Chapter 775: Chapter 532: Hero Stone (Part 2)
Because the statue finally moved.
"Be careful! The statue’s moving!"
From a distance behind, Qian Shanshan shouted a warning.
Actually, there was no need for the warning, he was already gazing up.
However, this time the statue did not make any attack actions; on the contrary, the red glow on its face gathered into a smiling expression.
Rumble! Rumble!
The statue took two steps to the side, revealing the entrance to the passage it originally blocked.
It even made a gesture of "please."
"Huh?"
Li Pu was a bit puzzled.
"What’s going on."
The people behind also didn’t quite understand.
"Last time it was the Fire God, and now the Mushroom God, don’t you think the deities seem to have a different attitude towards him?"
Only Qian Shanshan was somewhat puzzled.
"Could it be that he’s really some kind of Blue Star Hero?"
Wu Guinan also expressed his doubts.
But thinking about it, it didn’t seem right.
Because even if Li Pu really was some kind of hero, even the hero from the mushroom realm was smashed to pieces earlier, so why would this statue show goodwill to the Blue Star Hero instead?
"Is the danger eliminated, Gugu da!"
The Mushroom Hero didn’t think that much; he happily approached again.
As a result, just as he was 30 meters away, he saw the statue raise its fist again.
"Gugu wah! Don’t attack, I am his friend!"
In a panic, he pointed at Li Pu.
[?]
Unexpectedly, the statue really stopped its movement and looked down at Li Pu.
"They’re all my friends."
Li Pu attempted to explain, and the statue actually withdrew its fist.
"Is this even possible?"
"Being handsome is really reckless, isn’t it?"
The people scoffed as they followed behind.
This passage was much narrower compared to the previous corridor, but its quality was only higher, not lower.
Because its brick material was actually made entirely of gold color.
Paired with the light from the nightglow mushrooms, it was quite resplendent and magnificent.
The distance of the passage wasn’t long; at a normal walking pace, it took about 3 minutes to traverse.
What came into their view was a space not inferior to the previous hall in terms of size.
The difference was, this place was piled high with gold, silver, and jewels.
"Wow, is this the treasury of the gods."
"But as a deity, the collection is a bit too tacky."
"Haha, if you weren’t picking stuff up while you say that, it would be more convincing.’
"Right now, shouldn’t we be looking for the Hero Stone here?"
The group both observed and either mocked or marveled.
Even Chang Shoushang had already started picking things up, taking advantage of his storage space.
Leaving aside the artistic value of these jewels and utensils, just based on the material alone, they could probably sell for quite a few Federation Coins if taken back.
Don’t belittle Federation Coins; they can also be exchanged for Crystal Coins.
As long as the quantity is large enough, it could also be quite a considerable fortune.
Li Pu had the same thought, but his own storage space wasn’t very ample.
So he let Bu Bu pick things up for him. It wasn’t very interested in these shiny, inedible things, so it was just carrying out the task.
As for Li Pu himself, he began exploring the surroundings.
Soon, he discovered a treasure chest among the piles of Gold Coins.
Speaking of treasure chests, they were a fond memory.
Last time inside the [Soul-Eroding Cemetery], he had once unlocked something good from a treasure chest.
"Careful! Danger! Gugu da!"
But rushing ahead of Li Pu, the Mushroom Hero leapt up first.
"It’s said that in places like this, there’s always some monster disguised as a treasure chest trying to attack those who approach."
"So let me open it!"
"Gugu da!"
He pounced onto the chest.
"I think you’re just trying to steal the joy of opening the chest, Bo."
Spabam mercilessly exposed him.
The joy of opening chests was something Li Pu definitely wouldn’t give away.
With the [Gravity Field] released, he pried open the chest lid.
The Mushroom Hero, as a result, was flung out.
Bang~
A ball of light flew out of the box.
"Huh?"
Of course, Li Pu recognized it; this was a familiar skill orb.
Predicting the orb’s landing, he reached out to catch it.
"What a piece of junk."
But with just one look, he was full of disgust.
[LV1-Super Invincible Great Hurricane (E)]
Active effect: Release a hurricane for area attack
Race requirement: Mushroom
This light orb is a little different from the light orbs I’m familiar with.
