198. Blue and Dodak’s Aerial Battle

Helper, can you see my leaves well?

Dodaki asked, moving his leaves.

It was a movement reminiscent of the wings of a fairy from Cheondoun.

“Yeah. It seems like you grew up well.”

Cheon Do-woon bowed down in front of Dodak. Dodak, who saw that, jumped up and turned around.

It was to properly show the back where the leaves had grown.

-Whew!

Do you see well, helper? Dodaki glanced back.

The assistant is carefully examining his back. Dodak, who saw this, raised his special move, the crow’s foot.

-Ouch, oh yeah!

He grew two centimeters taller. This was a consideration so that you could see his wings in detail.

“Yeah, it looks good. It’s great.”

Cheon Do-woon laughed.

I don’t know what was so great about it, but I gave it some praise.

Cheon Do-woon lifted the dodakki. Kim Na-ri, who had been watching from the side, approached him as if she found it strange.

“Sir, the leaves on the dandelion suddenly grew. Why is that?”

“If you look at the situation, it must have something to do with that white swamp.”

The change in Dodak occurred after he dipped his feet into the swamp. Does the swamp promote plant growth?

I don’t know. There are too few examples to know.

The moment he thought that, the grass root that was on Kim Na-ri’s back popped its head out.

-Phew?

The grassroots looked at the dodak with wavering eyes. Those eyes were filled with longing.

Dodak, who was full of dignity from the first time we met.

As mysterious leaves grew on its back, a halo appeared.

-Phew, phew!

I want to be like that too. The grass roots saw a white swamp.

I wonder if I’ll become cool if I step foot in there too. Things won’t change just by thinking about it. Now is the time to take action.

The grass roots jumped off Kim Na-ri’s back.

Dodak imitated him and sat down in front of the swamp. He dipped both feet into the swamp.

At that moment, the swamp clung to my feet and wrapped itself around them.

-Phew?

What is this? Something is being sucked out of my body. That white swamp is sucking me in.

The grass roots trembled. The vines growing overhead swayed.

“Look at that, sir. There is change even at the grassroots level!”

A flower bud has emerged on the vine stem.

Hug. A flower has bloomed.

Hugs, hugs. Two more flowers bloomed.

A total of three flowers. The root grew three red flowers.

“Hey, the flower has grown!”

“Yes. The flower has grown.”

“Three pine trees. Three pine trees have grown!”

Just three flowers. They are insignificant compared to the flowers of the vines in the forest area.

But that alone was enough to startle the grassroots.

The grassroots ran to the toad. They showed off their own stems from which flowers had grown.

-Phew!

The grassroots reported to Dodak that the flowers had bloomed. With a trembling heart, they waited for Dodak’s judgment.

Dodaki looked at the flowers growing on the stem with a solemn face.

Although Dodak was small in size, the aura he gave off was overwhelming.

-Okay, okay.

This flower has wonderful color.

Dodaki touched the flower petals with the base of his arm.

The flower petals are also fresh.

I sniffed and smelled the scent. A sweet scent rose faintly.

-Whew!

This is a flower filled with excellence. Dodaki nodded with a serious face.

The grassroots looked at Dodak with a nervous face.

-Phueng, pueng?

-Ugh.

-Phew… Phew!

The grassroots looked moved. Dodaki nodded again.

“Oh! Sir. Dodak has acknowledged the growth of the grassroots!”

“Okay. You admitted it.”

“The grassroots look happy.”

“That’s right. You look happy. Seeing you enjoying it so much, I guess you admire Dodak.”

Cheon Do-woon and Kim Na-ri were talking as usual.

Seok Woo-hyuk, who was watching from the side, had a complicated expression on his face.

The grassroots just responded and responded. How could such a meaningful conversation have taken place within them?

‘The world of plants is profound.’

Those two who understood that also seemed profound. Seok Woo-hyuk was secretly impressed.

“Sir, when Dodak put his feet in that white swamp, fruit grew. Leaves grew. The roots grew flowers. Is that swamp a nutrient for plants?”

“That can’t be it.”

Cheon Do-woon said with confidence.

The last time it happened so suddenly that I didn’t notice it. But this time it was different.

Since I saw Dodaki’s change first, I scanned it with Mana when Grassroots got its feet wet and observed the changes.

“That swamp doesn’t provide nutrients. Instead, it absorbs the opponent’s energy.”

