Mushroom Man

Chapter 290 Devouring Human Souls, Plotting to Seize Bodies!
"It's you!"

Wu De, who was in a daze and whose consciousness was blurred, suddenly became alert and clear-headed the moment he saw Wu Liang.

By this point, he clearly understood what had happened.

"It was you! You killed me!"

"Aaaaah, you little beast, how dare you!"

Wu De was filled with resentment, his soul roaring hysterically.

However, with his weak soul, no matter how strong his resentment, he could not make a sound that the living could hear.

Wu De could only watch helplessly as Wu Liang approached his corpse.

He was baring his teeth and brandishing his claws, raging in a helpless frenzy, yet there was nothing that could be done about him.

But what is unexpected is...

Wu Liang seemed to hear his voice and slowly turned his head to look in his direction.

"Noisy!"

Wu Liang remained expressionless and coldly uttered a sentence.

The soul then transforms into a vengeful ghost, allowing it to briefly leave the body.

Wu De was still cursing and venting his resentment and anger.

However, when he saw the monstrous ghost, which was over ten feet tall, ferocious and imposing, with a blue face and fangs, he instantly fell silent.

The oppressive feeling brought about by the vengeful ghosts formed from the souls of a thousand people is far beyond what a newly born wandering soul can bear.

Faced with the vengeful ghost that Wu Liang had transformed into, Wu De's soul trembled, and unimaginable fear surged in his heart.

"While alive, he was a useless piece of trash."

"When you die, you're still a piece of trash."

Wu Liang looked down at Wu De with an arrogant expression, showing no regard for him whatsoever.

In his eyes, Wu De was nothing more than a clown from beginning to end.

Crushing him would be as easy as crushing an ant.

Wu De was filled with fear, both afraid and angry at him.

'I'm already dead, why should I be afraid of this little beast?'

'Damn it, damn it, I'm not having it...'

Thinking of this, Wu De's eyes were filled with resentment and malice, and he wanted to say something more.

However, Wu Liang had no interest in wasting words on a dead man.

He opened his mouth and took a deep breath towards Wu De's soul!
Third Transformation - Soul-Devouring Mushroom!

The three-stage Soul-Devouring Mushrooms that were once part of the spoils from the Blackhorn Tribe are finally coming in handy.

Wu De's soul was powerless to resist, and just as cleanly and neatly as when he died, it was instantly devoured by Wu Liang.

"Om-"

Wu Liang's soul was already extremely bloated and swollen.

After the Soul-Devouring Mushroom consumed Wu De's soul, it made Wu De's soul appear several sizes larger.

Of course, its aura has also become much stronger than before.

However, the price of using Soul-Devouring Mushrooms is not just talk.

As everyone knows, the Soul-Eating Mushroom only eats, but does not digest.

His soul is now equivalent to being forcibly fused with and mixed with another person's soul, making it more complex than before.

All that could be seen was Wu De's face growing on the chest of Wu Liang's thousand soul bodies.

The face was so lifelike that it contained Wu De's consciousness.

At this moment, Wu De didn't even understand what had happened, and could only let out unconscious wails, which sounded extremely noisy.

However, Wu Liang seemed completely unconcerned about this.

Devouring Wu De's soul will inevitably leave unimaginable hidden dangers for one's own soul.

This move has both advantages and disadvantages...

Although his soul became mixed as a result, the presence of Wu De's soul at least played a certain role when it possessed his body, preventing a severe rejection reaction.

That's right!

Wu Liang's grand plan to escape his predicament included a crucial element for prolonging his life: possessing Wu De's body!

If there is any body in this world, besides his own, that is most suitable for him to possess and prolong his life, then it would be Wu De.

Wu De was the only blood relative he had left in the world.

The compatibility between his physical body and his soul was already quite high, making it naturally the easiest for him to possess someone else's body.

Furthermore, in order to resolve any potential rejection reactions between the soul and the body.

Wu Liang even specially refined a Blood Purifying Mushroom to purify his bloodline.

This mushroom allows him to remove the part of his bloodline that originally belonged to the Void, leaving only the bloodline of the Wu family.

In this way, his blood relationship with Wu De could be further enhanced, allowing his soul to fit into his physical body.

But that's not all...

To ensure absolute certainty, Wu Liang even went so far as to defile his own soul, so that he could be highly compatible with Wu De's physical body, both in terms of soul and bloodline.

All these factors combined were enough to make him play a significant role when he later possessed Wu De's body.

However, how to possess Wu De is still unknown.

It should be noted that Wu Liang has not been able to create a mushroom that can possess another person's body.

Of course, since Wu Liang had already begun his actions, he had naturally taken this into account.

And the method he had prepared for possession was...

Get help from outside!

Wu Liang's thought flashed by like lightning.

With a thought, his soul, transformed into a vengeful ghost, returned to his body.

"Bone Immortal..."

Wu Liang turned his head to the side, facing the empty space behind him, and spoke in a deep voice.

