Chapter 774: There's Something Fishy!

Elisa didn't say anything.

She just slightly turned her head and cast a sidelong glance at Lan Qingyou who had stopped.

Then, she reached out her hand, preparing to cast her earth element magic to turn over the soil.

However.

Just as she was about to act, her expression suddenly changed!

Subsequently, she leaped backward, directly jumping behind Lan Qingyou's magic broom.

Frightening Lan Qingyou into hurriedly adjusting the gravity parameters to avoid being dragged into the ditch by this guy...

"What's wrong!?"

"Fly up! Quick!"

Although she didn't understand what was going on, her combat literacy still allowed Lan Qingyou to react instantly and immediately make the corresponding move.

Swoosh—!!!

Almost at the same time the magic broom began to ascend, something grey suddenly darted out from the non-hollow part of the broken tree.

It was just that because Lan Qingyou was ascending right now, she only slightly turned her head to take a glance.

So she didn't see it clearly.

When she climbed to an altitude of two hundred meters, she finally stopped and looked down.

It was a monster that looked like a fly with two large yellow eyes.

But compared to an ordinary fly, this guy's two compound eyes were exceptionally huge.

Taking up a third of its entire body, the remaining two-thirds were things like its mouthparts, wings, legs, and abdomen.

It looked extremely disproportionate.

And the most interesting part was that attached to the very end of this fly's abdomen was a long, thin tube.

This tube led directly into the hollow tree below.

[Description: Originally a low-tier magic beast, a deformed product formed after being controlled by something.]

...

Looking at the thing appraised by the Analytical Demon Eye, Lan Qingyou was already speechless.

Very clearly.

This wasn't something the world's will knew.

Or rather, as a magic beast originally, it should have known it, but now because of 'something', it had changed from a magic beast to a monster.

So the world's will didn't know, and could only give this kind of ambiguous information.

Sigh...

Although it was a bit regretful, right now she could only accept it.

Or rather, even if she cared, it wouldn't be of any use.

After all, since this was what was displayed, she could only accept it.

But one thing was certain, the Puppet Fly in front of her was definitely an abyssal monster.

Or rather, whatever was controlling this monster that was originally a magic beast was definitely an abyssal monster.

And one she hadn't seen before at that.

If she had seen it on Storm Island, her Demon Eye would definitely have a record of it.

This point was beyond doubt.

As for why there was no level, name, Health Value, and Mana Value, she could only say that Esmeralda hadn't arrived yet.

Once she brought her game client over, it would have them.

"How is it?"

"A type of controlled fly, mm... let's just call it a Puppet Fly. If nothing unexpected happened, the one controlling this guy should be an abyssal monster."

"What! Abyssal monster!"

Hearing this name, Elisa immediately yelled.

This wasn't fear, but excitement.

Although Elisa was afraid of bugs, compared to abyssal monsters, bugs and the like weren't something she couldn't overcome.

Especially since this fly didn't look like a bug at all.

You've got to be kidding me!

Having traveled for more than half a month, now that she had finally encountered an abyssal monster, how could Elisa not be excited?

Although she didn't know exactly what was going on, looking at the tube trailing below this guy that the Tower Witch called a Puppet Fly, she knew what the meaning of 'puppet' in it was.

Thus, Elisa didn't wait to see what Lan Qingyou would do.

She took the lead, throwing out the magic carpet she had already put away, jumped onto it, and flew downwards.

Tactics, thinking—she completely didn't care about any of that.

Making Lan Qingyou's eyelids twitch watching her.

But!

She didn't want to do anything right now. Floating in the air like this was quite nice.

On one hand, it was naturally because she wanted to observe more and collect some intelligence and such.

And on the other hand, it was because of Elisa's combat.

To be honest, up until now, she had never seen how Elisa fought.

After all, they had never been together before.

Although they had been together for this past half a month or so, they had only encountered things like magic beasts that couldn't be brought to the table.

So she had never seen the other party's true combat stance.

That's right.

Even during that arena tournament where the two had a formal clash, it was the same.

In Lan Qingyou's view, that previous clash was mostly not a battle as a witch.

Whether it was the initial pursuit or the grand showdown between the Homunculi and the Golems afterwards, they were nothing more than contests between alchemists.

So what her side as a witch was truly like, she really didn't know.

If she said there hadn't been any updates after so many years, Lan Qingyou wouldn't believe it.

After all, her own combat style had already been updated twice.

One set throwing rocks, one set playing with time.

So.

Right now, quietly admiring the other party's combat first might also be a good idea.

Of course, the most important reason was that the other party had been holding it in for more than half a month since teleporting over.

She believed that even if she was watching from the sidelines, this Workshop Witch definitely wouldn't hold back.

Even...

"Tower Clan's, this abyssal monster is mine, don't you interfere!"

See, what did I say.

The shout from Elisa transmitting from below made Lan Qingyou involuntarily curl her lips.

However, what happened next made her feel something was amiss.

Originally, Elisa was charging towards that already shriveled Puppet Fly.

But who knew, before she could even fly over, several more such Puppet Flies flew out from the hollow part of that hollow tree.

One, two, three, four, five...

One by one, Puppet Flies flew out from the hollow, and in the end, there were as many as twelve of them.

But if it were only this, there would be no need for Lan Qingyou to be surprised.

What she felt was amiss weren't these Puppet Flies being controlled by something.

But this guy Elisa.

From the moment the other party charged down and the Puppet Flies flew out one by one to attack her, this guy had constantly been in a side-to-side swaying flight posture.

Logically speaking, this kind of flight posture superimposed with those twelve Puppet Flies should have resulted in a collision long ago.

But this guy, with every sway, could very accurately dodge the Puppet Flies' attacks.

Once or twice could perhaps be a coincidence.

But happening every time, then there must definitely be something fishy in this.

This didn't mean Lan Qingyou observed very carefully, or that she was staring intently at Elisa.

But rather that the other party's dodging method was simply too obvious.

Obvious to the point that Lan Qingyou could tell just by glancing a bit.

This should be some kind of ability of the other party's.

Perhaps it was even her Demon Eye.

But regardless, since Elisa did this, it meant she didn't plan to hide anything in front of her.

Or rather, there was completely no need to hide?
