The bone dragon descended from the sky.
Gray Bear had already prepared for its arrival.
Not far away stood 100 bandits, clad in Storm Iron heavy armor, their stout figures formed an intimidating force.
They even looked somewhat like a regular army.
“Lord, Str Black Sword,” Gray Bear greeted, leading the group to welcome them.
While he greeted, his gaze fixated on the enormous parcel on the dragon’s back. Everyone remembered Fang Hao mentioning that more equipment would arrive later.
Fang Hao noticed their gazes and knew what they were looking at, “Distribute the equipment and let’s set off soon.”
Right away, sir,” Gray Bear replied cheerfully and signaled his men to unload the equipment.
Once the preparations were about complete,
Fang Hao brought out his map, and the troop set off again in majestic array, heading towards today’s mission location—Mushroom Valley.
According to the map, a type of fungus was growing in this valley.
People needed to clear them away.
After a two -hour journey, they were close to the valley.
It wasn t far from the cave where they had encountered the cyclops Troll.
Many dangerous creatures inhabited this rarely visited area.
Sir, it should be here,” Black Sword pointed out.
They all stood before the valley, looking at the passageway ahead.
The terrain was peculiar; the concave C-shaped rocky walls of the valley perfectly blocked the sunlight from above.
In the dim light, the rugged rocks were covered with all kinds of ‘mushrooms’ which seemed to shun the light. The darker the place, the denser they grew. There were all kinds of mushrooms.
Fang Hao saw at least five or six different types.
Some mushrooms were taller than a person, umbrella-shaped, with drooping tendrils growing upon them.
Others were shorter, possessing black holes akin to human eyes.
“Sir, these mushrooms are very dangerous,” Gray Bear suddenly pointed out.
“You know them?”
The distance was still too far to see the names of the mushrooms, but it seemed that Gray Bear was familiar with them.
“Sir, these mushrooms were common in the past. The dark ones with humanÂlike eyes are known as ‘Little Petty’. They would spew a poisonous gas when threatened or attacked, and inhaling the gas could cause poisoning and even death. Plus, if living creatures die from inhaling this gas, their bodies quickly decompose, providing nutrients for the emergence of new mushrooms.” “The slender ones we call ‘Little Widows’. They make soft noises when approached, and shriek loudly if one gets closer. The noise is unbearable, even if one covers their ears.”
The ones with tendrils would lash out at any creature that draws near.”
It seemed that these mushrooms were not hard to encounter, as the bandits not only understood their attack methods but also had nicknames for them.
“How did you handle these mushrooms back then?” Fang Hao asked.
We mostly let them be. If we had to deal with them, we would try using fire.” Ah…okay…
One reason bandits are hard to root out is that they scamper all over the place and are familiar with their surroundings.
They would run away at the first sign of danger.
If someone pursued them, they would lead those people to dangerous areas. Like a group of mushrooms that could release poisonous gas for instance. “Do they affect the undead?”
Uh… I m not sure,” Gray Bear seemed to remember something and continued, “Some people say that a part of these plants is used as alchemy materials, and there are folks who specialize in collecting them.”
Alchemy materials?
So these things were alchemy materials.
Without saying much, Fang Hao ordered the troop to move closer.
When they got nearer, Fang Hao was able to check the attributes of the mushrooms.
[Poisonous spores] [Screaming mushroom] [Droopbeard Mushroom]…
Their names were displayed but no levels were indicated.
Go in and try it!” Fang Hao ordered to a skeleton.
The skeleton warrior, weapon in hand, strode towards the group of mushrooms. When he was about two meters away,
The Screaming mushroom started to tremble slightly, emitting a soft whimpering sound.
The skeleton warrior didn’t stop, and in the next second, the Screaming mushroom let out a sharp shriek that echoed through the valley.
Immediately after, like a chain reaction, all the mushroom creatures began to tremble.
The Poisonous Spores spewed out their gray toxic fumes from their hollows, the Droopbeard Mushrooms began brandishing their tendrils, sweeping them towards the approaching skeleton.
Thud Thud Thud!!
The skeleton warrior held up his shield, and the tendrils lashed onto the shield. Meanwhile, the skeleton warrior had already reached the Screaming mushroom up front, and slashed at it with his blade.
With one slash, he nearly split the Screaming mushroom in half, letting out an even sharper shriek.
However, it had no effect on the skeleton warrior.
Outside the valley,
Fang Hao and the others watched what was happening in front and nodded to themselves.
It seemed that these mushrooms primarily affected living creatures, and their effects on the undead were not significant.
Just when Fang Hao thought that this was the mushrooms’ final line of defense, something unusual occurred up ahead.
A rotting cyclops Troll rose from the mushroom covered ground.
A black mushroom was growing from its eye on the forehead, and the rest of its body was covered with various kinds of fungi.
It appeared that this corpse had become a source of nutrients for the fungi. Splash!
