I told you to plant peas, and you summon Mordekaiser?

Chen Yang's pupils contracted slightly, and he unconsciously slowed his pace.

The little purple mushroom on the ground was none other than the familiar little mushroom he knew!

This little mushroom is a free plant with a short attack range and low damage.

It is one of the most basic types of mushrooms.

Its appearance in this deep mine surprised Chen Yang.

This was the first time he had ever seen wild mushrooms.

As he slowly approached, the light from the oil lamp spread forward.

Chen Yang kept his eyes fixed on the little mushroom's movements.

Just as he stepped into the three-meter range, the little mushroom seemed to trigger some kind of mechanism, trembled a few times, and suddenly sprayed out a purple spore mist!

The mist spread rapidly, hitting Chen Yang's face directly.

With a "pia chirp".

Chen Yang was unable to dodge in time and took the full force of the attack.

Health Points -1

Well...

I don't feel anything...

This damage is negligible compared to Chen Yang's current health.

"piaji"

"piaji"

The little mushroom kept exhaling spore mist at Chen Yang, covering his face with it.

"This little thing is quite stubborn."

Chen Yang's heart stirred, and he suddenly had an idea.

A golden shovel materialized in his hand.

Those were props left behind by the two Wang brothers, which Chen Yang had been keeping in a corner.

[Golden Spatula]

Description: This shovel is imbued with the power of money, transcending the limitations of an ordinary shovel. Any plant you shovel up, regardless of its location, will become a plant card for your use!

It hadn't had a chance to appear during this period, but now that it could summon items, Chen Yang finally seized the opportunity to use it.

Chen Yang raised the golden shovel in his hand, aimed it at the bottom of the small mushroom, and thrust it in forcefully.

There was a muffled "bang".

The shovel tip bounced off the hard stone ground, making Chen Yang's palm go numb.

NND.

How am I supposed to shovel this?

These mushrooms don't grow in the soil either...

[How to use the golden shovel: No need to completely remove it; simply draw circles around the base of the plant to remove it successfully.]

The system unusually provided a helpful tip.

It turned out to be the case.

Chen Yang understood.

Chen Yang gripped the golden shovel tightly and slowly drew a circle on the ground around the small mushroom.

Golden light spread across the ground following the trajectory of the shovel tip.

The moment the circle was complete, a flash of golden light appeared, and the little mushroom's figure suddenly twisted, as if it had been sucked into an invisible space.

The next moment, it transformed into a card radiating a soft light, lying quietly on the ground.

Chen Yang bent down and picked up the card.

Ding!

Exploration points +1000

Chen Yang was startled.

so much?

It takes me about ten minutes to walk that distance!

So, does that mean I can rack up points by shoveling small mushrooms?

There must be more than one mushroom around here.

Suppressing his excitement, Chen Yang explored deeper into the area.

Sure enough, small mushrooms of all kinds were growing everywhere.

Small mushroom.

Sun mushroom

Timid mushroom.

Sailor mushrooms also grow in the underground pond.

Exploration points +1000

Exploration points +1000

Exploration points +1000

One mushroom adds 1000!

Collect! Awesome!

Chen Yang watched as his exploration score in the upper right corner continued to soar, indicating that he simply couldn't stop.

He had long forgotten how far he had gone.

It doesn't matter.

Anyway, there's no punishment for dying.

I still have one more chance to become immune to death.

Just do it and that's it.

Chen Yang's worn-out leather jacket had every pocket stuffed full.

Countless mushrooms were transformed into cards under Chen Yang's clutches.

When I came to my senses, the scenery around me had changed.

There was no light in the cave, and black particles floated in the air.

The only light source was the oil lamp in Chen Yang's hand.

"It's so deep..."

"I didn't find anything except a bunch of mushrooms..."

"It seems like this hole is pretty safe. I can stay here until the end of the competition."

Chen Yang muttered to himself.

Having reached this point, Chen Yang could hardly find any wild mushrooms anymore.

