Li Pu arrived at the Great Stone Wall with Caocao and Bubu when the sun was still two hours away from setting.

He miscalculated the travel time, mainly because he overlooked Bubu's unlimited refills of [Sprint].

With this little guy around, the travel time improved greatly.

As the little tree man said, after wearing the small jade leaf, he didn't attract even a single aphid when approaching the Great Stone Wall.

So he and the grass man easily climbed the Great Stone Wall.

This was Li Pu's first time standing on the Great Stone Wall; previously, he had only used the grass man's little blue firegrass bird to take a look.

There was nothing special on the stone wall, about 10 meters wide.

Looking in the direction it extended, it was just bare and smooth stone.

In some shallow crevices between stones, there were some small, crystal-clear little crystals.

"What a strange thing this is."

At his feet was a crystal with a diameter longer than a thumb, which Li Pu picked up to examine.

[Cao cao cao!]

Grass Man: Summoner, it's aphid poop!

Thanks to the grass man's reminder, he quickly shook his hand and threw it away.

"Next time, tell me sooner about such things."

He blamed the grass man, patting its shoulder and taking the opportunity to wipe his hands clean.

[Cao!]

Grass Man: Summoner, your hands are so salty!

Due to its different bodily structure from humans, the grass man could taste flavors all over its body.

[Yummy~]

At this moment, Bubu, who was hopping around playing, also happened to pick up a piece of spotless salt.

[Cao cao!]

Grass Man: Big radish head, you should taste it too!

The grass man eagerly encouraged.

"What are you teaching, you."

Li Pu kicked it slightly, annoyed.

[Not eating~]

However, Bubu seemed to just find this shiny thing new and fun. After a look, it put it in its bag.

"Next, we'll just wait slowly."

Seeing the sun still a bit high, Li Pu began to explore leisurely.

This place was less than 10 kilometers from the Wolf's Corridor, and if they really ran, they would reach it quickly.

[Cao!]

Grass Man: There are many unpleasant smells over there!

The grass man pointed in the direction of the East Wilderness Ridge and hurried off.

Seeing this, Li Pu followed him.

[Yummy~]

Bubu continued to pick up the spotless salt by itself.

Thus, one person and one grass reached the edge on the other side of the Great Stone Wall and peered down.

"Oh my goodness gracious."

[Oh my grass cao!]

They couldn't help but exclaim on the spot.

At the bottom of the Great Stone Wall on the East Wilderness Ridge side was a huge expanse of lush green aphids.

Judging by their posture, they seemed to be assembling for departure.

When night falls, they're poised to attack the Wolf's Corridor.

Li Pu couldn't count them all, but he was sure there were more than ten thousand of them.

This made him doubt whether the Climbing Wall Vine he saw before was its true size.

Otherwise, how could just a few tendrils support an aphid race of this magnitude?

[Cao!]

Grass Man: Summoner, Ben Cao is feeling dizzy!

The natural aversion, coupled with their vast numbers, made the grass man extremely uncomfortable.

At this point, it lay directly at the edge of the Great Stone Wall, stretching its head down to peer.

"Just don't look."

Li Pu shook his head helplessly.

Unlike the grass man, what he saw was a batch of related objects.

With just a cursory glance, he already discovered several types of aphids he had never encountered before, and their numbers were not small.

He had the urge to let the grass man conjure a massive card Fireball down there, but he restrained himself.

Later, by following this large aphid troop into the Wolf's Corridor, he wouldn't worry about not collecting related objects.

So Li Pu simply let the grass man and Bubu roam freely on the stone wall, while he sat down to conserve energy, quietly waiting for the aphid troop's departure.

Sure enough, as the sky began to darken, the vast green troop finally stirred.

Susu sususu!

The frictional sound between insect bodies was like a strong wind sweeping over the long prairie.

They began to pace forward towards the Wolf's Corridor.

"Here they come."

Li Pu perked up and activated Night Vision of Double Strength.

The effect of Double Strength + LV2 was significantly better than before.

This allowed his vision for at least a range of fifty meters to be almost identical to his daytime sight.

When those aphids quietly maintained formation it was not noticeable, now with a large scale move, Li Pu spotted something unusual.

At the forefront of the formation, some aphids appeared quite distinctive.

First of all, unlike the pure green aphids, these were golden.

They were also large enough, with one being able to match four or five

Regular aphids were crystal-clear, but these big aphids seemed like solid chunks of gold.

More importantly, unlike the various insect mouthparts of the little aphid followers, these golden aphids had particularly unusual heads.

Like a fusion of a tiger's head and an insect's head.

Currently, they were spaced apart in a row, with not a single regular aphid behind daring to overtake.

"Are these aphid leaders specially cultivated by the Climbing Wall Vine elder?"

Seeing the tiger head traces, Li Pu vaguely understood.

Soon, an idea arose in his mind.

This battle tonight might be exceptionally intense.

Even the golden aphid leaders might not guarantee survival until the end.

So if he were to follow behind these golden aphids, wouldn't he have a good chance to pick up leftovers?

If he were to deliver a final blow when it's almost on its last legs, wouldn't he get its card?

After all, there were several golden aphids, and if he landed the final blow on one, the Climbing Wall Vine elder probably wouldn't mind, right?

Once this thought arose, he couldn't shake it off.

Thus, Li Pu, with the grass man, squeezed through the aphid swarm, following a golden aphid.

[Roar ga?]

The golden aphid's call was a bit odd, but it only glanced at them, then ignored them, as they carried its master's scent.

Under Li Pu's gesture, the grass man lightly tapped the golden aphid.

The result was unlike usual; only a short line of information appeared, without the full data.

Apparently, even the school's database didn't have information on these golden aphids.

But even just one line of information was enough to shock.

[1st Evolution, C, LV40]

"Impressive."

Picking up the grass man's wrist and taking a look, Li Pu sighed in admiration.

The strength of this golden aphid far exceeded the average level of magical beasts in the Southern Forest or East Wilderness Ridge.

Their existence seemed tailored to tackle the large wolves among the Cloud Wolves.

"They say the more powerful the magical beast, the easier it is to drop items."

"And this caliber of a dead insect should be quite valuable, right?"

Suddenly, Li Pu's anticipation rose once again.

It seemed like enchanted items, light clusters, light beads, were already calling to him.

[Cao!!]

Grass Man: Summoner, why are you exerting so much force all of a sudden, you crushed my watch!!
