Chapter 1187: Having an Elder at Home Is Like Having a Treasure
In reality, although these spotted white foals were quite strong and numerous, there was still a significant gap between their strength and Liu Yan's. Additionally, Liu Yan was skilled in
large-scale elemental skills.
Thus, without that mysterious group skill, White Net, Liu Yan would find it very easy to deal with the spotted white foal herd.
However, this was the problem.
The mysterious group skill, White Net, was not only powerful and versatile in both offense and defense, but it was also extremely special and could be used many times, which gave Liu Yan a headache.
With that mysterious group skill, White Net, Liu Yan found it difficult to deal with the spotted white foals over a wide area.
However, if he charged into the spotted white foal herd, Liu Yan could continuously break through them individually.
As long as Liu Yan was within the spotted white foal herd, they naturally could not use the mysterious group skill White Net on him, as it would affect them as well.
But if that was the case, Liu Yan's speed in dealing with the spotted white foals would be a bit slow, and he did not want to spend too much time handling these thousands of spotted white foals.
Just as Liu Yan was feeling a headache, the Withered Tree Spirit King spoke up, saying that it might have a solution.
Liu Yan's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
Although the Withered Tree Spirit King had not participated in today's battle and had not been released, it had a Soul Contact with Liu Yan. Even if it was not released, it could still see everything Liu Yan experienced.
When the Withered Tree Spirit King followed Liu Yan, it was powerful and could help him a lot.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
However, as time passed and Liu Yan's strength and the strength of his opponents increased rapidly, the Withered Tree Spirit King's combat strength could no longer keep up, and it could not assist Liu Yan much in battle.
Nevertheless, the Withered Tree Spirit King should not be underestimated. After all, it had lived for over a thousand years and had accumulated vast experience and knowledge.
Liu Yan quickly inquired, "What do you mean?"
The Withered Tree Spirit King replied, "That mysterious group skill is indeed a bit strange. However, everything in the world has a trace. This group skill is powerful and can be used continuously. According to my observation, there are two key points."
"Firstly, this group skill is quite special. It can 'store' energy in a unique way. It stores a lot of energy during normal times, which is why it can be extracted and used in battle. This allows it to be used many times."
When Liu Yan heard this, he immediately understood.
Upon reflection, it made sense. The spotted white foals were strong, but it was impossible for them to frequently use such a powerful group skill. It was very likely that this was the case.
Simply put, it used a special method to store a lot of energy for casting the mysterious group skill, White Net, and during battle, this stored energy could be continuously extracted and used.
It was equivalent to being able to use the energy that was usually stored during combat. Liu Yan understood this but frowned, saying, "But if the spotted white foal herd usually stores a lot of energy, wouldn't I need to consume it for a long time before it's depleted? This seems quite disadvantageous. It's like I'm consuming their accumulated energy over the years, and I'm doing it alone against a whole group."
After all, according to what Liu Yan had just learned from the Golden-eyed Little White Dragon, this was the territory of the spotted white foals.
Moreover, the spotted white foals were extremely powerful and had no nearby opponents, which likely meant they had not engaged in many intense battles or used their mysterious group skills extensively.
If that was the case, the spotted white foals might have accumulated a lot of energy over time.
If that were true, Liu Yan would be at a disadvantage in this battle.
It was difficult for one person to consume the energy accumulated by the spotted white foals.
The Withered Tree Spirit King smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that. The spotted white foals are powerful, but they can't store energy indefinitely. Even if they haven't fought for a long time, there is a limit to how much energy they can store. It won't accumulate endlessly."
When Liu Yan heard this, he felt it made sense but still found it a bit unreliable.
After all, no one knew the exact limit, and blindly trying it out seemed impractical. Liu Yan's time was precious. He couldn't afford to waste it on various experiments.
The Withered Tree Spirit King continued, "Besides the first point, there is another very important aspect. According to my observations today, I found that the group skill is indeed very special. It can attack and defend, and the most crucial point is that it can recover energy."
"During today's battle, aside from your attacks, the spotted white foals didn't expend much energy when using that mysterious group skill for defense. The energy was scattered and then re-collected by the spotted white foals, which allowed them to repeatedly use their powerful group skill."
When Liu Yan heard this, he was a bit surprised to learn of this detail.
Upon further thought, it seemed plausible.
During the daytime battle, Liu Yan was under a lot of pressure dealing with the mysterious group skill, White Net, from the spotted white foals.
Additionally, he had to keep an eye on the battle between the special red enchanted puppet and the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf, which caused him to be distracted and not observe closely.
After the mysterious group skill, White Net was used, the energy dispersed.
Liu Yan did not observe the situation after it dispersed, but the Withered Tree Spirit King did. After dispersing, the energy did not continue to spread like other normal skills. Instead, it landed on the ground and was reformed by the spotted white foals.
This meant that during the daytime battle, although it appeared that the spotted white foals used the mysterious group skill, White Net multiple times, they had only truly used it once and employed it twice.
Only during Liu Yan's attack did the skill genuinely expend energy.
At other times, when the mysterious group skill was used to attack Liu Yan but missed, it did
not consume any energy.
"I see!" Liu Yan exclaimed.
Understanding the situation, Liu Yan quickly devised a solution.
As long as a few direct attacks exhausted the special energy of the spotted white foals' herd and depleted the energy of the mysterious group skill White Net, it would have been easy to deal with the spotted white foals' herd.
Although he didn't know how many times it would take to deplete the energy, given the spotted white foals' power, he didn't think they could store too much. It wouldn't require too
many attempts to use it all up.
The strategy for dealing with the spotted white foals became clear.
The key to this was certainly the Withered Tree Spirit King's rich experience and observation,
for which Liu Yan felt grateful.
"Having an elder at home is like having a treasure!" Liu Yan said gratefully to the Withered
Tree Spirit King.
The Withered Tree Spirit King smiled and replied, "It's only right for me to help you. After all, you've brought many experiences and demonstrated your frighteningly rapid growth. I believe you'll be able to observe such things in the future."
At this moment, the sky gradually brightened.
The darkness dissipated, and the fog returned to its white state.
During the day, Liu Yan's perception range increased from a few hundred meters to a
thousand meters.
Liu Yan looked in a certain direction with a cold gaze. There was a group of spotted white
foals!
