Chapter 13

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Li Pu held the two broken green vines in his hands, slightly lost in thought.

In fact, these vines were not very tough to him.

If he exerted force, he could break it easily.

What he really cared about was that he had found a related item again.

[LV1 Twisted Bind (F)] 1/100

[Active effect: creates vines to bind the target.]

[Attribute Requirement: 5 wood and above]

[Type Requirement: None]

[Race Requirement: None]

However, the required quantity of the vines seemed to be a little demanding.

Perhaps it was because these vines were much weaker than the Taiji Snail, so a large amount was needed to gather them into something that could be consumed.

He looked at the cost again and found it to be quite cheap. Learning, fusion, and sacrifice cost 500/1000/500 crystal coins, respectively.

In terms of learning, the price of an A-Class and an F-Class related item was as different as heaven and earth.

The price of fusion and sacrifice were the same.

Unfortunately, Li Pu had no crystal coins left on him at the moment.

“Well, isn’t Scarecrow’s reinforcement skill here now?”

Li Pu imagined the effect of the skill.

Using [Bind] to control the target before using [Snail Grass] would greatly increase the hit rate.

However, the actual effect would still depend on the actual practice.

“Even if I don’t have the currency, I should gather the materials first.”

He looked up and saw that there were at least a hundred or so students who had been entangled by the vines.

It shouldn’t be difficult to gather 100 pieces.

“Li Pu, help me!”

At this moment, Wu Guinan, who was next to him, called for help.

He and Rolling Turtle were entangled by the vines and could not break free.

[Grass!]

Scarecrow was also completely fine. It held a bottle of coke and looked around like a tourist.

Perhaps it was because the straw doll’s 10 wood attribute had a strong affinity with wood, so it was not attacked.

Li Pu extended a helping hand and easily got the summoner and his summoned beast out of trouble.

“Thanks.”

Wu Guinan patted the dirt off his body, looking a little embarrassed.

He couldn’t help but smile when he saw Li Pu put the broken vines into his storage space. “So you also know this type of magical beast?”

“No? I don’t.”

Li Pu was slightly stunned.

“Did you collect the item out of curiosity?”

Wu Guinan recognized this kind of magical beast, so he introduced it to Li Pu.

“This is Twining Vine, a snake-like rootless magical beast that usually likes to be buried underground.”

“When a prey enters their territory, they will suddenly attack.”

“After killing the prey, they will slowly digest it. Therefore, there is still a certain degree of danger.”

“However, this type of magical beast is very weak and doesn’t have much intelligence.”

“One good thing about this magical beast is that the texture of its vine core is not bad. It’s fresh, tender, juicy, and a little sweet. It’s the food that many herbivorous summoned beasts like.”

[Grass!]

“But I advise you not to try it. After all, it’s a magical beast. If we humans eat it, we’ll get stomach problems.”

However, before Wu Guinan could finish his words, Li Pu, who didn’t care much, had already come to the side of a female student who was entangled.

“Fellow student…”

Before the female classmate could say anything, she saw Li Pu bend down.

Rip…!

The stubborn vines were torn apart by him.

The female student who had just been rescued blushed on the spot.

However, before she could say anything, Li Pu had already left.

Looking at that handsome face and those strong arms…

Even the way he limped was, was, was, uh…Quite special.

“I’ll help you too!”

The female student chased after him, wanting to help the next student who was entangled.

“No, I’ll do it.”

However, Li Pu immediately stopped her.

He thought, “You’re a beautiful girl with thin arms, legs, and waist, and you want to snatch the materials from me?”

“This is my straw doll’s reserved skill, how can I give it to someone else?”

Rip…!

Therefore, he quickly tore the vine and held it tightly in his hand, then waved his arm.

“You guys go first, I don’t need any help here.”

“I’ll take the rear!”

As soon as he said that, the students who were entangled around him looked touched.

“Thank you so much, classmate!”

“You’re too selfless!”

“Thank you, thank you!”

“You’re a kind person, you’ll have a peaceful life!”

For a moment, everyone thanked him.

In fact, there were not many entangled vines buried here. In addition to their limited abilities, they could only trap about a hundred people at most.

Most of the troops that had not been hit had already passed through this area and were on their way.

Those who stayed behind were basically the unlucky ones who were entangled.

If no one came to rescue them, they would definitely need to spend some time to break free, and would probably be ranked at the bottom.

In the blink of an eye, Li Pu had rescued more than ten students.

These students all expressed their gratitude and wanted to stay behind to help the others who were trapped, but they were all chased away by him without exception.

“Li Pu, that should be enough.”

However, just as Li Pu was about to continue his rescue, Wu Guinan approached.

“Don’t forget, this is a competition.”

In order not to arouse the distaste of the students around him, he deliberately lowered his voice. “The people you’re saving now are all your competitors later.”

However, Li Pu shook his head when he heard that.

“We’re classmates, don’t say such things.”

He also lowered his voice and responded with a righteous tone.

“Ah, this…”

Upon hearing this, Wu Guinan suddenly felt a slight electric current running through his skin.

Li Pu was such a selfless person.

In comparison, he felt so small and…

Shameful. He felt so ashamed.

After a long while, Li Pu finally managed to rescue all the trapped students by himself.

In the process, he made a new discovery.

There were also some withered and rotten old vines nearby, which could not be identified as related items.

Additionally, there were also fresh vines that were too thin and were not considered related items.

It seemed like [Friends of Magical Beasts] had a certain quality requirement for the items.

From this, one could tell how powerful the A-Class Taiji snail was. Even though it had been a corpse for so long, it was still able to provide him with skill.

Looking at the 140 broken vines in his storage space, Li Pu was satisfied.

This amount had far exceeded the requirement of 100 portions.

After settling this matter, he could leave in peace.

He believed that with his speed, it would not be a problem for him to catch up with the main group.

“Li Pu, help me!”

However, just as he was about to set off, he heard a repeated call for help.

Looking back, Wu Guinan, this unlucky kid, was actually entangled by the remaining vines.

“Student, please conduct yourself with dignity. This is a competition.”

Li Pu turned around and left after saying that.

Wu Guinan was baffled.

That was not what he had said just now!

Didn’t Li Pu agree that classmates are to help each other?
