Mushroom Man

Bones...skull?
On his deathbed, Wei Dai, who was in a daze, heard these words and, as if in a final burst of energy, his eyes regained some clarity.

Seeing the furious expressions on the faces of the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King, he knew perfectly well what might have happened in the Dragon Palace.

Wei Dai, of course, had no idea what so-called white bones and skulls were.

However, this did not stop him from gloating.

"Hahaha...cough cough...hahaha!"

Wei Dai didn't say anything, he just laughed heartily, and his eyes were full of mockery when he looked at the twin dragons.

"court death!"

The Golden Dragon King was already furious, and he could not tolerate a dying insect laughing at him so recklessly.

He flicked his sleeve, and a burst of air shot out.

The powerful airflow instantly shattered Wei Dai's body.

Wei Dai's laughter stopped abruptly, and his body exploded into a cloud of blood mist as the air currents churned around him.

This time, with no backup plan and no trump cards, he was undoubtedly dead beyond any doubt.

"Completely isolate the Dragon Palace and disappear into the mirage."

"No matter what, I will find all these petty thieves hiding in the Dragon Palace and tear them to pieces."

Suppressing his anger, the Golden Dragon King coldly gave the Silver Dragon King an order, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

Completely isolated from the Dragon Palace, they vanished into a mirage.

This is undoubtedly a preparation for a major conflict, a desperate attempt to trap and defeat the enemy.

Although the Silver Dragon King was furious, he was not blinded by anger.

When he heard that the Golden Dragon King was planning to make the Dragon Palace disappear into a mirage, he guessed that this guy might act impulsively and do something irrational.

The Silver Dragon King's expression changed slightly, and he opened his mouth as if to speak.

However, before he could speak, the Golden Dragon King had already transformed into a rainbow of light and escaped from the Dragon-Trapping Prison, seemingly to go and investigate the whereabouts of the White Bone Skeleton and Xiao Chusheng.

Seeing this, the Silver Dragon King sighed.

"The Dragon Palace has been plagued by one misfortune after another lately; it truly is a time of great turmoil..."

……

at the same time.

An island in Beihai.

Dressed in a gilded black robe, Zhuge Huowang, exuding a chilling aura, sat cross-legged on a rock.

He was toying with a mushroom in his hand, shaped like a cup with gold on top and silver on the bottom, as if waiting for something.

About three to five breaths later...

Zhuge Huowang nodded slightly and casually pushed it.

Then, the cup-shaped mushroom, propelled by him, disappeared into the void.

The next moment, a cup with silver on top and gold on the bottom appeared out of the empty void.

"Interesting. Although it's only a level 5 mushroom, it's quite interesting..."

Zhuge Huowang raised an eyebrow with interest.

The interesting five-turn mushroom he mentioned was clearly the cup that disappeared and then reappeared.

These two cups actually belong to the same mushroom, called the "Pushing Cups and Exchanging Cups Mushroom".

This mushroom is made up of two cups, one with gold on top and silver on the bottom, and the other with silver on top and gold on the bottom.

Only when the two cups are combined do they form a complete "Cheers and Mushroom" (a type of mushroom).

This mushroom can rely on its ubiquitous cavities to communicate with each other, transport supplies, and so on.

Zhuge Huowang took the silver cup, casually poured it out, and a piece of paper floated down from it.

The note was written by an unknown person, but it contained two lines of striking blood-red characters...

[The High Priest of the Holy Church, using the Celestial Mushroom to glimpse the secrets of heaven, vomited blood and shortened his lifespan, thus obtaining a prophecy.]

[When the demons descend upon the world, the dragon people will rise; the hidden dragon lies dormant in the abyss, ready to soar to the heavens.]

After reading the note, Zhuge Huowang's gaze suddenly sharpened.

He opened his mouth and spat out a ray of spiritual light that landed on the paper.

The note instantly turned into wisps of smoke and vanished without a trace.

"What is the meaning of the celestial prophecy that the Grand Master of Fate has given this time?"

"When the Heavenly Demon descends, will the Dragon People rise to power?"

Zhuge Huowang frowned, a wave of emotions washing over him.

A demon has descended upon the world?

Could this be referring to extraterrestrial demons?

Could it be that extraterrestrial demons have appeared in the Mushroom Realm recently?
As a celestial being of the Holy Sect, Zhuge Huowang naturally knew what extraterrestrial demons were.

How could the extraterrestrial demons be connected with the dragon people of Dangxing?

Aren't the Dragon People just a bunch of mushrooms?

How can a bunch of mushroom logs be considered a success?

Zhuge Huowang was completely baffled by this, and even felt that the fable was somewhat fantastical and incomprehensible.

In today's world, the status of the human race is deeply rooted, and there is absolutely no possibility that the common ruler of heaven and earth will be shaken.

However, the divine prophecy of the Great Fate tells him that the dragon-human race, which is the material of mushrooms, is about to rise and usher in great prosperity!
This is tantamount to telling him that the pigs on the dinner table are going to jump up and replace humans...

This is the parable of the Great Master of Fate, which has never been wrong.

Otherwise, Zhuge Huowang would have suspected that the Holy Sect was playing a joke on him.

"The dragon people shall rise to prominence..."

"As far as I know, the dragon people in the mushroom world should have already become extinct."

"If this is true, could it be that some mushroom fairy's blessed land has nurtured a group of dragon people with extraordinary talent?"

"But if that's the case, what does 'a hidden dragon lies in the abyss, then soars into the sky' mean in the last two lines?"

Zhuge Huowang stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

And it was at this moment...

Zhuge Huowang's eyes suddenly flickered, as if he had sensed something.

