Chapter 16: The Power of Darkness
Bang!
A spotted mushroom that came quickly was turned around and dodged by the island, but the ground was knocked out of a small crater.
"Shhhh If it hits me, it's no joke, the spotted mushrooms in here look much more dangerous than the ones outside. Shimashima, who was able to dodge the blow, looked at the sunken ground, couldn't help but gasp, and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand.
These spotted mushrooms actually show a kind of human bad smile, which is unbelievable, and they jump much faster than the spotted mushrooms outside.
"It looks like you're going to go all out, the power of the dragon soul is open, and the wind is up! Be sure to tackle this bunch of guys in under a minute. His forehead was covered with dense cold sweat, and Shimashima stared intently at this group of spotted mushrooms.
Sou... Sou... Sou...
These spotted mushrooms slammed in, and the speed was so fast that it made a swishing sound, but fortunately, Daodao had already turned on the power of the dragon soul and the wind step, and the speed had also increased from one hundred percent to one hundred and thirty-five percent, and it was more than enough to dodge the attack of this group of spotted mushrooms.
But if you keep dodging attacks and wait for the cooldown time of your Wind Walk to be up, then you will become a live target, which is not what Shimashima wants to see.
"What do you do next? These weren't ordinary spotted mushrooms, but the cynical spotted mushrooms were much stronger than the ones outside, and the previous squads that had just been born killed were just ordinary spotted mushrooms. The breeze gently brushed Shuga's blown-up cheeks, and she brushed the green silk scattered by the wind on her head with a white softness, and looked at Shimajima, surrounded by cynical spotted mushrooms, with a pair of large, hollow eyes, and she wondered what he would do in such a situation.
The attack of this group of spotted mushrooms became faster and faster, and it was not limited to hitting him one by one, but several or even a dozen at the same time from different directions.
And Shimashima is completely tired of coping now, and he has already put a lot of color on his body, but half of the duration of the Wind Walk has passed, and there is not much time left.
When the time for the use of the Wind Walk was up, then he would have no means to deal with this group of spotted mushrooms, gritted his teeth and said, "No matter, it's better to fight than to hide." ”
It doesn't matter that he took out a razor from the equipment column of his backpack, yes, it is a weapon that has more than thirty pounds, although it will waste a lot of physical strength, but it is better than being solved by this group of spotted mushrooms.
"Eat me!" Holding the razor with both hands, Shimashima shouted and dodged the attack of a spotted mushroom, and then raised the razor in his hand and slashed at the spotted mushroom.
With this knife, he felt like he had chopped on top of the tofu, and he split the spotted mushroom in half, and a lot of water splashed out.
This is also normal, because the spotted mushroom is a monster that belongs to the plant class, and its body is full of water, so after splitting it in two, what splashes out is not bright red blood, but transparent water.
Shimashima's eyes lit up as he realized that he had killed a spotted mushroom with a razor, and his confidence was greatly increased, and he swam like a loach under the attack of the group of spotted mushrooms for the rest of the day. And from time to time, he used the snail shell throwing technique to stop the spotted mushrooms that wanted to sneak up on him, although he occasionally hung colors, but he couldn't stop his heart from wanting to pass the assessment.
Looking at the little bit of the spotted mushroom Dao Dao said, "Yes, this weapon can definitely work with the power of the dragon soul." ”
It didn't take long for all these spotted mushrooms to be killed by Shimashima, but Shimashima did not rest because he found that these monsters would drop money, which was something he had never encountered outside, so he immediately ran over to pick up the money.
"One has ten yuan, and these dozen have more than 100 yuan, this is the rhythm of getting rich." There were even small stars popping up in Shimashima's eyes, which happened to be worried about money, and he suddenly felt that his future was bright.
But when he was halfway through the trot towards the money, he suddenly cried out in pain.
"Ahh My wrist hurts..."
"Bang dang..."
The razor in Shimashima's hand fell and fell to the ground, and he himself raised his wrist to look at it and found that the wrists of his hands were red and swollen, and a feeling of weakness suddenly came up, and he immediately collapsed to the ground.
It's no wonder that although he has an enhancement skill like the power of the dragon soul, how can his body, which has not undergone any training or even tempering, withstand it, not to mention that he still uses the power of the dragon soul to increase his strength to use the razor that cannot be easily wielded in the first place, and there is a ghost if the wrist is not swollen.
