Chapter 1191 -488: Exploding Mushroom_2
However, sleeping endlessly was not a solution. Wang Tao was still waiting to explore this place. Leaving them here would definitely be inappropriate...
After thinking it over, he simply mustered more spiritual power and charged into their minds.
The formidable spiritual power could cause dizziness, but it could also stimulate waking up, depending on whether he could grasp the right degree.
If he did not handle it well... either the others would become idiots or he himself would become an idiot. Of course, given the strength of Wang Tao’s spiritual power, it would definitely be them who would turn into idiots.
However, Wang Tao was still confident in his control over his spiritual power. He managed his spiritual power as it entered Cheng Yiyi’s mind, and just lightly stimulated it, causing Cheng Yiyi to suddenly wake up in terror.
After she awoke, Cheng Yiyi instinctively wanted to grab the Gatling gun, but clad in powered armor, she was immediately pinned down by Wang Tao.
Cheng Yiyi instantly felt as if a mountain was pressing on her, her complexion turning somewhat desperate. However, when she saw through the dim light that the person pinning her down was Wang Tao, she was momentarily taken aback.
Wang Tao pressed down on Cheng Yiyi with one hand while gently patting her cheek with the other.
Feeling the warm touch on her face, Cheng Yiyi finally came back to her senses and hurriedly nodded.

Cheng Yiyi sat up with Wang Tao’s assistance, confusion in her eyes.
“Don’t worry, they’re all fine. They’ll wake up soon. You all passed out earlier... You should start by telling me what happened then? It was when we saw that big red mushroom.”
Wang Tao directly asked.
He was actually curious and wanted to know what Cheng Yiyi had seen in the Illusion.
Cheng Yiyi, relieved to hear the others were unharmed, then furrowed her brows as she recalled.
“At that time, your fireball illuminated the entire space, and I saw the distant red mushroom, then I started attacking. The defense of that red mushroom seemed very tough; my bullets hardly had any effect... Suddenly, a vine-like tendril, as horrifying as a snake, came near me. I didn’t even notice how it approached! At that moment, I realized I was left all alone; you all had disappeared somewhere... I had no choice but to switch targets, to prevent being ambushed by the tendril. Afterwards, I’m not sure if my machine gun killed the tendril or if it just ran away, but it disappeared into the darkness. I attacked the red mushroom again... I don’t know how long I attacked, but suddenly, my head hurt... and when I woke up again, I saw you pinning me down...”
Wang Tao listened to Cheng Yiyi’s words, slightly raising his eyebrows.
Clearly, the “tendril monster” Cheng Yiyi mentioned... was him.
Most of what Cheng Yiyi experienced was the same as Wang Tao, but there were also some differences.
The difference was, Cheng Yiyi saw him as a monster, Lin Kaiyang saw him as a monster too, but Wang Tao saw Cheng Yiyi and the others as normal...
This meant that Wang Tao was not completely trapped by the Illusion, at least not to the extent of being self-destructive...
Cheng Yiyi and the others were only Level 4, and were not Psychic Awakeners, so it was normal for them to be unable to fully distinguish a Level 5, Lord red mushroom Illusion.
“So, what happened in the end? Where is that red mushroom...”
Cheng Yiyi rubbed her temples, then looked towards Wang Tao.
She felt a severe headache, as if she had been hit with a blunt object, though there was clearly no wound on her forehead...
“Actually, at that time, we all fell into the Illusion of the red mushroom. You thought you were attacking the red mushroom, but you were actually hitting the rocks, and the so-called tendril monster you saw was actually me...”
Wang Tao explained directly.
Some details were omitted, such as how he found the true body of the red mushroom and turned the place into a ruin, among other things.
These things were complicated to explain; he just mentioned that perhaps because his spiritual power was a bit higher than average, he wasn’t completely influenced by the Illusion...
“Ah? The monster I was attacking was you?! Then, are you okay?”
Cheng Yiyi was shocked by the revelation. She hadn’t expected to fall for the red mushroom the moment she saw it! And she had never thought she would actually attack Wang Tao, which embarrassed and made her feel guilty. She hadn’t imagined she would become the one holding others back one day...
“I’m fine, your few moves didn’t hurt me.”
Wang Tao confidently said.
...
Ads by PubFutureCheng Yiyi was even more embarrassed, and she quickly changed the subject.
“Where’s the enemy?”
“Dead.”
Wang Tao directly took out the Level 5 Crystal Core, Physical Key, and Reality Illusion Pearl, showing them to Cheng Yiyi.
“Dead!”
She and her teammates were stunned, with no one else around, that Red Mushroom was clearly killed by Wang Tao. While surprised, Cheng Yiyi also felt a pang of envy—Wang Tao truly was incredible! Even faced with such bizarre abilities, he still managed to kill the enemy!
Facing the spoils of war, she shook her head.
“We didn’t help at all, even made things worse... You killed it yourself, the spoils naturally belong to you, we don’t have the right to share.”
Cheng Yiyi knew these were valuable items, but she couldn’t bring herself to take them.
Wang Tao had initially thought to give her a physical awakening key, especially since if she hadn’t invited him, he wouldn’t have had the chance to kill the Red Mushroom.
However, seeing that Cheng Yiyi really didn’t want it, Wang Tao didn’t insist and just put them away. He needed many Awakening Keys for his fourth Awakening.
After conversing with Cheng Yiyi, and seeing that the others were still unconscious, Wang Tao used his spiritual power to awaken them one by one.
Their reaction was similar to Cheng Yiyi’s, they opened their eyes ready to attack, luckily Wang Tao had already taken their weapons.
The team members groggily got up, and after listening to Cheng Yiyi’s explanation, they finally understood what had happened, feeling a wave of fright.
Such illusions were unpredictable, luckily Wang Tao wasn’t affected, otherwise they might have all been wiped out, even turning on each other... Just the thought was terrifying!
“What should we do next?”
Wang Tao looked at them.
Cheng Yiyi and the others had woken up but were in poor shape and still critically low on HP... This had nothing to do with the Red Mushroom, it was all caused by Wang Tao’s mental attack. Even though Wang Tao had held back, it still nearly cost them their lives.
In such a state, they clearly weren’t fit to continue exploring.
“I don’t feel very good...”
Deputy Legion Commander Pei Hai shook his head bitterly, he had been operating separately from Cheng Yiyi, so he hadn’t fought the Level 5 Lord. Now that he had regrouped with Cheng Yiyi, this battle had drained all his combat strength... It felt somewhat like a failure.
The others felt similarly, their faces filled with embarrassment. Another Deputy Legion Commander Lin Kaiyang moved his lips, clearly wanting to continue exploring, but ultimately he just sighed.
“Let’s go back.”
Cheng Yiyi was also reluctant, but there was nothing she could do.
“I’m not going back yet, I’ll continue to look around.”
At that moment, Wang Tao spoke up.
Cheng Yiyi wasn’t surprised that Wang Tao wanted to continue exploring, after all, he was much stronger than them. She got up and started walking back.
“Okay, just be careful!”
“Yeah.”
As she was leaving, Cheng Yiyi hesitated, but still asked:
“Wang Tao, you... you wouldn’t happen to be Level 5 already, would you?”
“You guessed it.”
Wang Tao nodded with a smile.
...
Everyone’s eyes widened in shock.
The news of Wang Tao reaching Level 5 was even more astonishing than him killing a Level 5 Red Mushroom!
After all, Wang Tao had said that other than creating illusions, the Red Mushroom had no other attacking methods...
