When Tomie and the others looked at Wu Xiangwang, they felt an indescribable crisis of death.
However, the feelings of the human adventurers such as Wang Xiao, Wu Xingyun, etc. who were watching nearby were completely different from those of Tomie and the others.
"Holy shit, did I just see that human adventurer eating Tomie's hair?! Can they destroy the 'Thing of Fear' like that?!"
"Yes, you read that right. I've already started to doubt my life, but what I want to know is why Tomie's hair can be turned into food once it's in his hands? It seems that those hairs have turned into glowing threads in the end??"
"Also, I overheard their conversation earlier. They said that the 'fearful things' we imagined seemed to be completely energy bodies. If they are completely energy bodies, putting aside their terrifying appearance... I have a bold idea..."
"What a coincidence... I also have a bold idea. But I can't quite accept it right now, so I need to prepare myself mentally."
The teams that chose to come to Nightmare on Elm Street in the middle of the night to carry out the "Brave Mission" and have not left yet are all adventurers who have a certain degree of confidence and assurance in their own abilities.
So after seeing Wu Xiangwang eat Tomie's hair with their own eyes, they quickly began to think about the possibility of "winning by eating". However, because they had just seen Wu Xiangwang eating hair, these people were still more or less uncertain.
However, Wang Xiao didn't need to wait and hesitate like other human adventurers. He could directly ask Wu Xiangwang: "What did the hair taste like when you ate it just now? Did you feel any discomfort after eating it? Is it your ability to turn the hair into glowing silk threads in your hands, or can everyone do it?"
Wu Xiangwang understood from the question that Wang Xiao already had some plans in mind, but unfortunately he was not sure whether this method was feasible.
"The ability to eat her hair and transform it into glowing energy threads is my own. If someone else cuts off Tomie's hair, those hair strands might not transform into energy threads. Either a new Tomie will be created, or there might be some negative effects after eating them?
But I think I can give it a try.”
Wu Xiangwang's eyes lit up with a hint of madness as he spoke of this, "Let's try to see if we can directly transform these 'fearful things' we imagined into energy that we can absorb.
After all, we've killed materialized 'horrors' before, and chopped off their heads or limbs. Their severed limbs lay on the ground for a few seconds before dissipating. This also proves that they aren't actually spooky in nature, but rather materialized energy bodies."
After listening to this, Wang Xiao was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Then we can do an experiment first."
As Wang Xiao spoke, he began to close his eyes and think of fear.
His expression when thinking was very serious and hard, but after a moment he opened his eyes and his expression was blank.
"...Sorry, I don't have a very vivid imagination. I tend to be more rational and realistic."
Wu Xiangwang rarely saw this financial maniac look so helpless, and he couldn't help but laugh: "So what do you want to imagine?"
Wang Xiao gave the answer: "A huge, terrifying, weird plant that can be eaten raw."
"I've been thinking a lot, but I guess it's not really 'fear', and I haven't been able to materialize it."
True fear doesn't require deliberate thought; it manifests itself as soon as you think about it. But can a "fear object" that you deliberately construct, with the specific intention of eating it raw, still be considered true fear?
Of course not. When Wang Xiao was thinking about it, he probably had no fear in his heart and was still holding the attitude of doing an experiment.
Wu Xiangwang felt that this kind of "fear" that was like a topic for an essay was not really scary enough. He was just thinking about finding a few materialized "horror things" from the streets to experiment with, when suddenly a huge, brightly colored mushroom appeared in the square of this haunted street.
Don’t forget each other: “????”
Wu Xiangwang looked at Wu Xingyun in shock. Wu Xingyun's expression was pale and apprehensive. "I wasn't thinking that on purpose... It's just that, aren't my mushrooms gradually changing color? I'm a little afraid that they'll turn poisonous and cause mental disorder or even death after eating them..."
So when Wang Xiao said this, Wu Xingyun's fear was aroused.
Wu Xingyun, who had come up with this giant, poisonous mushroom that could potentially cause insanity or even death, spoke with a look of guilt before adding, "This mushroom might be quite powerful... I...have run out of my supernatural powers."
Don’t forget each other: “.”
Before Wu Xiangwang could say anything, the huge poisonous mushroom began to spray poisonous mushroom buns.
Wang Xiao's face turned pale and he immediately shouted, "Everyone, stay away!"
Everyone else quickly retreated as far away from the huge bright red mushroom as possible, but some people were a step too slow and were forced to inhale the erupting mushroom spores.
So some people were jumping around on the spot like crazy, while some people were foaming at the mouth and fell to the ground.
Wu Xingyun's face turned pale.
He ran directly to a person foaming at the mouth, wanting to make sure that the person was not dead.
He checked the man's breath and found that it was indeed not completely gone, but the man's twitching body looked very scary.
"Wu Xingyun, come back quickly! These mushroom spores are too poisonous!"
Wu Xingyun gritted his teeth and quickly carried the foaming human adventurer on his back, his eyes red. He had to find a way, he had to find a way! He couldn't let these people die because of the mushrooms he imagined!
Wu Xiangwang did not leave when the giant red mushroom sprayed spores. He wanted to test Xiaoqiang's passive special talent skill [Immune to All Poisons].
Mushroom spores are a type of plant toxin that can be immune to all kinds of poisons, so he thinks he should be able to hold on.
Then, Wu Xiangwang really held on.
He wasn't poisoned, but he had a bit of a hallucinogenic feeling.
He saw a very magical exclusive mushroom man dance show that he had never seen on Earth after he inhaled the mushroom spores of this giant red mushroom.
Those little people were shining like elves, and except for the slight distortion and shaking of vision, it was fine.
