Chapter 767: Chapter 528: Hellish Training II
Thud!
The Mushroom Hero flopped straight down in front of everyone.
[Damn!]
Pop!
But what greeted it was still a whip from the straw man.
"Beat me to death, beat me to death, go go mushroom."
The Mushroom Hero lay motionless, allowing the beating, beginning to play dead.
This scene prompted Wu Guinan to glance at a few people.
Long Ren: This plan seems to actually work.
Wu Guinan: I told you, its wish is simply to die.
Qian Shanshan: ... that doesn’t really count as a wish.
Chang Shoushang: Can you stop goofing off and help me start the fire?
"Okay, get up quickly."
"The next task is to move stones!"
Not letting the Mushroom Hero continue lying down, Long Ren pulled it up.
The big stone from earlier had already been cut into pieces by the half-dragon man.
Each piece was of a size suitable for a mushroom person to carry, and the task for the Mushroom Hero was to carry this pile of stones from one end to the other, 10 meters away.
Don’t let the short distance fool you; the stones were really numerous and heavy.
Even for Long Ren, it was a heavy task, not to mention for the Mushroom Hero.
"I’m not moving them, I’d rather die than move them!"
"Go go mushroom da da da!"
But as soon as the Mushroom Hero was pulled up, it went back to rolling on the ground.
With an expression that even if it was whipped, it wasn’t afraid, and wondered what more could they do to it.
Li Pu was prepared for this.
He signaled to the ugly little wolf.
[Hoole Boole!]
The ugly little wolf understood, strutted over confidently, and lifted its hind leg.
Snap, crackle!
A bolt of lightning struck the Mushroom Hero directly on the butt, though it might not technically have one.
"Ouch, mushroom ouch!"
The Mushroom Hero clutched its slightly singed and mushroom-scented behind, hopping up immediately.
The power of lightning was much more formidable than the whip.
There was no choice, it couldn’t fight back, so it could only comply obediently.
One hour later, the Mushroom Hero’s hands dangled, feeling as if they no longer belonged to itself.
But fortunately, the task was done.
"The third task, jump rope."
This time, Qian Shanshan stepped forward.
"I’m exhausted, I don’t want to play anymore!"
"Go go mushroom da!"
Thud!
The Mushroom Hero fell down again.
But before it could start rolling, a round, glowing blue ball rolled up to it.
Pop~
The ball popped like a bubble and turned into a glowing blue kangaroo.
"Go go mushroom?"
For a moment, it was unsure what was happening.
[Chichi da~]
Then, the glowing blue kangaroo started to dance with its hands and feet.
The little kangaroo’s dance was simple, just swaying its hands and tail.
But just from one glance, it was as if a thousand needles had pierced into the Mushroom Hero’s brain.
"Mushroom da mushroom da mushroom da!"
"My brain is going to rot!! Although this hero doesn’t have a brain!!!"
This time, its rolling was not play-acting but from pain.
"If you don’t get up, more will come, you know?"
Qian Shanshan covered her mouth and laughed from the crowd that had stood far away at some point.
"I get the feeling, you might actually be more devilish than me, pop."
Spamm couldn’t resist commenting on seeing her like this.
But the so-called jump rope wasn’t about ordinary jump rope.
It was the Big Scythe eerily spinning the Scythe of Death in its hand, swinging it circle after circle toward the Mushroom Hero.
Several times, the Mushroom Hero was so tired it wanted to give up and let this guy just chop it to death.
But the Big Scythe, having received orders long ago, didn’t strike hard; if the Mushroom Hero didn’t jump, it only nicked a little, the pain making the Mushroom Hero grin widely while baring its teeth.
"Now I suspect, there might be something wrong with its mental state."
"To be able to smile from this kind of devilish training, that really seems like emotional deficiency."
Wu Guinan and Long Ren watched the show and discussed.
"That’s something you guys wouldn’t know."
"This is called the hero mindset, always facing every predicament with a smile."
"Pop."
Spamm explained from the side.
After 5,000 jump ropes, the Mushroom Hero was nearly dried up, not even sweating a drop.
