Li Pu was now full of confidence.
However, the primary objective was still to escape.
Yet, after pondering and experinting for a long ti, the two discovered that the mountain wall moved by the Dragon Lady Tree was sealed just like the others, completely protected by a barrier.
For a mont, they found themselves completely trapped.
The situation continued like this for about two hours.
Rumble...
When the rocks at the valley entrance contracted to both sides, the Dragon Lady Tree appeared once more.
[Dragon Lady Roar...]
The mont it erged, the Dragon Lady Tree let out a low growl and assud an attacking posture.
"Why does it feel like sothing’s off with it?"
Li Pu noticed that the Dragon Lady Tree, which had been beaten to a pulp by them previously, was sohow completely restored.
It seed that while they were resting, so was this creature.
The speed of its recovery was astonishingly fast.
To know that the straw n could only heal quickly because they were beaten by them.
"It’s not just a feeling, sothing is really wrong!"
Out of caution, Long Ren assessed the beast once more.
The result revealed a terrifying situation.
[S-rank, 2nd transformation, LV55→56]
The Dragon Lady Tree had actually leveled up!
It had already surpassed the second transformation limit, yet it leveled up again?!
"No worries, watch take it down this ti."
Knowing this, Li Pu stated it was not a problem.
A re 1 level increase was nothing to be concerned about.
So, without waiting for the Dragon Lady Tree to strike, he commanded Bubu to make the first move.
[Chomp chomp~]
With Bubu’s call, a ball of light was thrown towards the Dragon Lady Tree.
Pop~
As the light ball broke, it transford into a small blue light kangaroo.
The little kangaroo first lay on its belly, wagging its tail at the Dragon Lady Tree, then stood up and waved its short little arms.
But since its arms were too short to raise above its head, it could only stretch them out and wave, looking both adorable and odd.
After a few shakes, it began to hop in place in a circle.
"What... skill is that?"
Watching the little kangaroo’s antics from afar, Long Ren was bewildered.
"..."
Li Pu was left speechless.
Because he just discovered that the Dragon Lady Tree seed immune to ntal attacks!
[Dragon Lady?]
With a confused sound from the Dragon Lady Tree, Bubu’s hopping light figure was knocked into pieces by it.
Swish!
Swish!
Both the Dragon Lady Tree and Long Ren suddenly appeared together.
"Hurry up and deal with it! It’s after again!"
Long Ren shouted urgently.
"Looks like we have no choice but to continue the old strategy."
Li Pu reluctantly shook his head and led his summoned beasts into action.
[Grass!]
[Chomp chomp~]
[Dragon in the Dragon!]
[Pinch ha ha ha ha ha!]
The outco was still the sa.
A re 1-level increase couldn’t reverse the disadvantage for the Dragon Lady Tree.
It ended up being battered severely again.
Having learned their lesson, Long Ren saw the ti was right and kept his distance.
[Dragon Lady!!!]
Sure enough, it wasn’t long before the Dragon Lady Tree launched that ntal attack again.
Even though they were ntally prepared, everyone still got hit.
Li Pu gritted his teeth and pulled back, while the other summoned beasts perford slightly better than before.
The straw man activated the Vine Turtle form, Bubu activated the golden protective barrier, and the half-dragon humanoid initiated its Fla Armor Rune Device.
The Dragon Lady Tree glanced at Long Ren who stood too far, and could only choose the Fire Scorpion for its final attack before fleeing.
[NONO Pinch!]
The poor Fire Scorpion was firmly struck twice and fell again.
Rumble...
With the retreat of the Dragon Lady Tree, the valley entrance closed once more.
"Damn it, my Fire Pincher has died four or five tis in this dungeon!"
Long Ren cursed as he walked over.
If this continued, he’d run out of resurrection charms.
"It seems hopeless, let’s observe a bit more."
Li Pu glanced around.
This ti, the Dragon Lady’s drop of branches and leaves was less than last ti, which they divided equally.
