Chapter 484 390: The Mysterious Box (2)
"Oh, forget it, since you're so resistant."
Watching its behavior, Li Pu patted its shoulder, "Then it's up to you."
[Weeds!]
The scarecrow's protest was futile and it had to brace itself to step in front of Bu Bu.
[Eat eat eat, eat eat!]
Bu Bu: You cunning little treat, better stand properly.
Bu Bu put its hands on its hips and started commanding with authority.
After saying that, it opened its mouth.
[Ahhhhhhhhhh, eat!]
Don't underestimate its small body, it has a big head, so its mouth is also big.
At this moment, its main body opened its mouth like a small black hole.
[Weeds?]
Clearly, Bu Bu's mouth was empty, but for some reason, the scarecrow found that just one glance had made it impossible to look away.
"This doesn't seem very effective."
Li Pu stroked his chin, standing behind Bu Bu and observing.
So he thought about it and pulled out a can of cola.
[Weeds!]
Just catching a glimpse of the familiar red packaging made the scarecrow a bit excited.
Yet even then, it still couldn't move its gaze away.
Li Pu crouched down and rolled the cola out.
Gurgle gurgle...
The cola started from behind Bu Bu, tracing a large arc, and rolled to the scarecrow's back.
[Weeds!]
The scarecrow quickly crouched down and turned to pick up the cola.
However, even during this process, its eyes stayed fixed on Bu Bu's mouth, causing its neck to turn 180 degrees.
[Bo Weeds!]
Chou Bo: Its neck twisted off!
The ugly little wolf exclaimed in shock on the spot.
It also tried turning its head to mimic the move, only to discover it could do it too.
Not just 180 degrees, but 360, even 720 degrees was no problem.
If necessary, its head could spin like an electric fan without any issue, given it's an elemental type.
"That's impressive."
This time, Li Pu had a more direct understanding of the effect of [Openly Swallow].
And judging by the scarecrow's performance, in theory, if Bu Bu moved fast enough, it might actually twist someone's neck off.
It has [Quick Walk], enabling it to run in circles horizontally.
As for [Flash], it probably wouldn't work. This sort of ongoing control skill might be interrupted by the moment of [Flash].
"Nice, very nice."
For this peculiar skill, Li Pu felt quite satisfied.
It's precisely this kind of unexpected and powerful control that easily catches opponents off guard.
After both the scarecrow and Bu Bu were enhanced, only the ugly little wolf was left.
A suitable item for the ugly little wolf was a battery expected to come from a mechanical-type magical beast.
This battery was larger and heavier than a brick; an ordinary Summoner would probably struggle to even hold it.
The skill it provided also fit the ugly little wolf quite well.
It was precisely the energy-related skill Li Pu had been wanting to supplement for it.
[LV1 - Spare Battery (A)]
Passive Effect: Absorb the Power of Thunder to charge up
Active Effect: Release all charged energy at once, creating powerful currents and supplementing Wind-Chasing energy
Attribute Requirement: None
Type Requirement: Wind-Chasing
Race Requirement: Mechanical
Just like Bu Bu's [Energy Feedback], this [Spare Battery] also targets specific energy recovery.
From a normal perspective, it carries a side effect.
Releasing it causes a powerful current, which isn't beneficial for most mechanical types because it may lead to a short circuit.
Even flesh creatures don't react well to electric shocks.
Fortunately enough, the ugly little wolf isn't afraid of electricity.
An A-Level skill, carrying side effects, its positive effects must be quite substantial.
Just in the recent battle with the Golden Wind Dragon, Li Pu had had enough of the ugly little wolf having to stick its tongue out, make several laps for a running start before using [Black Dragon Transformation].
Now with the [Spare Battery], the problem is swiftly resolved.
It would randomly discharge electricity by itself, perfectly capable of achieving the charging of [Spare Battery].
Maybe it could even absorb the ugly little wolf's urine.
Huh?
Considering it this way, isn't it like putting a diaper on it?
