Chapter 39

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

Jules was a very patient person. She hid in the dense canopy and squatted for more than an hour.

It was only when the sun was high in the sky that she saw a figure approaching from afar. It was the little Zen tree.

At this time, its body was full of wounds, but if one looked closely, one would find that the wounds had basically healed, leaving only scars on the bark. In contrast to its sorry state, its small steps were full of energy as if it had just had a good time.

Upon closer inspection, one would notice that there were a few more new leaves on the crown of the tree. It should have leveled up again.

“So it’s the little Zen tree,” Jules, who had thought that she would encounter the magical beast that was secretly eating the food, could not help but be a little disappointed.

Buzz…

Upon detecting the little Zen tree’s aura, the big stone that was a feeding machine opened automatically, revealing the rich food that had just been replenished.

Although it was called “food”, it was actually just a large tank filled with concentrated nutrient solution. However, to the Treant magical beasts, this was the most delicious food.

Following this, Jules witnessed the little Zen tree gobbling up the food.

After finishing almost all of the concentrated nutrient solution, the little Zen tree’s body became round, and it became a fat Treant.

“Isn’t it afraid of dying from overeating?” When Jules saw this, she couldn’t help but think.

No wonder the feeding machine was emptied so quickly. Was this guy possessed by a hungry ghost? To think it finished all the nutrient solution in one meal.

The little Zen tree didn’t take root and rest as Jules had expected. Instead, it found a leaf the size of a watermelon and scraped the rest of the nutrient solution from the tank onto the leaf.

Then, it carefully carried the big leaf like it was carrying a bowl of soup and quickly left. Coupled with its small steps, it looked like an obedient wife.

“This is strange,” Seeing this, Jules decided to follow the little Zen tree.

With that, she followed the little Zen tree.

After walking for about 15 minutes, she finally saw two figures.

At this moment, there was a crippled boy who was moving by the stream. Next to him was a Scarecrow with a bundle of rattan whips on its shoulder, looking quite arrogant.

“… No way,” When she saw the boy and the Scarecrow, Jules finally understood.

After thinking about it, she felt a headache. Could it be that ever since the competition, the boy and his Scarecrow had been coming to beat up the little Zen tree every day?

The reason why she felt a headache was that if they continued at this rate, she would have to come here every day to replenish the nutrient solution. Thinking about the fact that she may have to spend more than an hour on the way back and forth every day, Jules’s face turned bitter.

At this time, the boy, the Scarecrow, and the tree met by the stream, but they didn’t notice Jules.

[Su, su!]

The little Zen tree wanted the Scarecrow to try the nutrient solution. It raised the large leaf that was holding the concentrated nutrient solution.

To think a royalty of the little Zen tree was trying to please a Scarecrow. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, Jules wouldn’t have been able to imagine it.

[Cao?]

The Scarecrow looked at the pool of jade-green crystal-like liquid on the leaf and couldn’t help but feel curious. So it took the big leaf and took a small sip.

[Cao!]

In the next second, it spat it out. The taste of this thing was 11000 times worse than that of Coke.

[Su, su?]

The little Zen tree sucked on its finger, looking aggrieved and puzzled. Why didn’t the Scarecrow like the nutrient solution? It was clearly delicious.

[Su, su!]

The little Zen tree immediately looked towards Li Pu, asking the crippled boy if he wanted to try it too.

“Can I eat this?” Li Pu surprisingly understood what it meant.

To be honest, the color of the liquid was quite attractive.

He thought of the fact that he had half of his bloodline was that of a summoned beast. It shouldn’t be a problem for him to try the solution, right?

So, he reached out his finger to take a dip before putting it into his mouth.

“There doesn’t seem to be anything special about it,” Li Pu didn’t find anything unusual after he tasted it. The taste of this thing was no different from the dew he had drunk before.

[Hahaha cao!]

However, the Scarecrow pointed at Li Pu and suddenly laughed. It roared with laughter as it laughed at its Summoner’s green tongue.

“Umm…” Li Pu looked at the stream and saw that it was true.

It seemed like he couldn’t just eat the food of magical beasts as he pleased. Fortunately, only his tongue had turned green, and there were no other side effects.

However, to his surprise, the swelling on his left foot seemed to have subsided a little. It seemed that the unknown liquid had some effect.

[Cao!]

While Li Pu was looking at his reflection, the Scarecrow fed the little Zen tree a mouthful of Coke, but the latter spat it out directly.

It seemed that even though they were both plants, their tastes were very different.

The rest of the time was spent beating up the little Zen tree.

This little Treant had given him a lot of help yesterday, and if he wanted to carry out more activities smoothly in the South Forest in the future, he needed the help of this native. So, Li Pu decided to treat it well and beat it up with more force.

With that, the boy and the Scarecrow took turns beating the little Zen tree from a fat Treant to a small Treant before they finally stopped.

[Su, su, su!]

The little Zen tree expressed its thanks. Being satisfied, it danced as it sprinkled gold powder on the boy and the Scarecrow.

“Hu…” Li Pu let out a long breath and found a random place to sit down, “Tell it that I still want to go to Mushroom Valley.”

[Cao!]

[Su!]

The translating Scarecrow communicated with the local tree guide for a while, then conveyed the message to Li Pu.

[Cao!]

The Scarecrow told its Summoner that the little Zen tree said that his request was “no problem”.

“That’s good.”

Li Pu didn’t come out this time just to earn money. Or rather, it wasn’t to earn money immediately.

To do a good job, one must have a good tool. If he wanted to do whatever he wanted in the South Forest, he couldn’t do it alone. The Scarecrow’s combat strength had to be further improved. Only with enough strength could they collect materials in the South Forest more steadily and effectively, moving towards his target of 500000.

Mushroom Valley was currently the only place that Li Pu knew had magical beasts that lived in groups.

Yesterday, when the Mushroom-eating Lizard was chasing him, he had paid attention to the surroundings in the valley.

Other than the Red-headed Mushrooms, there were also some other mushroom-type magical beasts. If there were enough of these other mushrooms, he should be able to continue to get more related items. Then, with the remaining crystal coins he had, he might be able to strengthen the Scarecrow again.

“It’s already so late. Aren’t they planning to return to school?” Jules frowned as she watched the boy and his Scarecrow walk in the opposite direction of the school.

She still had a lot of work to do today. She couldn’t keep wasting time like this, right?

“Right, there’s still Li Fan,” Fortunately, she immediately thought of someone. If she remembered correctly, she had the new teacher’s number in her phone.
