Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1760: Chapter 1740: Hundred Flavors Mushroom

”Start the fire, start the fire, it looks disgusting.” The initially excited group of people unanimously agreed and decisively began to set the fire, regardless of the location.

He Wenyu wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she remained silent.

This thing... she’s somewhat unable to accept it. She’s still waiting for Luo Qianqian to come over and wash her hands...

Not to mention eating them, even using two branches to pick up the Hundred Flavors Mushroom she didn’t touch and put it in a box felt like it cast a shadow in her heart.

She needs to wash thoroughly later; she vows to refuse cooking mushrooms in the future! It’s simply a significant torment in life!

It’s nightmare-inducing...

Everything was fine initially, but after learning about its origin, she felt very uncomfortable, wishing she was dreaming...

”Did everyone pick them?” Di Jun asked.

The group nodded with mournful faces, ”Since they all grew well, we picked them... not even the tails are left.”

”That’s good; we don’t need to go and pick them ourselves.” Di Jun also breathed a sigh of relief. No one wants to eat such things even if they can be purified, right? It’s a double test of mind and stomach!

Even if it tastes truly delicious, hearing about its origin makes one want to vomit it out!

The origin of spiritual herbs and medicines being disgusting has indeed been heard, like the black crocodile growing in the swamp, highly toxic, but its spiritual pearl is a detoxifying spiritual prescription. Even when not used as material, keeping it nearby wards off poison and evil.

But this... even valuable things make one timid at the sight, right? The conditions for growing this thing are especially harsh.

Leaving aside the issue of long years, a corpse must be fed with soil that previously grew Hundred Flavors Mushrooms before dying, namely soil from a corpse where Hundred Flavors Mushrooms once grew.

Who’s foolish enough, after eating this thing, not knowing it’ll lead to death? Will they still eat it?

It’s not like someone would foolishly eat soil; eating bark or something would be understandable, but soil? Can it be digested?

Seeing the smoke suddenly burst into seven colors, almost instinctively everyone covered their mouths and noses and quickly left, without the slightest intention to check the fate of the Hundred Flavors Mushroom.

Anyway, after burning the Hundred Flavors Mushroom, all that’s left is soil; even the surrounding turf was cleaned off too, leaving only yellow soil. As long as there’s no evil wind, it won’t cause serious consequences.

Upon contact with fire, the Hundred Flavors Mushroom rapidly shriveled, turned black, and soon a pile became a heap of red powder, drifting in the air, spreading quickly over that area.

The teachers in the green area, unaware of the rapidly spreading landscape, also stared in shock. What is this thing? Why is this area turning red? But now the assessment is crucial, it’ll be reported to the deputy dean later...

Luckily, this area was void of people, mainly as the green area holds little worth exploring, so even the Mystery Class went elsewhere into the yellow area.

Unfortunately, all the tokens in the yellow area have been found.

”Hey? Shiliu? What brings you here?” Luo Qianqian and Long Tu strolled over, He Wenyu led the class over, and they bumped into each other.

”Shiqi, quickly wash my hands, wash my face, wash my clothes, hurry and don’t ask why.” He Wenyu nearly cried upon seeing Luo Qianqian, knowing such disgusting things she had never witnessed before...

”What’s wrong?” Luo Qianqian was a bit dumbfounded but proceeded to wash He Wenyu clean.

Yet, before He Wenyu could respond, the classmates rushed over, pleading all over their faces.

Luo Qianqian froze at first, then washed each one, although her expression darkened slightly, everyone else seemed noticeably relieved.

”What’s going on?” Long Tu saw Luo Qianqian helping without questioning, brows knitted, looking at Di Jun.

Di Jun was also sorrowful, ”You don’t know, we’ve encountered a very disgusting mushroom, it grows from the bodies of dead people, and moreover...”

”Hundred Flavors Mushroom?” Long Tu frowned and asked, urgency on his face, ”Did you encounter the Hundred Flavors Mushroom?”

”You actually know that thing? You’re not thinking of eating it, right? We’ve already burned it...” Di Jun looked at Long Tu, horrified, thinking, how could you be interested in such a disgusting thing; are you some kind of freak?

”Burned it?” Long Tu was again shocked, ”No big deal, surely facing at most one or two.”

”Not just one or two, we encountered thousands of Hundred Flavors Mushrooms!” Di Jun said, shivering, hugging his arms.

”Hundreds of thousands?” Long Tu looked incredulously at everyone, ”You burned them? Where?”

”Why do you still want to see? It’s in the green area, near Number One Token.” Di Jun moved a step away, feeling this time that Long Tu seemed freakishly interested.

Long Tu stepped back two paces, full of disbelief, ”Run!”

”Why?” Luo Qianqian looked baffled but instinctively pulled He Wenyu beside her to run toward the red area.

”Hundred Flavors Mushroom, burning at high temperatures multiplies its hallucinogenic effects tenfold or hundredfold, creating a hallucinogenic haze world. If so many really exist, this world is likely already spreading! Inhaling this haze causes short-term deep sleep, leading gradually to death without rescue, and upon death, one becomes a new host for the Hundred Flavors Mushroom!” Long Tu looked at everyone again and glanced towards the green area, ”Run! To the red area!”

The group initially wandering outside ended up sprinting to the red area.

Luo Qianqian was filled with despair; what kind of terrifying mushroom is this? How can such horrifying events occur?

Glancing around she shouted, ”Ji Lei teacher, are you here? We need you!”

He Wenyu looked at Luo Qianqian’s actions, then realized if they don’t inform others, some might be caught!

”Ji Lei teacher!” He Wenyu also called out, followed by the entire class joining in calling out.

Ji Lei hurried over, but couldn’t get too close to avoid detection, so even upon hearing voices, he approached slowly.

”Teacher, there’s a problem in the green area!” Luo Qianqian and He Wenyu swiftly, clearly explained the situation, while others quickly passed a scroll over, handing it to Ji Lei.

Ji Lei glanced at it and turned green.

He couldn’t admit he had observed the passage of He Wenyu’s group from there.

With such vivid colors, he was intrigued; he even considered collecting some once finished.

Who’d imagine such a predicament?

”I’ll immediately report to the dean, Kuang Xiao!” Ji Lei promptly called out in a direction.

Incidentally, a familiar handsome figure appeared before them.

Luo Qianqian, He Wenyu, Di Jun, Long Tu all stared wide-eyed, wasn’t this the person who was ’unsatisfied with desires,’ nearly killing them but due to female presence spared them...

”Here you guard, I’ll notify the vice dean, halt other classes if seen, prevent any movement.” Kuang Xiao slowly nodded.
