This Summoner Is Too Powerful-Chapter 415 - 358: Side Quest

The only summoned beasts present with mid-range capture capabilities were it and the scarecrow’s vines.

"Good job... Ah, ah, ah, ah?!"

Seeing the fire-tongue scorpion succeed, Long Ren couldn’t even begin to celebrate before panic overwhelmed him.

He hadn’t expected the abyss mushroom’s flying force to be so strong that it suddenly pulled the fire-tongue scorpion away with one careless move.

The rope on Long Ren’s body was connected to the fire-tongue scorpion, and when it was pulled away, it took him and the dragonfolk along.

"I’m fine, I’m fine!"

Fortunately, Long Ren made a swift decision and had the fire-tongue scorpion cut the silk.

Thud! x3

As a result, with the safety rope, one person and two beasts were plastered against the rock wall.

"This time we were really lucky to have the safety rope."

Jiang Guiju let out a long sigh of relief.

Who would’ve thought dealing with this abyss mushroom would be so perilous?

[Mushroom, mushroom!] xN

The abyss mushroom in the air hadn’t returned yet when the sound of mushroom calls echoed from above once more, and this time there were more than one.

Li Pu and Jiang Guiju had already formed a tacit understanding, and with just one glance, they confirmed their battle plan.

[Mushroom, mushroom!] xN

At this time, the five abyss mushrooms were rushing towards the mushroom mint, and soon the ones in the lead reached the destination.

[The mushrooms smell so good~] x3

After taking a whiff of the mushroom mint, they immediately fell into a daze.

Just as those mushrooms were about to fall uncontrollably, the scarecrow made its move.

[Grass!]

Having already taken root, it released several tough vines that securely tied the three abyss mushrooms to the rock wall.

[Mushroom, mushroom?!] x2

The remaining two abyss mushrooms that hadn’t yet arrived were startled by this scene and made a peculiar move.

They were actually trying to jump off the cliff.

In the past, Li Pu might have been confused by this.

But not now, as he guessed this might be the abyss mushrooms’ way of avoiding danger.

[Caocao!]

Scarecrow: Sneaky mushrooms, where do you think you’re going!

So the scarecrow acted again, tying the remaining two abyss mushrooms in place.

[Stab, stab, stab!]

[Shell, shell!]

In another cave, the stabby mouse and shell beast worked together to shoot electric Golden Needles, pinning them into a beehive.

"Let me handle this."

Seeing Jiang Guiju about to leave the cave again, Li Pu moved forward first.

In no time, he had collected a total of 38 task pellets from the five abyss mushrooms.

[Mushroom, mushroom~]

Now, only the flying abyss mushroom remained, drifting up and down on the warm wind.

When the warm wind faded, it gradually descended, but when the wind returned, it rose again.

Due to the distance from the rock wall, they had no way to deal with it for the moment.

However, just because Li Pu and the others couldn’t handle it, didn’t mean nothing else could.

While it floated in the air for so long, it finally attracted a white creature.

[Niannian~]

A white creature floated up from the abyss below.

It seemed to possess some intelligence, or perhaps it was simply accustomed to hunting abyss mushrooms, as it stopped moving after reaching an appropriate height.

Hovering in the air, it slowly flattened and spread out like a semi-transparent white sheet.

Plop!

Then the abyss mushroom, after making a few circles, accidentally bumped into the white sheet.

[Time to eat, Niannian~]

The white creature quickly reverted to its original spherical form, wrapping the abyss mushroom, and spiraled with it.

Then the three of them watched as the flying abyss mushroom became more and more lethargic.

[Full, Niannian~]

Satiated, the white creature detached from the abyss mushroom, slowly drifting down into the ravine.

[Niannian~]

The second white creature just happened to float up at this moment.

After being drained by three white creatures in succession, the abyss mushroom finally couldn’t hold on any longer and died.

Its mushroom cap seemed to have lost support, and under the pressure of the wind, quickly crumpled into a ball and then swiftly plummeted into the ravine.

"Seeing it again, I still think these white creatures are quite formidable."