Suddenly finding himself with nothing to do, Chen Yang felt inexplicably anxious, so he chose to distract himself by talking to himself.

"All the light is gone, thankfully this oil lamp had plenty of oil... wait a minute."

"It seems there's not much oil left."

"It's been a long time since I've encountered a Sun-shroom. Do mushrooms not want to come to places that are too deep?"

"Let's walk a little further and then turn back..."

"Ugh, every single mushroom sprayed me with spores, and I'm covered in sticky spores."

"Hey, there's light over there..."

He suddenly noticed a faint light ahead, flickering erratically.

But he could not make out the details because of the distance.

The only certainty is that the source of the light is deeper inside the cave.

Suddenly, a gust of hot wind blew in from the depths of the cave.

Ok?

How can there be wind in a closed cave?

Chen Yang felt this defied common sense.

The oil lamp went out abruptly under the onslaught of the cold wind, and the faint light in my hand vanished in an instant, plunging the cave into darkness once more.

Well...

I didn't bring a flint!

Chen Yang was annoyed; why hadn't he brought a flint with him?

My eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness.

Chen Yang could see the light in the distance.

That was no ordinary light source.

Instead, there were two faint red lights.

Like the watchful eyes of a ferocious beast, it hovered silently in front of us, exuding a cold and chilling aura.

Holy crap, what the hell is that?

Chen Yang was startled.

He suddenly reacted.

That warm breeze that just hit us wasn't naturally generated.

It sounded like the breath of some kind of creature!

It turns out there's a big boss hiding here!

The red light exuded an ominous aura, devoid of warmth, as if it pierced directly through the darkness and stared intently at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang glanced slightly to the upper right.

The remaining teams survived:

Current team surviving members: 8

Exploration points:

There are 23 teams left. The game will end once another 18 teams are eliminated.

Chen Yang's team still has eight members alive.

Come on!

My good teammate!

I think this is the best I can do!

Chen Yang silently cheered on the other seven people in his heart.

Outside the cave are giant gourds, inside lies unknown danger.

Moreover, he had a premonition that he would not be able to escape the lock-on of the unknown creature in front of him.

Those two chilling red lights locked onto Chen Yang, constantly releasing a chilling killing intent.

Grass!

I give you face!

Chen Yang was a little angry.

Anyway, there's no penalty for dying, and I've already racked up 60,000 exploration points.

I'd like to see who you are, trying to pull this trick.

Chen Yang simply threw away the oil lamp in his hand, stared at the two red lights, gritted his teeth, and strode forward.

I hadn't gone far when I felt my foot slip.

Before he could react, Chen Yang suddenly lost his balance and fell into a steep slope!

Holy crap, the road ahead is all smooth!

What if we don't play by the rules?

He rolled over in a ball, the wind whistling in his ears.

The slope was rugged and uneven, and the golden shovel in his hand made a clanging sound as it struck the ground.

Chen Yang rolled dozens of meters before finally stopping, crashing heavily onto a flat area.

Although he wasn't seriously injured, Chen Yang still felt somewhat uneasy.

The two red lights remained motionless, suspended in the air, their shadows carrying a hint of mockery.

"You son of a bitch, don't laugh! You'll get what's coming to you!"

He drew a Sun-shroom card and threw it on the ground.

A faint light appeared, and a small mushroom with yellow spots on its head emerged, smiling at Chen Yang.

[Sun-dried mushroom]

Level 1

Sunlight production rate: 300 points per hour (automatic collection)

Armor: 0

Blood volume: 50

skill:

Growth: Five minutes after planting, the Sun Mushroom will evolve into its complete form, greatly increasing its sunlight production rate and providing a wider range of light.

Although the light can only illuminate a small area now, Chen Yang has seen a fully grown Sun Mushroom.

A fully grown Sunshroom can illuminate the entire cave like a small fluorescent light.

He is waiting.

Wait until this sun mushroom grows up.

At that time, he will be able to see clearly what the source of these two red lights is.
