[Ugh~]

Facing the numerous Climbing Wall Vine roots, the Rainbow Wolf still looked contemptuous.

Whether the roots of the Climbing Wall Vine had eyes was unknown, but they seemed angered by this attitude.

Whoosh!

One of the roots tightened and shot towards the Rainbow Wolf.

Faced with the attack aimed straight at its forehead, the Rainbow Wolf transformed directly into a rainbow light.

This move was not dodging but rather heading straight into the attack.

Clang!

The flashing light clashed with the root, creating a sound like hard metal.

The light landed, causing the Rainbow Wolf to reappear.

And the root of the Climbing Wall Vine shattered like fragile glass.

"No way."

Li Pu didn't expect that at their first direct confrontation, the Climbing Wall Vine would lose.

However, it seemed that the Climbing Wall Vine had anticipated this situation, immediately launching a barrage of root attacks.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Numerous roots stabbed down like rain.

Clang clang clang clang clang clang!

In front of the Rainbow Wolf's transformation light, most roots appeared fragile.

After the collision, only a few particularly green ones were left on the scene.

The ground was already covered with green fragments.

"I wonder if these fragments are worth anything."

Li Pu looked at the fragments on the ground, his first thought was very real.

Rumble rumble rumble...

Clearly, the Climbing Wall Vine's abilities didn't end there.

With most roots destroyed, the surroundings trembled once more.

Rustle rustle rustle...

More roots than before emerged from the ground, even from the rock walls.

And this time, it wasn't just roots; even vines appeared.

They gathered and intertwined, beginning to weave a shape that was initially vague but gradually became clear.

This scene, Li Pu was very familiar with.

The Climbing Wall Vine was forming a tiger's head.

"They're really going all out, huh?"

Seeing this, Li Pu was a bit surprised.

Previously, mobilizing the aphid army felt like a bit of an overkill.

The Climbing Wall Vine was so strong, what could a mere cloud of Rainbow Wolves do, especially from such a distance?

But now, not only the aphid army was here, even the Climbing Wall Vine itself made an appearance.

The attitude shown could be seen as highly significant.

On the other hand, the Rainbow Wolf showed no fear facing an A+ level magical beast.

It leaped back onto the stone bed at the cave entrance, standing high and mighty with a contemptuous demeanor.

Allowing the Climbing Wall Vine's tiger head to form without any hindrance.

[Roar!]

Not long after, the Climbing Wall Vine's tiger head took shape.

However, it was slightly different from what Li Pu saw earlier on the big rock wall.

The main difference was in size.

The tiger head on the big rock wall was as large as a locomotive.

But now, it was only slightly bigger than the aphid army's tiger head.

"Huh?"

Just when Li Pu thought it was over, the Climbing Wall Vine's formation didn't stop.

The neck, body, limbs, and tail.

A giant tiger, as if carved from jade, appeared lifelikeness in front of him.

The most distinctive feature was its tail.

Whether it was a tail or vine, it extended into the ground, resembling some kind of control link or energy transfer pipeline.

"Is this the complete form of the elder Climbing Wall Vine?"

He seemed to realize something.

[Roar...]

After forming, the Climbing Wall Vine's first action was not to attack the Rainbow Wolf.

Instead, it turned its head towards the direction where Li Pu stood on the big stone, emitting a summoning growl.

Indeed, even the Rainbow Wolf could find his trail, so there was no way the Climbing Wall Vine, with its roots underground, couldn't.

Rustle rustle rustle...

Several jade-like vines emerged, spelling out a line in front of Li Pu as if they had minds of their own.

[Kid, lend me a hand]

The straightforward request left Li Pu momentarily stunned.

"Senior... do you really intend to take down that bird?"

He hesitated slightly.

Yes, a bird.

From the beginning, what Li Pu saw was different from Bobo.

Under the illusion-immunity effect of [Willpower], what he saw wasn't a Rainbow Wolf.

But rather a bird resembling a pheasant, with feathers constantly shifting between seven colors.

Especially its tail, with seven long satin-like ribbons, vibrant and striking.

[Clang?]

[Roar?]

Li Pu's words left both the Rainbow Bird and the Climbing Wall Vine momentarily stunned.

[You can actually see through this guy's true form as the Hundred-Headed Bird?]

The Climbing Wall Vine's vines spelled out another line.

Between the lines, surprise was evident.

Actually, not only could he see its true form, but the most crucial part was that Li Pu was familiar with those feathers.

The color changes and shape were identical to the feathers he had previously picked up in the illusion mist.

Knowing what this feather was called was essential.

Guardian Beast Feather.

This meant, like the Climbing Wall Vine, that the giant bird before him was also a Guardian Beast!

Originally judging by name, the so-called Guardian Beasts were supposed to be transcendental beings guarding Xidu University.

But now, why were the two sides opposing each other was hard to comprehend.

"So this senior is called the Hundred-Headed Bird."

Li Pu even added the word senior.

As for the Climbing Wall Vine's request for his help, he didn't directly respond.

But under the wary gaze of the Hundred-Headed Bird, he walked over to the Climbing Wall Vine's side.

[Roar roar~]

Just as the Climbing Wall Vine emitted a satisfied low growl, Li Pu naturally bent down and plucked a few golden aphid canine teeth, tucking them into his storage space.

"I shall not interfere in the personal grudges between you two seniors."

Then he cupped his hands towards both sides as a farewell.

[Chirp chirp~]

Bobo mimicked him, its short arms imitating a fist salute.

Climbing Wall Vine: ???

Hundred-Headed Bird: ...

As the saying goes, 'Fortune favors the brave, hunger staves off the timid.'

With the golden aphid corpse right in front of him, Li Pu couldn't help but retrieve them, knowing gathering a batch would meet the needed amount.

Considering all the information gathered, the Guardian Beasts didn't appear hostile towards students nor would they harm them, which is why he decided to play it this way.

Thick-skinned, he plucked the remains of its little brothers in front of the Climbing Wall Vine.

"Seniors, there are mountains and waters to meet again."

If he were only watching the fight, Li Pu would have liked to stay.

But having to choose sides changed his stance.

Clearly, he didn't want to get involved in such matters.

The adversary's background wasn't small, likely of the same rank as the Climbing Wall Vine.

Rustle...

But just as he turned, a vine grabbed his shoulder.

Not planning to let him leave so easily, the Climbing Wall Vine's eyes shifted, spelling out a new phrase with its vine.

[Fight it, and I'll reward you]

"Apologies, Senior Hundred-Headed Bird."

Li Pu turned back and cupped his hands again, his expression firm.

[Chirp chirp~]

Bobo, with a vine in its mouth, also mimicked saluting with its short arms.

Hundred-Headed Bird: ???
