Spirit Guardian Summoning - Chapter 83 Corpse Fungus
After entering into the Sacred Land, Rainer felt as if he was in a different location, and even the air was flowing in a different direction, it was like both places were in separate dimensions!
The wood was very quiet, the typical insect noises could not be heard, it was as if the wood was lifeless, of course, although at first sight it seemed to be deserted, Rainer detected numerous life forms hidden throughout the area, these beasts had lived their entire lives in these woods and knew how to hide in order to hunt, there were not a few confident disciples who perished in this place.
Turning over his steps, Rainer discovered that there was no fog at all! This confirmed his hypothesis, the Sacred Land was in another dimension.
“The entrance will open after a week, so we must carry our badges or we won’t be able to find the way out…”
“I’d better hurry and go east!” Rainer said eager to find some juicy rewards.
“…?”
On his way, Rainer discovered that there was an area whose spiritual energy was superior to the surrounding areas, that could be a sign of a spiritual treasure!
Using his demonic sight as a guider, he followed the spiritual energy fluxes to a hollow tree.
The tree smelled a bit strange but that didn’t worry Rainer when he approached it to discover what was hidden inside.
After separating the cortex, a violet mushroom appeared in front of Rainer, the fungus shone faintly like polished steel and the spiritual energy that gathered around it indicated that it was not as simple as it seemed at first glance.
After removing the jade slip given to him by the Elder and checking the information within, Rainer discovered that he had found a corpse fungus!
These fungus grew surrounded by corpses and blood rich in spiritual energy, their uses were diverse but consuming the corpse fungus would allow you to develop a small immunity and resistance to poisons.
This fungus was a very precious resource in the Viper Sect, a sect specialized in poisons! Anyone who handled poisons had to be very careful to avoid being poisoned with their own poison, it would be a ridiculous death …
The peculiar thing about this finding was that there was no proper environment for the fungus to grow, since it needed a constant source of flesh and blood.
“…!”
A sudden killing intent iced Rainer’s neck as he dodged aside.
Crack!
A hole appeared in the tree trunk after being pierced by a sharp instrument.
The force after that shoot was enormous!
“If that had hit me…”
After raising his guard and drawing his weapon, Rainer looked around in search of the enemy but he was unable to find anything!
“This magical beast knows how to hide its presence and energy flux, the perfect killer to places like this…” Murmured Rainer trying to discover some clue that would reveal the aggressor’s position.
Glop
A drop of blood landed behind Rainer alerting him of his enemy’s presence.
Xiu!
Rainer used the movement he was most familiar with in long-distance fighting, spatial cutting!
Clang!
A semitransparent sword wave rushed through and cut branches and leaves until it hit something as hard as metal.
From a nearby tree, a small but muscular figure landed on the ground after the collision.
Although the leaves and dust hampered his vision, Rainer was able to see a brown ape carrying a beast’s corpse on his shoulders staring at Rainer as it shouted at him.
Blood still dripped from the body as the monkey stared at the hollow tree where the fungus grew.
“It seems that this monkey is the one who has been nurturing the fungus with corpses and fresh blood…. I don’t know the reason behind its actions, but this fungus is now mine!”Rainer said as his spatial energy circulated through all of his body’s meridians.
A second later, Rainer appeared behind the ape and stabbed it towards its neck!
Tsk!
The ape seemed to have very sharp instincts,when it saw that Rainer vanished, it used the corpse on its shoulders as a shield to block the attack to its neck.
“A first-rank magical beast should not be capable of such a thing.” Rainer thought as he prepared his next attack.
“It’s time to get serious, you’ll be the first one to experience my newly trained swordsmanship…”
An instant later, Rainer’s gaze became serious as his blade cut along the flow of the wind, no sound was produced as the blade landed on the ape’s arm.
The blade speed seemed slow at first like a spring breeze, but shortly after it attacked like a hurricane wind!
The ape had confidence in its fur’s hardness, several brats cried after being unable to break its defense and die in its hands, it thought Rainer would be like them and would cry as it killed him slowly.
“…!”
A sudden pain crossed the ape’s nervous system as his eyes witnessed a severed arm flying over its head.
The ape turned his gaze towards Rainer who whirled around it as if it were a sword dance,blade flashes were seen in the ape’s vision, but it was like a straw house trying to withstand a storm!Numerous cuts appeared in the ape’s body until he fell to the ground due to the blood loss.
From beginning to end, it was not able to see the edge of the blade!
Slash!
A clean cut severed the ape’s head from his body while Rainer were smiling, he was able to replicate some of the swordplay he learned from Jehako!
If the ape, who saw Rainer as a simple brat, could hear him, it would use all its strength to strangle him!
