Mushroom Man

Chapter 246 Not a Gentleman, Awakening the Centipede

Bai Lai effortlessly and easily removed the White Horn, which Wu Liang and Mo Luobi had painstakingly plotted to seize, from the head of the White Horn leader.

As the saying goes, there are specialties in the art industry.

Bai Lai may not be good at anything else, but when it comes to stealing, robbing, and extorting, no one present can match him.

If Wu Liang had encountered Bai Lai instead of Morobi from the beginning...

Perhaps they had already secretly stolen the white and black horns and left the Western Regions, never needing them, which led to this mess.

"Ok?"

"My horn!"

Only then did the White Horn leader realize that the white horn on his head had vanished.

Bai Lai, holding the white horn, looked smug and turned to look at Wu Liang.

"Fellow Daoist, a gentleman's word is as good as his bond."

"This is the White Horn you wanted. It's time to bring the Heavenly Spirit..."

Before Bai Lai could finish speaking, he suddenly felt as if he had been struck in the chest!

Suddenly, Wu Liang sprang up, raised his muscular right leg, and kicked Bai Lai in the chest with the force of an elephant.

Wu Liang seemed to have been planning this for a long time.

Taking advantage of the surprise attack, he kicked five times in a single second.

This 'Lightning Five-Strike Combo' was aimed straight at vital points!

The strength of an elephant is enough to split mountains and shatter rocks; if it were to strike Bai Lai in the chest, it would be enough to shatter his heart!

Clearly, Wu Liang was aiming to take his life!

"puff!"

Caught off guard, Bai Lai had nowhere to hide.

He coughed up blood, his eyes were unfocused, his bones were broken and tendons were snapped, and he was sent flying backwards, his fate unknown.

The white horn then fell into Wu Liang's hands.

He did not approach Bai Lai rashly, lest Bai Lai have some other tricks up his sleeve.

After all, this person was a successor of the Wuxiang lineage, so how could he be so easily kicked to death?

It's always better to be cautious than to make a big mistake.

"Ah……"

"I'm sorry, but I am not a gentleman."

"Only children make choices. I'll take both the White Horn and the Heavenly Yuan Lingzhi Mushroom."

Wu Liang shook his head and couldn't help but sneer.

That's right!

Wu Liang never intended to return the Tianyuan Lingzhi Mushroom.

Since he has already refined this mushroom, it is his mushroom, so why should it be returned?
"Morobi, blow the horn!"

Wu Liang retreated swiftly, narrowly dodging several unseen hands.

Wu Liang's troublemaking was not in vain. Relying on the speed of the jet mushroom, he escaped the encirclement of Wu Xiang Shou in a few flashes.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, he took a deep breath and blew the white horn without hesitation.

"Woo——"

The white horn emitted a deep yet melodious sound.

Everyone present was invigorated upon hearing the bugle call.

"Oh no, their target is the ground centipede!"

"Stop them! Don't let them escape!"

The White Horn leader's expression changed drastically, and he instantly understood Wu Liang's purpose.

The wandering centipede was a four-turn mushroom beast that he and the Black Horn leader had captured together.

Since they needed to divide it equally, neither of them used the mushrooms to enslave the centipede.

Instead, they used some means to erase the mushroom beast's intelligence, turning it into a puppet that only obeyed the black and white horns.

Years ago, the Earth Centipede suffered a severe injury and was left barely alive, forced to slumber within the veins of Bajiao Mountain.

At that time, the White Horned Leader and the Black Horned Leader made a pact with each other that they should not summon the Earth Centipede unless absolutely necessary.

The centipede's last breath was originally intended for migrating tribes.

If Wu Liang and the others were to summon the wandering centipede now, wasting that breath, the White Horn Tribe's migration plan would be completely ruined!

At that time, if the White Horn Tribe remains in Bajiao Mountain, they will surely be devoured by that group of rogue cultivators and suffer the fate of extinction.

This is something the White Horn leader cannot accept under any circumstances.

However, at this moment, it was clearly too late for the White Horn leader to stop Wu Liang and the others.

Morobi reacted extremely quickly.

The moment she heard Wu Liang blow the horn, she immediately took out the black horn that she had prepared beforehand.

The next moment, Black Horn's deep and melodious voice also rang out.

The black horn and the white horn were blown together by the two men, and the sound grew louder and louder.

In an instant, the entire cave and even the entire White Horn tribe could hear this extremely penetrating horn sound.

In just a short while...

The ground beneath everyone's feet began to tremble slightly, as if an earthen dragon were turning over.

"Damn it!"

Upon seeing this, the White Horn leader's expression turned extremely ugly.

He knew perfectly well that at this moment, the centipede that roamed the earth had awakened from the earth's veins.

I'm afraid they'll arrive soon.

His Gladiator Mushroom couldn't stop the Earth Centipede, a fourth-tier mushroom beast capable of traversing the earth's veins.

"Stop them! You must stop them!"

"I... I was just a little short of refining the Jumping Mushroom. I absolutely cannot let them escape!"

"I will tear them to pieces!"

The White Horn leader's eyes were bloodshot, his heart filled with resentment, and he roared at the young master and the others.

The young master and the other White Horned Mushroom Masters all looked terrified when they saw their leader in this state.

