Mushroom Man

Chapter 347 Mirage, Blood Debts Paying Off

What is a mirage?

The so-called mirage is actually a magnificent illusion controlled by the Dragon Palace.

This great wonder, after being processed and modified by the Dragon Palace Mushroom Fairy, has been transformed into a secret little world similar to a blessed land.

The Dragon Palace can simply disappear into a mirage, leaving no trace. Even immortals would be unable to find a single trace of it.

However, there is no spiritual energy in the mirage; it is all a false illusion.

If the Dragon Mushroom Master remains in the mirage for too long, he will not only be unable to strengthen himself or restore his true energy, but the mushrooms will also gradually wither and die.

While this can provide temporary relief with silver, it is not a long-term solution.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, the Dragon Palace will not completely disappear into a mirage, but will only leave a layer of illusion on the outside to prevent mushroom beasts from accidentally entering the Dragon Palace.

It is now clear that the Dragon Palace has reached a point of no return.

However, in the Silver Dragon King's view, as long as the Dragon Palace disappears into a mirage and hides for a year or two, all the troubles will be easily resolved.

After all, even if those human mushroom masters realized something was wrong, would they really waste their time here and keep guarding them?
however……

"A bunch of ugly and deformed people, why should my Dragon Palace avoid their sharp edge?"

"Although you and I killed that villain, it's inevitable that he didn't activate any communication methods at the time, thus exposing the Dragon Palace's information."

"To be absolutely sure, it would be better to kill all of these human mushroom masters and eliminate any future troubles."

The Golden Dragon King remained expressionless, but his tone was filled with murderous intent.

Clearly, he wanted to make up for his previous mistake by killing all the human mushroom masters on the spot.

A fourth-tier human mushroom master is not enough to make up for the deaths of those dragonmen.

Only by making those human mushroom masters pay for their crimes in blood and be buried with the dragon men can he quell the hatred in his heart.

The extent of his murderous intent is evident.

This alone reveals the significant difference in personality between the Silver Dragon King and the Gold Dragon King.

The Silver Dragon King's immediate thought was to appease the situation, minimize the damage, and resolve the issue altogether.

He never intended to fight to the death with Wei Dai and the others; instead, he was thinking about how to temporarily avoid their sharp edge and hide like a coward.

What the Golden Dragon King was thinking about was avenging the dragon people and making those human mushroom masters pay for their blood debt.

The dragon people and dragon girls who just died were just first or second-level dragon mushroom masters, who could only do lowly jobs like preparing ingredients in the Dragon Palace.

In terms of value, most people here probably wouldn't take this risk for a few dragon people.

However, the Golden Dragon King was different; in his eyes, there was no distinction between high and low, noble and lowly among dragon people.

Every dragonman is a fine son of the Dragon Palace, and their life is far more precious than that of a human.

If one dragonman lad dies, those guys must pay with the lives of ten or even a hundred humans.

Hit a punch to avoid a hundred punches.

Even if we can't wipe out that group of human mushroom masters, we must let them know what pain is.

Only in this way will those guys stop coming to harass the Dragon Palace endlessly.

The Golden Dragon King hadn't been able to kill them before, but now he was determined to teach those human mushroom masters a lesson.

The Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King are two completely opposite extremes.

Their ideas were neither right nor wrong; they each had their own reasons, and all were for the sake of the Dragon Palace.

However, if this disagreement continues indefinitely, it will inevitably leave hidden dangers that will eventually erupt.

"Brother, why are you acting rashly at a time like this?"

"No, no, if something goes wrong, it will only bring more trouble to the Dragon Palace."

"A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan. I think it's best to avoid confrontation for now."

"The silver water accumulated in the Dragon Palace is enough for us to lie dormant in the mirage for three to five years without coming out."

"In three to five years, those human mushroom masters will leave on their own. Why bother with such a large-scale conflict..."

The Silver Dragon King frowned and quickly tried to dissuade him.

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Golden Dragon King waving his hand.

"Hide, hide, hide, when will this end?"

"If we don't eliminate this group of human mushroom masters, even if the Dragon Palace disappears into a mirage, there's no guarantee they won't find out something."

"The Dragon Palace has been operating this place for a long time, and the surrounding seas are full of mushroom beasts raised by my Dragon Palace."

"These mushroom beasts can't be brought into the mirage. If the Dragon Palace flees, are we just going to hand over all these mushroom beasts to them?"

"They're nothing more than two level-five mushroom masters. If you're afraid, I alone am enough."

The Golden Dragon King's attitude was firm and left no room for doubt.

He paid no attention to what the Silver Dragon King thought. After speaking, he transformed into a rainbow of light and fled from the Dragon Palace, heading straight for the sea.

"You...ah..."

Upon seeing this, the Silver Dragon King was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged.

However, he finally sighed, his face full of helplessness, and moved quickly to catch up.

After the two people walked away...

About three to five breaths later...

Just listen to a "click"!
A crack suddenly appeared in the surrounding space.

The next moment, Xiao Chusheng, who had concealed his form using some kind of mushroom, fell out of it unharmed.

"Well, that was a close call..."

"If it weren't for the critical moment when the use of the deadly move left behind by the Formless Celestial Venerable was still uncertain, I might have really died here."

