This Summoner Is Too Powerful

He walked ahead, signaling to Fu Fu to follow.

[Quiet!]

Fu Fu quite liked this kind of environment.

Because it was really quiet.

If they both stood still, they would quickly hear their own heartbeats and each other’s breathing.

The sound of footsteps was clear on the stone pavement.

After becoming mortal, even Li Pu’s leg was no longer lame.

As he moved, he silently counted his steps.

The average step length for a normal person is about 60cm, he wanted to calculate how long this passageway was.

Fu Fu followed quietly behind, the rustling of feathers accounted for most of the sound of their movement.

(499...500...)

When the silent count reached 500 steps, Li Pu estimated they had walked about 300 meters.

But the visibility was so low that the front still showed no end, only the same scene repeatedly.

Bang!

Just then, a heavy sound suddenly resonated behind them.

In this silent environment, a sudden loud noise can easily jolt one’s taut nerves.

Though Li Pu had become mortal, his battle-hardened mindset remained.

So his first reaction was to turn and look.

Fu Fu mirrored his action.

Especially since an owl can almost turn its head 180 degrees.

Then, they both saw a bizarre scene.

On the road they had just traveled, about 100 meters away.

A "Thinker" had fallen down.

Or maybe it wasn’t a fall, because it still maintained its contemplative pose steadily.

"This... looks a bit scary."

Li Pu had to admit, he was a little startled.

It’s a natural physiological response.

Logically, encountering such an anomaly should prompt one to escape.

But since it’s an endless trial and error, he decided to observe first.

So they watched as the plaster statue lowered its head and slowly stood up.

[Quiet, quiet!]

Fu Fu: Master! He’s not wearing pants!

Fu Fu looked shocked.

"Don’t be surprised."

When Li Pu was stuck in a bug, he too wasn’t exactly clothed.

[Quiet, shut it quiet!]

Fu Fu: But Master, you’re really impressive!

What truly shocked Fu Fu was the comparison with the statue, realizing how extraordinary his master was.

Li Pu: "..."

While the two chatted, the plaster statue slowly raised its head.

Two streams of red liquid flowed from its eyes.

Li Pu had only seen blue blood before, but this didn’t prevent him from knowing what this was.

This plaster statue was truly strange.

[Grr...]

Immediately after, the plaster statue let out a low, inhuman growl.

Malice.

The ferocious expression was filled with malice.

"Run!"

Li Pu could now largely confirm that it was hostile, not friendly.

[Grr!]

Seeing them turn away, the plaster statue immediately gave chase.

But Li Pu wasn’t too worried.

Even as a mortal, he still held the record for the entry physical exam’s sprints at Xidu University.

Joking aside, how could he be outrun by a mere statue.

[Quiet, quiet!]

Yet a shadow passed overhead.

With sweat on its head, Fu Fu flapped its little wings, racing past him with big strides.

After all, it was a noble kung fu beast with kung fu king lineage.

Joking aside, how could it be outrun by a mere mortal.

"Damn it."

Li Pu now realized the fundamental difference between a human and a summon beast.

Feeling a bit embarrassed.

But after all, he possessed half summon beast blood.

Fu Fu aside, how could he...hmm?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After running about 200 meters, he heard heavy footsteps behind him.

Looking back, he saw the plaster statue fast approaching!

The thing’s speed was surprisingly faster than both him and Fu Fu!

[Grr!]

After closing the gap by a few more steps, the plaster statue lunged forward, baring its white teeth.

Li Pu couldn’t dodge, getting bitten on the neck.

His vision blurred, and he found himself back in the original room.

[You died from lunging bite]

[Judged as restart]

Buzz!

One second later, Fufu also appeared in a flash.

"Ugh..."

[Quiet...]

Li Pu and Fufu exchanged a look, somewhat speechless.

This level requires them to survive simultaneously; if either one fails, they are considered eliminated.

[Quiet! Quiet and peaceful quiet!]

However, Fufu soon started gesticulating to bring Li Pu a piece of news.

That is, just as it was about to be eliminated, it saw a stone door.

The style of the stone door was identical to the one that opened the first room; it should be the entrance to the second room.

"So, the length of this passage is roughly 1000 meters, then."

After listening to its description, Li Pu felt somewhat reassured.

They encountered the plaster statue pursuer at the 500-meter mark, later ran another 200 meters, which totaled 700 meters.

With Fufu’s Night Vision ability, if they could see clearly in front, it would roughly add another 300 meters.

So if that’s correct, the passage is about 1000 meters long.

"In the time I run 200 meters, the plaster statue can run 300 meters."

"That means its speed is about 1.5 times mine."

Li Pu began doing calculations.

But having only experienced it once might not be enough to be 100% sure.

"Alright, let’s go in and check again."

So, he pulled Fufu and entered again.

This time, they had just walked less than 200 meters...

Bang!

The familiar sound of a heavy object hitting the ground came.

"Run!"

Li Pu pushed Fufu, letting it drag him as they ran frantically.

He had carefully recalled the scene when the plaster statue attacked him; the guy’s power was not something he and Fufu could currently withstand.

So the only way out was to run.

[Gah!]

However, the ending remained the same.

Li Pu, deceased.

Buzz! x2

Two rays of light flashed, and they returned to the starting point.

"Once more."

He twisted his neck and directly pulled Fufu to enter.

Three minutes later, Li Pu was once again deceased.

Buzz! x2

"Tch, let’s go again!"

Three minutes later, Li Pu was deceased again.

Buzz! x2

"Go again!"

Three minutes later, Li Pu was still deceased.

They tried continuously over ten times, without exception, they were all deemed failures.

Eventually, Li Pu even had a delusion, feeling like his neck had gone numb from being bitten.

However, after so many tries, he finally summarized some useful information.

1. Every time they enter the room, the plaster statue’s spawn position is randomly refreshed.

This means, with enough trial and error, they might randomly end up with a late spawn of the plaster statue, allowing a smooth passage.

Their best chance so far was when Li Pu was knocked down within 100 meters of the stone door.

At that time, Fufu was almost at the door.

2. Every time, the plaster statue appears 100 meters behind them.

In other words, at least within the first 100 meters of entering Room 1, they are safe.

Li Pu specifically validated this, spending time touching every plaster statue along the way.

It didn’t trigger any events.

But when they exceeded 100 meters, a plaster statue he had touched previously moved.

3. Neither Li Pu nor Fufu can outrun that guy, and being pounced on by it means certain death.

Currently, there’s no resolution for this.

As for the strange text next to the stone door, he and Fufu studied it several times but still couldn’t make sense of it.

"No choice but to use the dream ability."

In helplessness, Li Pu made this decision.

After all, they’re short on time and can’t really try infinitely.

Honestly, he didn’t really want to use the ability.

This is just the first room; there is still room number 2, number 3, potentially up to number 9.

He and Fufu only have one chance to use their ability.

But now, they can’t worry about so much, it’s better than being stuck in Room 1 forever.

Maybe in Room 2, they can find some clues.

So, Li Pu and Fufu entered the stone door once more.

This time, their luck was relatively good; they walked about 600 meters before the plaster statue emerged.

Bang!

"It’s up to you now."

Li Pu patted Fufu’s belly.

[Quiet!]

Fufu flapped its small wings.
