Mushroom Man

Chapter 244 Life is unpredictable, fate plays tricks on people
"No!"

Seeing that the Heavenly Origin Spirit Mushroom had changed hands and fallen into Wu Liang's hands, Bai Lai cried out in grief.

Ever since he obtained the Heavenly Origin Spirit Mushroom, he has been so fond of it that he even went so far as to waste a mouthful of spiritual spring water to feed it.

These mushrooms were enough to sustain him and help him ascend to immortality, and now they've been stolen away...

He spent his days hunting geese, but now the geese have pecked his eye at him.

Only now did Bai Lai truly understand the feelings of those whose mushrooms he had stolen.

"It's gone, the Tianyuan Lingzhi is gone..."

Bai Lai's previous playful demeanor vanished, replaced by a look of utter despair.

At this moment, he truly experienced a rollercoaster of emotions, a joy that turned to sorrow.

Who could have imagined that the White Horn leader's supernatural powers would cause such a change in the situation?

Now look what happened. The Formless Hand he deliberately unleashed ended up harming himself while benefiting others.

This truly shows how unpredictable life is, and how fate can be so capricious.

If Wu Liang had not refined the Heavenly Origin Spirit Mushroom, Bai Lai could have used his telekinetic abilities to compete with him and snatch it back.

Unfortunately, Bai Lai had previously revealed his ability to retrieve objects from a distance, which made Wu Liang wary.

Therefore, after obtaining the Heavenly Origin Spirit Mushroom, Wu Liang immediately refined it and stored it in his dantian, not giving it any chance to be obtained for nothing.

It's practically impossible for Bai Lai to reclaim the Heavenly Origin Spirit Mushroom from Wu Liang's dantian now.

unless……

Unless Wu Liang is captured by the Wu Xiang Hand like Bai Lai, and the Tian Yuan Ling Zhi Mushroom is taken away again!

Bai Lai's thoughts raced like lightning, and he understood everything in the blink of an eye.

He blinked, his eyes growing brighter, and quickly focused his attention on Wu Liang.

At this moment, Wu Liang put away the Heavenly Origin Spirit Mushroom and, without hesitation, tried to activate the Jet Mushroom to escape the encirclement of the Formless Hand.

Faced with the relentless attacks from all directions, Wu Liang remained remarkably calm.

However, while the jet mushroom is fast, it is only fast in a straight line and is not as agile as other mushrooms.

If he hadn't been surrounded, Wu Liang could have used the jet mushroom's linear speed to shake off Wu Xiang Shou.

But right now, in order to seize that Heavenly Origin Spirit Mushroom, he risked his life and fell into the encirclement of the Formless Hand.

In this situation, it would be impossible to escape unscathed.

However, Wu Liang did not regret it.

The value of the Tianyuan Lingzhi Mushroom was enough to make him take this risk.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; if you miss this chance, you'll never have another chance to obtain this Heavenly Origin Spirit Mushroom.

Wu Liang was an extremely greedy guy from beginning to end.

He wants everything and desires everything.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been unwilling to immediately give up his strength even though he knew there were mutually exclusive Dao traces.

Qi Dao, Blood Dao, Slave Dao, Strength Dao, Transformation Dao, and even the Dao of the Universe...

Wu Liang is like a melting pot, accepting all kinds of fungi and traditions without reservation.

His greed stemmed from a desire to grow up quickly, ascend to immortality, and find his way home.

As for the Tianyuan Lingzhi Mushroom, a famous mushroom on the list of rare mushrooms, it is said that if one could obtain this mushroom, it would surely contribute to his ascension to immortality.

The moment Wu Liang recognized the mushroom, he made up his mind that he would get it no matter what.

The reason I didn't make a move earlier was simply because the timing wasn't right.

Now that he has such a good opportunity, he will naturally not let it pass.

Even though he might be forced to lose the mushrooms while surrounded by the Unskilled Hands.

However, this was not unacceptable to Wu Liang.

Sacrificing a few mushrooms for the sake of Tianyuan Lingzhi Mushroom is a sure-fire way to make a profit.

Wu Liang was covered in mushrooms, but he couldn't part with the Boletus edulis.

However, the Five-Finger Hand, which has no fingers or less, cannot steal the Immortal Mushroom.

Under these circumstances, he naturally had nothing to fear.

In any case, any of the mushrooms in his dantian could be used to exchange for Tianyuan Lingzhi Mushrooms, which would be a sure-fire way to make a profit.

"Whoosh!"

Wu Liang was completely focused, using the jet mushrooms to dodge in all directions, narrowly avoiding one attack after another.

However, at this moment, Bai Lai seized the opportunity and, at the cost of being captured by Wu Xiang Shou again, launched an attack on Wu Liang.

"Fellow Daoist, you are being extremely unfair! That mushroom is my precious treasure. How could you just snatch it away without a word?"

"If that's the case, then don't blame me for tripping you up, fellow Daoist!"

After Bai finished speaking, he slapped Wu Liang from a distance.

Third turn—Sneak peek at the mushroom!

As Wu Liang was dodging the Wu Xiang Shou, he suddenly felt as if someone had patted his shoulder.

Caught off guard, Wu Liang froze instantly.

The momentary delay allowed three nearby figureheads to grab at him fiercely.

"Brother Mushroom!"

Morobi, being unable to move easily, dared not approach.

She stood on the perimeter, dodging, and noticed that Wu Liang had been captured by the Wu Xiang Hand. Her heart skipped a beat.

Given Morobi's temperament, she was certainly not worried about Wu Liang's safety.

She was just worried that if Wu Liang was captured by the Formless Hand, he might lose his All-Out Mushroom... "Hmph!"

