Chapter 1225: A Decisive Battle

It's over.

Looking at Li Ang, who didn't take the opportunity to accelerate and escape the cooling lake when the giant monster fish was briefly hindered, but instead turned back and rushed over, the tall and thin man holding a large suitcase at the bottom of the lake couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

This 【Whale Shark Puppet】 of his only knows the simplest tail fin slap and full-speed charge, and doesn't have any amazing special abilities, but the purest physical destructive power itself is sometimes the most unsolvable attack.

When a behemoth weighing over a hundred tons performs a full-speed collision at a speed of over 40 knots, the resulting impact force is so great that it is fundamentally unimaginable for ordinary people.

Even the largest anchorless ship of the Thousand Sails Sea Kingdom could hardly withstand the full-speed collision of the 【Whale Shark Puppet】. With Li Ang's flesh strength, which is only slightly stronger than an ordinary human, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have the chance to be shattered.

According to his judgment, in most cases, at the moment of contact, he would be "smeared" onto the whale head, becoming a turbid stain that couldn't be washed off.

Although Li Ang, who has an immortal body, wouldn't be finished off so simply, as long as the "stain" is subjected to the simplest segmentation treatment before his body recovers, he can be left in a state of neither dead nor alive... Hmm?

Looking at the 【Whale Shark Puppet】 that was cut open along the midline of the spine like tender tofu, Director Scorpio's eyes couldn't help but widen, looking at the blurred human figure between the two halves of the whale shark with surprise.

What's going on? Why didn't 【Puppet Room】 trigger?

Bet right...

After cutting the monster fish crashing head-on into two halves with the effect of the 【Cutting Silver Dagger】, Li Ang, who had been tense, couldn't help but let out a long breath.

According to what Senior Ruben and the others said, Director Scorpio's 【Puppet Room】 can strengthen puppets and ensure that they are not "destroyed" by any external force, and the effect of the 【Cutting Silver Dagger】 itself is not destruction, but cutting open the things the blade touches while they are "alive".

Between this and that, it's estimated that he successfully drilled a loophole.

Director Scorpio's 【Puppet Room】 can prevent puppets from being destroyed, but it can't prevent the "cutting" of the 【Cutting Silver Dagger】. This knife given by Director Water Bottle just happened to be Director Scorpio's nemesis.

After catching his breath slightly, Li Ang once again relied on 【Path Ahead】 to push away the lake water around him, and then threw out a large handful of nut-sized shelled seeds.

"Senior Ruben!"

"Immediately!"

Accompanied by Ruben's response, the tree seeds thrown by Li Ang expanded instantly, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of root systems as thick as a thigh burst out.

These root systems, similar to the aerial roots of banyan trees, grew rapidly in the cooling lake, and in just a few breaths, they spread into a large area of intertwined branches and vines, binding the monster fish that was still twisting and struggling tightly.

And the fins at the chest and tail of the monster fish used to exert force and paddle water were given double the care, locked tightly by countless aerial roots, so that even moving slightly became an extravagant hope.

Solved!

As the monster fish cut into two halves was completely bound, the four people couldn't help but feel relaxed together.

No matter how much destructive power this monster fish could explode when charging at full speed, after being bound into this state by Ruben, it's estimated that it's impossible to rush up. Next, as long as...

"Well done."

A voice that all four were very familiar with sounded abruptly from nearby, and the four people couldn't help but tighten their nerves.

When Li Ang looked in the direction of the sound, he found that Director Scorpio, who had been "missing" for many days, was carrying his somewhat old large suitcase, stepped into the waterless area separated by 【Path Ahead】, and blocked the front of the "path" with a playful look.

"Ruben, Mo Na, Frankie."

After calling the names of the three cleaners of the Scorpio Branch, Director Scorpio said with joy:

"I thought you had already been blown to death. I didn't expect to see you again. This is truly great."

"Director Edward..."

After hearing Director Scorpio's words, the three cleaners of the Scorpio Branch couldn't help but show extremely complex expressions. Good news, the Director didn't die.

Bad news, he defected.

Worse news, if we can't beat him, then we have to die.

"Director, the three of us are actually already dead."

After getting Li Ang's hint to "drag for time," the female cleaner Mo Na calmed down and said with a complex expression:

"Li Ang went to the Yellow Springs in time. When the Death Messenger wanted to eat us, he drove the Death Messenger away and fished the three of us back."

"I see."

When he reached this point, Director Scorpio turned his gaze to Li Ang, his expression slightly grateful:

"Thank you for saving Mo Na and the others. To be honest, I am really glad now that I didn't refuse to let you participate in this mission."

"You're welcome."

After nodding to Director Scorpio, Li Ang, while secretly stealing the 【Whale Shark Puppet】 cut into two halves, asked with hope:

"So, in view of the favor that I saved your subordinates' lives, when you start taking action later, can you let go of a little bit of water?"

"Letting go of water is not possible, but I can try my best to leave you a whole corpse."

"..."

After smiling gratefully at Li Ang, who was speechless, Director Scorpio took out a strange-looking rapier and slashed it in the air casually, cutting off the tree roots binding the 【Whale Shark Puppet】, and like repairing other puppet anomalous objects destroyed by the 【Cutting Silver Dagger】, controlled the two halves of the 【Whale Shark Puppet】 to slowly merge toward the middle.

"Hey!"

However, just when he was waiting for the 【Whale Shark Puppet】 to recover, Li Ang, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head and asked:

"Director Edward, since you are so strong, why were you almost blown to death by artillery fire before?"

"You're talking about that..."

After hearing Li Ang's words, Director Scorpio hesitated slightly, not knowing if it counted as leaking secrets, but looking at Li Ang, who had been caught by him and could no longer escape, he thought for a moment and answered:

"Two weeks before taking action against me and Ruben and the others, the sprinkler system of the entire Kelo Kingdom had already been injected with diluted adrenaline counter-agents. Although there would be no feeling usually, the reaction speed at the critical moment couldn't be pulled up, so I couldn't even activate the substitute doll for life-saving.

By the way, you suddenly vomited at the time, but I couldn't dodge it and was vomited all over by you. That was when the adrenaline counter-agent was taking effect... It's a pity, if I had discovered this point at the time, maybe I wouldn't have become what I am now."

"A little bit of medicine knocked you down?"

After looking at Director Scorpio, whose expression was somewhat unwilling, Li Ang frowned:

"After Mo Na and the others died, they almost rushed back from the Yellow Springs. With your level, even if the flesh is destroyed, you can fight relying on your soul alone, right?"

"Yes, but my soul was sealed."

After sighing gloomily, Director Scorpio chatted with Li Ang while waiting for the whale shark to merge:

"Prince Andre is a member of the Luwang Society. He moved the Luwang Society to help, killed a True God, burned its flesh and blood, and sent a part of the power of one of the members in.

When I was preparing to let my soul leave my body, the power sent down by the Luwang Society forcibly blocked my soul back. And the soul depending on the flesh is the rule of the present world. In the case of the flesh fainting, the soul cannot remain awake alone, so I was caught like this." Luwang Society...

After firmly remembering this name in his heart, Li Ang continued to ask with disgust:

"So you didn't even resist and were caught directly?"

"That's not it, I still resisted a little."
