Early the next morning, Li Pu took Caocao and Bubbu to the East Gate.

Facing the obstruction from the Gatekeeper old lady, he pulled out the paperwork he had prepared overnight.

Although called paperwork, it was actually just a piece of paper.

On it was his application for the East Gate, with Li Fan's endorsement signature.

After being granted passage, Li Pu didn't leave immediately.

Instead, he had Caocao try to offer the earthworm skin it found yesterday as a gift to the tower eagle.

Because he thought earthworm = bug, tower eagle = bird.

It's known that bug skin = part of a bug, and birds love to eat bugs.

So = tower eagle loves to eat bug skin.

The result was, Caocao almost got slapped to death by a claw.

If it weren't for the fact that Caocao scratched its itch yesterday, the claw would have really come down.

Imagine, as the dignified guardian beast of the East Gate, when had it ever been humiliated with a piece of earthworm skin, not by a person, but by grass.

However, to be fair, that earthworm skin was indeed a bit fragrant, being a feed type.

So the final result was that the tower eagle confiscated that earthworm skin and then forced (?) Caocao to come and massage it for at least an hour every day for the next week.

Although the development of events was not exactly as Li Pu imagined, the goal was achieved.

As long as he had marked the tower eagle, there would always be opportunities to pluck its feathers in the future.

...

An hour later, Li Pu hid with the summoned beast behind a large rock cover.

"I've been searching for ages; it's really not easy."

Eyeing a certain lone magical beast over there, he murmured in admiration.

The primary target in East Wilderness Ridge is undoubtedly the dark cloud wolf pack.

But for Bubbu's first battle, Li Pu still wanted to pick a single target.

So on this journey, they kept searching for traces of lone magical beasts, circumventing whenever there was any sign of group magical beasts.

Inadvertently, they had ventured deep into East Wilderness Ridge and discovered such a perfect target by accident.

Their target now being eyed by Li Pu and the others was a mushroom person.

Yes, even in the harsh environment of East Wilderness Ridge, there are mushroom-type magical beasts.

This made Li Pu marvel at the adaptation prowess of this species.

However, this mushroom person's size was uncommon, quite large.

It was slightly larger than the rock they hid behind, which had a diameter of over 2 meters.

Contrary to the well-nourished mushroom people of the Southern Forest, its shape did look plump, but its skin was wrinkled from the cap to the body.

The color was not vibrant, a dull yellowish-brown.

Many magical beasts in East Wilderness Ridge share this primary color, possibly a camouflage evolution.

Earlier, Caocao had explored using the wristwatch, this fellow wasn't considered strong.

[Sandshroom]: 0 transformation, LV15

Balanced, 6 sand 4 wood, E

[Sandsand]: Controls yellow sand, causing obstructions for the target

To what degree the yellow sand can be controlled, Li Pu wasn't very clear on.

But he could confirm that although East Wilderness Ridge was desolate, it hadn't reached the level of desertification.

So this Sandshroom was not to be feared.

"Alright, let's plan the tactic next."

He signaled Caocao and Bubbu to draw closer and lowered his voice.

The main aim of this operation was for Bubbu to get familiar with fighting, also serving as an evaluation test.

Caocao, therefore, was responsible for drawing Sandshroom's attention, using a strategy primarily of taunt and defense.

Whereas Bubbu was to serve as the main attacker, performing ranged assaults.

Though it was LV1 against LV15, since they were both 0 transformation, relying on its rank advantage, Bubbu wasn't completely ineffective against that mushroom.

[Grass?]

Caocao: So what is the Summoner responsible for?

"Me? Of course, I am in charge of leading."

[Grass!]

Caocao: That's not fair, grass.

"What's unfair?"

Li Pu glanced at Caocao, spread his hands, and said, "If that's the case, let's decide by vote."

He was a very democratic Summoner.

Never forcing the summoned beasts to do things they didn't want to do.

[Caocao!]

Caocao: Oppose grass exploitation, the Summoner should personally act first!

[Nibble~]

Bubbu: Radishes are so shiny~

Li Pu said: "Hmm, very well, one abstention, one opposition, ten approvals, so the plan is passed."

[Grass!]

Caocao swung its grass fist in anguish.

What a pity, just a bit more and it would've made it!

After deciding the tactic, Caocao charged ahead to draw Sandshroom's attention.

Actually, Li Pu wasn't entirely uninvolved; his main task was guarding Bubbu from encountering any danger.

[Shoogshooom!]

Magical beasts that can survive in East Wilderness Ridge essentially had heightened awareness; seeing an enemy charging over, Sandshroom's first reaction was to engage in battle.

With its roar, a stream of yellow sand sprayed out from its mouth.

Perhaps there wasn't much sand in East Wilderness Ridge, but it contained some within its body.

Unlike the mushroom people of the Southern Forest, Sandshroom's main food source was soil and rocks.

After digestion, these soils and rocks converted into sandy forms.

What Li Pu and the others didn't know was, what was coming from Sandshroom's mouth actually was its...

[Grass woo!]

Caocao got a face full of yellow sand, its hollow eyes and mouth were filled up, causing it to cover its face.

"Now's the time."

Seeing both sides engaging, Li Pu issued a directive to Bubbu.

[Nibble-nibble-nibble!]

Holding a radish in its mouth, Bubbu expressed understanding, its short arms immediately reaching into the pouch.

Then, the [Use All Force] light orb was pulled out.

Shoo!

A parabolic trajectory arced over; the light orb transformed into its blue light shadow mid-air.

Boom!

The small kangaroo silhouette kicked out forcefully, sending Caocao flying.

[Grass!]

Caocao: You biting beast, aim properly for Ben Cao!

Biting beast is its nickname for Bubbu.

Because Bubbu often nibbled its own head.

[Nibble mistake~]

Sensing Caocao's mood, Bubbu expressed apology.

Simultaneously, it reached both hands into its pouch.

Two light orbs were pulled out.

Shoo! x2

[Grass!]

As a result, one kangaroo kick hit Caocao again, and the other kicked into the air.

"Your accuracy is a bit concerning…"

Seeing this, even Li Pu found it hard to watch.

[Nibble!]

Evidently, Bubbu was also unsatisfied with this result, it quickly pulled out two more light orbs.

Shoo! x2

And just before the orbs cast hadn't landed, it already kept pulling more.

Shoo! x2 Shoo! x2

Shoo! x2 Shoo! x2

A pile of light orbs directly bombarded Sandshroom.

Low accuracy?

Just toss more times!

Besides, it was feeling energetic throughout because for every two light orbs thrown, it triggered [Energy Feedback].

Energy was not reduced at all, totally full.

"Uh..."

Even Li Pu didn't foresee such a scene.

Originally, he thought [Energy Feedback] would only turn Bubbu into a magic machine gun; unexpectedly now, it directly became a magic bomber?
