346: Wonderful fungi

Chapter 346: Wonderful Fungal Creatures

Yaoyang City, Eerie Domain Dimensional Control Zone.

Liu Ze and Zhang Cheng gasped for breath, cold sweat pouring down their bodies.

Terrifying, it was too terrifying!

That terrifying gaze, as if a True God was truly watching them, left an indelible fear in their hearts, even after they had escaped the scene.

“Is…is that the legendary Upper Realm person?”

“Are they really the True Gods who Dominator this world?”

Although they had never seen the four True Gods of this era, in their eyes, that Upper Realm person from before was a True God, an existence they could not contend with no matter what.

Especially the tragic state of Old Dog Wang Zhi, which caused an unprecedented impact on their hearts.

The dignified Old Dog Wang was tortured so miserably? And he didn't even dare to utter a sound.

One must know, Old Dog Wang was still quite powerful.

Putting aside his actions, Wang Zhi himself was an excellent Scroll Master.

But such a powerful Scroll Master was utterly defenseless in front of that Upper Realm person.

“What should we do? Will we be hunted down?” Liu Ze worried.

“Don't worry, that noble Upper Realm person rarely comes here; how could he waste time on small fries like us?” Zhang Cheng analyzed, “It’s better to notify Master Wu as soon as possible.”

The two rushed non-stop to the Underworld Club in Yaoyang City.

“Master Wu, is Master Wu here? Something big has happened.”

Seeing the two frantically, the members of the Underworld Club were clearly startled.

Upon seeing the Divine Dog Club's emblem on their bodies, they couldn't help but become wary.

“We are Master Wu’s people.”

Liu Ze and Zhang Cheng were not fools; they immediately released the gold scroll Day and Night Wandering Gods to prove their identities.

The moment they saw the gold scroll Day and Night Wandering Gods, Xue Qingyang and the others were clearly stunned.

“What’s going on? These two actually have the gold scroll Day and Night Wandering Gods on them?”

“Could they really be spies secretly turned by the Vice President?”

As they pondered and discussed, President Xue Lingling rushed over. After seeing the situation, her expression became serious: “What do you want with Wu Xian?”

“Something…something big has happened, the Upper Realm person…it’s an Upper Realm person!” Liu Ze was incoherent.

“Upper Realm person?” Xue Lingling’s gaze sharpened. “Calm down, speak slowly.”

...Green Abyss, this month's special Battlefield.

The faces of the various Club teams were stiff, their expressions as if they had eaten excrement.

“Where is the source mycelium? Why is the source mycelium gone?”

“Impossible, without the blessing of the source mycelium, how could the Great King Fungus maintain such powerful combat strength?”

“Damn it, what exactly happened?” Hu Yunlei’s face was ashen.

Just now, when they exerted all their strength to kill the Abyssal Great King Fungus, they were surprised to find that the Great King Fungus in front of them had already lost its source mycelium.

This kind of “cicada shedding its shell” operation was not strange; it was a common trick of fungal monsters.

But normally, after the source mycelium sheds its shell, the strength of the “pseudo-body” would inevitably be greatly reduced, making it easy to detect.

However, during the recent fierce battle, the Great King Fungus’s combat strength did not fluctuate much.

“Could it be because of Brother Wu’s spiritual scroll?”

Bai Shiqi’s expression changed slightly, and he suddenly realized something.

He had just been wondering why Wu Xian, this meddler, had suddenly slipped away.

Now it seemed that the source mycelium of the Great King Fungus had probably been taken away by him at that time.

But he couldn't understand how Wu Xian had done it.

One must know, the source mycelium was the core of the Abyssal Great King Fungus; it would not be easily revealed unless the battle reached a dead end.

How could it be so easily “stolen”?

The key was that after the source mycelium was lost, the Abyssal Great King Fungus showed no reaction at all.

The more Bai Shiqi thought about it, the more illogical it seemed.

“It couldn’t be that the Abyssal Great King Fungus voluntarily left with Wu Xian, could it?” Su Baichin, from the side, hesitantly proposed a hypothesis.

“It’s possible.” Bai Shiqi took a deep breath.

Currently, only this conjecture fit the logic of the entire matter.

But the question was, how could the Abyssal Great King Fungus voluntarily leave with Wu Xian?

Could it be because of that powerful spiritual scroll?

“Next time I encounter Wu Xian, I’d better keep a close eye on him first.” Bai Shiqi smiled bitterly and shook his head.

In contrast, Hu Yunlei from the Nature Club was much more rigid.

What was originally a sure-win situation ended up being completely undermined; who could tolerate that?

The key was that this feeling of being played with made him inexplicably frustrated… “I understand. I provide you with some mushrooms, and you are responsible for nurturing my growth. Is that what you mean?”

In the cosmos sack space, the reddish-yellow mycelium discussed subsequent cooperation with Wu Xian.

And under Wu Xian’s arrangement, it moved into the pocket mushroom farm, planted alongside Little Red.

“That’s right, in the future, you can use your mushrooms to exchange for various Medicinal Pills with me,” Wu Xian said with a smile, “If you can grow higher quality mushrooms, the transaction price will also be higher.”

“Easy to say, easy to say,” the Great King Fungus understood, “But how exactly will this value be assessed?”

“Mainly medicinal value.”

“Medicinal value?” The Great King Fungus was puzzled.

Wu Xian immediately selected a mushroom from the cosmos sack and stripped out the spiritual structure with medicinal properties from it. “This is the medicinal value I need. Of course, this is just one of thousands of medicinal values.”

The Great King Fungus extended strands of mycelium, carefully examining it, its voice carrying a hint of strangeness, “So you’re after this kind of spiritual structure, after all this?”

“Is there something special about this spiritual structure?” Wu Xian couldn't help but be curious.

“How should I put it,” the Great King Fungus pondered, “It’s a byproduct of our fungal life forms’ growth and development, I suppose?”

“Byproduct?”

“Yes,” the Great King Fungus said, “It’s when we condense the Divine Power core Law Veins, and when we develop incorrectly, we will isolate and revert this part, returning to the previous development node, and re-attempt a new route.

And this medicinal substance you speak of is the residual trace when we isolate and revert.”

“What?” Wu Xian said incredulously, “You can do that?”

What's the difference between this and reloading a save file?

And the medicinal components he needed were merely the residual traces left after a “failed save.”

“Compared to other otherworldly beings, our fungal race indeed possesses infinite fault tolerance,” the Great King Fungus calmly explained, “But correspondingly, we also have some other disadvantages.”

“What disadvantages?”

“Our Law Veins development is more complex than yours. For example, a certain developmental stage might seem correct and useful at the current stage, but after much subsequent development, it becomes completely useless, or even a burden.

The longer the time interval, the more troublesome it is to revert.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian couldn't help but exclaim in wonder, “So, you can actually produce these spiritual structures in bulk?”

“It’s not that easy; it requires consuming cultivation and a certain amount of Origin power, okay?”

“Hey~ If you keep making mistakes, will the efficacy of these spiritual structures become stronger and stronger?” Wu Xian couldn't help but think of something.

“Theoretically, yes, but why would we keep making mistakes? That thing is useless to us; it’s completely a burden.”

“Isn’t there a way to have the best of both worlds?” Wu Xian struggled.

The Great King Fungus was silent for a moment, then replied, “If you insist, there really is.”

“How so?”

“Differentiation and reproduction,” the Great King Fungus said, “Just like humans having children, differentiating into independent, brand new mycelium.”
