Chapter 703: The Magical Fungiman
Mushroom people are a very typical public ownership system, with colonies or associations as units, especially in villages, there is a clear division of labor, which can be divided into hunter associations, explorer associations, sower associations, builder associations, and cultivator associations.
Needless to say, the sower association and the builder association.
The former is responsible for growing mushrooms all over the world. The mushroom trees in most areas are free-range, and they don’t care if they are planted. Anyone can eat them. The other is the exclusive mushroom field in their village, which is standard intensive cultivation. Fertilize, but their fertilizer is not just excrement, but also the corpses brought back by hunters, which can be used as fertilizer for their fungal crops.
The latter is to build the living places of mushroom people. They also dig caves, but they are not as professional as mountain dwarves and subterranean gnomes.
The Cultivator Association is responsible for cultivating new mushroom people. Of course, the mushroom people are grown in the ground in the form of spores. The new mushroom people are only a few inches tall and have no consciousness. They are no different from ordinary large mushrooms. But it only takes a few weeks, and they will turn into cute little mushroom people running around the world. Apart from being too curious, these little mushroom people are the most obedient children.
Due to the simplicity of childbearing and long lifespan, in order to prevent overpopulation, mushroom people have a very strong concept of family planning, and the birth time and number of each wave of small mushroom people are strictly controlled.
Generally speaking, they cultivate the little mushroom people, not only for the continuation of the race, but because they feel that the current life is too boring and monotonous. Let these little mushroom people be the condiment of life, even if it is bragging, facing the new ones who can reveal Wouldn't it be more fulfilling for people who worship their eyes?
In other words, having a baby is for playing.
Sean saw great potential in the unique way of giving birth to mushroom man.
What is the leader of Yong Ye lacking the most?
Population!
Mushroom man, that is also a human being!
The City of Shadows is too small to accommodate more mushroom people, but the Eternal Night Army has a vast area.
In the Andes Mountains, there are large sections of karst landforms and a large number of underground caves, which can become excellent settlements for the mushroom people.
Not to mention that Sean now has a Jedi artifact like the Digger Worm in his hands. It shouldn't be too easy to build a dungeon suitable for them to live in.
They are also suitable as staff for some jobs that are planned to be underground in the future, such as the subway.
It seems that it is necessary to train some army adjutants who are engaged in the ideological education of the leaders of the Eternal Night Army first, and carry out positive and correct ideological education for these people who lack life goals and are loose and free, so that they can become the leaders of the Eternal Night Army. part of the family.
It doesn't matter if the thinking of adult mushroom people is not easy to change, isn't there still those little mushroom people?
Anyway, mushroom people grow very fast, it only takes six years from birth to adulthood.
Once the restriction is released, they are like mushrooms after the summer rain, whizzing out.
The remaining two associations are more interesting in Sean's view.
Among them, the Explorers Association is a typical non-mainstream gathering place for mushroom people with a relatively homely personality. It is composed of a small group of mushroom people who are interested in exploration, and they spend all day doing nothing in the city of shadows with simple weapons. After all, this place is too small, they probably trampled it to death long ago, so there is no danger for them to explore.
In Sean's opinion, this group of mushroom people should be the most inspiring and easy to use for themselves, which is destined by their restless curiosity.
Therefore, when Xiao En went to each mushroom man colony, he paid special attention to collecting information about these people. Not to mention, he collected a lot of good seeds, and when he needed them, he absorbed and assimilated them in the first wave.
The hunter association is the professional fighting department of the mushroom man, which is the group of people led by Baba Jin that he saw earlier.
Their concept of kindness runs through to their hunting.
Usually, they are not so much hunting as they are quietly tracking their prey. They rarely use active means to hunt and kill, but quietly wait for their prey to die and collect their bodies.
To put it simply, we don't kill, but we can boil you to death.
In the underground world, there are really few people who can live better than mushroom people. In theory, they have a life span of thousands of years, after all, they are plants.
But very few mushroom people live to that age, because over time, some mushroom people despise reality as too boring, and will indulge in thoughts all the year round, and in the end they really turn themselves into a big mushroom.
This kind of mushroom is called Tong Nian Mushroom, and it is surrounded by a Tong Nian dream all the year round, and the soul consciousness of the mushroom man lives in this Tong Nian dream.
