Scarface did not say a word and immediately retreated.
He held a long blade in his right hand, remaining vigilant of his surroundings.
What he said just now was not a lie.
Being attacked by a Fungal Mutant would leave a strand of mycelium inside the body.
Depending on each Player's Status Ailment Resistance, the number of mycelium strands a Player can withstand varies.
His Status Ailment Resistance was a mere fifteen points; once he was attacked by a Fungal Mutant more than fifteen times, he would be transformed into a Fungal Mutant.
And he had just been attacked by a Fungal Mutant eleven times.
If he were attacked five more times, he would definitely be dead.
It was precisely for this reason that he dared not fight the Fungal Mutants now.
Once transformed into a Fungal Mutant, that would be equivalent to death.
"I wonder how he will deal with these Fungal Mutants."
After Scarface retreated to a distance, he watched the Fungal Mutants hatching from the white fruit approach Chu He, thinking to himself.
When the Fungal Mutants approached Chu He, he saw flames instantly ignite on the bodies of the Fungal Mutants.
Chu He took the opportunity to step back, putting distance between himself and the Fungal Mutants.
Two seconds later, the Fungal Mutants were instantly burned to death, turning into mycelium scattered all over the ground.
"The flames surrounding his body are a Passive Skill? Any enemy that approaches him gets burned?"
"And the damage is this high?" Scarface said in surprise.
He truly envied this skill of Chu He's.
After all, a Passive Skill with an Attack property is truly rare.
Seeing the Fungal Mutants being burned to death one after another, he could not help but sigh at how perverted it was.
Such a powerful Passive Skill, and with such high damage, it was truly absurd.
Over a hundred Fungal Mutants were easily killed by Chu He.
After killing these Fungal Mutants, under the skill effect of the Decay Aura, his Attack Power soared, even reaching over a thousand points.
Unfortunately, his Agility was a weakness.
Facing large-scale enemies, no matter how high his Attack was, it was difficult to be effective.
He could only rely on the Burning Aura to kill enemies.
"Brother, your skill is this powerful?"
"Are there really no flaws?"
Seeing Chu He finish off all the Fungal Mutants, Scarface said with a strange expression.
"Flaws?"
"There are some, but they don't affect me much."
"Alright, let's go." Chu He said indifferently.
Seeing Chu He walk forward, Scarface immediately followed.
Along the way, Fungal Mutants constantly hatched and launched attacks on them.
Every time a Fungal Mutant appeared, Scarface had to pay 500 Mist Coins as the price for Chu He to help him kill the Fungal Mutant that he should have killed himself.
Scarface felt a bit of heartache.
Even though he had quite a few Mist Coins, he could not afford such consumption.
When Chu He killed the tenth wave of Fungal Mutants that appeared, Scarface smiled bitterly, "Brother, I'm out of Mist Coins."
"Do you think you could..."
He did not finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.
Chu He glanced at him and smiled faintly, "If you're out of Mist Coins, you can use Equipment or Items to pay the debt."
"But don't worry, I am very fair."
"I will determine the value based on the Equipment and Items you provide, and then use them to replace the Mist Coins in exchange for me helping you deal with the Fungal Mutants."
"How about it? My proposal is very fair, right?"
Hearing this, Scarface wanted to continue speaking.
But the words reached his lips, and he swallowed them back.
If the situation were reversed, and he were asked to help kill the Fungal Mutants that Chu He was supposed to handle, he would not lift a finger if there were no benefits.
After all, he and Chu He were strangers; the two of them were only participating in this game by coincidence.
In this dangerous Mist Game, one might ask, which stranger would risk their life for someone else without any benefit?
Even if Chu He had the ability to clear the game alone, why should he bring him along to clear it?
As an E-rank Player, he was long past being one of those naive newcomers.
"Fine, let's do as you say." Scarface sighed and said helplessly.
"That's the spirit!" Chu He revealed a smile on his face and nodded slightly.
Having finally found such a big fat sheep, how could he not fleece him hard?
Five hundred Mist Coins for a single action was, in his view, a very cost-effective deal.
He was now actually hoping to encounter more Fungal Mutants.
This way, he could also obtain Equipment and Items from Scarface.
The two continued to move forward.
Now, the two were approaching the edge of the town.
If nothing unexpected happened, they might be able to leave this Mycelium Town before long.
By then, the game would be considered successfully cleared.
But an accident happened after all.
On the town's only main street, a huge tree suddenly appeared.
This tree was very strange; the trunk completely blocked the street. The trunk was over fifty meters high, but it was bare, without any leaves, only covered in a large amount of circling mycelium.
Seeing this tree covered in mycelium, Scarface, who had been full of smiles, suddenly froze in place.
He had been thinking that if he could just escape Mycelium Town and clear the game, he would not have to pay Equipment and Items as a reward in exchange for Chu He's help.
But now that the street was blocked, they had no choice but to take a detour.
And taking a detour meant they would encounter even more Fungal Mutants.
By then, he would have no choice but to give his own Equipment and Items to Chu He.
Thinking of this, his face immediately turned into a bitter gourd.
Chu He, on the other hand, was full of joy.
He glanced at Scarface and spread his hands, "Regrettable, it seems this game won't be cleared so easily; we have to take a detour."
Scarface's mouth twitched.
Could you not say the word "regrettable" while smiling?
He sighed and nodded slightly.
Chu He turned and walked toward an alleyway nearby.
As soon as the two entered the alley, the mycelium on the walls on both sides suddenly surged wildly, forming two walls of mycelium that blocked their path forward and backward.
"What's Going On?" Scarface was somewhat panicked.
Chu He saw the mycelium on the ground becoming active, and his face changed greatly.
"Watch out for the ground!" Chu He shouted loudly.
Scarface looked at the ground and saw the mycelium on the ground suddenly contract, and the ground shattered violently.
His body fell down along with it.
Chu He, who had been prepared, was ready when the ground collapsed and landed steadily.
The two fell underground.
Scarface let out a wail, climbed up from the ground, and looked up.
The originally shattered ground was covered by mycelium, cutting off any possibility of them jumping back up.
And even if the place where they fell hadn't been covered by mycelium, it would still be difficult to jump up.
They were six or seven meters away from the ground they had fallen from; it was impossible to jump up.
"Damn it!" Scarface cursed angrily in his heart.
"It seems we need to have a good talk about the price." Chu He suddenly spoke up.
"What?" Scarface looked at him.
Chu He pointed to the front.
Scarface looked over, and was immediately so frightened that he gasped, his face changing greatly.
