Even Li Pu’s [Night Vision] was powerless.
Because this skill only provides vision in the dark, it doesn’t an seeing infinitely far.
"Are you sure, the Ugly Little Wolf fell down?"
Chang Shoushang stretched his neck to look at the bottomless abyss and turned to ask Li Pu.
"Yes."
Li Pu’s face was full of helplessness.
He didn’t expect that the final resting place of the Ugly Little Wolf would be here.
Perhaps it floated here and encountered so no-fly zone Wang Nuonuo had ntioned before.
"This is not easy to handle."
Jiang Guiju held her chin, scrutinizing the abyss.
"How about letting it starve down there and then using a Revive Talisman to bring it back?"
Then she calmly spoke of a scary yet feasible plan.
Rumble, rumble...
At this mont, a vague sound ca from deep within the abyss.
A few seconds later, it quickly beca clear.
Whoosh, whoosh!
A strong warm wind surged up from the ditch, ssing up their hairstyles.
"Looks like it can’t starve to death now."
Li Pu helplessly shrugged.
The Ugly Little Wolf lived off the wind, and just that gust alone was enough to keep it full for weeks.
"Let’s think of a solution later, let’s finish the task first."
So he decided to postpone the rescue operation.
After all, ti waits for no one, the sooner they complete the task, the better ranking they can achieve.
"Right, senior, why don’t you tell us about the task?"
This reminder also caught Chang Shoushang’s interest.
"Let see."
Jiang Guiju took out the task paper again.
The content was too long, the text was much, so no one really wanted to read it.
"It says we need to use a specified item to attract those Abyssal Mushrooms up, then collect materials from them."
"But we have to be careful in the process because it might also attract phantasmal beasts that specifically eat mushrooms."
Saying this, she took out a small bottle.
This was distributed by the student council staff during the task drawing, containing a special essential oil, the scent of which has a unique attraction to mushroom monsters, called Mushroom Mint.
"Why don’t we try it now?"
Seeing that it would still take so ti for the sky to turn completely dark, Long Ren suggested.
This suggestion received unanimous approval from everyone.
After all, there’s no harm in trying.
So Jiang Guiju followed the instructions and dripped a drop of Mushroom Mint on the ground.
Since it was just a trial, she dared not use too much.
Then they all hid behind a big rock with their summoned creatures, waiting for the result.
Whether it was too little a quantity or the scent of the Mushroom Mint was detectable only to mushrooms, in any case, Li Pu and the others didn’t sll anything special.
And after waiting for about half an hour, there was still no movent.
"Senior, maybe we used too little."
Finally, Chang Shoushang couldn’t help but speak.
"Shh!"
But Li Pu suddenly signaled everyone to keep quiet.
Since his hearing had been proven, this action made Jiang Guiju and the others all nervous, trying to hold their breath and not make any noise.
[Mushroom Aroma!]
After a few more minutes, a figure appeared in the visual field.
"This... it’s effective, but it seems to have attracted it in the wrong direction."
Seeing the mushroom man hopping over from the icefield direction, Long Ren was slightly disappointed.
But just as he finished speaking, he saw Li Pu suddenly activate [Sprint] and dashed out.
[Mushroom Dada?!]
Thud!
He slapped the mushroom man, then returned to his original position.
"What are you doing?!"
Long Ren was startled.
What he saw was almost like a shadow rushing out and then back, with no pauses.
"Nothing special."
Li Pu shook his head, opening his palm to reveal a card.
[Ice Mushroom]
Steadfast, 7 points, D
Attack 20, 100/100, 0/2
The projection of the mushroom man just now vividly presented before their eyes.
A blue and white body with the edges of the mushroom cap full of ice shards.
After this period of fusion research, he discovered a feature of mushroom cards that might have co from a version update or, perhaps, he had ignored before.
That’s the surprisingly good compatibility between mushroom cards and other types of cards in terms of fusion.
Using mushroom cards as the main or material often yields unexpected results.
So when he saw that mushroom person just now, he was so proactive, afraid it would run away.
Chang Shoushang: "... Gave quite a fright, it was just to snatch a card?"
Jiang Guiju: "Almost forgot your title as the Mushroom Card Pro."
The two who had seen Li Pu play cards understood this behavior.
They continued to crouch there and encountered several types of icefield mushroom people they had never seen before.
Among them was one as strong as the Sand Mushroom King from before since the Western Icefield’s level is higher than the East Wilderness Ridge.
But, without exception, they were all quickly dealt with by Li Pu, and he obtained the cards.
"... How does it feel like he’s beco stronger than before in just a month?"
Long Ren watched more and more stunned.
Having lingered in the dungeon with him, he originally thought he had a say in Li Pu’s strength, but now it seems not so.
[Caocao!]
Grassman: Long kid, that’s too naive of you.
[Longo Drago!]
Half-Dragon: I feel like even I’m no match for Big Brother Grass now.
[Grass!]
Grassman: Don’t underestimate yourself; you never could beat !
[Caocao!]
Grassman: In this world (in the future), only Ben Cao can defeat the Summoner!
It’s noteworthy that after joining the dormitory, Long Ren had also pulled Li Pu for sparring.
The so-called sparring ans letting the Grassman and Half-Dragon PK.
The Grassman had acquired the inherent ability [Dragon Bane], and the Half-Dragon was no longer its rival.
Yet, Long Ren thought that, at worst, the growth speed of the Half-Dragon should surpass Li Pu, a human.
After a month’s growth, if it couldn’t beat the Grassman, at least it should be able to beat Li Pu.
But now, it seems he was overthinking.
Chang Shoushang: "Still not used to it?"
Jiang Guiju: "No worries, you’ll get used to it over ti."
As for the other two in the team, they had completely accepted the situation psychologically.
As long as they didn’t compare themselves to Li Pu, they were still the standouts among their peers.
Li Pu eventually harvested a lot of new mushroom cards, expanding his card pool with more fusion material, which he could slowly preview and fuse later.
Unfortunately, there were two things that they couldn’t provide enough of to form related ingredients or skills that were notably attractive.
And there were no mushrooms climbing up from the abyss either.
"There’s no choice; we’ll try again tomorrow."
"I suspect it’s either the amount used or the placent that’s wrong, only attracting outside mushrooms."
Looking at the sky already completely dark, Jiang Guiju suggested returning to the camp.
"Seems that’s the only way."
Li Pu was the first to stand up.
In the last half-hour, no mushrooms were attracted anymore.
It seems the occasional warm breeze has blown all the Mushroom Mint away.
Back at the camp, everyone gathered around a bonfire.
After eating so simple food, the Grassman led a group of summoned beasts to play around.
"If tomorrow is the sa as today, that would be troubling."
Looking at the bonfire, Long Ren voiced his concern.
He also valued the points greatly.
Due to his status as an exchange student, the points he earned here could be used back at Imperial University as well.
The points chanism is basically the sa on both sides, not even needing conversion to exchange directly.
"We’ll see again tomorrow morning."
Jiang Guiju understood the significance.
"If it still doesn’t work, then we’ll have to explore the abyss a bit further down."
"No worries, this ti I also brought safety ropes."
"It’s very safe."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Pu exchanged a peculiar look with Chang Shoushang.
Senior, better not.
Last ti, you seed to have jinxed us when you said sothing similar.
