Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 156 - 110: Fox Mountain’s Great Mushroom Ship (Part 2)

Chapter 156: Chapter 110: Fox Mountain’s Great Mushroom Ship (Part 2)

Another seven or eight junior and senior brothers were also excavating nearby. At this moment, they all gathered around, standing beside Quanquan Hu, looking toward the ruins ahead.

They were dumbfounded too.

The ruins ahead, with their dark water pools and bubbling mud, stretched as far as the eye could see, and turned out to be a swamp!

The foxes craned their necks, widening their eyes to observe the swampy ruins.

In the vast swamp, in the distance, they saw small islands emerging from the water. Farther away, pointed roofs were visible protruding from the mud.

What to do about this?

Are the good things on the island?

Are the good things all submerged in water?

Buried in the mud?

How to excavate this?

Quanquan Hu looked down at his own fiery red fur and round, chubby belly... he couldn’t swim, after all, he was just a fox.

The other junior brothers also frowned. White Tail took a few steps forward, probing the water with the tip of his tail to test its depth... it was quite deep!

Just by looking at the water, it was clear it was definitely not clean. He didn’t even know if it was poisonous.

A group of foxes didn’t hesitate and immediately turned around, "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh," and ran back to the direction of the Bronze Hall.

When in doubt, find the master!

...

Inside the Bronze Hall.

Bai Mo was studying that thousand-year-old Immortal Grass, that giant Centennial Mushroom.

It looked like a giant python, as thick as a barrel, tens of meters long, coiled inside the hall, with a plump vertical mouth at the head that was slightly eerie.

The tail was originally connected to dense mycelium but had all been snapped off by Black Gloves and Flying Legs, making it look fluffy.

Bai Mo stood next to it, his Divine Sense spreading out like an invisible wind, penetrating this thing, exploring and sensing its medicinal properties. The more he sensed, the more he frowned.

"This thing... doesn’t live up to its name.

"A thousand-year-old Immortal Grass, yet it hasn’t accumulated much medicinal property.

"That’s not right?"

Remarkably, its medicinal property was almost the same as the ordinary main root used before.

And that thing, the fox disciples had already developed a resistance to it, unable to use it again to enhance themselves.

"In a thousand years, how many it has slain, how many it harmed, the nutrients it absorbed are immeasurable.

"And over such a long time, it naturally grew, also absorbing a lot of Heaven and Earth essence.

"Where did all these accumulations go?"

Bai Mo frowned, continuing to touch it with both hands, spreading his Divine Sense, studying this thing... not long after, he figured it out.

"...So it used its thousand-year accumulation not to convert into medicinal properties but to protect its life?"

Bai Mo touched its surface, only to feel it was smooth and flexible.

This was the growth of a thousand years; it was impassable to blades and spears, impervious to water and fire, indestructible like diamond, indeed a top-tier defense! Previously, Wu Qingyun’s full-powered sword slashed its surface without leaving a mark, not even able to scratch it.

With this strength, when it passed through the underground, sharp rocks, lava, and even seismic waves couldn’t damage it!

Bai Mo sat back down behind the Bronze Table, frowned, smacking his lips.

"This...

"Without medicinal properties, wouldn’t it be a bit of a dud?"

Suddenly, a few fiery red figures rushed in from the hall entrance, straight to the Bronze Table. It was Quanquan Hu and a group of fox disciples, all gesticulating, their expressions anxious.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp!"

"Howl, howl, howl!"

"Chirp chirp howl howl!"...

Bai Mo understood what his disciples meant.

"Water? Swamp?

"Ruins submerged in the swamp?"

He knew there was such a ruin, but he didn’t expect that his disciples’ excavation was so fast, they had already reached the swamp?

"Excavating ruins in the swamp is indeed a problem."

Bai Mo frowned, pondered for a moment, then looked up at the massive, python-like Centennial Mushroom piled in the hall.

"We’ll solve that problem slowly; let’s first get a boat to access the islands in the swamp."

A boat?

The disciples widened their eyes.

What kind of boat is Master going to make?

