Druid Fairy

Chapter 34 Lessons
The power of combination skills is undeniable.

【Spore Growth】 and 【Spore Sensing】 are a combination of skills from the same branch. Using spores to spread and grow at the same time can instantly expand the field of vision by three times, covering more than the entire Peach Blossom Village.

Using the [Thorn Whip] to throw stones was an idea Li Pingcan had three years ago, but he eventually gave up due to a lack of materials—suitable stones were not easy to find locally.

But with the advent of "sculpted clay," this initial concept seems to have transcended mere fantasy.

The designated rock is shaped to the appropriate size, and the inertia of the thorn whip is used to launch the stone, enchanting it with magic stone magic while casting the spell.

Thus, a spectacle of "flying stones" made of magic stones was born!
Li Pingcan became more and more excited as he thought about it, and even thought of using the [Dancing Wind] micro-operation to calibrate the accuracy and accelerate the throwing distance of the stones.

"A group spell, 'Thorn Throwing Magic Stone Technique,' if it's truly researched, it's probably comparable to a first-level spell, enough to deal with several 'Bone Realm' martial artists, or even Qi and Blood Realm martial artists!"

Just do it!

"A random rock, the power of a magic stone, and twisted thorns as a sling, so that the thorns can throw the magic stone..."

"Wait, why is my Thorn dying so fast?"

The once vibrant, twisting thorns, upon contact with the magic stone, began to "spit out" purple sap that flowed onto the ground with a "plop plop" sound.

Li Pingcan rested his chin on his fingers. It seemed that the "poison" enchanted by the magic stone had completely destroyed the thorns. The thorns, created by the druid's power, did not seem to have any magic immunity or resistance to poison.

To solve this problem, you either need to increase the thorns' magic resistance or use precise timing to enchant the stones the moment they are thrown, thus avoiding contact with the thorns.

"Clay Shaping, Whip of Thorns, Magic Stone Spell!"

"Failed again, let's try again!"

One by one, the pebbles were resized to the appropriate size and thrown at the tree trunk ten steps away, making a "bang" sound as they collided.

With each attempt, he gradually mastered the rhythm and performed the task with ease and fluency.

But it was merely "thrown" out; both accuracy and power were far inferior, and its sense of direction often led it astray. This was still the control of a single thorn bush, a far cry from the ideal state of "stones flying everywhere" envisioned.

"Go home and ask your older brother about throwing techniques!"

My older brother has shown the talent of a "sharpshooter" since he was a child. It shouldn't be too much for him to ask for some tips and learn the basics. It's not like he really needs to be skilled.

Looking at his skill proficiency level constantly increasing, Li Pingcan hummed a tune and went home for dinner in a cheerful mood.

For several days in a row, after finishing his martial arts practice, he would take time to train in the deserted woods. Not only did he improve his accuracy, keeping the range around fifty meters with an error of no more than five meters, but he also gained some insights.

The thorns are no more than two meters long, and the stones are shaped into olive-shaped projectiles with a 45° launch angle, which can exert the most powerful force.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Five whips fired simultaneously!

The arrow struck the distant paper mulberry tree, causing its branches to tremble violently. A sapling about three centimeters in diameter was even snapped in half by the arrow, demonstrating considerable power!

Li Pingcan nodded in satisfaction.

"The magic enchanted by the Magic Stone spell has effects like sting causing intense pain, frost slowing down enemies, and poison causing continuous damage. The effects are so-so. Once the Magic Stone spell is maxed out, it should have more powerful enchantment effects."

There is still a lot of room for exploration.

Most importantly, this combination of skills makes it least afraid of group battles!
If he had enough "blue bars", Li Pingcan could create a vast expanse of thorny magic stones that would blot out the sky!

"That's all for today's research. Time to go home and have dinner!"

He carried a straw in his mouth as he went down the mountain to go home, but on the way he saw a familiar figure and immediately frowned.

"Yuanyuan?"

Xie Yuan was surrounded by several boys and girls of similar age, who seemed to be arguing fiercely. When they saw Li Pingcan approaching, the children yelled "Monster!" and scattered like birds and beasts.

