"It’s my turn, draw a card!"
"Still my turn, continue drawing cards!"
"Watch my divine draw!"
While joking around, Lu Ping’an quickly drew cards and swapped them, causing giants to rise from the ground one after another.
This [Liuzi Stele’s Four-color Set Tickets (Upper Silver Ranked Enchanted Item)] is an Upper Silver Ranked enchanted item, which means its power is at the edge of the Rule-level, making it a top-notch Silver Curse... This must be attributed to the gift and grudge of Liu Zibei, who was close to reaching the Rule-level.
Though it’s an Upper Silver cursed item, it doesn’t mean the tree-people it summons are of the same rank... The strongest tree-person that Lu Ping’an could summon at the moment would have a combat power of around the fourth-fifth tier.
It’s a cursed item that turns "big trees into tree-people". The strength of the tree directly determines its upper and lower limits.
Previously, Lu Ping’an used the relics of Liu Zibei, those fourth-tier lightweight wood that were used to pave the arena, which, besides growing fast, had no other advantages.
At that time, the combat power of the tree-people was only around the fourth-tier, with no other abnormal abilities besides their immense strength. In top-tier battlefields, they were not very useful.
This time, after several modifications and grafting, tree-people wrapped in thorns stepped onto the battlefield one by one.
They were the Thorny Treants and Willow Treants, the former having grafted with spiky plant modules, causing the treants to grow bizarre black spikes all over their bodies, making them a melee nightmare.
The other one was named "Heavy-boxing Willow" by Lu Ping’an... and behind this malicious name was the fact that this multi-armed tree-person possessed extremely powerful offensive capabilities.
Lu Ping’an had harvested countless magic plant modules in the Silent Mountain Range, greatly enriching his arsenal.
Among the many products specially prepared for "tree-man transformation", these two tree-people, one offensive and the other defensive, had the strongest real-world combat capabilities...
A Thorny Treant was violently knocked back, a large chunk of its skin split open, and Stone-dragon Yi bit down on it, causing a large amount of green juice to spray out.
"Ahhhh!" However, the one that screamed was the attacking monster itself.
Countless thorns were embedded in the dragon-beast’s mouth, the sensation of biting a cactus was definitely unbearable.
The two Thorny Treants became shields, reaching the giant’s feet, but still, their colossal bodies were enough to protect the small people behind them.
They either embraced or entangled, forcibly restricting the monster’s range of motion. This forced the monster’s limit to be much more effective than a single mannequin meat shield.
At the same time, two other multi-armed Willow Treants vigorously swung their fists.
Their natural flexibility gave their heavy boxing frightening impact, each hit causing the monster to scream in pain.
When granted a sixth-tier Tree-person-specific BUFF through a "yellow card frenzy", these two powerful Tree-people could genuinely compete with fifth-sixth tier melee professionals in arm-wrestling for several minutes.
The giants were wrestling while various ranged attacks and curses were ruthlessly inflicted on both sides... At this moment, friendly fire was inevitable, but most people’s accuracy was still on point.
How to limit the performance of a War Beast? Just catch it with an equal or larger number of giants.
This was a part of Lu Ping’an’s plan. With his current tree-man army, it would be no big deal to confront the Mother of the Stone-dragon in her heyday.
But now, when the Mother of the Stone-dragon was already down to her last breath, it was a different story.
𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Another two tree-people joined the battlefield while, at the same time, the magic plants that gave birth to them were destined for demise.
In the eyes of outsiders, it seemed that Lu Ping’an had completely abandoned all concerns about the cost.
But at this moment, the Mother of the Stone-dragon, who was being battered by six frenzied tree-people, was becoming more and more miserable.
A large amount of blood dripped continuously, and the screams never stopped, but the most painful part was always her stomach... the intense poison made her whole body ache and uncomfortable, and she was already nearing her end.
"Woo woo...."
Finally, the lizard had sensed pain and let out a mournful cry of agony like a wild beast.
It was now cowering and retreating.
It wanted to escape.
But at that moment, a silver-armored knight appeared behind it, blocking its retreat.
He wielded a silver lance, with a fierce storm gathering around it, while the blazing flames radiating from him forced the mortals around to step back involuntarily.
In this moment, framed by the fierce flames and wild winds, the 3.4-meter-tall silver knight appeared like a war god.
The vile beast beneath him lunged towards the cowering lizard without hesitation, accompanied by the knight’s silver lance carrying the aura of death.
This pitiful scream echoed through the sky.
The flesh pierced by the silver weapon was directly struck through, and for the first time, the defenses of this wicked creature were utterly broken by a mortal.
And this time was destined to be its last.
The eerie flames accompanied the wounds flowing into the beast’s body. The knight of the blazing flames became the primary force of the human flesh wall, and under his command, the other tree-men also burst into flames... At least in the final moments, these malicious and vicious flames blocked the stone dragon’s last escape route.
"..." The knight raised his lance, saying nothing.
He just coldly and directly completed his own work, occasionally helping others forge new shackles and blood nails, nailing this vile beast in place.
From time to time, he would command his creature to charge, using his seemingly small body to collide with the dying giant beast time after time.
The young knight didn’t win, but from the continuous screams of the stone dragon, he wasn’t losing either.
The Mother of Stone-dragon was at her end, and with only a breath left in her, she could no longer ignore the storm lance carrying a strong death-curse and toxins.
With each strike, curses and toxins took effect simultaneously while flesh flew in all directions.
In the end, the wicked creature was cornered, and just before death, she seemed to regain her sanity.
"I curse... you all! Die... die together!" The next moment, she plunged into madness.
The desperate lizard stood up like a western evil dragon, raising its head and taking a deep breath.
Then, countless petrifying rays shot out from its mad, twin pupils, while the stench of its petrifying breath completely enveloped the land.
But there was no way humans could just stand by and watch her use her ultimate move before dying.
At the same time, the silver lance, accompanied by the silver knight’s final charge, pierced her heart... Yet, the petrifying breath could not be stopped.
By the time the petrifying mist had completely dissipated, the ground was already covered with stone statues.
At this moment, apart from the half-petrified Shi Taohua’s groan, the surroundings had fallen silent... The wicked creature’s dying curse reached an extremely terrifying level of intensity.
But among the stone statues, the silver-armored giant knight who had just dismounted was especially eye-catching.
His mount had turned into a stone statue, while he himself stepped down lightly, seemingly unaffected, and strode directly towards his spoils of war.
"As I said before, the right to choose first belongs to me, Lu Ping’an."
