Mushroom Lord in the Underground City-Chapter 301 - 293: Xiao Hai User Manual

At the very first moment he saw Xiao Hai appear, a fierce wind surged around Pine, directly lifting him and Gray away, flying into the distance.

Seeing the enemy about to escape, Xiao Hai wanted to first check if Norris had explosive scales.

"Xiao Hai!" Lin Jun hurriedly shouted through the fungal network, "Do you see the one flying in the sky? The one with horns on his forehead! Knock him down! Red Puki all you can eat! Plus a huge red! Shiny! Crystal!"

"Red shiny crystal! Huge!" Xiao Hai’s dragon eyes suddenly lit up!

"Yes, yes, a really big piece!" Lin Jun’s promise was extremely tempting.

Norris, who can’t run, and the red shiny crystal that can run, Xiao Hai’s smart brain only circled three times before weighing the pros and cons.

The dragon wings suddenly unfolded, stirring up a sky full of snow dust, transforming into a black lightning bolt, directly pouncing towards the two retreating figures in the air, leaving Norris coughing incessantly in the choking smoke and dust.

Once the smoke and dust slightly dispersed, Norris crawled over to Gida, whose head was kicked and blown up by Gray, lay down on Gida’s chest, and checked the condition of the yellow-covered book.

On the charred cover, a clear, edge-scorched fist imprint was embedded, but the book itself was unusually tough, neither damaged nor penetrated.

"Phew... still reliable, the elder..." Norris breathed a sigh of relief, tucked the book in securely, and turned back toward where Shou was knocked flying.

On the other side, seeing Xiao Hai rapidly approaching him, Pine quickly analyzed the current situation.

This Dragon Man showing up now indicates that the opponent has been holding back, probably having more tricks up their sleeve; staying longer would be unwise.

But if he wanted to run, the opponent was too fast.

Even if he left Gray behind, he couldn’t match the opponent’s speed.

Although unlikely, what if the opponent was merely fast?

Let’s try something first...

With that thought, he suddenly tossed Gray downward. At a height of over twenty meters, Gray wouldn’t get hurt from the fall!

Pine freed his left hand, quickly drawing out a short and delicate magic wand from within his robe!

At this moment, his right hand held the main magic wand, and his left hand the secondary magic wand, both shining with distinctly different magic glows!

A large fireball entwined with dazzling thunder rapidly formed in front of him!

The intertwining of thunder and fire gave it much greater speed than an ordinary fireball!

Under Pine’s mental lock, the fireball seemed to have eyes. Even as Xiao Hai urgently turned to the side, it was still fiercely brushed by the edge of the frenzied energy!

A deafening explosion blossomed in mid-air, black smoke and flames rolled, and Xiao Hai was blown back, rolling away.

However, after flying out just a few meters, Xiao Hai stabilized its form, its dragon wings flapped vigorously, the black smoke was torn apart by the airflow, and it accelerated once again, charging forward, with even greater momentum!

"Such strong defense!"

Pine rapidly descended. Though wind magic is flexible, against an opponent like the Dragon Man, it still seemed clumsy; airborne combat was too unfavorable for him.

As soon as he landed, Pine swiftly pointed his magic staff!

Several fierce water snakes composed of ice and water emerged from the permafrost cracks, entwining towards the charging Xiao Hai.

At the same time, the frozen ground rose, several pointed rock spears were shaped and shot towards Xiao Hai with a whistling sound.

[Title: Full-time Mage (Able to use all-element magic, shares magic level)]

This guy is quite a talent, not sure where he got such a title.

However, despite such a variety of means, Pine’s expression grew increasingly grim.

While he rapidly retreated utilizing the wind body technique to distance himself, he bombarded Xiao Hai with various tiers of low and mid-level spells as if raining them down, seemingly successfully kiting this fierce beast.

But he himself knew, these seemingly magnificent attacks were, for the most part, easily deflected by those deep dragon scales, hardly leaving any substantial marks!

To truly break through the defense, he would need to use high-tier magic that required a long time to guide and condense magic power!

But with this Black Dragon Man chasing his tail, he could hardly breathe, let alone have time to cast spells?

Not to mention those pesky Puki, continually emerging from surrounding holes, spewing acid, firing magic cannons, releasing toxic gas, and even attempting to self-destruct by hugging his legs!

Although individually the power was not great, it significantly disrupted his spellcasting rhythm and evasion space, irritating him to no end.

He could cast all-element spells, but his magic was limited, and continuing to be consumed was troublesome.

Pine continually thought about strategies while casually releasing several illusory clones.

Charging head-down fiercely, Xiao Hai suddenly stopped in its tracks, disoriented and turning around.

