A new piece of information appeared in Chen Bugu's mind.
"Skill: Fireball."
"Description: Roll a Fireball, then throw it out~"
"Usage: Crush me! Yes, right now."
"Usage Restriction: Unlimited."
After Chen Bugu activated Decipher, the skill ball's usage restriction was removed.
As early as the moment he first got the skill ball, Chen Bugu had thought about whether there was a possibility of Deciphering it.
However, since his mental power had not yet recovered at that time, he did not try.
"Pop..."
The skill ball was crushed, transforming into streaks of light that merged into Chen Bugu's body.
"Fireball: Roll a Fireball, then throw it out~"
Without time to experience it, Chen Bugu quickly nocked an arrow.
At this moment, Yan Kuan had already fallen to the ground, his mental power exhausted, and he had fainted again.
The Scarlet Hound, now unrestrained, was rapidly charging towards Chen Bugu again.
The moment Chen Bugu raised the Lianxin Crossbow to aim, the Crossbow's arrowhead instantly glowed red, followed by a flame Igniting at the arrowhead.
Enchantment complete!
Chen Bugu decisively pulled the trigger.
An arrow shot out, accurately hitting the Scarlet Hound's front right leg.
The instant the Crossbow hit, a flame suddenly erupted from inside the monster's front right leg, instantly burning it.
"Ow~"
The Scarlet Hound finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.
Its front right leg was completely burned, and the wound on its abdomen was still continuously bleeding.
Seeing it struggle a few times but still unable to stand up.
Chen Bugu then slowly walked a few steps forward, while stringing the last Crossbow.
When he got closer, he found that the wound on the monster's abdomen had been torn wider due to the intense battle just now, and its intestines were faintly visible.
"Xiao Xiao, Teacher Lin, come over here!"
Chen Bugu saw that Bai Ting's side was temporarily fine, and Lin Lin had gone to check on Wang Bin's condition, so he quickly shouted to Lin Xiaoxiao and Lin Ye.
Lin Xiaoxiao slowly walked over from not far away; because she had no mental power, she could only worry from the side just now and couldn't help at all.
"Who wants to finish it off with the last arrow?"
Chen Bugu handed out the Lianxin Crossbow, which had the last Crossbow already installed, and looked at the two.
Lin Ye shook his head, he gave this arrow to Lin Xiaoxiao, and turned to walk towards the Unicorn Rock Sheep.
The Unicorn Rock Sheep was now lying quietly on the ground, its breath weak, and its eyes dim.
Lin Ye stepped forward and gently stroked it, feeling distressed.
Because of the Sheep Attribute, he could feel the emotions of his summoned beast.
At the last moment, the Unicorn Rock Sheep's emotions were only left with fear of death, which also infected Lin Ye.
Whether it was the Snow Mystic Antelope before, or the Unicorn Rock Sheep now, their deaths made Lin Ye feel sad.
Chen Bugu looked at Lin Ye, knowing this was the effect of summon-type abilities.
All Awakeneds with summon-type abilities would have a strange emotional bond and telepathy with their summoned beasts.
Summon-type Awakeneds are powerful in the later stages precisely because of this.
After all, a powerful summon-type Awakened is an army by himself.
And a general who cares for his soldiers will always be more easily loved by them, which also applies to summon-type Awakeneds.
The last time he saw Teacher Lin in his previous life was when he left the Starting Forest.
At that time, he could already summon three Black Iron intermediate Sheep Family demonic beasts simultaneously.
As Chen Bugu looked at Lin Ye, Lin Xiaoxiao finally shot the last arrow into the Scarlet Hound's head.
The already heavily wounded Scarlet Hound turned into ashes and disappeared.
The floating energy transformed into five clusters, drifting towards Lin Ye, Wang Bin, Yan Kuan, Chen Bugu, and Lin Xiaoxiao respectively.
Lin Xiaoxiao trembled all over, frozen in place.
Chen Bugu knew that she had also leveled up.
In this way, the members of the team who had completed their first breakthrough and upgrade were: Chen Bugu, Bai Ting, and Lin Xiaoxiao.
"There's one last one."
Chen Bugu walked while picking up the arrows on the ground.
"My mental power hasn't recovered yet, I'm afraid I can't control it."
"It's okay, I'll do it."
