This isn't a souls-like game at all.

Amidst a buzzing sound, a slight vibration came from the cylindrical protrusion at the top of the axe handle that connected to the axe blade.

The brass metal pipe was instantly heated to a red-hot color by the high temperature, and the heavy axe blades on both sides also became bright.

"Damn! So handsome!"

He looked at the axe blade that was emitting high temperature and couldn't help swallowing.

This axe is so damn cool. Look at the sharp and shining axe blade after being charged. If it were to chop someone down with this axe, wouldn't it be able to stop bleeding, disinfect, and grill all at once?

"Gulu..."

Bai Yu swallowed his saliva unconsciously, his eyes fixed on the axe in Ye Yiyi's hand, as if he had seen his dream lover and couldn't look away.

But it wasn't long before the female knight's eyes turned suspicious.

"Michaela, why is the axe handle also lighting up?" she couldn't help but ask.

"what?"

Ye Yiyi's gaze shifted downwards, looking at the axe handle which had become equally bright at some point.

"Hmm...it seems this is a flaw in the axe. There's a problem with the heat dissipation, so the handle is also heating up."

"???"

Wattol stared blankly at Ye Yiyi who was stroking the burning axe handle, opening his mouth to speak but stopping himself.

The metal axe handle was clearly burning red, but why didn't you react at all, Sir Michaela?

"Let me see..."

The female knight reached out and grabbed the axe handle abruptly.

"Hey! This is red-hot iron!!"

Ye Yiyi was startled and reached out quickly to grab the female knight's arm, moving her hand away from the axe handle.

He casually threw the axe to the ground. Without the control of its user, the charged axe cooled down rapidly and the scorching light faded.

Ye Yiyi held Bai Yu's hand and looked at his palm, watching the originally white palm turn black and red, and the surface layer of skin had been completely burned away.

"Why are you so fierce?"

He was angry and distressed, and shouted at the somewhat panicked female knight.

"I have no idea……"

Bai Yu frowned, his eyes wandered around, and he spoke hesitantly.

"I saw that you were fine holding it, Michaela, and I thought the temperature wasn't very high..."

"Everyone's physique is different!" Ye Yiyi was so angry that he didn't know what to say, "I can even swim in lava! Can you?

"And the temperature is so high, don't you feel the pain?! You won't pull your hand back?!"

Such a white hand, but now it has become like this!

This female knight dares to touch everything she sees with her hands. How did she survive until now?

"But I really don't know..." Bai Yu felt a little aggrieved, "And I trust you."

"What does this have to do with your trust in me?"

Ye Yiyi was so angry that she laughed, "I didn't ask you to touch the axe! And don't move your hands!"

The female knight gritted her teeth slightly, her trembling arms stopped moving, and her whole body seemed to be frozen there.

Ye Yiyi quickly switched to the Mage, took out a small glass bottle of life essence and resuscitation potion from behind him, opened the cork, and poured it on the female knight's hands without paying.

The air here is filled with highly toxic bacterial spores, so we can't take off our gas masks, and therefore we can't take any oral medication.

The external application of life essence and resuscitation potion was also quite effective. With Ye Yiyi's generous application of them, the female knight's charred palms quickly recovered in the surging vitality.

He then took out his staff and cast the [Healing] and [Full Vitality] spells on the female knight.

The former can heal all wounds and greatly increase resistance to bleeding.

The latter can slowly restore health over time.

Thanks to the fact that he had previously added a lot of points to Concentration, and the fact that he was summoned as a spirit, he was able to bring two more auxiliary magics.

Two blue rays of light fell in succession, and a faint dark blue light flowed all over the female knight's body.

Her burnt palms healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, shedding dead skin and growing skin as delicate as a baby's.

"call……"

Seeing that the situation had improved, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and glared at the female knight fiercely, then gently shook off her healed hand.

"Next time, think before you do something, or ask me. Don't be so aggressive and just rush into things! Got it?"

"Um……"

The female knight lowered her head and responded softly, reaching out to stroke the delicate palm, and found that the thick calluses that had been with her for many years had also disappeared.

That smooth, white and tender flesh no longer looks like the weathered and rough hands of a soldier.

Bai Yu bit her lip lightly and watched Ye Yiyi angrily kick the axe blade on the ground, and finally picked it up and carried it on her shoulder, her eyes becoming more and more complicated.

Wattol, who had watched the whole scene from beginning to end, looked down at the ground in confusion.

"Ms. Michaela?" He couldn't help but call softly.

"what happened?"