Although they harvested so A or even S-rank materials, the entire ongoing process made them both very uncomfortable.
Because after another 2 hours, the Dragon Lady Tree appeared again.
Crucially, it had leveled up once more to LV57.
Even at LV57, the Dragon Lady Tree couldn’t withstand the mob attack.
However, Li Pu could already feel that the opponent’s strength had increased.
Before the Dragon Lady Tree departed, it took down the Fire Scorpion once more.
In this repeated cycle, the Dragon Lady Tree spent nearly half a day, leveling from the initial LV55 to LV61.
The repeated battles also made the Dragon Lady Tree aware of a weakness in the enemy ranks.
That was the slow-moving Fire Scorpion without much defense.
As a result, in the later encounters, its entire focus was on the Fire Scorpion.
If it couldn’t hit the bastard who stole its reverse scale, then hitting the weakest for relief was good enough.
This led the Fire Scorpion to frequent deaths.
"This ti, the situation is really dire."
When the Dragon Lady Tree left and sealed the entrance again, Long Ren’s expression beca grave.
His resurrection charms were long exhausted, now he had started using Li Pu’s.
Each ti the Dragon Lady Tree appeared, it killed the Fire Scorpion.
If this continued for another couple of rounds, they’d have no resurrection charms left.
The Fire Scorpion’s [Scorpion Silk Technique] was a powerful restricting skill, crucial for them to gang up on the Dragon Lady Tree.
Without it, the battle could beco unfavorable.
"We have no choice but to take a gamble."
Li Pu stood there with arms crossed, looking determined.
"How exactly are we going to gamble?"
Long Ren questioned, not knowing what more they could do.
However, the next second, he saw Li Pu retrieve a golden sapling with a Dragon-Expelling Fruit from storage space.
"This thing doesn’t seem very useful..."
Truthfully, Long Ren had thought of using the Dragon-Expelling Fruit against the Dragon Lady Tree.
But how exactly to use it?
It seed like, at most, it would only cause related dragon-type beasts to dislike or resist it, as seen from the half-dragon humanoid’s reaction.
Could it be shoved into the Dragon Lady Tree’s mouth?
It’s not like anyone would willingly swallow it.
Yet, Li Pu’s idea wasn’t as simple as using the Dragon-Expelling Fruit directly against the Dragon Lady Tree.
So, next, he took out a fist-sized capsule.
"Is this..."
Seeing the capsule, Long Ren was slightly stunned.
He had seen sothing like this at the market outside the arena; it seed to be so sort of solution compression capsule.
"Have you heard of the [S-180 Type Plant-Specific Solution]?"
Li Pu explained as he signaled the straw man to co over.
Yes, he had decided to go all in.
He intended to have the straw man undergo a transformation using the Dragon-Expelling Fruit.
This item was bought after he declined Long Ren’s PK invitation and was roaming the market.
According to the vendor, this [S-180 Type Plant-Specific Solution] was the highest upgrade of the [A-183 Type Plant-Specific Solution].
Just one capsule could achieve the transformation effect needed by the [A-183 Type Plant-Specific Solution].
Moreover, it significantly reduced the ti required for the transformation.
"This... is just absurd!"
Originally, Long Ren didn’t understand Li Pu’s intentions.
But when he saw the 1st transformation array being laid out on the ground, he realized.
This guy was planning to have the straw man undergo transformation on the spot! What a lunatic!
"Co on, swallow this."
Positioning the straw man on the transformation array, Li Pu handed over the capsule.
[Grass!]
Straw Man: Summoner, you won’t fool this ti! Just crush it!
The straw man had a good mory for grudges, recalling past pranks by Li Pu.
"This ti, it’s serious, now open up."
But Li Pu’s expression was genuinely earnest.
[Grass ah ah ah ah ah ah...]
Straw Man: Okay ah ah ah ah ah...
Seeing the summoner so serious, the straw man chose to comply.
"Keep it open, don’t close until I say so."
Then Li Pu tossed the capsule into the straw man’s mouth.
