The automatic flipping catalyst book floated by Sucrose's side. She clapped her left hand to conjure a gust of Anemo element, and her right hand to summon another gust of Anemo element.
Then, simultaneously, she clapped both hands together to create a huge gust of Anemo element, blowing away several small Pyro Slimes.
"Don't come any closer!"
Sucrose gently yelled, then used an elemental skill to summon ephemeral small Anemo Spirits up front.
In an instant, all the slimes including the two large ones were gathered together in the middle.
Seizing this chance, Nolan fired several consecutive arrows at the large Pyro slime. Plop plop plop, orange-yellow pyro liquid oozed out.
At the same time, under the Anemo force, it finally couldn't resist and exploded.

Looks like it was a bit tougher than the Hydro Slime encountered before.
The remaining large Pyro Slime was also targeted by Amber, who seized the opportunity to shoot it with several arrows in a row, while Sucrose's Anemo Elemental power broke through the small Slimes.
"Phew~ That should do it!" Even though it was easily dealt with, Amber wiped her nonexistent sweat with gloved hands. "To think that the Pyro Slimes would be attracted here, it's really unexpected."
The dropped slime condensate and slime secretions from their defeat were gathered together by Sucrose's Anemo power.
Then very easily, without having to walk around, she collected them.
Hearing Amber's words, Nolan didn't think it was that simple. It wasn't some extraordinary intuition but rather a familiar feeling.
After all, he had brushed past many Blossoms of Revelation in the original game, and they usually attracted more than just a few monsters.
But it was also possible that there were slight differences between reality and the game. Nolan thought so, but he didn't let down his guard.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, the ground trembled slightly.
Amber also noticed the anomaly, her fair face becoming serious again. Sucrose was a bit nervous. They gathered close, facing different directions in a triangle formation.
Just then, something burst out from under the ground at both ends of Nolan's side.
Crimson huge petals drooped and swayed from the top of the monsters' heads. The petal tips ignited bright yellow flames - these were floral mimic monsters, the Whopperflowers.
The crimson body meant it could absorb Pyro elements as nutrients - a Pyro Whopperflower.
"Huh?"
Watching everyone being surrounded by Whopperflowers, Sucrose stepped back slightly, feeling a bit nervous. She then accidentally bumped into the shoulders of the two behind her.
Amber spread her legs a bit in her over-knee-high boots, lowering her center of gravity. Pyro energy gathered on the arrows nocked on her Favonius Warbow.
Although the Pyro Whopperflower had high Pyro resistance, it didn't reach the immunity level of elemental lifeforms.
Just as she was about to release the arrows, two Whopperflowers simultaneously burrowed underground. Amber's eyes widened slightly. As a scout, she had rich experience in dealing with monsters.
"Everyone, move away quickly!"
Amber kicked off the ground like a little rabbit, flipping in mid-air.
Then, she landed a bit further away, her body sinking slightly, effortlessly absorbing the impact of the landing.
Nolan also realized the intentions of the Whopperflowers and directly hugged the slower Sucrose, jumping away from the spot.
"Ah, please be careful, ah."
Sucrose also had quite some adventure experience, but her movements were not as swift and agile in the end. Even though she understood Amber's intent, she was still a beat slower.
The slight shaking under the ground had already traveled up through their feet. It was already too late to exert strength now.
Just as she worried she would be knocked over, she suddenly felt a strong arm wrapped around her waist from behind, with a hand pressing against her right ribs, even causing a slight ticklish through her clothes.
Sucrose couldn't help but tighten her hands inwards. After closing her eyes, she felt her feet leave the ground.
In less than a second, Nolan had brought Sucrose away from their original position. The two floral mimic monsters, Pyro Whopperflowers, violently burst out together from below.
The two had narrowly avoided being smashed away.
He lightly landed at a distance, about to put down the girl he was hugging.
But he realized his palm was still being clamped by Sucrose's arms. The soft, smooth texture of her clothes rubbed against the front and back of his hand.
"Miss Sucrose, please relax a bit."
Nolan turned his face slightly. A few strands of her cyan-green hair brushed past his chin as he reminded her.
"Ah, sorry. I'm a bit ticklish."
Sucrose finally seemed to react, twitching her ears like an animal embarrassedly, then letting go of Nolan's hand.
[Sucrose Has Developed Good Feelings Towards You, Obtained 120 Affection Points. Current Affection Level: Lv.3 (30/300)]
Her good feelings towards Nolan, who saved her from harm, grew a bit more.
"Please leave the rest to me."
Sucrose looked towards the two Pyro Whopperflowers that emerged from the original spot. At the tips of their drooping petals, they were gathering Pyro energy, seeming to prepare to attack.
"Forbidden Creation: Type II"
She threw out a transparent flask containing an unstable large Wind Spirit.
As it shattered upon hitting the ground, the turquoise-colored large elemental being instantly appeared. It had a rhombus-shaped elemental core in the middle, with elf-like wings on either side.
As it flapped its wings, the surrounding Anemo energy violently erupted. The two Whopperflowers were swept up in it like debris in a typhoon, flying about uncontrollably.
Amber didn't miss this chance, firing an arrow infused with gathered Pyro energy.
Upon hitting the Whopperflowers, the Pyro Elemental energy dispersed due to the Anemo Elemental energy, causing the entire unstable Wind Spirit to turn flaming red.
In this way, it dealt both Anemo and Pyro damage to the Pyro Whopperflower.
Nolan wasn't idle either. His armor-piercing arrows flew as quick as teleportation, accurately striking the chaotically flying Whopperflowers. Their ultra-high tracking was completely unaffected by the turbulent winds.
As these two Whopperflower monsters were quite strong, with high physical resistance, it took nine of his arrows assisting the others to finally defeat them.

At this moment, the brief duration of the Large Wind Spirit came to an end, dissipating into the air as Anemo Elemental energy.
The two defeated Pyro Whopperflowers dropped to the ground. Nolan, Sucrose and Amber approached.
Amber placed her hands on top of the red boot cuffs that dug into her snow-white thighs right above her over-knee boots. After bending down to confirm the Whopperflowers were dead, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's all good now."
"Quick, check the quality of the nectar on them. It should be great research material for you right, Sucrose?" Nolan said looking at Sucrose beside him.
"Mm, that's right."
Perhaps because the two had become somewhat familiar as friends, Sucrose's tone became more natural when she spoke. She stared at the bodies of the Mimic plant monsters and, after a moment of contemplation, continued:
"The petals of Pyro Whopperflowers also contain traces of Pyro elements. We can perhaps use them to replace Pyro Flower stamens, taking their place to make elemental potions, mm."
After finishing, Sucrose propped her chin, lightly nodding as if confirming her statement made sense.
