Chapter 529 Dungeon exploration (9)
After reaching the line of mushroom monster corpses, I raised the Orb of the Dead in front of me.
Everyone looked at me with confused looks, except for Elsa and Moon who had dark looks on their faces.
It seemed like they could recognize the kind of magic that I was about to use.
Holding the Orb of the Dead up in front of me, there was this black energy that came from it that fell down into the mushroom monster corpse in front of me. This black energy quickly seeped into the mushroom monster corpse and in no time, it completely disappeared without a trace.
If one hadn't seen it, they wouldn't have known that it had been there.
But it didn't seem to have an effect on the mushroom monster corpse as it just laid there.
That was until there was movement that came from the mushroom monster corpse.
It was the stem of the mushroom that suddenly trembled.
This stem moved a bit before helping the mushroom monster stand up.
When they saw it stand up, everyone immediately raised their weapons as if they were prepared to attack. However, I just raised my hand for them to stop, though I didn't look back to see if they actually stopped.
The mushroom monster slowly stood up and turned around to face us, or rather it turned to face me.
It looked at me for a bit before suddenly bouncing forward towards me.
When Cecilia saw this, she immediately came forward to stand in front of me as if she was planning to risk her own body to stop the mushroom monster if it came to this.
But I grabbed her shoulder to stop her.
I looked at the mushroom monster and said, "Stop."
As soon as I said this, the mushroom monster stopped moving and just waited there as?if it was waiting for my order.
When this demonstration was given, everyone was shocked.
They looked at me before looking at the mushroom monster and then looking back at me.
However, before Cecilia could say anything else, there was a commotion that came from the distance.
We all turned to see that there were some slimes that were bouncing in our direction.
Since the monsters had delivered themselves to our doorstep, then I wouldn't say no.
It would be a chance to demonstrate the power of the zombies.
So I said to the mushroom zombie, "Go and take down those slimes."
The mushroom zombie bounced up and down once as if it was nodding in agreement before bouncing forward towards the slimes.
The slimes didn't react at first to the mushroom zombie, but when it got closer, they suddenly stopped moving. After jiggling for a bit as if they were figuring out what was happening, the slimes suddenly turned and started bouncing off in the opposite direction.
It was as if they were running away from the mushroom zombie.
But they didn't get to run far as the mushroom zombie suddenly compressed its body on the ground. Then with a single bounce, it closed the gap between it and the slimes, landing right in between the slimes without any fear.
Even when the mushroom zombie appeared right beside them, the slimes didn't have any intentions of attacking.
They seemed like they were about to run off in different directions, as if they were going all out to avoid the mushroom zombie.
But once again, they didn't get that chance.
When the mushroom zombie landed, it suddenly compressed itself once more before uncompressing to release a cloud of spores around it.
When we saw the spores, all of us couldn't help taking a step back even though it was impossible for these spores to reach us all the way back here. That was just how much of a lasting impression those spores had left on us.
The spores coated these slimes and in no time at all, there were mushrooms that started sprouting on these slimes.
These mushrooms dug their roots deep into the slimes and we could see how they dug in with the transparent bodies of the slimes.
It seemed that they only dug down under the surface and didn't dig in deep into the body of the slime. That was most likely why I was able to scrape out all the roots without having to go too deep.
Once the mushrooms sprouted, the slimes immediately slowed down before collapsing on the ground.
With just a single attack, the mushroom zombie had taken out this group of slimes like it was nothing.