"Brother Can!" Yuanyuan's eyes were red, like a little rabbit's, her little mouth slightly pouting, looking like she was about to cry. "What do you mean by 'living under someone else's roof'? Am I a bad child that Grandma doesn't want?"

Li Pingcan was somewhat angry, not at Xie Yuan, but at those mischievous children.

He was willing to be a child, indulging in his parents' love and his brothers' protection, experiencing a warmth he had never felt in his previous life. But after all, he was a transmigrator, mature in mind, and the gossip from the outside world could not affect him.

But Xie Yuan is a genuine child.

It's hard to imagine the extent of trauma such vicious words would inflict on a six-year-old child. "Yuanyuan, you are your grandmother's most beloved child." Li Pingcan took out a handkerchief and wiped her little face, saying earnestly, "You are not living under someone else's roof; you are my sister, Li Pingcan's sister."

He recounted in detail the gift of the "White Crane Style" from his master, hoping Xie Yuan would understand how important she was to her grandparents and that she was never inferior to anyone.

Xie Yuan looked up, bewildered, "Then Brother Can is a descendant of the White Crane?"

Li Pingcan smiled leisurely, "You could say that."

“But my grandfather said that the white crane could not be passed on to outsiders of the Xie family.”

Xie Yuan's face scrunched up in confusion, but then she seemed to have figured something out. Her eyes lit up, and she said in a clear, bright voice, "When I grow up, I want to marry Brother Can, have a child, and pass the White Crane on to him!"

"You..." Li Pingcan was both amused and exasperated.

If that's the case, his son will also have the surname "Li".

On second thought, there's no point in correcting a child's innocent remarks. When Yuanyuan grows up, she might not even remember what happened today!

…………

Since making this "grand ambition," Xie Yuan has clearly become more attached to Li Pingcan, trailing behind him like a little tail from time to time.

Li Pingfu asked with envy and confusion, "Why does my little sister like Brother Can so much?"

He likes his younger sister too, so why isn't she clingy to him?
Li Ping'an, while packing up a stack of books, relentlessly teased, "You're as strong as a black bear, who wouldn't be afraid of you?"

He glanced at Xie Yuan, a hint of displeasure in his eyes. This younger sister was diverting too much of his younger brother's attention; the two brothers hadn't had a proper conversation in a long time. Watching his younger brother interact with Xie Yuan, he felt a slight pang of jealousy, but not at all!

Well, he can't possibly compete with Xie Yuan for favor, so he should just focus on his studies!
Li Pingcan was unaware that his second brother was jealous and had a falling out. He continued his daily routine of practicing martial arts, improving his combo skills, and resting at home.

This day.

Li Pingcan returned home as usual and "coincidentally" encountered three naughty children from the village.

I don't know where they got their courage from. They suffered losses time and time again, but they became more and more courageous. They were like NPCs in a game, always finding ways to complete the story missions.

Perhaps it's because Li Pingchan didn't go all out.

"Monster!" "Monster!"

The eight- or nine-year-old mischievous children, armed with small sticks, were menacing and their sheer numbers fueled their increased courage.

"I seem to have been too good-tempered lately."

That's what emboldened these guys to push their luck.

Just as Li Pingcan was about to give them a hard time, a voice came.

"Don't bully Chan-gege!"

Xie Yuan burst into tears, sobbing as she stood in front of Li Pingcan, trembling and her voice quivering as she said fiercely but cutely, "Go...away! Get away!"

"Where did this little brat come from? Get out of here!"

Just as the eldest child was about to push Xie Yuan away, a hand grabbed his wrist, and no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't break free, howling in pain.

"roll!"

"Hmph! Fine, I'll get out then! Who's afraid of you!"

He turned and rolled away angrily, completely unaware that the fluorescent light had already marked him.

late at night.

In the mischievous boy's house, thunderous snoring filled the air, and something lurked and scurried about in the shadows.

As if sensing something, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked over.

next moment.

The swarms of insects surged like a tide, the Black Sea seemed endless.
