This Summoner Is Too Powerful

Chapter 750: Chapter 520: What Is This Demon Village?

The five of them entered the portal in single file, and immediately felt the world spin.

Li Pu had gone through many dungeons before, but this time the feeling was far more intense than ever.

In the past, passing through the light gate was a momentary experience, whereas this time it took him about ten seconds before he was fully steady on his feet.

Just as he steadied himself, Li Pu smelled a slightly familiar scent.

He couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was, but the air carried a hint of something he’d encountered before.

"Is this the Demon Village?"

Wu Guinan surveyed the surroundings and found that they were amidst a barren wilderness.

It was overcast, making it impossible to determine the precise time in this world.

The color scheme of the entire wasteland, deprived of sunlight, appeared murky and gloomy.

"I don’t see any demons, but it certainly feels like a demon’s territory."

Long Ren stroked his chin.

"Someone please help me, I twisted my ankle when I landed."

Chang Shoushang was as frail as ever.

"Wait, wait everyone, have none of you noticed anything unusual..."

Qian Shanshan’s expression was particularly grave at this moment.

Among the group, she undeniably had the most experience with dungeons.

She immediately spotted something troubling—here...

"There’s no light gate here."

Li Pu also noticed this.

The light gate is the entrance and exit of the dungeon. If there’s no light gate, it means—they can’t leave the dungeon.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! I hadn’t realized until you mentioned it!"

"Damn! Doesn’t this mean we’re trapped here!"

Wu Guinan and Long Ren exclaimed belatedly.

"Don’t worry, I have enough food in my storage space to last everyone for a year."

Chang Shoushang seemed to accept their predicament more easily and reassured everyone with a Calming Pill.

Previously, no one paid attention when he spoke, but after saying this, he was supported on both sides by Wu Guinan and Long Ren.

Never mind a twisted ankle, even if you were paralyzed, we’d carry you forward without a doubt.

"I conducted an advance investigation of the [Demon Village] yesterday, and none of the senior students mentioned encountering such a situation."

Qian Shanshan remained relatively calm and explained to the group, "However, I have heard that some dungeon mechanisms require defeating a specified boss before the light gate reappears."

This explanation eased the group’s anxiety somewhat.

"Breaking the dungeon’s core should work too."

Li Pu offered his usual approach.

Hearing this suggestion, everyone thought it made a lot of sense.

But the wilderness was vast, and they couldn’t tell which direction to go to find a specified boss or a core; it wouldn’t be easy.

After some discussion, they decided to dispatch a few summoned creatures as scouts to explore.

The chosen summoned creatures were Li Pu’s Ugly Wolf, No. 2, and Qian Shanshan’s Big Scythe Ghostly.

The Ugly Wolf and No. 2 could fly, offering a great advantage in overlooking things from the sky.

The Big Scythe Ghostly was selected for its Ghostly Constitution, making its movements inconspicuous.

However, the Ugly Wolf’s takeoff process was a bit troublesome. Under Wu Guinan and the others’ gaze, it finally managed to fly into the sky.

But before it could fly far, Li Pu called it back.

Because No. 2, after just lifting off the ground, immediately reported back.

[Report to the Summoner, no village was found]

This statement captured Li Pu’s attention as it contained useful information.

Under intense questioning, it finally revealed the truth.

About five kilometers from their location, there was a cluster of buildings that appeared to be a village.

This dungeon is supposed to be called Demon Village, so it seems the real battlefield is over there.

After some preparation, they set off riding on Rolling Turtle.

[Roll!]

Having rested for several days in a cell, the newly freed Rolling Turtle seemed full of vigor, letting out a roar and heading swiftly towards the town.

[Giddy up, Caocao!]

The Straw Man stood atop it, acting as an inconsequential commander.

With a target in sight, everyone felt much more assured, and the summoned creatures were also in high spirits, each doing their own thing on the turtle’s back.

Only the Elemental Fire Sprite held its [Fire Core], pouring flames into it continuously, looking somewhat weak and exhausted, as if about to be drained completely.

The five-kilometer journey was nothing for Rolling Turtle.

Within a few minutes, the village’s building cluster was clearly visible.

[Caocao, go!]

Straw Man: All guests, dismount!

Straw Man recited lines it had learned from somewhere, before jumping down first.

Since the town was now visible, it indicated that a battle was imminent.

The group entered battle formation, except for Fu Fu, who was still lazing around on the turtle’s back, while everyone else dismounted.

Maintaining formation around Chang Shoushang, they advanced steadily.

"Huh?"

However, when they truly approached and could see the village clearly, the group was stunned.

Because the scene they saw was completely unexpected.

This village was just an ordinary, even bustling place.

The residents did not appear to be beasts but rather foreign creatures.

Some were sitting at their doorsteps doing household chores, washing pots and pans, or hanging quilts to dry.

Some were pulling small carts, transporting things along the road.

Some were setting up stalls, hawking and selling their goods.

There were even groups gathered playing cube cards.

Most importantly, they were all... mushroom people.

The features of these mushroom people appeared odd, pieced together in a way that made them look aggressive.
