Mushroom Man

"Oh dear, old blind man, what are you saying?"

"I didn't lie to you at all, please don't wrong me!"

"I just noticed that you, Elder Blind, have not returned yet, so I planned to talk to this human mushroom master first to see if I could pry out some information about the villains."

Xiao Chusheng remained calm and composed, showing no signs of panic.

He feigned grievance, appearing as if he had been wronged.

Upon hearing this, the blind old man immediately snorted coldly.

"You filthy human, stop pretending..."

“The mute old man has long been discerning and has seen through your disguise.”

"Although I don't know what method you used to deceive me, there is absolutely no way you can leave here unscathed."

"I have already spread the word about this place, and Lord Golden Dragon King will arrive soon."

"Surrender, you filthy human..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chusheng's expression darkened.

If we were to ask who he fears most in the entire Dragon Palace, it would undoubtedly be the Golden Dragon King.

That guy was incredibly strong; even Granny Shi and Wei Dai working together couldn't defeat him. He was simply no match for him.

Now that guy is about to arrive, how could Xiao Chusheng sit idly by and wait for his doom?

Escape! We must escape immediately!
"You two lowly dragon people dare to stop me? You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!"

Xiao Chusheng's expression changed as quickly as turning the pages of a book; the grievance and injustice on his face instantly transformed into a chilling killing intent.

As the saying goes, he who strikes first is the strongest, and he who strikes last will suffer.

Without hesitation, Xiao Chusheng activated the fourth-level mushroom... Twisted Mushroom!

The next moment, his eyes flickered and fell on the blind old man.

In an instant, the blind old man's body seemed to be twisted by some force, forming a vortex.

As Xiao Chusheng watched, the vortex became increasingly distorted, even deforming the blind old man.

It is conceivable that once this vortex is fully formed, the blind old man will be twisted into two pieces.

However, at that moment, the silent old man suddenly raised his cane and slammed it against the ground.

With a loud "bang!"
Suddenly, rustling sounds rang out from all directions of the Dragon-Trapping Prison.

One by one, tiny, black ants, about the size of a grain of rice, emerged from the ground and swarmed towards Xiao Chusheng.

The blind old man and the mute man dared to jump out and stop Xiao Chusheng before the Golden Dragon King arrived, which clearly shows that they had made thorough preparations.

These ants were all slave beasts kept by the mute man; their numbers were enormous, densely packed, almost filling the entire third level of the Dragon-Trapping Prison.

Xiao Chusheng was exposed because of these ants.

These ants are the eyes and ears of the mute ant, enabling him to clearly distinguish which ones harbor ill intentions.

A large number of ants swarmed in; although each ant was not particularly strong, their sheer numbers were enough to kill the elephant.

If Xiao Chusheng doesn't dodge and break free from the ants' encirclement, even if he manages to defeat the blind old man, he himself will likely face dire consequences.

After taking a breath and considering the pros and cons, Xiao Chusheng immediately and without hesitation dodged through the air, temporarily abandoning the attempt to continue activating the Twisted Mushroom.

Xiao Chusheng flashed away, putting distance between himself and the dense swarm of ants.

The twisted mushroom's interruption brought the blind old man back to his senses.

"court death!"

With a shout, the blind old man flicked his sleeve and released a large number of black mosquitoes.

These mosquitoes were also densely packed, in clusters, looking at them at first glance like pitch-black clouds.

The cloud of mosquitoes hurtled toward where Xiao Chusheng had appeared.

Ants on the ground and mosquitoes in the sky, working together, make it almost impossible to hide or avoid them.

For a moment, Xiao Chusheng felt as if he had nowhere to turn.

This is not finished!
At the same moment, the blind old man and the mute old man simultaneously unleashed their killing moves.

Slave's Killing Move...

An ant hole can cause a dam to collapse, and a swarm of mosquitoes can become a thunderclap!
Suddenly, the ground beneath Xiao Chusheng's feet collapsed.

It turned out that the soil beneath its feet was actually made up of ants.

These ants surged like quicksand, gradually engulfing Xiao Chusheng.

Xiao Chusheng wanted to break free and retreat, but he was trapped in the ant swarm and could not extricate himself, and his body sank rapidly.

Taking advantage of this moment, the swarms of mosquitoes gathered together.

They were like a real dark cloud, emitting the sounds of thunder and lightning.

The next moment, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck down towards Xiao Chusheng with lightning speed.

Even so, Xiao Chusheng remained fearless and showed no signs of panic.

At the critical moment, he took a deep breath and shouted out loud.

"Godfather, save me!"

As soon as Xiao Chusheng finished speaking, the sound of chains breaking rang out.

At this moment, Wei Dai broke free of the rusty chains that had somehow grown over them.

He sprang from the dragon pillar like a giant, bouncy ball of flesh, crashing into the thunder.

The lightning struck him, but failed to cause any harm; he was simply thrown away.

That's right, even something as intangible as lightning, Wei Dai could still bounce it away.

The lightning bolts that were deflected landed on the ground, causing the deaths of a large number of ants.

