Monster collectors on the cross-platform

Setting up a trap here for no reason is just an attempt to cover up the truth.

After quickly destroying the poison gas trap above, Huo finally found the secret chamber where the Eye Demon was hiding.

Breaking open the door to the secret chamber, Huo flapped his wings and flew inside.

Upon entering, the first thing you see is an exquisite statue.

The sculpture depicts none other than the Eye Demon.

Huo wasn't a researcher yet, and couldn't tell if it was the one he had killed, but the carving was exquisite, and he didn't know where the Eye Demon had found it.

Besides the prominent statues, the most eye-catching thing inside the secret room is the large bed made of various fabrics.

Huo then walked to the bedside and began searching.

This time, Huo Huan was not disappointed. Not long after, he found an exquisitely crafted treasure chest inside the bed.

The treasure chest wasn't locked and could be opened easily, but considering the various traps along the way, Huo still thought it best to be a little more cautious.

Retreating to the entrance of the secret room, Huo also unleashed a telekinetic ray.

Under Huo Huan's control, the telekinetic ray transformed into a pair of invisible giant hands, opening the treasure chest from a distance.

As it turns out, Huo's worries were somewhat unnecessary; the treasure chest didn't have any traps set up. However, it's always good to be cautious when traveling.

Seeing that there was no danger, Huo walked a few steps to the treasure chest to check what good things it contained.

The treasure chest contained very few items, only three in total.

Huo then took out a grayish-white spherical object to examine.

Name: Mind Flayer's Brain (Purple)

Type: Material

Weight: 2 kg

Introduction: The brain of a Mind Flayer, for some unknown reason, became a collectible of a Beholder. For certain special individuals, the brain of a Mind Flayer is a rare experimental subject. Perhaps you can try to taste it yourself, since Mind Flayers themselves prefer to consume the brains of other races.

Huo put the brain, which was of no use to him, into his spatial backpack and then picked up the second item.

Title: Symphony of Fate (Gold)

Type: Consumables, Book Pages

Weight: 100g

Effect: Echo of Fate

Description: A parchment inscribed with the symphony of destiny; gifted individuals can learn this skill of echoing destiny.

A piece of parchment similar to a skill card, but not as convenient as a skill card for direct learning and mastery.

Moreover, the skills recorded on this parchment require talent to learn, and Huo doesn't know if he has talent, but it is still a gold legendary item. Even if he can't learn it, he can still sell it for Zongwang coins.

After putting away the parchment, Huo looked at the last item.

Name: Gourmet Robert's Crystal Dinnerware (Oddity)

Type: Tableware

Weight: 1.23 kg

Effect: The Chef's Gift

Description: A set of tableware that appeared by accident. The tableware retains the gourmet Robert's craving for food. Twice a day, the tableware can generate all kinds of food. The food effects are random and can suit the tastes of any creature. Even two creatures with completely different tastes can eat food that perfectly suits their tastes.

The last item is more like a set, consisting of four plates, one large and one small, and two bowls. Not only does it have a unique effect, but it is also a rare and precious item.

The effects of rare items vary greatly, some are very strong and some are very weak, but they are all items that violate the rules of convention.

The set of tableware in front of Huo was a strange object that didn't seem to have much use, but it might be a lifesaver for people with anorexia.

Chapter 130 Player Squad

With all the tableware put away, the mission to subdue the Eye Demon was successfully completed.

Next, it's time to go to the Mushroom Forest to collect the quest reward.

Huo didn't have high expectations for the reward offered by the Mushroom King.

The fungus race is too weak, and they tend to be lawful good, so they probably can't come up with anything that would impress Huo.

However, since it was an agreed-upon payment, Huo Huan would accept the payment out of respect, even if it was worthless to him.

After leaving the Eye Demon's lair, Huo quickly found the little mushroom man waiting at the edge of the mushroom forest.

As usual, after placing it in his palm, Huo followed its guidance back to the depths of the mushroom forest.

"Respected warriors, congratulations on your triumphant return. This is the reward I have prepared for you." As soon as he returned, the Mushroom King emerged from the shadows with a bunch of mushrooms, trailing a large pile of mushrooms behind him.

Clearly, the Fungus King had already 'seen' the scene of Huo killing the Eye Demon through the almost ubiquitous fungi in the underground world, and had arranged for the Fungus to prepare the reward long ago.

Huo smiled and exchanged a few polite words before accepting the reward handed over by the Mushroom King.

Name: Fungal Communicator (Purple)

Type: Communication equipment

Weight: 100g

Effect: Link

Description: This is a mutated, unique mushroom. When infused with energy, it can connect with fungi within a radius of several kilometers via a fungal communicator, making them your eyes and ears.