At this time, the huge mushroom was still spraying spores, and soon a thin spore mist formed around the mushroom.
Anyone who sees this scene will be terrified and dare not come near here again.
If nothing unexpected happens, this poisonous and hallucinogenic big red mushroom imagined by Wu Xingyun will soon become another extremely difficult to deal with big weird plant in front of Nightmare on Elm Street.
Wu Xiangwang felt a little dizzy, but he still knew that the most important thing now was to get rid of this giant mushroom.
So Wu Xiaoqiang quickly came to the side of the huge red mushroom. He didn't need any weapons, his nails were the sharpest knives!
Phew!
The huge mushroom was easily chopped down by him.
But what made Wu Xiangwang frown was that even if he could cut off the giant mushroom from the root, the spores did not disappear, and even the mushroom itself did not disappear! It even seemed to be still spraying spores, as if it would not completely disappear until all the spores were sprayed out.
This is very troublesome.
However, it’s not particularly troublesome.
Wu Xiangwang has been grinding his teeth. If it doesn’t disappear, that’s fine. Just eat it and it will be fine!
Then Wu Xiaoqiang tore off a large piece of mushroom on the spot. The piece of mushroom did not change much after it was in his hand, except that the color became a little more transparent. Then when Wu Xiangwang put it in his mouth, he felt a taste similar to that of grilled mushrooms.
This one tastes pretty good too.
However, Wu Xiangwang looked up at the five-meter-tall, tree-like red mushroom, and then turned to look at Tomie who was gathered over there as if gloating. For the first time, he felt the sadness of having too much food to eat and feeling full just by looking at it.
How long will it take him to finish this?
At this moment, Wu Xiangwang suddenly heard hurried footsteps running towards this side.
Wu Xiangwang saw the pale-faced Wu Xingyun.
Before he could ask Wu Xingyun what he was going to do, he saw Wu Xingyun open his mouth and bite into his mushroom, chewing it in big mouthfuls, his eyes red and obviously very angry.
Eating this mushroom is like eating the flesh of an enemy.
Then, he remembered Wang Xiao's angry shout: "Wu Xingyun, are you crazy? Rushing in there and getting yourself killed?! You are different from Wangwang. Don't do anything stupid!"
The stupid thing obviously refers to eating mushrooms.
But Wu Xingyun had already finished it.
Wu Xiangwang frowned and pulled Wu Xingyun away, and took out the antidote from the snail shell backpack and wanted to feed it to Wu Xingyun.
But Wu Xingyun quickly dodged it with red eyes.
"I-let me do it myself! I can hold on."
He ate the fear mushrooms he had imagined. The mushrooms were now showing signs of poisoning and hallucination, but Wu Xingyun was just gasping for breath and had not died from foaming at the mouth, nor had he gone crazy and done anything to hurt himself or kill others.
Wu Xiangwang keenly sensed the violent fluctuations in the energy within Wu Xingyun's body. He seemed to be...awakening.
Wu Xingyun spent more than ten days exploring the secret rooms in the City Lord's Mansion of the City of Secret Rooms. By then, he had reached the level of a third-level psychic.
However, because his special ability is "mushroom", it is difficult to figure out the attributes and evolution direction of the ability, so his upgrade is simply an increase in the energy level in his body and an increase in the size or number of mushrooms he can summon.
Everyone noticed that the edge of his mushroom had turned red, but Wu Xingyun himself said that there was no special change.
Wu Xiangwang originally thought that it might be a change in luck, but now it seems that it might be a change in the properties of the mushroom.
At this time, Wu Xingyun had already plucked off three slices of mushroom and stuffed them into his mouth.
He didn't look very well, but he seemed to be getting better the more he ate.
It wasn't until he stuffed the fifth piece of mushroom into his mouth that the expression on Wu Xingyun's face suddenly changed.
He suddenly stretched out his hand and opened his palm, and a small red water mushroom appeared in his hand.
"Ganoderma lucidum mushroom!"
Wu Xingyun jumped up excitedly, then ran out quickly with the Ganoderma lucidum mushroom in his hand.
The adventurer outside who was foaming at the mouth was about to die. Wu Xingyun stuffed the Ganoderma lucidum mushroom into his mouth with trembling hands, and then looked at the man without blinking.
In the end, the adventurer managed to survive.
Then Wu Xiangwang had one more person to help him eat mushrooms.
No, there's a bunch more—
Wu Xingyun failed to upgrade, but awakened a new mushroom.
Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms can detoxify and replenish blood. The big red mushroom cannot kill Wu Xingyun, and he even ate it raw to replenish the energy in his body.
So Wu Xingyun first ate the strange red mushrooms to replenish the energy in his body, and then grew red Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms for the adventurers outside.
After that, these adventurers can take the Ganoderma lucidum mushroom and walk to the huge strange mushroom without being affected by the mushroom spores. They can also... squat next to it and eat the mushroom together.
"Hey, I told you today is my lucky day, so I get some free energy mushrooms, right?"
"Are there any fire-type esper out there who can roast some mushrooms? Mushrooms this big won't taste good if eaten raw!"
"It won't taste good if it's grilled. How about stewing chicken with mushrooms? Who has a pot? Let's set it up."
"Fuck, you guys are focusing on the wrong thing, aren't you? Isn't the point that the 'horrible thing' we materialized is actually edible, and that eating it actually replenishes your energy?!"
"Knowing this, if the things we fear from now on are edible plants...wouldn't we be able to level up quickly?"
Moreover, once you accept the setting that all the imagined weird things are energy-consuming and edible, you always feel that this city suddenly... becomes a little different.
Although the imagined weird things and monsters are still scary and cruel, but...well...right?
