The moment the old mushroom monster finished speaking, Luo Xiu made his move. With two withered arms, he instantly shattered the heads of the surrounding mushroom monsters into a bloody mist.
Before the mushroom monsters could react, Luo Xiu leaped forward, his figure flashing like a phantom, cutting through the flames, and before the elderly mushroom monster could react in shock, he reached the two fourth-tier mushroom monsters and threw a punch.
The two fourth-tier mushroom monsters' eyes blazed with crimson. They didn't know why their kin had suddenly gone berserk, but they were confident that they had no reason to lose in a two-on-one fight.
call out--
Their arms swept across the sky, their four blade-like arms bending freely, creating a flurry of afterimages as they slashed towards Luo Xiu's neck.
Facing the attack of the two mushroom monsters, Luo Xiu's punch, without dodging or evading, pierced through all four arms with a deafening roar and landed on the head of one of the mushroom monsters. The immense force shattered the head, which had a stiff smile on its face, into a cloud of bloody mist.
Just as Luo Xiu's fist was about to land on the next fourth-tier mushroom monster, the old mushroom monster finally realized what was happening.
The doubt in its eyes turned into rage, and it roared as it spewed out spore-like substances that hurtled towards Luo Xiu.
At the same time, its slender body leaped high into the air, and black magic circles appeared on its two arms, spewing out icy black magic power that enveloped its outstretched arms, as if transforming them into a pair of sharp whips, which howled when they were swung down.
The surrounding firelight was almost extinguished by the cold wind. Just as the terrifying arms were about to fall on Luo Xiu, Luo Xiu remained calm and launched a flying kick, landing like a phantom in front of the mushroom monster's chest, shattering it. Then, he forcefully twisted his fist as it fell, heading towards the mushroom monster's arms.
A terrifying collision resounded throughout the room. Amidst a series of booming sounds, Luo Xiu's figure, like a sharp sword cleaving through the flames, shattered the old mushroom monster's arm, which was enveloped in black magic, and arrived directly in front of the old mushroom monster.
Blood gushed from the old mushroom monster's arms, and even the crimson in its eyes trembled with fear.
"Pfft—"
A swarm of tiny, umbrella-shaped spores was sprayed out, obscuring Luo Xiu's vision.
This included not only the spores sprayed by the old mushroom monster, but also the spores sprayed by several other mushroom monsters around him. They dared not confront Luo Xiu's terrifying power head-on and tried to use this method to interfere with him.
Luo Xiu remained calm, raised his right hand, and magic power surged forth, instantly creating a howling wind!
The Hand of Creation: The Forging of All Things
The wind fanned the flames, and the flames that were almost extinguished rose into the air again. Luo Xiu stepped out amidst the blazing fire, like a true demon, and approached the aged mushroom monster.
With each step he took, large numbers of low-level mushroom monsters died beneath him.
Soon, he arrived in front of the fleeing old mushroom monster.
It must be said that the speed at which this old mushroom monster ran away was completely inconsistent with its age, far exceeding that of the other fourth-tier mushroom monsters that were also fleeing.
Originally, Luo Xiu's speed had only just reached the fourth level of the upper rank, and it would have taken some time to catch up. However, after Luo Xiu used the Weakness Technique, everything became much easier.
The aged mushroom monster felt a soreness spreading throughout its body, as if it were exhausted. Its pace slowed down, and Luo Xiu caught up with it.
"you--"
Before the old mushroom monster could finish speaking, Luo Xiu reached out and crushed its head.
Blood splattered all over the ground. Luo Xiu turned around lightly, stepping on the blood, his figure transforming into a giant scythe of death, frantically harvesting the mushroom monsters around him.
Soon, he caught up with and killed the remaining 4th-tier mushroom monsters one by one. Looking at the remaining 8 or 9 3rd-tier mushroom monsters around him, he stepped forward, ready to make his move.
In this battle, a total of 9 lower-tier fourth-level mushroom monsters were killed, 1 upper-tier fourth-level mushroom monster was killed, and 28 third-tier mushroom monsters were killed.
The points for the upper fourth rank and the lower fourth rank are the same, for a total of 780 points.
But suddenly, he seemed to sense something, and looked up at the ceiling. Something enormous was awakening from its slumber, and the entire building beneath his feet began to shake. Chandeliers fell from the ceiling, and rubble clattered everywhere.
Downstairs, the sounds of guests fleeing in all directions could be heard.
Is this a warning, an attempt to stop me here? Or is it a preparation to forcibly take action against myself?
Luo Xiu took a deep breath, glanced at the remaining eight or nine Tier 3 mushroom monsters, and turned to slowly walk towards the door.
The sounds of fleeing downstairs subsided, indicating that most of the people had probably escaped.
The shaking of the building gradually subsided, as if it were about to stop.
In the last second before stepping out the door, Luo Xiu grabbed the scattered fragments of the lamp crystal on the ground, threw them violently at the third-tier mushroom monster inside the door, and then turned and ran.
Damn it, you didn't warn me when I killed the level 4 mushroom monster, but now you're warning me? Nobody believes you, you're just bluffing.
Luo Xiu ran very fast. Besides testing the waters, he also had some intentional thoughts. The other party was at a critical stage. If he let the other party get through this critical stage safely, things would become unfavorable.
So he abandoned his usual caution and took a gamble.
With 780 points to increase his constitution, plus three bottles of fifth-tier potions from his teacher, and a Weakness spell, he was confident he wouldn't die.
Despite saying that, he increased his speed even further.
His plans changed; he had to tell his teacher that there was something big hidden in the casino.
The problem now is, how do we convince the teacher that these mushroom monsters are demons? A further question is, why is the teacher so certain that these mushroom monsters are not demons?
