T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 485, Section 484: The Green Meatball

Although the community has been discussing Jiang Heyi's personal compilation of the Tower World Encyclopedia, most players are still completely clueless about the Critical Challenge.

Until Yuru explained each rule in detail.

"Critical Challenge: Echoes of an Old Era"

"During the challenge, players will receive support from the Chaos Celestial Sphere."

"Players are not restricted from bringing items from the main world into the critical challenge."

"The player's current maximum number of assisting NPCs increases by 1."

"Critical challenge failed, team's challenge count -1".

"The conditions for passing the level must be discovered by the players themselves."

There was an uproar.

Nong Ya, who had been explaining for a long time, suddenly froze, unsure of what to say to cover up her bewilderment.

To date, there isn't a single instance in the Tower World where the system forces players to participate and even allows them to ignore the Tower World prefix and carry items from the main world.

What level of difficulty is this dungeon?

Sister Xilu could no longer contain her smile, and she grinned slightly.

"Everyone, you may need powerful mental magic defenses."

Sure enough, it came.

In the message Li Furan conveyed, he also mentioned that Xi Lu would provide hints for the dungeon.

The dungeon has two bosses, a male and a female. The female boss controls a woman who generates mushrooms, and her magic is more focused on physical objects, so it's not too difficult to defend against.

The gloomy-faced man is much more troublesome.

His mental magic is fast, stealthy, and has a wide range, making it difficult to defend against.

Jiang Heyi immediately thought of...

"Peppermint Mommy, save us!"

"Ugh?"

Inside the potion workshop, Mint's hands trembled as she was concocting potions, and she almost spilled it on Renee beside her.

A group of people rushed in noisily, their eyes filled with eager anticipation...

She only glanced at it twice, but the strong sense of recognition made her naturally put her hands on her hips.

"I understand, I understand. A potion to prevent mental magic. Hmm... I've improved the recipe you left behind after defeating the black cat. Mass production shouldn't be a problem now."

"Still want to help in the battle?"

"Sigh, without me, you guys really can't do anything right."

"What do you mean? Why did you invite Renee and Kesha? Do you think I'm not strong enough?!"

Only after much explanation did Mint believe that this opponent was no ordinary foe.

While waiting for the potions to be refined, everyone filled their backpacks with all the various potions that Mint had previously refined.

The Surt Heart Stone, which has a miraculous effect in resisting mental magic, should be owned by everyone.

I feel it.

It felt like returning to the early stages of conquering the Temple of the Clarity, where potion supplies were plentiful and fire was possible at will.

Back in the preparation room, Xi Lu glanced at the Virtual Reality Boundary, which had armed itself to the teeth, and covered her mouth with a laugh.

"Ready?"

It's clear she doesn't like the male and female characters in the dungeon that players can challenge; she looks like a jailer and is there just for fun.

Jiang Heyi is very puzzled.

Are you selling critical copies wholesale? Why are they appearing all at once during this period?
If Zhifeng saw this, he'd probably be so happy he'd slide down his knees in the living room.

Seven people from the virtual-real boundary, plus three guild NPCs, a total of 10 people, logged into the critical instance area.

The air was thick and humid, filled with a mixture of decaying soil and a sweet, fermented smell that assaulted everyone's nostrils.

The rock face beside me was covered with fluorescent mycelium, like countless tiny blue veins pulsating in the darkness, illuminating the slippery fungal carpet beneath my feet.

It is not ordinary moss, but some kind of living tissue. When you step on it, it will shrink slightly and ooze an amber-colored mucus.

"Ugh," the blanket groaned in disapproval.

The sticky, chewy texture made her feel like she was stepping on a slippery piece of meat.

Giant umbrella-shaped mushrooms, resembling deformed pillars, support the dome, with the largest exceeding three meters in diameter.

A translucent veil hung from the edge of the mushroom cap, trembling slightly with the rhythm of everyone's breathing.

Whenever someone touches it, it sprays out a mist of spores, forming a shimmering halo in the dark blue glow of the fungal colony.

Deeper into the ground, tumor-like clusters of bacteria rise up, their surfaces covered with honeycomb-like pores, and oval-shaped objects can be vaguely seen pulsating rhythmically inside.

Judging from the environment, the group seemed to be in some kind of underground city.

This place has been occupied by a massive amount of fungi, with mycelium entangling and encroaching, completely covering every corner as far as the eye can see, forming a huge mushroom kingdom.

Following the path illuminated by the fluorescent mushrooms, a spacious central plaza came into view.

The man was as gloomy as water, just as Wei Shen described, as if everyone in the world owed him money, and he was as cold as an ice cube.

The woman was like a lazy big cat; when she saw the people at the boundary between the real and the virtual appear, her eyes sparkled and her face lit up with joy.

If that doll, which can only express emotional changes through facial expressions, were here, it would probably look like this.

ω-→ OωO！ ！
The square where the two were located was the only one in the area that had not been corroded or assimilated by fungi.

Jiang Heyi quickly reminded him.

"No matter what, don't criticize the woman who manipulated the mushrooms; you can criticize the man instead."

Important things should be emphasized three times.

Mint and the others didn't know why, but they nodded seriously.

This is a lesson learned by the Qilin Pool guild of the Three Kingdoms Land based on the number of challenges they have completed.

