Chapter 510: Chapter 511 Preparation_1

"I can’t handle anything that takes too much time, but if it’s something I can assist with on the fly, that would be fine."

Feng Yuan turned to the Rainbow Mushroom King and spoke, if it were just him alone, he wouldn’t mind checking what the Rainbow Mushroom King wanted to do, but at the moment Mo Li and the others were still there, and they all planned to try to save the tribespeople outside as much as possible.

The Agunas phantom swished its tail and said,

"This is related to your rescue mission."

"Oh?"

"It appears to be getting ready to evolve, although I don’t know if those people are aware of this, but as long as it succeeds in evolving..."

Stroking his chin, Feng Yuan murmured thoughtfully,

"With Rare Level strength? Legendary Level poisonous abilities, those guys probably can’t withstand it, and..."

"What do you guys think?"

Feng Yuan turned to look at Mo Li and the others, although he was somewhat interested, it wasn’t much; Mo Li thought for a moment and said,

"What do we need to do to help them?"

Seeing Feng Yuan looking at him, the Rainbow Mushroom King fell silent for a moment, looking at the Agunas phantom, which, after a while, translated,

"Once it begins trying to evolve, it won’t be able to protect them, and if the evolution fails, it hopes you can help take away the young Poison Mush."

"Blazing a trail ahead?"

Feng Yuan looked at the Rainbow Mushroom King in surprise, the latter nodded, and the Agunas phantom translated,

"It says, ’To trouble you once more, I’m truly sorry.’"

"It’s you after all, Big Mushroom."

Feng Yuan had guessed the other’s identity, after all, even if Spirit Beasts looked similar, in Feng Yuan’s eyes, the aura of their souls was different.

The other nodded and stared at Feng Yuan nervously; seeing the Big Mushroom’s nervous appearance, Feng Yuan said with some amusement,

"Alright, if something goes wrong, I’ll take care of them for a while."

"Is that really necessary?"

Guo Huai asked Feng Yuan doubtfully, in his view, the poisonous mist was so strong, having sealed the entire forest, even without it, there shouldn’t be any danger, as the poisonous mist was a battlefield move, not something that required its presence to persist.

Feng Yuan glanced at Guo Huai and said,

"If we can make an exception to enter through the poisonous mist, do you think those people won’t be able to?"

"It’s just that they can’t disperse the poisonous mist to implement a war of attrition, but slipping in shouldn’t be much of an issue, after all, the Good Level Poison Mush have at most Elite Level toxicity, exempting it isn’t particularly difficult."

Noticing Feng Yuan looking in her direction, Mo Li looked at Mo Ling and said,

"What do you think?"

"If... its evolution could save those people, I agree."

Seeing everyone’s gaze turning towards him, the Big Mushroom nodded, and Feng Yuan glanced at the people behind him and said,

"We need to go over and guard the Big Mushroom; make sure you don’t do anything that might be misunderstood."

Hua Yiyou hurriedly translated Feng Yuan’s words and also reassured the tribespeople, who, having been freed from mortal danger, were very grateful to Feng Yuan and his group, constantly nodding in understanding.

"I thought the poisonous mist would cover the entire area."

Upon reaching the dwelling place of the Poison Mush, Feng Yuan spoke with a smile on his face, the Agunas phantom swished its tail and said,

"Do you like to make your home noxious? Although they are Poison-type Spirit Beasts, the poisonous mist is not exactly beneficial for them either."

Yao Yin was holding a talisman not knowing what to do, Feng Yuan guessed she was probably setting up another formation, but considering that their current goal was to guard the Poison Mush and prevent the Rainbow Mushroom King from getting distracted during its evolution, Feng Yuan couldn’t be bothered with her and let her be.

After settling the tribespeople, Feng Yuan looked at the Big Mushroom and asked,

"What preparations need to be made next?"

The Big Mushroom shook its body at Feng Yuan, who stroked his chin in confusion and said,

"No need? But isn’t evolution supposed to have some conditions?"

The Big Mushroom nodded, the Agunas phantom communicated with the Big Mushroom for a while and then said,

"Do you remember its dream power?"

"You mean the ability to enter the Dream Domain? Could it be planning to try entering the Infinite Dreamscape next?"

