[Caocao!]

Grassman: This bird, it's very strange!

At this moment, the Grassman also offered its feedback.

Originally, this flying blue firebird wasn't as simple as it seemed.

Or more accurately, it wasn't just that simple to be controlled by the Grassman.

This ball of fire is now equivalent to a manifestation of the Grassman.

It can provide vision for the Grassman, and the Grassman can even channel part of its mind through it.

For ordinary people or summoned beasts, splitting one's consciousness is a difficult and uneasy task.

But for the simple (silly and clumsy) Grassman, it's rather easy, without causing any extra trouble.

This means that aside from being used for attack, the blue firebird can also take on reconnaissance and other specialized tasks.

"It's worthy of being an A-level skill fusion, now its functionality greatly enhanced."

Li Pu was all smiles after hearing the Grassman's feedback.

Because what the blue firebird sees is equivalent to what the Grassman sees, and under telepathy, what the Grassman sees is what he sees, thus greatly enhancing his intelligence-gathering capabilities.

However, he didn't forget his initial purpose, which was to test the power of the new skill.

[Grass!]

[Grass Gee Boom!]

Then, under the Grassman's control, the blue firebird slammed into the ground not far away, transforming into shattered sparks.

Boom...

The slight tremor from the soles of the feet told Li Pu that the power of the Small Fireball had been further enhanced.

But what caught his attention more was that although there was nothing to burn on the ground, those small blue flames wouldn't extinguish.

"Is it because of the fire + ice element? It feels like the burning intensity is stronger and more lasting."

Li Pu speculated a possible explanation for the situation.

It seems like the practical combat effect still needs to be tested on some enemy, but overall it's definitely good.

Not to mention, just improving from E+ to C-level is enough to prove it's an upgrade.

Next, Li Pu collected his thoughts and headed to Li Fan's place.

The copy provided by Old Tu, he actually wanted to explore it.

But according to Old Tu, he currently lacks a bit in strength.

At the very least, it's better to wait until the Grassman reaches LV30 before attempting; otherwise, rushing in could easily lead to danger.

So after taking a detour, gaining considerable benefits on the way, Li Pu eventually returned to the starting point, needing to deal with the Aphid Race to strengthen the Grassman.

The remaining Crystal Coins are used for sacrificing related items to the Grassman.

Once Old Tu's task is completed, there's still 10,000 Crystal Coins waiting for himself, which will be used for the Grassman's learning of [Sprint], a perfect plan.

Today is rather fortunate, as Li Pu arrived at Li Fan's door when he was about to go out.

If he were 10 minutes late, he may not have encountered anyone.

Li Pu remembered his commission, so the first thing was to hand over the few collected aphid cards to Li Fan.

"..."

But Li Fan's reaction to holding the cards was a bit odd.

"Where did you collect these cards from?"

After a moment's silence, he furrowed his brows and asked Li Pu.

"The edge of the Southern Forest, big cliff..."

Li Pu had nothing to hide and explained the entire process.

"Do you know what aphids eat?"

After hearing the explanation, Li Fan first asked him a question.

So Li Pu recalled his experience over the days in the Southern Forest.

"All plants and vegetations, aphids eat them."

"But their favorites seem to be the leaves of magical beasts, and the stronger the beast, the more they attract them."

This was the habit he observed from the aphids he encountered in the Southern Forest.

"What you said is right, and when they consume leaves of magical beasts that are significantly more powerful, they could undergo mutation."

Li Fan nodded, his words implied.

These scythe aphids and hammer aphids differ from regular aphids; it's clear they've mutated.

"Have you ever heard, sometimes magical beasts also rear magical beasts?"

"Of course, their rearing method is not as refined as a summoner's cultivation."

"Strictly speaking, it's a symbiotic relationship in nature."

"A typical example is like the crocodile and the crocodile bird."

Li Fan's cited example is something Li Pu was familiar with.

These two species originally had nothing to do with each other, yet through symbiosis, they lived closely together.

Crocodile birds can find food in the gaps of the crocodile's teeth, providing mouth-cleaning services and pecking parasitic leeches from them.

Thus, crocodiles would willingly open their mouths welcoming crocodile birds, not eating them.

Additionally, when crocodiles rested, crocodile birds would stand guard nearby, noisily taking flight upon noticing danger approaching, alerting sleeping crocodiles to evade danger.

"Certain plant beasts sometimes allow aphids to consume their withered or diseased branches, achieving a cleaning effect."

"Simultaneously, the presence of aphids helps them clear surrounding other plants, ensuring they monopolize nearby soil nutrients."

"Of course, powerful strength is needed to command these numerous aphid races."

"Otherwise, one will easily become their food, entirely succumbing to them."

Upon hearing Li Fan speak, Li Pu seemed to understand: "So, sir, are you implying that a highly powerful plant beast might exist near the big cliff?"

"That's right."

Li Fan nodded, his eyes surveying Li Pu's body repeatedly until it made him uneasy: "Perhaps you've already walked past the gates of hell without knowing it."

In fact, this was a mere jest.

As Li Fan roughly knew what powerful plant beast he was referring to.

This was something the principal mentioned when he first joined.

But he didn't intend to inform Li Pu, as it was a secret not widely known.

"Rest assured, if such a potential threat exists near student activity areas, the school would not remain indifferent."

Seeing Li Pu's serious expression, Li Fan knew he achieved his aim.

Maintaining constant alertness in the wild is something a competent summoner should possess. He considered it a small lesson for the student.

Then he continued.

"As for your idea about clearing those aphids."

"I fully support it; right now you're at the stage requiring a lot of practice."

"Whether it's you or your grassman rummaging through my fridge."

"I actually have ways to help."

"However..."
