Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 802 Prepare to take action
At this moment, Xiao Ran and Wu Man had no idea what was happening outside, or rather, they didn't need to care.

After all, this was only a tiny bit of their spiritual power, which was insignificant compared to their main body.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ran's true form was already quietly taking action.

Beneath the massive fungal ball, golden mycelia rapidly burrowed into the soil, silently laying a trap, waiting for those unsuspecting creatures to take the bait.

So the wisp of consciousness they separated was purely for fun and relaxation.

I never expected to find such delicious food here, so of course I drank to my heart's content.

Hao stood to the side, acting like a waiter, constantly bringing the wine spores to the two of them. Seeing that the two were already unconscious, he secretly sneered in his heart.

After a while, once he was sure the two guys were completely drunk, he swaggered out and sent a message to his pet, who was hiding in the shadows.

"There are no problems now, let's get started."

At this moment, Chong brought Xiao Zhenye and Zhao Qingming over. Looking at the two clumps of mycelium clinging to the wine spores, Zhao Qingming replied, "Why not add more soul power? This amount of soul power is too small; the extent to which I can influence it may not be very high."

"There's no way around it. If we let them divide out too many units of mycelium, I'm worried it will cause unnecessary trouble. Five hundred units of mycelium is just right."

Hao explained helplessly.

At the same time, he quietly asked his pet, "Are these two really any good? You're not being fooled, are you?"

"Don't worry, these two are definitely extraordinary experts. I have witnessed their strength with my own eyes, and I can guarantee that they possess a magical power that can absolutely help us."

"That's what Chong said with great certainty."

Because he had indeed witnessed Zhao Qingming's attack. Despite having only a few thousand mycelial units of strength, and using the most common mycelium, it unleashed terrifying power, instantly annihilating several of his skilled fighters.

If it weren't for this incident, how would Chong have had the chance to meet the two of them?

Therefore, Chong firmly believes in this matter.

With Chong's assurance, Hao felt much more at ease and continued to say to the two, "Whatever you need, we can fully cooperate."

"Have your people come with me, I'll teach you how to set it up." Zhao Qingming gestured for Chong and Hao to follow.

Hao was a little worried, but sensing that the two idiots were completely drunk, he felt relieved and went outside with Zhao Qingming.

At this moment, Xiao Zhenye's consciousness slowly approached Xiao Ran and Wu Man's side, and a wisp of mental energy lashed out at the two of them.

Immediately, Xiao Ran and Wu Man were startled, and even the original body outside felt the shock.

That familiar scent jolted Xiao Ran awake: "Grandpa!"

"Two idiots, what kind of skills do they have to dare to play like this?"

Xiao Zhenye, suppressing his anger, reprimanded him.

But Xiao Ran didn't care at all; instead, she felt a surge of joy: "I've finally found you. If I hadn't found you, I was planning to go to the Central Tomb Area to look for you."

"You're lucky, otherwise you probably wouldn't have found us even if you got to the central tomb area."

As Xiao Zhenye spoke, he felt a pang of emotion. He hadn't expected Xiao Ran to catch up with him, nor had he imagined that he would be here.

"Sir, what's wrong with you...?"

Xiao Ran then noticed that Hao, who had been following her, was gone, but there seemed to be some other commotion outside.

He could sense many pheromones flashing outside, but the current 500 units of mycelium could not accommodate even a few units of mental energy, so he naturally could not perceive the movements outside.

"Of course, it's to deal with you."

When Xiao Zhenye brought up the matter, his mood immediately soured, and he gave a brief explanation of what had happened.

It turns out that Xiao Zhenye and Zhao Qingming encountered a lot of trouble after arriving here, but fortunately, both of them were shrewd and capable people.

It adapted to living as mycelium at an extremely rapid pace.

Moreover, the two discovered that most of their methods were no longer usable after turning into mycelium.

However, not all of them are unusable.

For example, Zhao Qingming, as a spirit immortal, can still release some of his abilities through the properties of mycelium.

It's just that its power isn't strong enough.

As a ghost cultivator, Xiao Zhenye's strength was far inferior to Zhao Qingming's, but as someone from the Yin sect, Xiao Zhenye quickly came up with other solutions.

The fungus takes root in the soil and directly absorbs the corpse gas from the ground, then gathers it into spores, and releases it out through the spores.

