Chapter 116 - 113: Dark Plantation

The first Spirit Realm adventure of a dog’s life has finally arrived!Wang Ergou was extremely excited. He was full of fighting spirit, stood tall and confident, and walked steadily. He was ready to embrace the beginning of reaching the pinnacle of a dog’s life with perfect posture!

However.

The moment he stepped into the Dark Plantation.

Er Gou’s legs immediately went weak, and he collapsed on the ground, covering his nose with both paws, wailing, "Awoo, what in the world is this smell? It’s going to take this dog’s life!"

The Dark Plantation is a hidden area that can only be accessed through the Corpse Witch Temple.

This place feels like a huge garbage dump with piles and piles of trash all around.

There’s also a peculiar stench of rotting corpses wafting through the air.

With such a foul odor, not to mention Er Gou, even Jiang Nan was nauseated and felt like retching from the smell.

A dog’s nose is much more sensitive than a human’s.

Er Gou’s nose is even more sensitive than a regular dog’s by countless times.

"Awoo, this dog feels like it can’t breathe. I apply for refuge in the Spirit Beast Space."

"What’s there to take refuge from? It’s just a bad smell, you’ll get used to it. You still need to be useful!"

Er Gou felt as if his dog head was being forcibly pushed into a manure pit and couldn’t be pulled out!

His dog’s life was about to end.

How can he endure this!

Once Jiang Nan forced herself to adapt, she immediately looked around to start observing.

She discovered that this place was different from the Corpse Witch Temple and the Burial Ground.

The ground was covered with bones that hadn’t completely decayed.

Among these bones grew numerous black mushrooms.

The black mushrooms were the culprits emitting the nauseating odor.

These things, Corpse Mushrooms, are a low-level material that can be picked directly.

The garden was filled with them.

How many Corpse Mushrooms could be harvested?

Who knows what use these foul-smelling materials have!

"Huh? There are zombies and skeletons, but they look a bit different!"

Jiang Nan found the nearby monsters moving about. These skeleton zombies were covered in black mushrooms, densely packed and quite horrific, enough to trigger trypophobia.

"These are Corpse Mushroom Zombies and Corpse Mushroom Skeletons, they are level 4 regular monsters."

Just level 4 regular monsters?

That doesn’t seem too worrying!

"Er Gou don’t be afraid, level 4 monsters can be tricky, but for a Great God, they’re not a threat." She comforted the dog and then asked Hang Yu, "These Corpse Mushroom Monsters look so strange, could they possess different abilities than regular skeleton zombies?"

The campus beauty seems to be making progress!

"Their power is the same as regular skeleton zombies of the same level, but they possess a Corpse Mushroom Self-Destruct skill, which is quite powerful. If surrounded, even I can’t withstand it."

"That’s not the most troublesome part," Hang Yu changed the subject, "they appear to be wild monsters, but they’re actually summoned creatures. They don’t drop Spiritual Qi or items after being killed, and you can’t kill them all."

Jiang Nan was surprised, "Really? But if they’re summoned monsters, then what summoned them? I don’t see any other monster activity nearby."

"Well, there’s a Plant Series Monster called the Corpse Mushroom Demon here. They don’t move, but they have powerful invisibility skills, making it impossible to spot them with the naked eye. These Corpse Mushroom Skeletons and Zombies are the Guardians summoned by the Corpse Mushroom Demon."

The Corpse Mushroom Demon is an Elite Monster.

Most are level 4 Bronze Elites.

Some are level 4 Silver Elites.

The Corpse Mushroom Demon generally has: Corpse Mushroom Parasite, Advanced Invisibility, Ferocious Poison Spores, Blast Corpse Fire skills. They’re incredibly troublesome.

Corpse Mushroom Parasite is the skill that summons Corpse Mushroom Skeletons and Zombies.

The Corpse Mushroom Demon releases a large number of Corpse Mushroom Clones. When these clones parasitize skeletons, they infuse them with energy, turning them into Undead and awakening them.

This garden isn’t big or small.

But it’s filled with wandering Corpse Mushroom Undead.

This indicates that there are surely many Corpse Mushroom Demons among them.

However, since the Corpse Mushroom Demons are invisible, they can’t be discerned with the naked eye.

If one mistakenly thinks these Corpse Mushroom Skeletons and Zombies are the only monsters in the area, they’d be gravely mistaken.

