Mushroom Spirits (II)
"Sigh, you're right, then let's leave it at that!" Fanxin nodded slightly and said.
There are many difficult choices in the world, but some things you simply have to make a decision about. Otherwise, the problem remains unresolved.
Just like the Man-Eating Mushroom Spirit, if you don't take action against them, more and more ordinary people will die because of them.
If you cherish them, others will suffer.
So, at this point, you must make a decision. You must choose who you want to protect: the Man-Eating Mushroom Spirit or the humans.
If you choose the former, you will suffer a great loss in the latter. Conversely, if you choose the latter, you will suffer a great loss in the former.
Such a choice was difficult. However, Fanxin ultimately chose the latter. Because he was now human, he was more inclined towards being human.
"Okay, let me take charge here. You go and rest for a bit," Ren Fang said.
"Okay, call me immediately after you find the strongest Man-Eating Mushroom Spirit." Fanxin nodded and said.
That's his goal; once he kills the other person, there won't be any problems.
"Okay, go ahead," Ren Fang nodded and said.
Fanxin nodded, then without further ado, went straight to the Little Black Cat's research lab. He wanted to see how the Little Black Cat's research was going.
When he arrived at the Little Black Cat's lab, he saw the Little Black Cat and the Little Fox busy with something.
"How's it going? Any progress?" He really hoped the Little Black Cat could figure it out soon, so he would have a way to target the Celestial Dragons and the Mechanism City.
If they don't figure it out, then he'll have to keep waiting.
"Got it, quite a bit of progress." The Little Black Cat nodded and said, "Hey, what's going on outside? Why is it so noisy? It sounds like there's a fight."
"Yes, we're attacking the Man-Eating Mushroom Spirit," Fanxin nodded and said.
"Man-Eating Mushroom Spirit?" The Little Black Cat paused for a moment, then said, "What the hell are those?!"
It had never seen Man-Eating Mushroom Spirit before, so it had no idea what Man-Eating Mushroom Spirit was.
"Man-Eating Mushroom Spirit are a special kind of mushroom. They look like mushrooms, but like humans, they have thoughts and minds. They feed on human flesh and blood. If you get caught by them, you'll be in big trouble," Fanxin said.
"Are you attacking them because they ate our brothers?" the Little Black Cat asked.
"No, I'm rescuing the island's inhabitants," Fanxin said. "The Man-Eating Mushroom Spirit are going to eat them. If I don't intervene, they'll be eaten."
"I see," the Little Black Cat said. "After all these years, the Man-Eating Mushroom Spirit hasn't been eradicated. I'm afraid it won't be easy to eliminate it!"
This Mushroom Island is very famous; it's heard of it. The island is covered in mushrooms, and no one destroys or attacks them. It suspects there must be something fishy going on.
"Yes, you have to find the strongest Man-Eating Mushroom Spirit before you have a chance," Fanxin said. "But finding it won't be easy. It could be hiding in any corner of this island. If you can't find it, you can't eradicate it completely. If it doesn't die, even if you destroy all the mushrooms on this island countless times, it will still reproduce."
"Heh heh, you really are troublesome," the Little Black Cat said.
"Yes, I don't know either. This time, I don't know if I can eliminate them. If I can't, then it will be troublesome," Fanxin said helplessly.
The strongest Man-Eating Mushroom Spirit, seeing that he had made a move, would definitely try every means to hide.
He couldn't possibly search every single place. If he couldn't find it, the Man-Eating Mushroom Spirit would be able to live.
"Forget it, if we can't get rid of them, then it's fate," Fanxin said. "Alright, let's not worry about that anymore. I've already entrusted those matters to Ren Fang; I'm sure she'll handle it. I won't get involved."
"Alright then, let's do it that way!" the Little Black Cat nodded and said.
"Well, tell me about your progress, so I can know too," Fanxin asked.
"Okay, sure." The Little Black Cat nodded and said, "Boss, although those guys from the Mechanism City are very smart and powerful, they have a fatal flaw. If we don't solve this, they still won't be able to become strong."
"Oh, what kind of serious injury?" Fanxin asked curiously.
"That means after those metals absorb a person's thoughts and abilities, the metal comes to life. Hehe, anything with life is much easier to deal with," the Little Black Cat said. "We have many ways to deal with living things."
"But that piece of living metal is placed in the very core; if we can't break through the outer defenses, it's useless."
He'd fought those guys before; they were definitely not easy to deal with. And they generally wouldn't let you get close, only attacking from a distance. As a result, it was extremely difficult for you to injure them or break through their defenses.
"That is indeed a bit difficult, but if we can break through their defenses, killing them will be a piece of cake," the Little Black Cat said.
The most vulnerable thing is exposed; you can hurt it if you attack it. The difficulty lies in breaking down that layer of defense.
"That makes sense. You can investigate further and see if there's a good way to break through their defenses," Fanxin nodded and said immediately.
Although there was some good news, there was also bad news: the robots' defenses. They knew the weakness of that core metal, and the existence of the Mechanism City must also know it, since it was something they had researched.
Therefore, they will inevitably do everything in their power to protect the core.
It will be extremely difficult for them to destroy that robot team if they don't come up with a better way.
"Okay, I'll do my best!" the Little Black Cat said. "Oh, by the way, while that piece of metal can absorb a person's thoughts and energy, there's one thing it can't absorb."
"What?" Fanxin asked curiously.
"Haki?" the Little Black Cat said. "I had the Little Fox infuse Haki into the metal, but the metal strongly rejected it, which means that the metal cannot absorb Haki."
"As a result, they no longer have the Haki to defend themselves. Boss, perhaps you could try targeting their Haki."
"Isn't that Haki?" Fanxin nodded slightly and said, "In that case, they've lost one layer of defense. All I need to do is break through their outer metal, and that will be enough."
He possesses Conqueror's Haki, and especially since he infused his Haki with it, making it incredibly sharp. If he could get close enough to his opponents, he could probably break through their defenses.
