Mushroom Man

Chapter 225 Bai Lai Ventures into the Cave, Wu Liang Encounters Danger

at the same time……

Outside the mountain gate of the White Horn Tribe.

"How long has it been now?"

Morobi frowned, turned to look at the group of black-horned mushroom masters, and her tone became increasingly impatient.

As soon as she finished speaking, the Blackhorn Mushroom Master hurriedly spoke up.

"Your Excellency, the High Priest has been gone for the time it takes to burn two lamps."

"Now, only the time it takes to drink a cup of tea remains until the appointed time..."

As soon as this statement came out!
Morobi's face darkened.

She looked up at the still motionless White Horn Tribe, a hint of suspicion flashing in her eyes.

what's the situation?
Why is that guy so slow?

Logically speaking, by this time, that guy should have already stirred up trouble in the White Horn Tribe and made a scene.

Why is there no movement from the White Horn Tribe? The mountain gate remains completely still, showing no sign of opening.

Could something have happened inside?
Damn!

Could that guy really be all talk and no action?

Morobi's mind raced, and she grew increasingly anxious.

She paced back and forth unconsciously, hesitating whether to retreat or forcibly attack the White Horn Tribe.

However, Morobi seemed to have thought of something and suddenly stopped in her tracks, having made up her mind.

"Never mind, there's still some time."

"My methods on that guy haven't been triggered yet, so I don't think there will be any major problems."

"I mean what I say. If I say I'll wait until the incense stick burns, I'll wait until the incense stick burns!"

……

the other side.

"Weird..."

"Why are there so many fewer mushroom masters in the White Horn Tribe all of a sudden?"

"Just a moment ago, the defenses were tight, with White Horned Mushroom Masters patrolling everywhere."

"Why can't we see a single one now?"

Bai Lai, relying on the Invisible Mushroom that allows Mushroom Masters to become invisible, roams freely in the White Horn Tribe.

Seeing that the white-horned mushroom masters in the tribe had all disappeared without a trace, he couldn't help but look suspicious.

"Forget it, I'm just a thief, why should I worry about this?"

"The absence of those white horn mushroom masters is just what I wanted."

Bai Lai chuckled wickedly, revealing his lewd nature.

Just then, he stopped and looked up.

A hidden cave suddenly came into view.

Outside the cave, a three-turn mushroom beast, a unicorn, was tethered.

Clearly, this unicorn was deliberately tethered here to guard this cave.

"I just used the Treasure-Seeking Mushroom to search around, and this is the place with the most intense treasure light."

"It seems that this place is the mushroom cave where the White Horn Tribe stores its resources."

"Hehe, there are definitely a lot of good stuff in here."

"It seems that this time, my trip wasn't in vain."

Bai Lai's face showed greed as he rubbed his hands together.

Taking advantage of the Invisible Mushroom's amazing properties, he completely ignored the Unicorn and walked right past it.

At this moment, the unicorn seemed to be taking a nap, with snoring sounds coming from its mouth and nose.

Bai Lai approached and carefully examined him.

"My goodness, what did this cow eat to grow so big?"

Bai Lai looked at the unicorn, which was at least three zhang tall and resembled a small mountain, and marveled at it.

He shook his head, then looked away, intending to venture deeper into the cave to rob the rich and help the poor.

However, before he could get very far...

suddenly!

Bai Lai felt a surge of heat coming from the back of his head.

"Ok?"

Bai Lai looked puzzled and subconsciously turned around to look.

However, it doesn’t matter if you don’t look at it, but once you do, you will be shocked!
The one-horned rhinoceros had somehow woken up.

Moreover, it was staring intently at Bai Lai, who had already disappeared, with its bright red eyes, and hot air was blowing from its nostrils.

Bai Lai's expression froze, and he quickly moved his feet.

However, no matter which way he turned, the unicorn's eyes never left him.

Upon seeing this, Bai Lai immediately forced a smile that looked even more like a grimace.

"Um, um..."

"Brother Niu, I used to be a cowherd, and I once knew a cow named Cuihua who could do handstands."

"How about... I introduce you two?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the unicorn roared with fury, raised its ferocious horns, and charged forward.

"Moo!!!"

……

"boom!"

The filthy second young master kicked Wu Liang, who was lying on the ground.

Wu Liang was kicked squarely in the chest, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

However, before Wu Liang could do anything, the second young master, in pain, hopped around and ran away, clutching his foot.

"Wow, this villain's skin is really tough!"

"I'm so angry! I'm going to skin you alive and see if you're still tough!"

The second young master was furious, his face turning ashen.

At this moment, he looked as disheveled as could be.

Although Wu Liang's punch was blocked by the tortoise shell, the second young master was not completely unharmed.

He suffered a severe blow to the head and is still experiencing dizziness and seeing stars.

Furthermore, several of the second young master's teeth were broken and fell into the ground, where they have not been found to this day.

Having suffered such a great loss, how could the vengeful second young master be content with it?

And that's how this scene came about.

However, the second young master was a slave cultivator, whose slave beasts consisted of a three-turn unicorn and a herd of over a hundred blue oxen.

Now, because of his enormous size, the unicorn is tied up in the white horn mushroom cave.

As for the herd of over a hundred blue oxen, they were also kept in the mountains behind the tribe for free-range grazing because they were inconvenient to carry.

The second young master himself didn't possess many powerful techniques, nor had his physical body undergone any strength modifications. Under these circumstances, how could he possibly do anything to Wu Liang's jade-like skin!
"Okay, stop making trouble."

The leader of the White Horns descended from the sky, standing with his hands behind his back.

He glanced at the second young master, his tone tinged with displeasure.

Seeing this, the second young master dared not be presumptuous any longer and quickly lowered his head.