"Phew, hurry up and eat some eel and red potion, it won't be good if the spotted mushrooms here refresh again." Shimashima took out the grilled eel and the red potion from the consumption bar of the backpack with difficulty, and as for the lemon, he didn't need to eat it yet, because he didn't use the snail shell throwing technique when he fought the spotted mushroom, so he didn't need to replenish mana.
Xiujia, who was originally sitting under the tree, came over, and looked at Shimashima, who was lying on the ground but eating grilled eels and drinking red potions in a panic, and said, "Don't be in a hurry to eat slowly, the monster just now won't appear." ”
"Won't it appear? Why didn't it appear? Isn't it going to be refreshed? Shimashima was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xiujia with a puzzled expression, but when he spoke, he still had grilled eel in his mouth and muttered when he spoke.
Xiujia squatted down, stroked his hair, and said, "The monsters just now have been corrupted by the dark power, and after you kill them, they will die completely, and then they will be refreshed from the place where they were originally born, and they will change back to their original appearance instead of what you just saw. ”
"Huh? Dark Erosion? Not the way it was? Ahem, ahem... Can you elaborate on this? Shimashima's face was slightly hot, there is no way that no one can let himself not understand this, in fact, he is not to blame Shimashima, don't say that even if he is a student of the entire Kaede Academy, no one will know.
"Didn't you notice that these spotted mushrooms are different from what you usually come across?"
"That's true, it's really not the same, it's a lot stronger, and it will laugh badly."
"These cynical spotted mushrooms are several levels stronger than the normal spotted mushrooms outside, and it's a miracle that you can defeat them, as for the dark power, it's because of this thing." Shuga reached out and picked up a small black gravel from the ground, but it didn't look like a normal pebble.
However, Xiujia was stunned, because the problem of Daodao suddenly bombarded like a cannon, and she was stunned.
"Grade? Do monsters also have levels? How are the grades divided? So do we adventurers have a hierarchy? What is the highest level and how many levels am I now? ”
"Also, Shuga, what do you have in your hands? What does this ordinary pebble have to do with the dark forces? Dao Dao's eyes widened and stared straight at Xiujia, if someone who didn't know saw it, he might say that he was staring at the other girl's paper.
Xiu Jia's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, but his appearance was cute, and then he said: "There is an ordinary spotted mushroom level, which is LV8 level, then the cynical spotted mushroom level is LV12, which is four levels worse, and the attack power, speed, and defense are not at all a grade that can be compared, of course, adventurers also have levels, but you are not an adventurer yet, just a rookie, don't put a high hat on yourself." Shuga retorted without hesitation, and rolled his eyes.
"Little... Small... Small bean sprouts? Shimashima's mouth opened wide, and Xiujia seemed to have changed the feeling he made, when he first met Xiujia, he still thought she was soft and weak, and wasn't she quite timid and shy? Now it feels like a different person entirely. And he still thinks Xiujia is weird, but he can't say what the blame is, but when he was refuted that he was not an adventurer, Daodao scratched his head embarrassedly, after all, he is really not an adventurer now, just like Xiujia said that he is just a rookie who is waiting to pass the assessment.
"The level of the adventurer, when you leave Maple Island and arrive at Treasure Island, you will naturally understand, you can't tell you everything, this is not fair to others, by the way, although you don't look at it small, but his influence is very large, as you just saw, it can evolve the original LV8 level piebald mushroom into LV12 level cynical piebald mushroom."
"Then think about it, if such a small pebble falls into a more powerful monster, what kind of terrible monster will evolve?" Xiujia's expression also became serious, she looked at the black pebble in her hand and thought to herself: Has the erosion of darkness begun to spread to the entire adventure world? I don't know how long the Temple of Time can last, and can you keep up with the speed of your growth?
“...... Then let's quickly destroy this little pebble, why are we waiting for Xiujia to put it down quickly and let me break it. Shimashima looked at this pebble with trepidation, and couldn't imagine that this inconspicuous pebble could be so terrifying, could this be the dark power that Scularino said? It's so scary, but why is there such a thing here? Shimashima couldn't think of a reason even if he broke his head.
“???? What the??? What are you talking about?? Xiujia looked at Dao Dao with a blank face and even some timidity.
