Yan Xiu and You Han’s super-powered items were undoubtedly the two that Li Dazhuang wanted but failed to acquire.
Why were these two items in their hands? Were they Containment Personnel?
Out of four people on a mission, three were Containment Personnel. How many Containment Personnel were there in the Hunter Association here in Furong River City?
The Containment Facility had infiltrated the Hunter Association to such an extent. Would it replace the Hunter Association in the future? Thinking of this made Li Dazhuang somewhat excited, as he had become a Containment Personnel before joining the Hunter Association.
"I only hope for a smooth transition, and that no war will occur..."
These thoughts flashed through Li Dazhuang's mind, and he stopped pondering them. The most important thing now was how to escape the predicament.
The help Li Dazhuang could offer was to use his Misfortune Guardian to inflict misfortune upon the Hellish Hunger Mushroom, thereby naturally defeating it. However, even with misfortune, they still needed an attack capable of killing the opponent, otherwise, the Hellish Hunger Mushroom could still kill them after the misfortune subsided.
After thinking, Li Dazhuang took out the packet of wilting powder he had bought from the Containment Facility and handed it to the Misfortune Guardian, instructing it to find a way to get close to the Hellish Hunger Mushroom and sprinkle the powder onto it.
Being coated with this powder would cause it to shrink by half, with its life essence being drained. For this type of plant-like creature, the effect should be quite significant.
The three people, You Han and the others, who were attacking the Hellish Hunger Mushroom, saw the Misfortune Guardian and understood immediately. Having worked together for so long, they were very familiar with Li Dazhuang's abilities. As long as the Hellish Hunger Mushroom touched the Misfortune Guardian, the scales of victory would tip in their favor.
With a plan in place, the battle became much easier. Yan Xiu let out a roar, his entire body's white light merging into a massive axe. Lin Lu's leg muscles became more solid, and strange power flowed through her feet. You Han's skin turned slightly red. All three of them were about to unleash their strongest attacks on the Hellish Hunger Mushroom.
The Hellish Hunger Mushroom also sensed something amiss. Even though it was stronger than these three humans, it did not want to take their ultimate moves head-on. Therefore, retreating from the direction of the Misfortune Guardian was the best option.
So, the Hellish Hunger Mushroom charged towards the Misfortune Guardian and struck its head with a palm, shattering its upper body into dust with a single blow, making it impossible to reform for a short period.
After its body dissipated, the powder bag held in the Misfortune Guardian's hand flew out and got caught on the branch of a Bloodthirsty Vine that was transforming into a mushroom. The Hellish Hunger Mushroom paid it no mind.
Seeing the Misfortune Guardian dispersed, Li Dazhuang's face paled slightly, but his expression was one of excitement.
As long as it touched the Hellish Hunger Mushroom's skin, misfortune would be inflicted. This ability was still effective even against disaster-level monsters.
Afflicted with misfortune, the Hellish Hunger Mushroom's successive attacks failed due to accidents. It also took the full force of Yan Xiu and the other two's ultimate moves, its body becoming battered and bruised, on the verge of defeat.
But just then, those Bloodthirsty Vines had successfully transformed into Bloodthirsty Mushrooms. At a glance, these mushrooms still resembled Bloodthirsty Vines, but if one looked closely, they could see that the thorny vines had turned into flexible and powerful hyphae.
These Bloodthirsty Mushrooms coiled around the Hellish Hunger Mushroom, protecting it. Yan Xiu and the other two's attacks could no longer reach the Hellish Hunger Mushroom's body.
The Hellish Hunger Mushroom salivated at the three of them, and the spores in its cap began to churn again. It intended to use its spores within the protection of these Bloodthirsty Mushrooms to shoot the enemies full of holes, then watch as mushrooms grew from their wounds, finally, in their terrified expressions, gradually devouring their flesh.
Special spores, like bullets, shot towards the three. The first wave of spores was barely blocked by the three, but they could not guarantee remaining unharmed under such an onslaught, and would eventually be hit.
However, one of the Hellish Hunger Mushroom's spores, unfortunately, hit the powder bag hanging on a Bloodthirsty Mushroom. The powder bag instantly burst, enveloping the surroundings with the entire packet of powder.
The Bloodthirsty Mushrooms surrounding the Hellish Hunger Mushroom, upon touching the powder, writhed in pain as if slugs touching salt, gradually losing moisture and turning into dry vines.
The Hellish Hunger Mushroom was massive, but it could only resist for a short while longer. Ultimately, it could not prevent the life essence from flowing out of its body. In just over ten seconds, it turned into a giant dried mushroom.
If it were an animal-shaped monster of the same level, it might have been able to resist a bit longer, but this powder was the nemesis of mushroom-like creatures.
Seeing that the Hellish Hunger Mushroom and the Bloodthirsty Mushrooms were dead, and nothing stood in the way of the four escaping from Green Source Middle School, Yan Xiu signaled to the other three. You Han immediately rushed to Li Dazhuang's side and carried him, while Lin Lu held Yan Xiu in a princess carry, and they quickly fled the scene.
When it came to running, Yan Xiu and Li Dazhuang were truly no match for the two women. Their physiques were undeniably those of weak men in front of them.
As they were about to run out of the school, a figure in a white tailcoat and a green top hat descended from the sky, blocking their path. Dr. Feng adjusted his hat and said, "Leaving without saying goodbye is not what a gentleman would do. To prevent you from going out and talking about me everywhere, it's better for you to stay here."
Yan Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Didn't you say you wouldn't hunt us if we defeated that mushroom man?"
Dr. Feng revealed a refined smile, "Please respect me. I am a bad person. Do you think bad people keep their promises?"
Yan Xiu was quite speechless at this answer. He had never met someone so frankly admitting to being a bad guy. However, this meant the situation had become even more dire.
A fierce look flashed in Yan Xiu's eyes, "It seems I must advance here, or all four of us will die here."
Dr. Feng's strength was unfathomable, but undoubtedly much, much stronger than the Hellish Hunger Mushroom. Without the strength of the Assimilation realm, fighting this guy would likely result in instant death.
But just as he made up his mind, a roar echoed from afar.
"Feng Rao, I've finally found you!"
Following that, a massive metal axe entwined with chains violently swung towards the spot where Dr. Feng stood. The ground for more than ten meters in front of the axe blade was cut open like tofu. The one holding the axe was a tall figure clad in full armor, staring intently at Dr. Feng, his state bordering on madness.
"I can't believe I'm seeing you again. I'm going to kill you!"
Dr. Feng flew into the air, clutching his arm. Slightly greenish blood flowed from his arm. He had dodged a little slower just then, sustaining some damage.
"Why is this troublesome fellow here? Wasn't he working as a cook now?"
