But he knows that if he sends this guy out, most of its focus and time would be spent marking its territory, possibly forgetting the main task and disappearing.

So he can only choose the second option, a scarecrow with [Weeds] that's not easily attacked.

To be honest, his three summoned beasts are all somewhat uncontrollable, so choosing a scarecrow is like picking the tallest person among the short ones.

After all, without a brain, it's relatively easier to command.

Scarecrow: Grass.

"Junior, are you sure it's okay to send it?"

"I just feel... uh, it looks kinda dumb."

Tong Qinxin accidentally blurted out the truth.

It's said that it can defeat the mighty treemen's premium tree, but it still doesn't look like a clever one. Can it really handle the task of scouting?

"Don't worry, this scarecrow is actually quite sly."

Chang Shoushang had suffered losses in daily life, so he wasn't worried about the scarecrow.

Then, not even three minutes after he said this, the scarecrow dashed out of the Mist Bamboo Forest.

[Grass!!!!!!]

While running, it yelled loudly in a panicked voice. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

It's clear that it's extremely frightened at this moment.

"..."

This really left Chang Shoushang speechless.

You little rascal, you're useless.

What's going on inside that can scare the World-Mixing Grass King like this?

Li Pu's confusion was similar.

He was very aware that the scarecrow was someone who wasn't afraid of anything.

Keep in mind, it even dared to bash the likes of Long Zuo.

Ever since it got [Water Film], this guy seemed to have no obvious weaknesses.

[Caocao! Caocao Caocao!!]

Scarecrow: Summoner! Help!!

The scarecrow dashed to hide behind Li Pu.

"Did it encounter some sort of natural enemy that restrains it?"

Tong Qinxin proposed a guess.

Soon, her guess was confirmed.

Because they suddenly saw two figures walking out from the Mist Bamboo Forest.

They both had humanoid forms, even wearing simple clothes, making it hard to tell whether they were mythical creatures or another species.

The difference from humans was that their limbs had no hands or feet but hooves.

Their heads were that of an ox and a horse, respectively.

"No wonder it's scared."

Seeing these two guys, Li Pu understood.

Oxen and horses are both herbivores that scare the scarecrow.

But the current issue is...

"Ox-headed and horse-faced? Feels so familiar."

"In those momentary flashes, I seemed to have seen them before."

Chang Shoushang watched in a daze.

Ox-headed and horse-faced are mythical figures that have been passed down for many years in Hua district.

Later, the appearance of the alternate realm- the Yan realm proved that some things are not entirely baseless and have some connection to Yan realm.

Rumor has it that there's a pair of ox-headed and horse-faced creatures responsible for leading those whose time is up away in the underworld.

Seeing them typically means one's time is running out.

Based on Chang Shoushang's personality, Li Pu could understand this statement.

"What you're encountering... are cows and zebras."

But he pointed out the issue.

These two seemed quite unserious.

If they were ordinary oxen and horses, they would more closely resemble ox-headed and horse-faced creatures.

But cows and zebras?

What does it mean?

Not only from their faces but even their skin exposed outside the clothes looked like cow and zebra stripes.

If they moved on their hands and feet, they would appear indistinguishable from actual cows and zebras from afar.

[Kung Fu Moo!]

[Kung Fu Loo!]

At this moment, the cow-headed and zebra-faced creatures were staring at the scarecrow, drooling.

Suffice to say, the scarecrow had a legitimate reason to fear them; these two creatures truly eat grass.

In terms of aura strength, Li Pu felt that they were barely of the third tier, and if fought, the two combined might not even be a match for the scarecrow.

The fear of them comes entirely from instinct.

"Seems like they might be mythical creatures, but their intelligence appears quite low."

"The aura is that of mythical creatures, not another species."

Tong Qinxin examined the two creatures.

Imperial University had students from other species, so she could differentiate the aura differences.

"But if they are mythical creatures, why aren't they attacking?"

