Under the indication of Li Pu, the straw man raised its wristwatch.

[Beep]

The complete data of one of the bipedal catfish was displayed.

[Bipedal Catfish]: 0 Turn LV8

Chasing the Wind, 6 Water 4 Earth, E

[Slick and Slippery (E)]: The bipedal catfish can produce a slippery liquid on its surface

[Sticky Sticky Sticky (E)]: The bipedal catfish can spray a viscous liquid

An LV8 level, in the Southern Forest, is almost the highest ranking in the group.

Only slightly weaker than the Aphid Race, which averages LV10, but strictly speaking, the Aphid Race can't be considered a magical beast of the Southern Forest.

The first batch of magical beasts encountered in the East Wilderness Ridge is already at this level, indicating that this place is indeed incomparable to the Southern Forest.

[Roar Roar!]

Towards the charging bipedal catfish, the Roaring Bear took the lead and issued a threatening roar.

[Slick Slippery!]

However, the bipedal catfish weren't intimidated at all.

Thus, the Roaring Bear, being the closest, was the first to attack.

It pulled out its ritual weapon... a crudely fashioned stone guitar?

Seeing this, Li Pu had a slight feeling that something was amiss.

The Roaring Bear extended its large paw and strummed the guitar strings.

Thrum thrum thrumm~♫!!!

The discordant tones radiated from the stone guitar.

[Ugly Sounding!]

The five bipedal catfish at the forefront immediately froze, as if struck by something invisible, and fell down with miserable cries.

Li Pu: "..."

Li Pu: "..."

Li Pu: "..."

Speechless, Li Pu was completely speechless.

Is this the sound wave attack that Chang Shoushang mentioned?

This summoned beast was originally called the Roaring Bear, and he had thought it might have something akin to the Lion's Roar Skill.

But the result? A clumsy bear playing the guitar??

However, to be fair, the Roaring Bear's attack was quite powerful.

The few bipedal catfish hit by the sound waves were convulsing on the ground, looking as if they couldn't get up in the short term even if they weren't about to die immediately.

At this time, the other summoned beasts weren't idle either. The next to take action was the Eggshell Beast.

[Shell Shell!]

It cried out and lay down.

"Oh."

Influenced by the Roaring Bear, Li Pu was not too surprised.

[Shell Shell Shell Shell!]

Then, the Eggshell Beast spat out an electric net.

The continuous blue-white electric net hovered in mid-air but did not attack the magical beasts.

[Zap!]

Just as Li Pu was puzzled, he saw the Thorn Mouse shoot out a wave of golden thorns.

The golden thorns shot out in a parabola, passing through the Eggshell Beast's blue-white electric net, and then they transformed.

Not exactly transformed, accurately speaking, they were imbued with electric arcs.

The branch-like electric arcs gathered at the tail of the golden thorns, making them look like arrows with lightning tails.

The original attack area of a single golden thorn was quite small.

Hitting a large individual would be easy.

But facing the dispersedly positioned bipedal catfish, it would be easy to miss.

However, with the electric arcs attached, the attack area of the golden thorns significantly increased.

Even if the golden thorns missed the bipedal catfish, the electric arcs could still easily scratch them.

Thus, with this wave of golden thorns, another seven or eight bipedal catfish fell, some directly hit, some paralyzed by the electricity.

"So summoned beasts can cooperate like this."

Li Pu had to admit, he truly learned something today.

Though it was just a simple small combination skill, it was still the first time he saw summoned beasts cooperate.

"No wonder they dare to attack such a large group of magical beasts."

"This long-range attack wave has already taken out nearly a third of them."

Chang Shoushang felt even more shocked.

This kind of near-instantaneous mass ranged attack wasn't common in their second-year team, let alone the fact that only three summoned beasts had taken action so far.

But there were still 20 to nearly 30 bipedal catfish left, and the time the ranged attack took allowed them to really close in.

Up next was close-quarters combat.

Smack!

The Roaring Bear, stationed at the forefront, was the first to make a move, swinging its stone guitar at a catfish's head.

The Shovel Beak Goose, positioned a bit further back, was not to be outdone, waving its shovel-like large mouth.

Any bipedal catfish that got close was all smashed away by it.

The Thorn Mouse, perched atop the Eggshell Beast's head, employed a kite-flying tactic.

The lightning attacks had a paralyzing effect, so although the Eggshell Beast wasn't fast, it wouldn't be caught.

Besides, there was a dark, straw-like humanoid summoned beast akin to the straw man present.

However, it was smaller, with less frontal combat capability, mainly attacking using flying silk methods.

Seeing the appearance of this Black Silk Summoned Beast, Li Pu felt a chill.

It turned out that Chang Shilian, who originally had waist-length hair, only had ear-length hair; the extra part was actually her Black Silk Summoned Beast masquerading.

The summoned beasts were fighting heroically, and the senior students weren't lacking.

Hang Xing and Chang Shilian maintained a distance, occasionally using summoner's offensive skills to assist.

If any bipedal catfish approached to attack, they'd immediately use [Flash] to pull away.

But Li Pu admired Senior Jiang's combat style the most as she wielded a long blade, activating [Sprint] to weave in and out of the magical beast mob.

Disregarding the extent of her impact on the battle, compared to assisting from the rear, Jiang Guiju preferred the hand-to-hand melee style of charging ahead.

This combat style had become her habit for a long time.

The only slight regret Li Pu had was that Senior Jiang, with her clever body technique, dodged every attack from the bipedal catfish.

If he were in her shoes, he'd choose to confront the attacks head-on.

Perhaps they were too engaged in the fight, for the seniors forgot their promise to leave two magical beasts for the juniors to handle, and eventually, they spent some time exterminating the entire batch of bipedal catfish.

A successful first battle would have been a good thing, but as soon as the melee ended, Chang Shilian reverted to her previous exhausted state.

Yet, she didn't forget to take care of her cousin, pointing at the magical beast corpses on the ground.

Chang Shoushang's Bite Flower would eat anything, no picky eating, so the magical beasts he direscribed them as game he could take.

Jiang Guiju and Hang Xing shared similar sentiments.

The magical beasts from East Wilderness Ridge weren't that attractive to third-years.

Moreover, the bipedal catfish were not that valuable.

Hang Xing: "Sorry, I forgot to save you two just now."

Jiang Guiju: "You guys come and see if there are any materials you want to collect."

Li Pu and Chang Shoushang exchanged a glance, not expecting such a favorable turn of events.
