Mushroom Man

Chapter 224 Iron Slave's Betrayal: Guard Against Arrogance and Impatience

As soon as Wu Liang finished speaking, he decisively launched his attack without any hesitation!

He did not set his sights on the eldest young master, but rather on the second young master.

After all, between the eldest and second young masters, the second young master is clearly weaker.

In a surprise attack, the second young master is more likely to be defeated or severely injured.

As a master of strength, the young master possesses an extraordinary physical body, making it difficult to severely injure him with a single blow. Instead, this would be a waste of a good opportunity.

Wu Liang's mind stirred, his muscles tensed, and he raised his hand to throw a punch at the Second Young Master's face.

This punch carried the power of an elephant brought by the White Elephant Giant Mushroom!
For a moment, it even produced a sonic boom!
Just hear a loud "boom"!
Caught off guard, the second young master was punched to the ground, his head embedded in the dirt.

However, despite succeeding in his attack, Wu Liang showed no joy on his face; instead, his expression grew even more serious.

It was because the feeling of his punch just now was clearly wrong.

It was as if something had blocked the second young master at the critical moment.

Wu Liang frowned and looked over.

as predicted!

A layer of dark green tortoise shell appeared around the second young master.

The second young master was protected by tortoise shells, so although he looked very disheveled, he had only suffered minor injuries.

However, due to Wu Liang's punch, the surface of this tortoise shell was covered with cracks and it was no longer usable.

This tortoise shell was actually a three-turn tortoise shell mushroom that the second young master had obtained from his father after the Iron Slave nearly killed him that day.

This mushroom is a consumable mushroom. Its only effect is to automatically protect its owner, allowing the mushroom master to withstand one attack from a third-tier or lower-level enemy.

Fortunately, the second young master had this mushroom with him.

Otherwise, Wu Liang's punch could very well have killed him.

Meanwhile, Lady Red and Iron Slave, thanks to Wu Liang's prior warning, were able to...

So, although he was a beat slow, he reacted quickly.

Lady Red obeyed her father's orders and dared not slack off in the slightest. She quickly scattered a handful of soybeans to activate the second-stage Warrior Mushroom.

The next moment, the soybean fell to the ground, quickly sprouted, and grew into an adult.

One after another, tall and burly men, each eight or nine feet tall, came into view.

These burly men with yellow turbans tied around their heads were clearly the warriors summoned by the second-stage Warrior Mushroom.

The strongmen lacked wisdom and could only rigidly and inflexibly carry out orders.

For this reason, strongmen are usually difficult to use against mushroom masters and can only bully ordinary mortals.

However, as the saying goes, many ants can kill an elephant!
The large number of strongmen, while unable to kill the third-level mushroom master, could still cause him some trouble.

Dozens of burly strongmen appeared and jostled the young master, nearly causing him to fall.

The enormous tiger-skin tent thus became exceptionally crowded.

Before the young master could react, he was swarmed by the strongmen.

Some clung to him tightly, while others raised their fists as if to strike his vitals.

But just then...

The Iron Slaves have made their move!
Just listen to a "swish" sound!
Iron Slave unleashed a punch, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.

However, unexpectedly, Tie Nu's target was not the eldest and second young masters, but the Red Lady who was closest to him!
"Crack!"

Before Lady Red could even utter a scream, she was struck squarely in the abdomen and collapsed to the ground.

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, the Iron Slave held back, intending to leave the prisoners alive.

Otherwise, Madam Red would very likely have been punched through the abdomen and died on the spot.

Even so, Lady Red fainted on the spot from that punch.

The strongman, who was originally about to show his great power, became weak and listless as Lady Red fell to the ground, and turned back into a soybean.

"This is……"

Upon seeing this, Wu Liang's expression changed slightly.

He quickly checked the third-tier puppet mushroom, seemingly trying to determine the Iron Slave's condition.

Surprisingly, however, the Iron Slave had no problems and remained under the control of the Puppet Mushroom.

Wu Liang's heart sank, and he immediately realized something.

The Puppet Mushroom remained intact, but the Iron Slave betrayed them.

All these anomalies indicate that things have spiraled out of his control.

The only person in the entire White Horn tribe who has the ability to make Iron Slave disregard his orders and break free from the constraints of the third-tier puppet mushroom is probably...

"No wonder the eldest and second young masters came to the appointment with such suspicious circumstances."

"It seems I underestimated that White Horn leader..."

Wu Liang's face was ashen, and a thought flashed through his mind.

Only then did the young master realize what was happening.

"You little thief, you have some nerve!"

He roared, his muscles bulging, like a ferocious beast in human form.

Three-times-transformed Eagle Claw Mushroom!
The young master stretched out his palm, which transformed into a cold, gleaming eagle claw, and suddenly grabbed at Wu Liang's head.

As expected of a high-level third-tier Strength Mushroom Master, his speed is astonishing.

However, Wu Liang was clearly no ordinary person.

He snorted coldly and activated the Puppet Mushroom and the Scapegoat Mushroom.

The next moment, Tie Nu involuntarily stepped in front of Wu Liang.

"Stab!"

A sound like metal striking metal rang out.

The young master's eagle claws directly ripped open the iron slave's skull.

However, the Iron Slaves possessed bodies of steel and iron, making their defenses extraordinary.