"The fourth task, boxing."
However, Li Pu showed no mercy and came over yawning with Fu Fu.
"Have you all... ever been cursed by a hero?"
"Mushroom mushroom da!"
At this moment, the Mushroom Hero’s smile seemed to carry a sinister undertone.
"I’m not afraid of curses."
Li Pu told the truth.
In terms of martial arts, the couple with the [Divine Kung Fu] was indeed the top here.
Each punch hit the flesh, yet each punch did not harm the Mushroom Hero’s muscles and bones.
Because if they killed the Mushroom Hero, it would resurrect with all states fully restored.
In this way, today’s efforts would be wasted.
Therefore, not damaging muscles and bones referred to only hurting the skin.
Before long, the Mushroom Hero’s face was swollen and bruised.
However, hurting the opponent was not the couple’s goal; their goal was merely to exhaust the Mushroom Hero’s stamina as much as possible.
It must be admitted, the Mushroom Hero also had its strengths.
After enduring such grueling special training, it had not completely exhausted its stamina, complaining of fatigue yet persisting.
Unfortunately, it was facing the couple.
A martial arts master strong enough to crush the current stage of the Mushroom Hero.
"I can’t do it anymore! I really can’t do it this time!"
"Mushroom mushroom dizzy!"
Finally, it couldn’t hold on, rolled its eyes upward, and fainted while raising its two small short hands.
"Finally knocked it down."
"It wasn’t easy, not easy at all."
"It’s not dead, right? If it dies and resurrects, that’d be troublesome."
"Can this plan really succeed?"
Everyone gathered around.
"Of course."
Li Pu was very confident, looking towards Chang Shoushang’s side: "Is the fire ready?"
"Alright then, let’s get started."
He rolled up his sleeves and walked over.
"What exactly is your plan, bo?"
Shi Bam had not been informed of the details until now.
Watching them chopping scallions and smashing garlic, could it be they planned to eat this Mushroom Man?
"As a demon, I’m afraid you can’t understand."
Li Pu moved swiftly, already starting to handle the cooking.
They had previously inquired from Shi Bam that after drinking last night, the Mushroom Hero had even vomited out bile.
That is to say, since early in the morning, its stomach was empty.
Coupled with hours of training exhaustion, it must be famished by now.
"Appetite is one of the most fundamental and greatest desires of living organisms."
"I plan to start with its appetite, gradually stimulating it step by step."
"Perhaps it might come to realize the meaning of life, finding its own desires."
In his words, he had already finished cooking several sumptuous dishes.
"Hearing you say that, it seems to make some sense, bo."
Although Shi Bam couldn’t cook, it was a bit puzzled: is cooking really such a quick task?
The four of Wu Guinan beside him, at this moment, had an indescribable expression.
They acknowledged Li Pu’s theory.
But it was just that...
Perhaps another approach might also achieve the goal.
"Smells so good! Mushroom mushroom da da!"
The aroma of the dishes reached the Mushroom Hero, and it immediately woke up.
At this moment, it felt that it could devour an entire cow.
"Eat up."
Li Pu held the dish, bringing it to its face.
"Thank you, mushroom mushroom da!"
"You’re really a great person! Mushroom da!"
The Mushroom Hero’s eyes were shining.
Everyone was slightly excited upon seeing this.
Plan success.
This guy indeed showed signs of desire!
It’s just that seeing the Mushroom Hero start eating, Wu Guinan and the others felt a bit uneasy.
But considering that someone who has tasted the world’s most unpalatable dishes might be more tempted to try genuinely delicious dishes,
holding onto such thoughts, they didn’t stop Li Pu from cooking.
Food in, swallowed down.
In just a few seconds, the results came out.
"It’s so delicious! I never want to eat anything else ever again!"
"Mushroom mushroom da!"
The Mushroom Hero, with a radiant smile, unexpectedly re-gurgitated the food it had swallowed.
"Uh..." x5
No one had expected that their plan might have backfired.
From today, or more accurately from this meal, the Mushroom Hero decided to fast.
After all, even if it starves to death, it would revive not feeling hungry again.
