Chapter 40

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

Mushroom Valley was once again illuminated by the little Zen tree. As Li Pu walked through the valley, he realized that the mushroom-type magical beasts were avoiding him.

[Su, su, su!]

The little Zen tree expressed that since the cripple had killed the big lizard yesterday, he was now the king of Mushroom Valley!

[Cao!]

The Scarecrow relayed the message to its Summoner.

“Um, can this be any more casual? But come to think of it, is there such a thing?” Li Pu was a little surprised.

In fact, it was because he had just killed the Mushroom-eating Lizard yesterday and its smell was still on him that these mushrooms were very afraid of him now.

However, this was great. It would make today’s operation smoother.

When he was chased by the Mushroom-eating Lizard last time, he didn’t go very deep into the valley, and only found three types of mushroom-type magical beasts. In addition to the Red-headed Mushrooms, there was also a kind of short blue mushroom and a slender white mushroom.

Compared to the many Red-headed Mushrooms, the numbers of the other two types were much less. According to his previous experience, he shouldn’t be able to gather enough to turn into a related item. That being said, at least it would be good to understand the situation.

“Go on then,” Thus, he waved his hand and motioned for the Scarecrow to fight.

[Cao!]

Finally, it’s its turn!

After receiving the order, the Scarecrow raised its arms and looked like it was eager to fight. Now that it was level four, its strength had improved a lot, making it more than enough to deal with a mushroom-type magical beast in a one-on-one fight.

As the little Zen tree had explained, the mushrooms in the valley would not attack people on their own initiative. In addition to the affinity brought about by 10 wood attributes, the Scarecrow was almost in the face of a Blue-headed Mushroom, but the latter still did not have any reaction.

The Scarecrow would, of course, not let go of such a good opportunity.

[Piu~]

Thus, it threw a super slow Snail Grass fist.

[Gugu~]

The Blue-headed Mushroom was still licking the fertile soil of the valley, unaware of the danger.

Bang!

The result was predictable. The Scarecrow sent the mushroom flying with a punch.

Pachi!

In the process of soaring through the air, the Blue-headed Mushroom died and shattered into mushroom fragments.

[Su, su!]

The little Zen tree marveled at the Scarecrow’s might.

“…” Li Pu was speechless, “If you do this, how am I supposed to collect them?”

Looking at the mushroom pieces that bloomed and fell like fireworks, he didn’t even know where they would fall.

[Cao~]

The Scarecrow scratched its head in embarrassment. Then, it took out a bottle of Coke from its body, sat down, and started drinking. Looking at how carefree it was, it seemed more like the Scarecrow was here for an outing and not to take care of magical beasts.

“… What are you doing now?” Li Pu thought that this fellow was trying to slack off.

[Cao!]

The Scarecrow expressed that it was tired and was taking a rest.

It turned out that Snail Grass consumed a lot of Mana. With the Scarecrow’s current capacity, the skill could only be used once at a time.

The remaining Mana it had left was still a little short of casting the skill a second time, so it had to recover as soon as the battle ended.

As a summoned beast of the Wind Listener type, the fastest way to recover energy was to stay put. Since it couldn’t walk, why not sit down and enjoy a bottle of Coke?

“Looks like you’re still not strong enough,” Li Pu shook his head and couldn’t blame the Scarecrow.

However, the situation just now made him realize that even if they attacked the mushrooms now, they wouldn’t be attacked by a group of them. The fact that the Scarecrow was still alive was the best proof.

It seemed like his identity as the “king” of the Mushroom Valley had worked.

[Cao!]

The Scarecrow was recovered!

After resting for a while, it jumped up.

“This time, try attacking this one. Don’t use the slow-motion fist anymore,” Li Pu decided to change the Scarecrow’s opponent and pointed at a long and thin mushroom.

The slender mushroom was the only mushroom-type magical beast that he had seen that had legs. It was about 170cm tall, a lot taller than the other mushrooms.

However, despite its height, its body shape was very deformed. It had a slender body, hands, and feet. Other than its head and mushroom cap, the rest of its body was less than five centimeters in diameter, making it look extremely frail.

If the Scarecrow couldn’t even defeat such a mushroom, it could just crash into a pile of grass and kill itself.

[Cao!]

The Scarecrow, who had been ordered to not use Snail Grass, was not discouraged. It still had other skills.

As such, it pointed at the thin mushroom with its grass hand, and a few vines immediately shot out from the ground before wrapping around the target.

[Gugu?]

However, the mushroom was simply too thin, and with a casual wriggle, it managed to escape from the vines.

[Cao, cao, cao!]

The Scarecrow called for its Summoner, expressing that the enemy was too strong!

“… Please be serious,” Li Pu didn’t know what to say.

[Cao!]

The Scarecrow was a little embarrassed and could only rush up to fight with the other party. In the end, it only took two or three punches for the thin mushroom to be destroyed and split into several pieces.

“This is more like it,” Li Pu walked forward and picked up the longest mushroom stem.

The relevant information immediately appeared in his mind.

[Level 1 – See You Tomorrow (F)] 1/100

[Passive Effect: After dying under certain conditions, you have a chance to revive the next day.]

[Attribute Requirement: None]

[Type Requirement: None]

[Race Requirement: None]

“What kind of skill is this?” Resurrection skills should be very powerful, but Li Pu felt that something was off.

Come to think of it, these fine mushrooms looked a little like… Enoki mushrooms?

“There are too few of them, and we can’t collect enough to gather into a related item,” Even if he wanted the skill, the number of thin mushrooms here was not enough.

He wondered if the guard’s old dog liked to eat this. After all, it looked like the lizard’s tail since it was also in a strip-like shape. Anyway, he would put it in his storage space first.

“Let’s go,” After putting it away, he waved at the Scarecrow and tree.

Mushroom Valley was huge, and there were many places to explore. Who knew, there might be suitable mushrooms in the depths.

They spent the next hour on the road, walking around.

Occasionally, he would encounter other species of mushrooms, but he could only give up because there were too few of them.

At most, he would let the Scarecrow fight and kill one of them, taking the opportunity to understand their information.

[Su, su!]

The little Treant stopped when they reached the middle of the valley. It had been sprinkling light powder along the way, and now it was running out of stock.

“We can only stop here today?” Li Pu felt a little regretful about this.

He raised his head and looked at the moon’s position. It was about nine or ten O’clock in the evening.

[Su, su, su!]

[Cao!]

However, the little Treant told him another piece of news. That was, if they continued to walk forward for a while, the valley would have natural light.

Moonlight Lake was a lake in the valley that would naturally light up at night. Usually, many mushroom-type magical beasts would be gathered there.

It suggested that they should explore the place for the time being.

“Oh?” Li Pu’s interest was piqued when he heard that.
