Chapter 1587: Chapter 1587
(Wait for modification) His real target was the governnt player who had not yet escaped, but before he could act, a cold light swept across from the side!
The pursuing player hurriedly sidestepped to dodge, and raised his hand to release dozens of cowhair needles from his sleeve.
The air barrier couldn’t be used temporarily, so Xu Huo simply put and retrieved the Shelter 101 in front of him, using "Extre Fatigue" and "Progress Bar Disappearance" simultaneously while attacking.
That player imdiately felt the effects of the prop on his body. With a press on his cuff, the clothes he was wearing opened and closed like scales; as the colors of his attire changed once and returned to normal, no trace of fatigue could be seen on his face!
Yan Jiayu and the Stone Lion ca to assist, and the lazy Da Mao received a hit on the butt, instantly pouring all his anger onto the pursuing player. Under the assault of biting and tearing, the person retreated step by step.
"Vase’s effect!" The pursuing player threw a mat on the ground, and in the flurry, Da Mao’s foot slipped onto it, pinning a paw to the ground.
However, it was of little use; the violent Stone Lion simply dug a hole in the ground. Unable to leave the mat, it could carry the floor slab and run.
Da Mao was difficult to deal with, and Xu Huo and Yan Jiayu were not to be outdone either. Yan Jiayu engaged in close combat while Xu Huo assisted with props from the side and occasionally launched surprise attacks. After three minutes of combat, both sides were damaged.

Xu Huo and Chi Xian exchanged glances, neither willing to get involved in the chaos, so they skirted around the seven people.
Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, they crossed paths again; it seed the group wanted to head in the sa direction.
The person they captured was being controlled by a prop to lead the way. Upon seeing them again, he suddenly rushed forward and knelt in front of Xu Huo and the other, weeping and pleading as if begging for rescue.
The young man with sunglasses lifted his head slightly.
Chi Xian imdiately said, "You guys go ahead."
The young man with sunglasses was pleased with their tactfulness. With a glance to the side, the scarred glasses companion repeatedly zapped the toxic person until he collapsed and wet himself.
After teaching him a lesson, the young man with sunglasses continued on the way.
"Should we switch directions?" Chi Xian suggested, "I feel going with them might bring trouble."
Xu Huo didn’t mind; he was looking for a place similar to the Clown City Mycetoma. On the way here, he collected so soil, tree bark, and leaves in potion bottles; the King Fungus Mycelium quickly perished with the toxic fungi, making even short survival difficult, let alone reproduction.
The King Fungus was born in underground caves and thrived clinging to the Nüwa Stone; he speculated a special mineral environnt might be necessary. However, digging one or two ters into this rainforest revealed only soil, and rocky environnts were hard to find.
Yet, there were indeed fungi growing near rocks here, as he had seen in records.
He asked Chi Xian about this issue. After thorough recollection and search, Chi Xian found so traces of related fungi, "There are few fungi that can grow in rocky environnts, and most are of little value."
He subtly implied that searching for such fungi was not worth Xu Huo’s ti.
Xu Huo nodded in agreent and said imdiately, "Thanks for pointing
in the right direction. We’ll part ways here."
Chi Xian paused. Upon seeing Xu Huo actually turn and leave, he couldn’t help but raise his voice, "Hey, weren’t we going along the sa path?"
"I won’t hold you up." Xu Huo waved his hand with his back to him, disappearing into the dense forest the next second.
Chi Xian clicked his tongue, turned, and followed the floating jellyfish.
Xu Huo headed in one direction, crossing the rainforest as quickly as possible, finally finding a rocky layer not far from a lake. As Chi Xian ntioned, only a few mutant fungi grew on rocks, making the area around the lake exceptionally clean.
After surveying the surroundings, he walked upstream along a river that flowed into the lake, eventually finding a cave near a small hill, which appeared naturally ford from the outside.
Standing at the cave’s entrance, he didn’t go in. Instead, he circled to the side, releasing Excavator 114 to open a passage slanting downward.
After digging over ten ters down, Xu Huo stopped. The rock layer was only a thin stone wall away from the cavern’s inside. Gently, he used the Black Blade to cut it open, unexpectedly revealing a layer of white eggshell underneath, within which curled a lizard-like mutant beast with especially large claws and teeth.
Without going in, he could see the cavern’s situation clearly. The opening was piled with several layers of such unborn mutant beasts, while a large and a small lizard beast road further in, probably startled by the digging. However, the pile of young beasts hindered them from approaching.
Not lingering, Xu Huo retreated, returning to the water’s edge. Just as he was about to continue upstream, he discovered another trap similar to the one at the cave entrance.
Along the river and lake, nurous such underground traps were set.
Near a water source, they were obviously ant for animal capture, as players had no necessity to approach water.
The abundance of traps indicated a significant human population residing nearby.
Not planning to enter the instance, Xu Huo could only move in the opposite direction. But before long, faint cries for help emanated from the forest.
The voice was weak, and aware of mutant beast activity nearby, he montarily changed direction.
The trapped person was a young girl; her right leg and left shoulder were pierced through by iron rods in a trap, pinned such that she couldn’t move or fall, standing in a pit with just her head exposed above ground.
She was excessively bleeding, nearly unconscious. Sensing soone close, she only weakly opened her eyes, unable to utter a sound.
Xu Huo cut open the trap and pulled her out, first giving her a potion. When she regained so awareness, he removed the iron rod from her wound.
"Ah!" The young girl scread, the sparse fungal spots on her face perspiring profusely, her eyes rolling back twice nearly causing her to faint.
Xu Huo did not use a painkiller; he waited for her to recover a bit before saying, "I’m pulling the other one out now."
"No... no..." Terrified, the young girl instinctively recoiled, despite not moving, clearly indicating her stance, "The shoulder one... wait, I’m scared I’ll pass out if you pull it out..."
Per her request, Xu Huo paused, asking, "Why are you alone here? Where are your companions?"
The girl endured the pain to reply, "I sneaked out and got lost, stepping into a trap made by the town’s people. If it weren’t for you, I’d probably have died here... Thank you."
Xu Huo stood, looking down at her from above, "There’s actually a town in this cursed place?"
The girl nodded, "But not many people... You’re a player from another district, right? Can you take
ho? I can tell you about the town."
