This Summoner Is Too Abnormal - Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Conquering the Red-headed Mushrooms

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

[Gugu! Gugu!] Just as the Red-headed Mushroom was attracted and jumped, leaving the valley, a few vines that grew out of the ground immediately wrapped around it several times.

[Gugu!] The Red-headed Mushroom immediately let out a cry of fear. Unfortunately, it was too far away from its tribe and no one else had noticed that it had been attacked.

[Cao!]

The Scarecrow cried excitedly to tell its Summoner that it had succeeded!

This was the first time the Scarecrow used Bind on a living target. It seemed that its 10 wood attribute indeed made it quite talented in this area, and it managed to bind Red-headed Mushroom in one try.

“Very good,” Li Pu complimented the Scarecrow casually and went to the Red-headed Mushroom in a flash.

When it came to fighting, he was still better than the Scarecrow.

[Gugu!] However, when the enemy appeared, the Red-headed Mushroom’s originally gentle and even slightly cute facial features suddenly became fierce.

The contrast stunned Li Pu.

At the same time, the Red-headed Mushroom aimed its head at him and launched an attack.

“Pa!” The impact of the skill directly tore the Scarecrow’s vines apart.

The unexpected twist of events caught them off guard.

Li Pu’s reaction was already considered fast, but even he only had time to cross his arms in front of his body.

Bang!

The huge impact sent him flying.

[Gugu!] The successful attack made the Red-headed Mushroom wave its small fists and cheer.

“Ouch …” As for Li Pu, he was in so much pain that he was grimacing.

Fortunately, he was now a Summoner, and his physique was strengthened by the Scarecrow.

If it was the previous him, he felt that the bones in his hands would at least be broken.

It seemed that he had underestimated these magical beasts. He could not let his guard down at any time.

[Su, su, su!] The little Zen tree expressed its concern over the cripple.

[Cao!]

The Scarecrow was furious. To think this damned mushroom dared to hurt its sugar daddy, no, Summoner! Its Summoner was a good Summoner who bought Coke for it every day.

In a moment of desperation, it rushed up to the Red-headed Mushroom and attacked it.

[Cao!]

The Scarecrow intended to let the Red-headed Mushroom take its fist, but the result was that its two grass fists merely spun in circles as they the hit Red-headed Mushroom, like a primary school student fighting.

“Looks like I’ll have to teach it some martial arts some other day,” Li Pu stood up and was speechless at the scene.

[Gugu!]

[Cao!]

With another headbutt from the Red-headed Mushroom, the Scarecrow was sent flying as well.

Pachi!

The Scarecrow crashed into a big tree and then slid down limply.

[Cao!]

The Scarecrow was angered by the arrogant short mushroom. In the next second, it raised its hands and roared as it stood up.

“The Scarecrow is quite tough,” Li Pu nodded his head as he watched from the side. However, the attacks of the Scarecrow alone would probably not be able to deal with the Red-headed Mushroom in a short time.

Therefore, he still used telepathy to tell the Scarecrow to retreat and not get in the way, while he once again went up to fight the enemy.

[Gugu!] Li Pu dodged to the side and avoided the headbutt from the Red-headed Mushroom again.

He had only been hit just now because he had been careless. If he was prepared, he could react in time to such attacks.

“Hmm?” However, before he could swing his fist, he realized that the Red-headed Mushroom seemed to be a little dispirited.

“I see,” The next second, he came to a realization.

There was a high chance that the Red-headed Mushroom was a Berserk-type magical beast. After using its Head Hammer twice in a row, its mana could not keep up.

Therefore, the third strike was released by consuming its life force.

As this magical beast’s intelligence was very low, he estimated that he only needed to make it cast its skills and thus consume its life force a few more times before being able to deal with it without much effort.

Li Pu immediately changed his strategy. He went from taking the initiative to attack to circling the Red-headed Mushroom while slowing down his pace.

This way, it would be easier for the Red-headed Mushroom to aim at him and release its Head Hammer.

As expected, the Red-headed Mushroom continued to use its head to ram into Li Pu, but Li Pu dodged it every time.

After a few rounds, it was close to the end of its life.

[Gugu!] As Li Pu’s fist landed on its head, the Red-headed Mushroom finally couldn’t take it anymore and fell to the ground.

Pachi!

As it fell to the ground, its entire body shattered into several large mushroom pieces.

“Done,” Li Pu heaved a long sigh of relief. This had been really tiring.

[Cao!]

The Scarecrow cried as if to say, “All hail the Summoner!”

[Su!]

The little Zen tree also expressed that the little cripple was the best!

The two who had basically been watching the show the entire time cheered at this time.

“Let’s take a look at the harvest first,” Li Pu didn’t respond to them. Instead, he bent down to check the large mushroom pieces on the ground.

[Level 1 Mushroom Head Hammer (F)] 1/100

[Active Effect: Violently charge forward and deliver a headbutt.]

[Attribute Requirement: None]

[Type Requirement: None]

[Race Requirement: Must have a head.]

“…”

Looking at the race requirement, Li Pu felt that it was quite reasonable. Although he couldn’t think of any magical beasts that didn’t have a head, it was true that headless ones couldn’t use the Head Hammer.

This skill seemed ordinary. After all, Li Pu had personally experienced its power. Therefore, he would not even consider giving it to the Scarecrow.

At the moment, the Scarecrow that was only at Rank 0 could only master 5 skills at most. Learning such a trash skill would only take up space.

As for the fusion, Li Pu felt that he could take a look at its effects.

It wasn’t that he really wanted to fuse the skills, but since this function had a preview effect, it would be a waste not to read it.

[Snail Hammer (E): Activate a charging headbutt with increased power. During this period, the movement will be greatly slowed and has a knockback effect.]

“It’s too useless,” Li Pu was speechless when he saw the first option.

Not only had the skill dropped from C-grade to E-grade, but the “substantial increase” in “substantial increase in power” had also been removed.

It seemed that fusing skills did not necessarily strengthen them.

Then, he looked at the skill’s fusion with Bind.

[Binding Charge (F): charge forward and create vines to bind the target.]

“This is even funnier,” Li Pu didn’t understand what the difference was between using Bind on the spot and using the same skill after charging after a certain distance. Wasn’t the latter just unnecessary?

As expected, this skill could only be used as fertilizer for sacrifices.

Either way, in terms of cost, the money he had left in his pocket could only be used for sacrifice anyway, which was exactly 500 crystal coins.

The price to learn a skill was not only related to the skill’s grade but also the number of skills the Scarecrow had.

In the afternoon, Bind, which was also F-grade, had cost him 500 crystal coins. Now, Mushroom Head Hammer would cost him 1000 crystal coins.

On the other hand, the cost of the fusion seemed to be related to the target. For example, the Mushroom Head Hammer’s fusion with Snail Grass was much more expensive than the fusion with Bind. Either way, he couldn’t afford either option.

The only good news was that the mushroom pieces on the ground were not just one in a hundred of the portions required for the related item.

The two largest pieces were considered one portion each. In other words, he only needed to kill about 50 Red-headed Mushrooms to get the skill.

“Alright, let’s continue,” Li Pu looked at the number of Red-headed Mushrooms in the valley. There was more than enough.