"Huh?" "This is... my 'Finding Mushroom' is ruined."

"That little guy named Wei Dai is dead?"

Zhuge Huowang once left Wei Dai a mushroom for finding people.

Now that Wei Dai has died and his path has vanished, the Seeking Mushroom has also disappeared.

As the true owner of the "Searching Mushroom," Zhuge Huowang naturally sensed something.

In an instant, Zhuge Huowang realized what was happening.

"That little guy named Wei Dai, although he is as weak as an ant in front of me, is already one of the top five mushroom masters in Beihai."

"How could a mere fifth-level mushroom master suddenly die and disappear? There must be something fishy going on here."

"It seems my guess was right. That kid definitely didn't run far back then and is still hiding in that area of ​​the sea."

"Wei Dai may have discovered something, which led to his death."

"But how did that kid, with his cultivation level, manage to kill Wei Dai?"

"Could it be that that kid is hiding some kind of trump card from a Venerable One?"

Zhuge Huowang was lost in thought, his face shifting between light and shadow.

Regardless of whether Wei Dai died at Wu Liang's hands or something else entirely...

It's certain that something unexpected happened in that area of ​​the sea, and it's worth his attention to check it out.

However, he still needs to stay here to meet with the leader of the North Sea Demonic Path alongside Ancestor Yuan Tu, and he simply cannot spare the time...

Upon thinking of this, Zhuge Huowang's mind immediately stirred.

The next moment, black smoke billowed out, and three thousand fragments of the soul manifested.

“You guys go to that area of ​​the sea right away. I want to see if it’s really that kid who’s behind this.”

At Zhuge Huowang's command, all three thousand divided souls were dispatched.

There were a total of three thousand divided souls, each of which was equivalent to a Zhuge Huowang.

Now, with three thousand Zhuge Huowangs coming out in full force, it's clear they intend to turn that sea area upside down.

Upon receiving the order, the three thousand divided souls transformed into wisps of black smoke, scattering in all directions and displaying their unique abilities as they headed straight for that sea area.

Zhuge Huowang dispersed his divided soul, his face turning ashen white, like a corpse.

He narrowed his eyes as he gazed in the direction where the three thousand divided souls had departed.

For some reason, he felt a vague sense of unease at that moment...

……

Dragon Palace.

Peach Blossom Residence.

Wu Liang sat cross-legged inside the room, seemingly resting with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, a sharp gaze swept across the Dragon Palace, then lingered on him for a moment.

Wu Liang remained expressionless and unmoved.

The owner of that gaze was none other than the enraged Golden Dragon King.

The Golden Dragon King surveyed the entire Dragon Palace, hoping to find the skeleton and Xiao Chusheng who had caused trouble earlier.

The place he focused his attention on was undoubtedly Wu Liang's residence.

That's right!

The Golden Dragon King had absolutely no trust in Wu Liang, and even suspected that the suddenly appearing white skeleton might be related to Wu Liang.

After all, the appearance of that white skeleton was too strange.

Apart from Xiao Chusheng and Wei Dai, there should have been no other human mushroom masters causing trouble in the Dragon Palace.

The sudden appearance of a skeleton would make anyone suspect that it was the work of Wu Liang, the only human mushroom master besides those villains.

However, it is a pity that...

No matter how the Golden Dragon King looked at it, he couldn't see anything unusual about Wu Liang.

Even after investigating the whole story, the only feedback received was that Wu Liang had never left his residence from beginning to end.

Under these circumstances, the Golden Dragon King had no choice but to withdraw his attention, temporarily ruling out Wu Liang, and instead continue to inspect other suspicious locations.

And after the Golden Dragon King withdrew his gaze...

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Wu Liang slowly opened his eyes.

He remained indifferent, extending his finger to lightly tap the ground.

The next moment, a rustling sound rang out.

Then the sawtooth centipede twisted its body and burst out of the ground.

At this moment, if someone were to look closely, they would discover that beneath the jagged golden centipede's ferocious mandibles, it was actually holding a token of non-duality.

"Thanks a lot……"

Wu Liang spoke softly, then retrieved his Formless Token from the mouth of the serrated golden centipede.

The serrated golden centipede buzzed and then burrowed back into the dark corner.

Wu Liang stroked the Wuxiang Token and couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"The Golden Dragon King is nothing special..."

No one could have imagined that the white skeleton that the Golden Dragon King was searching for so desperately, as well as the dragon people who had been captured, were actually inside this small Wuxiang Token!

The white skeleton that wreaked havoc in the Dragon Palace was none other than the Bone Immortal.

Wu Liang did this to save Xiao Chusheng's life, and also to take the opportunity to seize a batch of Dragonman mushrooms.

Therefore, he specially sent out Bone Master, intending to let him cause a great disturbance.

However, making a scene is easy, but getting out unscathed is the real challenge.

In this situation, Wu Liang had a sudden inspiration and handed the Wuxiang Token to Gu Zhenren.

If Bone Master wants to escape unscathed after obtaining the Formless Token, he only needs to hide in the Demon Suppression Tower, and then the Sawtooth Golden Centipede can retrieve the Formless Token.

As part of the deception of the Immortal Mushroom, the Formless Order itself has a certain ability to conceal its true nature.

That's why Bone Master was able to vanish into thin air, leaving no trace for the dragon people.

Wu Liang flipped his hand to put away the Wuxiang Token, then his eyes flickered and his mind fell on the blood-sucking mosquitoes.

By observing the blood-sucking mosquitoes and flies, he quickly discerned Xiao Chusheng's current predicament... (End of Chapter)