They dared not be negligent in the slightest, and had no choice but to grit their teeth and charge towards Wu Liang and the others. At the same time, the countless Formless Hands flying through the air finally exhausted their true energy and spontaneously dissipated.

The mushrooms that had been taken from everyone earlier fell from the sky one by one as the Wuxiang Hand dissipated.

Suddenly, a rain of mushrooms began to fall here.

Wu Liang and Morobi breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the opponent's hand was finally beginning to dissipate.

If the Wuxiangshou continues to act so recklessly, they fear that before they even encounter the Wandering Centipede, their mushrooms will be completely stripped off.

Although Wu Liang was able to dodge the flying Wu Xiang Shou with the help of the Jet Mushroom, his true energy was almost depleted and he wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

At this moment, the Formless Hand began to dissipate, which undoubtedly relieved their immediate crisis.

Wu Liang and Morobi exchanged a glance and moved simultaneously.

They tacitly ignored the young master and the others, and instead headed straight for the mushrooms that had fallen down as the Wuxiang Hand dissipated.

Right now, we'll try to salvage as many as possible before the centipedes arrive.

If all the mushrooms they lost could be found, everyone would be overjoyed.

If you can't find them, you can salvage some mushrooms that were taken from others to make up for the loss.

"Shhhhh!"

Morobi and Wu Liang swept the area and each took the opportunity to pick up a few mushrooms nearby.

Morobi obtained the White Horn Chief's Pressure Mushroom and several Slave Path and Power Mushrooms. These mushrooms came from the White Horn tribes, and the harvest was quite considerable.

Unfortunately, she neither regained her strength mushroom nor obtained the power mushroom of the White Horn leader.

Wu Liang's luck was even worse than Morobi's.

He had barely broken through the encirclement of the Formless Hands when the Formless Hands began to dissipate.

This resulted in him having very few Wu Xiang Shou around him.

So, the only mushroom that fell down near him was the Wind-Riding Mushroom of the White Horn Leader.

That's right!

The Wind-Riding Mushroom of the White Horn leader was also taken away by Wu Xiang Shou, which benefited Wu Liang.

After obtaining the Wind-Riding Mushroom, Wu Liang refined it in an instant.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to fish out all the mushrooms that had been taken away earlier.

Unfortunately, at this moment, the young master and the others had already surrounded them, so it was obviously impossible for them to pick mushrooms without restraint.

"You scoundrel, give me back my brother's life! Prepare to die!"

The young master was previously ambushed by Wu Liang, so naturally he wanted to take revenge.

His injuries had not yet fully healed, and he still limped, but his speed was by no means slow.

The young master leaped towards Wu Liang, like a small mountain, trying to crush him.

The white mushroom masters were also busy, throwing out iron chains in an attempt to entangle Wu Liang and kill him on the spot.

"Humph……"

Wu Liang snorted coldly, unwilling to get entangled with these guys at this critical juncture.

With a sudden thought, he immediately activated the jet mushroom, soaring into the sky and narrowly avoiding the young master.

However, those white mushroom masters threw out far too many iron chains.

Wu Liang's ankle was inevitably entangled by an iron chain.

The mushroom master suddenly yanked him, causing him to stumble.

Normally, Wu Liang would have a real headache dealing with so many mushroom growers.

However, at this moment, he has teammates.

Without a word, Moro rushed into the crowd.

She was like a mad beast, rampaging everywhere.

The white-horned mushroom masters scattered and fled in disarray under the impact of Morobi.

The white-horned mushroom master who had locked up Wu Liang was smashed into pieces by Morobi.

"Boom!"

The tremors coming from the ground became increasingly clear.

Everyone could clearly sense that something from underground was heading their way.

"A bunch of trash!"

The White Horn leader saw that the wandering centipede was about to arrive, while the young master and others could not even catch Wu Liang and Morobi, whose strength had been greatly reduced due to the loss of the mushroom.

For a moment, he couldn't help but burst into a tirade of curses.

Soon, soon...

Give me a little more time, and I'll be able to refine the Jumping Mushroom soon!

The leader of the White Horn gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed on Wu Liang and the others.

At this moment, Wu Liang saw that the young master and the others were still persistent in trying to besiege them, and his face immediately turned cold.

He mustered his remaining true energy and poured it into the serrated golden centipede.

"Buzz! Buzz—"

The saw teeth spun wildly, and the chilling sound rang out again.

"Morobi!"

Wu Liang, holding the serrated golden centipede, shouted loudly!
Morobi instantly understood.

The two have developed a certain level of understanding by working side by side during this period.

As the saying goes, to catch the thief, first catch the king.

Apart from the eldest young master, the rest of these scoundrels are not worth worrying about at all.

If they wanted to leave, a group of second-stage mushroom masters certainly couldn't stop them.

The eldest young master is different. Although his performance was hard to describe due to the severe injuries he suffered one after another, he is still a third-level mushroom master and should be treated with the respect due to him.

"Roar!"

Morobi roared, and the shockwave from the Lion's Roar Mushroom made the young master stiffen.

Upon seeing this, the young master's aura surged, quickly breaking free from the effects of the Lion's Roar Mushroom.

However, when masters clash, the battle often ends in a mere instant...
