Looting and Pillaging, an Epic Rank Mushroom!
If there are enough of these White-Fleshed Helmet Mushroom, the harvest time can be shortened to 2-4 days, and the yield can increase several times over.
Those Finger Worm can also grow quickly, contributing more food to the territory.
Oh, and Kodo Beast too.
Lord Shen recently purchased dozens of recruitment scrolls, and now he has 30 of these large behemoths.
Moreover, there are both males and females here, so they can mate and reproduce.
However, Kodo Beast have a much longer growth cycle, often starting at a year.
With this [White-Fleshed Helmet Mushroom], you can accelerate their growth and build your own Kodo Beast army.
The more Shen Xing thought about it, the more he realized the value of this mushroom.
Then he put the plump, chubby mushroom into his backpack.
They continued along the low forest path.
After walking less than a few dozen meters, I found another new mushroom.
It appears to be only the size of a head, with a pale gold canopy inlaid with coin-shaped spots.
Shen Xing continued to use his mental power to control the shovel, shoveling the magical mushroom down and then teleporting it over from a distance.
[Obtained: Gold Coin Mushroom (Gold)]
[Quality: Gold (Rare)]
[Effect: A Rare mushroom that automatically absorbs gold elements from the earth and condenses gold coins on its cap. Each harvest yields 10-30 universal gold coins.]
[Growth Cycle: The time and amount of gold coins produced by the Gold Coin Mushroom will vary depending on the metal content of the surrounding terrain.]
(Note: Money trees are nothing compared to money mushrooms!)
"!!!"
Shen Xing was astonished; this was actually a mushroom that could automatically absorb gold and produce gold coins!
This is amazing!?
He counted them; there were 23 gold coins on the mushroom, equivalent to 230,000 silver coins, almost as much as half an Epic piece of equipment.
"Wow, this is like finding money on the street!"
Shen Xing became even more excited.
He happily put it into his backpack and continued searching around.
When they see mushrooms growing by the roadside or in the woods, they use their mental power to control tools to scoop them up one by one and put them into their backpacks.
Along the way, various insights and lessons learned kept flashing before my eyes.
[Obtained: White-Fleshed Helmet Mushroom (Purple)]
[Obtained: Silver Coin Mushroom (Purple)]
[Obtained: Gold Coin Mushroom (Gold)]
[Get...]
They spent an hour exploring the entire low-lying cedar forest.
The harvest was quite substantial.
Shen Xing counted; he had picked more than two hundred mushrooms, enough to fill seven or eight compartments.
They are:
[Black Soil Mushroom (Green)]*164
[Blue Nest Cup Mushroom]*32
[Oil-Cap Termite Mushroom (Blue)] *42
[White-Fleshed Helmet Mushroom (Purple)]*17
[Silver Coin Mushroom (Purple)]*16
[Gold Coin Mushroom (Gold)]*5
[Beast Strength Mushroom (Gold)]*4
"Exploring this new map is so comfortable, resources are constantly flowing in..."
A look of satisfaction appeared on Shen Xing's face.
These two hundred-plus mushrooms range in quality from green to gold, but each one is incredibly valuable.
Let's not even talk about the [Black Soil Mushroom] that are mainly used as food.
Further on, there are the [Nest Cup Mushroom] which can be used to brew fine wine, the [Oil-Cap Termite Mushroom] which can greatly enhance the flavor of food, and the [Silver Coin Mushroom] which can produce thousands of silver coins at a time.
In addition, there is one last new golden-quality mushroom – the Beast Strength Mushroom.
If consumed by Common troops, it will permanently increase their strength by 5% to 10%, a truly astonishing increase.
But this is not its most important capability.
The greatest function of this golden mushroom is that it can awaken the 'Beast Strength Instinct' talent in any beast or creature with beast bloodline after it is consumed.
In addition to permanently increasing strength by 20%, you will also receive an additional strength bonus with each level up.
"This kind of Beast Strength Mushroom is extremely rare."
"Especially for a lord like me whose main force consists of orcs, it's comparable to Epic quality."
