This Summoner Is Too Powerful

Bie San tried to escape but couldn’t get through the magical barrier.

Plus, considering the opposition’s mix of strategy and force, he ultimately compromised and took the job.

"An ancient voice?"

Hearing this, Li Pu and Jiejie Master couldn’t help but suspect the Turtle Soul.

Logically, it should be the only one capable of passing through the barrier, so perhaps it also possesses the ability to send others inside it.

So, what exactly is this guardian beast?

A puzzling matter.

As for Bie San’s origin, there’s no real mystery.

Xidu University is relatively close to foreign territories within the federation, and this great river naturally connects to them.

Li Pu had previously heard that occasionally corpses of alien races or magical beasts from foreign lands get washed down the river.

Perhaps Bie San is adept at swimming, hence not drowned.

"And those skeletal beings, what’s their story?"

After getting familiar with Bie San, Jiejie Master continued querying.

"These creatures were already here when I arrived."

"Most of the time, they roam around quietly."

"But sometimes, for a few days, they become exceptionally violent."

"They not only attack me, but might even attack each other."

Bie San explained.

"In fact, these purgatory skeletons haven’t even reached level 1."

"But I think they’re related to that cocooned form."

The two walked aside, as Jiejie Master commented.

This barrier’s setup dictates that once the cocooned form and its derivatives reach level 1, it triggers a prohibition that directly launches a destructive attack on them.

Though these purgatory skeletons aren’t at level 1, unable to verify their connection to the cocooned derivatives using this rule.

Still, he’s pretty certain.

"Hey, you two."

"Would you like to visit my place?"

At this moment, Bie San extended an invitation.

"Living inside the barrier for so long, he must know much about this place."

"Let’s go check it out."

Jiejie Master decided.

"Sure."

Li Pu agreed.

Thus the two accepted Bie San’s invitation, following him deep into the mountain woods.

At a mountain’s base, they arrived in front of a small wooden cabin.

"This cabin of yours is quite something, isn’t it?"

Standing in front of the cabin, Jiejie Master instantly spotted the barrier patterns.

It’s a defensive barrier that can protect the cabin and Bie San inside from attacks and disturbances by magical beasts.

"I built it under guidance of that voice; I don’t quite understand the principle."

Bie San rubbed the back of his head, displaying a sheepish demeanor.

"Come on, have a seat inside."

And with that, he pushed open the door.

Leaving the bulky Number 2 outside, Li Pu entered with his summoned beasts.

This was just an ordinary small wooden cabin, equipped with complete living facilities.

"Are you two hungry?"

"I have seaweed tea and seaweed biscuits here."

Bie San brought out refreshments.

Even the scarecrows had their own shares, though they surely wouldn’t eat them.

"Is there seaweed here?"

Jiejie Master raised an eyebrow, sipping the tea.

The taste was salty, sweet, with a clean freshness unique to the sea.

To be honest, the mixture unexpectedly tasted good.

Then he bit into the seaweed biscuit, surprisingly delicious too.

Not only was the saltiness spot on, but also accompanied with savory, flavorful meat stuffing inside.

"It’s very tasty, I love it."

His eyes lit up, offering ample praise.

This Bie San is perhaps not what he seems; his culinary skills seem decent.

"Haha, if you like, just eat more."

"I’ve long grown tired of it myself."

Bie San laughed bashfully upon receiving the compliment.

He even pushed his share to Jiejie Master.

"You take it."

Li Pu noticed Jiejie Master’s fondness and handed over his share too.

Such peculiar things weren’t his cup of tea.

"Wow, I’ve stuffed myself!"

Having consumed three servings of tea and biscuits, Jiejie Master contently patted his stomach.

"Now, can you speak up?"

By the side, Li Pu observed Bie San’s hesitant demeanor.

"Hahaha, was I so obvious?"

Bie San scratched his head awkwardly once more.

Quickly, though, his expression grew solemn: "Can you two do me a favor and help me with one more task?"

"Well, tell us first, burp."

Jiejie Master and Li Pu exchanged a glance, releasing a satisfied burp.

"Here’s the thing..."

"Aside from managing this world, I was also assigned another task."

"Which is to take care of the young lord residing deep within these regions."

Upon hearing this, Li Pu and Jiejie Master showed no obvious emotion, but felt a slight jolt inside.

Something’s fishy.

Definitely suspicious.

Young lord, what young lord, in this day and age?

If there’s another being within this barrier, it’s undoubtedly that organic form.

Why would anyone specifically capture Bie San to attend to the cocooned form?

Suspicious, immensely suspicious.

Clearly, there’s an internal situation within this barrier world that they’re unaware of.

"But lately those creatures have been quite agitated, as you’ve just seen."

"So I can’t approach the young lord’s dwelling, and I don’t know his current situation."

"May I ask you two to check whether the young lord is all right?"

Bie San expressed his plea.

"Alright, we’re free anyway."

"Where does your young lord reside?"

Li Pu nodded.

Checking on the cocooned form was one of their tasks.

Now they’ve been given directions, which suits them perfectly.

"Thank, thank you both!"

Bie San seemed overjoyed.

Subsequently, Jiejie Master subtly inquired about the inner structure of the barrier.

Unfortunately, Bie San seemed completely unaware.

Finally, Li Pu and Jiejie Master proceeded on the road under Bie San’s guidance.

As for Bie San himself, he didn’t join them.

Stating he had management tasks to handle, and his lack of strength might slow them down.

Li Pu and Jiejie Master didn’t mind.

The duo continued their journey, based on the directions given.

As before, they walked while observing carefully.

Those purgatory skeletons appeared with increasing frequency.

Yet, with a few casual actions, the scarecrows dispatched them all, posing no threat.

"These magical beasts are weak, but their density distribution is quite high."

Standing over a pile of purgatory skeleton remains, Jiejie Master frowned.

"Jie Teacher says, does Bie San’s management job also include cleaning their remains?"

Li Pu nudged a tibia bone with his toe.

Earlier Bie San mentioned these creatures occasionally attack each other during their berserk phases.

They indeed witnessed it firsthand; two purgatory skeletons even fought to mutual destruction, dismantling and collapsing to the ground.

What’s strange, though, is that aside from witnessing fresh skeletal remains, they’ve encountered no old remains since entering the barrier.

"Might as well include that; can’t be magical beasts who remove them."

"Aside from these creatures, seems no other magical beasts exist here either."

Jiejie Master didn’t bother about such details, shrugging.

But as soon as he spoke, he sensed a tightness around his ankle.

"Eh?!"

Looking down, he discovered a decayed hand tightly grasping his leg.

Thump!

Li Pu kicked the hand away, sending it flying afar.

"Teacher, be careful."

He pulled Jiejie Master back repeatedly.

[Zombies!] xN

Soon, shadows began crawling from underground.

Other magical beasts, they’ve arrived.

Zombies, dormant underground have no presence at all, even difficult for Li Pu to detect.

Moreover, these beasts favor subterranean ambush attacks.

In no time, they got encircled by a swarm of zombies.

Yet their strength was still low, even at a revived state, not reaching level 1.

Li Pu disregarded them.

Even if a few hundred thousand more showed up, it’d make no difference.

"These, these are...!!!"

But when Jiejie Master glanced at the zombies, his face turned pale.