Name: Delicious Mushroom (Blue)

Type: Food ingredient

Weight: 50g

Effect: Delicious

Introduction: These are mushrooms specially cultivated by the mushroom people. Adding a small amount of these delicious mushrooms during cooking can make even the worst food taste good.

Huo glanced casually at the mushrooms that the mushroom people were handing over and discovered that they were all high-quality items with different grades.

Especially this fungal communicator, which is actually a purple item. As for those delicious mushrooms, you can keep them for when you're cooking.

Huo curiously picked up the fungal communicator, which looked just like a colorful ordinary mushroom.

Huo also tried to inject energy. As soon as the energy was injected, the fungal communicator trembled slightly, and then an invisible wave emanated from the umbrella.

Countless twinkling lights spread out in Huo Huan's mind, the light spreading further and further, like a bright galaxy.

Is this a fungal community?

As Huo felt the star map in his mind, he gradually came to understand what it represented.

Each bright spot represents a fungus. A high density of bright spots indicates the presence of a large number of fungi in that area, while the absence of bright spots indicates the absence of fungi.

Except for some extreme environments, there are very few places in the entire Underdark without fungi. Even if you can see that there are none, it's just that you may not have noticed them.

At the same time, Huo can also sense the memories of fungi. The memories of fungi are very short, and they can only remember things that happen in a short period of time, but this can also be of great help to Huo.

Huo never expected that a task he casually accepted would bring him such a big surprise. With this fungal communicator, Huo no longer had to worry about getting lost, and finding prey would be much easier.

After carefully storing the large pile of mushrooms, Huo bid farewell to the Mushroom King.

The Mushroom King didn't try to stop them, and watched Huo Huan and the other two leave.

With the fungal communicator, Huo no longer needed the fungal people's guidance to find the exit. He could directly connect with all the fungi around him and easily find the exit.

After leaving the mushroom people's territory, Huo quickly located his prey using the fungal communicator in his hand.

Fungi are not good at observation; they can only vaguely tell what organisms have passed by.

Huo quickly found his target, guided by the fungi.

It was a group of petrified lizards, numbering at least a dozen.

Of course, that's for ordinary adventurers; for Huo Huan, that number of monsters is just a drop in the ocean.

But it's better than nothing. With the combined efforts of Etricia and Leticia, the group of petrified lizards quickly became part of Huo Huan's collection.

Thanks to the fungal communicator, Huo's hunting speed was further enhanced, and he could often find monsters hidden in nooks and crannies in just a short time.

However, the monsters hidden in these corners and outskirts are generally not powerful races, and there are not many of them.

Looking at the slowly growing collection in his hands, Huo couldn't help but set his sights on the drow elves again.

However, thinking of the legends existing in the city of Zhuoer, Huo's restless heart gradually cooled down.

Just as Huo was pondering whether there was any way to bypass the legend and make a killing, the fungi around him brought news again.

The fungus sensed that five medium-sized organisms were resting nearby.

Thinking it was another prey, Huo Huan quickly led the two women over.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be not prey, but rather a player from the online community.

"Who goes there?" The thief on guard not far away was the first to spot Huo Huan approaching, and then alerted the other four members of the group.

Upon hearing the thief's warning, the others put down their food, picked up their weapons, and looked warily in the direction from which Huo Huan and his companions had come.

"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm." Seeing that the other person was also a player from the online community, Huo waved his hand and stepped out from the shadows.

Upon seeing that it was another player from the cross-network, the five-person team relaxed slightly, and no longer pointed their weapons at Huo Huan, but still gripped them tightly.

After all, this is a real battlefield where people really die. Although most players here have the option to respawn, it's still important to remain vigilant.

We shouldn't let our guard down just because we're fellow players on the same online platform. After all, there are a lot of players, and some of them are psychologically disturbed.

"What's going on here? Were you attacked?" Huo Huan only realized when he got closer that all five players in front of him were covered in dirt and grime, each of them was injured, and there was some fresh blood on their equipment.

Seeing Huo Huan walk over with his hands empty and his manner relaxed, the team members were no longer so nervous. A player dressed as a mage, who seemed to be the team leader, gave a wry smile and began to explain to Huo Huan.

"Bad luck, we ran into a drow elf army. There was a powerful mage among them, but luckily we managed to escape," the mage player explained.

The drow elf army is leaving the city!

Huo's eyes lit up. He couldn't do anything about the legendary figure, but he should still have a chance to deal with a group of troops that had left the city.

"I wonder where that unit is?" Huo didn't mince words and asked directly.

"Brother, are you interested? That mage is quite something. Although he's not legendary yet, he's very close. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be in such a sorry state." The mage player knew immediately that Huo still wanted to attack that army, so he immediately tried to dissuade him.
