Chapter 464 - 381: Scarecrow’s Paradise
The off-road vehicle drove for about 20 minutes and arrived in front of a valley.
The top of the valley was sealed with something similar to a plastic greenhouse. Before the vehicle even drove in, Li Pu felt a warm breeze blowing towards him.
"This is the breeding area, filled with mild-tempered magical beasts."
"And the area isn’t as big as it is inside the high walls. We can switch to another mode of transportation."
Boss Pang stopped the car and took out some floating boards from the trunk.
The floating boards are simple to operate and easy to master, and their speed isn’t too fast.
Even the scarecrow and the ugly little wolf got two boards each, while Bu Bu didn’t need any.
"This area mainly focuses on plant-type magical beasts."
Standing on the floating board and drifting forward, Guan Heshi started to introduce the area to Li Pu.
"Yes, and feeding the plant-type magical beasts is relatively easy."
"It only requires a fixed pipeline."
Boss Pang floated at the front to lead the way.
"These magical beasts are quite interesting."
After moving just a few meters, Li Pu saw a rather intriguing magical beast.
In front of him appeared a tree with several lanterns hanging from it, about two or three meters tall.
He originally thought these were street lights installed in the valley, but on approaching, he discovered that the tree also had features resembling a tree spirit’s.
The light emitted by the lanterns shone warmly on the skin, giving a soft and indescribable comfortable feeling.
Looking farther ahead, there was one of these trees every now and then.
"This is a lantern tree, and its light has a calming effect on the mind."
"Moreover, it also promotes healing for some external wounds."
"Their main customers are clinics, summoner training halls, and such places."
"I’ve planted them along the road in this manner, so they can also serve as street lights."
Boss Pang smiled as he introduced them.
[Grass?]
The scarecrow curiously stepped forward and rubbed the lantern tree’s bark.
[Lantern, lantern?]
The lantern tree’s light flickered slightly, and it extended a branch to shake hands with the scarecrow.
[Grass!]
Scarecrow: Summoner, Ben Cao has recruited a new little brother!
The scarecrow looked excitedly towards Li Pu.
"..."
To this, Li Pu could only be left speechless.
How did just a handshake make it your little brother?
"Lantern trees, as magical beasts, are actually a bit shy and bashful."
"Your scarecrow’s affinity is evidently very strong, being able to communicate with it on the first try."
Boss Pang watched the scene and chuckled.
Yet, his gaze shifted and caught sight of the ugly little wolf at the base of the tree, lifting its hind leg.
[Howl Bop!]
Immediately afterwards, the ugly little wolf shivered fiercely.
No choice, after all, it’s a tree, isn’t it?
Tree roots are the best marking spots, seeing them just ignites the urge to pee!
"Oh no."
At this point, Li Pu realized he had been careless, and it was too late to stop it.
Crackle and sizzle!
A streak of lightning shot directly at the lantern tree.
[Lantern!!]
The result was somewhat unexpected; the lantern tree’s eyes flashed with light, its trunk straightened, and the lanterns on its branches became brighter.
"Lantern trees are one of the rare magical plants that like electricity."
"Occasional electric shocks stimulate their growth."
Standing next to them, Guan Heshi crossed his arms and explained.
"Phew, you scared me. I was really afraid it would spoil them with pee."
Listening to Guan Heshi’s explanation, Li Pu let out a sigh of relief.
"Pang Brother, can you let it provide some fertilization?"
Seeing the ugly little wolf look visibly uncomfortable staring at the next lantern tree, Li Pu glanced at Boss Pang.
"Sure, of course..."
Boss Pang got a bit dry-throated from the sudden scene.
What kind of species is this cloud wolf, why can it pee electricity?!
To think that he had personally fertilized the lantern trees, and it wasn’t just any regular electricity that could make them react like they did just now.
That means this little wolf’s pee (?) is special?
Earlier in the valley, he underestimated it, thinking it was just a weak summoning beast...
[Howl Bop~!]
Having received permission, the ugly little wolf dashed out.
[Eat eat eat!]
Bu Bu followed closely, biting onto its head.
Crackle and sizzle! xN
[Lantern~]
Very quickly, each lantern tree received the ugly little wolf’s mark.
When it comes to peeing, it’s remarkably enthusiastic.
"Let it be, let’s continue."
Watching the ugly little wolf run further and further, Guan Heshi nodded to Boss Pang to continue leading the way.
"Oh, oh, okay."
Reminded, Boss Pang got back on the floating board and continued guiding them on the tour.
There are many forks in the valley, but they’re all dead ends, except for the main road.
This kind of environment is simply a natural base for farming, with different magical beasts planted in every alley.
Most are plants, though some are beasts that are not too active.
They all share a common trait, which is being docile.
Along the way, Li Pu encountered many different plant-type magical beasts.
There are vines that can directly bear crystal coins; as explained, their biggest benefit comes from flowering and fruiting, producing crystal coin fruits.
However, the growth environment and breeding requirements are quite stringent, so they cannot be planted in large numbers.
Tree-like chairs, which differ from other trees, reproduce quickly but have a short lifespan.
