Chapter 733: The Mushroom That Drills Into The Ground

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

On the other side, Lin Qiao and Bowwow were chasing behind the running mushroom along the river. Even after such a long time of running, the mushroom showed no sign of fatigue. Instead, it was still rushing swiftly, seeming like a shred of shadow.

“Owoooo…” Behind the mushroom, Bowwow had its mouth wide open, tongue swinging while following closely behind the mushroom.

While running, they saw a small hill which was covered in grasses, with no trees growing on it. Then, Lin Qiao saw the mushroom quickly leap onto the hill. Right after that, the zombie dog swiftly darted onto the hill as well.

Lin Qiao ran up to the hill behind the dog, then paused with surprise.

She saw Bowwow circling in a clearing around a small pit on the ground. The dog was howling, scratching the ground from time to time.

However, she didn’t see the mushroom.

“Eh? Where’s that running mushroom?” Lin Qiao quickly ran up to Bowwow and asked.

“Owo! Wowo!” Bowwow sat down by the small pit as it raised its head and barked at her, then turned to bark at the pit.

Lin Qiao was a little confused. She observed the small pit and found that the soil in the pit was freshly turned, as if someone had dug into it just now. The pit was not large, only about a meter in diameter.

She raised her head and looked around, finding the mushroom’s vibe to have disappeared.

“It’s gone?” Lin Qiao sniffed around and asked confusedly.

“Owowow!” Bowwow was holding a different opinion. The dog barked with excitement, then started digging that pit with its forepaws again.

Seeing the dog’s movement, Lin Qiao paused briefly, then suddenly had a guess.

“You’re not trying to tell me that it has drilled into the ground, are you?” Lin Qiao said that out loud with a weird expression. That sounded very strange!

She looked at Bowwow silently, then at that pit.

What the hell! She had run so far to chase the mushroom! The mushroom made her and Bowwow have such a long run, only to drill into the ground!

Lin Qiao stared at the pit unhappily. She had a very strong feeling that she was fooled by a running mushroom!

The mushroom was able to burrow into the ground, but it didn’t do that at first. Instead, it ran so far and then suddenly disappeared into the ground! It was running happily just now. Clearly, it was rather delighted!

Lin Qiao was so angry that her veins even bulged on her forehead.

Alright! She was fooled by a plant in the forest! She was fooled by a… plant…

“Bowwow, guard this area. It will come out at some point!” Lin Qiao clenched her teeth and laughed coldly, “How dare that mushroom fool me! I’ll catch it and cut it into slices, then fry it and make it into a soup!”

After saying that, she immediately turned to search for the traces of that mushroom. It had just drilled into the ground, so she assumed that it wouldn’t come back out any time soon.

Lin Qiao turned and entered the space, showing up inside the woods in her space. Once in, she saw Black who had coiled its body into a bowknot. Squatting on a tree, she felt a little speechless.

“Oi, can you please tell me how you managed to tie yourself into a bowknot?” She lowered her head and asked Black, who was still twisting its body.

At that moment, Black had twisted itself into a knot. Two parts of its body were seen on both sides of the knot, one longer and one shorter, making it look very much like a giant black bowknot. Its head was swaying in the middle of the knot.

Lin Qiao looked at Black in a very strange way. The snake didn’t seem as cold and fierce as it usually was, but looked confused and… intoxicated.

‘So weird! Why does it look so intoxicated? It’s clearly high!’

With a weird look on her face, Lin Qiao observed Black’s expression and its eyes, then its highly twisted body. The snake was obviously poisoned by the bloody mushroom.

The poison did not seem to be harmful for Black though. It had only put its mind into a strange state.

Lin Qiao recalled the big rat that she saw at first. It looked as muddle-headed as Black right now. As a result, the rat unwittingly entered the mushroom’s territory and ended up being eaten.

Looking at Black who had now turned itself into a huge ball, Lin Qiao sighed. She didn’t know when the poison would be worn out.

She wasn’t worried that the poison might bring some side effects. After all, both Black’s power level and body condition had been improved. However, she couldn’t let the snake keep twisting itself, could she?

While thinking, Lin Qiao turned and leaped off the tree, then glanced at Black who was still wringing itself with its eyes narrowed. Then, she walked toward the lake. On her way to the lake, she conveniently picked a bucket to fetch water. Soon, she returned with some water and put the bucket on the clearing about three meters away from the snake.

Black was twisting the entire time, but never moved an inch.

How was she supposed to make the snake drink the water?

Lin Qiao stood before Black as she put a hand on her chin while thinking. Based on the snake’s current behavior, it probably wouldn’t drink the water by itself, not even if she put the water by its mouth.

So, she had no choice but to pour the water into the snake’s mouth. To do that, she needed to fix its head and open its mouth, or it might bite her.

At that moment, Black was swinging its head from left to right, up and down. It first raised its head high, then lowered its head and put it under its body. It didn’t even know what it was doing.

Lin Qiao thought for a moment, then walked out of the woods and yelled at the few houses, “Keng-keng, Xia Ri, you guys… come over here!”

Once her voice faded, the group of zombies flashed out of the houses and showed up before her.

“Get in!” Lin Qiao turned and guided them into the woods back to Black. Pointing at Black who was still shaking its head, she said, “You guys, go and stop it from moving, then open its mouth. I need to pour some water into its mouth.”

While speaking, she glanced at the bucket of water which was still standing aside.

Keng-keng and the other zombies looked at each other. They didn’t understand what was going on, but followed Lin Qiao’s order. They went up promptly and pressed Black down, stopping it from struggling.

Black wasn’t angry when it was pressed down, but couldn’t stop swaying its head.

Xia Ri stood beside the snake and held its head as he expressionlessly watched the snake let out its forked tongue from time to time. Keng-keng stood by his side and forced open the snake’s mouth to expose its pair of sharp fangs.

Lin Qiao immediately turned and picked up the bucket. Then, she made two steps forward and quickly poured the water into the snake’s mouth.
