This Summoner Is Too Powerful

Chapter 745: Chapter 517: The Scarecrow’s Third S-Rank Skill (Part 2)

Attribute Requirement: 1~10 Dark + 1~10 Wood

Type Requirement: Listening to the Wind

Race Requirement: Magic Tree Human

Other than listening to the wind, there’s nothing else suitable for Caocao.

But being a Friend of Magical Beasts means you don’t have to care about requirements, as long as you have money.

So, placing the cores neatly in front of him, Li Pu pressed one hand on Caocao’s head and reached for the pile of cores with the other hand.

A flash of light passed, and Caocao’s skills changed.

"How about this?"

Upon seeing the result of the skill fusion, he raised an eyebrow.

[Entangle] + [Magic Root Growth] = [Entangle]

It seemed like there was no change, but the details were vastly different.

[LV5 Entangle (S)]: Produces vines

Despite the description being just a simple four characters, the key was that this skill had reached S-rank!

[Grass, grass, grass!]

Caocao: Summoner, Ben Cao has changed!

The fact that Caocao could exclaim this line indicated that it had indeed been greatly enhanced.

"Come on, give it a try."

Li Pu also wanted to see with his own eyes how it performed after reaching S-rank.

[Grass!]

Caocao responded with enthusiasm and moved to the center of the training ground.

Using the new Entangle for the first time, it was also curious about its power, intending to release it fully and see the limit.

It raised its hands high and then slapped them onto the ground.

For 1 second, nothing happened.

Just as Li Pu thought this guy was zoning out again, he suddenly felt the ground vibrating slightly.

Rumbling...

Then came a somewhat familiar sound.

The vibration lasted only for about 2 or 3 seconds, and then a huge bulge appeared on the ground in front of Caocao.

"Oh no."

Li Pu suddenly seemed to recall something.

Boom!

Sure enough, a huge jade vine burst out of the ground.

Its size was not inferior to the original magic tree roots, and it was even better in some aspects.

It broke through the training ground’s ceiling, leaving a big hole.

This hole linking heaven and earth is why Li Pu exclaimed "Oh no."

It seemed like he would have to claim his insurance again.

[Howler woo!]

Ugly Little Wolf: Boss is amazing!

[Such a small scene is nowhere near impressive enough]

Ugly Little Wolf and Number Two were stunned.

FuFu was sleeping, and BuBu was gnawing on Ugly Little Wolf’s head, so they didn’t utter a sound.

Setting aside the damage to the training ground, Li Pu indeed acknowledged the power of Caocao’s new Entangle.

It was not just a control skill anymore but could even be used as an attack skill.

Besides using the giant vine, the previous method of weaving fine vines was naturally retained.

At Li Pu’s suggestion, Caocao tried it out, raising its hands to weave several vine versions of Caocao, BuBu, Ugly Little Wolf, Number Two, and FuFu.

Especially for the mechanical Number Two, these jade-like vines managed to capture many of its details, looking truly lifelike.

At this moment, all these vine puppets were vividly animated, with Vine Caocao in the center embracing its hands while the rest bowed toward it.

"This doesn’t seem any worse than the tree summons from the Tree Senior."

Previously, he thought the vine puppets summoned by Caocao were inferior in vivacity, quantity, and control to the tree people summoned by the Tree Senior.

But now that he had acquired the S-rank Entangle, things were different.

In situations without or with few trees, the quantity of vine puppets from Caocao vastly surpassed those summoned by the Tree Senior.

Having dealt with the Magic Tree Roots, Li Pu also had something else related to use on Caocao.

It was a new product he had found at his trading stand earlier.

A jar of black ink.

The salesperson explained that it came from the ink of a certain luminescent cuttlefish magical beast, and this cuttlefish lived not in ordinary water but in magma solution.

Li Pu bought it because the relevant skill it provided was exactly what he needed.

[LV1 - Ink Eyes (D)]

Passive Effect: Immunity to strong light blindness effect

Attribute Requirement: 1~10 Water + 1~10 Fire

Type Requirement: Breakthrough

Race Requirement: Cuttlefish

With this skill, he would no longer fear the strong light from Number Two.

