Chapter 1080 Earth Seal
"His mind flayer masters were furious when they learned that Mancini had escaped. At the same time, they were also very afraid that Mancini would be used against them by others, so they chased and killed Mancini at all costs. After paying a great loss , and couldn’t really kill Mancini, and finally had to seal him secretly in the depths of the blood tundra.”
The insect master pointed to Joan's feet.
"For centuries, my friend Mancini has been imprisoned in the depths of the earth, out of sight of the sun."
"I have no ability to help Mancini lift the seal and regain his freedom. I have to manage the garden on his sealed land, because he has always liked those beautiful and harmless fungi and plants."
"Since having this garden, Mancini's mood has become much better. Besides, there are many residents here to accompany us, so that he is not alone, and the pain of losing his freedom is no longer so unbearable."
After listening to the insect master's story, Qiao An couldn't help being deeply moved by the sincere friendship between him and Mancini.
If possible, he would be more than happy to help Mancini lift the seal imposed by the mind flayers.
Of course, this is just a beautiful vision. With his current insignificant magic power, even if he wants to help, it is beyond his power.
Joan never writes "empty checks" for things that cannot be done now. So he didn't tell the worm master his thoughts, but just saved this idea, and when he has the ability to lift the seal in the future, he will come to help Mancini regain his freedom.
...
Joan didn't want to look too out of place, chatted with the insect master for a while, and after listening to him tell the story of "Moss Lord" Mancini, he bid farewell to him and returned to his friends.
Evelyn and Cosette, after leading everyone to visit the garden, it was getting late. They saw that the faces of their friends who came from afar were tired, and Hailar couldn't help but yawned one after another, so they arranged for everyone to rest in the guest room .
Joan's temporary residence is also a two-story mushroom house built on the base of the "giant mushroom".
Joan is very satisfied with this chic guest room, and the faint scent of nuts in the room also makes him feel relaxed and happy.
The window of the bedroom on the second floor is facing the house where Evelyn and Cosette live, and further away is the hill where Jules the "Bug Master" and Mancini the "Lord of Moss" live in seclusion.
Joan stood in front of the window and looked out. From a distance, he saw the mountaintop garden shining with fluorescent lights, as if the sky was full of stars.
Those flashing spots are actually the luminescent fungi and moss that the insect master cultivated in the mountain garden, and some strange stones used as garden decorations will also emit beautiful fluorescence in the dark.
Standing in front of the window and blowing the cold wind for a while, Joan's drowsiness was also blown away.
He took out the "Tears of God", dipped it into a water cup, brewed a cup of potion, took it to dispel fatigue, sat at the desk, and began to sort out the spoils he had collected on the blood tundra.
Joan first opened the backpack and took out a large pile of blood moss eggs.
This magic travel bag was rented by Joan from Mr. Locke. It is attached with 3 rings of "Shrinkage", and its real capacity is much larger than it appears on the surface.
Joan took out a total of 30 huge blood moss eggs from the backpack, half of which he and Belling found in the giant worm's lair, and some were specially given to him by Cosette when she learned that he was collecting eggs small gift.
Looking at these eggs, Joan remembered the blood moss worm he had subdued.
After an afternoon of persistent crawling, this guy finally arrived in Huayuan Township. He dug a hole near the "mushroom hut" where Joan lived, and he was curled up in the hole and sleeping soundly.
Joan was a little worried that the arrival of blood moss would destroy the peaceful life in Huayuan Township and even scare the local residents.
Fortunately, Cosette told him that there are actually some blood moss living near Huayuan Township, and they live in peace with the local goblins, mushroom people, and dwarves.
In fact, the existence of blood moss is indispensable for maintaining the ecological balance of Huayuan Township.
The blood moss worm feeds on blood moss as the main food, and by the way, it also captures the "moth rats" that are also good at digging holes.
If the local area lacks these scary-looking big bugs, the blood moss with super fecundity will grow wildly, not only crowding out the living space of other fungi and plants, but also emitting a large number of choking spores, causing serious air pollution .
In addition, the reproductive ability of "moth rats" is so strong that it is eye-catching. Nests of cubs dig holes everywhere, posing a great threat to house construction.
Residents of Huayuan Township, except for dwarves who occasionally eat meat, are either vegetarians like goblins, or "soil eaters" like mushroom people. They don't have enough manpower to hunt cunning moth rats, and after hunting, they just take the other. Fur, most of the moth rat meat was thrown away for nothing, it was a waste.
If the local area loses blood moss, the main force for hunting and eating moth rats, those "little villains" with big die teeth will become even more lawless.
All in all, bloodmoss has a much better reputation in Huayuan Township than moth rats, and is not even inferior to mischievous dwarves who love to play tricks and mess around all day long.
Cosette offered to help Joan take care of his giant worm pet, and thoughtfully said that she could take it to meet other blood moss worms living in the local area, and maybe she could make a "girlfriend".
In the future, Qiao An will leave Huayuan Township and return to the surface world. It is inconvenient to bring blood moss with her, so she can foster it here and ask the gentle and kind girl Moling to take care of it.
Blood moss has some benefits, but too much will not work, and it will also cause an unbearable burden on the ecological environment.
A very important daily job for Cosette and her elves is to inspect the various nests and monitor the population size of the blood moss.
If the number of blood moss worms is found to exceed the warning line, cast a spell to invisibly sneak into the nest, secretly take away the eggs in the nest, and move them to a distant place to hatch, so that the population of giant insects in Huayuan Township will always be maintained at a reasonable level. scale.
It was for this reason that when Cosette learned that Joanne needed insect eggs for research, she offered to help him collect insect eggs. Anyway, there was no shortage of these things.
In the past half a month, it happened to be in the breeding season of blood moss.
Cosette and her elves had to frequently go in and out of the insect nest as porters, removing an average of twenty or thirty eggs from the burrow every day.
For fairies who are petite and have little strength, this is an out-and-out heavy physical work!
If Joan needs it, starting tomorrow, these blood moss eggs can be given to him for free - just to save the goblins the trouble of moving the eggs to a distant place.
Joan certainly welcomes this.
His "swarm tactics" needed "ammunition" like "blood moss eggs", of course, the more the better!
