Chapter 350
"Buzz..."
After firing its first shot, the mushroom turret immediately began charging up its second wave of fire.
But Shen Xing and the others clearly wouldn't give it that chance.
"Boom!!!"
A huge fireball fell from the sky and then exploded instantly.
The violent energy surge instantly tore the mushroom-shaped defensive tower apart, and flames ignited all the remaining parts of it.
With a single strike, it was utterly destroyed.
This is the destructive power of Leina, the number one damage dealer in Shen Xing's territory, the Crimson Lotus of Absolute Flame, the Flower of Destruction, the Queen of Blazing Flames, and the strongest fire mage.
But before they could even catch their breath, the commotion seemed to have alerted nearby enemies.
Not far from this mushroom-shaped defensive tower, there is a large patch of giant mushrooms, three to four meters tall.
The umbrella handle is as thick as a house, and the canopy opens like a roof.
Shen Xing didn't know what kind of mushrooms these were before.
But soon, they saw a large number of Mushroom Folk emerging from these mushroom houses, armed with mycelium spears, spore throwers, and other weapons.
Some wore iron helmets, some were covered in mycelial armor, and some waved long vines as they swarmed over.
Looking around, there were at least hundreds.
"So many Mushroom Folk?"
Shen Xing was slightly startled, then used the system's identification function to quickly scan the area.

"They're all Tier Two Mushroom Folk, and there are two Tier Three squad leaders."
"This batch of Mushroom Folk soldiers is of very high quality..."
Shen Xing narrowed her eyes.
Before he could react, the group of Mushroom Folk had already arrived.
"Invaders! They stole our mushrooms!"
"Leave them here; they'll all become nutrients for the mushrooms!"
"I will Take Root in these damned invaders and suck their blood dry!"
"..."
They brandished their long vines or launched spores from a distance, swarming over all at once.
Shen Xing remained calm and ordered, "Maintain formation. Fordring and Gorehowl, hold off the attacks in front."
"Leina and I will handle the damage output. Onyxia, go and take care of those Tier Three Mushroom Folk."
"Yes, sir!"
At the lord's command, everyone quickly sprang into action.
The old knight Fordring deployed his Light Shield, blocking all ranged attacks.
Gorehowl followed closely behind, wielding a flaming greatsword.
"Swish! Swish swish swish!"
Streaks of fiery sword energy, each tens of meters long, slashed out and landed on the Mushroom Folk army, instantly cutting down a large number of them and forcefully breaking their formation.
Beside her, Leina waved her staff repeatedly, unleashing a vast surge of fire element.
"Splash! Splash!"
A barrage of Meteor Fire Rain rained down, engulfing the entire battlefield in a sea of flames.
Vast numbers of Mushroom Folk soldiers screamed in agony amidst the flames before exploding on the spot, their killing efficiency astonishing.
Among them, Shen Xing's attack was equally amazing.
He was sitting in a wheelchair, waving his right hand.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Two metal spheres shot out like meteors, hurtling towards the Mushroom Folk army with lightning speed.
Any Mushroom Folk being struck by these two metal spheres felt as if they had been hit head-on by a cannonball, experiencing a terrifying force.
"Puff! Puff puff puff!"
A series of sounds of flesh being pierced rang out.
A large number of Mushroom Folk were blasted dozens of meters away, falling to the ground and staring blankly at the holes in their bodies.
Then it exploded with a "bang".
Two metal spheres darted back and forth among the enemy troops, like the gleam of death reaping lives.
Wherever it went, no Mushroom Folk could withstand its attack; its killing efficiency was even comparable to Leina's.
Shen Xing watched this scene with satisfaction and exclaimed, "This is the destructive power of a mental-type lord!"
"With such powerful Control abilities, coupled with a powerful mental weapon, he's practically a reaping machine on the battlefield."
The outcome of the ensuing battle was, of course, a foregone conclusion.
It was just a legion of a little over a hundred second- or third-tier Mushroom Folk; any one of the generals he brought could easily handle them.
"Pfft!"
With Onyxia's Shadow Slash, the last Tier Three Boss Rank Mushroom Folk captain Execute, bringing the battle to an end.
At this moment, the battlefield was a scene of utter devastation.
The bluish-green lichen and moss had been burned away, revealing the charred ground beneath.
Large quantities of loot, such as Soul Stone and soul fragments, were scattered throughout the area.
As usual, Shen Xing released his mental energy and put all the materials into his backpack.
[Obtained: 125 Green Black Soil Mushroom Spawn]
[Obtained: 32 Blue Nest Cup Mushroom Spawn]
[Obtained: 5 Purple White-Fleshed Helmet Mushroom Spawn]
[Received: Soul Stone *2851]
[Obtained: Bright Boss Rank Soul (Tier Three) *1]
[Obtained: Advanced Material - Mushroom Folk Essence (Tier Three)]
[Get...]
Looking at the barrage of loot information scrolling across the screen, Shen Xing felt satisfied.
The rewards for eliminating these Mushroom Folk are extremely high.
In addition to the usual Soul Stone and soul fragments, there are also a large number of fungal blocks.
These fungal blocks are more important than the mushrooms themselves.
Because they are seeds, they can be grown in large quantities within a territory, providing a large amount of food.
"Gorehowl, search those mushroom houses and see if there's anything inside," Shen Xing ordered.
"No problem, boss!"
Gorehowl responded and then quickly ran over and plunged into the mushroom house.
A moment later, the red-haired orc emerged from the mushroom house, carrying several items in his hands.
"Boss, I found these in the house!" He handed over several pieces of fungus and a few bottles of fluorescent red medicine.
Shen Xing took it.
[Obtained: 15 Purple White-Fleshed Helmet Mushroom Spawn]
[Obtained: Boiling Dragon Blood Potion (Gold) *2]
"Oh? Boiling Dragon Blood Potion?"
Shen Xing took out one of the bottles of red potion and examined it for a moment.
[Boiling Dragon Blood Potion]
[Quality: Gold]
[Description: A forbidden potion refined from the essence of Dragon Blood Mushroom, mixed with the core of Flame Heart Mushroom and Poison Blood Mushroom powder, containing immense power.]
[Effect: If taken by other troop types, it will increase all attributes by 100% for 30 seconds. After the effect ends, the user will be in a 48-hour 'Dragon Blood Burn' state (enduring the pain of being burned by Dragon Breath all over the body and being unable to use any skills).
If used by a unit with dragon blood, it will raise the unit to a higher tier (maximum tier 4) within 60 seconds. After the effect ends, the unit will be in a 24-hour state of 'Bloodline Exhaustion' (all attributes reduced by 40%, and all dragon-related skills disabled).
(Note: Drinking this potion is like swallowing a fire-breathing dragon!)
"A 100% attribute boost, equivalent to a major rank increase... This potion is incredibly powerful."
Shen Xing looked at the description above and exclaimed in amazement.