If a man makes any outrageous remarks to a woman, he will unleash a powerful mental spell that covers almost the entire screen.

Although he had excellent resistance to mental magic, Jiang Heyi wasn't confident that he could be completely immune to it.

Beneath the woman, a unique silver-gray mushroom-like creature emerged from the ground, becoming her mount.

She swung her feet happily, her blonde hair shimmering in the fluorescent light of the mushrooms as she shook her head.

Beautiful and charming.

Jiang Heyi put a choke on the prison guard beforehand.

"What, what are you doing!" "I'm afraid if you say that this is something you like, it will really trigger the mechanism!" Jiang Heyi gritted his teeth and warned in a low voice, "Don't say anything out of line, that gloomy guy is very sensitive!"

The two were whispering to each other when the woman finally spoke.

"Wow, a group of adorable newcomers have arrived at the trial."

"There's a really cute spirit summoner with chubby cheeks, I want to rub against them!"

The orange tea vendor, whose name was mentioned, was taken aback, not quite understanding what it meant to want to freeload.

"Oh, this berserker is so cool. Rubbing against her, seeing how shy she looks, it must be quite nice."

French Fries instinctively leaned back.

What's wrong with this guy? He has absolutely no air of a master. His opening remarks sound like those of a freakish prison guard...

The man scoffed, "Boring."

"Don't rush, don't rush, I'll rub against you too!"

"No."

The woman leaped and caught the man, cupping his cheeks and pressing her face against his...

A bunch of random rubbing!
"Woohoo~~"

As it rubbed against the surface, it even let out happy laughter.

Unable to bear it any longer, the man slipped out of the square and glanced at the scene from a distance.

The intelligence is true.

As long as you don't disturb the woman's performance, she can help the player get rid of their gloomy face from the battle.

Without offending women, full-screen AOE mental magic will not be triggered for the time being.

Li Furan's information channel is invaluable.

This one detail alone saved the boundary between reality and illusion a life.

She jumped off her mushroom mount, and the moment she landed, she turned into a sticky, dark green pudding that bounced around.

"Dear adventurers, ignore that unlucky fellow, let's have some fun."

There's no more walkthrough content after that, because I was also stuck on Qilin Pool to the point of near madness.

"Little mushroom, come out and greet the guests!"

A teeth-grinding "crunch" came from above.

Everyone looked up abruptly.

The so-called "rock top" is actually an interwoven network of mycelium, which is now contracting and expanding in a slow rhythm, with the sporangia adhering to it swelling regularly like a heart.

Suddenly, with a few "plop" sounds, ten sticky objects were sprayed out like toothpaste. They pupaed out in a daze and fell to the ground.

They are mushroom people covered in fluorescent slime, about the same height as ordinary people, except for the mushroom cap on their heads, they are no different from ordinary people.

They landed with a wet, squelching sound, bounced like flattened jelly, and then wobbled to their feet.

"My dear children, show us your best skills and let the adventurers learn from you."

The green mycelium pudding ball, transformed from a woman, rolled around on the ground like a wheel, excitedly muttering "child."

"Mint, Renee, and Ksha, you guys go deal with her!"

"The Mushroom People belong to us."

Following Jiang Heyi's instructions, the three of them acted together.

Renee grabbed Mint's hand and tore through space to travel through time.

The merrily rolling mycelium pudding "wheel" paused, seemingly startled by the two people who had vanished into thin air.

In the blink of an eye, Kshatriya's Word of Power arrived.

"Extreme Cold Breath!"

The biting cold wind descended upon "Big Dumpling," freezing the cotton-like mycelium on her body.

"The Blade of the Tidecaller".

A deep blue blade, imbued with the element of water, instantly materialized and pierced through the woman's soft, supple body.

The pudding balls deflated quickly, like punctured balloons.

Surprisingly easy to succeed.

Jiang Heyi stared intently at the man observing the battle from afar, and found that he remained unmoved.

wrong!

"Boom."

French fries were knocked off balance by a punch from the mushroom man and sent flying backward.

As I maintained my punching stance, a familiar female voice rang out.

"Are you looking for me?"

Kesha turned around abruptly and met the mushroom man's bright golden eyes.

She looked again at the body that had quickly disappeared on the ground, and suddenly realized.

"All the mushrooms are her creations, and she can switch freely among them, like a wandering soul searching for a host."

One-Punch Super Mushroom swung his arm, turned 180 degrees, and punched into the air!

As soon as Renee tore open the spatial rift, she was met with a powerful and fierce punch that blasted into the rift with surging magic.

The two who were preparing to launch a sneak attack were forced to close the passage in an emergency and retreat back to the unstable magical space.

"Spatial magic, huh? What a rare talent. Luckily, I'm a cut above the rest."

His tone was overflowing with pride.

How did she know where Renee would be?

The stealth that spatial magic prides itself on seems to be one-way transparent to her.

"Don't be shy, just give it your all and beat me."

The woman, transformed into a giant, chubby green ball, rolled around on the ground once again.

She seems to really like this initial form.

However, the two inconspicuous little black dots in the center of the dumpling have already slyly set their sights on the others who are fighting against the mushroom, ready to seize the bodies of the creation at any time and give everyone a surprise.