His [Magic Perception] could easily see through invisibility, but these clones were purely magical constructs, in perception, all were true magic sources!

Looking back and forth at six Pines, Xiao Hai recalled the big boss said to knock him down for the red shiny crystal, and now, the red shiny crystal had turned into six!

Unfortunately, when she pounced on one of the clones, that Pine immediately dispersed.

Pine: !!!

Having found a way, Pine didn’t hesitate for a moment. More illusions appeared like bubbles, instantly dividing the battlefield into an area where truth and falsehood were indistinguishable.

At the same time, his two magic wands glowed, preparing two Tier Eight Magic spells—Light Prison and Thunder Spear!

One for binding, another for piercing—whether he could win depended on this move.

But Xiao Hai was completely unaware and was still spinning around in the pile of illusions.

"Xiao Hai, hit the one on your left!" A certain Green Mushroom decisively cheated and pointed out the only Pine with a panel.

Xiao Hai reacted swiftly, punching towards an illusion on his right with a whoosh!

"Damn... wrong side! It’s the other side! The other side!" Lin Jun’s voice was almost breaking.

It was only then that Xiao Hai realized, flicking his dragon wings with great power to sweep towards the real left.

Faced with this sudden blow, even though the spell was almost ready, Pine could only forcibly interrupt it.

The magic power of the two high-tier spells surged in his chest, feeling nauseous.

Coincidence? Luck?

More illusions surged out, and Pine mixed among them, enduring his discomfort to once again channel his magic, attempting to restart the spell.

"Xiao Hai, right in front of you, charge straight ahead!"

This time there was no way to get it wrong. Seeing the Dragon Man charging, Pine couldn’t understand why the guy who couldn’t even distinguish the lowest tier illusions at first could now accurately find him among over twenty illusions.

Was it possible that at the start, this Dragon Man was deliberately playing dumb to show him?!

No matter the truth, he could only interrupt his casting once more, retreating hastily!

However, on his retreat path, a few Pukis wielding blade whips fearlessly pounced, trying to block him.

"Get out of the way!" Pine angrily muttered, casually waving his magic wand as an electric arc swept towards the group of Pukis.

Two Pukis fell, emitting black smoke, and the arc continued to the third—

A layer of magic shield emerged from the third Puki, blocking the arc!

Knight Puki Number Three!

At super-close range, with the Crystal Symbiosis boost, 200% power Mushroom Cannon!

"TM..."

Even in this situation, Pine managed to use a shield to offset the Mushroom Cannon, but his backward movement was also interrupted.

The next moment, a dragon claw landed solidly on Pine’s chest!

Pine felt like he was hit by a flying iceberg, his whole body being swatted away like a broken ball!

Blood sprayed wildly, and if Gray hadn’t caught him in mid-air, he would have been rolling half-dead on the ground.

"Yuni’er! Block it!" Pine shouted, spitting blood.

"Useless!" Yuni’er cursed but flew over quickly nonetheless.

She had been pressing Xing Huo and Louisa, but wasted too much time at first clearing those blood-controlling Pukis.

Those fragile Pukis could be easily killed by finding an opportunity to wipe out several or even a dozen of them, and once they were dealt with, she could dominate the battlefield’s blood and easily crush the two opposing them.

She hadn’t expected that after killing one batch, more would come out of the ground holes, making it meaningless to clear them.

By the time she realized, Pine was already struggling to hold on.

The blood blades turned into blades under Yuni’er’s control, some piercing through the gaps in the scales, causing Xiao Hai slight harm.

The slight pain came, and Xiao Hai let out an angry low roar, turning around fiercely as the corrosive gray-black dragon breath instantly enveloped, eroded, and rebounded the blood blades towards Yuni’er!

On the other side, taking the moment of breathless pause Yuni’er had created, Pine once again created clones to confuse the line of sight, while the magic wand in his hand glowed with a pitch-black light!

A cold, chaotic, ominous aura suddenly spread out, enveloping the surroundings!

Tier Seven Abyss Magic—Transfer Gate!

Abyss Magic!

The familiar aura made Lin Jun instantly recognize this mysterious magic system!

That’s right, "Full Magic Level Sharing" naturally also includes Abyss Magic!

Although unsure of what magic the opponent intended to use, Lin Jun wasn’t planning to let him use it: "Xiao Hai, left front!"

The real target was in the right front, but to accommodate Xiao Hai’s intelligence, Lin Jun provided an optimized answer.

Xiao Hai roared, flapping his dragon wings without hesitation, rushing rapidly to the... left front!

Lin Jun: "￥%...&...（...!!!"
