Chapter 26

The magical beasts in the valley were mushroom-type magical beasts that he had never seen before.

Strictly speaking, mushrooms were not plants, but they were not much different from plants either.

They were all chubby, and their average height was less than one meter with red mushroom caps dotted with round yellow spots, as well as snow-white bodies. Their facial features all grew on their bodies, and they only had hands but no legs. They moved forward by hopping.

There were many types of mushroom-type magical beasts. With Li Pu’s current knowledge, he was unable to identify them.

“Ask the little Treant if it knows about the situation in this valley,” Fortunately, he could ask the natives.

[Cao!]

[Cao, cao, cao!]

[Su!]

[Su, su, su, su]

One side was dancing while the other side was shaking its head. The two communicated for a while.

However, the response Li Pu received from the Scarecrow was not the answer he expected.

The little Zen tree was well aware of the situation in the valley, but it requested that the two of them beat it up before it was willing to speak.

“Good fellow, I didn’t expect you to be so clever. To think you even know how to ask for benefits first,” As Li Pu spoke, he rolled up his sleeves.

This was the reason why they had been looking for the little Zen tree anyway. After all, he felt that they had hit it too lightly yesterday, not enough to compensate for the value of the Wisdom Root.

“Whip it hard.”

[Cao!] Under Li Pu’s command, the Scarecrow pulled out the whip.

“Pa, pa!”

[Sob! Su, su!]

With that, the man and the Scarecrow began to beat up the little Treant.

An hour later, Li Pu sat under a tree, drenched in sweat.

“This is seriously physical work,” He had to admit that he was quite tired doing this.

[Glug, glug, cao…] The Scarecrow responded from the side.

It was in an even worse state. It was so exhausted that it lay sprawled on the ground.

A large bottle of Coke was inserted vertically into its mouth, and the level of the liquid bubbled as it dropped.

[Su, su, su!] On the other hand, the little Zen tree was the most energetic one present.

To be honest, Li Pu had asked the Scarecrow to hold back a little this time. This was because he was afraid that the little fellow’s Fragrance Powder would level up again from the beating. It would not be good if the nearby magical beasts went berserk again.

But now, it seemed that he had been overthinking it.

[Su?] Seeing Li Pu and the Scarecrow’s exhausted looks, the little Zen tree sucked on its finger.

[Su!] In the next second, it had a flash of inspiration. With that, it shook toward the man and the Scarecrow and produced a small amount of golden powder that landed on the two before disappearing into their bodies.

“Hmm?” This situation made Li Pu raise his eyebrows.

Although it was not to the extent that his fatigue was completely swept away, at least 70% to 80% of the fatigue he felt just now had been removed.

[Cao!] The Scarecrow felt the same. It already had the strength to sit up and gulp down more Coke.

It turned out that the little Zen tree was not completely useless.

Although the golden powder had no healing effects, it could relieve fatigue to a large extent. It was clear that it wasn’t the kind of battle-type summoned beast that could fight head-on, but a support-type that could help from the side.

The little Zen tree was already satisfied with being beaten up to this extent today. It wasn’t that it didn’t want to continue being beaten, but the nutrients it had eaten yesterday had been completely digested and transformed into its strength. Even if it continued being beaten, there was nothing more for it to digest.

[Su, su, su! Su, su, su!] While the two of them were resting, the little Zen tree introduced the valley behind them.

Through the Scarecrow’s translation, Li Pu got his answer.

According to the little Zen tree, this Valley was called Mushroom Valley. It was a very casual name, and it sounded more like the little Zen tree had come up with it.

In short, various kinds of mushrooms were everywhere in the valley, as well as many mushroom-type magical beasts.

The Red-headed Mushroom was the most abundant species in Mushroom Valley. They were usually relatively mild-mannered and were considered neutral magical beasts before they were provoked. However, once any of their companions were attacked, they would attack as a group. They were very united.

There were other kinds of mushrooms in the depths of the valley, but their range of activity was relatively far from the entrance of the valley, so they could not be seen here.

“So they’ll launch a group attack? That will be hard,” Li Pu fell into deep thought after hearing the explanation.

First of all, no matter what skill these Red-headed Mushrooms could provide, he wanted it.

After all, in this forest, the only magical beasts that were enough in number to collect the relevant items were the Red-headed Mushrooms other than the Entangled Vines.

Whether it was learning, fusion, or sacrifice, they were all beneficial to the Scarecrow, so he couldn’t miss them.

However, he was not sure about the individual combat power of these Red-headed Mushrooms. Moreover, even if he were to estimate their combat strength based on their weakest, it was still impossible for him to withstand such a large number of them coming all at once.

[Su, su, su!] However, the little Zen tree seemed to have understood Li Pu’s difficulties. It raised its branches.

[Cao!]

The Scarecrow relayed the message and told its Summoner that the little Zen tree says it has a way!

“Oh?” Li Pu didn’t expect the Scarecrow’s little brother to be so useful.

With this, the little Zen tree made another introduction. In its mouth, these Red-headed Mushrooms were very stupid.

In the words of a Summoner, these magical beasts had almost no intelligence.

The little Zen tree could use the fragrance to lure them out one by one for Li Pu to defeat.

“This plan is not bad, but it’s a little late now,” Li Pu still felt that the plan was a little inappropriate.

The Sun had set completely after they had finished beating the little Zen tree. Now, there was only the afterglow of the Sun left, and even the figures of the Red-headed Mushrooms were a little blurry.

[Su!] However, the little Zen tree indicated that this was not a problem at all. It walked to the entrance of the valley with small steps.

Then, it shook its body again, and a large amount of silver powder floated into the valley. The fragrance powder landed on various parts of the valley and stained them, including the bodies of some Red-headed Mushrooms.

The powder provided good lighting, so the whole valley was lit up in an instant.

“Little Treant, you’re not as useless as you look,” Li Pu walked to the entrance of the valley and couldn’t help praising.

[Su!] Although the little Zen tree did not fully understand human language, it could vaguely understand that it was being praised, so it immediately stuck out its chest.

“Well, what are you waiting for? Let’s start,” Since all the conditions were met, Li Pu clapped his hands.

[Cao!] After discussing the plan, the Scarecrow followed Li Pu to the big rock at the exit of the valley and hid.

[Su!] Meanwhile, the little Zen tree carefully lifted its branch arm and gently swung it toward the valley.

Whoosh~

Invisible fragrant powder drifted into the valley and landed before the nose of the Red-headed Mushroom at the outermost area of the valley.

[Gugu! Gugu!] The Red-headed Mushroom’s expression brightened, and it bounced out following the scent.