“Huh, absorption?”

“Yes. Instead, the only things it absorbed were impure energies. It only extracted bad energy.”

“Oh?”

“That swamp seems to feed on bad energy.”

That was also the reason why Dodak suddenly started bearing fruit.

As the bad energy accumulated in my body was sucked out in an instant, clear energy overflowed.

In that sudden situation, the power was uncontrollable and erupted in the form of fruit.

In other words, it is not by one’s own will that the fruit is borne.

That was the reason why the mandragora, which did not bear fruit in front of others, suddenly produced fruit.

“Then why didn’t anything change when you put your hand in it?”

“I had a mana wall wrapped around my hand.”

I protected my hands with mana to prepare for the hydrochloric acid that might spurt out from the swamp.

There was no change as the mana wall could not be broken through.

A swamp that devours bad energy.

This causes only clear energy to remain in the body.

‘That’s probably not all. He must have breathed something into my body before sucking out the impure energy.’

Perhaps a temporary paralyzing toxin that renders the prey unable to move.

Even that poison had a good effect on the opponent.

Cheon Do-woon saw the grass roots.

Grassroots had bruises all over his body from being attacked by a white tiger. His legs were also slightly limping.

Because of that, Kim Na-ri had to carry him around, but now he was standing up fine. The bruises on his body were gone.

‘Is there an ingredient in the swamp’s paralyzing venom that increases the body’s regenerative cycle?’

If this hypothesis is correct, then there is a high possibility that this is the swamp that Gu-u was looking for.

“Sir, are you bringing Gu-woo now?”

“That’s right.”

Cheon Do-un released the force that was directly pressing on the swamp.

Instead, a mana wall was built around the area to prevent them from going far.

“I’m going to pick up Gu-woo. What do you want to do, Kim Na-ri?”

“I… well, I’ll wait on the island. There’s a lot to draw on this island.”

Kim Na-ri thought for a moment and then answered. Cheon Do-woon laughed at that.

The child who used to only follow around developed a hobby. That hobby gave the child independence.

Kim Na-ri in painter mode gained +5 independence.

“Okay. Then go to the beach house with Seok Woo-hyuk.”

“I get it.”

Kim Na-ri went down the mountain with Seok Woo-hyeok.

Cheon Do-woon, left alone, raised his arm and gestured.

Blue, who was watching nearby, saw the signal and flew over to land.

‘As expected, birds have good eyesight.’

Even though it was only a few meters away, it recognized the signal like a ghost and approached.

Cheon Do-woon climbed on top of Blue with a smile.

“Let’s go to the forest house.”

Cheon Do-woon gave a signal by tapping his neck twice.

Blue, who had become Cheon Do-un’s personal shuttle, flew up quickly.

* * *

Blue left the island to go to the forest area.

Cheon Do-woon instructed Blue to fly slowly. It was because Dodak’s eyes were unusual.

-Ugh.

Dodaki looked down every now and then to gauge his height. The leaves growing on his back fluttered ceaselessly.

The movement looked like a baby bird preparing for its first flight.

A look of anticipation appeared in Dodak’s eyes as if he had made up his mind.

‘Can you really fly?’

Cheon Do-woon looked at Dodak with an interested face.

He hung a piece of thread around his body in case of an accident.

Dodaki approached Blue’s tail. He repeatedly bent and straightened his feet as if preparing to jump.

-Whew… Yeah!

Flick. Dodak, who had been watching the timing, jumped down.

What kind of flight will Dodaki make? Cheon Do-woon looked down.

-Whew!

Dodak had both arms stretched out in front of him. It was Superman pose.

In that state, the leaves on his back flapped quickly.

Flick, flick. The leaves moved at high speed. The leaves on the head were pushed back due to the fast speed.

The Superman pose, riding the wind, felt graceful.

-Whew!

I’m flying, I’m flying! I’m flying! Dodak roared.

Cheon Do-woon stared at the dodak quietly. He also looked at the thread connected to his fingers.

‘It just seems to come with a thread.’

The leaves on the tree moving at high speed were nothing more than swaying in the wind.

Of course, he didn’t say what he thought.

He smiled faintly and repeatedly pulled and released the string as if he was flying a kite.

Through this, I was able to control the flight speed of the dodogi.

-Whew!

“Is it fun?”

-Ouch, oh yeah!

The dodak rode the wind.