Wu Liang snorted coldly, and his aura suddenly surged, breaking through the numbness that was emanating from his entire body.

He suddenly appeared with a blood-red aura, and the Blood-Burning Mushroom was activated accordingly.

Wu Liang's muscles bulged, and with the strength of an elephant, he lifted the serrated golden centipede and struck at the three formless hands that were right in front of him.

The saw-toothed golden centipede buzzed, its saw teeth spinning more and more wildly.

"Tear!"

One of the Five Elements Hands was quite fragile and was directly torn to pieces by the Sawtooth Golden Centipede.

As for the other two formless hands, one with four fingers and the other with three fingers, they are not so easy to deal with.

The serrated golden centipede was unable to tear apart the two formless hands and could only let them fall on Wu Liang.

Wu Liang couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

The next moment, the three-turn air bottle mushroom and the four-turn jumping zombie mushroom were grabbed by the formless hand.

The Three-Turn Qi Bottle Mushroom is the core mushroom that Wu Liang uses to store life energy, death energy, and sword energy to unleash the Great Annihilation Life and Death Sword Energy.

Without this mushroom, Wu Liang could no longer unleash the Great Annihilation Life and Death Sword Qi.

However, for Wu Liang, this was something that was dispensable and still acceptable.

After all, he had already exhausted his life force and death energy sword energy in order to deal with the White Horn leader.

In the short term, since the Great Annihilation Life and Death Sword Qi could not be used, the Qi Bottle Mushroom also became useless.

Moreover, Wu Liang already had the idea of ​​giving up the Great Annihilation Life and Death Sword Qi.

This flawed prototype of the killing move was developed during his second job advancement; it should have been improved and upgraded long ago.

So I just let it go and didn't feel bad about losing it.

However, it would be a real shame to lose that four-turn jumping zombie mushroom that we got from the Blackhorn Mushroom Cave as part of the spoils.

After all, Wu Liang only has less than a month left to live. If he wants to prolong his life, he might have to figure out how to become a zombie.

The four-turn jumping mushroom was the key to his transformation into a zombie.

If this mushroom is lost, and his lifespan is nearing its end, it may be too late to find a way to prolong it...

Wu Liang's expression hardened when he thought of this.

Without a second thought, he activated the Jet Mushroom and chased after the figure holding the Jumping Mushroom.

Perhaps it was because of the strange and supernatural mushroom that the Formless Brocade Pouch was broken.

These shapeless hands, no longer bound by constraints, no longer needed to return to the pouch after grabbing the mushrooms, and instead wandered aimlessly everywhere.

In this situation, the difficulty for Wu Liang to catch up with the Jumping Mushroom suddenly increases.

Moreover, Wu Liang is currently surrounded, with those Wu Xiangs eyeing him covetously. One wrong move and he could lose both his wife and his army.

In an instant, Wu Liang not only failed to catch up with the jumping zombie mushroom, but also found himself increasingly further away from it due to the difficulty of moving.

"Hahaha……"

"Fellow Daoist, now you know how powerful I am, right?"

"You dare steal my precious mushrooms!"

A hand of no form snatched another mushroom from Bai Lai's body, which happened to be the same mushroom that had just ambushed Wu Liang.

However, Bai Lai ignored this and instead seemed to gloat because Wu Liang had also had his mushrooms taken away.

He didn't chase after the mushrooms he had lost; instead, he clung to Wu Liang relentlessly.

Judging from their posture, it seemed they were waiting for Wu Xiang Shou to take back the Heavenly Yuan Spirit Mushroom from Wu Liang's dantian.

Perhaps because of Bai Lai, who clung to Wu Liang like a leech, more and more Wu Xiang Shou were chasing after the two of them.

In order to dodge the Formless Hand, Wu Liang had no choice but to watch helplessly as the jumping zombie mushroom got further and further away from him.

And as luck would have it...

Just then, the White Horn leader suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

Ever since he activated the Mushroom of Superhuman Strength, causing the Hand of No Form to go out of control, he has been invisible, closely observing the situation.

After losing seven or eight more mushrooms, they finally made their move.

However, his target was not Wu Liang and Bai Lai, but that four-turn jumping zombie mushroom!
The White Horn Leader knows the Black Horn Leader and once obtained a four-turn Jumping Zombie Mushroom.

Now, the leader of Blackhorn has fallen into the hands of this group of demonic villains.

Therefore, in his eyes, there is a very high probability that the Jumping Mushroom is on Wu Liang and the others.

So when he learned that these shapeless hands could steal the effects of mushrooms, he waited for a good opportunity to seize the Jumping Mushroom.

He is currently severely weakened and is on the verge of death.

Only the Jumping Mushroom can turn the tide for him.

Therefore, even though the chance of the Jumping Mushroom appearing was very small, he did not give up and kept waiting for this opportunity.

As the saying goes, hard work pays off.

Unexpectedly, he had only waited a short while when Wu Xiang Shou snatched the Jumping Mushroom from Wu Liang's body.

How could the White Horn leader let such a perfect match slip by?

The White Horned Leader mustered its strength and charged towards the Jumping Mushroom like an enraged bull.

Along the way, those unskilled individuals kept stealing mushrooms from him, but he ignored them all, his eyes only on that jumping zombie mushroom!
Clearly, the White Horn leader is on his last legs and is prepared to risk everything to seize the Jumping Zombie Mushroom.

"Damn..."

Seeing this, Wu Liang wanted to stop it.

Unfortunately, there were too many Faceless Hands around. If he wasn't careful, he was captured by one of them and his second-stage sword qi mushroom was taken away.

Because of this delay, the White Horn leader was the first to catch up with the figure-less hand holding the jumping mushroom and rammed into it hard!
