"...Huh?"

Liu Tietie was dumbfounded upon seeing these mushroom clouds.

"What on earth is going on here?"

She stared at Wang Nuonuo in disbelief.

Could it be that lame freshman took out so many Sha Sha Mushrooms at once?

"Um..."

Wang Nuonuo was equally taken aback, not knowing what to say.

Maybe they ran into some classmates passing by who helped out?

But the odds of that happening are actually quite low.

The East Wilderness Ridge is so vast and wide, the chance of them encountering Li Pu was already a rare event.

Two rare occurrences in a row, how small could that probability be?

Actually, there was no need for them to speculate because soon enough, Li Pu's limping figure appeared in their line of sight.

One person, one grass, and one bunny, without any other helpers.

Li Pu and the scarecrow were covered with a lot of fine yellow sand, unable to shake it off.

In contrast, Bunny Bunny was clean and fresh, happily munching on a carrot as it hopped along.

Before long, they returned to Wang Nuonuo's side.

"Did you take out all those Sha Sha Mushrooms?"

Wang Nuonuo couldn't wait to ask the question.

"Mhm."

Li Pu nodded cheerfully.

He had collected enough mushroom cores and just leveled up Bunny Bunny, so he was in a good mood.

Now it's at LV4, its combat power is significantly enhanced.

However, his answer left Wang Nuonuo stunned once again.

This guy had been grappling with magical beasts before.

Now with a summoned beast, you've become even more exaggerated?

I only asked you to stall them, not to finish them off!

"Actually, when he was being vague earlier, I was starting to get suspicious."

Liu Tietie pulled Wang Nuonuo over and said in a lowered voice, "Could it be that those two are both his summoned beasts?"

"No way, right?"

Wang Nuonuo's eyes widened slightly.

But now that she thought about it, it seemed quite possible.

They say over in the Imperial Capital and Magic City, there are always some overachieving students who advance super quickly.

Could her junior be one of those overachievers?

"Who knows, maybe I can find a chance later to secretly tease his summoned beasts a bit."

"Um, that's probably not a good idea... Why don't you just ask him directly?"

The two engaged in a quiet discussion.

[Request, Maintenance]

[Hissss!]

But soon, their summoned beasts started protesting.

Didn't you notice we're still fighting the mushrooms? Why are you two chatting over there!

Only then did Wang Nuonuo and Liu Tietie perk up again, continuing their strategy against the Sha Sha Mushrooms.

Finally, after ten or so minutes, all the Sha Sha Mushrooms lay on the ground, barely clinging to life. They had managed their strength control quite well.

Once everyone regrouped, Li Qiangqiang examined Li Pu and the scarecrow.

"You two are really something."

That sand sticking to them is like glitter powder and will undoubtedly attract more Sha Sha Mushrooms.

"Not a problem, not a problem."

Li Pu, sitting on the ground, waved it off.

The mushroom cores may not be worth much, but at least they don't take up space.

So in terms of efficiency, he was quite willing to hunt them.

Most importantly, through combat just now he realized that these creatures were simply not his match.

The [Sprint] effect from Bunny Bunny allowed him and the scarecrow to move freely amid the Sha Sha Mushroom crowd, handling them was extremely simple.

Even if twice as many Sha Sha Mushrooms came now, he was confident he could smash them all.

Such a response made the trio feel a bit odd.

Actually overturning a group of Sha Sha Mushrooms isn't all that rare.

The issue is, they couldn't manage that, at least not quickly.

Moreover, this guy is just a first-year student!

Compared to them, it made them feel like failures.

Mind you, their little team was rated middle to upper tier among second-year students.

Simply put, this limping guy alone was like three of them, perhaps even more.

Comparing oneself to others can be quite infuriating.

Yet, since Li Pu showed reliable combat power and had no intention of retreating, they naturally decided to stay along for the ride.

While waiting for more Sha Sha Mushrooms to arrive, Li Qiangqiang struck up a conversation with Li Pu.

Meanwhile, Liu Tietie pulled Wang Nuonuo aside once more.

"How is it?"

Seeing her sister's expression, Wang Nuonuo knew what she had done.

She was actually quite curious about the level of Li Pu's two summoned beasts.

"Something feels off."

Liu Tietie had just teased the scarecrow and Bunny Bunny, her expression was a bit off.

"That scarecrow is 0 turn LV20, the little kangaroo is 0 turn LV4."

"What?"

Such an answer left Wang Nuonuo speechless.

"Are you sure?"

She glanced at the summoned beasts playing together, unable to resist asking, "What level is your speckled snake?"

Liu Tietie: "0 turn LV30."

She belonged to the group with good Spiritual Power talents, having her first summoned beast the speckled snake complete its second contract by LV28.

She just hadn't found a suitable plan yet, so she hadn't allowed the speckled snake to reincarnate.

"Why is a LV20 scarecrow able to bully a LV30 speckled snake?"

Wang Nuonuo pointedly raised her doubts.

At that moment, the summoned beasts were enjoying themselves together.

[Sour Nom Nom~]

The rock armored horse was sharing its snack with Bunny Bunny, a plump, juicy white sour radish.

[Gift, Unknown, Fuel]

Mighty Steel tilted its head, muttering to itself.

It held a small bottle of cola between its two thick fingers, making the cola appear somewhat tiny.

And the scarecrow was riding atop the speckled snake's head.

[Grass!]

Scarecrow: Little snake, have this grass drink up!

The cheerful scarecrow was opening the speckled snake's jaw wide, pouring cola into it.

"Uh, shouldn't be like this..."

Seeing her summoned beast being teased, Liu Tietie was puzzled.

The speckled snake was supposed to be an E-tier summoned beast, and it held a level advantage.

How could it be dominated by a mere F-tier scarecrow with a lower level? Truly disappointing.

Before she could step in to cheer up the speckled snake, Wang Nuonuo suddenly stood up.

"Everyone, something's not right!"

"Hurry, prepare for battle!"

"Something big is coming!"

Her expression was extremely tense.

Boom... Boom... Boom...

Actually, there was no need for her reminder; the heavy footsteps had already alerted everyone.

Soon, the owner of the footsteps appeared within their view.

"Is it a wild BOSS?!"

"We've got crazy luck!"

The appearance of a large magical beast unsettled both Liu Tietie and Li Qiangqiang.

"That looks like a mountain..."

Li Pu, on the other hand, craned his neck, casually remarking he had never seen such a huge mushroom before.

"This isn't the time for amazement, is it?"

Wang Nuonuo shot Li Pu a glance.

Why is it that every time I'm with you, we run into big things?
