This Summoner Is Too Powerful

Chapter 641 - 468: Tide of Fire Wraiths_2

"What’s with this little kangaroo..."

"It was bombing everything fiercely just now, I thought it was purely an offensive type."

"Turns out it also has such strong supportive abilities..."

Everyone was a bit dumbfounded.

What they didn’t know was that Bubu was actually just idling until it received a precise instruction from Li Pu, after which it started throwing wildly.

Otherwise, if it used more tricks, these fire creatures wouldn’t be able to approach either.

"Don’t just stand there, start acting."

Seeing all the Summoners and summoned beasts just standing around, Li Pu finally spoke up.

Do they really think his little kangaroo can cast skills without consuming energy?

It just recovers quickly, okay.

"Yeah, yeah, what are you all standing there for!"

"Trying to slack off? Get to work!"

At this moment, Qian Shanshan and Long Ren snapped back to reality and started acting high-handedly.

Actually, the ones truly slacking were the two of them and Wu Guinan. Their summoned beasts weren’t too much affected by Bubu and were the fastest to re-engage in battle.

After all, this trick wasn’t new to them; they were often teased by Bubu’s [Ghost Step].

However, it was the first time seeing [Ghost Step] used on a group, so they reacted a bit slowly.

"Great opportunity, increase long-range firepower, and quickly heal the frontlines!"

Li Yilou’s reaction was quite fast, too.

With Bubu’s support, the massive group of fire creatures finally stopped advancing.

"Strange, why does today’s situation feel different from what the seniors said?"

Tish frowned as she looked at the fire creatures, which not only didn’t decrease in number but kept increasing.

"Indeed, I also asked the juniors for intel before."

"No one ever mentioned such a large wave of fire creatures near the dungeon portal."

"They didn’t even guarantee encountering a fire creature wave 100% of the time upon entering."

Gu Zhe also found the situation a bit fishy.

Things were becoming weirder and weirder, causing everyone to heighten their vigilance secretly.

The main issue was that since this wave of fire creatures appeared, they couldn’t advance even a few meters.

If it weren’t for a few wind-elemental summoned beasts in the team serving as the main output and healers, they might have run out of stamina already.

"This can’t go on, let me send my drone to scout."

After persisting for a few more minutes, Wang Fengmang suggested.

One of his summoned beasts was a drone summoned from the Mechanical Department, highly mobile and suitable for silently killing fragile targets and reconnaissance tasks.

Seeing that no one objected, he let the drone take off to start exploring.

Boom!

As soon as it reached a sufficient height, a fast-moving fireball shot out from the fire creature wave in the distance, hitting the drone.

"Damn!"

Wang Fengmang cursed on the spot, watching his drone shatter.

Before it even hit the ground, it turned into blue light and dissipated.

Its high mobility and killing power come at the cost of a fragile frame. If it encounters a tracking attack, it can easily get into trouble.

"Looks like there’s something else hidden among these creatures."

"This is troublesome..."

"The problem is we can’t find where those peculiar ones are."

The group tried to find them with their eyes but couldn’t see past the dense crowd of fire creatures.

"That was too fragile."

Li Pu muttered on the side, a bit disappointed in the drone’s performance.

Granted, the magical beasts in this dungeon were relatively strong.

But being knocked out with one hit indicates the drone is too fragile.

A flying mechanical summoned beast was supposed to be his target for his fourth contract.

While thinking about this, he suddenly heard a commotion behind him.

Turning around, he saw fire creatures crawling out of some ruins.

Though not as numerous as those in front, there were about a dozen.

"Damn everyone! Look behind us!"

Gu Zhe was also very sharp, the second to notice the situation after Li Pu.

[Roar Roar Gah!!!] xN

The snarling of the attacking creatures from behind made everyone turn pale.

The key issue was that, while dealing with the wave of magical beasts in front, they had left the back quite unguarded.

Even the summoned beasts were far away, certainly not closer than this group of ambushing fire creatures.

"Dammit! They even know tactics?!"

Li Yilou’s face darkened immediately.

"What a drag, what a bore."

"Well, now we can’t run even if we wanted to."

Wu Nianxiang and Zhang Liuliu were as indifferent as ever.

"Everyone, gather around me!"

Long Ren’s [Barrier] was about to play its role.

It protected everyone, giving the summoned beasts time to protect them.

However, at the explosive power of these fire creatures, he wasn’t sure how many explosions his [Barrier] could withstand.

"Thank goodness you have this skill."

"You’re unexpectedly reliable."

"Finally, we get to experience your [Barrier]."

Everyone was talking as they obediently hid within Long Ren’s [Barrier], but then they suddenly noticed something.

That was...Li Pu was standing outside, not coming in.

"Li Pu?"

Li Yilou was slightly taken aback.

"Why aren’t you coming in? It’s dangerous outside!"

Liu Sha Fa seemed a bit anxious.

"Dangerous, it’s really too dangerous!"

"Get in, get in!"

"But he’s lame, how can he be fast..."

The top ten inside the protective barrier thought maybe it was because he moved too slowly, leaving Li Pu unable to make it inside the protection in time.

At this point, Li Yilou and others shot blaming looks at Long Ren.

Why were you in such a hurry? Couldn’t you wait until everyone was inside before activating the [Barrier]?

Now you’ve locked him out!

Thinking this, they noticed that Long Ren didn’t show any signs of guilt, but instead had a... slight smile?

Similar expressions were on Qian Shanshan and Wu Guinan’s faces, showing no worries at all.

Besides them, Gu Zhe wore a puzzled look, having somewhat experienced Li Pu firsthand.

"Don’t judge him by his limp, he can run pretty fast."

At this moment, Wu Guinan calmly said.

But saying something like this only made the others think it was nonsense. If Li Pu could run fast enough, why didn’t he enter the [Barrier]?

No sooner had the thought arisen than they actually saw Li Pu running.

And he really was fast.

But... he was actually running in the opposite direction towards the fire creatures?

"Huh?!" xN

In an instant, everyone’s heart was in their throat.

What did this mean, was he planning to take on a group of magical beasts alone?

Did he think these were those low-level magical beasts without a single transformation?

The City of Eternal Fire is the toughest dungeon for sophomores, even the weakest magical beast here has considerable strength!

Not to mention these fire creatures with self-destructive attacks surpassing their own strength.

Even Wu Longqian and the others were exchanging glances.

Qian Shanshan: Can his [Hardening] withstand it?

Wu Guinan: I don’t know either.

Long Ren: Could he get hurt or something?

They started to worry as well since they didn’t know Li Pu planned to engage in close combat.

Just then, they saw a fire creature directly engaging Li Pu.

At this closer distance, they were astonished to find these fire creatures’ movements swifter than imagined.

[Roar Roar Gah!]

It lunged at Li Pu with claws and teeth bared, even with organs bursting out through body gaps, looking quite disgusting.

Yet, Li Pu moved with surprising agility, sidestepping it nimbly.

When those familiar with his attack style thought he’d unleash a powerful sidekick next, Li Pu instead clawed with his fingers, grabbing the flaming head exposed beneath the fire creature’s partially open maws.

"Oh, this!" xN

The sight of him grabbing fire with his bare hands took everyone’s breath away.

Wasn’t he afraid of getting burned?

Crack...!

Contrary to their imagination, no scorched scene appeared. A thin layer of firm ice instantly covered that fire creature, turning it into an ice sculpture.

Meanwhile, Li Pu moved with afterimages, quickly weaving through the fire creature horde.

In no time, they were all frozen in place, their flames long extinguished.

"...Huh?" xN

Witnessing this, everyone was dumbfounded.
