Chapter 237: Mushroom-Fiend Ghost King

Zhu Zhiquan carried his hands behind his back and spat out two words: "Arson."

Zhao Yuxin: "Arson?"

Zhu Zhiquan: "Yes, just arson. Only this way can we better attract their attention, and we can even counter-kill!"

Zhao Yuxin: "Alright then, you contact Ling Xi and the others. Although I have researched plants that can start fires, it is not convenient for me to open the Plant Transport Bag right now."

Zhu Zhiquan: "I can't use it?"

Zhao Yuxin: "No, I made this using the exclusive crafting interface; you don't have usage rights."

After hearing this, Zhu Zhiquan stopped wasting words. He sent the information about the Toad-Mushroom Ghost Fiends to Sun Zi and asked: "Do you have Molotov Cocktails? This thing hates glowing things."

After a while, Sun Zi sent a message: "Damn! This thing is on such a large scale! You wait, I've already made Molotov Cocktails for you."

Before long, the Molotov Cocktails were spat out from the mouth of the Easy-Food Doll, 28 bottles in total.

Zhu Zhiquan casually picked up a lighter, lit a Molotov Cocktail, and then threw it toward the place where the Toad-Mushroom Ghost Fiends were most numerous.

Boom, boom, boom~

Seas of fire rose up among the Toad-Mushroom Ghost Fiends. The Toad-Mushroom Ghost Fiends that weren't burned by the fire all turned into firefighters, spitting black mist at the burning areas.

The scorching flames were quickly covered by the black mist. When the black mist dissipated, even the original burning locations and the ground beneath them had been swallowed.

Seeing that it was effective, Zhu Zhiquan lit the remaining Molotov Cocktails and threw them out.

"Quack, quack, quack~"

"Quack, quack, quack~"

"Quack, quack, quack..."

The Toad-Mushroom Ghost Fiends were attracted by the flames that appeared in their sight. The frog calls they emitted even made Zhu Zhiquan and the others feel nauseated, and spider-like cracks crawled onto the car windows.

Because Zhao Yuxin had the best hearing, she couldn't help but lower the car window and vomit upon hearing the frog calls, and her hand gripping the handle slipped as a result.

"Azhao!" Seeing Zhao Yuxin vomiting, Zhu Zhiquan immediately lay on the rear window and shouted, not even grabbing his weapon.

Before Zhao Yuxin could reply, a tree root exposed on the ground happened to block the middle of the road. It was already too late when Zhao Yuxin wanted to change the direction of the Tricycle.

Bang!

The Tricycle overturned when it passed over this tree root, and the items inside the carriage were turned upside down. Fortunately, Gelina and the Hook-Lock Tree Demon were inside the vehicle, and they simultaneously released Vines and Thorns, fixing most of the supplies inside the car in an instant.

After Zhu Zhiquan recovered, he immediately reached through the rear window to grab Zhao Yuxin's hand and asked: "Azhao, how are you now?"

At this moment, Zhao Yuxin was covered in shards of broken glass, but she had no wounds on her body. One hand was covering her head, as if the rollover had caused her discomfort.

Zhu Zhiquan knew she couldn't answer for a moment, so he climbed into the driver's seat from the rear window, turned off the car lights, and quickly rushed out of the Tricycle to look at the large group of Toad-Mushroom Ghost Fiends behind.

At this time, a large number of Toad-Mushroom Ghost Fiends had already extinguished the fire and were slowly approaching them—no, approaching the location where the light source had disappeared.

At this moment, they had no weapons or armor on them. The plants that could be used for combat were either left in the car or still in Zhao Yuxin's Plant Transport Bag, and the car had overturned; the situation was extremely critical.

"Ajiu, let's keep running now. With the strength of the Durian Warriors, they can flip the car back over," Zhao Yuxin said, swaying as she leaned behind Zhu Zhiquan.

Zhu Zhiquan supported her arm and slowly sat down. He turned around and let out a scorching shout: "Everyone, get ready for battle! Let us properly experience the battle that is about to come!"

Slap!

Zhao Yuxin was so angry she gave Zhu Zhiquan a headbutt. Then she looked at the Toad-Mushroom Ghost Fiends and found that this group of monsters was still moving slowly, as if there would be no problem if they ran away.

