<ALERT: Poisonous substance. Fatal to Host!>
The moment Lenny's tongue touched the glowing Mushroom, he could feel his body weakening.
When E7007 had warned about touching the mushrooms, he was absolutely not joking.
These mushrooms were just too toxic.
It was really very terrible to a person's system.
<Detoxifying Host!>
<Host detoxified>
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 held Lenny down previously.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBoth 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 reach for his head.
He immediately removed the loin cloth covering his private, 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 not a funny joke.
These were D class cultivators.
Even amongst the D class gladiators, these two were cream of the crop.
As they headed for him, they also fought against the insects.
One gladiator smashed an insects head open with a punch and used as a shield against the other insects.
This giant ants and cockroaches were the size of 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 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 plans 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.
Who ever 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 from 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 a sharp cave stone on the ground and dropped one of the Mushrooms at the entrance of the Hole.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGladiators 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 signalled 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 ran in.
However, the moment the gladiators entered this place, there were forced to place their hands over their eyes.
The reason was simple.
This cave was filled with the Chimera ant that had the 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 trying and 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 the gathering of Chimera ants.
The only harm that this Worm like Chimera ants had was the numbing effect from their eyes.
Therefore, lenny's brilliant idea.
The Gladiators searched around for him. There 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 gat!?"
Lenny also smiled back at him. "No!"