"Father, this wicked villain has nowhere to escape now. Should we deal with him immediately?"

"This guy killed my sister-in-law and third brother; he must pay for this in blood!"

The young master leaned closer and spoke in a vicious tone.

Upon hearing this, the White Horn leader shook his head and said, "No, Red Beauty and your third brother should not be dead yet."

"The beautiful woman in red beside this boy just now was not a fake."

"I have shared a bed with the Red Beauty and am very familiar with her scent. I can be sure that it is definitely the Red Beauty."

"Since the Red Beauty is not dead, then your third brother must also be alive."

"What to do with this boy is another matter for now. Let me ask him first..."

After the White Horn leader finished speaking, he looked at Wu Liang, who was still bound by the Capture Mushroom and unable to move an inch.

He narrowed his eyes, his droopy old face drooping, and spoke in a cold voice.

"Young friend, let me ask you a question..."

"The Red Beauty suddenly disappeared just now. You must have hidden her using some kind of mushroom, right?"

"Where have you hidden the beautiful Red Beauty and my youngest son?"

"Hand them over, and I might let you die a quicker death."

"Of course, if you know what's good for you, honestly explain why you dared to plot against my White Horn Tribe, and what you and that Morobi are planning."

"It's not that I can't spare your life..."

After the White Horn leader's words, it seemed that Wu Liang would have a chance to live if he explained everything clearly, but that was not the case.

One could tell from the chill emanating from his eyes and the way he looked at Wu Liang, as if he were looking at a dead man…

From beginning to end, the leader of the White Horn had no intention of letting Wu Liang live!
Wu Liang was fully aware of this, and naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal their purpose just to save his life.

Of course, even if the White Horn leader really intended to give him a way out, he wouldn't confess.

After all, if he were to be told where Madam Hong and the Third Young Master were hiding, the Wuxiang Token and the Demon Suppression Tower would be completely exposed.

At that point, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Ha ha……"

Wu Liang thought of this and sneered.

He said nothing, yet it was as if he had said everything.

When the White Horn leader saw him like this, his face instantly darkened, and the coldness in his eyes intensified.

"good very good."

"So you're going to refuse a polite toast only to suffer a penalty shot, huh?"

"Do you think that if you don't speak, I can't do anything about it?"

"Since you don't want to tell me, then I will see for myself."

As the White Horn leader spoke, he stretched out his withered hand toward Wu Liang's head.

Clearly, he intended to repeat his old trick, using the Memory Mushroom and Projection Mushroom to peek into Wu Liang's memories.

Wu Liang was completely unaware of this and had no idea what methods the White Horn leader possessed.

However, Wu Liang wasn't stupid. He naturally knew that the old man was already furious and wanted to use some kind of soul-searching method on him.

"and many more……"

Wu Liang suddenly spoke in a cold voice.

However, the White Horn leader looked mocking and ignored him, letting his palm land on Wu Liang's head.

At this critical moment, Wu Liang calmly continued, "If you use any means against me, Madam Hong and the Third Young Master will surely die."

"I've temporarily put those two away with the Yu Dao Mushroom."

"With a single thought, I can make the mushrooms self-destruct, leaving those two guys with nowhere to bury their bodies."

Upon hearing this, the White Horn leader indeed stopped his hand.

He frowned, a look of suspicion on his face.

A type of fungus capable of containing living people?
How come he had never heard of such a miraculous mushroom?

However, it seems there's no other explanation besides this...

The White Horn leader twitched his face, stared intently at Wu Liang, and said in a hoarse voice, "Tell me, what are your conditions?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang met his gaze with neither arrogance nor servility, his eyes remaining calm and undisturbed.

Unexpectedly, he did not use the lives of Madam Red and the Third Young Master to coerce the White Horn leader into letting him go.

Of course, that's impossible.

After all, for the White Horn leader, Madam Red and the Third Young Master are not that important.

Wu Liang was also aware of this, so after a moment of silence, he simply asked the question that had been bothering him.

"Before I die, I want to die knowing the truth."

"I wonder how I have managed to expose myself to your watchful eye all this time, so that you have deliberately waited here for me?"

Upon hearing Wu Liang's question, the White Horn leader couldn't help but sneer.

He beckoned and summoned the Iron Slave to his side.

"You are too inexperienced and underestimate me, a fourth-level mushroom master."

"Your little tricks are as laughable as children playing house in front of me."

"When I heard from Xiao Er that Xiao San had sold Mao Jiang and was no longer involved in the Eight-Cornered Holy Battle, I knew that Xiao San must have run into trouble."

"So, with a little manipulation, I learned from Tie Nu that you, this wicked villain, dared to usurp my place right under my nose..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang's doubts vanished instantly.

He had already suspected this when he saw the Iron Slaves turn against him.

Now, after the White Horn leader confirmed it, he finally understood.

No wonder I always felt like something was wrong; it turns out that was the problem!
As expected of a fourth-level mushroom master!
It seems he has indeed made the same mistake as Abbot Shanren.

They underestimated the fourth-level mushroom master, and they also underestimated the second young master...

Of course, there may be hidden dangers related to bloodlines or the influence of fragmented memories.

But more than that, he was too young, not cautious enough, and too presumptuous.

Wu Liang understood all this, and his gaze narrowed slightly.

Just then, from the direction of the mushroom cave of the White Horn Tribe, a faint mournful cry of a unicorn could be heard.

"Moo..."

Upon hearing the noise, the White Horn leader and the others' expressions changed, and they subconsciously looked towards the direction of the mushroom cave.

At the same moment, Wu Liang saw this golden opportunity and was not about to let it slip by.

Without hesitation, he roared out.

"Bone Immortal!"

"If we don't act now, when will we?!"
