Mushroom Man

Chapter 343 Disaster is Approaching, the Dragon Palace is Exposed

"Damn it, I'm back!"

Wei Dai stood at the bow of the Black Pot, looking at the sea that had almost cost him his life. His fat face jiggled, and his eyes were fierce.

"Yo ho ho, I never thought that the dignified cannibalistic guard Dai would be bullied to the point of coming to me for help."

"If I didn't owe you a favor, I would never have bothered getting involved in your mess."

"For a fourth-rank subordinate, you'd fight to the death with a fifth-rank mushroom master? I really don't know when you became so benevolent..."

An old and demonic laugh came from another large ship.

Upon hearing this, Wei Dai looked up.

On the large ship, an unkempt, disheveled old woman with a wrinkled face and a mouthful of yellow teeth was looking over with a strange smile.

The old woman's surname was Shi, her given name was Zhenxiang, and she was known as Granny Shi. She was a fifth-level demonic mushroom master from the North Sea!
That's right, she's also a level 5 mushroom master.

Logically speaking, level 5 mushroom masters shouldn't be so common.

But Wei Dai has a wide network of connections. As a fifth-level mushroom master, he already has his own circle, so it's not surprising that he knows several other fifth-level mushroom masters.

This Granny Shi's main school of thought is Qi cultivation.

It was Wei Dai who deliberately used his connections to get help in order to deal with that guy who was good at using qi.

But obviously...

Wei Dai did not tell Granny Shi the truth.

From Granny Shi's few words, it is clear that she was unaware of the immortal's request.

Even now, she still thought that Wei Dai had chosen to call her in to get revenge because of the tragic death of that fourth-level mushroom master named Arno.

"Old woman, when have I ever been unkind?"

"I've always been kind and righteous, don't spread rumors and ruin my reputation..."

Wei Dai muttered to himself, his tone quite dissatisfied.

Just then, his stomach rumbled.

In an instant, the expressions of the pirates on the Black Pot changed drastically, and they all retreated and moved away from Wei Dai.

Only one mushroom master, who had just boarded the ship and knew nothing, failed to react and remained standing there dumbfounded.

Without even looking, Wei Dai casually grabbed the head and ripped it off.

A crunching sound rang out, and the unfortunate creature became Wei Dai's snack.

Granny Shi rolled her eyes at Wei Dai, who was full of righteousness but kept calling her "little brother".

"Oh ho ho, I'm not going to waste my breath on you."

"You fat pig, hurry up and tell me who this fifth-level mushroom master is."

"If a fight breaks out, I'll be prepared..."

Wei Dai wiped the blood from his mouth before slowly saying, "That fifth-rank mushroom master seems to be a rogue cultivator; I've never seen him before."

"So what is the origin of this, I have no idea."

"The only thing we know is that this person is not to be underestimated, and he should be a practitioner of the Qi Dao school."

"However, no matter how powerful this person is, he is still the only one."

"If the two of us, both fifth-level mushroom masters, join forces, even if that guy has extraordinary abilities, he'll have to kneel down and beg for mercy."

Wei Dai was confident and spoke with great self-assurance.

He had fought against the Golden Dragon King before and had a general idea of ​​his strength.

Although this person can split into two, comparable to two level 5 mushroom masters, this killing move is by no means easy to execute.

Such powerful killing moves often consume an enormous amount of energy and certainly cannot be sustained for long.

Now that he and Granny Shi have joined forces, in a two-on-one situation, that guy is doomed.

The fifth level of mushroom master is the limit for mortals; they have reached the point where they can no longer progress, and the difference between them is usually not significant.

Therefore, only the most exceptional fifth-level mushroom masters can kill an opponent in a one-against-many situation, let alone in a one-against-many situation.

However, what Wei Dai didn't know was...

The Golden Dragon King is a fifth-level mushroom master who has reached the pinnacle of mortals and attained the highest level in the human world.

I wasn't serious when I hit him before, which is why I didn't get to show the terrifying power that the most powerful people should possess.

Otherwise, Arnold might not have been the only one to die back then.

"Yo ho ho, then I'm relieved. No matter how strong a fifth-level rogue cultivator is, he can't be that strong."

"But if we're going to get revenge, how do we find that guy?"

When Granny Shi heard Wei Dai say this, she immediately felt relieved and let out a strange laugh.

Wei Dai looked at the undulating sea and snorted coldly.

"That guy once said that his retreat was nearby."

“And there are no islands around here except for the sea.”

"Therefore, there is only one possibility: that guy is now hiding somewhere on the seabed."

"My former subordinate, who died tragically, happened to find a dragonfish underwater. It must have been that guy who kept it at the bottom of the sea."

"As long as we can find the dragonfish, we'll definitely find where that guy is in seclusion!"

"A dragonfish?!" Upon hearing this, Granny Shi immediately became interested, a greedy look flashing across her face.

Seeing his appearance, Wei Dai laughed and waved his hand, saying, "If we kill that guy this time, we'll split the spoils fifty-fifty."

"No, it's a 40/60 split. I get 40% and you get 60%. As long as Granny Shi gives me her full support, it's no big deal if I eat a little less."