Following the Troll, all the corpses in the circle of mushrooms rose up, their bodies full of fungi, turning them into mobile combat units.
The mushrooms on their bodies continuously released poisonous gas and shrieks.
“Moving turrets!”
Despite the weird situation, the threat they posed was minimal.
The standing corpses numbered only a little over ten, and the poisonous gases and noise emitted by the mushrooms posed no threat to the undead soldiers.
“Grey Bear, take your men and retreat out of the valley, Black Sword, attack! ” said Fang Hao.
“Yes!”
The two immediately took action.
Grey Bear led his men to the rear while Black Sword rallied his forces, preparing to strike the valley.
The archers and mages launched the first attack.
Arrows and magic missiles flew towards the guild of mushrooms.
Struck by the attack, the mushrooms started to shake constantly, spewing toxins, and emitting shrill noises.
In no time, the entire valley was filled with gray poisonous gas.
Undeterred, the undead warriors stride into the gas and launched an attack on the fungal corpses and mushrooms.
The single-eyed troll, who boasted of strong power, still retained some combat abilities after being infested by a mushroom.
Swinging his Wolf Fang Club, he forced the skeleton warriors to keep retreating.
Black Sword advanced and knocked over the troll by pushing his shield directly, then severed the troll’s head with his sword.
The troll’s head fell off, but the mushroom it carried was still emitting poisonous gas.
Black Sword swung sword again, chopping the mushroom in half.
In the valley, the undead soldiers quickly eliminated the clusters of mushrooms.
Cleanup work conducted slower than expected.
The number of mushrooms was just too vast, growing together in big and small clusters.
The clearing took three hours.
Only then did it gradually near completion.
The entire valley was littered with chopped up fungal flesh.
The skeletons were rummaging through the lean meats, looking for any loot that could be gathered.
“Sir, we found a treasure chest inside,” said Black Sword.
Two skeletons carried out a silver treasure chest.
They placed it in front of Fang Hao.
Other than the treasure chest, the dead mushrooms also dropped several types of plant rootstocks.
[Spore Cap][Long Neck Rootstock]…
According to the description, all these had some toxicity and could indeed be used as alchemy materials and herbs.
Fang Hao ordered to pile up all the mushrooms and set them on fire.
Such fungi, if left to grow, could indeed be dangerous.
If any living creature gets close, it could easily become the mushroom’s nutrients.
All cleared, Fang Hao gave the order to retreat.
End God’s Presence.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, Black Sword and the Bone Dragon returned to the territory.
The accompanying skeleton soldiers did not follow back, but all stayed in Grey Bear’s village.
The treasure chest had been placed at Fang Hao’s feet and the fungal materials had been sent to the warehouse.
The gains from this time were average.
Just a silver treasure chest.
Open it!
[Gain: Meat Field Blueprint, Demon Eye Mushroom Seeds 12, Divination Mushroom Seeds 6, Wild Grass Seeds 8, Fire Scale Grass Seeds 5, Honey Grass Seeds 3, Mist-Cloaked Crystal 2, Warfire Coins 78.]
Seeing a long list of rewards, Fang Hao furrowed his brow slightly.
It seemed that there weren’t many useful blueprints.
[Meat Field: Wood Materials 800, Stone Materials 4.00, Hemp Rope 350, Living Creature Corpse 2, Trace of the Earth 1.]
(Description: Some fungi can grow rapidly and stably on any corpse, and rotting bodies are the best nutrient supply.)
Damn!
What kind of strange thing is this?
Seeing the introduction of the meat field, the image of the bodies infested with mushrooms comes to Fang Hao’s mind.
It made his heart feel uncomfortable.
[Demon Eye Mushroom Seed]
[Category: Seed]
(Description: Can cultivate Demon Eye Mushroom, a collection item for alchemy and medicine.)
[Wild Grass Seed]
[Category: Seed]
(Description: Can plant wild grass, a collection item for alchemy and medicine.) Whether it’s mushroom seeds or plant seeds, both are closely related to alchemy.
Once he cultivates some alchemists in his territory in the future, he won’t have to worry about materials anymore.
When it comes to mushroom cultivation, Fang Hao thinks of a suitable place to plant them, Crescent Heights.
Rolana has a Canopy Treasure Box, which is actually suitable for mushroom growth.
It seems that he’ll have to visit Rolana in the next few days, taking care of his subordinate heroes and get the plantation started.
The Mist-Cloaked Crystal doesn’t need an introduction, it’s a material of the fairy faction.
Night fell, and the blue sky was adorned with countless stars.
The stars in this world were surprisingly plentiful, covering the entire sky.
Thump! Thump! Thump!!
Fang Hao, who was standing at the window, had his room door gently knocked. “Master, Sir Boulder has returned and is waiting for you in the hall,” Eira’s voice came from outside the door.
Boulder is back?
Fang Hao had assigned Boulder to find the Red Duke’s corpse; it had been a few days already.
He wondered if the Red Duke’s corpse had been found.
