Chapter 779 - 534: A New Hero Appears_2

"Wake up."

Then he tossed Fu Fu onto the ground.

[Quiet!!]

The first reaction of Fu Fu, startled awake from its sleep, was to spring up, ready to throw a temper tantrum.

That damn turtle man dares to disturb my sleep again!

But when it opened its eyes and saw that it was its master, its arrogance instantly dissipated.

"Smell around, see where they left their scent."

Li Pu pointed at the dozens of tunnel entrances.

Bubu had a great sense of smell, so now they could only rely on Fu Fu.

They were genuine Summoner’s beasts with noses, they shouldn’t let him down, right?

[Quiet?]

However, this request made Fu Fu troubled.

The sense of smell, that was its weak point.

"Tch."

With that, Li Pu was completely at a loss.

[Quiet! Quiet quiet!]

But then, Fu Fu’s eyes brightened.

When it came to smell, taste, and hearing, it was average at best.

Its vision was decent, with night vision capabilities, so it could see far.

The key point was that these tunnels weren’t straight, so good eyesight was useless.

But it had its own method.

So under Li Pu’s puzzled gaze, Fu Fu walked to one of the tunnel entrances, then...

Then it lay down.

"..."

Just when Li Pu thought it was going to sleep again and prepared to kick it, Fu Fu stood up again.

[Quiet! Be quiet quiet!]

It shook its head and headed towards another tunnel entrance.

It turns out Fu Fu’s strong point was rather peculiar, it was its head.

Or more accurately, its head when lying down.

To be most accurate, its scalp when lying down.

Although it could fall asleep under any circumstance, it was actually quite sensitive to its sleeping environment, especially the pillow.

Now it laid down, using the ground as a pillow.

It could sense the subtle vibrations transmitted through the ground with its scalp, and this range was quite far.

"..., this could be considered a bizarre ability."

After hearing Fu Fu’s explanation, Li Pu was a bit speechless.

It felt a bit like the earth-listening beast at the south gate of Xidu University, but also somewhat different.

Anyway, as long as it worked, it was good enough.

It was just that the efficiency was a bit slow, making Li Pu a bit anxious.

It needed to lie down and get up again at each tunnel entrance.

When it got to the fifteenth tunnel, Fu Fu lay there for a particularly long time, almost making Li Pu think it was sleeping again.

[Quiet quiet!]

Fu Fu: Master, there’s the sound of a fight in this passage!

But it hadn’t fallen asleep and finally stood up.

Time was of the essence, and once it got the direction, Li Pu activated [Sprint] without a word, carrying it onward.

I must admit, Fu Fu’s method had an extensive range and was accurate.

After about two minutes of twisting and turning through the tunnels, Li Pu finally saw something.

Except it was a half-eaten body of a defunct mushroom-eating beast lying on the ground.

"Just an ordinary mushroom-eating beast."

He glanced at it and moved on.

After about another minute, Li Pu finally sensed the presence of a living being in front of a bend.

Except this presence...

Not exactly disappointing, but not quite what he was expecting.

It was Chang Shoushang’s presence.

In addition, there was the presence of a mushroom-eating beast amalgamate.

And a somewhat familiar, somewhat indistinct presence?

Most importantly, Li Pu himself had fought against an amalgamate before.

He felt that with Chang Shoushang’s ability, he probably couldn’t handle it.

In his urgency, he tossed Fu Fu aside.

Thud!

The overweight owl fell to the ground, while he himself took a few swift steps to get over.

The scene before his eyes, however, was astonishing.

A larger amalgamate than the one he fought earlier was lying on the ground twitching, with almost half of its body missing.

It was clear that it was dead.

The key point was he waited a few seconds, and there were no signs of revival.

Not far from the mushroom-eating beast amalgamate, Chang Shoushang, pale-faced, leaned against the wall with his cane.

Next to him was an open storage space.

The entrance of the storage space was perfectly perpendicular to Li Pu’s line of sight, thus he couldn’t see inside.

All he could see was a slender arm, like a jade lotus root, stretching out from within.

The open palm, emitting a red glow, dropped a blood-red gemstone.

As soon as these gemstones left the hand, they instantly lost their glow, turning into a dull hue, revealed to be bravery stones.

The arm was tossing out bravery stones one by one that it had bitten off from the amalgamate, something it wouldn’t eat.

Seeing this, even Li Pu couldn’t help but be amazed.

Who would have thought... that their team actually had a brave warrior.

And this warrior turned out to be the Biting Flower that never showed itself!

"So it was a hero of the Biting Flower Realm..."

Li Pu couldn’t help but murmur to himself.

Seemingly due to hearing Li Pu’s voice, or perhaps because all the bravery stones had been tossed out, the arm retracted back and didn’t appear again.

Even Chang Shoushang’s storage space was closed.

As far as he knew, this fellow’s storage space was quite different from that of a normal Summoner; the Biting Flower could control its opening and closing.

"Man, you’re finally here!"

"I was scared to death just now!"

Seeing Li Pu’s arrival felt like seeing a savior to Chang Shoushang.

Completely unaware that he had just killed a highly troublesome magical beast head-on, accomplishing something even Li Pu couldn’t do.
