Chapter 1400: Chapter 676: Poisonous Fungus Fern! _2

Skill [Fern Spore Shell]: When using fern spores on a designated ally, the fern spores form a layer of armor on the ally’s body. The originally inward-growing thorns regenerate into fibrous armor plates when subjected to energy attacks, buffering the attacks and enhancing defense.

Skill [Spore Fog Luminescence]: Makes the released spore fog exhibit a certain luminescence effect, which can reveal the form of hidden targets nearby and mark these hidden targets with luminescent markers.

Skill [Fern Carpet Blessing]: When an ally on the fern carpet is attacked, the infinitely dividing fern carpet absorbs damage for the ally. When a clone created by this division dies from the attack, it restores energy to the ally’s plant-type beastmaster.

Exclusive Traits:

Fern’s Carpet: Rapidly divides and propagates large quantities of individuals around to form a carpet of ferns, increasing the speed of fern spore production.

Healing Fern Spore Liquid: Juice secreted by the spore fog and the main body combines to provide a potent healing effect for plant-type beastmasters, used to heal living organisms. (Using it on animal-type beastmasters will overdraw the biological potential of animal-type beastmasters, leading to irreversible consequences).

The abilities of the Poisonous Fungus Fern are considerable, enough to catch Fang Mu’s eye, possessing attack, stealth breaking, defense, healing, and support capabilities.

Such versatile beastmasters are very rare, but without sufficient resources to consume, contracting such a beastmaster can be a heavy burden for the contractor.

If not well nurtured, causing all five aspects to become mediocre, it could restrict the beastmaster in combat.

If it were not for the Epic Quality exclusive trait [Healing Fern Spore Liquid] of the Poisonous Fungus Fern, which inherently harms animal-type beastmasters during healing, it would later affect the core essence of the animal-type beastmasters like quenching thirst with poison.

With just the Poisonous Fungus Fern, Lu Ye should be very marketable among the younger generation teams.

The other beastmaster of Lu Ye, the Beast Controlled by Extraordinary Strength, lacks notable skills and exclusive traits.

It is a beastmaster that fights using brute strength and the spikes on its body.

Its skills and exclusive traits generally enhance the stamina and defense of the Beast Controlled by Extraordinary Strength, using this aggressive type beastmaster as a tank.

Battling Lu Ye gave Fang Mu a clear feeling that although Lu Ye’s beastmasters are strong, their nurturing isn’t as good.

It’s definitely worse compared to the opponents Fang Mu faces in the under-20 age group at the Diamond Rank.

This discrepancy is undoubtedly due to the lack of resources, which made Fang Mu directly realize the importance of resources for the growth of a beastmaster.

Facing Fang Mu, Lu Ye initially thought the two beastmasters he summoned would be trump cards, but in front of Fang Mu, they turned into known factors.

Fang Mu fully understood the capabilities of Lu Ye’s two beastmasters, and Secret Walker and the Undead King from the Nether Realm were restricted in this battle because of the abilities of the Poisonous Fungus Fern.

The Corpse Fragrance Poison Region deployed by the Undead King from the Nether Realm could not affect the fungi released by the Poisonous Fungus Fern.

These fungi could attach to the Corpse Fragrance Poison Region and block it, and Fang Mu couldn’t guarantee that these fungi wouldn’t absorb the corpse qi.

The invisibility effect of the Secret Walker was firmly grasped by the Poisonous Fungus Fern.

Fang Mu always felt that it was very coincidental to encounter a beastmaster that could counter him so effectively.

It seems that the person in charge of the Battle Hall in the Second World didn’t spare any efforts in selecting his opponents.

Since the Undead King from the Nether Realm and the Secret Walker could no longer be effective, there was no need for Fang Mu to summon these two beastmasters anymore.

Just like how the Poisonous Fungus Fern restrains the Undead King from the Nether Realm and the Secret Walker, Fang Mu also possessed dead creatures that could counter the Poisonous Fungus Fern.

With a gentle lift of his hand, the Corpse Fragrant Teaching Mother, dressed in the magnificent Funeral Robes, appeared in front of Fang Mu.

Unlike the Restrained Heart Maggot Girl with her bizarre and ferocious appearance, the Corpse Fragrant Teaching Mother was beautifully poised, with a kind gaze and a mocking smile.

She could be considered the highest beauty among all the dead creatures that Fang Mu possessed.