Other myconites can access this telekinetic dream through telepathy.
If other creatures accidentally get close to the telepathic mushroom, they must fight against the telepathic mushroom. Once the confrontation fails, the fun will be great, and their souls will be pulled into this telepathic dream.
The creatures who are unfortunately dragged into the dream of communication can negotiate with the owner of the dream of communication, so that they can take the initiative to let their soul consciousness leave.
If the kind souls have never had any malice or threat to the Tongian mushrooms, the kind and simple mushroom people usually leave them in the Tongian dreamland as guests for a period of time, tell a few stories, and communicate with each other, and then let them go.
The premise of this is that the mushroom man's consciousness is still intact, and he has not become a mushroom in his dream.
If it's an evil soul, don't even think about it, no matter whether the other party's soul consciousness has turned into a mushroom, he can't find it.
When the creature that was dragged into the dream of communication dies, it will naturally become the nutrient for the growth of mushrooms of communication, and even its soul consciousness will become a part of the dream of communication.
If one day in the dark area, you encounter a mushroom forest full of bones, luxuriant growth, but few creatures, unless you are particularly confident in your own strength, it is best to take a detour.
Because there is very likely one, or even several thriving psychic mushrooms, this place has been completely shrouded in its psychic dream.
Usually by the time the intruder realizes it is too late.
As for leaving by killing the soul consciousness of the mushroom man in the dream of communication, it is theoretically possible, but the possibility of doing so is extremely slim.
It's like someone wants to enter Sean's consciousness space and kill him, it's absolutely a fantasy.
In that world, they are like gods.
Most of the people who were dragged into it had weaker soul consciousness than them, so how could it be possible to kill them, unless the soul consciousness of the two parties was very different, and they forcibly broke in and killed them.
If it really has this strength, it doesn't need to be so troublesome at all, just directly destroy its physical body humanely.
There are very few mushroom mushrooms in the wild, and most of them grow in mushroom colonies.
Even if there is an accidental growth outside the colony, if it is discovered by the mushroom man, a new colony will be established around it.
Not only because it is a natural defense facility, it can resist the sneak attacks of many intruders.
It is also because he has a natural vision dream, which is convenient for them to log in.
Not all mushroom people have the ability to create telepathic dreams.
Underage mushroom people are not capable of entering telepathic dreams.
Ordinary adults can only log in to ready-made telepathic dreams, but they have no ability to create corresponding telepathic dreams.
Once they have the ability to create telepathic dreams, they will immediately break away from the category of ordinary adult mushroom people and be crowned the title of mushroom kings.
It is not uncommon for multiple mushroom kings to appear in one colony.
But in every colony association, there must be a fungus king.
If there is no mushroom king, the colony association will automatically migrate and merge into the tribe that has the mushroom king recently, or send mushroom people to other colony associations to find a mushroom king and come back to serve as the supreme leader of the colony.
In the original words of the people, how do you live without the Internet, ahem, without communication?
Sean agrees with this point.
There are classic examples on the Internet in the previous life. If those nerds and nerds are given a computer and a network cable, they can stay home forever.
If the network cable is cut off, they will go crazy within a few days.
Fungi people are definitely severe home sick patients. Apart from having to work, they spend the rest of their time in dreaming, and adults have at least eight hours a day.
The more he knew about the lifestyle of the mushroom people, the more curious Sean was about this telepathic dream.
It is a must to enter it and experience it.
The result really shocked Sean.
Dreaming through dreams has the same effect as Sean's consciousness space, and they are both consciousness communication networks built on the basis of consciousness.
The only difference is that Xiao En is maintained by sending energy through the magic circuit.
The dream of the mushroom man's telepathy is maintained through the telepathic spores, which is in a dream-like state.
Different builders have different dreams.
Some telepathic dreams are a larger colony, and the mushroom people who enter it all have different jobs or lifestyles, and build more buildings of different styles that are inconvenient to build in reality. Most of them are still mushroom buildings. The mushroom people who build this kind of dream Wang, is a typical construction enthusiast.
Some are more complex and dark areas, where mushroom people can experience the life of adventure, and there will even be a large number of unique underground monsters, mushroom people can try to track, crusade, or be hunted down, etc. The owner of this dream, Either hunting enthusiasts or adventure enthusiasts.