"We need to pull out the invisible Corpse Mushroom Demons and avoid fighting zombies and skeletons whenever possible."

Ordinary people can only fumble around, which is not only risky but also time-consuming.

However, now there’s a better choice.

Hang Yu nudged a poisoned to death Erha, "Doggy, what are you doing, don’t waste time. Now is the time for you to be useful."

Sigh.

A dog’s life is tough!

This place is simply hell.

Er Gou reluctantly got up and sniffed around.

"This dog seems to have smelled something different... It smells even worse, but if you distinguish carefully, it contains a touch of special fragrance, like some kind of special medicinal herb."

"Yes, that’s it. The Corpse Mushroom Demon isn’t an Undead, it’s a Plant Series Monster. Quickly find their locations, and there will be plenty of benefits for you afterward!"

"Understood!"

The Husky eagerly perked up at the mention of benefits.

It precisely locked onto the nearest Corpse Mushroom Demon in seconds.

The Corpse Mushroom Demon was hidden well, buried among the pile of bones, completely invisible to the naked eye considering its invisibility and being covered.

Now the real problem is.

Eight or nine Corpse Mushroom Undead were wandering around nearby.

Corpse Mushroom Zombies and Skeletons are all summoned by the Corpse Mushroom Demon.

They’re quite threatening and can’t be killed thoroughly. Once one dies, another one revives. Best to avoid them and tackle the Corpse Mushroom Demon.

Regular Stealth Skills are ineffective against the Undead,

Which is quite troublesome.

Jiang Nan mustered her courage, "I’ll distract them."

"No, your task is to assist me and ensure my health points."

The Husky Spirit immediately felt a pair of eyes on him, and it retracted its neck a bit timidly, "Awoo, boss, you wouldn’t want this dog to deal with these monsters, right? This dog alone isn’t a match!"

"I’m not asking you to defeat them, just to lead them away. With your current speed, you should be able to do it. Besides us, there’s only you, don’t waste time. Go quickly!"

"Awoo, my life, this dog really has it rough."

Despite grumbling about the boss being too commanding, Er Gou knew Hang Yu’s time was limited, so he didn’t waste time, launched off his four legs, and shot out like an arrow.

Jiang Nan was shocked, "His speed is so fast!"

Hang Yu nodded, "Er Gou is already a level 2 Silver Elite. Although his combat power is mediocre, his movement speed doesn’t lose to mine."

Corpse Mushroom Skeletons and Zombies noticed the Husky.

One by one, they circled like sharks smelling blood.

"Awoo, ugly skeletons, ugly zombies, come and chop me!"

"Look at my left-and-right dodging body technique, can’t hit, can’t hit at all!"

"Awoo awoo awoo, if you’ve got the guts, come and chase me. Is that all the speed you’ve got? You’re an embarrassment to the Skeleton Realm!"

The Husky deftly weaved between the skeletons.

He was fast like a black lightning bolt and flexible like a snake, and the skeletons and zombies were too slow to react, making it hard to harm the dog.

If he didn’t have that endlessly babbling big mouth,

Then Er Gou would be a good dog.

"Get ready, I’m going in!"

Hang Yu gave a reminder, took out a Round Shield in his left hand, and took a Bone Spear with his right hand, quickly charging towards the direction where the Corpse Mushroom was located.

Although impossible to discern with the naked eye,

Just attacking according to the dog’s directions should do the trick.

Fierce Strike!

Hang Yu directly launched his skill!

The spear jabbed forward with incredible power.

The pile of bones shattered like fragile glass.

Hang Yu felt he stabbed into something soft, like a lump of elastic rubber, extremely soft yet highly resilient, as he couldn’t completely pierce through it.

Hit!

A black silhouette appeared right in front of his eyes.

It was a gigantic and extremely ugly black mushroom.

That’s right!

This is it!

Level 4 Elite Corpse Mushroom Demon!

The Dark Plantation is a hidden area.

This Corpse Mushroom Demon is a hidden Elite monster.

Hidden Elites don’t necessarily have high drop rates and sometimes don’t drop as much as outdoor Elite monsters, but they usually drop special items.

Hang Yu needs to acquire something from the Corpse Mushroom Demon.

This thing will significantly aid his upcoming plan.
