Chapter 1188 -487: The Giant Red Mushroom
Wang Tao wanted to go back and scrutinize that second layer again to see if he had missed anything.
However, he had already promised Cheng Yiyi, so he would explore the area with Cheng Yiyi first before discussing anything else.
Wang Tao didn’t hide anything and explained the situation he had encountered earlier to Cheng Yiyi.
“You also found an entrance to a second layer, but the strength of those who enter is greatly suppressed?”
Upon hearing Wang Tao’s words, the expressions on Cheng Yiyi and the others’ faces weren’t too good.
Although they hadn’t felt their strength being suppressed at the moment, such an event had happened before, and no one could guarantee it wouldn’t happen again...
Facing a Level 5 Lord was already challenging enough for them. If their strength was suppressed as well, it would indeed be dangerous!
Wang Tao comforted them.
“Uh...”
Ads by PubFutureCheng Yiyi and the others exchanged looks, then nodded.
Although they were still somewhat worried, since they had come, it wouldn’t be possible to be scared off without seeing anything. Exploration had to continue.
The group continued to delve deeper. After leaving the stairs, the deeper they ventured, the thicker the dark fog became.
Even though Wang Tao helped to disperse the fog, he couldn’t remove it all, so the light on their bodies gradually dimmed. They dared not even breathe too loudly for fear of a surprise attack by a Level 5 Lord.
Wang Tao appeared relaxed, his spiritual power constantly monitoring the surroundings. Lightning’s sense of smell was also keen, and if there were any ambushes, he would certainly detect them in advance.
“What a suffocating feeling...”
A soldier in powered armor muttered.
Wang Tao glanced at him, his Status showing no abnormalities, so it was clear that the suppression was psychological.
“Where is that Fifth-Order Mutant Plant you encountered last time?”
At this moment, Wang Tao suddenly asked.
“It’s not in this direction; we avoided it...”
Cheng Yiyi immediately explained.
“Ah? Why?”
Wang Tao frowned. He had come here to kill mutated plants, so why were they intentionally avoiding them?
“Cough, because there are a lot of mutated plants there! Even if we can kill a Level 5 Lord above our levels together, it doesn’t necessarily mean we can overcome all the enemies... That’s why I intentionally chose a different direction to explore.”
Cheng Yiyi was somewhat embarrassed. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Wang Tao’s strength but that there were simply too many mutated plants there.
“I see... Alright.”
Wang Tao nodded, without saying much more.
If there were indeed many Level 5 Lords, even he would need to be very careful, so Cheng Yiyi’s cautiousness was normal.
The group walked a little further, Cheng Yiyi and the others making marks on the ground as they went.
Suddenly, Lightning uttered a soft “woof.”
“Stop!”
Ads by PubFutureCheng Yiyi and the rest didn’t know the reason but immediately readied themselves for combat.
Wang Tao communicated with Lightning via his spiritual power, then explained:
“Lightning smelled the scent of a Level 5 Lord. It’s right ahead, but the exact position is still uncertain.”
Upon hearing this, everyone felt both tense and excited.
If they could kill a Level 5 Lord, this trip would not have been in vain!
The group moved forward cautiously, and after a moment, Wang Tao spoke up:
“I see it.”
Right ahead of the group stood a huge Red Mushroom.
The red color was strangely garish, and even in such a dark environment, the Red Mushroom was conspicuous.
Of course, only Wang Tao could see it, the others couldn’t yet.
[HP: 500000/500000]
[Mana: 500000/500000]
[Level: Level 5, Lord]
[Awakening: True Mirage]
[True Mirage: Defense increased, can create a region of True Mirage and affect the consciousness of all beings within]
The Red Mushroom was a Fifth-Order Lord with a hundred thousand blood, very powerful.
And its Awakening ability made Wang Tao’s eyebrows rise.
When Wang Tao had been in Zijing City, the first Awakener-level Monster he encountered had the “True Mirage”!
At that time, they were all trapped in an Illusion, and even Wang Tao couldn’t tell whether or not it was an Illusion. But in the end, it was killed by Wang Tao, the opponent being a Mutant Wild Boar.
Now seeing this Awakening again, Wang Tao felt somewhat nostalgic.
“That’s a big red mushroom. Its ability is to create Illusions. Be careful.”
Wang Tao warned.
“Illusion?”
Cheng Yiyi and the others were curious.
Psychic System Monsters were rare to begin with, and they had never encountered any capable of creating Illusions.
They were all military personnel, priding themselves on their strong wills, and as for Illusions, they believed they should be able to break through.
Wang Tao didn’t elaborate further, as Illusions weren’t easy to explain. The exact nature of the effect could only be known after being affected.
However... Wang Tao didn’t plan on experiencing this Illusion himself!
A small flame appeared in the palm of his hand, growing larger and larger until it became a huge Fireball.
The blazing Fireball illuminated the shocked faces of the others. Except for Cheng Yiyi, the rest didn’t know Wang Tao was a Fire Awakened, and this was their first time seeing it...
Aiming at the Red Mushroom, Wang Tao threw the Fireball directly.
He chose to use a Fireball because, besides dealing damage, it would illuminate the space here, allowing his teammates to attack with confidence.
Boom—
The Fireball hit the Red Mushroom, causing a violent explosion. The entire underground space was lit up, and even the dark fog was burned away.
