Chapter 216 Counterattack
Listening to the wind rushing past her ears and feeling the force of the impact, Gu Qing increased the force in her arms and legs.
A soft laugh came from above, "Don't worry, I won't let you fall." Immediately afterwards, a huge bubble enveloped the two of them.
It took Gu Qing a while to recover from the feeling of weightlessness and rapid fall. She quietly looked up at her surroundings from Lou Xiaoyu's arms.
The bubble shimmered with iridescent light under the sunlight. Gu Qing quietly reached out a hand and poked the seemingly fragile bubble with her finger.
Surprisingly, the bubble has a certain elasticity, but you can tell from the feel that it is quite sturdy.
"With my level and your abilities, it's impossible for you to break through."
Ignoring Lou Xiaoyu's teasing, Gu Qing only heard that she couldn't break it with her own abilities, so she quickly let go of Lou Xiaoyu.
But since the bubbles were bouncy, she was still a little worried. She gripped Lou Xiaoyu's combat uniform tightly with one hand and then slowly squatted down.
She stomped her feet back and forth forcefully, and finally sat cross-legged at the bottom of the bubble. Here you can see that the mermaid has cut the branch again.
Following the break, it looked down at the dense jungle below. The willow tree, having failed in its first attack, went berserk and began attacking indiscriminately.
The host of the bamboo scroll retaliated, but the willow tree had thick bark and flesh, and attacks from low-level people had no effect on it at all.
The battle seemed to be at a stalemate, but in reality, they were the ones who suffered losses. Gu Qing thought that the bamboo slip would give up, so she kept entangled with it and flew over in the air.
Unexpectedly, the bamboo slips seemed to be enraged, causing those of lower rank to manifest spiritual forms, trying to harass the opponent's attacks while protecting themselves.
Meanwhile, those with higher talent levels attacked head-on, and the battle became intense. Gu Qing found it strange that he didn't see the bamboo slip make a move.
Even his spiritual form, the pangolin, is nowhere to be seen. It's just that we're not too close, so we can't see anything else clearly.
But seeing the fighters fall to the ground injured one by one, only to get up again and continue fighting, Gu Qing was still somewhat anxious.
Lou Xiaoyu looked at the people who were clutching her trouser leg and watching the battle below, and helplessly squatted down as well.
"No need to rush. The bamboo slips are of high grade and have rich combat experience. They have experienced this kind of battle countless times. I believe that victory will be achieved in no time."
Gu Qing turned and glanced at him. "Your people are all injured. Aren't you worried?"
Lou Xiaoyu gave her a disdainful look, "Those old foxes were always behind us. Those little injuries are just superficial wounds at best."
Gu Qing frowned upon hearing his words. They were all in the same boat, and Gu Qing felt uncomfortable about what they were doing.
Lou Xiaoyu couldn't help but rub her head, "Let your little head go! Zhu Jian and those people are probably plotting something in secret."
"Didn't you see that even though they weren't moving, they were all sweating profusely? That shows they've expended a lot of energy."
"How can I see clearly from so far away?"
Lou Xiaoyu manipulated the bubble to float back to its original position, and the falcon flew to the bottom of the bubble to carry it.
Lou Xiaoyu didn't refuse, saying it was good to have another person to protect her.
The situation below can only be described as dire. Although many low-level willow trees have been cleared away, the tense situation from before has now turned completely one-sided.
After all, that high-level tree was unstoppable, capable of killing gods and Buddhas alike. It was just that the bamboo slips had been constantly harassed by people, which is why the other willow trees were cleared out so quickly.
Fortunately, although the willow tree had gained intelligence, it wasn't very intelligent. It seemed to only realize what was happening when there were no more low-level willow trees around.
He then flew into a rage, and the willow leaves on his body detached from the branches like sharp blades, shooting towards the crowd like darts.
Earthen walls, water curtains, and golden shields blocked the way for these people, yet many were still injured. Just as it stretched out its roots, intending to attack from both sides...
As soon as its roots broke through the soil, it suddenly shrank. It turned out that its base had been hollowed out at some point, and the huge pit was filled with water.
In an instant, the willow tree lost all its strength and panicked.
"Make your move." With that command, the supernatural beings each displayed their unique abilities.
Even the members of the Lou family sent out their spiritual forms to launch a frenzied attack on the exposed roots and branches.
