SWNOVELXO Devil Slave (Satan system)
The moment Lenny's tongue touched the glowing Mushroom, he could feel his body weakening.
When E7007 warned about touching the mushrooms, he was absolutely not joking.
These mushrooms were just too toxic.
It was really terrible for a person's system.
The moment he got the alerts, he could feel his fading vision coming back.
But that was not all. The giant insects were rushing for him.
Behind him was a wall. It was perfect for what he wanted to do.
Using the wall, he popped the bones on one hand back in place by ramming against it.
It hurt like hell, but this was not Lenny's first rodeo.
He had done worse things to his body before.
He popped the joints of the other hand into place, and then he picked some of the mushrooms from the ground.
He looked above his head and stared into the eyes of the gladiators as they looked at him in obvious surprise.
"He can touch the mushrooms." A222 was baffled. "Quickly, get him!" She pushed down the two D-class gladiators that had held Lenny down previously.
Both of them fell into the hole.
Sticks with the glowing mushrooms were also thrown down the hole for them.
Lenny saw this.
He knew he could not stay here anymore.
He used the glowing mushrooms to push back the insects as he ran deep into the hive nest.
The gladiators also followed after him.
He ran through as fast as he could.
Behind him, The chittering insects chased, and so did the gladiators.
Lenny had a mushroom in each of his hands and one in his mouth. But when he looked around, it was clear that this was not going to be enough.
Some of the insects crawled on the walls, and some of them were even on the ceiling, reaching for his head.
He immediately removed the loin cloth covering his privates and used it to firmly tie one of the glowing mushrooms on his head.
At least that way, the ones on the ceiling would stay away from him.
The strength of the gladiators that had come for him was not a funny joke.
These were D-class cultivators.
Even among the D-class gladiators, these two were the cream of the crop.
As they headed for him, they also fought against the insects.
One gladiator smashed an insect's head open with a punch and used it as a shield against the other insects.
These giant ants and cockroaches were the size of a fully grown tortoise.
There were not all easy contenders to deal with, but these gladiators just bulldozed their way through.
Lenny frowned.
He was smart. He could tell that running was not going to get him anywhere.
If he really wanted to shake them off his tail, then he would need to fight.
But at the same time, he was not dumb.
Fighting these guys was a definite No.
He had techniques, but against the strong bodies of D-class cultivators, thinking he would win against one was like trying to let a camel pass through the eye of a needle.
The last time he fought in the D class, he had to run under D800's table for safety.
But then again, who said he had to fight them?
He looked around the cave as a plan formed in his head.
This place was the nest of these bugs. These meant that it was filled with many passages and canals. If Lenny was not wrong, and he wasn't, this place was akin to the entrance of an underground chimera ant colony.
Whoever said he needed to fight? He could just let the ants do it for him.
With that idea in mind, Lenny looked at the holes ahead.
And then he noticed a particularly familiar ant coming out of one.
In fact, most of the chimera ants in this hole were of this type.
Immediately, he rushed for this hole. As he did, he picked up a sharp cave stone on the ground and dropped one of the mushrooms at the entrance of the hole.
Gladiators, after killing the insects around them, chased after him. But they did not know which direction he followed.
That was when one of them saw the glowing mushroom on the ground and signaled the direction to his counterpart.
This was already a fair distance into the territory of the chimera ants. Since the chimera ants did not like the glowing mushrooms, there was no way that a glowing mushroom would be here.
This meant that this was the direction Lenny had run in.
However, the moment the gladiators entered this place, they were forced to place their hands over their eyes.
The reason was simple.
This cave was filled with the chimera ant, which had a numbing effect.
It had the same slow, worm-like Chimera ant with big blue eyes.
They searched around for signs of Lenny, but they could barely open their eyes.
All that they could do was try to make the chimera ants look the other way with the mushrooms they had in hand.
Meanwhile, unknown to them, Lenny was not far away.
In fact, he was hiding under a gathering of chimera ants.
The only harm that these worm-like chimera ants had was the numbing effect of their eyes.
Therefore, Lenny's brilliant idea
The gladiators searched around for him. They avoided looking at the collection of worms at their feet.
They were unaware that Lenny remained in hiding at their feet.
When one of them was close enough, Lenny suddenly jumped to attack him with a stone.
The reaction timing of these gladiators was indeed very fast. The moment Lenny jumped over with the stone in hand, the gladiator caught him by the hand.
He was bigger and taller than Lenny, and that made it easy for him to lift Lenny in the air.
The big man laughed at Lenny. "Is that all you got!?"
Lenny also smiled back at him. "No!"
