Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Kicking the Lion's Den

[Name: Exploding Mushroom]

[Race: Plant]

[Level: Tier 2 (0/25)]

[Strength: 0]

[Constitution: 10]

[Agility: 0]

[Spirit: 22]

[Skills: Exploding Spores (Launches spores into the air, attaching to enemies and causing a powerful explosion, dealing 80% of Spirit as area damage.)]

[Introduction: A harmless little mushroom, can even be used to make soup.]

Good heavens, I'm speechless.

Spores that explode?

What bizarre unit is this?

Lin You was almost too tired to complain about the units he was randomly getting.

From the initial sapling to the current exploding mushroom, none of them are normal.

But this exploding mushroom is not bad. Although it doesn't have any attack ability itself and can't move, its skill is very good.

As long as he uses the Mutation ability to mutate it into other units, it will also inherit this skill. Wouldn't that mean that a vine whip would also have a blasting effect?

Just imagining that scene makes him feel wonderful.

It's just a pity that his mana is now exhausted, and he can't mutate it for the time being.

He looked up at the sky, and it had already darkened unknowingly. Lin You gave up the idea of going out again, and besides, he was hungry after working hard all day.

He simply set up a frame, used the flame crystal found in the Flame Lion's body to light a fire, and began to grill meat while checking the messages in the chat channel.

"Brothers, how are things on your side?"

"It's okay, it was just a little uncomfortable at the beginning, but now I've finally upgraded the territory to Tier 2."

"So fast? I still need 4 mana to upgrade. Those monsters are too hard to kill."

"Don't mention it, I encountered a Tier 2 monster when I went out today, and almost got wiped out. It was hard to escape back to the territory."

"You're lucky. My initial unit is rubbish and can't even deal with Tier 1 monsters. I can't get anything to eat, and I don't know how to get through tonight."

"Tragic."

Messages kept scrolling by, all describing their own miserable situations. Some even couldn't solve the problem of food and clothing.

In comparison, Lin You was much better off.

Not only did he solve the problem of food and clothing, but he also upgraded the territory to Tier 2, which was barely enough to gain a foothold in this world.

"By the way, does anyone have territories assigned to the Angel or Demon factions? I heard that these two units are very strong!"

At this time, someone sent a message asking.

Moreover, the question asked was the issue Lin You was most concerned about: territory types!

Based on the information he had collected throughout the day, he had basically learned about the types of units in this world, which were roughly divided into ten types.

Humanoid, Demi-human, Beast, Insect, Plant, Undead, Elemental, Mechanical, Angel, Demon.

Corresponding to the ten types of territories: Castle, Tribe, Beast Den, Insect Nest, Tree of Life, Graveyard, Elemental Land, Mechanical Factory, Holy Temple, Blood Palace.

Among them, the Angel and Demon factions are the rarest, followed by the Elemental and Mechanical factions.

Sure enough, as soon as the Angel and Demon factions were mentioned, many people immediately stood up to echo.

"I don't know about the Demon faction, but I saw an Angel faction guy today, with two Angel units beside him, and he instantly killed a Tier 2 monster. It's just perverted!"

"Hiss! So powerful? Did he make things difficult for you?"

"What could he do? I had a Tier 2 Gale Leopard with me at the time, and I rode it away directly. He couldn't catch up even if he wanted to."

"Damn! I thought it was a bitter drama of revenge, but it turned out to be a Versailles!"

"Having Tier 2 units so soon, I'm so envious."

"What's there to envy? Tier 2 doesn't need much experience, it's easy to level up. The difficult thing is after Tier 3, you have to kill monsters of the same level to get experience."

"That's right, killing low-level ones doesn't give any experience at all, and the mana is pitifully low. I don't know when I'll be able to recruit all the units."

One day was enough for them to explore a lot of information about this world.

They took advantage of the evening rest time to share information with each other in the chat channel.

Lin You just watched while eating, collecting a lot of useful information, which saved him a lot of detours, and at the same time, he silently noted the power of the Angel and Demon factions.

If they were to meet one day because of interests, it would probably be a fierce battle.

Just like that.

After eating the grilled meat and filling his stomach, Lin You came to the bottom of the Tree of Life. Through the connection with the Tree of Life, he grew vines and weaved them into a simple hammock under the tree, and fell asleep comfortably.

This was also Lin You's first night after coming to this world.

Perhaps because he was tired all day, he fell asleep quickly.

Early the next morning.

Lin You woke up early.

It wasn't that he wanted to wake up so early, but he was awakened by a series of impacts.

When he opened his eyes and looked outside, he found that his territory was actually surrounded by several Flame Lions, who were frantically hitting the territory's fence!

"What's going on?"

Lin You was startled and jumped out of the hammock.

After carefully counting, there were actually three Flame Lions outside the territory!

Could it be that he stirred up a lion's den?

Or is it... because of the Flame Lion yesterday?

Thinking of this, Lin You couldn't help but look at the jerky that had just been dried on the side.

It seemed that it was because of the flesh and blood aura of its companion that these Flame Lions were attracted, instantly shattering his hope of going out to hunt.

The Flame Lion yesterday almost caused him to lose troops. Now that three of them have come, how can he deal with them?

He was afraid that he would be trapped here.

"Roar!"

At this time, the Flame Lions outside also noticed Lin You, and even more fiercely slammed into the fence, causing it to bang loudly.

The thorn vines and thorn flowers in the territory were not idle either. The thorn vines swooshed out of the fence, trying to launch an attack, but they were instantly burned to charcoal by the flames spewed out by the Flame Lions.

Seeing this situation, Lin You frowned.

Flame-type monsters, and Tier 3 flame-type monsters at that, were too much of a restraint on his units.

One would have been fine, he could have used the advantage of the safe period and human-wave tactics to sneak attack and exhaust it, but three wouldn't work. He had to think of other ways.

He's got it!

Didn't he still have new units?

Suddenly, Lin You thought of the Tier 2 unit he had just unlocked yesterday, the Exploding Mushroom.

Yesterday, because it was too late, he couldn't get mana to mutate the Exploding Mushroom. Now that a night had passed, many monsters that came to forage in the middle of the night had been killed by his plants, increasing his mana by 5 points.

Not daring to waste time, he hurried to the Exploding Mushroom and directly used the Mutation ability.

[Mutating a Tier 2 Summon Unit requires 5 mana. Do you want to continue?]

The prompt sounded.

As Lin You had guessed, the mana consumed by mutating a Tier 2 unit was much more, directly increasing fivefold.

"Continue!"

Lin You responded in a deep voice.

In the next second, the Exploding Mushroom was enveloped in light and began to grow rapidly, turning into a vine plant more than half a person tall in the blink of an eye.

[Name: Thorn Flower]

[Race: Plant]

[Level: Tier 2 (0/25)]

[Strength: 19]

[Constitution: 22]

[Agility: 8]

[Spirit: 20]

[Skills: Exploding Spores, Vine Whip]

[Introduction: The lowest-level plant-type summon, initially possessing the ability to move.]

Unlike the previous Thorn Flower, this Thorn Flower inherited the Exploding Spores skill, and was covered with red spores, constantly floating in the air with the vines.

Seeing this, Lin You immediately issued an attack command to it.

"Swoosh—"

Two vines turned into long whips and swept past the fence, rushing out more than ten meters away, instantly entangling a Flame Lion closest to the fence!
