[Grass?]

The Scarecrow Creature walked hesitantly up to Li Pu, exuding caution all over.

Because it never ended well at times like this.

Even though getting hit by a Summoner doesn't cause injuries, the pain is unavoidable.

"Let me show you my new skill, Sand Attack."

Li Pu stood up and patted his backside.

Sand Attack?

The Scarecrow Creature felt a slight tremor in its heart upon hearing this.

Don't think it's some clueless fool; the martial arts movies it watched with that turtle guy weren't watched in vain.

It knew Sand Attack was a sneaky technique of attacking the enemy's eyes with sand.

This truly matches the Summoner's style!

Thinking to itself, it covered its eyes.

[Hehe, Grass!]

Through the gaps between its grassy fingers, the Scarecrow Creature snickered.

Ben Cao directly helped block the eyes, let's see how you prevail now.

"Here it comes."

Actually, Li Pu wasn't exactly sure what the exact effect of the new skill would be.

While activating the skill, he waved his hand.

[Caocao!]

Scarecrow Creature: Come on, come on, you despicable Summoner!

However, the expected handful of sand assaulting its face did not happen.

Instead, a huge amount of yellow sand poured down from thin air over its head.

Crashhh!

The massive yellow sand descended like a pillar, directly crushing the Scarecrow Creature to the ground under gravity's pressure.

Nowadays, its physique could no longer be described as weak.

Just imagine how large the amount of this yellow sand was.

[Grass, Grass, Grass!]

Scarecrow Creature: You despicable Summoner, this isn't Sand Attack, it's clearly a Sand Waterfall!

The Scarecrow Creature only managed to curse once before it was completely buried by the yellow sand.

"Uh, is the amount really this much?"

Li Pu looked at the huge pile of yellow sand in surprise.

The volume of this sand pillar could easily fill up the space as large as their dormitory.

It seems "hindering the target" is genuinely plausible.

And not just hindrance, it's almost like burial.

With a thought, he tried activating double the power.

Rumble, Rumble, Rumble!

This time, the momentum was even greater, with twice the amount of sand than before.

[Grass...]

Faintly, it seemed he heard the grievance from the Scarecrow Creature, which was buried for the second time.

Luckily, sand is just sand. Before long, it struggled to surface its head from underneath.

[Eat, Eat~]

Seeing the Scarecrow Creature with its lower half still buried in sand, Ally (卜卜) bounded over to it.

[Grass!]

Scarecrow Creature: What do you want, you little thing!

[Eat, Eat~]

Seemingly feeling sorry for the Scarecrow Creature, Ally used its little short arms to brush off the sand from its head.

This gesture moved the Scarecrow Creature greatly.

[Caocao!]

Scarecrow Creature: I misunderstood you before, only you, shorty, would pity Ben Cao!

[Yum, Yum!]

Yet in the next second, Ally bit onto its face.

"Truly a good skill, it should come in handy in the right scenarios."

Ignoring the brotherly-sisterly scene between the two summoned creatures, Li Pu rubbed his chin and nodded thoughtfully.

...

A few hours later, night fell.

Li Pu, along with one Caocao and one Ally, lay hidden upon a large rock, concealing their presence.

Perhaps because of the residual sand from the Sasha Mushroom King, they didn't encounter any more Sasha Mushrooms along the way.

After reaching this pile of rocks, they quietly sneaked in.

Yesterday, upon Hang Xing's reminder, Li Pu learned that student wristwatches could view maps of the areas around the school.

And the map annotations were quite detailed, with places like Mushroom Valley and Moonlight Lake marked out.

Even distinctive terrains were marked on it.

The spot they were currently in had no name and was displayed as just a pile of rocks on the map.

However, 5 kilometers away was a named location.

Wolf's Corridor.

Indeed, Li Pu's current primary target in East Wilderness Ridge was Uyun Wolves.

He consulted Hang Xing yesterday and learned that the corridor was one of the areas with the most Uyun Wolves.

It was due to the abundance of Uyun Wolves that the valley corridor was named Wolf's Corridor.

From the map, the corridor was quite close to the southeastern boundary's stone wall.

Its direct distance was no more than 10 kilometers.

No wonder they treated the stone wall like a dining hall, frequently running there to feed on aphids.

Wolf's Corridor spanned a vast area, meaning a lot of Uyun Wolves were nestled within.

As the largest known wolf-gathering location in East Wilderness Ridge, Hang Xing mentioned the number of Uyun Wolves there was conservatively estimated at over a thousand.

Hence, Wolf's Corridor more than met Li Pu's requirements, as he hoped to handle at least 500.

For he currently only had five leaves, and needed five more to reach the needed quantity for a certain material.

More hunts, of course, would be better.

500 was merely the minimum expectation.

But he didn't have the guts to charge in head-on against various tribes of wolves.

Thus, he chose to lay in ambush at the outskirts, waiting for roaming packs of wolves to pass by for a rest.

Waiting for wolves was the first step of the plan.

If the harvest wasn't satisfactory, the second step would've required the Scarecrow Creature to lure them out.

Unaware that it might face an arduous task, the Scarecrow Creature was soundly asleep on the rock.

The bright moonlight tonight made it feel extra comfortable.

Staying around this crazy Summoner almost made it forget about absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, a task it should be doing.

Just as it rarely decided to be diligent, it fell asleep while absorbing.

Due to its influence, Ally also fell asleep with a sweet grass head in its mouth.

Occasionally, it joyfully fluttered its small arms.

Because in its dreams, it found an endlessly consumable lollipop, making it joyously delighted.

Only Li Pu continued to stay on guard.

With his Night Vision, the weak moonlight caused minimal disruption.

Although clarity couldn't match that of the day, he could still see far.

As the saying goes, diligence pays off. Almost 40 minutes into their vigil on the rock, a loud wolf howl came from afar.

[Awwooo~~~~]

Following the sound, Li Pu saw a wolf's silhouette howling at the moon on a hill about 500 meters away.

The silhouette was unusual, like the outline of a cloud.

Indeed, it was Uyun Wolves.

As the howl persisted, more and more silhouettes appeared on the hill.

One, two, three...

Soon, there were as many as fifteen.

Most importantly, once they finished howling, they genuinely headed toward the rock pile.

"Lucky day."

At this good news, he gently tapped to wake the Scarecrow Creature and Ally.

[Grass...]

Scarecrow Creature: Uh, seemed like I was dreaming of washing my hair.

[Eat, Eat~]

Ally: Sweet dream~

"Shh."

Li Pu quickly gestured for them to quiet down, to avoid being detected early by the wolf pack.

"Huh?"

But soon, he softly uttered a "huh."

For trailing behind the group of Uyun Wolves was a staggering small figure...