Others are to build a sunny forest life, and the fungus who enters it can enjoy the sunbath leisurely here. This mushroom man is probably full of yearning for life on the ground.
Floating island dreams, breeding dreams, etc.
Even if the dreams constructed by each Mushroom King or Tongmen Mushroom are similar in style, there are differences in details.
This is entirely up to the builder's preference.
The specific situation in the read-through dream is obviously limited by their imagination and knowledge. Many mushroom kings with insufficient abilities have to copy the surrounding environment to give people a feeling of deja vu.
Some even have multiple dreams, and they can travel back and forth between different dreams, provided that the telepathic spores released by the mushroom man king have overlapping areas.
I just don't know if my consciousness space can be integrated with the dream of the mushroom man.
If it can, the value of mushroom man will be greatly increased.
Even spreading the network all over the world can be saved, just pass the main pipeline directly, and then dig underground settlements suitable for mushroom people in each city, just open the wifi of the spores, and everyone can log in to the consciousness network anytime, anywhere.
Even if they can't, it doesn't matter, these mushroom kings are all ready-made dreamers, masters in constructing virtual worlds, they only need to expand their horizons and thinking, and the construction of different worlds in the consciousness space will be settled.
I believe the Mushroom Kings must be very interested in this matter.
The simple and kind mushroom people never imagined that what they were entertaining in the past few days was a demon in a lawful and kind coat, who was thinking about how to squeeze their bones and drink their blood to extract the last remaining value.
The second largest race in the City of Shadows is the subterranean gnomes, with a total population of around 3,000.
Their personalities are as kind as the mushroom people, but they are a little withdrawn and solitary.
They are the best underground diggers and builders, and they are different from the mushroommen who transform the existing caves to suit their own living appearance.
Most of the caves where the subterranean gnomes lived were excavated by themselves, so they were very planned.
A standard subterranean gnome village consists of 200 to 500 people. There are two entrances and exits placed in the open, one main and one secondary. There are different numbers of secret escape exits in order to defend against threats from the dark.
Walk along the main passage for at least one kilometer to reach the underground gnome village.
This main passage is the first line of defense for the subterranean gnomes, and it is full of dense labyrinths and various traps used to confuse people.
Every adult subterranean gnome is a master of traps, who will make full use of the terrain and quickly arrange exquisite traps to make up for their own lack of combat power.
If you want to capture the underground gnome village head-on, you must first engage in an authentic guerrilla warfare with their elite squad.
After passing through the main passage, what you see is a large underground square. This is the main place for underground gnomes to meet and trade. The circle of caves around the square is not a residential area, but a serious one. Commodity store.
When Xiao En first entered Heihao Village, he was really taken aback by the buzzing scene here, like going to a big market. The atmosphere of life is full, regardless of the special environment in which he lives, and the appearance of underground gnomes. very similar.
With the underground plaza as the center, there are at least eight passages, and behind them are connected three-dimensional residential areas, which can accommodate at least a dozen or as many as twenty subterranean gnome families. , is a specialized fungal self-cultivation land, and every residential area must have a secret escape route in case of emergency.
This design is also to prepare for battle.
Once the subterranean gnome villages are captured, these residential areas can block the entrances, temporarily seal themselves, or escape through secret passages, or stand on their own for a period of time if they have to.
Most of the villages of subterranean gnomes are tailor-made according to their own height, which is very unfriendly to ordinary humans.
Unfortunately, Sean used the energy avatar, which can adjust his height freely.
This unintentional move made many deep dwarves feel good about him, and it was always easier to accept people who were not so different from him.
Cats have catwalks, and dogs have dogwalks.
Even the weakest creatures have their own way of survival.
This is most vividly displayed in the subterranean gnomes.
Their individual strength may be weak, but they have their own way of survival.
"Mr. Pei Di, I heard before that you are masters of underground construction, and today I saw that you really deserve your reputation." Xiao En sincerely admired.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your praise. This is our way of life." Village Chief Pei Di said with a bit of complacency and expectation, "I don't know, Your Excellency, how do you think about our proposal? I I can assure you that everyone here is the best builder, and I promise to renovate your mage tower beautifully."