"Look at this..." Wattol pointed at the ground with a surprised expression, "Mushrooms, mushrooms are growing from the ground!"

"mushroom?"

Ye Yiyi turned around in confusion, her eyes suddenly widening.

On the ground in front of Bai Yu, a large number of white mushrooms grew out of the cracked wooden ground one after another like bamboo shoots after a rain.

"What the hell? Why are there so many mushrooms?"

Ye Yiyi looked at the mushroom group that grew to a person's height in a short while, and couldn't help but reach out to pick a fist-sized mushroom.

The light curtain then popped out.

"Holy crap! Is this even a prop?!"

【Evil Mushroom】

Chapter 235 Welcome to the Black Shop

【Evil Mushroom】

Item Description: A strange fungus born from the heart of the tree.

One of the fruiting mushrooms with strange effects.

One of the materials used to make props,

It can also be used as a recipe ingredient.

Taking it directly can temporarily increase health, concentration and energy limits.

Made of immortality and vitality,

After a complex and dangerous cultivation process,

The gardener successfully harvested rich and plump fruits.

"???"

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi was filled with questions.

Am I seeing things? Eating this mushroom can directly increase my body measurements?

"Oh my god, there's gold growing on the ground!"

"What gold?"

I don’t know if it’s because Wator’s ears are pointed, or if it triggered the bounty hunter keyword.

He completely ignored the mushrooms in front of him, and looked around nervously, as if he was looking for the gold that Ye Yiyi had mentioned.

Ye Yiyi rolled her eyes and looked at the mushroom group that was still growing vigorously in front of her.

After just a short while of reading the item description, the mushroom in front of him grew to nearly two meters high, almost as tall as Bai Yu.

"what on earth is it?"

Bai Yu walked over in confusion and even had to look up at the big mushroom that was growing taller and taller.

"Well, I guess it's the essence of life."

Ye Yiyi thought for a moment and said, "When I was treating you just now, didn't I pour a lot of life essence? A lot of it fell directly to the ground. It might be because of that..."

"Life Essence?"

The female knight was stunned when she heard this, and then her eyes became dull.

She looked at the big white mushroom in front of her and muttered to herself in a trance.

"I thought it was some kind of potion for treating burns... but it's actually life essence?!"

"How do you change the weapon? What happened to the O-fin?

The female knight's reaction was a bit strange, and Ye Yiyi was a little puzzled.

It's just two tubes of medicine. He still has a bunch of it in his anus getting moldy.

Besides, he doesn't lose blood, so he has no use for this blood-recovering thing.

"The essence of life is the essence of life..."

The female knight was stunned for a while, with a complicated look in her eyes, and finally she uttered some nonsense.

"Well, I know. You mean this thing is precious, right?"

Ye Yiyi waved his hand perfunctorily, "We'll talk about this question later... Anyway, it should be because of the essence of life that these mushrooms grew out of the ground."

Then he fell into deep thought.

There is pure vitality in the essence of life, and the fungus needs vitality to grow.

According to the descriptions of the items he collected along the way, after the evil fungus absorbs enough vitality, it will undergo immortal transformation.

It can grow two kinds of fruiting mushrooms: [Immortal Core of the Nie-born Mushroom] and [Nie-born Mushroom].

The former is obtained after destroying the dead core of the fungus that is parasitic on the lingering vine veins. It contains a large amount of vitality. Taking it directly can greatly increase strength and energy for a long time.

But the price or side effect is "fungalization."

The latter grows directly from the ground after being watered with life essence and resurrection potion.

Not only can it be used as a recipe ingredient, but taking it directly can also increase the upper limit of three measurements, and there are no side effects!

It goes without saying which of these two mushrooms is more valuable.

"Could it be that the Earth Mother Cult collects immortal cores just to cultivate evil mushrooms?"

This guess suddenly popped up in Ye Yiyi's mind.

After all, the immortal core also has a lot of vitality, which is just right for cultivating evil mushrooms.

"Tsk..."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but click his tongue again.

If only I had discovered that uncultivated plant when I sneaked in earlier.

Ultimately it's that woman's fault!

If she hadn't discovered it by chance... Then again, why does she have vertical pupils?

Glancing at Wator who was still looking for gold on the ground, Ye Yiyi's thoughts, which had gradually begun to wander, finally returned to the right track.

"Okay, stop looking, the gold is right in front of you."

"In front of me?"

Wator was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the big white mushroom that was almost three or four meters high, his expression gradually becoming confused.

"Did I miss something? Why is it growing so fast?"
