The light source underground is gradually weakening.
The weakening of the light source means that the Fungal Mutant is hatching rapidly.
The shattered, grayish-white fruit will no longer emit light.
Chu He held the Riot Baton and slaughtered his way through.
The hatched Fungal Variants were continuously killed by him.
His Attack Power was also soaring rapidly.
It took nearly half an hour.
The underground light source disappeared completely; except for the firelight surrounding Chu He's body, other areas were in total darkness.
All the Fungal Variants died at his hands.
Chu He checked his Attributes.
His current Attack Power had reached five digits.
"This Attack Power is truly exaggerated!" Chu He exclaimed inwardly.
Unfortunately, his high Attack Power could only be maintained for six minutes.
After six minutes, the bonus time would end, and his Attack would drop back to a dozen or so points.
"Brother, are you really a Player who just promoted to Level E?"
Scarface walked to Chu He's side, his expression strange.
"Absolutely true."
"Do you think my attire looks like that of an old Player who knows the Level E game ten-second teleportation rule?" Chu He asked back with a smile.
Scarface's expression became somewhat awkward.
When the two first met, that was exactly how he had teased Chu He.
"Now that the Fungal Mutant has been killed, as long as we find a way out, we can leave here and successfully clear the game."
"But how are we going to return to the surface?" Scarface immediately changed the subject and asked.
"Don't you think something is missing if we just clear the game like this?" Chu He asked with a smile.
"You don't actually want to kill the Boss of this game, do you?"
"Do you know how strong a Level E Boss is?" Scarface said in horror.
"No matter how strong the Boss is, we still have to try, don't we?" Chu He licked his lips and said excitedly.
Scarface sighed and said no more.
After all, he was just someone tagging along for the ride; he had no right to speak.
Chu He looked around.
Suddenly, a ghastly white light shone in the darkness.
Chu He followed the light and saw that it was coming from the giant tree root blocking the street.
The tree root was covered in dense mycelium.
"Could this be the Boss?"
Scarface's expression became solemn and somewhat nervous.
But when he saw Chu He's excited look, his mouth twitched.
"Is this guy a madman?" Scarface muttered to himself.
"Don't move from here."
"Leave the rest to me!"
After saying that, Chu He walked over with the Riot Baton.
When he approached the tree root, the mycelium on it quickly condensed, turning into an old man wrapped in mycelium.
The old man's appearance was extremely eerie; his skin was covered in tiny mushrooms, and four arms formed from mycelium grew from his back.
【Fungal Source of Infection, Level E, HP 5000】
"Five thousand HP, is this the strength of a Level E Boss?"
"It has four or five times more HP than an F+ level Boss!" Chu He thought to himself.
If he didn't have the Attack Power bonus from the Decay Aura, he would likely have a very difficult time trying to kill this Fungal Source of Infection.
But now, Chu He grinned and charged straight at the opponent.
"He's crazy, he's really crazy!"
Seeing Chu He charge at the Fungal Source of Infection, Scarface's face changed greatly.
If Chu He died, he wouldn't be able to escape either.
In his view, the best method now was to escape.
As long as they found a way out and escaped Mycelium Town, they could successfully clear the game; there was no need to go head-to-head with the Boss.
But when he saw Chu He dodge the attacks of the four mycelium arms behind the Fungal Source of Infection, approach its body, and smash his club into its head, causing the latter's body to suddenly decay and melt into a mass of blackened mycelium, he was completely dumbfounded.
【Congratulations, successfully killed the Boss, Game Cleared】
Looking at the prompt in front of him, Scarface rubbed his eyes hard.
He doubted if he was dreaming.
This was a Level E game Boss!
Five thousand HP, and it was killed by Chu He in one hit?
This completely overturned his worldview.
First, the Fungal Variant's infection was ineffective against Chu He, and Chu He didn't fear the Fungal Variant's attacks, and now Chu He had killed the Boss in one hit?
His Status Ailment Resistance, Defense Power, and Attack Power were all so off the charts.
How could this be a Level E Player!
Even their Blood Alliance Leader, who was a Level D Player, couldn't reach this level.
If it weren't for the fact that high-level Players couldn't enter low-level games through any means other than non-designated support functions, he would have suspected that Chu He was a Level C or even higher-level Player who had entered this Level E game.
The shock Chu He brought him was simply too great.
At this moment, he saw two rays of light descend before him and Chu He.
The light that descended before him was silver-white.
And the light that descended before Chu He was a brilliant seven-colored light.
"S-level Score?"
"This is truly absurd!" Scarface looked at Chu He, his face full of shock.
Since he became a Player, he had only heard of one person who had received an S-level Score.
And now, he had witnessed Chu He receive an S-level Score with his own eyes; this truly opened his eyes.
At this time, Chu He looked at the game clearance summary in front of him, his expression somewhat strange.
【Congratulations, successfully killed the Boss, Game Cleared】
【Enemies killed in this round: 2153 Fungal Variants, 1 Fungal Source of Infection】
【Game Score: S】
【Game reward: Level E Diamond Treasure Chest】
【Game cleared, you may Return at any time.】
【Because your Evaluation in Mycelium Town reached S-level, the mist of Mycelium Town has dissipated permanently, and this game will no longer appear. Given your outstanding performance, you have obtained a Heart of Mist.】
This final prompt left him somewhat confused.
The mist of Mycelium Town dissipated permanently?
What does this mean?
Doesn't the Mist Game descend into reality, and after the game ends, everything within the Mist Game disappears?
Could it be...
Chu He suddenly thought of a possibility.
Perhaps in various parts of the world, certain areas have truly been eroded by the mist, and monsters have descended into reality and exist permanently.
And when Mist Game Players reach Level E, they will be teleported to these places eroded by the mist to play the game.
The purpose of the Mist Game is to have Players resolve these places eroded by the mist.
Chu He didn't know if his guess was correct.
After all, he had too little information right now.
If it really was as he thought, then who created the Mist Game?
Chu He couldn't figure it out, and he had no leads.
He took the obtained reward, the Heart of Mist, out of his backpack.
The Heart of Mist was a fist-sized, grayish-white heart-shaped stone.
【Item Name: Heart of Mist】
【Item Level: Unknown】
【Item Effect: Unknown】
【Item Notes: Unknown】
The Item Level, Effect, and Notes were all actually unknown.
This was the first time Chu He had encountered such an Item.
However, since he couldn't figure out the function of the Heart of Mist, he didn't waste any brain cells thinking about it too much.
Putting the Heart of Mist into his backpack, Chu He walked toward the Diamond Treasure Chest and opened it.