The skill chosen to fuse with Ink Eyes was, of course, Willpower, which was A-rank on the surface but had effects equivalent to S-rank.

So after a fusion wave, this skill was revamped again.

[Willpower]: Immunity to Fear/Illusion Technique/Poison/Slowness/Imprisonment/Curse/Strong Light Blindness/Mental Attack, greatly increased strength, and underwater breathing

Gaining this new Willpower, Li Pu immediately had Number Two launch a burst of Holy Healing Art light.

[Howler woo woo woo woo!]

[Eat it! How annoying!]

Both Ugly Little Wolf and BuBu covered their eyes and wailed, but he himself was fine.

This round of fusion achieved its purpose perfectly.

Caocao’s task at this point was temporarily considered complete.

Next, Li Pu needed to carry out other operations.

He had collected a lot of things suitable for sacrifice during this period.

Currently, the summoned beasts were in their current reincarnation’s max level state, so these related items weren’t for leveling them up.

Instead, they were for upgrading their skills.

Creatures like BuBu and Ugly Little Wolf had already reached their fourth reincarnation, but still had LV2 or even LV1 skills, which was a bit disgraceful.

So he activated them one by one, aiming to elevate all the summoned beasts’ skills to at least the level equal to their reincarnation count.

Due to the limits of their personal strength, if a skill level surpassed its reincarnation count by too much, a risk of the skill going out of control could arise.

So after this round of upgrades, the final result was:

Caocao’s all skills LV5.

BuBu’s all skills LV4.

Ugly Little Wolf’s all skills LV4.

Number Two’s all skills LV2.

FuFu’s all skills LV2.

It was definitely enjoyable, and much cheaper than buying upgrade light orbs.

But even so, it still cost 1.5 million crystal coins.

Caocao, along with BuBu and Ugly Little Wolf, was the most expensive.

Just the three of them cost almost 1.2 million.

Caocao mainly had three S-rank skills, requiring upgrades for Snail Grass and Godzilla’s Power.

Especially Godzilla’s Power, which was only at LV1.

BuBu and Ugly Little Wolf had many skills, which accounted for the cost.

After completing these operations, there were some related items left, all of which Li Pu sacrificed to Number Two.

This was mainly because it was Nurturing an engram and needed more energy.

Unfortunately, even after sacrificing all the remaining related items, the nurture level rose only from 13% to 33%.

It seemed like enhancing the Stone of Human Demon still had a long way to go.

With all related items depleted and less than 1 million crystal coins remaining, Li Pu decided to begin his next plan.

That was to conduct Possession exploration on Number Two and FuFu.

These two summoned beasts had been following him for some time.

Regarding emotional bonds, they undoubtedly already had none, with both sides trusting and familiar with each other.

With these preconditions, an attempt to use Possession on them could indeed be tried.

Number Two, in particular, since XiuCang Jia mentioned to him before that, if successful, it would be like donning a mecha, which was incredibly cool.

So he called Number Two over, intending to engage in conscious communication.

Conscious communication was the initial and most crucial step of Possession.

Only when both minds reached a resonance could it be successfully completed.

However, Number Two’s inner world required no further description, as it defied explanation.

Based on previous fusion experiences with Caocao and the others, Li Pu could only say that Number Two’s mind was too complex.

He felt overwhelmed as he tried to sync with its consciousness stream for even a few seconds.

At least for the next ten days to half a month, it seemed he couldn’t resonate with this guy and would have to think of ways progressively.

Failing to resonate with Number Two, Li Pu turned his attention to FuFu.

Unexpectedly, FuFu presented a significant challenge, just like Number Two.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t resonate with FuFu like he did with Number Two.

Instead, both consciousnesses connected...and he fell asleep.

Using FuFu’s feather-filled belly as a pillow, it was a particularly comfortable sleep.

He didn’t know how long he slept until he was woken up by someone gently shaking him.

While he was asleep, Caocao had already taken everyone out for a fun time.

Standing in front of him now, surprisingly, was the Tree Senior.

"I’ve been looking for you for a while."

That’s what the Tree Senior said to Li Pu.
