A new cultivation method, the Myriad Poisons Divine Farmer's Canon!
Some mushrooms, like small umbrellas, emit colorful fluorescence.
Some of the mushrooms, like a bunch of blood-red grapes, were still pulsating slightly.
Some mushrooms even grew into the shape of human faces, with painful and distorted expressions on them!
These "Mushroom Person" are none other than the other Cultivator who had mistakenly entered the Blood Mist Forest and tragically perished! After their deaths, their bodies were infected and parasitized by some strange Poisonous Fungus, eventually turning them into these terrifying Puppet devoid of consciousness, only knowing how to attack living beings!
"Roar--!"
A Puppet covered in blood-red mushrooms let out a roar that was not human. Its eye sockets had no eyeballs, only two clusters of eerily glowing mycelium.
It spotted Su Zhan and his group of living creatures, roared, and with twisted steps, pounced madly towards the group!
Its roar was like a signal.
More and more "Mushroom Person" staggered out of the woods.
Ten, twenty, fifty, hundreds...
Densely packed, stretching as far as the eye can see!
They surrounded Su Zhan's troops from all directions, then surged forward like a tidal wave, emitting all sorts of strange roars!
"Fight the enemy! Fight the enemy!" Elder Yuan Ji shouted until his voice was hoarse.
A fierce and bizarre battle erupted in an instant!
The remaining Yuan Household disciples had to juggle caring for their hallucinating companions while also fending off these fearless Mushroom Person Puppet.
These Mushroom Person feel no pain, no fatigue, and possess immense strength. Even if their arms or legs are cut off, they will still use their remaining limbs to crawl forward frantically, attempting to attack their enemies with their teeth and the strange mushrooms covering their bodies.
Their numbers are simply too many.
The Yuan Household's forces were instantly plunged into an unprecedented crisis.
However, right in the middle of this chaotic battlefield...
Su Zhan, however, has not made a move.
He stood there, seemingly in his own world, oblivious to all the chaos and carnage.
There was not a trace of tension on his face.
He watched the Mushroom Person of various shapes with great interest, his eyes, which seemed to contain the power of a thunderous universe, gleaming with thoughtful light.
"I see..."
He seemed to be examining some new and interesting toy.
His gaze pierced through the rotting flesh of the Puppet, through the multicolored Poisonous Fungus, and went straight to their core.
He discovered that what drove these Puppet was neither their remaining consciousness nor any resentment.
Instead, in their skulls, in the location of their brains, grows a peculiar mushroom that is entirely white, like a piece of fine jade, and emits a faint sweet fragrance.
That's the Culprit behind all of this.
Illusion Heart Mushroom!
A legendary, psychotropic parasitic fungus that has only been sporadically mentioned in the oldest texts!
On the battlefield, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
"Pfft!"
A dull thud as a sharp blade pierced flesh.
One of the Main Vein Disciple, while parrying the claws of a Mushroom Person, was pierced through the abdomen by Root Bone, spiky fungus that grew from the shoulder of another Mushroom Person that pounced from the side!
"Ah!"
The disciple let out a scream, and blood instantly stained his clothes.
In the midst of the excruciating pain, the longsword in his hand trembled, revealing an opening.
The Mushroom Person in front of him immediately seized the opportunity, opened its large mouth covered with green mycelium, and bit down hard on his neck!
"It's over!" The disciple's pupils dilated, his eyes filled with despair.
At this critical moment...
A streak of emerald green light shot out like lightning, striking precisely the Mushroom Person that was about to bite down.
"Bang!"
The Mushroom Person seemed to be struck by a gentle yet irresistible force, its entire body flying backward instantly, knocking down a large group of its companions behind it.
