Chaos Lord: Infinite Guidance

Chapter 41 Revisit the Mysterious Scarecrow

"The second top-tier master!"

Wang Jue was relieved. He brought up Wang Jianglong's information panel. This general who protected the country was an archer. His [Dragon Subduing Seal] could hit targets 100 meters away. Before Wang Jue could finish reading the introduction of the [Dragon Subduing Seal], a system broadcast suddenly sounded.

"Ding, area notification: Attention! The enraged Colonel Fire Duck has landed from the south. Prepare for battle!"

"Ding! Colonel Fire Duck's health status will be displayed above his head as four health bars. Each time a health bar is depleted, a story event will be triggered and a notification will be issued!"

"Ding, in ten minutes, Holy Light Grand Knight Domkaka will arrive to provide support. Colonel Fire Duck's health status will affect Domkaka's favorability towards you."

"Colonel Fire Duck is here!"

Wang Jue didn't bother checking Wang Jianglong's attribute information anymore. He told the 99 little beggars to wait where they were, then quickly led Wang Jianglong up the city wall and shouted, "Everyone, all melee fighters, assemble below and prepare for battle!"

Mad Dog King and his men are highly loyal and act immediately.

Soon, only Bafang Bubai, Wang Jianglong, Aodelong, Bandehu, and the progenitor giant cat Paodekuai remained on the city wall.

Odron said, "Brother City Lord, may I continue to stand on the city wall and kill ducks? My arms are too short; I won't be able to hit the fire ducks down below!"

"Okay!" Wang Jue nodded, then looked at Bandhu.

Bandhu said, "What are you looking at me for? I'm not one of yours!"

"You can no longer be considered human; you're more like a ghost that's not quite dead!"

Wang Jue then looked at the Primordial Giant Cat and shouted, "You're not fast! Even though you're not human, you still take up one person's place. Go down and fight!"

"Meow!"

The ancestral giant cat meowed, showing some grievance, but it also leaped down from the six-meter-high city wall.

Wang Jue then said to Bafang Bubai, "Bafang Bubai, when that Fire Duck Colonel appears, you go on a killing spree against him!"

Bafang Bubai nodded and said, "The night is dark and the wind is high; the timing is perfect!"

"Stop messing around, honey, it's broad daylight!"

Bandhu roared.

"Bandhu!" Wang Jue approached Bandhu again at this moment.

"What are you doing?"

Bandhu jumped in fright. He turned to look at Wang Jue and saw that Wang Jue was glowing. He then jumped back twice more.

"Wrong number, I wasn't looking for you!" Wang Jue raised his voice. "Mysterious Scarecrow! Our territory is currently being invaded by Fire Ducks, and there's also a Fire Duck Colonel invading. I need you to boost our combat strength..."

With his last 100 points of soul power, Wang Jue dared not risk giving Wang Jianglong any more guidance; he planned to use them on the mysterious scarecrow.

"A smiling mask, who is crying? A windbreaker made of sails, like a broken angel's wing! These are the descriptions of you. You must have an extraordinary past, but it's too early to delve into your experiences. What you need to do now is grow up safely and healthily..."

Wang Jue was trying to figure out how to enlighten the mysterious scarecrow, but he stopped speaking at this moment because the mysterious scarecrow had already started to glow.

"Ding! Guidance successful! The mysterious scarecrow has gained clarity after your guidance and has made some progress!"

"Ding! The Mysterious Scarecrow's height has increased by 5 centimeters, tentacles by 2, and tentacles by 1 meter."

With a system notification, two steel whip-like tentacles slid out from the eerie scarecrow's trench coat, then rose up and swiftly lashed out at the nearby Fallen Fire Ducks.

The mysterious scarecrow now had four tentacles, each seemingly possessing independent consciousness and attacking on its own!

Holy crap!

Bandhu exclaimed in surprise, his eyes wide as he looked at Wang Jue and said, "Again! Again!"

Wang Jue didn't have time to pay attention to him. He quickly turned around and went down the city wall, where he directed Mad Dog King and the others from below.

With the city walls of the compound not yet fully closed, the terrain advantage was not significant, and Wang Jue planned to confront Colonel Fire Duck at the foot of the walls.

Mad Dog King, the three Fishman brothers, and the Primordial Giant Cat are fast runners, so they should be in the front row. Bafang Bubai and Wang Jianglong are archers, so they should fight on the city wall.

As for the 28 elderly beggars and 99 young beggars, they were a special forces team, and they would be made to beg collectively once the battle began.

Before long, Colonel Fire Duck, who was about three meters tall, wearing a military green cloak, a peaked cap, and red feathers, appeared in Wang Jue's field of vision.