As a result, the Iron Slave only suffered minor flesh wounds and did not have his brains ruptured.

“You deserve it…”

Wu Liang glanced at Tie Nu, his expression icy. He could guess why the White Horn leader hadn't removed the third-stage puppet mushroom from Tie Nu's body.

It was simply an attempt to lull him into a false sense of security, to make him believe that everything was normal and that the Iron Slaves were still in control.

However, this also gave him an opening to exploit...

After all, Iron Slave is still subject to the control of the third-stage puppet mushroom, and thus, to some extent, he is still considered Iron Slave or even slave.

In this situation, the scapegoat mushroom can be effective against Iron Slaves.

Whether Tie Nu is willing or not, as long as he is Wu Liang's slave, Wu Liang can force him to take the blow for him.

"If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood."

Upon thinking of this, Wu Liang waved his hand dramatically!
In an instant, wisps of misty alcoholic odor spread out.

The aroma of alcohol comes from the third-stage alcoholic mushroom he obtained from the legacy of the Drunken Sword Immortal.

After Wu Liang refined the mushroom, he stored the alcoholic aroma it produced over that period.

Now is the perfect time!

A strong smell of alcohol spread out, and the eldest young master and the second young master, who had just gotten up from the ground, inevitably inhaled some of the smell.

Their faces quickly turned red, their eyes became glazed, and they looked like drunkards.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Liang used the Jet Mushroom to spray out a large amount of foul gas.

The young master and others, who were somewhat slow to react, instinctively closed their eyes when the foul odor splattered on their faces.

"It's now!"

Wu Liang knew the principle that opportunity knocks but once.

Instead of retaliating, he immediately used the jet mushroom to try and escape the tent and break free from the encirclement.

Currently, he has only gained a slight advantage because he struck first and caught the young master and others off guard.

Wu Liang wasn't foolish enough to think he was strong enough to fight three third-level mushroom masters all by himself.

With a swift movement, he grabbed the Red Lady, who resembled a rag doll, and soared into the sky.

Although Lady Red is weak, with proper training, she could at least become a formidable fighter.

It would be such a pity to die here like this.

Thinking of this, Wu Liang fled upwards while communicating with the Demon Suppression Tower to retrieve it again.

"Boom!"

Wu Liang charged straight upwards, smashing his head against the roof of the tiger-skin tent.

The pitch-black night sky suddenly came into view.

But before Wu Liang could catch his breath...

suddenly!

A hoarse, gloomy voice drifted over.

"My dear child, where are you going?"

Wu Liang's face turned ugly, he had already realized what was going on, and his mood instantly plummeted.

He looked up in the direction of the sound.

Then they saw that a net had been laid out all around them, and they didn't know when it had happened.

One by one, the white horn mushroom masters revealed themselves, completely surrounding the tiger-skin tent.

Everywhere, without exception, was crowded with people.

These white mushroom masters seemed to have been subjected to some kind of spell, so much so that Wu Liang couldn't smell even a trace of their scent.

Clearly, the eldest and second young masters had been wasting time talking to him earlier to buy time for the White Horned Mushroom Masters to completely seal off the area.

However, if that were all, it would be fine.

After all, if Wu Liang were to activate the Blood-Burning Mushroom and the Jet Mushroom at all costs, these White Horn Mushroom Masters around the second rank might not be able to stop him.

What Wu Liang truly cared about was actually that person in the heavens...

Under the cover of night, an old man with a wrinkled face and an air of age, yet still vigorous, floated in mid-air with his arms crossed.

This person was none other than the fourth-level mushroom master, the White Horn Leader!

The White Horn leader looked down at Wu Liang, a half-smile playing on his wrinkled face, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time.

"escape!"

Alarm bells rang in Wu Liang's mind.

Without any hesitation, he activated the Blood-Burning Mushroom as his true energy surged.

However, it was all too late.

Trying to activate a mushroom in front of a seasoned, vigorous fourth-stage mushroom master is no easy task.

Four-turn capture mushroom!
The White Horn leader remained calm and collected, casually raising his hand to grab something!
In an instant, an invisible force suddenly gripped Wu Liang tightly.

"Damn it!"

Wu Liang's face turned red from being gripped so tightly that he couldn't help but curse under his breath.

His body glowed with a bloody light as he tried to break through the force of the Blood-Burning Mushroom and the Jet Mushroom to escape his capture.

However, the fourth-turn capture mushroom was even more powerful than he had imagined.

No matter how hard Wu Liang struggles now, it will be to no avail.

In the end, Wu Liang himself gave up the pointless struggle.

With a single move, the White Horn leader completely subdued Wu Liang, making him wary of arrogance and impetuosity!
A level 4 Mushroom Master is terrifying!
Forced into a corner, Wu Liang had no choice but to admit defeat.

Upon seeing this, the White Horn leader laughed heartily.

With a wave of his hand, he threw Wu Liang down, where he slammed heavily to the ground.
"cough……"

Wu Liang was in excruciating pain from the fall, and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Only then did the eldest young master, the second young master, and the others emerge from the main tent.

They looked at Wu Liang, who was in a very sorry state, and all grinned and laughed.

"Hahaha!"

"You wicked demonic scoundrel, weren't you so good at running away? Why aren't you running this time?"