Then they saw Bai Mo decisively get up, walk to the side of the Centennial Mushroom, and touch the neck area behind its vertical mouth.

In his hand, green flames ignited, small flames flaring up. And these flames seeped and drilled into the surface of the Centennial Mushroom!

Soon, emerging from the mushroom’s surface, like threading a needle, slender mycelium threads began to drift upwards like seaweed.

"These are its nerves, capable of transmitting pheromones throughout its body."

More and more neural mycelium threads extended from the Centennial Mushroom, gradually forming strands, then bundles, and finally merging into a thick rope-like structure, protruding upwards.

Bai Mo picked up a piece of long agarwood from nearby, using his Divine Sense to distinguish each neural thread, then guided them to grow onto the agarwood.

Before long, he withdrew the Pill Fire and his Divine Sense.

The back neck of the Centennial Mushroom was pulled up to reveal a protrusion, with a filthy piece of agarwood grafted onto it.

"Great, this is the steering wheel!"

Steering wheel?

The fox apprentices crowded around, craning their heads, their eyes fixed on the "steering wheel."

Master installed a steering wheel on the back neck of this giant mushroom?

But what is a steering wheel?

"Add a little oil... no, feed it some fertilizer through its mouth; I’ll demonstrate how to use it."

...

Soon, this giant mushroom really began to slither like a python, moving in serpentine fashion on the ground, crawling out of the Bronze Hall doors!

And atop its back neck was Bai Mo, holding the steering wheel, controlling the direction.

"See? 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Wherever you turn the steering wheel, that’s where it’ll go.

"Don’t be too gentle when you steer. This thing is quite sturdy!

"Look at these neural bundles; they have naturally developed a protective membrane..."

Behind Bai Mo, seven or eight fox apprentices craned their heads, watching their master maneuver the giant mushroom, their eyes gleaming.

"This thing stays afloat in water; we’ll use it as a boat to bring you through the swamp and start developing an island.

"We’ll study it further later and add more features."

I have to say, riding on the back neck of this thing is quite enjoyable!

Bai Mo manipulated the steering wheel, guiding it down the mountain path, and laughed out loud.

"Let’s ride it to the ruins first and test the waters."

Behind him, seven or eight fox apprentices exchanged looks.

This thing is great, but it’s too slow. Riding it to the swamp ruins would take a long time!

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

"Howl howl howl!"

The fox apprentices jumped off the back of the giant mushroom, working together from front to back to lift and carry it, rushing toward the swamp ruins.

The speed improved greatly!

"Howl howl howl!"

"Howl howl howl!"

They carried the long giant mushroom, cheering as they rushed along the mountain path toward the swamp ruins.

Bai Mo sat on the back neck of the giant mushroom, feeling the wind against his face, listening to the apprentices’ cheers, his expression peculiar. This giant mushroom truly has development potential. If we desire speed, it can certainly be achieved in later development. We’ll study it further!

...

Before long, the master and apprentices arrived at the swamp edge, and the apprentices set down the giant mushroom, climbing back onto its back behind their master.

More fox apprentices digging into the ruins came over to watch, their eyes fixed on this giant mushroom.

Master pushed the steering wheel, and the mushroom began slithering forward, crossing the shoreline, entering the water.

Splash...

In the midst of water sounds, the giant mushroom swam on the water surface in serpentine motions, traveling farther and farther.

On the shore, the fox apprentices bounced around, cheering in celebration.

"Howl howl howl!"

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

Sitting on the back neck of the giant mushroom, Bai Mo brought Quanquan Hu forward to let him control the steering wheel.

"Give it a try, learn it!

"That bite of fertilizer the giant mushroom ate can sustain it for ten days, so no need to worry about endurance.

"Drive it to excavate the islands in the swamp first.

"By tonight, carry it back to the dormitory, and we’ll continue to modify it."

Behind him, the other fox apprentices craned their heads, casting excited and envious glances.

Quanquan Hu’s eyes widened, rubbing his front paws together, blew warm air on them before cautiously touching the steering wheel.
