This Summoner Is Too Powerful

Chapter 688 - 489: Sorry, I’m Also DPS_2

"Eh? Warm!"

Hu Hu looked surprised.

This sensation, he had experienced it before.

It was the effect of healing magic.

"Are you alright?"

Beside him, Mumu finally reacted.

"I’m good, I’m good. Seems like our junior’s mechanical summoned beast really does heal."

Hu Hu waved his hand dismissively.

This statement eased Mumu’s expression significantly: "We have a tank now, and a healer too. The team’s configuration is nearly complete."

Hearing this, Li Pu hesitated to speak.

He wanted to mention that Fu Fu was also a tank, and he himself was a tank, a healer, a DPS, and a support.

"Better not say it."

Wu Guinan patted Li Pu’s shoulder and shook his head.

He meant it was better to wait until it was really necessary to reveal this, otherwise giving too much to the seniors at once might overwhelm them.

So everyone gradually released their summoned beasts.

Mumu’s summoned beasts were three slimes: red, yellow, and blue.

Her slimes were actually quite special.

They were all split from a single slime.

Initially, she had summoned only one slime, which split into two upon reaching a level 2 contract.

At level 3 contract, the two merged back into one, then split into three.

In short, they were very rare, unique, and powerful.

As for Hu Hu’s summoned beasts, they were three tigers of different shapes.

One fat, one thin, one long, each with different attack styles.

The terrain of the Wild Beast Swamp was highly unpredictable, particularly with mud of varying depths everywhere.

If careless, one could easily become stuck, which was extremely dangerous.

During their last expedition here, Hu Hu’s group relied on Mei Kong’s magic carpet summon to remain unharmed.

Fortunately, this time there’s Rollie Turtle.

With its level up, Rollie Turtle has grown larger.

Accommodating their group plus summoned beasts was no issue.

Its wide armored belly can disperse pressure well over the swamp, minimizing the risk of sinking.

Number 2 could also carry them, but Li Pu worried an accidental attack command might cause Number 2 to self-destruct, killing everyone, so he decided against it.

"So, seniors, what are the objectives of this quest?"

Standing on Rollie Turtle’s shell, Wu Guinan asked the question.

He needed a general direction and objective to steer properly.

"In the Wild Beast Swamp, aside from the swamp itself, the greatest threat is the wild beasts."

"Wild beasts have high individual combat power, but they typically roam alone, so as long as we’re careful, they can be defeated."

"If we are truly unable to defeat them, at least fleeing won’t be too difficult."

"However, there’s a special type of wild beast here."

"That’s the tribal wild beasts."

"Tribal wild beasts occasionally migrate, making them hard to locate."

"So the quest objective is to find any wild beast tribe and capture their unique tribal banner."

Imperial University sometimes assigns students tasks that aren’t just photo-taking, such as capturing tokens, like the current wild beast tribal banner.

The location of wild beast tribes is random, meaning there’s no fixed direction.

So Wu Guinan let Rollie Turtle choose a direction at random and proceed.

"If only Mei Kong was here."

Wandering aimlessly in the swamp made Hu Hu miss Mei Kong.

Previously, Mei Kong’s spirit bird was responsible for scouting, but without its guidance now,

"This is easy to solve."

After listening to the seniors’ distress, Li Pu indicated that this wasn’t a problem.

He reached into his pocket, pulling out Model Number 2 again.

"Junior!"

Mumu’s face lit up with joy at this action.

How could they forget that flying mechanical units excel at reconnaissance?

As expected, Li Pu threw Number 2 forcefully into the air, its thrusters spewing flames as it ascended high into the sky, flying off into the distance.

[Rest assured, I’ll complete the task!]

When not in combat, it had flying capabilities, small in size and hard to detect, perfectly fit for reconnaissance tasks.

"Junior, your mecha has so many uses."

"Its healing ability can also do reconnaissance and support. I underestimated it before."

Hu Hu sincerely apologized.

Thinking he should never have underestimated the others, it was no wonder they could defeat the entire Treeman exchange student.

The whole Treeman: I’m standing here right next to you, hello? Am I invisible???

Still, Li Pu wasn’t relaxed either; he felt he needed to stay vigilant.

Constantly reminding himself, when he received intel via Telepathy from Number 2 later, he must scrutinize it thoroughly.

The "likes to lie" tag wasn’t about lying constantly.

Whether it lied depended entirely on its mood, though falsehoods made up a larger portion.

In intelligence work, the most fearsome thing was this sometimes true, sometimes false information.

"Hold on, stop for a moment."

"Something feels off."

Possibly because Number 2’s ascent attracted magical beasts’ attention, Li Pu suddenly sensed the atmosphere around them was unusual.

Although not to the extent of foreseeing the future, with his Spiritual Power enhanced, his crisis awareness—or sixth sense—had become much sharper.

It seemed something was approaching them.

Boom!

Indeed, just after Rollie Turtle halted, a fountain of mud erupted suddenly not far ahead.

[Woohoo!]

A gigantic figure leapt out of the mud fountain.

Though covered in filth, its outline and shape were still discernible.

The magical beast was about tank-sized, overall appearing frog-like.

Its back had a row of fin-like projections akin to a stegosaurus, its crescent-shaped jaw enormous, proportionally far larger than a standard frog’s.

"Everyone be careful!"

"That’s the Laughing Frog!"

Upon seeing the magical beast’s form, Mumu quickly called out in warning.

"Emergency alert! Tanks upfront!"

Hu Hu swiftly jumped off Rollie Turtle’s shell.

"The Laughing Frog is a powerful and dangerous beast in Wild Beast Swamp!"

"In terms of threat level, it ranks at least in the top three!"

"Don’t be fooled by its harmless smile; it’s a master of Illusion Technique!"

"Its skin secretes a hallucinogenic gas, so hold your breath and don’t approach lightly!"

"Furthermore, it has three tongues that can attack us from afar!"

"Be careful!"

He rattled off the Laughing Frog’s characteristics in rapid succession.

"Its greatest weakness is at the midpoint between its two eyes, where its brain is."

"Though its brain is tiny, and its skin thick, hitting it isn’t easy."

"But attacking that spot can cause a brief pause in its actions."

Then Mumu quickly supplemented with its weak point.

Her words hadn’t even finished when they heard a sound from above.

"Received, thanks senior."

Looking up, she saw everyone had jumped down while Li Pu and the owl remained on the turtle’s back.

Soon after, she noted the owl had somehow turned white.

And those incredibly round eyes were emitting a red glow.

Beside it, Li Pu suddenly stretched out five fingers and pressed down...

On the other side, Hu Hu, who had constantly been watching the Laughing Frog warily, saw a yellow line descending from the sky.

Then...

Pspcht!

A fine spray of blue blood shot high from the Laughing Frog’s head.

Thud!

It then convulsed briefly before collapsing into the swamp mud.

Evidently — it was done for.

What’s going on??? x3

Hu Hu, Mumu, and the whole Treeman were momentarily stunned.

What had just happened, it seemed the Laughing Frog got... instantly killed?

They looked at each other, shocked and confused.

Each knew of the other’s capabilities, and it was clear none of them had done it.

So it meant...

The trio’s gaze settled on Wu Guinan, who was revealing a calm smile.

No, it definitely wasn’t this follower.

Their sights shifted away.

Wu Guinan: At least hesitate for half a second, guys!

The remaining answer was obvious.

The only one who had acted was... that cripple!