It actually has no attribute requirement and type requirement.
But the key is, it requires mushroom race.
A seemingly powerful name paired with only the lowest E-grade rank.
It looks completely unreliable.
I wonder if the Mushroom Hero can learn it, better put it back in the box and let him check it himself later.
Besides this box, Li Pu discovered several other boxes.
Inside them, without exception, were items only usable by mushrooms.
And judging from the flashy names and not very high ranks, he seems to gradually indirectly understand what kind of character this so-called Mushroom God is.
"Hey, you guys come over here and check this out!"
At this moment, Long Ren’s voice suddenly echoed.
The group, originally dispersed for treasure hunting, gathered around, except for Chang Shoushang who was still picking valuable jewels among the pile of Gold Coins.
This space is quite large, and they had clear division of tasks earlier, each responsible for an area.
Long Ren was in charge of the deepest corner.
Now everyone came to see that he was pointing at a pile of Gold Coins that appeared to be nothing special.
But upon closer inspection, it seemed not the case; what Long Ren wanted everyone to see was the wall behind the pile of Gold Coins.
The part of the wall not covered by Gold Coins had stone-carved murals, depicting a halo and part of a mushroom cap.
Obviously, this was the portrait of the Mushroom God.
"A bit strange, why are there murals only here?"
"Indeed, I checked the walls over on my side, and there’s nothing."
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry and move these annoying Gold Coins!"
Finally, everyone called upon their summoned beasts to prepare to move.
[Grass!]
However, the straw man’s move was quicker; a green phantom claw swept and moved the heavy pile of Gold Coins away.
Once the pile of Gold Coins was moved, the entire mural on the back wall was revealed.
It turned out this wasn’t simply a mural.
The Mushroom God stood in the painting, but its mushroom spots were replaced by pits.
This is a large portrait, so there are nearly a hundred mushroom spots.
But only the two mushroom spots at the bottom were not pits, instead, they are two blood-red gemstones.
"Found it!"
"It’s the Hero Stone!"
"Haha, finally!"
Upon closer inspection, the group laughed happily.
These two palm-sized mushroom-shaped blood-red gemstones were precisely what they were searching for, the Hero Stones.
"It wasn’t easy."
Long Ren jumped high to the bottom of the mural, reaching for the Hero Stone.
However, an embarrassing scene occurred; although he grabbed the Hero Stone, it didn’t budge, resulting in him being suspended on the wall, looking somewhat comical.
"In my haste, I forgot about it."
He landed back on the ground, rubbing his nose.
Previously, the Evil Mushroom Prophet had explained that only heroes could pluck the Hero Stone.
And each hero could only pluck one stone.
"What? My Mushroom?"
Upon hearing the explanation, the Mushroom Hero was stunned, pointing at himself.
Before he could get a response, he felt his body lifted lightly into the air.
Knowing he couldn’t jump that high, Li Pu released a buoyancy field.
"All these pits represent plucked Hero Stones?"
"But didn’t the Evil Mushroom Prophet say that very few people come here."
Looking at the pits, Wu Guinan raised his question.
Could it mean nearly a hundred heroes had been here before the Mushroom Hero?
"Look, take it, Goo goo da."
At this moment, the Mushroom Hero plucked the Hero Stone and handed it to the group.
The originally dim gemstone now shone brightly in his hand.
According to the Evil Mushroom Prophet, only when touched by heroes or potential heroes would the stone glow.
The Mushroom Hero was undoubtedly a hero since he could pluck it and make it glow.
The first to receive the gemstone was the well-deserved Li Pu.
However, unfortunately, the gemstone immediately turned back to its dim state upon reaching his hand.
Next was Wu Guinan→Long Ren→Qian Shanshan, all without reaction.
Of course, in a normal world like Blue Star, how could there be heroes?
Then they tried the straw man and their summoned beasts, even Shi Bam made an appearance, but without exception, none were heroes.
Looks like they could only take the stone out first and then consider it long-term.
"Hey, you guys might want to come and take a look!"
"Something seems off!"
Just then, Chang Shoushang’s voice came from the other end of the hall.
