Chapter 30

[Guchi, guchi?] The Mushroom-eating Lizard immediately stopped in its tracks when it saw the other party’s movement.

It had to admit that this was the fastest prey it had ever encountered. The speed at which the creature was running was so fast that it didn’t even seem like a mushroom.

However, it knew that its sense of smell would not lie to it. This fellow had a very strong smell of Red-headed Mushrooms, so it should be a powerful Red-headed Mushroom that had mutated.

The mutated mushrooms were usually exceptionally delicious. This was also the reason why it was so persistent.

At that moment, Li Pu lowered his head and bent down.

This action made the Mushroom-eating Lizard tense up and take two steps back. It knew that the most powerful attack of these Red-headed Mushrooms was to hit it with their heads.

However, the attack that it had expected did not happen. It only saw the other party reach his hand to his left foot and did some kind of action.

[Guchi, guchi…!] Gradually losing its patience, the Mushroom-eating Lizard bared it two rows of sharp teeth.

At the same time, it saw the other party get up again and shake his left foot. A chain-like object that it couldn’t see clearly was flying straight at it.

[Guchi, guchi!] The Mushroom-eating Lizard wanted to dodge, but it realized that its body couldn’t keep up with its reaction.

Fortunately, the other party didn’t seem to be aiming, and the thing brushed past the tip of its nose before falling to the ground.

Bang!

[Guchi?!] After the loud noise, the Mushroom-eating Lizard suddenly lost its balance.

In its panic, it hurriedly retreated, then subconsciously looked at the ground.

With one look, it was so frightened that it quivered. That unknown object had smashed out a considerable pothole on the ground!

[Guchi, guchi?]

Mushroom-eating Lizard was puzzled. Could it be another type of mushroom that was good at long-range attacks?

“Now I feel relaxed,” As for Li Pu, he was stretching his left ankle, looking very comfortable.

In fact, what he had thrown just now was nothing special. The so-called “seal” was just an ordinary weight-bearing belt.

However, the padding inside the belt was heavy. The filler was something he called “super-heavy iron sand”.

Li Pu only knew that the density of the padding was extremely high, but he didn’t know what material it was. This was because his grandfather had specially prepared it for him and had only mentioned that it was the product of a magical beast, but didn’t go into more detail.

As for the reason why he had weights on his left foot, the reason was simple. That was to add some restrictions to his left leg so that his movements could be more coordinated and balanced.

Without the weight restriction, Li Pu’s imbalance between his legs would worsen, causing him to be even more crippled than before.

But at the same time… He was also stronger.

Bang!

While the Mushroom-eating Lizard was still dazed, he stomped his left foot, and the soil on the ground suddenly splashed.

With just one step, Li Pu crossed a distance of five to six meters and arrived in front of the other party. He was currently in his strongest state so far, so the effect of the jump surprised him a little as well.

However, Li Pu immediately reacted and felt quite proud. As long as he was fast enough, did he even need Flash?

[Guchi?!] As for the Mushroom-eating Lizard, all it saw was the other party rushing towards it at an extremely fast speed.

However, the mushroom prey seemed to be looking down on him a little too much.

The Mushroom-eating Lizard raised its front paw, intending to smash this little thing into a pulp. It had eaten a lot of mushroom paste anyway. It knew that they tasted the same.

Bang!

However, before it could swing its sharp claws, it suddenly felt a numbing sensation in its lower jaw.

With the help of the pothole created by the belt, Li Pu occupied a lower ground. Standing in the pothole, his kick was just enough to hit the magical beast’s chin.

One had to know that when one’s body suffered a heavy blow, one might not feel pain at first. However, this was only temporary. In less than a second, an intense pain burst out from the lower jaw of the Mushroom-eating Lizard.

The pain instantly spread through its head and extended to its body.

[Guwooo!] At this moment, its animalistic instinct finally made the Mushroom-eating Lizard feel fear.

Never mind what kind of mushroom it was facing, it wasn’t something it could eat!

“Where are you running to?” However, just as it turned around, it saw a terrifying figure blocking its way.

Why was its “prey” so fast? Was it a Lightning Mushroom?

The Mushroom-eating Lizard’s eyes widened. However, it knew very well that if it surrendered now, it would most likely be finished.

[Guchi, guchi!] So, it used all its strength to let out a huge roar. The shaking sound waves spread throughout the valley, making all the mushroom-type magical beasts tremble in fear.

However, what responded to this roar was a whip kick.

Pa!

Boom!

The huge and heavy body of the Mushroom-eating Lizard was directly sent flying. It crashed into the stone wall of the valley and fainted on the spot!

Li Pu understood the nature of beasts very well. In this situation, the louder they roared, the more afraid they were.

What he really had to guard against was the kind of beasts that did not make a sound in desperate situations. That was because it meant that they were planning to launch a final counterattack.

At this point, he knew that things were not over yet. He had to completely deal with the Mushroom-eating Lizard now, or else it would cause a lot of trouble when it woke up.

Hence, he limped over to the unconscious lizard and what he did next was simple. He only needed to stomp hard.

…

Five minutes later, the dying Mushroom-eating Lizard finally breathed its last.

“Great, now I’m really crippled,” Li Pu sat on the ground, his head covered in sweat.

This thing had tougher skin than he had imagined, and although his left leg was strong, it couldn’t withstand such repeated torture.

His left leg was already swollen, and the swell probably wouldn’t go down for a few days.

“It seems that to maintain the strength of my left leg, I’ll have to get some skills to improve the sturdiness of my body when I have the opportunity in the future,” As he panted, he thought to himself.

However, that was a matter to consider in the future. The problem in front of him now was: What should he do with this Mushroom-eating Lizard?

It had been verified just now that the mushrooms on its back could not be removed, or they would wither and lose their effectiveness in a short time.

However, to ensure that he could continue his activities in Mushroom Valley in the future, he had to get rid of this troublesome fellow. Thus, he could not let the tiger return to the mountain either.

Losing a potential D-grade skill for nothing still caused him to feel quite pained.

“Hmm?” However, as time passed, Li Pu noticed something.

Although the Mushroom-eating Lizard had died, the mushrooms on its back had not withered. Could it be that it had little to do with the lizard’s survival? As long as the mushrooms didn’t leave the lizard’s back, they could continue to be kept fresh?

With this question in mind, he plucked a mushroom. As expected, it withered after a few seconds.

However, the mushrooms on the back of the Mushroom-eating Lizard were still fresh.

“This is easy, then,” Li Pu snapped his fingers.

He only needed to bring this thing back and get the skill when he had crystal coins.

Good plan, wonderful.
