At this moment, Li Pu was holding two broken pieces of green vine, slightly dazed.
Actually, these vines were not very tough for him.
He could easily pull them apart with force.
What really caught his attention was that he had found a related item again.
[LV1-Entangle (F)] 1/100
Active Effect: Generates vines, wrapping around the target
Attribute Requirement: 5 Wood or more
Type Requirement: None
Race Requirement: None
It's just that the quantity of this vine seems to require quite a lot.
Perhaps because these vines are much weaker than the Taiji Tortoise, a large amount is needed to form a sufficient related item to consume.
Looking at the costs, they are still considered cheap, Acquisition/Fusion/Sacrifice are 500/1000/500 Crystal Coins respectively.
In terms of Acquisition, the price difference between A-level and F-level related items is worlds apart.
The prices of Fusion and Sacrifice, however, are the same.
Unfortunately, Li Pu currently has nothing, 0 Crystal Coins.
"The scarecrow's reinforcement skill, here it comes."
Lining up the skill effect, Li Pu visualized the scene in his mind.
First use [Entangle] to control the target, then use [Grass Snail] to greatly increase the hit rate.
Only the specific effect needs to be tested in practice.
"Even if there's no money, first gather the materials."
He looked up, and before him, there were at least a hundred and eighty students entangled by the vines.
It shouldn't be difficult to gather enough for 100 sets.
"Li Pu, help me!"
At this time, Wu Guinan called out for help from the side.
He and his Rolling Tortoise were both trapped by vines and couldn't break free for the moment.
[Grass!]
Also unscathed was the scarecrow, holding a soda and looking around like a tourist.
Perhaps it's because of the strong wood affinity from having 10 wood attributes, it wasn't attacked.
Li Pu lent a hand, quickly freeing the summoned duo from their predicament.
"Thanks."
Wu Guinan patted the dirt off his body, looking a bit disheveled.
Seeing Li Pu putting the broken vines into his storage space, he couldn't help but laugh: "So you also know this magical beast."
"? No, I don't know."
Li Pu seemed slightly taken aback by the words.
"Did you collect it just out of curiosity?"
Wu Guinan knew this magical beast, so he started explaining.
"This is the Entangling Vine, a rootless plant-type magical beast that resembles a snake, usually buried underground."
"When prey ventures into its territory, it suddenly attacks."
"It wraps its prey to death and then slowly decomposes and digests it, so it does pose a certain level of danger."
"However, this magical beast is very weak and not very intelligent."
"The good thing is that the vine's core texture is nice, tender, juicy, and said to have a hint of sweetness, making it a favorite snack for many herbivorous summoned beasts."
[Grass!]
"But I'd advise you not to try it, since it's a magical beast, eating it would upset a human's stomach."
However, before Wu Guinan could finish speaking, Li Pu, who wasn't really concerned, had already moved to the side of a classmate entangled by the vines.
"Classmate..."
The female classmate hadn't had a chance to say anything before she saw Li Pu bend down.
Rip...!
The stubborn vines were torn apart by his hand.
The rescued female classmate blushed on the spot.
However, still without a chance to speak, Li Pu had already walked away.
Look at that handsome face, and those strong arms.
Even his limping way of walking was, well... quite special.
"Let me help too!"
The female classmate chased after him, wanting to help rescue the next entangled classmate.
"No need, I can do it."
However, this action was immediately stopped by Li Pu.
You, with your slender arms, legs, and waist, want to snatch materials from me?
This is a skill reserved for my household scarecrow, how can I let it go to someone else?
Rip...!
So he deftly tore the vines and held them tightly in his hands, then swung his arm.
"You all go ahead, no help is needed here."
"I'll cover the rear!"
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding entangled students showed expressions of gratitude.
"Classmate, thank you so much!"
"You're so selfless!"
"Thank you, thank you!"
"A good person will be safe for life!"
At that moment, everyone started to thank him.
Actually, the number of Entangling Vines hidden here wasn't too many, and coupled with their limited abilities, they could only entangle around a hundred people at most.
The large group that hadn't been captured had already hurriedly passed through this area.
Those left behind were basically the unlucky ones entangled.
If no one saved them, it would definitely take some time to break free, and they might undoubtedly end up at the bottom.
In no time, Li Pu had rescued more than ten classmates.
All these classmates expressed their gratitude and wanted to stay and help other trapped people, but without exception, they were all driven away by him.
"Li Pu, that's enough, right?"
However, just as Li Pu was planning to continue assisting, Wu Guinan approached.
"Don't forget, this is a competition."
He deliberately lowered his voice so as not to upset the surrounding classmates: "The ones you're saving now are your competitors later."
Upon hearing this, Li Pu shook his head.
"We are classmates, don't say such things."
He also lowered his voice, responding righteously.
"Uh, this..."
Upon hearing this, Wu Guinan suddenly felt a slight electric current running through his skin.
So this Li Pu is such a selfless person.
In comparison, he felt so small.
Shame, he felt so ashamed.
After a long while, Li Pu finally, with his own efforts, rescued all the trapped classmates.
During this process, he made new discoveries.
There were some withered and rotten old vines around, which could not be considered related items.
The newly grown, too-thin fresh vines also were not considered related items.
It seems that the Friend of Magical Beasts still has certain quality requirements for related items.
This also shows how powerful the A-level Taiji Tortoise was, being able to provide skills even after becoming a relic for so long.
At this moment, looking at the 140+ broken vines in the storage space, Li Pu felt satisfied.
This amount far exceeds the requirement of 100 sets.
With this matter settled, he could leave with peace of mind.
He believed that with his speed, catching up with the main group wouldn't be a problem.
"Li Pu, help me!"
Yet just as he was about to set off, he heard the repeated call for help.
Looking back, Wu Guinan, this poor child, was actually entangled by the remaining Entangling Vines again.
"Classmate, please control yourself, this is a competition."
Li Pu left this remark indifferently and turned to leave.
Wu Guinan: "???"
Didn't you just say otherwise!
We agreed that we are classmates!
