Chapter 584 - 271: The Mushroom King Makes a Shocking Debut!

Since the misunderstanding with the Giant Ridge Beast was resolved, this timid and weak creature has been helping move the rebuilding materials for Daping Village with its massive size to make amends for its earlier destruction.

With its help, the mostly destroyed Daping Village returned to its original state in just a few days; the streets are even wider and the houses more solid than before.

The Village Chief even had it assist in the expansion of other facilities while launching a Giant Ridge Beast riding service.

Beastmasters get to ride on the back of the Giant Ridge Beast as it runs through the forest, needing only to pay a small service fee.

The Village Chief even turned the Giant Ridge Beast into a village icon, attracting Beastmasters from afar while gradually relieving its past psychological shadow through contact with humans.

But if it’s not the Giant Ridge Beast, what could it be?

An even larger Pet Beast?

Chen Yuan suddenly recalled Duoji mentioning the Mushroom King, his eyes narrowed as he looked at the latter, "Did you previously say that the Mushroom King would awaken today?"

"Mm-hmm." The sudden intense tremor made Duoji feel terrified and tense; he tightly held the Fluffy Mushroom in his arms, striving to stay calm, "Every time the Mushroom King wakes up, it gets really, really irritable."

"It only stops being angry after eating a lot, a whole lot until it’s completely full."

The case is solved; this giant tremor was definitely caused by the Mushroom King Duoji spoke of.

Li Junyue had never heard of any Pet Beast called "Mushroom King," the name sounding unserious, so he asked, "Do you know what kind of Pet Beast it is?"

"I don’t know." Duoji shook his head, then blinked, earnestly recalling, "I just remember it’s very, very big, about as big as a mountain."

After hearing this, Chen Yuan clearly felt the ground shaking more, he smiled slightly at the three, "Maybe it is indeed a giant Pet Beast, get ready for battle."

Without needing Chen Yuan to remind them, the qualified Beastmasters present had already prepared well for battle; the Ink Tree Spirit guarded Li Junyue’s side, the Ice Crystal Illusion Cat’s Spiritual Power Protection Shield enveloped everyone, and the Water Spirit Turtle stayed obediently behind.

Being one of the weakest Pet Beasts present, the Water Spirit Turtle was aware of its limits, knowing that if it doesn’t hold back the team, that’s already a success.

If so, it should obediently stay by the Beastmaster’s side instead of getting involved in overly intense battles.

Chang Yuhuan couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly, "I was born to be a photographer."

Saying that, she held her camera up, aiming at the direction of the giant sound.

A huge figure as grand as a small mountain quickly appeared, leaping from afar toward them.

Though seemingly impossibly massive, at least ten meters tall, it leaps high with a single bound, spanning dozens of meters in an instant, approaching everyone with astounding speed.

If one ignores its appearance, it resembles a giant toad magnified hundreds of times.

But as the creature entered everyone’s line of sight, Chen Yuan could see clearly, it was evidently a huge mushroom with thick limbs!

Its body was covered in green-grey bark-like scales, joints adorned with blood-red moss, and adorned with a crown of deep purple thorns, while its eyes resembled decaying amber.

Most notably, its front had split open into a massive, terrifying mouth.

Boom!

When the creature landed heavily on the ground, the immense impact caused the ground beneath to shatter like a spider web, sweeping a wave of purple toxins in every direction, withering all the flowers and grasses.

The shockwave blew a fierce gust in all directions, kicking up dust that flew everywhere.

Seeing the creature’s appearance, Cola silently took a step back but suddenly realized its cowardly action; hurriedly barking, its fur wildly dancing, "Woof woof woof!"

The big sister managed to defeat the Giant Ridge Beast, I can defeat this clumsy creature too!

Yet Cola quickly remembered the creature’s excessive jumping ability, quietly retracting its paws, deciding to first ascertain its weaknesses and flaws before fighting.

The master was right, combat can’t be reckless; one must know oneself and one’s enemy.

Chen Yuan didn’t notice Cola’s reaction, he frowned, observing the creature before him, a name popped into his mind.

Abyssal Giant Mushroom.

In the Beast Taming Knowledge section, this was one of the earliest disclosed Morning Star Quality Pet Beasts, leaving a profound impression on Chen Yuan.

The Abyssal Giant Mushroom with Wood Poison Attribute is naturally massive like a small mountain, yet not the giant Pet Beast he imagined.

That’s right; the chance of encountering a giant Pet Beast is extremely low, how could he be so lucky as to witness two in such a short time.

"Hold on, even Morning Star Quality Pet Beasts are quite rare," Chen Yuan muttered secretly.

Until now, the number of Morning Star Quality Pet Beasts he had seen was less than a handful, including Spark.

But as Spiritual Energy Revival continues to progress, Chen Yuan believes the number of Morning Star Quality Pet Beasts will increase, although it will never be rampant, to the extent of "Morning Stars less valuable than dogs, with Bright Moons everywhere."

Commanders advancing to Morning Star is exceptionally difficult, encountering restrictive conditions, while naturally occurring Morning Star Quality Pet Beasts are even rarer.

Thus, even far into the future, Morning Star Quality Pet Beasts will remain incredibly scarce, destined to be beyond the reach of ordinary Beastmasters.

Chen Yuan can even foresee that in the future, possessing a Morning Star Quality Pet Beast will be a dividing line between ordinary and outstanding Beastmasters.

According to records, due to the Abyssal Giant Mushroom’s excessively large size, its consumption far exceeds that of other Pet Beasts.
