This Dungeon Is Overgrown with Mushrooms! (Continued)
Beneath the umbrella, the outline of facial features can be vaguely seen.
[Mushroom Folk]
[Level: 18]
[Potential: Elite ★★★]
[Attributes: Strength 681, Spirit 526, Agility 471, Constitution 626]
[Skills: Mycelium Entanglement, Spore Spit, Poison Powder Dispersal]
[Talent: Spore Parasitism (New mushrooms will grow on the corpses of enemies killed by Mushroom Folk. These mushrooms will quickly absorb nutrients from the corpses and grow into low-level Mushroom Folk.)]
[Synergy: Mushroom Folk (Not Activated)]
(Note: Guardians of the Mushroom Kingdom, be careful not to be Spore Parasitism.)
"!!!"
"These mushrooms... are they living monsters?"
Shen Xing was slightly surprised.
The Mushroom Folk who had just broken through the soil were also briefly taken aback when they saw this small team.
But they quickly came to their senses and let out a soft, Wrath roar.
"It's humans! Humans have invaded our kingdom!"
"Damn invaders, tear them all to shreds! I'll drain them of their life force!"
"Quickly, go and invite General Mushroom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, these mushrooms took off their mycelium-covered legs and began to run quickly across the lichen-covered ground.
Shen Xing was somewhat bewildered again.
Damn it, I thought you guys were yelling so loudly because you were planning to come up and beat us up.
They just ran away.
"Stop them," he ordered in a deep voice.
As soon as she finished speaking, Onyxia, hidden in the darkness, moved.
Like a flowing shadow, it moved at extreme speed, catching up with the Tier Two Mushroom Folk in just a moment.
"Whoosh..."
A dense shadow erupted, completely enveloping the Mushroom Folk.
Immediately afterwards, they heard only the sound of wind breaking through the darkness, and the faint screams of the Mushroom Folk.
"Ah! Oh dear!"
"Pfft! Pfft!"
A few seconds later, the shadow receded like a tide.
On the dark blue ground, several Mushroom Folk corpses lay scattered about.
They had no other wounds, except for a thin, long bloodstain on their necks, as if they were about to sever the stem and cap.
"Indeed, Onyxia's explosive power is as formidable as ever."
Shen Xing was satisfied and was about to send someone to examine the corpses of the Mushroom Folk.
The next second, their corpses began to swell rapidly, like an inflated ball, and soon reached their limit.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
With several loud bangs, the corpses of the Mushroom Folk exploded on the spot, spraying grayish-black juice all over the ground.
Shen Xing paused for a moment, then quickly looked over.
Scattered around the sites of their self-destruction were numerous Soul Stones and soul fragments, as well as other materials.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness, I thought the Mushroom Folk wouldn't give us anything after we killed them."
"At least they provided some materials, which is not bad."
Shen Xing used his mental energy to sweep across the area, collecting all the spoils on the ground into his backpack.
[Received: 5 Green Black Soil Mushroom Spawn]
[Received: Soul Stone *172]
[Obtained: 15 Fragmented Elite Soul Fragment]
[Obtained: Advanced Material - Mushroom Folk Essence (Tier Two) *3]
"Huh? A piece of mushroom fell off?"
Shen Xing was overjoyed.
The so-called fungal colony is similar to a plant seed, capable of cultivating new mushrooms.
He had been thinking about whether he could get some mushroom blocks to cultivate in his territory, and now this has happened.
I took out the palm-sized piece of mushroom and checked its properties.
[Black Soil Mushroom Spawn]
[Quality: Green]
[Item Effect: Can be planted on a moist substrate. After 10-15 days of cultivation, it will grow into an edible Black Soil Mushroom.]
Yield: One mycelium block can cover one square meter of mushroom bed, and each batch can yield approximately 5 kilograms of Black Soil Mushroom per square meter of mushroom bed.
The mushroom bed can be harvested repeatedly, but after every three harvests, the mycelial blocks need to be replenished to maintain yield.
