This Summoner Is Too Abnormal - Chapter 25

Chapter 25 Discovering a Horde of Magical Beasts

Unlike yesterday’s situation, it was close to noon now, and there was no fog at the edge of the forest.

Moreover, the berserk nature of the plant-type magic beasts had long since receded. Yesterday, the rampage had only lasted for slightly more than an hour, and the forest was now peaceful and quiet.

This would undoubtedly make Li Pu’s next move more convenient.

“But How can I find the tiny Treant in this vast forest?” The only problem was that he didn’t know how to start. The only way he could think of was to go deep and wander around.

[Cao!] The Scarecrow patted its chest, telling Li Pu not to worry.

With it around, it could smell the scent of its little brother from far away.

Other than the Rolling Turtle, the little Zen tree had also become its little brother. This made Li Pu suspect that his summoned beast wasn’t any ordinary grass-type summoned beast, but a very social one.

Thus, the man and the Scarecrow walked into the forest. Since they were aimless, they might as well take their chances and go deeper.

Although the fog had obstructed their view yesterday, Li Pu felt that he must have met the little Zen tree in the depths.

[Deng~ Deng~ Deng~] After walking for a while, they heard a strange sound in front of them.

Soon, the figure of the other party appeared in the dense forest. It was shaped like a large spring that was as tall as an ordinary person. It was grayish-green in color and hopping as it moved through the forest.

Li Pu had encountered this type of magical beast yesterday, so he recognized it.

It looked like a spring, but it wasn’t. It was a snake.

Its scientific name was the Bouncing Snake, non-toxic, and had a mixture of metal and wood attributes. Its main method of attack was by relying on its elasticity to collide with the target. One shouldn’t be fooled by its leisurely appearance. Once it started fighting, its speed and strength were quite impressive.

[Cao?] The Scarecrow immediately looked at Li Pu and requested to fight. It had just obtained a new skill and wanted to practice it. “There’s no hurry. Let’s go,” Li Pu shook his head, showing no interest.

Yesterday’s experience made him realize a fact. That was: Unless he encountered a group of

magical beasts like the entangled vines, fighting a single magical beast would not have

much significance to him.

This was because he would usually have to

collect one hundred portions of materials from these weak fellows before they could be

considered as a related item.

If he were to rely on these solitary magical beasts to obtain materials, God knows when he

would be able to get a full set.

The Bouncing Snake was a relatively mild and neutral magical beast. It did not have high intelligence and did not have any sense of

territory. When it wasn’t in a berserk state, it would only be interested in fruits or fruit-type

magical beasts, and wouldn’t attack people.

Therefore, the two parties passed by each other

without any conflict.

Li Pu and the Scarecrow continued their exploration. They finally stopped when they reached the center of South Forest.

To be honest, Li Pu had a general direction for this operation. The time spent on the journey now was almost the same as the time spent on finding the little Zen tree yesterday.

The difference was that he had definitely taken a detour yesterday, but he didn’t today. In other words, their current location was definitely deeper into the forest than yesterday.

Along the way, the magical beasts they encountered became increasingly stronger. There were even some aggressive magical beasts that chased after them, but Li Pu

managed to avoid them.

The Scarecrow’s Perception of its 10 wood attributes had already given him a reminder

that the aura of the magical beasts further on was even stronger.

Li Pu had a rough idea of his abilities. If he

continued to go deeper, he might not be so calm and safe anymore.

The purpose of this trip was only to find the

little Treant, not to seek death. Therefore, they adjusted their direction and changed to moving horizontally.

As long as the little Treant’s range of activity

was near this depth in the forest, they should have a high chance of finding it.

They headed east and after about an hour, the

Scarecrow caught a whiff of the little Zen tree’s fragrance.

[Cao~] It raised its hands in celebration and

pointed in a direction for Li Pu. They continued

to head east.

“We finally found it,” Li Pu couldn’t help but

heave a sigh of relief.

In this one hour, they had moved quite a

distance.

His physical fitness was relatively strong, so

basically, his walking speed was the

Scarecrow’s upper limit.

However, the Scarecrow was a summoned beast after all. As such, its physical strength was surprisingly good, and it was also not something that ordinary humans could catch up with. It didn’t rest much along the way.

When it was tired, it would drink a bottle of

Coke and immediately feel much more energetic.

Among the four magical beast zones surrounding the school, the southern zone was the one with the weakest magical beasts, with most of them being around levels 1 to 3.

The weakest monsters in the other zones were

at least level 5, and it was said that some small zones even had monsters at level 20 and above or even close to Rank 1.

Li Pu was not afraid of accidentally entering

the eastern zone if he went all the way east either. After the competition ended yesterday, he had specially looked at the map outside the

school. Between each magical beast zone, there would be an obvious natural terrain that divided

them.

The border between the southern and western zones was a large river, while the border between the southern and eastern zones was a long mountain wall.

As long as he didn’t climb over the mountain

wall, he wouldn’t enter the dangerous eastern zone by mistake.

Now, even though the Scarecrow had smelled the little Zen tree’s fragrance, they were still a distance away from finding it.

As they continued to move forward, Li Pu started to smell the fragrance as well. After tracking for another five minutes, they

finally saw the little Treant. Just like the last

time, it had its head buried in the soil while it shivered.

After the Scarecrow’s explanation yesterday, Li Pu found out that this was the unique hiding

posture of the little Zen tree. To put it bluntly, this guy was no different from an ostrich. It

was obvious that their approach had alarmed it

again.

[Cao!]

The Scarecrow rushed up immediately and patted the other party’s trunk, indicating for the fragrant little fellow to get up.

[Su?] Hearing the familiar voice, the little Zen tree immediately pulled its head out of the soil. It didn’t know that they were the ones who

were coming, but it was now full of joy. [SU!] The two big brothers who liked to beat others up were here again! Originally, it had been wondering when these two would come and beat it up again. It didn’t expect the surprise to

come so quickly. If it was beaten every day, it would become stronger very quickly! With that, the Scarecrow and the little Treant began to communicate, but Li Pu didn’t participate, because his attention was completely drawn to another place. It turned out that there was a wide valley

where the little Zen tree was staying today. From the entrance of the valley, one could see

a pile of things moving in the distance. A horde

of magical beasts!

Well then, hadn’t the chance presented itself? Li Pu laughed when he saw this. Could it be that the little Treant could bring

others good fortune such that he could get whatever he wanted?
