The strawman itself has good anti-fall properties, and Li Pu has activated "Fatherly Love" to kick it.

So it didn't suffer much damage, just got a little dizzy.

"Grass!!"

Dazed and confused, the first thing it did upon getting up was to release "Entangle."

Swish, swish, swish!

A large number of vines rose from the top of Sasha Mushroom King, firmly wrapping around the lower half of the strawman.

Yes, it was entangled with itself.

At this moment, it was equivalent to being rooted on top of Sasha Mushroom King, stabilizing its posture.

"Ci~aoaoaoaoaoaoao~"

Next, it raised its hand wrapped in iron and slowly smashed down in slow motion.

Thanks to the vines' fixation, its "Snail Grass" state wasn't broken.

After a few rounds of entanglement between Li Pu and Sasha Mushroom King, it finally landed on the opponent's head.

Boom!!!

Though it was just a punch made of grass, it had the effect like Mount Tai pressing down.

At this moment, Sasha Mushroom King seemed like an elastic doll, with the strong pressure from above compressing its entire body from top to bottom.

Especially its upper body, directly compressed into layers.

"What happened?!"

"Its head is flattened!!"

"Ugh, just now I think I saw the strawman land on its head..."

Wang Nuonuo and the others were shocked by this sight.

But the next second, they regretted speaking.

Because a powerful sand shock wave swept directly in.

Bang!!!!

A sand mushroom cloud much larger than before, rose into the sky.

"Puh-puh-puh-puh!" x3

A lot of sand instantly stuffed their mouths.

But even as the sand swept through, the three's shock couldn't be suppressed.

Because the sand mushroom cloud meant that Sasha Mushroom King was done for!

That strawman took out a field BOSS at 1st turn LV20 with just one punch?!

(Is this strawman really that powerful?)

Wang Nuonuo was particularly shocked, recalling when they were in Little Yama Realm, she had thought the strawman too weak and made it a scout.

Leave the grass for three days, and indeed, eating the mouthful of sand!

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Puh-grass-puh-grass-puh-grass!"

As the sand slowly faded, Li Pu and the strawman's figures were revealed.

Covered with sand, it couldn't conceal his delight.

He got what he wanted.

Besides, there were additional rewards.

Speaking of which, it seemed to be his first proper skill orb dropped from a monster.

And from one as high-level as Sasha Mushroom King, his luck was incredible.

He wondered if stronger monsters were easier to drop skill orbs.

"..." x3

The three saw Li Pu walking closer, with quite peculiar expressions.

Facing such a new monstrosity, they didn't know what to say.

"Senior sister, how should we deal with that thing?"

Li Pu pointed towards the item Sasha Mushroom King left behind.

A huge mushroom core.

As for the skill orb, he had already pocketed it.

After all, it was the monster he had taken down.

"Uh, how much can this thing be sold for?"

Wang Nuonuo remarked. She had never seen such a large mushroom core before.

"Let me take a look."

Liu Tietie walked over and examined it closely.

"Wow, this thing is valuable."

"5000 Crystal Coins!"

Soon, her exclamation echoed over.

5000 Crystal Coins were definitely not a small amount for students.

But the issue was how to transport it.

Sasha Mushroom King was large, and naturally, so was the mushroom core.

Not an exaggeration to compare it to a towering tree.

Even if Chang Shoushang, with his vast storage space, were here, he couldn't store it.

Eventually, after Li Pu discussed with the three senior sisters, both sides reached an agreement.

The seniors would help transport the huge mushroom core back to the trade post, selling it and giving them a portion as reward.

Because moving such a large mushroom core was indeed challenging.

Not only requiring strength, but along the way, protection was needed to prevent harassment from other monsters.

Considering the mushroom core's size, Li Pu could ensure carrying it back alone but not its integrity.

If encountering a hungry pack of monsters, chewing holes in the mushroom core might decrease its sale value.

The task of guarding was easier for the senior sisters.

They had more hands, better for resisting monsters' covetous gaze.

Moreover, that rock-armored horse looked strong and healthy, certainly capable of dragging the mushroom core.

Added to the presence of Leg YouYou, they could largely avoid monster packs.

Another key point was the time taken for the round trip to the trade post.

Overall, having the seniors help transport and sell it turned a better profit for Li Pu.

And now, after testing many things, he felt even encountering a group of monsters alone wouldn't be unbeatable.

With the seniors present, he couldn't fully exert himself.

Originally, Wang Nuonuo and her friends thought Li Pu would go back together, so hearing he was staying took them by surprise.

Still, the trio happily accepted this outcome.

If the mushroom core could be smoothly transported and sold for 5000 Crystal Coins, they'd each get a small portion of several hundred Crystal Coins.

Not only could they go back earlier, but it also compared favorably with the earnings from their small team trip to East Wilderness Ridge.

After seeing the senior sisters off, Li Pu found a large rock for cover and rested there.

To recover the stamina spent battling Sasha Mushroom King and to review his loot.

He flipped his wrist, retrieving the skill orb from his storage space.

[LV1-Sand Creation (E+)]

Active Effect: Creates yellow sand to obstruct the target

Attribute Requirement: None

Type Requirement: Balanced

Race Requirement: None

"Truly a good skill."

After reading the information, Li Pu was all smiles.

Why a good skill? Because he could use it himself.

"Creating yellow sand, likely a sand tossing skill, right?"

Not only could he acquire it, but he felt this skill perfectly matched his style.

Sand tossing was notably effective against enemies with eyes.

"No point in overthinking, better learn it to test out."

So he squeezed the orb firmly in hand, crushing it.

Many fragmented light particles circled around him, slowly merging into Li Pu's body.

A new power began to germinate within him.

"Eat-eat?"

Bu Bu was witnessing this wondrous spectacle for the first time, munching on carrots while curiously observing the scattered light bits.

"Grass!"

The strawman thought Bu Bu was just being naive.

Their summoner was just this crazy, even able to use skill orbs.

"Come, you step over here."

Now, Li Pu gestured for the strawman to come closer.

Having acquired a new skill, he needed a target for practice.
