When Mark's feet were covered with white broken bones.
When the blue aurora of the ghost mushroom caused the bones to be pulled together and could no longer form a complete skeleton soldier.
Mark even jumped onto the top of the giant skeleton with a sense of unsatisfied desire, grabbed the cap of a ghost mushroom with his hand, and squeezed out a bunch of spores.
I want its light to continue to radiate and summon skeleton soldiers from further away.
Although he did not gain any professional experience from crushing these skeleton soldiers, the exhilarating feeling was really intoxicating!
However, even though the ghost mushroom in his hand continued to release blue aurora, not a single skeleton soldier stood up around him.
Instead, those phosphorescent spores let out sharp hissing sounds under the burning of the "holy light" magic on Mark's body.
The shapeless bone fragments on the ground, which were slowly wriggling under the influence of the blue aurora, also twitched and exploded along with the hissing sounds.
When the magic power provided by the cross to Mark dispelled all the blue light and spores around the giant skeleton, the location of a dark red crystal fragment in the giant skeleton was also exposed in the halo cast by the cross.
"Is this the magic crystal fragment that Monica mentioned?"
He caught a glimpse of the faint red edges beneath the skeleton's eye sockets, and his eyes moved slightly.
Judging from Monica's shout before he fell into the illusion, these dozen ghost mushrooms seemed to have absorbed the undead energy from the high-level magic crystal fragments in order to control these skeletons!
"Be careful with that magic crystal fragment, it has the ability to transform living things into undead creatures!"
Seeing that Mark was about to reach into the mud pit to take the magic crystal fragment without any defense, Monica, who had just recovered her magic power, had no choice but to speak out to stop him.
After all, Mark is not a true clergyman of the Holy Light Church, and Monica doesn't dare to let him come into direct contact with such things.
Maybe when Mark's special magic power is combined with the undead energy, it will transform into an even more difficult undead creature.
Mark withdrew his curious hand awkwardly.
Mark stopped, but Xiao Mu, who was always restless, had no concerns at all.
Previously, it had encountered various delicious magic crystals but was unable to absorb the energy contained in them, and could only lie on them and drool.
It is rare to see a broken high-level magic crystal emitting a very fragrant smell.
How could Xiao Mu possibly bear it?
Xiao Mu suddenly shot out from Monica's arms, wrapped his pink tentacles around the dark red crystal and pulled it hard.
Then, in front of the two people's gazes, he swallowed the crystal fragments into his stomach at lightning speed.
Then, everyone present could hear a sharp, tooth-grinding sound of glass scraping against each other.
“Squeak—squeak—!”
The high-level magic crystal fragments swallowed by Xiao Mu were wrapped in a ball of colorful black light in its pink belly, and quickly melted away at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Two small blue-gray magic runes slowly emerged on both sides of Xiao Mu's body.
When the crystal fragments in its stomach were completely digested, the two small magic runes also dissipated, leaving only two brand new blue-gray tufts.
But it is obviously much smaller than the other four black and white ones.
"Huh! My little Mumon evolved again!?"
Mark couldn't help but exclaim when he saw this, although he didn't know why Xiao Mu could eat anything.
But it seems that it can mutate positively no matter whether it eats good things or bad things.
If all slimes had the same characteristics as Xiao Mu, he would be able to roam the Holy Dragon Continent even if he was a summoner!
Mark squatted down and poked Xiao Mu's newly grown blue-gray hair. He could feel a cold touch on the hair at his fingertips:
"Come, show everyone a new trick."
"Hmm~"
As if he understood what Mark said, Xiao Mu also bounced twice excitedly.
It took a deep breath.
The pink body suddenly swelled up into a ball, making a muffled "puff~puff~" sound under the expectant gaze of Mark and Monica.
The peculiar stench of a rotting swamp was suddenly mixed with the stench of a decaying corpse.
The smoke startled Anna, who was still unconscious, and she sat up from the ground in shock. She covered her nose and took three steps back before bumping into a dead tree.
"Is this the power of transformed undead energy?" Monica used a dagger to pick apart the fallen leaves behind Xiao Mu, which had been corroded by the gas and had honeycombed holes. "It's similar to the acid of the swamp poisonous lizard."
“Mm—! Mm—!”
Little Mu jumped on the ground anxiously, splashing water from the swamp puddles everywhere.
One look at its expression showed that it was clearly arguing that Mu would never use such a move that would damage Mu's reputation!
As if to prove himself, Xiao Mu took another deep breath, wanting to use his new ability again.
Mark quickly stepped forward and hugged Xiao Mu, saying to him in comfort, "Alright, alright! I know you're amazing. We'll test your new abilities again when we have the chance. The most important thing now is to complete the mission!"
Mark also felt that it was impossible for his Xiao Mu to awaken such a bad skill.
But Monica couldn't identify Xiao Mu's true information, and Xiao Mu himself probably wouldn't understand the abilities he had acquired for a while.
It would be better to let Xiao Mu take it easy and not let the three-person team endure the torture of the stench.
After all, the Holy Light Shield can resist all kinds of damage and corrosion, but it cannot purify the air!
At least it can't purify the odor in the air molecules.
The three of them endured the stench around the giant skeleton and began to collect spores.
Every time the silver dagger scraped across the gills, the layers of spores that were supposed to dissipate and fly away seemed to become much heavier and fell into the crystal bottles prepared by the three people.
However, what made the three of them quite regretful was that they were eroded by Mark's "Holy Light" magic just now.
The spores that were originally enough for them to complete the mission in one go were turned into ashes in the "holy light".
In the end, only a small amount of spores remained active in the cracks between the umbrellas of most ghost mushrooms, and only the mushroom at the very edge that was not affected by the magic power contributed half a bottle of spores.
The spores collected by the three people combined were not enough to fill a bottle.
"Next time when you collect magical materials, please don't use the ability to release 'holy light' on a large scale, Mr. Mark."
When Anna stuffed the crystal bottle containing all the spores into the bag around her waist, the pointed ears under her cloak suddenly trembled.
She glanced obscurely at the miasma-filled woods behind her.
"I understand! I understand!"
Mark waved quietly to Anna and Monica.
[Holy Light Healing■] has planted the seeds of vampire roses for units that enter his territory.
Only one person!
This conflicted with their previous speculation that the enemy following them was a group of One-Eyed Pabbie's team.
The other party may have heard the sound of the battle that took place here before and came here to investigate.
Maybe the person who came was just a spy from the other side, so Mark thought it would be better not to alert the enemy.