The body connected to the thread spun around in the wind, unable to withstand it.

-Ouch, oh yeah!

Helper, look at my tornado flight.

Dodaki shouted. Cheon Do-woon nodded.

“Excellent. It’s an A+ in technical score.”

Cheon Do-woon gave Dodak an A+ with a serious face.

Dodak became the first mandragora to enjoy flying after playing in water.

As he was enjoying a peaceful time, the expression on Cheon Do-woon’s face disappeared.

It’s the enemy. Something is coming.

He switched his view to the bird’s eye and identified what was chasing him.

“What a bunch of parrots.”

Dozens of parrots were chasing after me at high speed.

‘Come to think of it, the North Sea was Blue’s hometown.’

This is the territory of the group that Blue belonged to.

The ones chasing after me now were Blue’s old group.

It’s not like you’re coming to welcome Blue now. If that’s the case, then there’s only one answer.

That’s coming to attack Blue. Cheon Do-woon checked Blue’s condition.

Blue also increased his flight speed as if he sensed something.

‘I’m confused.’

Blue grew up as an outcast from the pack into which he was born.

His tail feathers were often bitten off, and he was almost eaten in the end. If Cheon Do-woon hadn’t saved him, he would have really died.

Blue, who still had that memory as a trauma, was not happy with the current situation.

-Beep, beep!

Blue’s wings were flapping in an urgent manner.

But there was no way that a blue bird without tail feathers could beat the speed of a regular parrot.

Blue was surrounded in an instant.

The parrots went back to their old ways and tried to bite Blue’s tail.

But he stopped when he saw a swaying dot near Blue’s tail.

-Beep?

What is that? Something is dangling near the tail.

I was surprised and confused at first sight, but my hesitation was short-lived.

I don’t know what it is, but let’s try it first.

A cockatoo opened its beak wide at the hawk. It flew at high speed and swooped down from above.

-Whew!

When Dodak saw that, he pulled out his roots.

There is no fear for the king, only attack.

The dodak swung its twigs at the approaching predator.

At that moment, Cheon Do-un also snapped his fingers.

The thread spread out in all directions, turning into a net. The thread cut through the tail feathers of dozens of parrots.

-Beep?

-Beep!

The parrots were terrified. When their tail feathers disappeared, they lost their balance and fell, bumping into each other.

Hasn’t something similar happened before? the birds thought as they fell into the sea.

Just before the crash, the birds’ eyes widened as they spotted Cheondoun standing on Blue’s back.

-Beep, beep!

The parrots who saw Cheon Do-un belatedly trembled.

The memory of him having his tail feathers cut flashed through his mind.

Why is the author there? If I had known the author was there, I wouldn’t have attacked him.

The tail feathers that had taken months to grow were cut off again.

I regretted picking on Blue, but it was already too late.

Splash, splash. The parrots fell into the sea one after another. The birds climbed up onto a nearby rock and looked at Blue.

-Beep!

Blue raised his head stiffly as his eyes met those of the old crowd.

It flapped its wings violently as if it had lost its spirit.

Blue flipped over as if he was flying in an acrobatic manner.

I can fly so well without tail feathers.

What do you think of your appearance, having fallen just because your tail feathers were cut off?

Blue laughed at him. He circled the air once and flew away leisurely.

The parrots, soaked in seawater and looking shabby, stared blankly at the blue.

“You won. Congratulations.”

Blue’s heart pounded at the sound of Cheon Do-woon’s soft voice.

“You’re doing so well now. If Manager Kim makes you a tail feather, you’ll be able to defeat all those guys.”

-Beep?

“When the tail feathers grow, come back and try to stick it properly. Then, it will be entirely up to you.”

Blue doesn’t know human language.

But he felt that Cheon Do-woon was encouraging him.

-Beep…!

I’m glad I met Lee Ja. What would have happened if I hadn’t met him?

I know the answer. They couldn’t hold out and were eaten by the herd.

Blue closed his eyes and opened them. The moisture that had risen dispersed and his vision cleared.

Let us remain loyal to this group from now on. Let us serve this leader for the rest of our lives.

The faithful shuttle Blue thought as he looked at the forest area that was starting to appear in the distance.

-Beep!

Blue roared.

-Whew!

Dodaki also roared.

“Everyone is so energetic.”

Cheon Do-woon laughed at the roar of the victors.
