Shota’s Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 530 Dungeon exploration (10)

?Everyone that saw the wrath of this mushroom zombie couldn’t help being shocked by the power of this mushroom zombie.

This mushroom zombie was much stronger than any of them had expected.

Not to mention, there were still a bunch of mushroom monster corpses that were still lying there on the ground.

If they could all become zombies that were just as strong as this one…it was easy to imagine how helpful they would be.

I also didn’t expect the mushroom zombie to be this powerful, but I was very happy to see that they still had this power.

If I sent the mushroom zombies forward, wouldn’t it be the perfect way to deal with a wave of endless rats?

I never thought that there would be such a good blessing in disguise like this.

So without any hesitation, I started using the Orb of the Dead on the rest of the mushroom monster corpses.

In no time at all, there were over fifty different mushroom zombies that were gathered there in front of me.

There would have been more, but we had to use fire to deal with the mushroom monsters in the center of their formation. The fire had completely burnt those mushroom monsters to ashes, so there wasn’t even a corpse left for me to use as a zombie.

Still, being able to get fifty of them was already good enough.

It was fine just seeing one of them, but seeing this group of them standing there like this made the adventurers and mercenaries take a wary step back. Even the guards and knights couldn’t help revealing unstable looks on their faces seeing these mushroom zombies, but they were at least able to remain still thanks to their military discipline.

Once it was done, I was surprised by how little mana that it actually took to animate all of these mushroom zombies.

Just a single mana potion was enough for me to recover all of the mana that I had spent just now.

So it wasn’t a problem for us to keep going right away.

“Spread out and surround us.”

When the adventurers and mercenaries heard this, they couldn’t help looking at me in shock. But then they were terrified to see that the mushroom zombies had already started moving to surround their entire formation.

They all looked at Cecilia as if they were complaining about this, but Cecilia didn’t help them at all.

That was because she could see the strategic value of this.

This was clearly so that if anything happened, the mushroom zombies would be the first ones that would be hit. It didn’t matter which direction this happened in since the mushroom zombies would be spread out in every direction.

The only difference in views was that she had full faith in these mushroom zombies unlike the adventurers who saw them as a dangerous element.

The adventurers were scared that if something happened to Count Zwein, the mushroom zombies would lose control and attack them.

But Cecilia had complete faith in Count Zwein, so there was nothing that she was worried about.

Seeing that no one would be speaking up for them, the adventurers and mercenaries had no choice but to accept this.

Though most of them made sure to maintain some distance with these mushroom zombies just in case anything happened.

With this formation, we started moving forward again after resting up.

Of course, there were also a few more zombies that I had made along the way.

The slimes that had been defeated by the first mushroom zombies could also be turned into zombies.

The adventurers and mercenaries didn’t want these corpses since there were mushrooms that were growing out of them.

It wasn’t just that they didn’t want them out of fear of the mushrooms, it was because the mushrooms were inserted in a strange way that they didn’t know how to butcher them anymore. They didn’t know if they would even be able to get anything good out of these corpses, so they didn’t bother with them.

So now we had several slimes that had mushrooms growing out of them bouncing along with us.

At the very least, it was a good way of telling them apart from the other slimes that attacked us.

But one thing that I was cautious of was whether the mushroom zombies would run out of spores eventually.

These undead mushroom monsters were still creating spores that sprouted mushrooms that were alive.

So that meant that the spores should still be alive.

Did that mean that they were just using spores that were left over from when they were still alive?

Would they eventually run out of spores?

This was not something that I could be certain about, so I made sure to hold back a bit when using these mushroom zombies. I wanted to make sure that we would have enough spores to deal with the rats in the end.

But since most of the monsters were afraid of the mushroom zombies in the first place, it really wasn’t much of a problem.

It was easy for us to deal with the ones that came by pretending like the mushroom zombies were about to shoot their spores and then having someone else attack while they were caught off guard.

The monsters weren’t as smart, so it was quite the effective tactic. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴoᴠel ꜰɪre.nᴇt

But there were a few that were just too tough for this, so I had the mushroom zombies use their spores in the end.

I wouldn’t make it harder for us just to be stingy since there were always other ways.

The way that we moved through the dungeon was much easier than before.

We didn’t even really need to fight the monsters since the zombies took care of most of them.

But as we were walking along, Cecilia suddenly raised her hand for our formation to stop.

When the formation stopped, the zombies also stopped since they had the order to move along with the formation.

Cecilia revealed a serious look and said to me, “This was where the rats came from last time.”

I gave a nod with a grim look on my face.
