[Swoosh! Swoosh!]

The small tree person didn't expect this situation to happen and quickly shouted while shaking those vines.

Unexpectedly, with that intervention, the vines really stopped.

But they still wrapped tightly around Li Pu's feet without loosening, as if afraid he would run away.

The jade leaf Li Pu had wanted to inspect earlier had now fallen beyond his reach.

"Don't be afraid, Brother Limp, Boss Tiger is kind and won't harm you."

"It usually likes to sleep, not sure why it suddenly woke up."

Only at this point did the small tree person have time to write a few lines for explanation.

"..."

Li Pu could only be speechless.

Come to think of it, it made sense, just like someone being woken up by having a hair pulled while sleeping, wouldn't they wake up?

And since the other party is a magical beast, it might not harm the small tree person.

But whether it would harm him was still uncertain.

For now, there was nothing he could do as the vines were tightly bound around him, making it impossible to escape.

So Li Pu could only watch as more vines stretched out from the cracks in the stone wall.

[Roar...]

The beast-like low growl continued, and the numerous vines began to present a different scene before Li Pu.

They intertwined with each other, gradually weaving into a concrete mass.

This vine cluster was larger than a locomotive, and as it took shape, it began to tighten and integrate, outlining various details.

When it finally solidified, a lifelike tiger head appeared.

At this moment, the tiger's head showed no trace of the vines, resembling a jade carving.

However, its rolling eyeballs and the rise and fall of its breath indicated it was not an artwork but a living creature.

"What is this thing..."

Faced with this jade tiger head, Li Pu found his breathing somewhat heavy.

He didn't know why his breathing was heavy; actually, this was the oppressive aura a powerful magical beast emanated.

At Li Pu's current level, he couldn't actively sense such oppressive auras.

But when the real deal appeared so close, he couldn't remain unaffected.

[Roar!]

Just a glance from the jade tiger head made Li Pu feel the pressure intensify.

This experience seemed a bit similar to when he faced the Godzilla scale spines at the Breaking Formation Hall.

But the difference was that the pressure from the Godzilla scale spines was bearable, as they were dead.

While the pressure from this jade tiger head was alive and continuous.

Thankfully, the other party quickly retracted its aura and looked at the small tree person.

[Swoosh!]

The small tree person happily waved at it.

The next second, the jade tiger head extended its tongue and affectionately (?) licked it.

Although the jade hooks on the tiger's tongue didn't truly harm the small tree person, they plucked away about eighty to ninety percent of the tea leaves on its crown.

[Swoosh!]

Now, the small tree person was a bit upset, expressing dissatisfaction by shouting.

The current situation was different from before; it now understood the value of its leaves.

These leaves were meant to be exchanged for living expenses with that pretty sister.

With so many leaves taken by Boss Tiger, it would have to survive on Brother Pluck's cola for a long time.

[Roar Roar]

Yet the jade tiger head didn't care about the small tree person's protests; instead, it seemed very satisfied with the taste of the leaves, chewing them a few times before swallowing them.

[Swoosh Swoosh!]

Being ignored, the small tree person unhappily used its branch-hands to pound on the other party.

Seeing how harmoniously they interacted, Li Pu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It appeared that the jade tiger head genuinely had no malicious intent.

[Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh! Swoosh Swoosh!]

At this point, the small tree person remembered the current situation, tugged at the jade tiger head's whiskers, and pointed at Li Pu.

[Roar...]

The jade tiger head finally looked at Li Pu again, then controlled the vines to release him and slowly retreated.

"Brother Limp, let me introduce you."

"This is the boss who backs Chacha, the Climbing Wall Vine."

The small tree person wrote to make the introduction.

"..."

Hearing this name, Li Pu was at a loss for words.

Do you really think I haven't read many books?

Climbing Wall Vine, does it really mean that?

But now, he was more concerned about the leaf that had fallen to the ground, which he didn't have time to inspect amidst the chaos.

"Brother Limp, Boss Tiger's leaves are surely worth money!"

Unexpectedly, the small tree person was quicker and took the initiative to pick it up and handed it to Li Pu.

It quickly realized that if the other person took its leaves, then taking the other person's leaves would be fair play.

This way, it wouldn't have to survive on just cola.

[Roar Roar!]

The jade tiger head seemed a bit annoyed by this, considering it wasn't easy for it to grow a single leaf (?). It took several days.

However, realizing it was at fault, it tacitly allowed it.

Li Pu took the jade leaf; his first thought was certainly not to sell it but to gather information about the related entity.

But upon receiving it, he couldn't help but be slightly shocked.

[LV1-Jade Iron Vine (A+)]10/100

Active Effect: Greatly enhances own vine's tenacity

Attribute Requirement: 10 Wood

Type Requirement: Wind Listener/Balanced

Species Requirement: Vine

The level of this entity was astonishingly high!

This indicated that the jade tiger head before him was at least an A+ level magical beast?!

Realizing this left Li Pu stunned.

It seemed like this was the highest level living summon/magical beast he had ever encountered firsthand!

Unfortunately, the straw man wasn't here; otherwise, he'd surely want to measure the rebirth count and level of this giant creature.

Even without a watch, Li Pu could guess that its strength was undoubtedly high.

Just two vines were enough to render him powerless, so how could it be weak?

However, amidst his shock, Li Pu's mind quickly began to think.

A magical beast this powerful hidden in the southern forest, could the school really be unaware or just ignore it?

In comparison, he believed that the collective strength of the school's teachers should be stronger than this magical beast before him.

Now it was clear that the small tree person had frequent contact with this Climbing Wall Vine while living in the southern forest, which was why they got along so well.

Since the principal would occasionally check on it, it indicated that the school most likely knew about the existence of this Climbing Wall Vine.

This meant that they hadn't dealt with it because it didn't pose any harm to the students' and teachers' safety or property.

Understanding this point, Li Pu felt more at ease.

Then he started pondering that one leaf equaled 1/10 of the entity, so with 10 leaves...

"Can you ask if I can pick 9 more leaves?"

So, he thought for a moment and inquired with the small tree person.

[Swoosh!]

The small tree person made an OK gesture and started communicating with the Climbing Wall Vine.

[Swoosh!]

[Roar Roar!]

[Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh!]

[Roar!]
