Crimson Servant

The red lotus bloomed, and the corrupted myconid burned like dry firewood the moment it came into contact with the dragon's breath. The tongues of fire ran upwards, turning the myconid into torches. The flames surged, and the dust-like spore clouds were detonated by the flames, causing a chain reaction. The explosion's splash spells doom for other Corruption Myconids.

The effect of dragon's breath is even better than John imagined.

After the myconids were corrupted, they became the guardians of the island's forbidden areas. They only wandered within a fixed range. After observing the first corrupted myconids, John determined that it was not like normal myconids that would hide in a cool and humid place to stay hydrated. It's true that it's easier to spot intruders if you stay high up with a clear view, but ventilation from all sides also means moisture can escape more easily.

The mushroom man's need for moisture is the most critical. Their body structure does not have a cuticle that resists sunlight, and the cuticle also plays a role in locking in moisture. Myconids lose water very easily, which is why they only move around near their habitat. They are really prone to death from dehydration.

The dull color of the body surface and the dust spores that looked like yellow sand indicated that the corrupted mushrooms were dehydrated. In fact, John was surprised that the dehydrated mushrooms could still remain active without disintegrating. No matter what the evil energy supporting them was, But the dry appearance means it is suitable for use with fire.

Breathing the dragon's breath, the Corrupted Myconids fell into chaos. John added another fireball. Lilian wandered outside the battle field and dealt with the Corrupted Myconids who escaped from the fire.

Because the controller was injured, the zombie army was in chaos, and the battle pressure on Raven and Arlington was reduced a lot.

"Everything seems to be going well." Barnes chuckled, sneaking around the sight of the zombie army and corrupted myconids. His original task was to help Raven withstand the offensive pressure, but now that the situation was good and Raven still had room to parry, Barnes decided to use his talents in the right place.

The captain is off to find the treasure.

Barnes quietly approached the direction where the Corruption Fungi appeared. He used the shadow of the rock to sneak behind the last Corruption Fungus. Looking at the poor guy running around with half his body on fire, Barnes resisted the urge to take off his hat and mourn for him.

John Kemp's brutal killing methods have increased.

No hidden enemies were found around. Barnes stepped carefully on the dry land, avoiding the lichen and moss layers. The brief contact with the myconid camp had already made Barnes think of ways to reduce the risk of being discovered by the myconid.

He quickened his pace, and where the sound of fighting was almost disappearing, Barnes discovered the ruins of a temple.

Broken rock pillars, sculptures of various races with broken heads, and exhausted fountain pools were filled with mycelium, but the longest ones stopped moving just after climbing over the edge of the pool.

Behind the pool, it is in the central position surrounded by many stone pillars.

A dark disk of stone caught Barnes' attention.

The stone slabs are embedded in the floor tiles, and the black surface is carved with reliefs. After time has washed away, the relief paintings in the wavy patterns have become blurred, leaving only a rough outline.

There is a hemispherical groove in the center of the disk, and a cursed energy that sends chills down Barnes' spine is entrenched in the groove. Barnes, who often deals with the devil, is not afraid of these mysterious powers. He knows that there is a root cause for any curse. When Barnes tried to get closer to the stone slab to find out the source of the power.

There was movement in the fountain pool behind him.

A series of violent vibrations appeared at the feet of Barnes, almost shaking the middle-aged man. Even the most rocking ship in the violent storm that Barnes encountered could not reach this shaking feeling. He heard the sound rushing inside the fountain pipe, and heard the sound coming from far to near. The stone base bulged out under pressure, and fine cracks appeared under the load.

There was no water gushing out of the fountain pool. If it had been water, Barnes would have been a lot happier, instead of looking like he was seeing a disaster coming.

The dark yellow monster, which looked like accumulated oil, squeezed itself out of the underground pipe of the dry fountain. The slimy body began to expand the moment it appeared in the air, transforming from a long bar into a tall man with a body larger than a frost giant. monster.

The mushroom giant will only appear in the nutrient-rich mushroom forest. It is a large monster formed by the fusion of huge amounts of spores and plants. But the one in front of me obviously didn't grow to such a big size naturally.

Barnes saw the faces of many myconids from the bodies of the corrupted giants. Their bodies were stretched into long strips, twisted and intertwined, forming part of the fibers of the myconid giants.

Now Barnes understood that the reason why the Corruption Mycoid outside was short of water was not only due to the external environment, but also because the big guy in front of him occupied the scarce water. The corrupted mushroom giants are the key guardians placed here by the evil forces on the slab, and are the ultimate enemy that must be faced if you want to enter the forbidden land.

Barnes has no guts to fight the Corrupted Giant alone. His small body can be easily crushed by the Fungi Giant's kick.

The captain, who had greased his soles, immediately fled away from the stone slab, while the big guy was taking huge steps to chase after Barnes. The Corrupted Giant's steps were large, but his movements were slow, and in a short period of time he was as fast as Barnes. It chased Barnes out of the abandoned temple. Many of its eyes were firmly locked on the captain, and it felt like it would chase him to the end and never give up.

The Corruption Giant's task is not only to guard the stone slab, but also to clear out every intruder who comes near the stone slab.

John and others who were fighting felt the ground shaking. Barnes ran back from behind the remaining Corruption Myconids, running away desperately while shouting at his companions.

"There's a big one behind me!!"

The commotion caused by Barnes made John and others feel suddenly, and when the corrupted mushroom giant appeared, John realized how much trouble this troublemaker had caused.

Compared with that khaki giant, Hell Guard Arlington is petite and cute.

Fortunately, most of the corrupted myconids were eliminated due to the previous fire attack plan. The number of fungal zombies was reduced a lot because the operator died and the zombies disintegrated into spores and dust. Otherwise, Raven might feel a sense of despair in his heart now.

"Arlington! Stop it!" John yelled, and the Daystar team chose to retreat in unison. Unfortunately, John was the slowest one. But it doesn't matter, he still has the devil.

"Don't be afraid, Arlington, that's just a false giant. Most of this giant's body is just water!" Barnes cheered loudly and ran past the hell guards quickly.

"Ah!!!" Arlington, who was restricted by the contract, burst into flames, spread his wings and flew towards the mushroom giant.

boom!

The Hell Guard received a heavy punch from the Corrupted Giant, and his body was blown away by the heavy punch like a broken kite in the air, flying upside down and surpassing Barnes.

Because the body structure of the mushroom man is soft, there are many pores in the body for water flow. When well hydrated, this soft body can easily transfer water compression to any location, such as your fist.

This means that as long as there is enough water, the myconid can concentrate all the strength of the body in any attack and become a super warrior who can kill with one strike. No other species can match the myconids in terms of strength as long as it is saturated with water.

What Arlington faced just now was a giant mushroom with a terrifying water storage capacity.

This is the mushroom man's unique skill, the water pressure boxing technique, the hundred-ton boxing technique.

Barnes must have known this, but for his own safety, the captain betrayed the devil without hesitation.