But why did the surrounding animals and even other monsters look like they didn't dare to move? She also felt a trace of strangeness, but this actually indicated that there was very likely an even more terrifying existence nearby; they had to shake off these cannon fodder quickly!

Immediately, she braced her body and ordered: "Durian Warriors, hurry up and flip the car back over! We can't stay here forever!"

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? My clansmen will warmly entertain you. My dear sacrifices!" Suddenly, a seductive voice rang out in their minds, which couldn't help but make their hair stand on end.

Zhu Zhiquan was the first to feel that something was wrong. He was the first to turn his head to look above the Toad-Mushroom Ghost Fiend group, and Zhao Yuxin also looked over following his gaze.

They saw a head with an extremely bloated human face hanging high in mid-air, with countless tentacles below it, like a human-faced jellyfish floating in the jungle.

Seeing this scene in the carriage, Xuebao was so scared that it hid behind the Guardian Goddess Statue. Gelina and the Hook-Lock Tree Demon ignored the human-faced jellyfish above and bound the approaching Toad-Mushroom Ghost Fiends, allowing the Durian Warriors to flip the Tricycle back over at this very moment.

Zhu Zhiquan protected Zhao Yuxin behind him and stared at the opponent with the Nightmare Demon Eye.

Name: Mushroom-Fiend Ghost King

Type: Demon, Ghost, Illusion-Dream

Introduction: A type of monster that excels at setting up illusions in the brains of its prey. It is the king of the Toad-Mushroom Ghost Fiends. If you encounter it, you must be prepared for the possibility of being hunted by all the Toad-Mushroom Ghost Fiends within a two-kilometer radius.

{Note: Even a king fears light as brilliant as the sun. }

"A bit interesting!" After reading the information provided by the Nightmare Demon Eye, Zhu Zhiquan showed an excited expression. "Gelina, help me pass my weapon!"

Seeing that Zhu Zhiquan still wanted to fight the opponent at a time like this, Zhao Yuxin was so angry that she prepared to give Zhu Zhiquan another headbutt.

But her Bat Wing Ear collected intense sound waves coming from within two kilometers around them. Zhao Yuxin immediately frowned, her tone carrying a trace of panic: "Not good! Ajiu, it seems we've been surrounded!"

Gelina and the two Durian Warriors came to Zhu Zhiquan and Zhao Yuxin's side together, handing the Five-Star Sword, Xuangang Spear, Xunfeng Crossbow, and Arrows to them.

After the Tricycle was flipped back over, Xuebao also came to the driver's seat from the rear window for the first time, waving at them continuously to signal them to get in the car quickly.

Zhu Zhiquan took the Five-Star Sword and Xuangang Spear, and Zhao Yuxin took the Xunfeng Crossbow and Arrows. After dividing the weapons, Zhao Yuxin immediately pulled Zhu Zhiquan and ran toward the carriage.

But Zhu Zhiquan suddenly pushed her away, then pointed toward the void. Four Fire Phoenixes circled around him once before flying in the direction he pointed.

Boom!

The four Fire Phoenixes collided with a cylinder, exploding into brilliant sparks in mid-air.

The Mushroom-Fiend Ghost King looked at Zhu Zhiquan with a smile and said in a slightly mocking tone: "Reflexes are quite fast, but... only sacrifices like you can become sacrifices for the gods!"

As it spoke, the Toad-Mushroom Ghost Fiends below no longer advanced slowly, but instead launched a charge toward them, arriving in front of them in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, the Hook-Lock Tree Demon took the lead. With a wave of its hands, all the Vines on its body seemed to come alive and flew toward the Toad-Mushroom Ghost Fiends. The barbs on them were like the Sickle of the Grim Reaper, precisely harvesting the life of every Toad-Mushroom Ghost Fiend.

And under the command of the Mushroom-Fiend Ghost King, the Toad-Mushroom Ghost Fiends also began their counterattack.

Swish, swish, swish~

A large number of black spheres wrapped in thick fog smashed toward them. The coverage was wide and the firepower density was high; even if everyone could dodge, they couldn't escape this blanket attack.