Although the process was troublesome, its power was still acceptable.

It was through this method that the two of them established a connection with the local smugglers.

If Xiao Ran hadn't come, they would probably have already been preparing to sneak into the central tomb area.

"So that's how it can be done."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran suddenly realized that her grandfather had come up with such a method.

This gave him quite a bit of inspiration. It wasn't that Xiao Ran was slow-witted, but rather that his mental strength was strong enough that even if many other methods were useless, he could still sweep through the Tomb Kingdom simply by relying on his mental strength.

In addition, because of his Five Dragon Bracelet, he can ignore the rules here and devour the souls of other mycelia and convert them into his own spiritual power, so there is no need for him to study these complicated methods.

"You really think you're invincible? You were smart this time to use your real name, otherwise your Grandpa Zhao would be ready to take you down by now. You may have little soul power, but if you fell into his hands, he would make sure you were skinned alive, if not dead."

At this point, Xiao Zhenye couldn't help but reprimand Xiao Ran again.

Xiao Ran was absolutely certain of this. He had witnessed Zhao Qingming's methods and was well aware of the special nature of the Spirit Immortal.

Under equal conditions, when it comes to playing dirty tricks, I'm afraid I really can't outsmart these old men.

"Then now is..."

Xiao Ran and Wu Man sensed that the commotion outside was getting louder and louder, and they became curious about what was going on.

"Hmph, let's go all the way with this act, we can't let them off so easily."

Xiao Zhenye didn't say it explicitly, but Xiao Ran and Wu Man could already feel the chill emanating from the old man.

Seeing that her grandfather and Master Zhao were already preparing to take action, Xiao Ran simply went along with it and cooperated obediently.

Anyway, even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up myself. My grandfathers can make a fuss if they want.

After a while, Zhao Qingming returned with Hao and Chong.

Xiao Ran and Wu Man continued to act as if they were extremely drunk, lying on the ground like rag dolls.

Those who had followed them out earlier were now manipulating their mycelium to form layers of rings.

Centered on Xiao Ran and others, they encircled the area layer by layer.

These rings are interconnected, and at first glance they look like an oval sphere. But from a bird's-eye view, you will see that the intertwined hyphae in the gaps between each ring have formed strange patterns.

"Everything is ready. Now it's up to you."

Hao was already urging them on impatiently.

Just now, he had received information from the leaders above that they had begun to take action, and he estimated that at this very moment, the army had already begun to surround this area.

"Okay, we're about to make our move. No matter what happens, don't move. Trust me, there won't be any danger."

Zhao Qingming spoke to Hao again.

"Don't worry, if anyone dares to touch it, I guarantee it will be utterly destroyed."

Just in case, Hao sent out a pheromone signal, once again giving a serious warning to the guys outside.

"Then... let's begin."

Zhao Qingming said to Xiao Zhenye.

The mycelium on Xiao Zhenye's body twitched, and several gray spores trembled out from under the mycelium.

Even Hao had never seen these spores before, and he felt that the grayish things inside seemed extremely dangerous.

However, this only excited Hao. When it comes to dealing with enemies, the more dangerous something is, the stronger it is.

"Kakaka..."

The spores burst open, and billowing gray mist spread out from them, rapidly extending outwards.

"A pool of corpses?"

Xiao Ran pretended to be drunk, but she kept a close eye on her grandfather and the others.

Seeing this scene was truly shocking.

After all, for a fungal mycelium to use human techniques, his grandfather was truly a genius.

pity.

Unfortunately, her grandfather had already embarked on the path of ghost cultivation. If he continued down that path, he would only be able to follow the path of Sister Liu and others, taking the route of evil spirits.

Even if I were to give my grandfather a living human body, he probably still wouldn't be able to become a beginner.

Xiao Ran had also asked Jin Chanzi about this.

Jin Chanzi's answer was straightforward: when a person dies, it's like a lamp going out; no matter how powerful the remaining wisp of soul is, the person is still dead.

Whether it's possession or rebirth, it can never be the same as the original.

The Golden Toad was different in this respect; he did not die, but merely used the lotus seed to reshape his physical body.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran sighed inwardly. The only thing she could think of was to see if she could find a good place for her grandfather to rest in after he went to the underworld.

After all, I have quite a few acquaintances in the underworld.
