507 The Golden Straw Man

The beating hurt.

There were also many straw men around who were using straws to repair their bodies. Unfortunately, these straw men had suffered severe injuries during the battle, and many looked like they were about to fall apart.

But even so, these straw men did not die. Instead, after filling their bodies with rice straws, they recovered rapidly.

Nearby, many straw men patrolled back and forth nervously, paying attention to the situation of the surrounding rice fields for fear that enemies would appear.

“Even a top-tier ferocious bird almost on the same level as the Wind Pterosaur King was stranded here. I’m afraid that these people aren’t simple.”

Li Xiang took a deep breath and stared at the situation below, his heart trembling. For these straw men to be able to farm in the wilderness of the various world continent and even suppress a top-tier ferocious bird, one could only imagine their combat strength.

It was rare to see such a brutal monster.

“Qing Ying, did you come here to ask me to save that ferocious bird?” Li Xiang asked Qing Ying.

“Chirp…” Qing Ying nodded and expressed her thoughts.

It turned out that after Qing Ying had defeated the Wing Pterosaur King and destroyed hundreds of floating warships of the three-eyed race, she had encountered this bird.

This ferocious bird was covered in golden feathers and looked like an eagle. However, its body was so huge that it looked more like the legendary golden-winged Peng bird.

This golden-winged Peng bird had also broken through the limit of Rank 200 and stepped into the demigod realm. Its bloodline was similarly noble to the legendary Peng bird. As soon as it met Phoenix Qing Ying, they fought.

The two of them fought each other, and the sky turned dark. The green storm and the golden flame kept colliding, and their destructive powers were like two tornadoes.

Not only the sky but even the ground was in a mess. Countless fierce and demonic beasts died in the aftermath of the battle between the two divine beasts.

This battle could be said to be evenly matched. No one could easily win.

Their battle ended up in this region.

The two of them did not care about the other situation at all. They had already gone all out but did not expect this to cause a disaster.

The two tornadoes wreaked havoc in the entire region. Countless rice fields were destroyed, and numerous golden essence rice grains were eliminated.

This completely enraged the straw men in the valley. For some reason, they threw out a large net and caught the golden-winged Peng bird and the Phoenix Qing Ying. A large group of straw men pulled the net and tried to drag them to the ground.

Even though Qing Ying had already escaped, she still felt terrified.

It was unknown what the net was made of, but it was strangely sturdy. Even the Golden Wind Blades shot by the golden-winged Peng bird could not cut it. Instead, it glowed with golden light, and even the demigod powerhouses could not tear it apart.

The number of straw men below also became more and more astonishing. Countless straw men rushed out to help pull the net, and their power combined became greater and greater.

Qing Ying was so scared that she spat out her Phoenix Golden Flame, but it still could not break the net.

The golden-winged Peng bird had already used most of its energy after the battle with Qing Ying. Now that it was being pulled, it had almost no strength to resist. If it fell to the ground, it would not end well when it saw these savage straw men.

This golden-winged Peng bird suddenly burst out at the crucial moment and rushed into the sky, bringing the vast golden net with it. Then, it forcefully tore a gap in the net.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Phoenix’s figure suddenly shrank under the golden-winged Peng bird’s gaze and squeezed out through the gap.

However, the golden-winged Peng bird’s strength weakened after the explosion, and it was immediately pulled to the ground by the straw man.

Without the Phoenix’s help, the golden-winged Peng bird was still unable to escape, even though it was powerful. After it crashed onto the ground, it unleashed countless Golden Wind Blades that shredded many straw men.

In the end, it was knocked unconscious by a golden straw man with a stick.

When it woke up again, he was stranded alone.

From the looks of it, if this continued, the golden-winged Peng bird would probably die here.

It was impossible to escape.

After Qing Ying was freed, she did not have much choice. She immediately returned to the Kingdom of Dawn to ask for help. She brought Li Xiang here to see if he could save the golden-winged Peng bird.

Although he was not sure what was going on, he could tell from Qing Ying’s reaction that she was trying to save the golden-winged Peng bird.

“It won’t be easy to save it!” Li Xiang frowned and fell into deep thought.

The number of straw men in the valley was shocking, and a golden straw man stood on the back of the golden-winged Peng bird. Even without the golden net, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to save it from the bamboo sticks nailed to its wings.

Even the golden-winged Peng bird, which was evenly matched with the Phoenix, was trapped. One could imagine how terrifying the golden rice straw men were. It was terrifying.

Qing Ying’s bright eyes dimmed when she heard that.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the golden straw man below seemed to sense something. It raised its head and looked up at the sky. A pair of golden eyes could be seen under the simple straw hat, and a golden light flashed in them.

Qing Ying seemed shocked, and her body moved and fled into the distance.

“Whoosh…”

As the golden light spread, a vast golden net suddenly spread out. If Qing Ying had reacted slower and not dodged it, the two of them would have been completely covered and pulled to the ground.

If Qing Ying had not been prepared, she would have been hit on the spot.

“Such sharp senses. Even a straw man can become so terrifying.” Li Xiang secretly took a breath and was a little surprised.

This world was becoming increasingly incomprehensible with the appearance of strange monsters.

He did not know where these straw men came from. Perhaps they had come from a transcendent world, and their abilities had been enhanced after coming here. But, in the end, they evolved through time and space, resulting in their current state.

Judging from how these straw men acted, they had intelligence and were not puppets created by humans.

However, he was puzzled about how the straw men would reproduce.

There was no distinction between men and women among the straw men, and they could not reproduce through biological means. However, there were so many of them now, so there must be a specific reproduction method.

“If we can find the reproduction method for these straw men, we might be able to take them for our use. After all, these straw men look cold and heartless. Though there are all kinds of corpses on the ground, they don’t kill for the sake of killing. Instead, those people may have coveted the rice here but were eventually caught and turned into fertilizer by the straw men.”
