Bai Qiyun followed the traces of the mushroom beast's departure and sneaked into the depths of the forest step by step.

Nina followed him, carefully looking around to avoid any dangerous monsters appearing.

However, her actions were obviously in vain. Everything around her had been exposed to Bai Qiyun's elemental perception, and even the slightest disturbance could not be hidden from his perception.

Compared with those, Ninai's waist and thighs swinging back and forth among the water plants may have made a more harsh sound, which made Bai Qiyun uneasy.

Passing through the barrier surrounded by several large trees, Bai Qiyun saw the lightning attribute mushroom beast that had escaped before.

It was a mushroom-like monster, covered with some weak thunder elemental power, similar to an ordinary slime.

But compared to slimes, which usually do not actively harm people, mushrooms are much more aggressive and lively.

There are many different kinds of mushrooms surrounding it.

Bai Qiyun couldn't name those mushroom beasts because he wasn't familiar with them, but he could call them based on the elemental power on their bodies.

For example, thunder mushrooms, wind mushrooms, water mushrooms...

However, when these mushroom beasts gather together, they can sometimes cause civil strife.

For example, the thunder mushroom beast and water mushroom beast in front of Bai Qiyun now look like companions, but in fact the boundaries are very clear.

As long as each other crosses the boundary between the two sides, the other side will launch a fierce attack.

Crackling electromagnetic reactions will continue to occur in the rain forest, causing the surrounding ground to become scorched black.

"Looks very fierce."

Nina pressed her body behind the bushes and observed the mushroom in front of her.

There were about four thunder mushroom beasts and five water mushroom beasts before the two of them, and the elemental power on their bodies was restless.

If converted into slimes, this amount of slimes can already be called a small disaster, and we must be prepared for it.

"What should we do? Can the two of us come?"

Nina compared the fighting prowess of the two sides, but she felt that she could not cope with so many mushroom beasts.

With her endurance, one versus four was almost the limit. She felt it was unrealistic if Bai Qiyun could handle the remaining five alone.

"Don't worry, there's no need to fight head-on."

Bai Qiyun didn't want to expose his true combat power, so he had to resort to tricks.

It just so happens that he carries with him the alchemy product he made earlier, which can be used here.

"I'll attract a few mushroom beasts over in a moment, you can act accordingly."

After saying that, Bai Qiyun took out two A203s and touched them towards the mushroom, without giving Nina a chance to ask questions.

Play by ear? What does it mean to play by ear?

But soon, Nina had no time to wonder.

Bai Qiyun was seen throwing an A203 towards the place where the mushroom beasts gathered. In an instant, an explosion caused by the fierce collision of flames resounded in the quiet rain forest.

It was like a bolt of thunder striking her ears, causing Nina in the distance to cover her ears tightly.

What on earth does this guy want to do!

The violent explosion blew away several thunder mushroom beasts. When the fierce fire elemental force touched the thunder on the thunder mushroom beast, it once again triggered a series of explosions.

And this is exactly what Bai Qiyun is aiming for.

Using the monster's own attributes to attack monsters is human wisdom.

The effect is also surprisingly good.

In addition to the several thunder mushroom beasts that were the main targets of his attack, several other water mushroom beasts were also blown up. More than half of them rolled their eyes and rolled over on the ground, losing their combat effectiveness.

The other two who were still conscious were also seriously injured. They abandoned their companions without any sense of loyalty and burrowed deeper into the forest.

Seeing this, Bai Qiyun had no intention of pursuing him and rushed towards the mushroom beasts that were burnt black by the blast.

Just kidding, he wished all these mushroom beasts would run away, so there would be no intention of pursuing them.

Rushing to the side of several mushroom beasts that were knocked upside down by the explosion, Bai Qiyun pulled at their remaining corpses twice.

There was an aroma of oil coming out from above, and it was obvious that these mushrooms were dead.

In fact, A203 cannot do this with its original power, but the elemental power in the mushroom beasts has become the main culprit in killing them.

If there were a group of mushroom beasts with other attributes gathered here, I'm afraid he would really have to show some strength to take them down now.

"So is this thing edible?"

Looking at the mushroom carcasses on the ground, Bai Qiyun thought of the roasted mushrooms he had eaten while traveling.

However, due to the risk, it was impossible for him to actually eat monsters.

Who knows what's in the monster's body.

"You just went crazy!"

After the explosion disappeared, Nina ran over with a loud roar.

In her opinion, it was like a large bomb detonating in the woods.

Even if this person is not afraid of causing a wildfire, he still has to consider whether he will be involved.

For the first time, Nina thought about whether he should stay away from the person in front of him, so that he could at least live longer.

Bai Qiyun didn't take the girl's complaints to heart, but took a dead branch and started poking the mushroom corpse's butt.

If mushrooms had butts.

With a pop, the wooden stick penetrated from the bottom of the mushroom beast to the top.

When Nina saw this, she felt a chill spread from her tailbone to her neck.

Could this person be a pervert?

"Hey, what are you doing with these mushrooms?"

Nina's voice was a little more hesitant and hesitant. It was obvious that she had begun to feel that Bai Qiyun was mentally abnormal.

"It's just research. Doesn't the mission say that the mushroom beasts are rioting? If we don't understand the reason for their riot, don't even think about ending this mission."

As he spoke, Bai Qiyun tore up the corpse of the mushroom beast.

With a strong movement of his hand, the mushroom beast was torn in half in an instant.

The tragic scene shocked Nina.

Fortunately, the bloody scene as imagined did not appear, and the inside of the mushroom was like a mushroom, covered with all kinds of mycelium.

Peeling it open at this time makes it look a bit like handling large mushrooms.

If it weren't for the lack of tools at hand, Bai Qiyun would really like to try what it would be like to use a kitchen knife to deal with these monsters.

If Xiang Ling were here, he would probably have started thinking about dishes like stir-fried chicken legs with shredded mushrooms, which can be called a model of dark cuisine.

"But it doesn't seem like the problem is with the mushroom itself."

After tearing the mushroom beast into pieces, Bai Qiyun did not find anything strange inside the mushroom beast's body.

Moreover, combined with the previous performance of the mushroom beasts, there was no abnormal behavior such as elemental power going berserk.

In other words, if the mushroom riot mentioned in the mission is true, then the cause of this incident should not be the mushroom beast itself, but some change in the external environment that prompted the mushroom beast to riot.

external environment...

Bai Qiyun immediately thought of earth veins.

For monsters, earth veins always have the greatest influence.

However, because of the influence of the World Tree in Sumeru, there are one more factor that affects ordinary monsters.

For example, in Huacheng Guo, Bai Qiyun had heard about the existence of the "Death Zone" from others.

It is a strange phenomenon that is deprived of life in the Sumeru rainforest.

It is said that it is related to the mutation of the World Tree.

It was just that he didn't continue to ask Tinari about this matter later, because judging from the other party's actions, he had no way to solve the matter itself and could only postpone it.

But it is said that in the Dead Realm, all monsters will become more violent.

It is similar to the riot mentioned in this mission.

"Could it be that a very large dead zone covers the entire surrounding area of ​​Xumi City?"

Bai Qiyun said to himself, but then he threw the thought out of his mind.

This speculation is too crazy. If it is true, it will be a disaster of the level of annihilation for the entire Xumi.

That's not a small problem that can be solved by sending out some guards.

"What are you mumbling about again?"

"Nothing, just thinking about the next move."

Bai Qiyun stood up and looked in the direction where the water mushroom beasts had just escaped. There was only boundless darkness.
To be continued...
