The ability of this terrifying scarecrow is more tricky than the mountain ogre he encountered before, except for the rough skin and thicker flesh, plus the bloodthirsty terror, he can basically be regarded as a cannibal and intelligent beast, and there are not many supernatural elements. And the terrifying scarecrow's two skills are very strong in supernatural elements, compared to the ogre, like the difference between the noble mage and the bitter warrior.

But the noble scarecrow had a fatal flaw - the inability to move.

After seeing the Dreaded Scarecrow and learning about its abilities, Luke had a preliminary guess about what had happened on the farm over this time.

This monster should have been just an ordinary scarecrow before, but because he didn't know where the abyssal breath came from, by chance, he was alienated into a terrifying scarecrow, and he had a certain amount of wisdom.

It first drove the crows to attack and kill the ranch's livestock, and then Tom, the farm's hired man, suspected that someone was causing trouble, and reported the situation to Mason over the phone, and the Masons returned to the farm.

After several attempts and temptations, it discovered that the humans in the vicinity had no means to deal with the Dreaded Crows, and its actions escalated.

In the end, it chose to surround the farm with [Expelling the Mist] when the Refitt father and son came to visit the farm, and the farm was the most crowded recently.

People inside the farm can't get out, and people from outside can't get in, creating an environment that isolates the inside and outside, and summons the horror crows to harass and attack, trying to maximize the fear in the hearts of the besieged people on the farm.

Fortunately, Mason and the others were lucky enough to accidentally stumble upon the salt bomb's slight restraint on the dreaded crow's ability to void, and they had a certain ability to protect themselves, and Luke felt very timely and appeared in time to save them shortly after being besieged.

Otherwise, after a few days, Mason and the others will be trapped and unable to escape, coupled with the frequent commotion attacks of the crows, they will inevitably gradually fall into despair, so that the scarecrow will collect more fear, which will further strengthen the crows, hurt or even kill someone on the farm, and then bring greater fear and despair, forming a vicious circle.

Thinking about it this way, there is an explanation for the sudden attack of the dreaded crows last night.

Due to Luke's arrival, several people trapped on the farm learned of the outside world, and knew that the outside police station was already watching the farm and trying to rescue them. Seeing the extraordinary abilities he displayed and listening to him tell about the results of slaying this strange crow, my heart was much more uplifted, and my fear naturally weakened.

Sensing that the fear of the harvest had decreased, the Dreaded Scarecrow sent the crows to observe and intimidate, but nothing was gained, so in order to arouse the fear of the besieged humans, they simply launched a direct attack.

After the dreaded crows were all wiped out, the scarecrow lost the means to directly attack humans, and could not collect fear, probably in order to temporarily hide itself and avoid this window period of losing its summons, it directly dispersed the [Expulsion Mist], trying to disguise that the incident had completely ended, so that Luke and the others could relax their vigilance.

As Luke approached, the Dreaded Scarecrow seemed to realize that he had been discovered, but all the Dreaded Crows summoned had been killed, and there was no way to re-summon it yet, and the Scarecrow, who had no ability to move, could only try to use [Expelling the Mist] to protect himself.

A faint layer of mist appeared abruptly, and expanded rapidly, becoming denser and denser.

Mason and the others, who were waiting outside the farm, saw the fog suddenly reappearing, and anxiously shouted inside, "Luke, be careful, come out quickly." ”

Luke didn't care.

He already knew the details of this scarecrow, so naturally he would not be afraid. This fog could not expel him at its thickest, let alone the thin layer now.

Luke knew that he had been discovered by the scarecrow, so he no longer disguised, and rushed directly to the scarecrow, and after getting close to the range of one meter, he raised the Winchester in his hand high, and the psionic energy surged upward, bringing a roaring thunderous flame, and swung his stick at the scarecrow's head.

The scarecrow was unable to move, and there was no way to avoid it, so he had to eat the attack raw, the hat on his head was knocked away, and the straw filled with his face was also ignited by the lightning fire, and began to burn with a trace of black gas.

Enemies that can't move to counterattack are great!

This scarecrow didn't talk about martial arts before, he came to deceive, and came to attack Mason, a fifty-year-old man.

Luke hit a set of lightning five-stick backhand, and the stick did not leave the vital point of the head.

The head of the straw anthropomorphic was hit by thunder and fire and huge force repeatedly, and finally couldn't stand it, a burst of thick black smoke dissipated, and the thunder fire of the spiritual energy completely ignited the head of the scarecrow, and then the tongue of fire swallowed all the way down the head, its body was like pouring gasoline, burning violently, and the dense fog that had just overflowed around it immediately dissipated.

Get!

Ability seedlings also appeared at the right time, and a burst of gravity appeared, drawing the energy left by the scarecrow after death from the void.

Level: Directly increased from level 2 (38%) to level 2 (86%)

In addition, in the energy absorbed, a point of light appeared in a flash, and after spinning twice in the sky above the ability seedling, it headed straight for the seedling. Another leaf on top of the seedling quietly grows, and Luke understands that this is the skill [Fear Crow].

Mason and the others, who were anxiously waiting, saw the thunder and fire from a distance and the fog dissipated, guessed that the incident was over, and hurriedly drove to Luke's side.

Looking at everyone's caring and inquiring eyes, Luke grinned, hugged his worried mother, and said, "It's all done." ”

The gloom in everyone's hearts was swept away, and little Porter jumped up happily and shouted, "Long live Brother Luke!"

After the strange change of the Fear Scarecrow, the burning is also different from the normal straw, and there is no ash left.

After a brief finish and another patrol around the farm, the six of them went to Cheng County together for a day of rest.

The next day, Tom and Refitt return to their respective farms to take care of the crops. Mr. and Mrs. Mason decided to stay in Cheng County to buy some livestock cubs, and the farm was almost empty of livestock and needed to be filled urgently.

Luke is returning to Phoenix, although only three days have passed since the week's vacation, but Lady Lillian stubbornly believes that Luke needs to return to school as soon as possible to catch up with the lessons that have been pulled down, even if Luke is already a "little superman" who has mastered extraordinary powers, but he still can't disobey his mother's long-standing emphasis on academics.

After all, at this time, the lighthouse country had not yet developed into a period of happy education and a serious anti-intellectual trend, and there was still a natural worship of scientists and other intellectuals in society. It's very good at fighting, but now I have to talk about academic qualifications and certificates, and I can't even get into a university, so I'll be useless.
