Chapter 311 The End of the Puppet Grass
Chapter 311 The End of the Puppet Grass
With her magical energy being rapidly depleted, Su Li felt a sharp pain in the energy channels from her lower dantian to her arm.
Lunar eclipse pattern, a new pattern developed in Zurich, is the opposite of solar eclipse.
On a single sword, both the sun and moon are displayed simultaneously, adjusting the primary and secondary elements to push the other into a stronger form.
Su Li can only maintain this form for 24 seconds. If she continues to maintain it, it will cause irreversible damage to her body. She can only recover by returning to the temple and using survival coins for treatment.
Su Li wielded her greatsword, drawing a perfect arc around herself to block attacks from above, right, back, and below.
The sword tip lightly touched the leaf, and the leaf became brittle from the extreme low temperature, cut open by the sword blade, and no longer posed any threat.
With all threats eliminated, Su Li stomped on the ground and charged towards the puppet grass king's body.
The Puppet Grass King used all the leaves and petioles it could to shield itself. The terrifying magical energy and low temperature on the Zuli Sword left it with no choice but to focus on survival.
"Useless!" Su Li smiled slightly, ignoring the layers of leaves and petioles, and directly stabbed the 2-meter-long greatsword into the puppet grass king.
When the sword tip collided with the leaf, the leaf became brittle from the cold. Then, the sword tip pierced into the leaf without any resistance. The leaf stalk, which was more than a meter thick, did play a part in the process. Thanks to the tough skin of the silver-level monster, it successfully wore down the layer of cold air and sword energy on the outside of the sword.
However, when the sword touched the leaf hilt, the Puppet Grass King was astonished to find that the sword seemed to have no form at all.
The Moon Eclipse Sword pierced into the body of the Puppet Grass King without any resistance, and then, a burst of cold air erupted.
The consciousness that the Puppet Grass King had only developed after reaching the Silver level was torn to shreds in an instant.
Su Li stepped on the body of the puppet grass king, which was already beginning to be covered in frost, and drew her Moon Eclipse Sword.
The greatsword was drawn, but the puppet grass king only had sword marks left by the sword energy, the length of which was completely inconsistent with the length of the greatsword.
Su Li chuckled lightly, "My lunar eclipse doesn't sever matter, it severs the spirit."
This is the direction Zurich is taking in developing lunar eclipse research.
The Eclipse Sword aims for the ultimate physical attack, using extremely high temperatures to turn all matter into black ash.
However, if the goal is to achieve extreme low temperatures to weaken enemies, the function of the Lunar Eclipse sword would overlap somewhat. Therefore, Su Li focused on developing the Lunar Eclipse sword to damage the mind, consulted Sun Lili, and ultimately developed the Lunar Eclipse sword, a sword for the mental domain. It is capable of severing the mind.
This method is the most effective way to deal with plant-type monsters like the Puppet Grass King. Firstly, it won't damage the materials, and secondly, the Grass King only truly develops a soul at the Silver level, making its soul relatively fragile compared to creatures like Su Li who are born with souls.
Su Li stepped on the soulless body of the Puppet Grass King, dispelling the chill from its wounds and preserving the material. At the same time, she wondered, "Logically, there should still be one leaf that can use spatial attacks."
Su Li jumped off the Grass King's body, walked behind it, and then said with a wry smile, "The energy organ is still there, and there is indeed a fifth leaf. But this leaf was destroyed long ago and a new one hasn't grown yet."
This was beyond Su Li's expectations. "As expected, unexpected things always happen in battle."
On the other side, Sun Lili burst out of the crocodile's body. Amidst white brain matter and black blood, Sun Lili leaped into the air and gave Su Li a cute wink.

"Magical Girl Sun Lili, a perfect farewell!"
Su Li looked helpless. "What kind of magical girl is this? It's too bizarre. If it were broadcast on Blue Star TV, it would be considered a children's cult and parents would complain about it."
"Hehe~ Times have changed. Conspiracy theories and dark, gritty stories are what everyone loves to watch." Sun Lili chuckled and landed next to Su Li.
"Alright, stop joking around. Let's go back and meet up, then get on with the research."
The two of them led Jinying back, but there was no rush, and Jinying didn't want them to ride her anymore.
Once everyone had rejoined, Ivan gave Ember a burnt carrot, which Ember ate with such delight that his lips practically rolled back. He was overjoyed.
Su Li came to Song Mingyu's side and sat down with a thud. "I'm exhausted. I used up so much of my magic energy."
"Brother-in-law, you rest first. Coco and I will go gather materials." Ivan flipped onto Ember Shadow. "Sister Lily, please protect everyone."
"Leave it to me, you guys go ahead." Sun Lili smiled as she watched them leave, then let out a strange 'guhehe' laugh, which was far from the image of a pretty girl.
Su Li got goosebumps listening to this, quickly rubbed her arms, and then asked Song Mingyu, "How is it?"
“After the Puppet Grass King died, the parasitic ability of the seeds did not weaken at all.” Song Mingyu used the transformation ring to transform her top again, changing it from a gray turtleneck sweater to a sweater with a heart on the chest—she really liked sweaters.
Song Mingyu pulled open her clothes from the heart on her chest, revealing her fair and tender skin underneath, with a large patch of green dots on the northern hemisphere.
“That’s the downside of cloth armor; its structural protection is relatively poor. All the points were put into magic resistance. I’ll have Ivan get you some breastplates later. Anyway, with the transmogrification ring, we can ignore the comfort issue to some extent.” Su Li touched the green dot. “It feels so hard; it’s already grown into roots.”
"Yes, it grows extremely fast. This Puppet Grass King's main abilities are all focused on parasitism. All its attacks are to pave the way for parasitism," Song Mingyu summarized. "Fortunately, I am a nature-type and have quite a bit of research on plant growth-inducing techniques."
"Hmm..." Sophia groaned. Her condition was worse. It was easier to control and resist Song Mingyu's magic energy when it was in her own body, but it would be less efficient in someone else's body.
Sofia is currently using the five elements' mutual restraint and the fire of her heart to resist the parasite, and the effect is quite good, but it is quite painful.
Don't forget, this parasitic seed connects with the body's nerves. To resist these parasitic roots, you'll touch your own nerves. Directly stimulating a nerve is excruciating pain.
Hearing Sophia's groan of pain, Su Li felt a pang of sympathy and quickly asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
“There really is one.” Song Mingyu grabbed Su Li’s hand and placed it on her own breast. “I’ve almost suppressed it in my body. Sophia’s situation is a bit worse. Many nerves and seeds have been connected. Now, I will suppress the activity of the seeds. Sophia will use her magic power to protect the nerves that have been connected. Su Li, you will use your magic power to freeze the seeds to death.”
After Song Mingyu finished speaking, she explained the operation to Su Li in detail.
After understanding the situation, Su Li placed his hands on the northern hemispheres of his two wives and began to remove the parasitic seeds from them.
Song Mingyu's expression was very calm. Sophia, on the other hand, bit her lip and frowned.
Sun Lili, who had been watching, pinched her chin and suddenly said, "So the legend that older people are less sensitive to small things is true."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sophia's expression became nonchalant. "I see, no wonder I didn't feel anything."
Su Li played her childhood sad and embarrassing stories on repeat 10 times before the laughter stopped.
