A different strategy

The group quickly ate the fire-roasted fish before climbing into the trees for safety.

In a few moments, several colored glow appears in the dark areas of the forest.

But a strange thing could be noticed, these lights were moving up and down before approaching the place.

It didn't take long for the appearances of these things to be revealed.

Devouring Mushrooms. The creatures' form was the same as the Devouring Mushrooms that spawn during the day, but with a few changes.

The head. Before, the head was white with several holes typical of a mushroom. The actual appearance of Devouring Mushrooms at night is slightly different because the color is blue with green stripes.

The way of locomotion was the same. They jump to the sides they are going to walk.

"Do you two have the energy to keep leveling?" Liu Yang asked excitedly. He was curious to fight the new creatures, even if it is in a somewhat unconventional way.

"No. Liu Yang, I'm still tired after fighting those three idiots. I need to rest for a few hours before doing this." Sun Bai was already exhausted.

Her eyes were already closed for sleep.

"Liu Yang, I go through this too. My body is already sore and my wounds still haven't healed. I better sleep. You two can have fun." Zi Long also declined.

In the current situation, tending to injuries was more important than leveling.

"OK. You two can sleep. I and that fatty will train a little." Liu Yang took his sword out of its scabbard and pointed it downwards.

The quickest and most practical way to defeat the Night Devouring Mushrooms was to pierce the head.

"Liu Yang, give me the other sword." Lin Hai asked.

The heavy mallet was powerful to destroy enemies, but against the Night Devouring Mushrooms, the best weapon was the sword.

The number of creatures was limited and there weren't many that were attracted to the place. So he needed something that could help defeat the Night Devouring Mushrooms faster.

"Take it. Fatty, are you going to leave the hammer up in the tree? Or will you hold it together?"

Lin Hai's sledgehammer was something his father used to forge things, but it was loaned to him to use in the Coming of Age Challenge.

"I will tie it around my waist. If there is a problem again, it will be very useful."

The problem he was referring to was finding another Elite Devouring Mushroom.

The duo only had this way of dealing with this type of creature. Or they could go head to head to test.

Previous levels were only 2, now, they are tiers 4 and 3.

Lin Hai might not have enough strength to deal with the Elite Devouring Mushroom, but Liu Yang could do it.

Hearing the words, another sword. Zi Long and Sun Bai's curiosity was piqued.

Looking at Lin Hai's hand, they saw a sword-shaped like a twisted dry branch, but it looked quite sharp.

Zi Long looked curiously at the sword because he didn't recognize the sword, but Sun Bai was scared to see that because she knew what the sword was.

As a young aspirant who wants to enter the Combat School, she has read many kinds of books and has accumulated a lot of knowledge. Also, the sword was something that was kept in the village where they lived.

So it was not difficult for her to recognize the origin of the sword.

The most shocking thing is finding out that the two young men in front of her got the sword.

"Liu Yang, Lin Hai, where did you get that sword?" Sun Bai didn't believe they could have defeated an Elite Devouring Mushroom being only at level 2.

Even adults at level 5 would have some difficulties dealing with this creature unless they use unconventional strategies like Liu Yang and Lin Hai did before.

Zi Long became more curious about it. He had seen the pair carry their own weapons as they left the village, but how did they get this wooden sword?

The thought that the sword was some rare drop from the Devouring Mushrooms made him a little jealous because of their luck.

"We did it after defeating an Elite Devouring Mushroom" Lin Hai didn't need to hide it.

From the tone of the question, he could tell that Sun Bai already suspected something.

"!!!!!" Zi Long showed a shocked face upon hearing the answer.

(An Elite Devouring Mushroom??!!! How is that possible???!!! They should only be level 2. How did they manage to defeat such a powerful creature??!! This is insane!!! ) He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"..." Sun Bai just took a deep breath to calm down.

The confirmation left her very shocked, but at the same time, she was curious to know how the duo managed to defeat the Elite Devouring Mushrooms.

"How did you two do it? You were only at level 2. You can't have won in a face-to-face fight" Zi Long didn't believe they could face a level 5 creature being only at level 2.

"Just watch" Liu Yang and Lin Hai only said these two words.

The duo got up and stopped trying to sleep to see what they were going to do.

The Night Devouring Mushrooms were hopping around near the trees where they were standing.

"..." Silence hung over them.

The only ones with an ear were the Night Devouring Mushrooms hopping around.

The instant one of the Devouring Mushrooms came close to Liu Yang's tree, he jumped up with his sword pointed downwards.

slash!!!!

The sword with the rusty blade pierced the creature deeply. But it didn't die and began to struggle madly.

slash!!!

Using the strength of his arms, Liu Yang slashed with his sword and split the Devouring Mushroom's body in half.

The creature turned to dust and disappeared.

Lin Hai did the same thing.

As the next Devouring Mushrooms were closing in on them, the duo climbed into the trees again to repeat the process.

The strategy used was seen by Zi Long and Sun Bai. The two did not believe that such a simple strategy could work.