The Corpse Fragrant Teaching Mother let out a piercing screech, her aura of the dead surging violently, even her long hair standing on end as if in furious defiance!

Now the gentleness in the eyes of the Corpse Fragrant Teaching Mother turned completely vicious, the Corpse Fragrance Poison Region expanding from her as the epicenter.

The Corpse Fragrance Poison Region released by the Corpse Fragrant Teaching Mother differed from the Dead Qi released by the Undead King from the Nether Realm; her corpse fragrance fed on the living, and fungi, being a form of life, could be transformed into nourishment for the corpse fragrance.

These fungi, lacking the defensive capabilities of larger life forms under the invasion of the corpse fragrance, immediately became vessels for the corpse fragrance, releasing it in large amounts as they were decomposed by it.

Lu Ye was unaware of the capabilities of the Corpse Fragrant Teaching Mother and did not feel much sense of crisis, but his gaze towards Fang Mu turned strange.

What normal person would contract five Dead Creatures?

How much Life Elixir would one need to consume daily to cleanse their body from the Dead Qi released by five Dead Creatures?

At this moment, the audience in the stands repeatedly gasped in amazement at the sight of the Corpse Fragrant Teaching Mother summoned by Fang Mu.

“Can it be? Yan Luo actually has Guardian Beasts that weren’t summoned before! This Dead Creature looks too stunning! It almost resembles a human!”

“It seems this is probably a beast from the Corpse Hunter class; it’s indeed no simple feat to cultivate a Corpse Hunter beast to such a state!”

“Yan Luo didn’t summon those two previously seldom-summoned Dead Creatures but instead summoned this one, which likely has a strong restraining ability against plant-type beastmasters.”

Although the discussions in the stands couldn’t affect Fang Mu, they continuously disturbed Lu Ye’s mind.

At this moment, the Corpse Qi released by the Corpse Fragrant Teaching Mother officially collided with the poisonous fungus released by the Poisonous Fungus Fern through the Skill [Spore Fog].

This collision was like a spark meeting gasoline, the corpse fragrance using this spore fog to spread rapidly towards the distance.

Lu Ye then realized something was wrong; he couldn’t control Yan Luo as he had hoped but was instead manipulated by Yan Luo.

Somehow, his own Fungal Mist had enhanced the domain released by the new Dead Creature summoned by Yan Luo.

Though he realized something was amiss, Lu Ye still maintained excellent combat readiness, quickly using the Skill [Fern Spore Shell] to form a highly durable fungal Armor on the surface of his Beast Controlled by Extraordinary Strength Force.

In combat, the Poisonous Fungus Fern only played a supportive role; the Beast Controlled by Extraordinary Strength Force was the key to Lu Ye’s victory.

Before the corpse fragrance could reach the Beast Controlled by Extraordinary Strength Force, Lu Ye had already summoned his Destiny Guardian Beast.

Under the influence of his Destiny Guardian Beast, Lu Ye’s form melded into the Fern’s Carpet below, becoming part of it.

This bizarre event, following Fang Mu’s summoning of the Corpse Fragrant Teaching Mother, provoked another round of exclamations from the audience.

When Lu Ye summoned his Destiny Guardian Beast, Fang Mu already knew that this transformation was due to the Possession Skill in action by the Destiny Guardian Beast.

This Possession Skill allowed Lu Ye, as a Beast Master, to attach to his Guardian Beast like a Possession-type Guardian Beast, merging into one.

The advantage was that as long as this Guardian Beast was alive, Lu Ye could continue to survive.

However, this type of Destiny Guardian Beast also had negative effects–once merged, it would not be able to separate for a long period, thus limiting the Beast Master.

Finally, the corpse fragrance spread to the Beast Controlled by Extraordinary Strength Force, attaching to the beast’s surface like maggots on bone.

Protected by the Fibrous Fern Shell, the corpse fragrance was temporarily unable to invade the inner body of the Beast Controlled by Extraordinary Strength Force.

However, the Beast Controlled by Extraordinary Strength Force had already fiercely collided with the Fusion Tyrant, the two gigantic creatures beginning a fierce clashing.

In the confrontation, if any part of the Beast Controlled by Extraordinary Strength Force’s fungal Armor broke, the corpse fragrance would penetrate into the body of the Beast Controlled by Extraordinary Strength Force and start wreaking havoc.