Chapter 181 Schup was drained dry
Luo Xiu's figure was like a shooting star skimming the ground. After throwing out the crystal shards, he rushed out the door at high speed, leaving a mess behind the black gate.
He ran while looking back, and behind him, the cubicle resembled a scene from hell.
Although the mushroom monster's body turned into filaments and disappeared after it died, the bloodstains and the putrid stench of the corpse remained.
It gleamed brightly in the intertwined flames, emitting a burnt smell.
The fire spread rapidly, burning everything in the compartment to the ground.
No one could have imagined that all the high-level mushroom monsters on the first floor of this gold-digging casino would be buried here. Even the old mushroom monster who had just died could not have foreseen this. Just a few dozen minutes ago, he had been envisioning the rise of his race and the future of leading humanity once again.
And now, he died with his dreams, completely vanished in the raging fire.
Boom——
Rumbling--
It was as if several deafening claps of thunder had exploded above the casino, causing the entire casino to shake violently.
Unlike the previous bluffing tremors, this one was incredibly violent. Even after Luo Xiu had run downstairs, he could still feel the booming sound in his ears gradually getting louder.
Did the person upstairs really get angry? Luo Xiu felt it shouldn't be. He had only killed eight or nine Tier 3 mushroom monsters when he left. Could he really have provoked the other party to abandon their crucial attack?
Although he felt the probability was very small, he didn't want to gamble. He increased his speed even more, leaving afterimages in the air, and pushed his escape speed to the limit.
Downstairs, a few gamblers who were addicted to gambling hadn't left after the previous tremors. They had originally hoped to get away with it and make some money after everyone else had fled, but now they were also running away.
Luo Xiu weaved past these people. He could sense something breaking through the second-floor ceiling and plunging downwards, its target clearly set on him.
bang——
A deafening voice rang out from above.
Is it coming? Luo Xiu focused his mind, and beams of healing white light continuously shone in his palm. He was casting a healing spell in advance and was ready to cast a weakening spell at any time.
His physique had been boosted to 1000, and the fifth-tier potion in his magic pocket was ready. He was not far from the gate, which would only take him a second or two at his speed.
bang——
The voice was getting closer and closer, as if it would appear in front of him at any moment.
Luo Xiu unleashed his full power and sprinted towards the main entrance on the first floor.
This time he's really going all out. He might have to go up against a fifth-tier opponent, but he's still somewhat confident. At worst, he can raise his physique to the fifth-tier level, which he has enough points for now.
However, a large difference in points might cause him to experience some physical problems, just like before, and he was prepared to take that risk.
bang -- bang -- bang --
Finally, at the last moment, he rushed out the door, and the sound in his ears disappeared instantly.
At this moment, many escaped gamblers stood on the sunlit plain. Their clothes were of various colors, forming a beautiful scene on the barren plain, like flowers blooming in the mud.
They kept an eye on the casino's movements and discussed among themselves what exactly was going on.
Someone asked the waiter who ran out, but the reply was not clear. For a moment, no one knew what was going on. All they saw was the towering building in front of them trembling, as if a huge creature was about to awaken.
Suddenly, they saw the shaking of the casino building stop again.
For a moment, no one dared to make a move, because this had happened before. Soon, the building's tremors became even more intense, and unidentified roars came from inside the building. Perhaps this time would be the same.
"Look!"
Someone with good eyesight shouted and pointed to the wall of the tall building. A black barrier rose from the bottom of the building and covered the entire structure.
Someone reached out and touched the barrier, finding it to be very hard, similar to a protective film.
"Waaah... Oh oh..."
Some of the slower gamblers were trapped inside the barrier. No matter how much they pounded on it, it was no use. The barrier was extremely sturdy, blocking out most of the sounds, and only some muffled noises could be heard.
"Damn it, I've been scammed."
Luo Xiu muttered to himself as he escaped outside the building.
The being upstairs wasn't really going to attack me. It seems he still doesn't want to give up on the most crucial stage; he just wanted to scare me away.
I never expected that I would actually fall for their trap.
Thinking about it now, the main reason is that the two sides are not equal in strength. The opponent can just use some noise to drive me back, while I have to gamble with more than a fifth-level potion.
Luo Xiu stretched out his hand and threw a punch with all his might, using over 700 points of strength. The barrier only trembled slightly without even cracking. Instead, his own hand was shaken and became numb.
"Wait, we'll get someone to blow your turtle shell to pieces."
Luo Xiu extended his middle finger and turned to leave.
According to the map drawn by Alger, after leaving the casino and heading east, you will find the legendary Bellflower Garden in Kanriel, where there is a path leading to the outer area.
It's easy to find your way east; even though the world has changed, the sun still rises in the east.
Luo Xiu strode off towards the east of the plain, only to unexpectedly see Huppert and Hathaway.
The two were heading east. Near the lisianthus garden, there seemed to be many houses belonging to nobles living in the inner city. They were probably on their way to Hathaway's house.
Hup's face seemed paler than when he was seen at the casino, while Hathaway's complexion was much rosier. She was still wearing a white cloak and had her arm around Hup's waist.
The moment Hathaway saw Luo Xiu, a look of wariness rose in her eyes, and she pulled Xiu Pu, whom she was holding, back a little.
Luo Xiu was puzzled, but then he realized that he was still in the form of a mushroom monster. No wonder everyone who saw him along the way had backed away. He must be the only mushroom monster who had escaped from the casino.
He didn't intend to explain, because things would only get more dangerous from here on out. It was good to keep Shup by Hathaway's side. Shup had been a great help when they entered the inner city, and now his mission was complete.
It's time for him to enjoy some good life.
As Luo Xiu prepared to leave, he was surprised to see that Hugh, who was being held in Hathaway's arms, was looking at him with a pleading gaze.