Agunas’ phantom swished its tail and said,

"Exactly, it feels that relying solely on poison-type power is no longer sufficient to break through the limits of evolutionary requirements. If it can obtain the power of dreams, it has confidence in protecting its Tribe."

"To master a new power, huh... If this path succeeds, the strength of the Poison Mush Tribe could greatly increase..."

Seeing Guo Huai and the others seemed somewhat confused, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Actually, it’s quite simple. The evolution of Spirit Beasts is quite special, with no fixed evolutionary paths. As long as a pioneer successfully forges a new evolutionary path, the subsequent members of the same species will have an easier time evolving, not to mention gaining from the successful experience."

"However, developing a new evolutionary path is extremely difficult... For a species like Poison Mush with no precedents, it’s still manageable. For those like Water Faeries, it’s nearly impossible to even attempt."

"Why?"

Guo Huai didn’t quite understand. Feng Yuan spread his hands and said,

"Because of the rules. For each additional evolutionary path, the difficulty of developing new ones doubles, unless it’s natural evolution, which is a special case."

"Whenever the world has a need, some Spirit Beast will naturally evolve into a new evolutionary path."

"Tch! Talk about reality."

Guo Huai said irritably, and Feng Yuan replied with a wry smile,

"Can’t help it. Without restrictions, some Spirit Beasts might leverage their multiple evolutionary paths to continuously encroach on the living space of others, and in the end, we might only have that type of Spirit Beast left. Do you think that would be good?"

"That... probably won’t happen, right..."

Guo Huai spoke with a distant look in his eyes. Feng Yuan crossed his arms and looked at Guo Huai, saying,

"Anyway, I think it would. Without the rules’ limits, who knows how many evolutionary paths Water Faeries could have created."

"So, Poison Mush is planning to..."

"The power of dreams isn’t considered an attribute; it can at most enhance some psychokinetic powers. With this power, they could learn tricks related to entering dreams or inducing sleep."

"Put simply, before, Poison Mushes only had strong offensive attacks, which is poison-type power. If they encountered something highly resistant or even immune to poison, they’d be done for, unable to win. But with dream abilities, they can escape if they can’t win, since almost all moves related to dreams have some sort of control effect."

Guo Huai glanced at Feng Yuan and asked,

"What if there is resistance or immunity to both? What then?"

Feng Yuan, looking helplessly at Guo Huai, said,

"Must you argue with me? Dual resistances and immunities do exist, but they are absolutely rare. Xiao Ji, for instance, can exempt most control tricks, and things like weakening and poison effects are basically ineffective on it. But where will you find another Xiao Ji?"

Seeing Xiao Ji puffing out its chest proudly, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but chuckle as he poked Xiao Ji’s belly and said,

"But don’t get too cocky, even though your resistance is high, you are not completely unaffected. Plus, your own attack power isn’t great. Without using ’Coming of the Future,’ I bet the most you could do is make sure the enemy can’t hit you, and you can’t hit the enemy."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Xiao Ji looked up at him with a somewhat aggrieved expression. As Feng Yuan gently stroked Xiao Ji’s head, he said softly,

"Don’t be so anxious, okay? You’re going to evolve eventually, right? And then you’ll become stronger."

Feng Yuan was consoling Xiao Ji and didn’t notice that Little Green Snake beside him had overheard everything, its tail sweeping back and forth on the grass as if contemplating something important.

"I’m ready over here. How about you guys?"

As Yao Yin came back and saw Feng Yuan comforting Xiao Ji, she asked with a hint of confusion. Feng Yuan picked up Xiao Ji and looked at Yao Yin, saying,

"Asking me won’t help; it has to be ready. I can’t evolve in its place."

The Big Mushroom passing by swayed its body as if indicating it was not yet ready. Yao Yin looked around and asked,

"What about the others?"

Mo Li looked in one direction and said,

"I’ve just arranged for Guards to escort them to wait on the side, after all..."

"Better safe than sorry~"

Feng Yuan understood Mo Li’s concerns. If an enemy were to infiltrate their ranks and cause disruption at a critical moment, it would spell trouble. Fortunately, within the Poison Mush settlement, there was no pervasive poisonous mist and the space was quite large, so guiding those people to one side wasn’t an issue.
