Chapter 1013 Fungus King

Mushroom King himself could see why the young visitors from the surface world were laughing in unison.

The old face couldn't help but twitched, and swung his cane angrily, knocking the monitor lizard's teeth loudly.

"Silence! Silence!"

"Why are you laughing? What's so funny about that!"

"You all seem to be educated people, why don't you even know how to respect the old and the virtuous?"

"Hey, the young people nowadays are getting more and more outrageous, no matter how big or small, how decent they are!"

King Jun shook his head and sighed, lamenting that the world is getting worse and people's hearts are not old. Then he puffed up his chest and declared proudly:

"It should be known that the old man ruled this mushroom forest and won the love of the majority of the people, not relying on physical fitness and brute force, but relying on benevolence and wisdom!"

Although everyone really couldn't see any "benevolence" and "wisdom" from this mushroom old man, they still stopped laughing and pretended to be respectful.

"Honorable elder, please forgive us for our rudeness just now. Your elder invited us to meet here, what is your order?"

On behalf of her teammates, Audrey came forward to negotiate with the bacteria king.

The old mushroom man was very satisfied with her attitude, Fu Xu nodded.

"Young girl is good, she is very polite. To be frank, I want to use your power to eliminate two kinds of evil mushrooms that have invaded my family's homeland."

"Invasion?" Audrey looked surprised, "There will also be conflicts between the fungus people over the territory?"

"Little girl, you misunderstood my intention." The mushroom king corrected him with a serious face, "We mushroom people are a race that loves peace and does not fight against the world. We only thrive in our own homeland and never leave this wilderness , and will not seize other people’s territory.”

"But the supernatural mushrooms in the Underdark are not only our mushroom people, there are many other mushroom creatures, adhering to a completely different concept of survival from ours, and many of them are evil in nature, taking pleasure in aggression and killing. "

"The two kinds of mushrooms I mentioned just now are the villains and their descendants who have fled to this area. They are like a group of robbers, trying to invade the homeland that our mushroom people have painstakingly managed, and usurp our land, like parasites. Insects snatch the nutrients that should belong to us, and even brutally kill our people!"

The more the fungus king spoke, the more excited he was, and the idea he conveyed to Qiao An and the others also seemed angry.

"These two invasive species are the confidants of our mushroom people. They have been spreading spores and multiplying their offspring crazily for many years. They are constantly squeezing the living space of our family from two directions. If we don't try to wipe them out completely, If things go on like this, our clan may not escape extinction!"

"Mister, haven't you tried to expel those invasive species?" Holden couldn't help asking.

"Of course I tried, and more than once. It's a pity that my family's spore attack was ineffective against the invaders who were also mushrooms. They suffered heavy casualties and failed to drive those invaders out of our homeland."

The king of bacteria sighed, looking a little frustrated.

"The reason why these two gangs of robbers dared to invade our home unscrupulously is that our mushroom people are kind-hearted, hospitable, and always treat outsiders with a welcoming attitude."

"When they first came, there were very few of them, and they were only active around the mushroom forest, so we didn't take it seriously."

"When they gained a firm foothold, spread spores, multiplied, and began to expand into the depths of the mushroom forest, we discovered that the numbers of these two gangs of bandits had grown to the point where they threatened the living space of our clan."

"At this time, if we want to expel these evil and powerful bandits, there is nothing we can do."

Bacteria King gave a wry smile, and continued:

"The cruel reality has forced our family to learn a lesson and make changes. The attitude towards outsiders is no longer as warm and friendly as before, lest the other party also come to grab the territory."

"If outsiders show hostility, our people will respond immediately and eliminate the intruders at all costs."

After listening to his narration, Joan suddenly realized.

No wonder the fungus people I met by the river before seemed very nervous. They hid when they saw passers-by from a distance. It turned out that they were invaded by alien species before, leaving a psychological shadow.

Only one mushroom kid didn't take the initiative to avoid them, and was attacked by the vile tentacle monster as prey, which angered the already nervous mushroom people, and they also regarded them as robbers who invaded their homes, and launched a frenzied siege.

"Young man, you are just explorers who passed by here. The previous conflict with my tribe was purely a misunderstanding, but I am amazed by the strength you showed in the conflict. If I get your help, I am fully confident Destroy those two bandits!"

The fungus king raised his cane excitedly, as if he couldn't wait to fight back against the intruders.

"Old man, don't think about anything good! It's not impossible to help you drive out the robbers, but what good will it do us?" Hailaer asked coldly.

In fact, Qiao An also had the same idea, but he was too embarrassed to say it in person.

Fortunately, there is a "money fan" by her side, and when the word "interest" is involved, she will not pretend to be arrogant. Even if you can't take advantage of it, at least you won't let yourself and your companions suffer.

"Ahem! You little girl, it's so vulgar to talk about benefits with just one mouth!"

Jun Wang relied on the old to sell the old, trying to teach Hailar a lesson, but was interrupted by her angrily.

"Mushroom old man, stop playing tricks on me! If you want to ask us for help, you have to show enough sincerity!"

"Old man, do you understand sincerity? It is the foundation of mutual trust between people, the kind of virtue denominated in famous small gold coins."

"We will provide as much service as you show sincerity. This is called fair trade."

Hailar said eloquently.

The old mushroom man snorted resentfully, and said to Hailaer: "I don't have the kind of virtue you want, but I can use the magic crystal to express my sincerity."

"Magic crystal?!" Hailar's eyes lit up, "Magic crystal is a higher measure of virtue than gold, of course it's no problem!"

"You little girl who fell into the eyes of money, you are simply insulting the word 'virtue'!"

The old mushroom man couldn't help but want to give some moral lectures again, but when he saw Hailaer staring with his arms akimbo, he was so frightened that he shrank his head and shut his mouth.

In the dark region, gold and silver coins are only circulated in a few commercially developed dungeons, and the aborigines in the underground world are more willing to use magic crystals as transaction currency.

After some intense bargaining, Hailaer managed to secure a generous reward for himself and his companions.

The Fungus King promised to give each of them half a pound of magic crystals as a thank you gift.

Half a pound of magic crystals, converted into the currency of the surface world, is almost 5,000 gold duga, which is really a huge windfall!