Jiang Guiju watched the abyss mushroom turn into a small dot and finally disappear, seeming a bit shaken.

"If we don’t provoke them, they don’t seem very interested in us."

Long Ren wasn’t too worried.

Only Li Pu’s expression changed several times, as if he was struggling with something.

[Mushroom-Mushroom~] xN~

At this moment, a new batch of Abyssal Mushrooms was drawn out.

"Let’s not talk for now, hide well, and get ready to continue working."

Jiang Guiju was the first to retreat into the cave, only exposing half of his head to observe the situation.

The same old tactic: let Caocao and Long Ren’s fire pincers scorpions use control methods to entangle these Abyssal Mushrooms, then let the stabbing mice and BuBu carry out long-range attacks, and finally send someone over to pick up the task fruits.

After finding the right method, their efficiency was quite high.

In less than an hour, they collected the required number of fruits.

During the process, Li Pu also managed to grab a card of the Abyssal Mushroom, which was pretty good, even a bit of a rare highlight.

[Abyssal Mushroom]

Listen to the Wind, 14 points, C

Attack 10, 100/100, 0/2

[Mushroom Fly-Passive]: When Abyssal Mushroom’s health is below 50%, it casts [Exile] on itself in the next round, once per game

Don’t underestimate this passive; if it can be fused with a powerful card, it might give that strong card a great life-saving skill.

After all, the [Exile] control state can exempt any damage.

However, it was a pity that there wasn’t enough related material.

But Li Pu wasn’t too upset because it offered a useless skill, and missing it wouldn’t be a big loss.

Now that they completed the task, the next step was naturally to leave.

The three of them climbed out of the cave and dealt with the remaining mushroom mints.

"Based on previous experience, most teams probably haven’t completed the task yet."

"If we hurry back now, we should indeed secure a good ranking!"

Jiang Guiju’s eyes showed some excitement.

After all, the points awarded for practical activities were quite substantial, and she needed them too.

"Senior, what is our additional task?"

At this moment, Li Pu asked a question.

"Uh..."

Jiang Guiju hesitated upon hearing this and said, "That one is really too difficult; maybe we should just forget it."

She hadn’t mentioned it because she was afraid the juniors would be tempted; after all, it’s an extra 20 points.

But while the difficulty of ordinary tasks is similar for everyone, the additional tasks might not be.

Because each additional task is released based on the evaluation of the drawn task and team strength, Jiang Guiju found their additional task challenging to handle.

It was better to honestly complete the ordinary task quickly to secure a ranking.

"Senior, how will we know if it’s difficult if you don’t tell us?"

With this reminder, Long Ren also remembered this issue.

"Alright."

Jiang Guiju knew she couldn’t hide it any longer, so she confessed.

It turned out their team’s additional task was to reach the bottom of the trench and obtain a moonstone, which was easily found there.

It’s worth knowing that even the teachers wouldn’t enter this trench lightly.

Let alone whether there are any unknown fierce beasts at the bottom, just the dangers on the way down make it extremely unsafe.

At least that’s how it seemed to her.

"Senior, I want to do the additional task."

But obviously, Li Pu didn’t think so.

Originally, he was somewhat hesitant to go down, but after learning about the additional task, he felt reassured.

Since it’s a school-arranged task, they must have considered the students’ safety.

Going down the trench once would not only complete the extra task but also continue collecting White Tuantuan cards and retrieve the Ugly Little Wolf, an all-win scenario.

"I also want to go."

At this time, Long Ren also stood up.

If Li Pu dared and he didn’t, it would make him seem cowardly.

"This..."

Jiang Guiju looked at the determined expressions of the two and knew she couldn’t persuade them otherwise.

After a round of discussion, they decided to part ways.

Jiang Guiju would rush back with [Sprint] to report back, while the two continued deeper to complete the additional task.

At this moment, on the distant opposite side of the abyss trench.

Teacher Bai was shaping her index finger and thumb into an OK gesture, watching the team’s every move through the circle.

"So they chose to do the additional task; they really have guts."

She lowered her hand and smiled slightly.
