Once running at full speed, the lava fish snake couldn't catch up with Li Pu, even though it had wings and could fly.

However, the acceleration effect on Li Pu had a time limit.

So, after triggering several bursts of [Sprint], when his spiritual power could no longer support him, he was almost caught.

Fortunately, the volcano's location was relatively close to the Earth Domain.

Once they crossed the barrier between the domains, the lava fish snake wouldn't chase them any further.

The environment of the Earth Domain mainly consisted of rocks and stones.

There were a few plants and springs maintaining the natural ecology, compared to the Fire Domain, it was more suitable for normal life.

The place where Li Pu agreed to meet with Scarecrow Caocao was in the Earth Domain.

Under the guidance of telepathy, the two sides quickly reunited.

At this time, the Scarecrow looked rather bedraggled, not only was one arm broken, but it was also dirty.

There were even a few familiar footprints (?) on its back.

It seemed that on the way here, the two of them had also encountered a battle.

But for Li Pu, it was alright as long as they were unharmed.

He first led Caocao and Ben Cao to a large stone that was good for cover and rested underneath for half an hour.

Then he helped the Scarecrow heal, letting it regrow its arm, restoring it to its original state.

[Caocao! Caocao caocao!]

Scarecrow: Summoner, Ben Cao wants to seek revenge on that big fish! Use a sneak attack to blow out its other eye again!

[Chichi!]

Ben Cao: Sneak attack! Sneak attack attack!

Once healed, the Scarecrow immediately started clamoring, and also managed to excite Ben Cao.

It's just unknown whether it knew it couldn't win head-on or learned this despicable approach from somewhere, but it spoke first of a sneak attack.

"I guess we shouldn't think about a sneak attack, it feels like that big thing has already gone berserk."

Li Pu recalled the near-insane behavior of the lava fish snake while it pursued him.

"As we are now, we can't handle it head-on."

So he added another sentence.

"Of course, that's just for now."

But at the end, he took out that scale.

[Cao!]

Scarecrow: Summoner! Well done!

Now the Scarecrow was very familiar with the situation, seeing Li Pu pluck something from the lava fish snake, it roughly knew what would happen.

Just as it thought, only by having this scale did they have the qualifications to engage the lava fish snake head-on.

[LV1-High Temperature Sterilization (B)]115/100

Passive Effect: Immune to all toxin effects

Attribute Requirement: 1~10 Fire/1~10 Lava

Type Requirement: None

Species Requirement: High Temperature Species

From the information first obtained from this related item, it was clear that this lava fish snake was at least a B-level magical beast.

Being immune to toxins, this was very important.

Compared to the previous C-level [Mushroom Poison Antibody], which only provided immunity to mushroom poison, this [High Temperature Sterilization] was a completely upgraded version.

It's just that the acquisition conditions for this skill were very harsh.

Not only did it require the corresponding attributes, but it also had to be a high temperature species.

If not for such harsh conditions, Li Pu felt this skill would at least be A-level or even A+ level.

Fortunately, [Friend of Magical Beasts] required no consideration for acquisition conditions.

And now the Scarecrow already possessed a skill that was very compatible with it, they could simply fuse it.

As for the almost 20,000 fusion cost, it wasn't a problem at all, because he had plenty of money now.

So very quickly, he completed the fusion.

Elevating the Scarecrow's skills once again.

[LV2 Willpower (D→C)]: Immune to Fear / Illusion Technique / Toxin Effects, Strength greatly increased

"It feels like we must achieve good results in both the teamwork circuit and the cube card circuit..."

After completing the fusion, Li Pu murmured to himself softly.

As the reincarnation times, skill levels, and skill fusion times increased, the fusion cost was getting more expensive.

He estimated that to acquire the [Power of Godzilla], it might not be a mere 500,000 issue.

This wave of selling Fire Element Crystal hadn't been satisfying enough before the volcano exploded, which was indeed a pity.

"Alright, let's rest for a bit. We'll set off once we've replenished our energy."

These days, Li Pu hadn't rested well, and feeling quite tired, he decided to rest first.

After distributing cola + carrots to Scarecrow and Ben Cao, he casually opened the leaderboard.

Now their team had fallen to 28th place.

28th place, 4 gold + 3.9 wood + 4 water + 4 fire + 4 earth

But the good news was, they were only 0.1 wood element fragment away from completing the collection task.

With two days left before the second round ended, securing a spot in the top 100 was practically guaranteed.

Earlier he had contacted Wu Guinan, who said several teams from Xidu University were gathering in the Wood Domain.

Leveraging strength in numbers, they were already in area level 1 hunting, almost dominating there.

So after some thought, he used a light orb to contact Wu Guinan again.

...

Two hours later, Li Pu led Scarecrow and Ben Cao back into the Fire Domain level 1 area.

[Roar!!!!]

Just as they stepped in, they saw the lava fish snake circling in the sky.

The previously bleeding wounds of lava + blood seemed to have scabbed over.

Though still missing part of its head, it no longer bled.

The lava fish snake was still as lively as ever.

It occasionally dive-bombed from high altitude, spewing fiery toxic lava to ravage the ground, suggesting no other contestants could linger in this level 1 area anymore.

"I wonder how much this big guy's corpse can sell for."

This time Li Pu was brimming with confidence.

With instance restrictions in place, no matter its strength, this B-level magical beast's level wouldn't be too high.

"Later we'll do this and that, like so and so."

So he explained the general tactics to Scarecrow and Ben Cao.

[Cao!!!]

As always, Scarecrow protested.

But as usual, dissenting votes were invalid.

After confirming the plan and completing the respective preparations, Li Pu went alone to a higher terrain spot.

With the lava fish snake's eyesight and its grudge against him, he didn't need to take any action to quickly attract its attention.

[Roar!!!!]

Sure enough, less than half a minute later, the roar was heard from afar.

"Come on, come on."

Li Pu activated dual abilities [Hardening] + [Sprint] simultaneously.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The huge body had not yet arrived, but strong winds began whipping across his face.

He calmly watched the lava fish snake rapidly closing in, and when it entered a certain range, he suddenly raised his hand.

Buzz...

This was a preemptive [Gravity Field].

Just as the lava fish snake's head passed by, it took effect.

[Gahroar?!]

Its entire body suddenly halted.

One of the advantages of [Gravity Field] was that its effect was not influenced by the opponent's size.

The greater one's own weight, the stronger the gravitational force endured.

[Gahroar!!!]

But the lava fish snake was strong enough, and a mere two or three times gravitational pull on its neck couldn't truly restrict its movement.

After roaring angrily at Li Pu with its mouth wide open, it began to struggle.