A hat and a diaper; this little guy is really carrying quite a load.
Thinking about that, Li Pu could only express his sympathy.
At this point, all the items plundered from grandpa have been used up.
The Grassmen each gained new skills and upgrades, and their panels have also changed.
Grassman: 0 (8) turn LV30, Listen to the Wind
Strength: 1324, F
Attributes: 10 Wood
Abilities: [Gratitude][Water Film][Forgetful][Dragon Slayer][Weeds]
Skills: [LV3 Snail Grass (C)][LV2 Entangle (B)][LV3 Willpower (A)][LV3 Small Fireball (B)][LV1 Power of Godzilla (S)]
Enchanted Equipment: [Five Elements Ring (S)][Iron Bones (A)]
The Grassman's strength increased the most, from 1000+ to 1300+.
Carrot: 2 turn LV49, Wise
Strength: 671, B+
Attributes: 3 Fire, 3 Water, 4 Swallow
Abilities: [Throwing Bag][Energy Explosion][Barrier Devour]

Enchanted Equipment: [Golden Armor (C)][Lava Heart (C)]
Bubu is not bad either; if you don't compare it to the Grassman, the level grinding rascal, it's already quite powerful compared to other beasts of the same turn and level.
Chou Bo: 2 turn LV21, Chasing Wind
Strength: 396, A
Attributes: 5 Dark, 5 Cloud, 3 Dragon
Abilities: [Cloud Body][Thunder Storage]
Skills: [LV2 Source of Electricity (C)][LV2 Thunder Roar (A+)][LV2 Black Dragon Transformation (A)][LV1 Spare Battery]
Enchanted Equipment: [Spiritual Essence (A+)][Dragon Scale Amulet (S)]
The weakest one is still the little wolf Chou, but its transformation skill is relatively easy to cast, so this original strength is deceptive.
In less than half a day, grandpa's 1 million Crystal Coins were almost used up, and now Li Pu only has 200,000 left.
With more and more summoned beasts, and higher and higher levels, he was now spending money like water.
"Alright, let's call it a day."
Li Pu felt that he had taken everything he could for now and found it a bit dull and uninteresting.
Rumble...!
However, just as he was about to return to his room to rest, a tremor suddenly came from outside.
Its intensity was even stronger than before.
"Oh no, big brother..."
A bad premonition rose in Li Pu's heart.
So he led the summoned beasts to the gate, this time not needing number 1 to open the iron gate because it was already in tatters.
"What kind of thing is it this time?"
Li Pu walked out of the research institute and looked up.
It was a giant centipede as tall as several floors, with half of it buried underground.
The exposed half stood upright, and if you looked closely, you could see two half-human figures on the centipede's head.
The two half-bodies, a man and a woman, were looking down at Li Pu from their high position.
"I am the grand princess of the Female and Male Giant Centipede Tribe in the Jujiang Domain."
Seeing Li Pu appear, the female half-body spoke first.
"I am the grand prince of the Female and Male Giant Centipede Tribe in the Jujiang Domain."
"Your grandfather is currently visiting our tribe."
"After three thousand eighty-five rounds of drinks, he agreed to betroth you to my sister..."
Then the male half-body spoke.
"Go to hell."
[Grass!]
[Eat, eat, eat!]
[Roar Woop!]
Before they could finish speaking, they were interrupted.
...
20 minutes later, the giant centipedes fled in a panic.
"Can't stay in this wretched place any longer..."
Li Pu looked at his clothes, corroded by toxins until only strips remained. He also looked at the even more dilapidated research institute.
If it weren't for his immunity to toxins, he would have been in real trouble.
But continuing like this was clearly not an option.
Even if he could defeat one or two, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't face difficult opponents like three or four in the future.
Looking at the even more damaged research institute, with even the underground structures being exposed.
It seemed his plan to run away from home had to turn into a plan to become homeless.
"Huh?"
But just then, Li Pu suddenly noticed a purple-glowing iron box in the ruins of the research institute.
It stood out in the night.
