[Panic, Panic?]
Seeing Li Pu spot it, the fat worm imdiately displayed a frightened expression.
Its body was tender and white, as thick and long as a thigh.
On its head was a fleshy, slender antenna, from which a fist-sized, erald green gem was suspended.
[Panic!]
This fat worm belonged to a type that could unleash illusions but had extrely low combat capabilities, and it was now wriggling away, trying to escape while shouting.
[Cao!]
But the scarecrow, having reacted, was not having any of it and chased after it, stomping it to pieces with one swift motion.
That damn thing had scared the hell out of him just now!
"Too rough."
Looking at the ss on the ground, Li Pu imdiately frowned.
A perfectly good piece of material, now completely wasted.
Fortunately, the gem on the fat worm’s antenna was still intact.
He had the scarecrow take it down and hand it to him.
The next second, information fed back to him.
[LV1-Clear Vision (C)]100/100
Passive Effect: Immunity to all Illusion Techniques
Attribute Requirent: None
Type Requirent: Wisdom
Species Requirent: Illusion Category
"What the heck, how to profit?"
Holding this gem, Li Pu could hardly believe his eyes.
Inside the East Wilderness Ridge, there existed a C-level magical beast!
Without counting the A level Climbing Wall Vine, this was the highest grade living magical creature he had ever encountered.
But on second thought, it seed reasonable to him.
If it weren’t for his and the scarecrow’s immunity to [Fear], this fat worm would have been quite formidable.
For others, it wouldn’t be so easy to get the upper hand.
Especially since its illusion techniques were quite powerful, capable of targeting its opponent’s inner fears and launching specific illusion attacks.
It’s just unexpected that a C-level magical beast t its end so easily at their hands.
"And there doesn’t seem to be much to think about."
Regarding where to use the gem, he imdiately had the answer.
A C-level related item, if sacrificed, could directly raise the scarecrow from LV14 to LV19, a full 5 levels.
But obviously, for a useful skill, that would be too wasteful.
Plus, he had the money, the re fusion cost of a few thousand was easily bearable.
Worried that he didn’t know when it might expire, Li Pu quickly fused the skill [Clear Vision].
The fusion target was the scarecrow’s passive skill [Willpower], from which he could also benefit through [Imitation].
[Willpower (New)]: Immunity to Fear/Illusion effects, greatly increased strength
Like [Small Fireball], the na of [Willpower] beca steadfast too.
Li Pu guessed it might be related to the number of tis fused, or if the original skill changed little after fusion, its original na would be retained.
In any case, it wasn’t sothing important.
The crucial part was that after the illusion immunity effect kicked in, Li Pu noticed a change in what he saw.
The scene before him suddenly beca clear.
The number of large stones sharply decreased, no longer presenting an endless stone forest in every direction.
And the safe passage also appeared in his line of sight.
At that mont, the passage was only about 20 ters away from him and the scarecrow.
The direction they had been moving in previously was almost parallel to the safe passage, which was why they hadn’t gotten out yet.
It turned out this magical beast was called the Illusion Dream Silkworm.
A type of scavenger magical beast, one of the culprits behind the formation of the stone forest maze.
The reason the stone forest maze was called a maze was indeed related to the strange magnetic field present here.
However, the greater danger factor was still this Illusion Dream Silkworm.
The Illusion Dream Silkworm could, through its unique physique, greatly amplify this strange magnetic field, and its coverage area was extensive.
In addition to amplifying the magnetic field of the maze’s illusions, it could release a wide variety of terrifying illusions.
Its usual hunting thod involved torturing prey into exhaustion with its illusions, completely robbing them of their ability to escape.
After prey was trapped and died in the maze, it would slowly crawl out to consu their corpses.
However, it hadn’t expected that this ti, the prey was entirely unafraid of illusions, and even got furious, discovering its location by accident.
One could only say that this Illusion Dream Silkworm died a bit unjustly.
[Cao!]
Scarecrow: Summoner, let’s quickly leave this weird place!
The scarecrow, who had also realized it had seen through the illusion, urged Li Pu to leave.
"Hold on a mont."
However, this didn’t align with Li Pu’s current thoughts.
Earlier, at the mont when everyone was blasted apart on the safe passage, he had caught a glimpse.
The third-year seniors were flung into the stone forest on the left.
While he and Senior Chang Shoushang were thrown into the right side.
Now Li Pu felt the most important thing was to find Chang Shoushang and confirm his safety.
"We’ll search separately."
Thus, he made a decision.
[Cao!]
Scarecrow: Summoner, don’t do this, Caocao is scared!
It was obvious that the sudden appearance of the illusory ox earlier had left a significant psychological shadow on the scarecrow.
[Caocao!]
Scarecrow: How about you release the Bighead Kangaroo to keep Caocao company!
Seeing that it couldn’t convince Li Pu, it made another suggestion.
Even though the kangaroo only gnawed on its head, having company would bring so peace of mind.
But Li Pu refused this suggestion.
Bo Bo couldn’t be immune to illusions, and he worried she might encounter danger if released into the stone forest.
Besides, how could he not understand his scarecrow?
After a round of negotiation, the terms settled on 5 bottles of cola.
The scarecrow marched into the depths of the stone forest with bravado.
As for Li Pu, he searched in the opposite direction.
In reality, they hadn’t been in the stone forest maze for very long.
Even running at full speed wouldn’t have taken them very far.
So after just a few minutes of searching, Li Pu received telepathy from the scarecrow.
When he arrived at the scene, his face turned pale at what he saw.
"This is bad."
At this mont, Chang Shoushang was lying motionless on the ground.
Underneath his belly was a large puddle of bluish liquid.
With such a loss of health, even for soone with a summoner’s physique, the situation looked grim.
Not far from where Chang Shoushang fell lay half an unknown magical beast’s corpse.
The corpse looked as if it had been gnawed, with its upper half nowhere to be seen.
[An, Cao!]
The scarecrow, using an incomplete gesture it learned from a movie, chanted while tapping both shoulders alternately with its hands.
"Sigh... Rest in peace, senior."
Inspired by this gesture, Li Pu also sighed regretfully, then put his hands together and said, "Wait, I’m not a healer, am I?"
Thankfully he reacted quickly, almost being led astray by the scarecrow.
So he quickly walked over to Chang Shoushang to see if there was still a chance to save him.
