Staring at the Crooked Neck Tree laden with Hanging Fruit, as well as the arm-like roots constantly drilling out of the ground,
Han Dong neither panicked nor made any defensive moves for the moment.
He was rapidly considering something important.
Do I have to destroy this tree within a set time?
Once the Ladybug Count changes accordingly, the scene will disappear... If I wait for the next matching difficulty level, there will be too many uncontrollable factors in the meantime, and I'll waste a lot of time as well.
In that case, I can't keep this fight on the surface. I have to take the risk myself.
With that thought, Han Dong yanked Sally to his side.
"Sally, I have an important task for you... Since time is limited, I'll cut directly into the main trunk.
That will definitely provoke this tree into launching near-mad attacks.
While I'm cutting, I need you and Earl to protect me together and minimize the damage I take."
Sally nodded and immediately drew ten arrows.
She fired them in rapid succession, each one striking the Hanging Fruit dangling from the branches with a headshot... Ah! The Hanged Ones whose heads were pierced let out horrifying wails.
That immediately drew the Crooked Neck Tree's attention, and the nearby roots all locked onto Sally.
"Go!"
"Okay..."
Taking advantage of the opening, Han Dong sprinted toward the trunk at full speed.
Huff... Blood-red vapor continuously escaped from between his mask.
Nurse Lester's arm was likewise connected through Han Dong's shoulder blade in the form of the Third Hand, transforming into a bloodhound-like shape.
"Earl, while I'm cutting, you're responsible for guarding my back."
"I'll do my best, but Miss Sally still needs to come help... With this arm alone, I can't bring out all of my strength."
