Chapter 1061 Blood Tundra

The beam of teleportation light rose into the sky, and the figures of Joan, Hyrule, Audrey, Holden, and Belling disappeared, and they were teleported hundreds of miles away in an instant.

After a short period of dizziness, Joan regained consciousness and found that he and his four companions had left the Oaknell area and returned to the "Fungion Field".

The surrounding scenery is slightly different from the settlement of the fungus clan. In addition to saprophytic plants and tall fungi, the wasteland is also covered with lush moss like bushes. From a distance, it looks like a vast and boundless red grassland.

The scene in front of him made Joan realize that this is the "Blood Tundra".

He took out the "navigation compass", checked his location against the map, and then said to his companions: "There is a certain deviation in the teleportation location, and it is still 30 miles away from Evelyn's residence."

"It's only 30 miles, and the deviation is not too big!"

Holden smiled optimistically.

"The scenery here is nice. We're exhausted after a whole day of tossing around, so we might as well camp here and continue our journey tomorrow, or call Evelyn to pick us up."

Blood moss, the moss that grows in the underground world, is a particularly contradictory plant.

The blood moss hates sunlight by nature, but throughout its life, it emits a faint red phosphorescence.

The existence of blood moss adds a touch of bright color to the dark and monotonous underground world, but this kind of plant is not only beautiful, but also dangerous.

When King Fungus learned that Qiao An and the others planned to travel to the "Blood Tundra", he specially reminded them: "Blood moss is a plant that can be admired from a distance. Don't reach out and touch it."

The blood moss has a fluffy texture, like a loose piece of fermented dough, with countless tiny holes filled with red phosphorescent spores.

Once subjected to a violent collision, or just a gust of wind, the blood moss will eject the spores in its body, and disperse into a cloud of glowing red spores in the air.

These beautiful-looking spores, if inhaled accidentally, will irritate the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract, choking people to cough non-stop, as painful as having asthma.

Joan picked up a stone and threw it into the distance.

The stone fell into a large area of ​​thick bloody moss, and after a muffled puff, a large number of spores rose into the air, converging into a shining red cloud in the air.

Joan didn't want to personally verify how these beautiful spores would irritate the respiratory tract, so he quickly used a "wind-making technique" to blow away the cloud of spores that filled the air.

"Mr. Vader, I have a good idea."

The dwarf mage Belrin stared at the red cloud blown away by the wind, his round black eyes gleaming.

"Maybe we can collect some blood moss spores and use them to make alchemy bombs—the kind that can choke people to death when thrown out."

"In our expedition team, it's exciting enough to have a mage with excess curiosity, and it's a bit overwhelming to have another one."

Holden smiled wryly and put on the gas mask.

"Before you start developing the 'choking bomb', can you find a suitable place to camp first, so that we won't all be choked to death by blood moss spores."

"It's a trivial matter, leave it to me!"

Belling jumped up excitedly, took out a small ball of fat from the storage bag, and skillfully made a spell-casting gesture.

Joan guessed what he wanted to do with just one glance, and hurriedly turned around and waved at Hailaer and Zion, telling them to stay away!

"Púréa!"

Belling created a large area of ​​fuel oil out of thin air, like black raindrops, pattering down on the bloody tundra.

After Qiao An urged his teammates to evacuate, he looked back and saw that this crazy little guy was waving his arms and trying to throw a torch towards the area where the fuel was sprayed.

boom!

The dry and fluffy blood moss was already flammable, but with the help of oil, it suddenly burned violently.

Immediately afterwards, what Joan was most worried about happened.

The large tundra soaked in fuel burned violently, and the heat wave turned into a turbulent air current, spreading thick smoke and a large number of spores to the surroundings.

The smoke and dust spread to Belling, the instigator, in a blink of an eye, causing him to cough repeatedly, with snot and tears streaming down his face, as if he had been sprayed with pepper spray.

Joan quickly put his gas mask on Belling's face, and then turned into a "bee man" form, grabbed Belling's back collar, carried him into the air, and flew to other places before the smoke spread. A safe zone where your companions are.

"Do you really think...it's a good idea to take Belling on the journey together?"

Audrey couldn't hide her regret in her words.

"For the sake of two pounds of magic crystals, I can barely bear it. I hope this little guy will stop doing such crazy things."

Hailar smiled wryly.

Although Mr. Belling's method was a little rough and caused some unexpected situations, fortunately, his good intention was finally realized.

There is only a thin layer of moss attached to the surface of the wasteland, which is very unburnt. After just half an hour, the violent prairie fire extinguished itself, leaving a large area of ​​scorched earth smoking black smoke.

On this piece of scorched earth, the blood moss and spores were completely burned by Belling, so it was indeed a good place for camping.

Joan and his party set up a tent, set up a campfire, and boiled water for cooking.

Everyone ate and drank around the campfire and chatted casually.

Belling, who has just joined the team, naturally became the topic of conversation tonight.

Belling was also frank and did not hide his origin.

He comes from the hometown of subterranean gnomes, "Sudeli Stone City". He claims to be the youngest disciple of the city's chief mage, "The All-Knowing" Alves, and a level 8 "Illusionist".

"Illusionists" are mages who specialize in the illusion school.

Among the eight schools of Austrian law, the illusion school is relatively unpopular. Mages who specialize in this school belong to the minority from Leiden College to Midgard University.

But in gnome society, illusionist is a mainstream arcane profession.

This is mainly because gnomes have a racial talent for learning and comprehending illusions. Not only are they rich in "Illusionists" and warlocks with illusion blood, but even civilians who do not have extraordinary professions can also perform wonderful illusion tricks.

Enthusiasm for illusion and alchemy is a cultural tradition of dwarf society.

On the plus side, this tradition helps spread magical lore and encourages invention.

But from a bad point of view, the dwarves are rich in thieves and fraudsters, and it seems that they are also inseparable from their cultural tradition of using illusion and alchemy for profit.

Belling is not only a genius of illusion, but his mind is also full of unrealistic fantasies. He often does crazy things without thinking about the consequences - this character trait can be seen from when he set fire to the blood moss just now .