Chen Bugu glanced; using Decipher to remove the skill ball's restriction used 10 points of mental power, and the previous enchantment also consumed 3 points of mental power.
With his remaining mental power, he could still shoot at least two enchanted arrows.
That should be enough.
Bai Ting was gradually becoming somewhat disheveled at this moment, because the Scarlet Hound he was fighting was slowly recovering from its paralyzed state, its speed subtly increasing, and he couldn't counterattack recklessly because he had to conserve mental power.
"Bai Ting, hold him off, I'll help you!"
Chen Bugu raised his Crossbow and aimed.
Although the previous battle was intense, it actually didn't last long; with their current combat power, they simply weren't qualified to fight a prolonged battle with the Scarlet Hound.
So, although it was risky, fortunately, the battles all ended in a short time.
"Lianxin" was still on cooldown, so Chen Bugu could only perform flame enchantment at this moment.
Both Bai Ting and the Scarlet Hound were very fast, and Chen Bugu's hands holding the Crossbow moved with them.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow pierced the air, accurately striking the Scarlet Hound.
Flames ignited instantly.
The monster howled in pain, its body freezing.
Bai Ting seized the opportunity, and several streaks of electricity shot out in succession, attacking the monster's back.
...
Thirty seconds later, when Chen Bugu's other arrow Ignited one of the Scarlet Hound's hind legs, it already signaled the end of the battle.
When the last Scarlet Hound turned into ashes, Chen Bugu slumped to the ground.
It's over!
Bai Ting was also somewhat disheveled at this moment, his pure white suit jacket stained with dust.
He casually patted his suit, looking at the others.
Liu Shifu was lying on the ground unconscious.
Wang Bin's chest was lacerated, a huge bloody mark extending diagonally downwards from his chest all the way to his thigh, and he was also still unconscious.
And Yan Kuan had fainted again due to mental power exhaustion.
The battle was truly tragic enough.
Lin Ye, following Lin Lin's instructions, dragged Wang Bin next to Liu Shifu.
Having the two injured people together made it easier for her to treat them.
Chen Bugu and Lin Xiaoxiao were not injured, but they were both slumped on the ground, their faces weary.
Although this battle was won, they also paid a huge price.
Chen Bugu wasn't sure how strong Lin Lin's Holy Light healing ability was, after all, healing-type abilities are rare among all magic types.
Some healing-type abilities are more inclined to dispel negative statuses, while others focus on healing.
Generally, healing-type abilities that have negative effect dispelling mostly only provide emergency healing, and are helpless when encountering serious injuries.
If he remembered correctly, Lin Lin's Holy Light had a calming effect, so Chen Bugu had no idea how good her healing ability truly was.
Wang Bin didn't need to worry. The Scarlet Hound's tail was not its primary attack method, and its lethality was limited.
Although he was hit head-on by the Scarlet Hound's tail and looked lacerated, he should not be in mortal danger.
On the contrary, Liu Shifu was sent flying by a full-speed charging Scarlet Hound head-on; he looked fine on the surface, but he might have internal organ damage and might not make it.
"How is Liu Shifu?"
Lin Xiaoxiao stepped forward and asked Lin Lin.
Liu Shifu was hit by the Scarlet Hound because he saved her; if it weren't for Liu Shifu, she would probably be the one lying on the ground unconscious now.
"Liu Shifu broke three ribs, but I have already restored them with Holy Light. He is out of danger and will wake up after resting for a while, so don't worry."
Lin Lin was covered in sweat, and her face was also somewhat pale; it was evident that she had been treating Liu Shifu since earlier, and her mental power must have been almost exhausted.
"That's good."
Lin Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief; if Liu Shifu died, she really wouldn't know how to face herself.
Lin Lin's words were a reassurance for Lin Xiaoxiao, but for Chen Bugu, they were no less than a bombshell.
Three broken ribs?
Restored?
How many minutes was that?
Chen Bugu suddenly realized that Lin Lin's Holy Light might have been greatly underestimated by him.
This kind of healing effect, also with "calming," as long as Lin Lin has enough mental power, she can completely ensure that others can fight with all their might without worries.
When he looked at Lin Lin again, Chen Bugu's eyes were burning, and only eight words came to his mind.
Mobile fountain! Top-tier healer!
