C30 Heaven Fire Mushroom

When Lin Bei caught sight of the mushroom, his eyes sparkled with excitement, and a thrilled smile spread across his face.

He had found the Heaven Fire Mushroom!

Heaven Fire Mushroom

Quality: Silver

Type: Vegetation/Medicinal Herb

Effect: Used in pill refinement.

Description: A rare, low-level material found only in specific locations.

After inspecting the details of the Heaven Fire Mushroom, Lin Bei stepped forward eagerly. He then employed the Collecting Technique he had mastered since arriving in the Eon Realms.

"Harvesting the Heaven Fire Mushroom failed!"

"You have successfully harvested a Heaven Fire Mushroom!"

With just two attempts, he was triumphant!

In Lin Bei's hand was a mushroom, blazing like a tiny fire.

His face was a picture of barely contained elation—he had secured the Heaven Fire Mushroom at last!

"No time to lose," Lin Bei thought. "I need to scout the area for more Heaven Fire Mushrooms! They're exclusive to certain spots, so there's bound to be more around here. Plus, this zone is even more conducive to their growth than the higher-level regions. I'm sure to gather a substantial haul here!"

With the Heaven Fire Mushroom safely stowed, Lin Bei couldn't wait to delve deeper into the forest. And as expected, just a short distance in, he stumbled upon a swath of Heaven Fire Mushrooms at the edge of the flame-engulfed woods, glowing like a cluster of purple embers.

Lin Bei estimated there were at least two hundred of them.

"Fantastic! I'll harvest all these Heaven Fire Mushrooms and then head back for the refining process. This is going to be a bountiful haul!"

With a flicker of determination, Lin Bei charged towards the mushrooms, harvesting them with gusto.

"You have successfully harvested the Heaven Fire Mushroom!"

"Harvesting the Heaven Fire Mushroom failed!"

"You've successfully harvested the Heaven Fire Mushroom. Due to your exceptional luck, you've gained an additional one!"

The system notifications echoed one after another in the area channel. By the time Lin Bei pocketed the last Heaven Fire Mushroom, his backpack brimmed with 298 of them.

"This stash of Heaven Fire Mushrooms will keep me busy refining for quite some time! I'll call it a day for now. Tomorrow, once they've respawned, I'll return to gather more," Lin Bei decided.

With his backpack neatly packed, Lin Bei set off for Misty Village, ready to delve into the art of medicine refinement.

As he turned, a sudden sob pierced the air!

The cry, rising amidst the forest consumed by wild flames, was unnervingly eerie.

"What's that?"

Lin Bei's heart raced as he quickly looked toward the source of the sound.

There, he glimpsed a figure seated on the ground.

The pitiful weeping was emanating from this very figure!

Lin Bei's breath caught in his throat. Steeling himself, he moved closer to the figure!

He was certain no ordinary person could be in this jungle, which meant this figure was likely not human.

As Lin Bei drew near, the figure became much clearer. But before he could get a good look, it suddenly twisted its head to face him!

Their eyes met, and Lin Bei nearly suffocated!

The sight was horrifying!

It was a woman with a single eye, grotesquely ugly!

She resembled a paper doll, with skin that appeared thick, white, and eerily unnatural!

In that moment, she turned and gave Lin Bei a smile that sent shivers down his spine!

Description: She is an enigmatic woman lost within the Blazing Fire Forest. Her origins are unknown to her and a mystery to others. Perhaps her secrets could be uncovered by tearing away her skin. But dare you try? Those who have attempted are already dead.

Lin Bei's brow furrowed slightly.

Truth be told, in his past life, he had never heard of a Gold Lord residing in the Blazing Fire Forest.

What was happening now? How had he suddenly come across a Gold Lord?

As Lin Bei grappled with his confusion, the Lord Huamian rose from the ground.

Where there had been one crimson eye, now there were two!

Then, a raspy voice emerged from her jagged-toothed mouth, "Little man, have you come to take me away?"

Lin Bei inhaled deeply, forcing himself to stay calm.

Having faced much in his past life, Lin Bei was not about to be intimidated by a female ghost.

Lin Bei narrowed his eyes and asked with a cold smirk, "Yes, I do plan to take you sky-high!"

As Lin Bei's words hung in the air, a melodious laugh echoed, sending shivers down his spine. "Then bring it on! Let's soar to the skies together!"

With a slight shimmer, her figure vanished from sight!

"Huamian has targeted you and initiated Teleportation. She could reappear at any spot or corner. Stay alert!"

"Helpful hint: When Huamian attacks while teleporting, the damage converts to True Injury. Exercise caution!"

With the alert ringing in his ears, Lin Bei's gaze sharpened. Clutching the Blade of God, he decisively swept it behind him!

A fierce battle unfolded!

Suddenly, amidst the roaring flames, two silhouettes split apart!

-257!

"You've disrupted Huamian's Teleportation!"

Lin Bei's strike wasn't random; it was an informed guess based on his past life's experiences!

He had faced similar teleportation abilities before, and they all followed patterns!

Lin Bei had committed those patterns to memory!

"It's astonishing that you can predict my moves!"

Huamian's eerie voice rose again, "Impressive, you're quite formidable. Possessing you would greatly increase my chances of escaping this place!"

No sooner had she spoken than she lunged at Lin Bei once more!

Lin Bei quickly backpedaled with a Z-shaped Step.

He then evaded another of Huamian's assaults and repositioned himself behind her.

With a swift motion, Lin Bei brought down the Blazing Fire Blade, unleashing its fiery edge!

Huamian's body burst into flames!

The intense heat and devastating power were truly formidable, especially with the 100% fire bonus—it was incredibly potent!

"Humans are truly despicable creatures!"

"Whoever it is, they will pay the price!"

"I will exterminate you all!"

In agony, Huamian let out an enraged cry, her hands morphing into ten razor-sharp claws, swooping down on Lin Bei!

But Lin Bei caught a glimpse of something odd—Huamian's hands and facial skin seemed indistinguishable, both appearing wrinkled as if wrapped in a layer of paper.

Before he could examine further, the disheveled Huamian, brandishing her blade-like nails, was upon him in an instant!

Suddenly, Huamian's fingers came crashing down!

"Warning!"

"Huamian's Passive Ghost Possession is now active. In this phase, each hit will apply a Ghost Mark to you. Upon accumulating seven consecutive Ghost Marks, you will be possessed!"

As the alert sounded, Lin Bei was filled with dread. He hastily backed away, skillfully evading Huamian's onslaught.

Next, he summoned the Charm Rabbit.

A sultry Bunny Girl materialized from nowhere. As Huamian whipped her head around, the Bunny Girl instantly unleashed Charm Rabbit's Disdain!

A second later, Forceful Hatred landed a solid hit on Huamian!

Out of control, Huamian lunged at the Charm Rabbit!

Yet, without a word from Lin Bei, the Charm Rabbit intuitively knew its next move.

Employing Teleportation, the Charm Rabbit moved swiftly, leaving a trail of afterimages.

Huamian slammed into the five afterimages one after another, her strength severely diminished!

"Huamian has been struck by the Charm Rabbit's afterimages five times consecutively. The effect, reducing her defense by 85%, has fully stacked!"

Lin Bei grinned, brandishing the Blade of God as he dashed behind Huamian.

With a swift motion, he swung his blade, delivering a crushing blow to Huamian.

And with that, Huamian met her defeat.
