Chapter 202: Weituo Didn't Mean It

Luka, Weituo, and Salvatore looked at each other, their three faces illuminated green by these fluorescent mosses.

A huge bronze shield and a short sword appeared in their hands, and Salvatore slowly assumed a fighting stance.

"Lord Luka, now we seem to have no choice but to continue forward."

Compared to the panicked and collapsing Weituo, Salvatore was still calm, but Luka's powerful hearing could still hear Salvatore's heartbeat sounding like a war drum, deafening.

"Thump!"

The steel totem pole slammed heavily into the ground, creating a shallow pit, and an earthy yellow light ring radiated out, instantly wrapping a thin layer of energy protective shield around the three.

"Linear formation! The retreat is cut off, let's explore this cave!"

Nodding, Salvatore, holding the bronze giant shield, took the lead, Luka walked on the side-rear holding the totem pole with one hand, and Weituo followed at the end with a crossbow in one hand and a short sword in the other.

The three formed a diagonal line and slowly stepped onto this fluorescent bacterial mat.

The bacterial mat was soft, and with one step, the entire sole of the foot sank in; the slippery feeling gave the three a feeling of stepping inside the intestines of some huge creature.

The three were on high alert, stepping deeper into the cave passage.

Although those strange branches and strange flowers were slowly wriggling and trembling, they didn't launch an attack as the three had imagined, which made the three feel a little more relaxed.

The fluorescent light emitted by the bacterial mat after being stepped on turned from green to white, so clear footprints formed behind the three.

The atmosphere was oppressive, the environment strange, but there was no danger along the way.

This caused the active-minded Weituo's attention to begin to wander.

Kicking the serrated green grass by his feet lightly, smelling the human-faced flowers hanging on top, and watching these plants like sensitive plants, shrinking and trembling when he touched them lightly, Weituo's mouth curled into a curious and inquisitive smile.

Who knows if these strange plants can be used to make combat potions!

The short sword lightly poked a small branch covered with sharp teeth beside him.

Whoa! It's quite sharp!

"Clang!"

A huge sound of gold and iron clashing spread throughout the passage, and Salvatore and Luka, who were extremely nervous in front, were almost startled into jumping on the spot.

"What?"

"What's wrong?"

And Weituo, who was also startled, retreated repeatedly, raising the short sword in his hand; a row of neat tooth marks made him unable to help but "gulp" and swallow a mouthful of saliva.

If that strike had just been bitten on his hand... cold sweat flowed!

And Salvatore, who was scouting in the front, knew as soon as he saw this situation that it must be his stupid companion who had done something good again.

But at this time, he couldn't care about scolding him.

"Run! Run quickly!"

Like a chain reaction, the strange mushrooms next to the strange branches covered with sharp teeth all suddenly split into a cross from the middle, and simultaneously sprayed out bursts of rich, bright red mist.

"Damn it, you stupid pig! What the hell did you do?"

Luka was furious, scolding while running.

With the mushrooms on the branches as the center, the surrounding serrated green grass also seemed like a triggered mechanism, one by one sharp grass leaves "whooshed" and began to shoot in all directions.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

"Clang! Clang! Ouch!"

Luka ran at the end, limping with a serrated grass leaf stuck in half of his butt.

Weituo, who ran fast, had already overtaken him, and only Luka, who was the slowest, hurriedly used the totem pole to block behind him, but it was inevitable that there would be fish that slipped through the net.

The furious Luka wished he could throw the steel totem pole in his hand at Weituo's head in front.

Fortunately, after turning a corner, the legendary huge cave appeared not far ahead, and the rioting plants behind seemed to have vented their anger and calmed down.

Catching up with the two who had already run to the entrance and stopped, Luka glared fiercely at Weituo, who was laughing sheepishly.

"Hehe! Boss Luka, I... I... it's all my fault, it's all my fault! I'll help you pull out the thorn!"

Weituo's hands were fast, but Luka shouted faster.

"Ow~"

The serrated grass leaves of the green grass were firmly hooked into the flesh of Luka's butt.

Weituo looked at the shreds of flesh hanging on the grass leaves in his hand, and showed a smile that was uglier than crying to Luka, who was spinning in pain.

"Lu... Luka... Boss, I... I... I didn't mean it!"

"Slap!"

Luka couldn't help it anymore and slapped Weituo's wretched face hard.

Weituo's originally thin face immediately swelled up.

Salvatore, who was very speechless on the side, suddenly widened his eyes.

"Weituo, what's wrong with your face?"

Weituo grimaced.

"Salva, it's okay! It's all my fault, I shouldn't have..."

"No, I mean what's on your face? There are some on your neck and hands too!"

Only then did Weituo discover that red dots had appeared on the back of his hand at some point.

"What is it? What is this? Ah, mushrooms, it's that mushroom from just now; I inhaled a mouthful of that red mist when I was running away! Salva, save me! Save me! I must be poisoned!"

Salvatore and Luka in front retreated simultaneously; Luka couldn't even care about the pain in his butt, hurriedly checking if his right hand, which had just slapped Weituo, had been infected.

"Tee-hee! Hahaha! Hahahahaha!"

Amidst the chaos, a giggling female voice suddenly came from the passage behind them, followed by a streak of black light flying over the heads of the three, flying straight into the huge cave ahead.

"Crow? Crow, it must be this crow that caused the trouble! Boss Luka, Salva, hurry, let's catch it!"

Weituo shouted while stroking the red dots that kept growing on his face and body.

Those red dots kept falling off with his movements, but as soon as they fell, new ones grew out from the flesh, and they grew bigger and bigger; if you looked closely, they were small red mushrooms.

Ignoring Weituo's cursing, Luka and Salvatore's eyes turned to the cave with the crow's figure, and they were instantly stunned by the grand and strange scene before them.

Inside the huge cave, strange plants grew wantonly, as if they were nightmares from another world. Flowers with human faces whispered softly, and bone-like tree trunks twisted and stretched, while python-like vines slowly wriggled in the mist. The entire cave was shrouded in thick mist, the mist changing colors like a rainbow, sometimes scarlet, sometimes dark green, adding a layer of psychedelic and dangerous atmosphere to this space.

Monsters composed of half-plants and half-flesh wandered among them, some dozing, some walking slowly, making low gurgling sounds. Their bodies seemed to be forcibly pieced together, branches and leaves intertwined with flesh and blood, both strange and disgusting.

However, the most chilling thing was the monster in the depths of the cave—it was like a mountain composed of flesh and blood and plants, huge and twisted, lying on the ground, as if sleeping. Its surface was covered with wriggling vines and exposed muscles, occasionally letting out a low gasp, shaking the cave slightly.

A small red umbrella was slowly spinning and floating on top of this huge monster! ===== CHAPTER 203 =====
