Chapter 32

As the leader of this operation, Chang Jiantao had done his homework and conducted a thorough investigation of the Luminous Spider in advance.

Luminous Spider, F-grade spider-type magical beast. It didn’t eat anything alive and only ate various corpses or fruits that had left the trees.

The magical beast was very small, about the size of a glass bead. Coupled with their natural forest protection colors, they were very good at hiding. Only in the middle of the night would these magical beasts come out to hunt for food while emitting a pentagram-shaped light when they were eating.

Therefore, it was very obvious that it was a group of Luminous Spiders in their sight.

However, the Luminous Spider’s light was very weak. It could not illuminate its surroundings, only itself.

Due to the lack of light, the situation on the other end was blurry and unclear. They could only see two figures slowly walking toward them.

“But why are these Luminous Spiders following those two figures?” Chang Jiantao expressed his confusion.

This question also troubled the other students.

The only ones who didn’t have any reaction to this were the guard and the Earth-hearing Beast.

The Earth-hearing Beast could hear things that happened from a long distance away, so it had long known about this situation. However, the occurrence was not rare, so it did not take the initiative to tell its Summoner.

“…” The guard was silent.

To be honest, such an occurrence did happen from time to time.

The Luminous Spiders did not like to eat anything that was alive and only ate corpses. As such, when they found the corpses of magical beasts, they would greedily attach to the corpse to enjoy their feast.

Therefore, whenever the glow of the Luminous Spider appeared outside the South Gate, it meant that someone had returned with prey. Furthermore, it was a huge prey, so huge that it couldn’t be stored in the storage space.

But the problem was that today, other than a new student, no one else went out from the South Gate.

“Could it be that a teacher went out from another gate, then went around to enter through the South Gate?” The guard thought that this was the only reasonable explanation. Otherwise, it must be some senior student.

However, when the figures gradually approached and revealed their true appearances, he was stunned.

It was a cripple and a Scarecrow who were currently dragging a huge lizard-like magical beast.

“H-how could it be him?!” Fulde was the first to exclaim.

At the same time, everyone was also shocked by this scene.

It just so happened that some of them recognized the magical beast.

“F*ck! This is a D-grade magical beast, the Mushroom-eating Lizard!”

“D grade? Wouldn’t that mean that it’s a few grades higher than our summoned beasts?”

“It’s so big, what level would it be at?!”

“This magical beast isn’t moving. Is it dead?”

“That’s impossible, right? He killed it by himself?”

They were simply dumbfounded.

In fact, even the guard couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

His eyesight was naturally better than the students, and he could tell at a glance that the mushroom-eating lizard should be around level four.

However, was it even reasonable that a freshman could single-handedly kill a level four D-grade magical beast before the official start of the school term?

The guard felt that he had not encountered such a situation for at least ten years. Even if he had encountered one before, it couldn’t compare to what he was seeing now.

One should know that that was a D-grade magical beast, and it was not easy to find one in the South Forest.

That guy and his summoned beast didn’t look like they had experienced a life-and-death battle. The fellow didn’t even have any injuries on him, just a crippled leg. However, the key was that this guy was a cripple, to begin with.

When the guard thought of this, his eyebrows twitched.

That’s right, the boy was even a cripple.

Then, he looked at the summoned beast. It looked like a weak Scarcrow.

If he and his summoned beast had truly killed the Mushroom-eating Lizard, wouldn’t that be too outrageous?

After the new students marveled, they were at a loss for words.

They were trying to sneak out by climbing over the wall, but this guy had already returned with a magical beast’s corpse?!

Everyone just watched quietly as Li Pu approached.

His calm appearance made people forget to go up and help.

Only Chang Jiantao’s focus was different. His eyes were fixed on the Luminous Spiders.

“It’s the middle of the night. What are you guys doing standing here? Don’t tell me that you’re waiting for me and welcoming me, right?”

Li Pu walked through the school gate and let go of the lizard’s front paw as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden.

“Where did this old dog come from? How can it be so ugly? Your ears are on the ground. Isn’t that dirty?” The next second, his gaze fell on the Earth-hearing Beast.

[Roar…] Such a rude statement made the Earth-hearing Beast bare its teeth and growl.

“Do you want to eat this?” However, Li Pu simply took out a small part of the lizard’s tail from his storage space.

The way he dragged the beast earlier was wrong, and the tail of the Mushroom-eating Lizard was slightly broken.

[Woof woof!] The Earth-hearing Beast’s eyes lit up as it stood up and wagged its tail.

Its favorite food was lizard tails.

The guard, “…”

“Student, did you hunt this Mushroom-eating Lizard?” The guard asked Li Pu as he sized up the huge corpse.

“Of course not, I picked it up,” Li Pu denied it immediately. He had decided to keep a low profile and not be too flamboyant.

“Did you or did you not? Don’t deny while nodding!” The guard was completely dumbfounded.

“I really didn’t,” Li Pu continued to nod.

[Cao!] The Scarecrow nodded as if to say that it could testify.

“… Forget it,” The guard was too lazy to pursue the matter since it had nothing to do with his duty. There was no need for him to investigate the truth.

“I need to check the condition of the magical beast, and you need to register,” He only cared about following the rules and passed a simple form to Li Pu.

“Alright,” Li Pu took the form and said, “If it’s still breathing, please help me finish it off.”

“…”

When the freshmen heard this, they all hurriedly took a few steps back.

So the big lizard wasn’t completely dead?

Also, the other party was clearly a guard. Why did this fellow treat him like a fishmonger in the market?

Of course, Li Pu’s words were just a precaution.

The appearance of the Luminous Spider was the best proof that the lizard was dead. Besides, even if the Mushroom-eating Lizard was still alive, it would have been dead by now after they had dragged it all the way.

The inspection required some equipment, so the guard had to take the Mushroom-eating Lizard away, for now.

He lifted it and carried it on his shoulder, doing it much easier than Li Pu and the Scarecrow combined.

As for Li Pu, he was told to wait for a while. He didn’t expect that as soon as the guard uncle left, the students who were originally standing in a line immediately surrounded him.

Initially, everyone was curious about Li Pu’s experience, but Chang Jiantao’s words changed the atmosphere, “Fellow student, your name is Li Pu, right? Can you sell one of those Luminous Spiders to me? ”
