Mushroom Man

"There is indeed a ghost!"

Upon seeing this, Wu Liang's eyes immediately gleamed.

At this moment, the actions of this dragon maid have clearly deviated from the Dragon Palace.

It's still unclear whether this guy's actions were instigated or voluntary.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Wu Liang wished he could immediately capture the two dragon maids, torture them severely, and interrogate them thoroughly.

However, he quickly calmed down and did not act rashly.

"These two dragon maids are not simple..."

"If I'm not mistaken, this woman is planting mushrooms all over her palace; she must be setting up some kind of mushroom array."

"A being who can master techniques like mushroom arrays cannot be an ordinary second-level mushroom master."

"Who knows, these two might be hiding their cultivation levels, or someone else might be impersonating them."

"Whichever possibility it may be, I need to treat it with caution."

Wu Liang's eyes flickered as he calmed himself and pondered the matter.

What is known so far is that these two dragon maids harbor ill will towards him, and their targets are most likely him and Ao Miaoyin.

Under these circumstances, he was even less able to personally deal with the two dragon maids.

If you accidentally fall into their trap, that would be a real problem.

Therefore, reporting this matter in its entirety to the Silver Dragon King seems like a good option.

You must understand that at this point, he was no longer a lone wolf.

With the Silver Dragon King as his backer, he could easily resolve this hidden danger by having his father-in-law intervene.

However, this would require explaining why he knew that the two dragon maids had problems.

He couldn't very well tell his cheap father-in-law that he had released a sawtooth centipede that had been secretly monitoring the princess's palace, could he?
Thinking of this, Wu Liang couldn't help but shake his head.

"inappropriate……"

"We must avoid creating unnecessary complications, otherwise, if the situation cannot be clearly explained, it will inevitably lead to trouble."

"Those two dragon maids arranged so many mushrooms in the princess's palace, they were obviously targeting Ao Miaoyin."

"If that's the case, perhaps I can play along and wait and see."

"Without alerting them, we should wait for the right moment to act and see what these two little dragon maids are up to."

"If they really intend to do something to Ao Miaoyin, then I can take the opportunity to play the hero and save the damsel in distress, it won't be too late..."

As Wu Liang's thoughts raced, he made up his mind.

He glanced one last time at 'Ah Lan,' who was still acting suspiciously, before looking away, leaving only the sawtooth centipede to continue monitoring.

"Next, we can focus on refining the Dragon Blood Mushroom..."

"There are so many dragon mushroom materials here that we can refine mushrooms in two days."

"Looking at it this way, there's no need to rush. Perhaps I can take this opportunity to go and have a look at the Dragon Locking Well."

Wu Liang kept thinking about that Dragon-Locking Well.

Therefore, now that he has finally found a suitable opportunity to spy on the Locked Dragon Well, he will naturally not let it go easily.

With a thought, Wu Liang activated the Void-Breaking Mushroom, and his figure instantly moved from the second floor to the third floor.

Relying on Xiao Chusheng's memories, he followed step by step, groping his way forward in the dark.

Before long, a square, moss-covered, and seemingly inconspicuous abandoned well came into view.

Without a doubt, this is the so-called Dragon Locking Well.

Wu Liang walked around the Dragon Locking Well several times but found nothing special about it.

However, just to be on the safe side, he did not approach the Locked Dragon Well rashly.

"I need to find someone to scout ahead for me..."

Wu Liang thought of the blind old man who had said that no one who jumped into this well had ever survived and had never come back up.

That's why he didn't intend to break the law himself, but instead planned to find an unlucky person to take his place.

Wu Liang doesn't have many capable people at his disposal. Yan Zhaodi is indispensable and cannot leave the Demon Suppression Tower.

As for Bone Master and Iron Slave, they both possess considerable strength and can be further developed.

Under these circumstances, Wu Liang would naturally not easily choose them to serve as cannon fodder to scout ahead.

If someone sends someone to lock the dragon well and they never return, that would be a huge loss.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Wu Liang finally decided to target the unfortunate person as Madam Red and the Blood Corpse.

These two are the third young master of Bajiao Mountain and his wife.

Ever since he took it into the Demon Suppression Tower, it has never been able to play any role.

Now is the perfect time to call him out and explore the Dragon Locking Well for him.

If he were to perish inside, Wu Liang would not feel sorry for him.

"Hmm... let's do it this way."

"However, compared to Lady Red, the Blood Corpse is still somewhat useful."

"At the very least, it can be further nurtured and refined into a Blood Demon Heavenly Corpse."

Upon realizing this, Wu Liang decisively released the Red Lady, who had been idly inside the Demon Suppression Tower.

Lady Red looked bewildered, seemingly at a loss for what to do.

When she saw Wu Liang, she came to her senses and quickly knelt down to pay her respects.

"Father, do you have any instructions for Ah Hong?"

Madam Hong spoke respectfully with a look of filial piety on her face.

To this day, her cultivation level remains unchanged at the second stage, but she has acquired a considerable number of slave-path fungi on her body.

These slave mushrooms were obtained by embezzling funds from the mushroom refining process for the dragon people some time ago.

Lady Red has no shortage of servile mushrooms, only mushroom beasts to enslave.

That's why she seemed so useless under Wu Liang's command.

It can only be said that Wu Liang, who had nothing, was simply incapable of raising a slave-level mushroom master.

Making Ah Hong practice the slave path was undoubtedly the worst possible choice.

"Put these on and replace your own eyes, then go down into this well and explore it properly for your father."

Wu Liang remained indifferent and did not waste any more words with him.

He flipped his hand, took out a mushroom, and handed it to Madam Red.

And this mushroom is none other than a second-stage Blood-Eyed Mushroom.

He had initially wanted to combine this Blood Eye Mushroom into a Blood Flower Tube, but he was unable to find a suitable Illusionary Path Mushroom.

Now it can only serve as a third eye, to be handed over to Madam Hong to take down so that he can see what is in the Dragon Locking Well.

"This...is my father."

Upon hearing this, Madam Hong glanced at the bottomless Dragon Locking Well, a hint of hesitation and fear flashing across her face.

However, the long-term brainwashing had long since rendered her unable to disobey her 'father's' orders.

Moreover, she also wanted to make her 'father' proud and prove that she was not useless or ineffective.

Lady Red hesitated for only a moment before overcoming her fear and her eyes became exceptionally firm.

She took a deep breath and went straight up and gouged out her own eyes.

For a moment, Madam Red trembled with pain, her hands covered in blood.

Without hesitation, she took the blood-eyed mushroom and placed it in her eye socket.

In no time, Lady Red regained her sight in the eye that had been gouged out, though it was now completely bloodshot.

After doing all this, Madam Hong spoke to Wu Liang in a trembling voice, "Father, I'm going now. Tell Mother not to worry."

Wu Liang nodded slightly, without saying a word.

Seeing this, Lady Red mustered her courage and leaped into the Dragon-Locking Well… (End of Chapter)
