"Yes, it's super powerful … If I remember correctly, Mad River Ice died after he used this skill," Feng Bujue replied with narrowed eyes.
"Stop wasting time!" Atobe grumbled with annoyance. "This is a one-time consumable skill that can only be used by Fighting Skill B and Sorcery C. Normally, it should be at least a level A skill."
"Fine, fine … After we encounter the Silkworm Queen, we will use this skill as the core of our attack," Feng Bujue said.
"Okay, leave the distraction to us." Hong Hu nodded. "We will try our best to create space and time for you to attack."
"Actually, you don't need to do anything. With the Silkworm Queen's size, hitting her shouldn't be a problem, and there is no chance of a consumable skill failing," Atobe said. "As long as I can confirm that there is no net between me and her, I can …"
As he spoke, he swept away a net in front of him. To his surprise, a shadow jumped out from behind the net.
"Be careful!" The moment the Heavenly Steed warned, he had already raised his hand and struck out. This attack was not a Meteor Punch, but an ordinary fist attack. However, Brony still relied on his domineering strength to blast out an invisible force.
The shadow that suddenly jumped out was stopped by the shockwave, and its movement slowed down. Making use of this gap, Atobe took half a step back and waved his fan, successfully forcing the shadow back.
At that moment, the crowd finally saw what was coming at them.
It was a mushroom …
To be precise, it was a 'mushroom man'.
If the image that appeared in your mind then was the mushroom from the Mario game, then you would be sorely mistaken … The thing before the players looked more like the God of Haiku. (In Comic Nikwa, Matsuo Basho, who ate the poisonous mushroom, saw a mysterious creature.)
It was about 1.6 meters tall, and it was basically humanoid. There was a large yellow mushroom hat growing on its head, and its body was light yellow in color and had four limbs. However, there were no details on its body, like the outline of its muscles, fingers, toes, skin, and hair … there was none. In fact, it didn't even have a neck. Its head, torso, and crotch were all connected together.
In short … the appearance of this "illusory beast" gave people the feeling that it was an extremely simple graffiti character. The lines of its face were also very casual … With just a few strokes, it formed a wretched and dull face.
"The God of Haiku!" Feng Bujue's eyes widened as he looked at the mushroom man.
"F * ck!" After the mushroomman opened its mouth … it let out such a cry. At the same time, it used its bucket-like body to make a gesture of preparing for a fight, while it continued to clamor. "Scrape — Scrape —"
"Compared to this guy … the howling goat from before seems so ordinary …" As Hong Hu spoke, he held the infrared light and retreated to the back of his teammates. Clearly, he did not intend to participate in the battle before him.
Anyone in the party could solo a monster like this. Naturally, Hong Hu prioritized maintaining the infrared light to prevent anyone from accidentally running into the net.
"Hahaha …" Feng Bujue soon walked to the front of the group uninvited. He laughed. "Perfect timing! I was just thinking of eating something vegetarian! "
"Hey, hey … Are you going to eat whatever you see?" Atobe felt disgusted looking at the mushroom man, so he tried to stop him. "We already have a reserve of food, so what's the point of eating vegetarian food?" At this point, he seemed to be reminded of something. His eyes shifted, and he turned to look at Brother Jue. "Hmm … There seems to be a problem with the way you eat … Actually, you're just eating because you want to eat, right? It has nothing to do with survival or clearing the scenario! "
"Scrape — Scrape —" The mushroomman did not care about what they were saying. It roared twice before leaping forward and launching a side kick at Brother Jue's face.
"Humph … This kind of skill is useless against me!" Feng Bujue crossed his arms before his body to face the attack head-on.
With a thud, their arms and legs collided, and they both staggered back about ten feet.
"F * ck!" This time, it was Feng Bujue who cursed.
He was not surprised by the power of the opponent's attack, but he was surprised that … he had been poisoned.
"What the hell … I was kicked through my sleeve, but there's an additional poison effect?" Feng Bujue mumbled to himself.
Brother Jue's original plan was to let the opponent hit him a few times and use the effect of the Furnace of Hatred to gain more Stamina Points. But … it had backfired on him.
"I really can't let my guard down," Feng Bujue grumbled. He prepared to use Rankyaku to finish off this guy.
But just as he was about to launch the kick, he suddenly had an idea and changed his mind.
In the next second, he made a feint and made use of his speed advantage to appear behind the monster. Then, he took out something from his pocket and threw it out.
I'm sure everyone has guessed it … That's right, the thing he threw out was the Old Pokeball that had never been used before.
The mushroomman did not expect Brother Jue's action. Plus, the space was narrow, so it could not leave the Pokeball's effective range. So … it was hit.
When the Pokeball approached its target, it opened automatically and shot out a ray of white light. After the mushroomman was hit, its entire body was first turned into light, then rapidly shrunk until it was sucked into the Pokeball.