The mute old man's face turned deathly pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. "Hahaha..."

"You lowly dragon people, do you think you have me cornered?"

Xiao Chusheng flashed and escaped from the ant hole, appearing beside Wei Dai.

He glanced at the blind old man and the mute man, who looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy, with a disdainful and amused expression.

Do these two guys really think he's a fool?
How could he possibly fight two level 4 mushroom masters all by himself?

From the moment the blind old man and the mute old man appeared, Xiao Chusheng had a premonition that this situation was unlikely to end well.

So, while he talked and negotiated with the blind old man, he secretly used the rusty mushroom to help Wei Dai escape from his predicament.

Finally, all his hard work paid off, and Wei Dai managed to escape successfully!

Wei and Dai are actually not in good condition right now.

Having already suffered severe injuries from the beating by the Golden Dragon King, he was then imprisoned, and his true energy was suppressed, from which he has not yet fully recovered.

Under these circumstances, it's hard to say how much strength Wei Dai, who wasn't particularly skilled in combat to begin with, would still have.

Regardless, Wei Dai is at least a fifth-level mushroom master.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Wei Dai could easily defeat two old, half-buried fourth-level mushroom masters.

At this moment, both the blind old man and the mute old man showed fear on their faces, and dared not make any further rash moves.

"Godson, you did a good job."

"But right now, Father is really hungry."

"Let your father eat and drink his fill, and then I'll lead you to find a way to survive."

Wei Dai didn't even glance at the blind old man and the mute man. Instead, he patted his bloodied and mangled belly and made a series of gurgling sounds.

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Du Huaishui and the others who were still unconscious and tied to the dragon pillar.

These few unlicensed mushroom chefs were all his trusted henchmen.

However, now, Wei Dai actually spit on them.

"Slurp... As your leader, I'm in dire straits myself, so I'm afraid I can't save you."

"Since you're all going to die anyway, you might as well die sooner and be reborn, and fill my stomach."

"You are all my carefully cultivated confidants, my right-hand men, my brothers. I suppose you should be quite happy to be devoured by me, right?"

Wei Dai muttered to himself, seemingly to no one.

After he finished speaking, he felt no psychological burden and immediately opened his blood-red mouth and sucked hard!
A killer move for the esophagus... Eat a complete and nourishing meal!
"Pfft-"

A sickening sound instantly echoed throughout the surroundings.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the group of sea pirates on the dragon pillar had all their flesh and blood extracted from their bodies.

In this scene, it was as if some terrifying suction force was forcibly pulling the flesh and blood away from the bones, making the scene extremely bloody.

And all that flesh and blood that was sucked away undoubtedly ended up in Wei Dai's stomach.

In less than a breath, Wei Dai had devoured his own men, leaving him completely alone.

The whole process happened extremely quickly, so fast that even the blind old man and the mute old man couldn't react in time.

By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late.

Having consumed a large amount of flesh and blood, Wei Dai's weak aura suddenly surged, and his tattered and battered body rapidly healed at that moment.

The terrifying nature of the esophagus can be glimpsed from this passage, revealing some clues about its potential dangers.

Given time, Wei Dai can recover to his peak condition simply by eating.

"Hahahahaha..."

"This is only half full, not enough at all."

Wei Dai smacked his lips, his predatory gaze landing on the blind old man and the mute man.

The blind old man and the mute old man were on high alert, sweating profusely. They quickly used various methods to attract even more ants and mosquitoes.

"Godfather, we don't need to waste time with these two old guys."

"Right now, escaping is the priority, otherwise it won't be long before the guy who trapped you here comes to kill you."

Seeing that Wei Dai was still going to argue with those two old guys, Xiao Chusheng quickly spoke up and tried to dissuade him.

Time is money these days. If Wei puts on the head and they get cornered by the Golden Dragon King, that would be terrible.

Fortunately, after being modified by the unpredictable nature of human nature, Wei Dai has become a calm, composed, and clear-headed person.

Therefore, when he heard Xiao Chusheng say that, he immediately calmed down.

Especially when the image of the Golden Dragon King, high above and invincible, appeared in his mind...

Wei Dai, who had been devouring people without restraint, suddenly showed a hint of fear on his face.

"Yes, leave quickly!"

"I absolutely cannot run into that guy again, or he'll smash my big stomach to pieces again."

As Wei Dai spoke, he led Xiao Chusheng, attempting to force their way out of the third level of the Dragon-Trapping Prison.

However, how could the blind old man and the mute old man sit idly by and watch them escape?

Although the blind old man and the mute old man were wary of Wei Dai, they would not back down and let the villain who might endanger the safety of the Dragon Palace go.

Without hesitation, they risked their lives and took action to intercept the two.

The blind old man gritted his teeth and desperately tried to muster his inner energy.

"I was blind and deceived, which led to the escape of the villains."

"If I let you escape now, how can I face anyone to live?"

"You're not going anywhere today... like mosquitoes drawn to a flame!" (End of Chapter)