Upon hearing this, Granny Shi's wrinkled old face immediately broke into a smile that blossomed into a chrysanthemum.

"good very good."

"Since that guy is hiding at the bottom of the sea, let my newly adopted godson take the lead and lure him out."

As soon as Granny Shi finished speaking, a man with an ordinary appearance and a perpetually squinty-eyed look stepped out from beside her. The man appeared to be in his early twenties and was a fourth-level mushroom master.

However, judging from his appearance, he does not seem to be a strong person. His aura is very weak, giving people the feeling that he could be seen anywhere on the roadside.

"Just him?"

"Old woman, have you thought this through? That guy's strength should not be underestimated."

“My Arno didn’t even last a single round before he became a corpse.”

"Now I can't even find his body to collect; I guess that guy has already fed it to the mushroom beast."

“Your godson doesn’t even look as good as Arno. Don’t let him get away with losing his life instead of luring him out.”

Wei Dai looked the man over with suspicion, and seeing that he was only a fourth-level mushroom master, he shook his head, his tone full of distrust.

Upon hearing this, Granny Shi let out a strange laugh and said, "How could my godson be compared to some Tom, Dick, or Harry?"

"You fat pig, don't look down on him."

"With his methods, he can leave or stay as he pleases. Even if I and you join forces, we might not be able to stop him."

"Oh?" Wei Dai was startled and looked at the man with disbelief.

Is a mere fourth-level mushroom master really that powerful?
He can stay or leave as he pleases; even the two fifth-level mushroom masters couldn't keep him.
The man met Wei Dai's gaze and then grinned.

"This humble one, Xiao Chusheng, greets Lord Wei Dai."

"I just heard from Lord Wei Dai that the bodies of Brother Arno seem to have been taken away by that fifth-level mushroom master."

"I wonder if Lord Wei Dai has any of his belongings? I could use them to track down that person."

When Wei Dai saw that this person showed no fear or apprehension when mentioning the Fifth-Rank Mushroom Master, he couldn't help but trust him a little more.

"Someone, find something of Arno's and give it to this kid."

Not long after...

Then a younger brother handed Xiao Chusheng a piece of muscle-building and bone-strengthening ointment that Arno had eaten half of before his death.

Xiao Chusheng nodded slightly, only saying "Wait for good news" before jumping into the sea without another word.

Wei Dai's eyelids twitched as he watched, seemingly surprised by the guy's decisive action.

After a few breaths, the person disappeared from the sea.

"Old woman, where did you find such a godson?"

Wei Daixin was curious and immediately looked at Granny Shi and asked her a question.

Granny Shi grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and said with a strange laugh, "Oh ho ho, I picked this up by sheer chance."

“My godson is not a mushroom master from Beihai, but a stranger from the Western Regions.”

"It is said that it was blown directly to the North Sea by some north-south wind."

"It crashed directly onto my boat, which gave me quite a fright!"

Western Region?

Didn't some immortal master emerge in the Western Regions, and the entire area was sealed off by immortals?

Wei Dai was greatly surprised, and then squinted at the sea.

Hopefully, this kid from the Western Regions can really lure that guy out.

That fifth-level mushroom master roams the surrounding seas; he might just know where the immortal is looking for…

……

Meanwhile, underwater.

As soon as Xiao Chusheng entered the water, his entire being transformed.

The next moment, he transformed into a dark black dragonfish.

Such miraculous and lifelike transformation techniques clearly indicate that this person is a transformation master.

Of course, he is not an ordinary transformation mushroom master, but a transformation mushroom master who has received the inheritance of the formless!

That's right!

Xiao Chusheng is one of the most admired successors of the Wuxiang lineage in the world today.

Wu Liang, Morobi, Bai Lai, Hua Youque, Bai Xiaosheng, Xiao Chusheng...

The eight successors of the Formless Sect, having abandoned the deceased members of the Holy Sect and the nameless, have now all revealed themselves and arrived in the North Sea.

The dragon-fish that Xiao Chusheng had transformed into opened its mouth and exhaled bubbles.

His mind stirred, and the bubble burst open with a bang.

The next moment, Xiao Chusheng sensed a vague and ambiguous aura through Arno's belongings.

However, this energy was extremely weak, as if it were being concealed by something, making it difficult to understand.

Fortunately, the general location of the Qi mechanism was not affected.

"Fortunately, my tracking method is a true inheritance of the Formless lineage, which is mysterious and unpredictable, and extremely advanced."

"Otherwise, it would be difficult to find these traces."

Xiao Chusheng's thoughts flashed by in an instant, and he immediately followed the energy flow, swimming towards the seabed.

He swam deeper and deeper, encountering many ferocious sea mushroom beasts along the way.

However, whenever this happens, he transforms himself into someone of the other party's clan.

For a moment, he felt as if he were in his own water, moving freely in and out of the perilous seabed.

About an incense stick later...

Xiao Chusheng was growing impatient as he failed to locate the source of the energy and decided to turn back to find more relics to pinpoint its exact location.

However, at that moment, a sudden glance out of the corner of his eye caused his pupils to shrink sharply, and he froze on the spot.

A magnificent, resplendent palace, its golden splendor partially obscured, came into view...