Thud!
Two seconds later, the Pokeball fell on the crystalline crust, and then … it started to sway left and right.
For some reason, in these few seconds, the four of them were all nervous. They stood still and did not move an inch.
Once, twice … thrice …
Driven by an inexplicable instinct, everyone held their breaths and stared at the pokeball. When it stopped shaking after shaking three times, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
[Ding Ding Ding Deng Deng Deng ~] At this moment, the system also gave him a rather strange sound effect that made him feel like he had heard it before.
Feng Bujue took a step forward, picked up the Pokeball, and grinned. "Ha! I've finally tamed the God of Haiku! "
"What is with this strange sense of dissonance …" Imaginative Horse mumbled.
"It feels like we've transmigrated into some other game," Hong Hu said.
Atobe's sarcasm was sharp. "Will there be a quest that requires you to collect badges from the various dojos on Devil's Island?"
"Stop joking around. Who has the antidote? Give me one." Feng Bujue quickly brought up the topic at hand. Even though the effect of the poison was weak, he could not just ignore it. In these few seconds, he had gained quite a lot of Stamina Points from the damage.
…
Five minutes later, on the leaf.
"Hmm? They're really here? " The Silkworm Mother, who was taking a nap on the leaf, suddenly arched her body and said, "Hmm … I think I've found a way to inspect the net …"
The Silkworm Mother did not have real 'sight'; her senses were different from the five senses of a human. Therefore, she did not know about infrared lights, but she could sense the players' approach through the slight vibrations of the net.
"Interesting … My preparation was not wasted." The Silkworm Mother smiled.
Just as she was talking to herself, a circle of red light came from the crystal path and reached the edge of the leaf.
Suddenly, there was a whirring sound, and a gust of wind blew.
A large fan cut open a piece of the net that was laid flat in the air, and four figures leaped out from the gap.
In the blink of an eye, the four players had stepped onto the leaf and formed a formation, waiting for the enemy to strike.
"You're here to save your friend?" the voice inside the Silkworm Mother's stomach said in a mocking tone. "I'm so touched."
Feng Bujue ignored the man's words and focused on observing the environment on the leaf. After confirming the location of the boss and the terrain, he shared a look with his teammates and said, "Alright … Let's move according to the plan."
Hong Hu, Atobe, and Unbound answered in unison and split up with Brother Jue.
"Ha … What are you guys doing? Do you want to fight me? "The Silkworm Mother's condescension was obvious." And I thought you guys would be smarter … "
Before she finished, the Silkworm Mother's body was attacked by multiple light arrows and punches. Atobe's large fan also sent out wind to attack the Silkworm Mother's tail.
But the Silkworm Mother was still unfazed. "For example … you can split into two groups. One group will be responsible for holding me back while the other group will save your friend and then split up to escape …"
"How do you know … that's not our plan?" Feng Bujue's voice suddenly came from the air.
In those few seconds, Brother Jue used Geppo and approached the top of the few large crystal pillars.
"Humph … Not bad." The Silkworm Mother scoffed, and then her silkworm body shuddered.
All of a sudden, all of the silk threads appeared once again, forming a pinkish-white sea on the bright green leaves.
At the same time, the few large chrysalis hanging in the air suddenly moved … Other than the human-shaped chrysalis that trapped Uncle Worthless, the other six chrysalis exploded from within.
Six large creatures with strange faces jumped down from the sky to block Feng Bujue's path.
"Looks like you've been prepared for this …" Brother Jue looked at the large creatures that were closing in on them. "But … so have I."
A crazed murderous intent flashed across his calm eyes.
The explosion of light brought out a purple-gold war shadow.
Feng Bujue faced upward and activated Summon — Ma Sun, and a large general's soul appeared behind him.
"Ma Sun!" Brother Jue yelled.
"Yes!" Ma Sun answered.
Feng Bujue took out the military shovel from his inventory and held it before his chest like a large blade. He waved it at the air above him. "Zhonghua Slash Dance!"
Ma Sun understood what he meant. Spiritual light gathered in his hand, and a real Guan Dao materialized.
Instantly, golden light shone, and the shadow of the blade filled the air.
The six shadows that descended from the sky were caught off guard. They were slashed all over the place, and some were even torn into pieces …
"Oh? You have such power … "The Silkworm Mother said, but the latter half of her sentence turned into a crazed roar." Very good … You can't wait to taste your 'panic after going insane'! "
Before she finished, the Silkworm Mother hissed again.
"Zha!"
This was the first time she had used a direct and real attack on the players. The 'chirps' from the last meeting were merely a greeting, but this was the real deal.