The next moment, a tall, white skeleton rose up from the ground.

Ghostly flames flickered in Bone Master's eyes, clearly indicating his turmoil. He had been guarding Wu Liang's side the entire time, and had naturally witnessed everything he did.

Master Gu truly hadn't expected that the special envoy would be so audacious as to actually kill this immortal disciple.

'Oh my goodness...'

Is the infighting within the Holy Church really this intense?

'Your Excellency, you just killed him like that? Aren't you afraid of incurring Master Zhuge's wrath?'

'No, that's not right. The Special Envoy may have already considered this.'

'Master Zhuge clearly values ​​this young man more highly than the special envoy.'

'The Special Envoy probably believes that's why he's so unscrupulous...'

Bone Master was wildly imagining things, clearly having misunderstood something.

At that moment, he looked at Wu De's corpse lying on the ground, and a hint of pity appeared in his eyes.

'Poor child...'

'I don't know how I offended the special envoy.'

'To think that the special envoy would go to such lengths to eliminate him.'

'The Special Envoy is far too vengeful; we must never offend him again.'

Just as Bone Master's thoughts were running through his mind, amidst a myriad of ideas...

Then Wu Liang's voice came from afar, carrying an air of unquestionable authority.

"Take this child's body with you, and make sure it is not bumped or damaged."

"If anything goes wrong, I will hold you accountable."

After Wu Liang finished speaking, he moved swiftly, wasting no time, and headed straight for the sea of ​​red spider lilies.

"Okay, okay."

"Your Excellency, please wait for me!"

Gu Zhenren snapped out of his daze, quickly picked up Wu De's body, and followed closely behind without stopping.

They didn't stop for a moment along the way.

Wu Liang was very clear that he was now racing against time.

In case Zhuge Huowang discovers something during this process.

Then his grand plan to escape will definitely fail before it even begins, resulting in a complete and utter defeat.

Therefore, in order to gain freedom, he had to be quick, so quick that before Zhuge Huowang could even react, everything would be settled.

"Beast, beast..."

"I hate you so much, you deserve to die a horrible death..."

Within Wu Liang's soul, Wu De's vicious curses echoed continuously, his voice hysterical.

Clearly, the drawbacks of Wu De's Soul Devouring Technique are already beginning to emerge.

Wu Liang frowned, annoyed by the noise.

Fortunately, he had absorbed the memories of the Blood River Ancestor, and his will was now far superior to that of ordinary people.

Otherwise, if Wu De were allowed to keep arguing like this, anyone would be driven crazy by him.

Wu Liang only swallowed Wu De, yet the hidden danger was already so serious.

Zhuge Huowang, on the other hand, possessed a full three thousand soul fragments.

The impact he suffered was certainly more terrifying than that on Wu Liang.

This explains why Zhuge Huowang often went insane and talked to himself like a madman.

"ridiculous……"

"May they die a horrible death?"

"Whether I will suffer a terrible death is still unknown."

"On the contrary, your soul will become my food, and your body will soon be taken over by me."

"Your way of dying is truly a terrible death."

Wu Liang, like Zhuge Huowang, talked to himself and spoke to himself.

His face showed a mocking expression, and his eyes were full of disdain.

Before long, amidst Wu De's curses, he arrived at the sea of ​​red spider lilies.

The spider lilies swayed in the cold wind, their blossoms fluttering, a beautiful sight to behold.

"Your Excellency, what brings us here?"

When Gu Zhenren saw that Wu Liang had stopped, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

I can't figure out what Wu Liang's purpose is in coming here.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Wu Liang demonstrated the problem through his actions.

Wu Liang, like a bandit entering a village, rushed into the sea of ​​red spider lilies and, without a second thought, plucked all the precious flowers and put them in his pocket.

The spider lilies were roughly torn off, and each one suffered considerable damage.

However, there was nothing that could be done about it, since Wu Liang didn't have the means to harvest such Soul Dao Immortal Materials.
Normally, to harvest the spider lily intact, one must use appropriate soul techniques and harvest it with utmost care.

Wu Liang's crude harvesting method is tantamount to wasting resources.

Red spider lilies harvested in this way will definitely be unable to survive and will also have a significantly reduced effect.

It should be noted that the red spider lily, a precious plant that originally only existed on the road to the underworld, has extremely demanding environmental requirements and is very delicate.

If any part of its cultivation is improper, it will wither and die, losing its efficacy as a divine material.

Zhuge Huowang has clearly put in a lot of effort to cultivate such a large field of spider lilies.

Now, Wu Liangyan is plucking feathers from the sky, which will surely destroy the sea of ​​red spider lilies in an instant.

If Zhuge Huowang found out, Wu Liang might not even be able to become a split soul.

At the same time, Master Gu gasped upon seeing this scene.

He was instantly panicked and anxious, and hurriedly spoke up, trying to persuade Wu Liang to stop.

"hiss!"

"Your Excellency, calm down, calm down!"
