Chapter 718: Chapter 504: Composite [Sprint] 2
Fortunately, it wasn’t long before he acquired the [Gravity Field].
If you’re worried about your target dodging, then keeping the target fixed in place should solve the problem.
If he can’t hit a stationary target, that means he isn’t a cripple—he’s blind.
Finally, with Li Fan’s help, the current [Sprint + Hardening + Gravity Field] came into existence.
Combining these three Summoner skills makes it easier to activate, uses less spiritual power, and is indeed very handy.
Actually, based on this, Li Pu also designed a small enhancement for himself.
This involves not only using gravity to lock onto an area or a single target but also applying a slight buoyancy to himself, allowing him to run even faster.
Just using [Sprint] normally works too, and when combined with Ugly Little Wolf’s [Cloud Soaring Step], running becomes incredibly fast—he’s tried it.
[Hey! Listen up! Listen up!]
[What’s the situation on your side?]
Having received no response, Xu Zihui asked again.
"Well...we encountered magic beasts."
Captain Xiao snapped back to reality and replied.
[Really? And then?]
Xu Zihui asked again.
"Then the magic beasts are gone."
All the tree entities answered eagerly.
Li Pu’s speed with his vehicle was swift, weaving back and forth a dozen or so times, and killed them all instantly.
[Oh...then you should have responded earlier]
[You had me worried for nothing]
[It was just a few stray magic beasts]
Xu Zihui breathed a sigh of relief.
"No, it’s not just a few."
"It’s over two hundred."
"Zihui, where did you find this monster-like junior?"
This time, Captain Xiao couldn’t help but ask.
[...]
Over there, Xu Zihui fell silent.
But she remembered Li Pu brought along No. 2, so she didn’t say anything, assuming another mushroom cloud had appeared.
"Wait, I seem to remember Zihui saying he was brought by you, right?"
At this moment, Captain Xiao remembered something.
"Senior, actually I..."
Originally, all the tree entities wanted to say "actually I also didn’t know he was so perverted," but halfway through the sentence, a face suddenly popped into his mind.
A face with a green turtle shell on its head.
"Hehehehe..."
Then he immediately turned to a smile, showing a "that’s right, I brought this pervert" expression.
All the tree entities formally joined the sect and completed their dark transformation.
At this point, Li Pu was already waving at them from afar.
"I’ve scouted over there already, no danger."
Captain Xiao’s mouth twitched at his words.
I watched you eliminate the dangers, that scouting isn’t actually called annihilation, is it?
Actually, Li Pu didn’t have much choice; the others weren’t around, and Ugly Little Wolf wasn’t efficient enough, so he had to do it himself.
After greeting, he then turned to collect the cores of these magic tree entities.
[LV1-Ruthless Iron Hoof (C)] 5/100
Passive Effect: After stomping on a target’s face, the marks left will be clearer.
Attribute Requirements: 1~10 Dark + 1~10 Wood
Type Requirements: Wind Chaser
Species Requirements: Magic Tree Entities
A skill that’s pretty useless, but as a C-level resource, it’s good enough to sacrifice.
So Li Pu sacrificed this resource to No. 2.
Although it’s max level, [Treasure Accumulation] can still absorb energy.
Sacrificing more can help upgrade his [Stone of Human Demon] sooner.
"Junior, I didn’t even know you had such powerful Summoner skills."
At this moment, all the tree entities approached.
It looked like [Sprint], but seeing the ground covered in magic beasts told you it was definitely not just [Sprint].
Didn’t you see most of the magic tree entities were smashed into pieces?
"Oh, nothing special."
Li Pu waved his hand.
Actually, he’s been researching stronger Summoner skills recently, self-creating [Gravity Field] Stage 4.
The concept is already taking shape, but it needs more theoretical exploration and then extensive practice.
Once mastered, he feels the power will be immense.
After cleaning up the magic beast remains, the three of them rode the Pig Vehicle to hit the road again.
No one expected this outing, once they left the camp, to last several hours.
During this time, they scouted out many magic beast assembly points, characterized by wide distribution with each point having around 200 magic beasts.
The setups at each location are somewhat like a small-scale troop assembly ahead of a larger army gathering.
Only under Li Pu’s lead, scouting ended up being cleaning up operations.
If not him, then Ugly Little Wolf went.
Or he would drag Ugly Little Wolf along.
Even vast armies of magic beasts can’t withstand such erosion.
Each 200-beast group cleansed quickly makes the numbers exceed a thousand.
Now, after several hours, Captain Xiao couldn’t bother to calculate exactly how many magic beasts they had cleaned up.
Everyone’s storage space was stuffed full; even the open-back vehicles were packed.
Anyway, since there was no need to hide their trail anymore, they didn’t have to ride the Pig Vehicle, so they switched to No. 2 to act as transport.
However, in the latter stage of the journey, Captain Xiao felt uneasy.
To be honest, this was her first time executing such a wild scouting mission.
Frankly, it felt more like bandits raiding a village.
What’s crucial is that she hadn’t forgotten the base camp still had so many Summoners + magic beasts.
Yet Captain Xiao felt like they were the main force in clearing magic beasts.
Luckily, magic tree entity beasts had few valuable parts, so abandoning those parts wasn’t too regrettable.
Additionally, Xu Zihui dispatched a logistic team skilled in storage and tracking to follow their trail and help clean up the battlefield.
As for Li Pu, he was rather enjoying himself.
As the culprit of the tree-cutting, oh no, lumberjack, he roughly kept count.
In these hours, he encountered at least 10,000 magic beasts.
There were also dozens of different species among the various magic tree entities.
The resources they provided were at least D-level.
Team dungeons are amazing; if it were usual times, collecting so much high-level resources without nearly ten days of continuous runs would be impossible.
Sadly, now he can’t use those resources either, as he has spent all his money.
He has to wait until returning to the Cube Card Metaverse to earn a big profit, then exchange money with Xiu Cang Jia.
As time went on, the number of magic beasts they encountered began to decrease gradually.
Neither the distribution of assembly points nor the number of beasts at each point was significant anymore.
Before long, Xu Zihui’s voice came through the communication orb.
[We’ve been without a magic beast attack for a long time here]
[Now I suspect the BOSS might be an immobile type]
[Just now, swift-legged Summon beasts have been sent out to explore]
[There’s no BOSS in this direction]
After hearing this, the three exchanged glances.
This subtext means the BOSS must be on their side.
Rumble, rumble, rumble...
Coincidentally, just as they were guessing this, the ground began to shake suddenly.
"Hold on tight."
Li Pu frowned, instructing No. 2 to quickly take off.
Boom!
Sure enough, seconds later, a massive tree root burst out from the ground.
It punctured the ground while flipping over the only remaining vehicle on the ground.
[Boing, boing, boing?!]
Don’t be deceived by the Pig Vehicle being a second-level magic beast; it has one fatal flaw.
It can’t turn itself over.
The materials being carried scattered all over the place.
The huge tree root that emerged bore a similarly large tree face, which spat a large glob of green poisonous bile.
Oh wow!
The Pig Vehicle and the scattered materials surrounding it showed signs of melting.
"Oh no! My piggy!"
"Damn, my spoils!"
Captain Xiao and Li Pu simultaneously called out.
There’s no need to search anymore; the opponent appeared directly.
The BOSS is here.