This fire duck colonel looks like he stepped out of a comic book. Although he still has the body of a duck, his form is anthropomorphic. He clenches his left wing into a thick fist and rolls a large cleaver around his right wing as he runs forward, leaving a trail of dust in his wake.

Several red apricot throwing knives were already stuck in his peaked cap, and Bafang Bubai, with a range of 300 meters, had already attacked him.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

More daggers are still flying in.

Colonel Fire Duck, having been stabbed repeatedly, appeared extremely agitated, constantly quacking and spewing out bursts of sparks.

Above his head was a conspicuous bright red bar, which was his health bar. It was slightly empty, with about 90% remaining.

Wang Jue discovered that even Ba Fang Bu Bai's flying knife couldn't reduce the enemy's health bar by 1%.

Suddenly, Wang Jue heard a sharp shout from the city wall: "Use drastic medicine for a serious illness!"

This means that Colonel Fire Duck has entered the firing range of General Wang Jianglong, the protector of the nation.

Wang Jue looked up and saw Wang Jianglong on the city wall flick his trench coat, then make a strange hand gesture with his right hand, palm down, as if grasping a large seal, and then press it down hard.

With this press, a booming sound rang out, and a phantom of a divine dragon flew out from the top of Wang Jiang's head. The phantom of the dragon was lifelike, estimated to be more than ten meters long, and its scales and whiskers could be clearly seen. It circled in the sky for a moment before crashing into Colonel Fire Duck with great force.

For the phantom dragon, a distance of one hundred meters is covered in the blink of an eye.

"quack!"

Colonel Fire Duck noticed the dragon-shaped phantom flying in the sky, but did not dodge. He raised his wings to cover his face, and then with a loud bang, the dragon phantom slammed solidly into Colonel Fire Duck's body, splashing into a burst of light.

Colonel Fire Duck was blasted to the ground, his health bar instantly decreasing by about 5%.

He yelled and rolled over to get up, but as soon as he got up, he was hit on the head by a flying apricot knife.

"Giggle! Ptooey!"

Colonel Fire Duck spat, looking rather disheveled, shook his feathers, and quickly ran towards the city wall.

About three seconds later, another phantom of a divine dragon blasted it away.

"The special effects of the Dragon Subduing Seal are really good. Compared to the Eight Directions Invincible Red Apricot Branch, it has a longer cooldown time, but it is obviously more powerful. And Colonel Fire Duck looks pretty tough too..."

Wang Jue narrowed his eyes, then shouted, "Mad Dog King, Fast Runner, Carp Jason, Catfish Sica, Sharlion, prepare to fight! The rest of you beggars, listen to my command and prepare to beg!"

The subordinates responded with a line.

Soon, as Colonel Fire Duck got closer, Mad Dog King took the lead and rushed out.

Next up were the three fish-man brothers, running forward.

The largest of the giant cat ancestors, however, hesitated and lay on the ground, meowing softly.

Upon seeing this, Wang Jue understood that Colonel Fire Duck's combat power was definitely higher than that of the Primordial Giant Cat, and its performance was undoubtedly due to the activation of its passive ability of "bullying the weak and fearing the strong".

"That useless cat!" Wang Jue muttered, no longer caring about the ancestral giant cat. He stepped forward and shouted, "All beggars, listen to my command! Step forward and beg!"

"Give me some food!"

A group of young and old beggars shouted out their lines in unison, and then lined up to step forward.

At this moment, Mad Dog King had already engaged in combat with Colonel Fire Duck. Colonel Fire Duck was extremely irritable. After taking a sliding slash, he stopped and began to clash head-on with Mad Dog King.

Carp Jason and Catfish Sika were punching Mad Dog King on either side, while Sharlion stood behind the three of them, striking poses and showing off his muscles.

Wang Jue observed carefully and found that Mad Dog King was indeed a martial arts master. His movements were swift and agile, and his swordsmanship was ferocious as he moved around. Compared to him, Colonel Fire Duck was much clumsy, only able to brute force his way through the blows, and was powerless and angry.

But Colonel Fire Duck was undoubtedly stronger. His body could withstand Mad Dog King's slashes, but if Mad Dog King were to take a blow from him, he would probably be seriously injured.

As for Jason the Carp and Sika the Catfish, they're just a joke. Colonel Fire Duck completely ignores them and just keeps hacking and slashing at Mad Dog King, but the attacks that Mad Dog King dodges always end up hitting them!

With Sharion's aura of resilience, these fishmen can withstand the blows with their bare hands, but they will fall to the ground as soon as they are hit, and they will bounce back up only to be hit again...

The situation was like a mad dog king leading two roly-poly toys in a fight.

Wang Jue relaxed slightly, thinking to himself, "Judging from the situation, I can hold on! If Colonel Blood Duck doesn't have any other skills, he'll be done for here today!"
