked out from the gate one after another. Attracted by the storm and the movement of the guns, they looked out vigilantly and curiously.
Joan saw the pair of ponytails and blond hair blowing in the wind at the door from afar, and immediately recognized Hailaer and Audrey, transformed into a bee man form, and slapped himself with "freedom of movement", soaring in the storm without being affected. Disturbingly flew straight up the hillside.
"Joan!"
"Your boy is here!"
Seeing the familiar figure flying in the wind, Audrey and Hyrule excitedly pushed open the gate of the mill, waved and cheered to him.
Dolly the parrot stood on Hailar's shoulder, staring at the fiery red golem behind Joan, looking up and down, still muttering: "Strange! Strange! How strange!"
The silly bird was only interested in watching the excitement, and didn't notice the storm passing by, and the strong air current sucked her in.
Dolly rolled in the air involuntarily, and flew towards the tornado column in a whirl. She flapped her wings desperately but couldn't get rid of the whirlwind traction, and she screamed in fright.
"Help! Help!"
Joan turned on the "Ghost Armament" that came with the "Styx Robe", reached out to fish it in time, grabbed the parrot by its tail, pulled her back from the storm, and landed in front of the mill.
"It's dangerous! It's dangerous!"
Dolly saved her life, got into the hood of Joan's cloak in fright, wrapped herself tightly, only her head was exposed, trembling.
"Audrey, Hyrule, are you alright?"
Joan looked at the two girls and saw that their faces were haggard, and Hailaer still had blood on her body, so she couldn't help feeling a little worried.
"A few minor injuries have already been healed by Audrey's spells. With her by my side, at least I won't be like those two unlucky bastards, and I won't turn green all over." Hailaer pretended to be relaxed and smiled.
"It's fine. The two unlucky guys you're talking about are Mr. Holden and Pinkerton who were captured by the giants?"
"It's not them... The situation of the little rascal and the detective uncle is probably worse than those two." Hailaer smiled bitterly, turned and pointed into the room, "Come in and take a look and you will know."
Joan nodded, and first sent a telepathy to Nightingale to let her continue to kill the man-eating plants, and then stood guard outside the mill gate.
Most of the space in the mill is occupied by a huge wind-powered stone mill. The windmill is entangled in vines, and the mill has stopped working.
A brass candlestick was placed on the millstone. Hailar stepped forward to caress the candlestick and blessed the "Light Art". The candlestick immediately emitted a faint cold light, dispelling the surrounding darkness.
Joan followed Audrey into the mill, and saw two shrubs growing in the corner directly opposite the door at first glance. After a little observation, he found that the branches of the shrubs resembled human limbs, and the upper part of the trunk vaguely showed the features of a human face.
Walking to the two bushes and taking a closer look, Joan couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
"This is... Angel and Ryan?"
"That's right, they are these two poor classmates." Hailar held the candlestick, showing fear, "Fortunately, Audrey is with me, and she can cast spells to help me heal the attribute damage caused by the curse at any time. Like Angor and Ryan, unable to resist the erosion of the curse, they have degenerated into an unconscious plant."