"Judging by their stance, they don't seem like neutral mythical creatures."

Chang Shoushang shared his thoughts.

In fact, Li Pu knows that in front of the scarecrow, there is no such thing as a neutral herbivorous magical beast.

[Kung Fu Moo!]

[Kung Fu Loo!]

Sure enough, in just a few seconds, the two guys charged towards them.

"I'll test their strength first."

Tong Qinxin took the initiative to step forward, signaling her angel to engage in battle.

[At your command! My master!]

The angel, holding a sword and shield, stood in front of everyone, ready to collide with the opponents.

Whoosh!

Only to see the zebra man running slightly ahead, supporting itself on one leg while whipping the other like a whip.

"Huh?"

Li Pu's eyebrows slightly raised as he watched the opponent's footwork.

He was somewhat skilled in the use of kicks, and among humanoid and humanoid-like magical beasts, he hadn't seen such smooth and powerful footwork apart from his own.

Clang!

[Uh!]

The shield in the angel's hand met the horse hoof.

The numbing force in his hand made him groan slightly.

This was enough to prove Li Pu's judgment was correct; the strength of that kick was indeed substantial.

However, the angel was also a 3-turn summoner and suppressed the discomfort to swing a sword at the approaching cow man from the side.

[Kung Fu Moo~]

Unexpectedly, the cow man's reaction was exceptionally swift, dodging the slash and entwining its hooves with the angel's sword-wielding wrist.

Clang!

With such an entwine, the long sword fell to the ground.

"Do these two magical beasts know kung fu?"

Chang Shoushang was taken aback.

While he was exclaiming, the angel was already knocked to the ground.

[Kung Fu Moo!]

[Kung Fu Loo!]

The two magical beasts started stomping fiercely at the angel crouched on the ground.

The earlier kung fu posture was nowhere to be seen.

"Ah, now they look more like street ruffians."

Chang Shoushang quipped.

The scarecrow dared not fight, and the remaining summoned beasts were not good at melee.

In this situation, only Li Pu could step in to save the angel from being trampled by iron hooves.

"Be careful, my junior."

Seeing Li Pu step forward, Tong Qinxin quickly reminded him in a loud voice.

"I noticed they seem to have some techniques, something like 'using four ounces to move a thousand pounds'... huh?"

Before she finished speaking, she saw her limping junior kick the cow man over.

As Tong Qinxin said, they did have some technique.

The cow man indeed tried to use technique to deflect Li Pu's incoming kick.

But... Li Pu's kick was just too powerful.

[Kung Fu Moo!]

The cow man, kicked head over heels, rolled far away, feeling a pain in his heart.

A liquid glowing blue flowed from its mouth, filled with shock.

"Stop worrying about 'using four ounces to move a thousand pounds,' let it try moving ten thousand pounds instead."

Chang Shoushang struck a pose of basic calm composure.

After all, standing here was the same generation as Wu Guinan's seniors.

"Is it really this strong..."

"I've heard not all tree people can defeat him, but I didn't expect him to be this formidable."

Tong Qinxin stood dumbfounded.

Recently, the name of the 'all tree people' has been repeated because of Li Pu.

[Swoosh!]

Upon seeing what happened to its companion and knowing the enemy couldn't be fought head-on, the zebra man fled.

But gaining distance was exactly what Li Pu was waiting for, and tossing a few techniques forward, knocked them both down.

"These two magical beasts are quite strong..."

Tong Qinxin looked at the now subdued two and muttered.

Her angel was a 3-turn A-grade summoned beast, and judging by their aura strength, the two magical beasts should be of equal level.

Yet they were subdued so easily; could they also be A-grade?

The only reasonable explanation was that they indeed seemed to know some combat techniques.

No wonder this place is called the 'Little Kung Fu Realm,' truly living up to its name.

As for Li Pu, while others marveled, he had already started to work on the magical beasts' bodies.

Don't ask.

The teacher loves to eat them.