(Note: Black Soil Mushroom are a common edible mushroom in the Land of Mist. They have low nutritional value, but are high-yielding and fast-growing, making them a major food source.)
"Oh? You can harvest 5 kilograms of Black Soil Mushroom in just half a month?"
Shen Xing narrowed his eyes and quickly did some calculations in his mind.
He possesses the Legendary Rank [Rain God's Blessing], which can accelerate plant growth by 100% and double crop yield.
In other words, he can obtain ten kilograms of Black Soil Mushroom in just seven days.
If you can plant several hundred or even a thousand square meters of land, that's equivalent to a stable harvest of tens of thousands of kilograms of food every week!
"Good, looks like we need to find a way to kill more Mushroom Folk and get more mushroom chunks."
"In this way, I can solve the food problem and continue to mass-produce troops."
Shen Xing thought with satisfaction, then ordered, "Let's go, let's continue."
They maintained their formation as they advanced through this vast underground kingdom.
Low-lying fir trees grow all around, their leaves shimmering with fluorescent light, forming patches of glowing shrubs.
Along the forest path, all sorts of strangely shaped mushrooms can be seen everywhere.
Some spewed out gray spore smoke, some oozed a viscous purple liquid, and some had their entire caps wriggling slightly, as if they were covered with insects.
It doesn't look like a normal mushroom.
Shen Xing did not approach.
At this moment, Gorehowl suddenly asked, "Boss, I heard the workers tell stories about mushrooms and witches. They said there are evil witches hiding deep in the swamp who use poisonous mushrooms to make all sorts of poisons."
"Is it true that some poisons can even kill dragons?"
Shen Xing pondered for a moment, then nodded. "It's probably true. The Land of Mist have all sorts of strange and unusual things."
"Oh! Then can we pick these poisonous mushrooms and make poison?" Gorehowl asked excitedly.
Shen Xing glanced at him speechlessly. "Can you concoct medicine?"
"Uh... no."
"That settles it then," Shen Xing said irritably. "These poisonous mushrooms are highly toxic, and their reproductive capacity is astonishing."
"If we don't control it properly and let the territory become overgrown with poisonous mushrooms, we won't be able to kill the dragons; we'll probably take down our own people first."
"I see..." Gorehowl scratched his head sheepishly.
At this moment, Fordring Fording, at the head of the group, said, "My lord, this mushroom looks quite normal."
"Moreover... it seems to contain a considerable life force."
Shen Xing followed his gaze.
Beside a few low-lying fir trees, I saw a plump, milky-white mushroom growing, emitting a faint milky aroma.
Compared to the brightly colored poisonous mushrooms around it, it actually looks quite normal.
"What kind of mushroom is this? It looks quite appetizing."
After a moment's thought, Shen Xing decided to pick the mushroom and take a look.
This time, however, he was smarter and didn't go close to pick them.
Instead, he directly released his mental energy, controlling a shovel to fly over.
After confirming that there was nothing unusual, the shovel was gently inserted into the soil to remove the surrounding turf.
Then the whole mushroom, including its stem, was dug out.
This is the second level of mental power: the Control is so strong that it can be almost as if it were an extension of one's own arm, allowing for the completion of many precise movements.
Then, he unleashed his mental power, pulling the plump mushroom towards him.
[Obtained: White-Fleshed Helmet Mushroom (Purple)]
[Quality: Purple (Rare)]
[Effect: It can greatly increase satiety after consumption. If it is crushed and mixed into feed, it can increase the growth rate of animals or livestock by 500% to 1000%.]
It can also be cultivated into mycelial blocks, but this requires mastery of 'Advanced Planting Mastery'.
(Note: White Meat Helmet brand feed, you deserve it!)
"Huh? It can actually accelerate the growth rate of livestock, up to ten times! That's incredible!"
"This is much more valuable than the Black Soil Mushroom we obtained before."
Shen Xing was overjoyed.
Fortunately, there were many Finger Worm in his territory, which regularly provided a large amount of meat and also hatched many Finger Worm.
However, because it takes about 20 days for the severed finger to regrow, the yield is not high.