Shen Xing looked at the red mushroom in his hand, which was about the size of a fist but contained immense beastly power, and felt satisfied.
"Unfortunately... we've only found four so far, not enough for all the orcs in the territory to eat."
"Furthermore, to cultivate this golden-quality mushroom into a spawn, at least 'Master Rank Planting Mastery' is required."
"In other words, I need to find someone with 'Advanced Planting Mastery' before we can start mass planting..."
After a moment's thought, he put the [Beast Strength Mushroom] into his backpack.
Now is not the time to think about these things. The most important thing is to collect more mushrooms before it's time to return.
This Underground Mushroom Kingdom is a treasure trove, and its territory is vast.
The cedar forest that Shen Xing and his group had just explored was merely a corner of the entire underground kingdom.
If you were to explore the entire area, the amount of treasure you could obtain would be unimaginable!
"Continue, continue."
Shen Xing waved his hand and said expectantly, "Today, let's see if we can empty this Mushroom Kingdom!"
Chapter 219: Looting, Looting, Epic Rank Mushrooms!
Next, Shen Xing continued to lead his generals to explore this Mushroom Kingdom.
They emerged from the low cedar forest and walked across the vast plain.
Looking around, you can see a large number of [Black Soil Mushroom], [Nest Cup Mushroom], and other similar plants growing on the ground...
Oh right, and the Mushroom Folk we encountered earlier.
"Splash..."
More than a dozen Mushroom Folk emerged from the soil and, upon seeing Shen Xing and his companions, emitted a sharp, explosive sound.
"It's humans! Humans have arrived! They smell awful!"
"Take them down and show them what the Mushroom Folk are capable of!"
"Charge!"
They charged towards Shen Xing and the others, their legs made of mycelium.
But before they could even get close, they were instantly blasted apart by a Greater Fireball from Leina, turning into Soul Stone and black soil fungus blocks scattered all over the ground.
As usual, Shen Xing used his mental energy to collect the spoils and then continued on his way.
Along the way, they kept picking mushrooms and eliminating waves of Mushroom Folk, advancing for one or two kilometers.
We're now close to the heart of the Underground Mushroom Kingdom.
In the distance, you can see the giant castle made up of various mushrooms.
All sorts of mushrooms grow on the city wall, some even emitting a dreamy, iridescent glow, making one want to go inside and explore.
"Wow! The mushrooms here are so tall and big!"
Gorehowl exclaimed in amazement as it gazed at a giant mushroom that was over ten meters tall and resembled a tower.
Shen Xing was wondering if the flesh of this giant mushroom was edible.
If possible, this thing probably weighs at least several thousand kilograms, right?
Just as they were thinking about these things, the canopy at the top of the huge mushroom tower suddenly rotated.
Immediately afterwards, a dark cannon barrel was pointed at them.
"Buzz..."
Vast energy converged at the cannon's muzzle, unleashing a destructive surge, as if gathering a terrifying attack.
"Damn, it's a mushroom turret!"
Sensing the terrifying energy fluctuation, Shen Xing quickly shouted, "Fordring Fording, stop it!"
Without needing his order, Fordring had already raised his Blackscale Shield and charged to the front of the group.
A silvery-white energy shield rose up, protecting everyone behind it.
At the same time, the mushroom-shaped defensive turret had already charged up its attack.
"Boom!!!"
A jet-black mushroom-shaped projectile shot out.
The moment it made contact with the Silver Shield, a powerful energy surge erupted, instantly causing the shield to develop numerous cracks.
Shen Xing was secretly alarmed.
After breaking through to the Tier Three, the Fordring Knight's shield strength is enough to withstand attacks from Tier Three Overlord Rank creatures.
The fact that it cracked with a single hit shows that this mushroom-shaped defensive tower is powerful enough to severely injure, or even instantly kill, Tier Three expert.
Even more outrageous, after the mushroom shell exploded, a large amount of dark purple powder was ejected into the air.
The powder appeared to be corrosive, continuously eroding the Silver Shield.