"What the f * ck!" Atobe was shocked when he was hit, and he cursed under his breath. He was quite far away from the Silkworm Mother, but he still staggered and almost fell.
On the other hand, Xiao Ma was not so lucky. He was closest to the boss, so he was hit the hardest. When the whistle started, he instinctively took several steps back and collapsed to the ground. A cold feeling quickly filled his nose and lips. He reached out to touch it, and blood flowed out of his nose like a broken dam.
"Tsk … Did it affect his brain?" Hong Hu, who was not far away, also squatted down. Even though he could still stand, for safety's sake, he squatted down. He was mainly worried that … if he stumbled and fell off the leaf and into the net, it would be even more troublesome.
"Plan B!" Suddenly, Brother Jue, who was in midair, yelled as he flipped his body to land.
"Oh? There are two plans? " The Silkworm Mother smirked. "Let me guess … Plan B is to give up on splitting up to save people and focus on attacking me?"
"Such an infuriating, highly intelligent bug …" Feng Bujue took out two more grenades from his pocket and tossed them down with his teeth. "Pfft … Wait for me to deal with you … Dry pan, deep fry, stir fry … Do as you see fit!"
One second later, with two loud bangs, the two grenades exploded on the Silkworm Mother's back. Brother Jue used Void Walk to stop in midair and did not enter the explosion range.
"What is that? A toy made from gunpowder and metal? " In the dissipating dust, the Silkworm Mother's large body was revealed. "Haha … speaking of toys … Haven't you forgotten something?"
In that moment, Feng Bujue's pupils narrowed as he realized a serious problem.
Chi chi chi!
There was a flash of light, and the blood mist dissipated.
Brother Jue's back was attacked continuously. Even the Ma Sun made from Spiritual Droplets was shattered by the attack.
He turned back to look and saw … the monsters that were disfigured by the Zhonghua Slash Dance were still moving. Even though their bodies had been disintegrated, they were still attacking mechanically.
"Surprised, right? As long as there is a part of the nerves that hasn't been completely destroyed, even if there is only an arm or a finger left, I can still make it move. " The Silkworm Mother turned to Feng Bujue with pride. "Haha … I can see that as well. You're the strongest of the four of you, right? Their attacks are like scratching an itch. As for you … I can still look forward to it. " As she spoke, she controlled the body parts in the air to surround Brother Jue. "Come on, use your ultimate or something to make me happy, or else …"
"Stop looking down on me, you stupid insect!" Atobe yelled from afar to interrupt the Silkworm Mother and successfully attracted her attention.
"What did you just call me?" The Silkworm Mother seemed to be very dissatisfied with the term 'stupid insect'. She gave up on attacking Brother Jue and used impossibly high speed to twist her body around to face Atobe. "I dare you to say that again … human."
"I can say it as many times as I want …" Atobe gasped for air. Under the immense pressure and fear, he tried his best to steady himself. Glaring at the boss before him, he said, "You are so disgusting … Just looking at you makes me want to vomit!"
The more he spoke, the louder his voice became. The last few words were practically screamed from his throat.
Atobe was not some top player, at least not yet; he was not Feng Bujue; he was not a drug addict like Zombie Blade. Atobe was just a normal person … When facing a boss, he would feel fear.
That was human nature. When facing those scary monsters, demons, ghosts, and monsters, as long as one was a normal person, they would feel fear. They would feel that way even before a computer screen, much less in virtual reality.
At that moment, facing a murderous silkworm that was fatter than a train, it was already good enough that Atobe was not shaking because his brain kept reminding him that this was just a game.
However, after roaring out those two sentences, he suddenly felt a little better ….
Fear, pressure, and the fear of his friends being killed seemed to have been washed away by that roar.
Perhaps … when he faced the thing that he was afraid of, he realized that it was nothing more than that …
"Damn scum …" The Silkworm Mother was angered. She raised her large head and slammed it down, aiming to crush Atobe into meat paste.
"Tsk … You're not that fast." Atobe took a step back and barely dodged the attack. At the same time, he mocked the boss before him.
"Ah!" The Silkworm Mother was completely angered. She wiggled her body and charged forward. Her circular mouth opened to reveal rows of sharp teeth like she was going to swallow Atobe whole.
Hu hu hu!
Three powerful blades of light came from behind and landed on the Silkworm Mother's back.
"Do you think I'm dead?" Brother Jue's voice rang out again. Naturally, he was not dead, but he was heavily injured. However, after he used Geppo to escape from the encirclement, he attacked the boss immediately.
Unfortunately, the Silkworm Mother ignored the three Rankyaku attacks, and her speed did not slow down at all.
Thankfully …
"Sigh … It's because you guys are so reckless that the plan can't keep up with the changes …" Hong Hu raised one of his arms, and a silver cross appeared in his hand. "Sorcery Circle!"