Xiao Chusheng looked terrified, his eyes filled with pain.

The uncertainty of fate was the strongest life-saving trump card he obtained from the inheritance of the Formless.

Once activated, it can turn the tide and change the facts; it is the true power of the Heavenly Venerable.

Wu Liang's Rules and Regulations, Bai Lai's Formless Hand Seal, and Xiao Chusheng's Uncertain Heaven and Earth are all life-saving trump cards that can only be used once. Unlike the Rules and Regulations, which can be used three times, the Formless Heavenly Venerable only left behind the Uncertain Heaven and Earth killing move.

Now that Xiao Chusheng has used him here, how could he not feel heartbroken?

"Curiosity killed the cat. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have tried to sneak in..."

Xiao Chusheng was filled with regret, his face turning deathly pale.

Although he changed the fact that he was going to die by using the "Undetermined Heaven and Earth" technique, he was still inevitably affected to some extent and was not as unharmed as he appeared on the surface.

Not only is one-tenth of the true qi lost, but because the qi flows through the sky, a lot of impurities also accumulate in the body.

If these impurities are not completely removed, they may affect his ability to stimulate the growth of mushrooms.

However, regardless of the circumstances, he survived the full-force attack of two peak fifth-level mushroom masters by paying such a small price, which was already a huge bargain.

If this gets out, it would probably make him famous throughout Beihai and a prominent figure.

Of course, Xiao Chusheng did not become complacent because of this.

After all, in his view, it was perfectly normal for a young Venerable to have such abilities.

Just at this moment...

A series of noisy footsteps approached from afar.

Clearly, the Dragon Palace's Dragon Man Mushroom Masters had already reacted and were preparing to clean up the battlefield and salvage the situation.

"time to go."

Xiao Chusheng, relying on his ability to conceal himself, was not worried that these dragon people would discover him.

What truly worried him was whether the bell that had previously exposed him would ring again.

If the bell rings again, causing the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King to return, that would be terrible.

You have to understand, he doesn't have another case of uncertainty.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chusheng immediately wanted to pass through the mirage and leave the Dragon Palace.

However, the next moment, he was dumbfounded.

As soon as Xiao Chusheng touched the mirage that enveloped the Dragon Palace, he actually passed right through it.

Unlike those shrimp soldiers and crab generals, they failed to transform from the illusory to the real and escape the Dragon Palace.

It turned out that when the Silver Dragon King was leaving, he was worried that the dragon people would be enraged by the tragic deaths of their kin and rashly leave the palace, causing further trouble.

So, without thinking, he also added a mirage to the Dragon Palace.

The Dragon Palace is now completely sealed off, with no one allowed to leave or enter, ready to disappear into a mirage at any time.

In this situation, only those who possess the Dragon Palace Token can freely enter and exit the Dragon Palace.

Most of these Dragon Palace tokens are held by the dragon princes and grandsons, and even powerful dragon-man mushroom masters cannot access them.

Xiao Chusheng, however, was completely unaware of this...

……

At the same time, on the sea.

"what happened?"

"Your godson has been down there for so long, how come there's not a single ripple?"

"Could it be that your godson was slapped to death underwater by that fifth-level mushroom master?"

Wei Dai chewed on the thigh meat of the unknown creature with gusto, his mouth dripping with oil.

He ate his rice with gusto while jokingly teasing Granny Shi.

Granny Shi chuckled strangely and took out a mushroom.

"My godson isn't going to die so easily."

"If he dies, this Blood Pact Mushroom will definitely react."

"Just you wait and see, my godson will probably be back soon with good news."

Grandma Shi spoke with absolute certainty and confidence.

Others may not know Xiao Chusheng's abilities, but she knows them very well.

To capture Xiao Chusheng, she went to great lengths, losing many of her subordinates in the process, before finally managing to subdue him and force him to sign a blood pact, turning him into her 'pet'.

With the Blood Pact Mushroom in hand, Xiao Chusheng's life was essentially in her grasp.

This is why Xiao Chusheng listens to Granny Shi so readily, and even risks going into the water to find the Fifth-Rank Mushroom Master.

"hope so……"

"I think that kid does seem to have some skills. It would be such a pity if he died."

Wei Dai smacked his lips and spoke with a cheerful smile.

Just then, Granny Shi, who was standing nearby, seemed to sense something and her expression suddenly changed.

Without thinking, she was about to say something.

However, before it could even speak, an unimaginable sense of terror instantly emanated from underwater, approaching from afar.

A terrifying aura, like a mountain, enveloped everyone on the ship.

This aura was almost tangible, carrying an overwhelming killing intent.

The low-level pirate mushroom master, who was responsible for odd jobs, was so overwhelmed by this terrifying aura that he bled from all seven orifices and fainted on the spot.

Wei Dai realized what was happening, his expression changed drastically, and he quickly dropped the thigh bone in his hand.

The next moment, the Golden Dragon King's loud and deep voice, filled with killing intent and like a muffled thunderclap, reached everyone's ears.

"I once said..."

"If I see you again, I will kill you one by one."

"It seems you've taken my words as a mere whisper in the wind."

"If that's the case, then all of you should die!"
