Chapter 438 The Crazy Scarecrow (IV)

"I don't want to hear your meaningless excuses, Freeman, I want to know what you did to quell this riot!" Thomas' face was gloomy.

"Master! I have gathered all the people that can be summoned nearby. There are a total of more than 200 strong and strong farmers. Each of them will distribute a pitchfork. Four people will patrol the farmland in groups. If they find the crazy scarecrow, they will join hands Its uniform, bound with rope, is at your disposal."

After listening to Freeman's calm answer, Thomas' face softened, and he patted the farm manager on the shoulder.

"You are very capable, Mr. Freeman, but those crazy scarecrows may be more dangerous than you expected. Not only can they wield sickles, but they may also cast spells. It's just that the group of farmers under you may not be able to handle it."

Thomas turned to look at his companions behind him, and said with a wry smile, "It seems that our lunch has to be postponed for a while. Before everyone eats, can you help me calm down the group of crazy scarecrows?"

"Ha! I knew it would be like this!" Edward sneered, and raised his hand to bless himself with "Mage Armor", ready for battle.

Joan, Rebecca, Martin, Miaomiao, Azhi and Mr. Benny all accepted Thomas' request and prepared to deal with the crazy activated scarecrow.

Joan looked at the vast cornfield.

The battlefield experience accumulated on the front line made him immediately realize that it is easy to get lost in such an environment. The most important thing is not how to knock down the activated scarecrow, but to find the enemies lurking in the dark in the primeval jungle-like fields.

Thinking of this, he made a plan, took out a feather from the spell-casting material bag, cast the 2-ring "transformation technique", turned into a Jotunheim eagle and flew into the air, providing aerial reconnaissance for his companions.

Edward, Thomas, and Martin also mastered the "transformation technique", but none of them prepared this spell in advance, so they could only raise their heads and cast envious glances at Joan, who was flying high.

Looking down from a high altitude, the 10,000-acre cornfield spread out flatly in front of Joan's eyes, like a vast golden ocean.

When the wind blows, the corn stalks sway along with it, and people can be seen faintly in the golden waves. There are four farmers in groups holding steel forks to hunt down crazy scarecrows, and there is also a lonely figure that flashes past.

With a pair of sharp eagle eyes, Joan saw the cold light refracted from the sickle in the hand of a lone traveler in the farmland, and immediately took out a piece of copper wire, cast a 0-ring "message", and notified the nearby hunting team to come and capture the activated animal. scarecrow.

After sending the message, Joan was still a little worried, and lowered his flight altitude to watch the farmers fight the activated scarecrow.

Fortunately, the "spring" embedded in this scarecrow's body is only one ring of "Magic Tooth Art". Although the right-hand sickle and the left-hand claw are both sharp, but the attack distance of the two weapons is far less than the six-foot handle in the farmer's hand The strength of the steel fork is only at the level of ordinary adults. Two farmers holding steel forks surrounded him from left to right, and forcibly pressed them to the ground with their arms crossed.

Two other farmers from the same hunting group poked the steel fork on the ground, freed their hands to take out the rope, and went to tie the hands and feet of the activated scarecrow tightly, like a pig waiting to be slaughtered, lying on the ground unable to move.

Joan folded his wings and landed. The farmer was so frightened that he quickly picked up the steel fork and put his face on guard.

It wasn't until he revealed his identity that he heaved a sigh of relief, put down the steel fork and bowed to his young master's classmate and friend.

Joan waved his hand to signal that they were welcome, and went straight to the tied up activated scarecrow, stretched out his hand and drew a spell on its chest, opened the chest cavity, and took out the barrel.

Joan opened the opening box and took out the "spring" that was maliciously embedded. Afterwards, he put the box back into the activated scarecrow's chest cavity, and chanted a spell, and the crack in the chest was automatically healed.

"Now you can untie the rope." Joan turned to tell the farmer.

"Uh...Master Vader, this might be dangerous."

"Don't worry, the mainspring in its body has been dismantled by me, and it has escaped the control of the mastermind behind the scenes."

The farmer didn't quite understand Joan's explanation, so he hesitated for a while, and finally he had the courage to approach the activated scarecrow and untie the ropes that bound his hands and feet.

The activated scarecrow regained his freedom, stood up awkwardly, bent down to pick up his sickle, hung it on his belt, and then stood there motionless.

"The King's daughter is ready to marry," said Joanne to the Scarecrow.

The scarecrow seemed to have suddenly regained its vitality. There was a sound of gears churning in the body, and the blue light was shining again in its eyes. It bowed slightly to Joan, and made a gesture of waiting for orders.

"It's none of your business here, go back and harvest the corn." Joan said to it.

The activated scarecrow nodded, turned around and walked to a ridge of corn, first freed his hands to break off the mature corn cobs, put them in a pocket, then took off the sickle on his waist, cut off the corn stalks at the root, and stacked them neatly on the ridge side.

After confirming that the activated scarecrow had returned to normal, Joan waved to the four stunned farmers, then flew into the air with wings and flew to the distance to inspect the farmland.

The four farmers looked up at the sky at the same time, watching Qiao An's figure go away, their eyes were full of reverence.

For these short-sighted country people, a mage like Joan who can fly into the sky and escape from the ground is almost comparable to a god in their eyes.

Joan hovered in the air for two minutes, and soon found another target.

When he flew over to see, the activated scarecrow was surrounded by four farmers who arrived in time.

The farmers still adopted the "standard tactics" taught by Mr. Freeman. Two of them outflanked and approached the scarecrow, while the other two stood guard with forks, ready to support their companions at any time.

This tactic is very effective against the "Magic Claw Scarecrow" just now, but the activated scarecrow that Joan saw at the moment is a bit special. He didn't struggle, but just widened his eyes, and the two glass balls embedded in the eye sockets suddenly emitted a strange blue light, covering the four farmers in front of them.

The four of them made eye contact with the scarecrow, felt drowsy suddenly, and yawned one after another. Their fragile wills could not resist the erosion of hypnotic magic, and they lay down and snored one after another, throwing the steel forks in their hands on the ground at will.

The activated scarecrow got rid of the control of the steel fork and regained freedom. He picked up the sickle expressionlessly and approached the four sleeping farmers on the opposite side with stiff steps. The sickle held high in his hand shone coldly in the sun.

Just as the scythe was about to fall, a translucent magic hand suddenly flew in the air, and with a "bang", it knocked the scarecrow into the air.
