Chapter 56 In one fell swoop

Option 11.1 61.1%, Option 27.8 [-]%, Option [-] [-]%.

……

【Option [-]】

[One more fight to get the treasure on the head of the giant fungus]

*Probability of injury, rest for 7 days

……

Is there a way to get that treasure?

Facing Zhuang Yusheng's question, Zheng Zhuo couldn't make a guarantee.

But he thinks it's worth trying.

The duo got solid items very early on, which allowed them to get through the second floor much faster than expected.With 56 days left until the end of the world, it would be a good choice to explore a little here.

"Let's go and have a look."

Zheng Zhuo nodded and waved his staff.The [Mage's Hand] holding the [Fear Edge] turned around, and slowly slid towards Zheng Zhuo's left hand with a faint blue light.

The direction of progress has changed, but the way of progress has not changed.The mushroom man and the toad ran around because of [Fear], Zheng Zhuo and Zhuang Yusheng easily reached the position quite close to the huge mushroom man.

"...so high."

As the two approached the giant mushroom man, the feeling of the giant mushroom man's size became more and more shocking.This fungus is as tall as a ten-story building, and it takes two people to raise their heads vigorously to see the folds under its cap.

Unlike the sensitive and aggressive Mouse King on the first floor of the dungeon, the giant mushroom man barely reacted to the arrival of Zheng Zhuo and Chu Huairen.It just slowly raised its feet, and then slowly put them down, stepping on the poisonous swamp, splashing huge water.Zheng Zhuo carefully adjusted his position, keeping a safe distance from it.Occasionally he could hear the wail of a toad when it stepped on it.

But Zheng Zhuo realized that the giant fungus had a way to detect them.

The evidence is that the giant mushrooms react when they get close to them: sometimes they move away, sometimes they walk up and try to trample them.

It's just that the giant fungus moves too slowly.They can easily dodge.And the mushroom man doesn't seem to get angry easily, and will soon give up the chase.

"The treasure is on top of its head."

During the tugging, Zheng Zhuo could no longer see the head of the giant fungus.However, on the way here, he had already seen it clearly: the treasure was hanging on the mushroom growing from the top of the cap on its head.

Next, is how to take down that treasure.

The easiest way to think of it is to sink the giant mushroom man back into the pool, and then run fast enough-fast enough to jump on its head before it even gets up.

This plan has no cost.Zheng Zhuo and Zhuang Yusheng immediately started to test. After a little trial, they found that it was not feasible: they had to be far away, and the giant mushroom would sink into the poisonous swamp.And neither of them had acceleration skills, so they had no time to approach it before it got up.

The next plan is...

"Attack it directly, will it throw off the treasure?"

Probably because the preliminary work was too smooth, Zhuang Yusheng began to propose more and more bold plans.

"I reject."

Zheng Zhuo directly denied this plan.Because as long as you think about it a little bit, you can see that it must be him who attracts the attention of the giant mushroom man.

They tried for a long time, and finally, after eliminating many uncertain factors, there was only one plan left in front of them.

Use the [Hand of Mage] scheme.

The specific content is that Zheng Zhuo climbed up the uneven high wall on the side of the second floor, until he climbed to the same height as the top of the fungus umbrella.Zhuang Yusheng used [Sneak] to attract the giant fungus below and brought it close to the high wall, and Zheng Zhuo used [Mage Hand] to remove the treasure.

From what I saw just now, the mushroom on which the treasure is hung is located on the edge of the canopy of the giant mushroom man.Standing on the high wall, Zheng Zhuo was really likely to be within 5 meters of the treasure.

And as long as you enter, you can take it off.

"...Climbing the wall again?"

Zheng Zhuo accepted the proposal.After the giant mushroom man moved a little distance, he began to climb the stone wall.

……

A month in the real world, no, a week ago, Zheng Zhuo would never have imagined that he would climb a stone wall of more than 30 meters with his bare hands in the future.

However, thanks to [Fireball] and [Mage Hand], climbing the rock wall became easier for him.

Zheng Zhuo first used [Fireball] to smash holes in the already uneven stone wall, then supported himself with [Mage Hand], and jumped up.

He went up little by little like this, and after a quarter of an hour, he reached the same height as the high platform when he entered the second floor.

"(treasure……)"

At this point, the swaying canopy of the giant mushroom man can already be seen clearly.He saw clearly what was the treasure hanging above the giant mushroom man's head.

That is a messenger bag.Some kind of metal was pinned to the satchel, so it reflected light in the dark room.

That's it!
Zheng Zhuo waved his hand to Zhuang Yusheng.Zhuang Yusheng, who had been hiding below early in the morning, made a "confirmation" gesture and left the hiding place without a sound.

He appeared in front of the giant fungus and ran back.After several efforts, the giant fungus began to slowly move towards Zheng Zhuo.

"(well.)"

Zheng Zhuo held his breath and waited.Slowly, slowly, the giant fungus approached, and Zheng Zhuo began to feel uncomfortable in his eyes, the air was pungent, and his exposed skin was itchy...

Followed by.

The mushroom cap came to Zheng Zhuo.

"(it is good!)"

It's now!Zheng Zhuo waved his staff, and the magic ring that had been prepared lighted up.

"[Hand of Mage], release!"

The faint blue [Mage Hand] appeared on the mushroom cap of the giant mushroom man!It grabbed the messenger bag.

however.

The mushroom man seems to have noticed something.It starts to move.

"Oops...distance..."

The limit of 5 meters is too extreme! [Mage's Hand] held the bag, but failed to remove the bag from the mushroom on the head of the giant fungus.

It was only pulling, pulling off a cylindrical paper tube stuffed on the side of the messenger bag.

then.

suddenly.

A deep sound wave resounded throughout the stone room.

"--what--"

Zheng Zhuo covered his ears hard.He had been driving [Appraisal], and at this moment, on the interface of the giant fungus, the skill of [Command Lv.1] flashed.

The poisonous swamp below suddenly made a sound of "gulu, gulu".

Zheng Zhuo looked down and saw mushroom caps of various sizes popping up densely at the place where he was standing.

It's Mushroom Man!Countless mushroom people gathered because of the giant mushroom man's [command].

Oops!Jump down now? 【Fireball】Can you dispel them successfully? [Hand of the Mage] can catch himself when he is about to hit the ground——

At this time.

Zheng Zhuo saw the [Slap Lv.3] of the huge mushroom man flashing again.

The mushroom cap of the giant fungus tilted sharply towards Zheng Zhuo, and he saw it raised an arm thicker than a giant tree.

Going to be hit!
If you don't jump down, you can only jump towards the head of the giant fungus!

However, there are all kinds of mushrooms growing on the head of the giant fungus!Those mushrooms emit dangerous spores, I don't know what effect it will have!It's definitely more dangerous to jump on top of a giant mushroom man... but maybe take the opportunity to take the messenger bag again?
No, safety is the most important thing...

But jumping down may not be safe either.

but……

In an instant, countless thoughts passed through Zheng Zhuo's mind.

What should I do?
