Chapter 132 131. The God of Mushrooms
After finding a place to open up and search around, Lu Yu and his party immediately started building a communication circle after confirming that there were no particularly powerful monsters around.
They need to know how far this transmission traveled.
While Lulutis was waving her tentacles and trying to carve out the magic circle, she suddenly felt that the ground seemed to be shaking slightly.
This was not an illusion, because Sigrid had also felt something approaching here.
"It doesn't feel like a very strong monster. I can only smell a little bit of magic, but it seems to be quite a lot."
After saying that, the mist demon took the initiative to float out and collect information for everyone.
After a while, she flew back.
"There are so many mushrooms, colorful and densely packed, jumping here and there. It's so spectacular."
Finally, she added: "Isn't it because Lu Yu snatched snacks from others that something happened?"
When a child is bullied, it is natural for a parent to step forward. This is very reasonable.
But this is completely a misunderstanding!
A large number of mushroom people poured out from all directions, surrounding Lu Yu and his party who were carving a magic circle in the center.
The largest of these mushrooms is as tall as Lu Yu, and the smallest is estimated to be only the size of a basketball.
As a mushroom man with purple dots on the blue umbrella appeared, the mushroom men surrounding Lu Yu made way for him.
Lu Yu discovered that even the eyes of mushroom people with the same size as him were still a thin slit, and their eyes were slanted, resembling the emojis of ancient times, either /_\ or \_/ , either looking frustrated or angry, it’s hard to think of anything else.
The big mushroom man with the blue umbrella had a dejected look on his face and looked extremely listless. Seeing him move in front of him little by little, Lu Yu always felt like a social animal crawling out of bed in the middle of the winter and going to work numbly. déjà vu.
"It seems that he is the leader of this group of mushroom people." Lulutis reminded.
"I don't feel that I'm very strong... But in the final analysis, we bullied other people's children, so we can't beat them up again, right?" Lu Yu said, "How can we express our apology when we can't communicate?"
"Cross-racial communication is very difficult. Body movements cannot effectively convey information, and you don't know whether the other party can understand the graphics you draw."
Seeing the leader of the Mushroom Tribe approaching step by step, Sigrid had already put on her equipment and was ready to strike hard.
Even if it was a misunderstanding before, they were wrong in the first place. If they can't communicate, they can only make mistakes...otherwise, they can't be beaten passively.
The wind magic in Lu Yu's hand has been mobilized, and he nervously watched every move of the leader of the mushroom people.
"Snapped."
The leader of the mushroom people suddenly grabbed the ground with his face and made a muffled sound.
Seeing the movement of the mushroom people leader, Sigrid flew directly in front of Lu Yu and Lulutis. Seeing this scene, her raised fist froze in mid-air.
Lu Yu and Lulutis were even more confused, because they clearly saw that all the mushroom people around them were following the leader of the mushroom people to grab the ground with their faces. It was really painful to watch.
"Lulu, explain." Lu Yu poked Lulutis.
"Explain what?"
"Is this a special custom of mushroom people?"
Lulutis said: "I don't know. As I said before, I have never dealt with mushroom people in Mera Continent, but it seems... they have no ill intentions towards us."
Several little mushroom men quietly raised their heads and peeked at them.
But they were immediately reminded of something by the mycelium spitted out by the mushroom man next to them, and they lowered their heads again.
Lu Yu, who was confused about the situation, had no choice but to pick up a wooden stick and poke the leader of the mushroom people who lay motionless on the ground.
The leader of the mushroom people raised his head slightly, saw Lu Yu looking at him, and immediately slapped his face on the ground again.
"Hey, hey, are you really not in pain? Don't be like this!"
Lu Yu has never been so speechless since he came to this world.
What's the matter? Are they too ugly or too scary? Why don't these mushroom people dare to look at me?
Lu Yu didn't move, and neither did the mushroom man. The two sides were in a stalemate.
The strange calm was broken by the mushroom man later.
These belated mushroom people brought containers woven with mycelium, which contained a large number of semi-rotten fruits, leaves, dead branches, and unknown substances that were dissolved into mucus. The "enchanting" scent of breath.
As soon as they appeared, they went straight to the leader of the mushroom people, put the container in their hands on the ground, faced Lu Yu, and lay down.
Lu Yu could see that they were mumbling something while lying down, but he couldn't understand it!
The mist demon, which turned into a big mushroom and floated in the air, finally came to grips with it.
"They offer their food to you, as if they are making a sacrifice."
The mist demon's words reminded Lulutis, and she carefully looked at the tributes presented by the late mushroom people. They were basically the mushroom people's favorite food.
In addition, there are even some eggs of unknown birds in the mycelium container, as well as some fermented juice with a slightly fruity aroma.
"They seem..." Lulutis hesitated for a while, and finally expressed her guess when she saw the mushroom man lying on the ground.
"They seem to regard us as their gods."
After a brief silence, the corners of Sigrid's mouth twitched.
"The god of mushroom people should at least be a mushroom person... Do we look like mushrooms?"
"A race with only weak intelligence that has not yet created its own civilization often classifies power beyond its understanding as the power of gods." Lulutis said.
"When Sera was still a saint, she once helped a group of monsters with only a little intelligence in the wild. These monsters, like mushroom people, offered all their food and things they thought Sera would like."
"Sera told me at the time that those monsters worshiped her as a descended god because they could not understand her magic. According to the observations of the Church later, these monsters even carved a human-shaped totem to represent Sera, and regarded the things Sera took away that day as "the preferences of the gods", and would collect a bunch of them at certain times for sacrifice. "
Lu Yu looked at the mushroom people crawling around him and thought: "Could it be that our sudden appearance caused them to misunderstand?"
"The group of small mushrooms gave us leaves just because they were afraid, but when they got to the big mushrooms, it became a meaning of 'the gods came and accepted the gifts'."
"The mushroom people who arrived first directly grabbed the ground with their faces. They were probably afraid that we would be angry. After all, the offerings were not ready, so they had to use this method to appease the 'anger of the gods'."
"Then Lulu, what should we do to make them stand up?" Lu Yu asked.
"It's simple." Lulutis pointed at the gifts given by the mushroom people, "Just accept these things."
"Their way of thinking is probably that the gods have come, but the offerings they gave them are not wanted, which proves that the gods are disgusted with them, and the mushroom people are about to face disaster."
"So you just need to take these things away and show them that you are satisfied with the offerings, and they will feel at ease."
Hearing this, Lu Yu walked towards the place where the offerings were placed suspiciously.
As expected, the mushroom men lying next to the offerings raised their heads slightly, and used their small eyes hidden under the umbrella to secretly glance at Lu Yu's movements, and then quickly lowered their heads.
After discovering this detail, Lu Yu also felt that what Lulutis said might be the correct operation, so he lifted up all the mycelium containers containing the offerings and walked back to Lulutis.
After realizing that the offerings were taken away, the mushroom man leader and several mushroom men who collected the offerings put their heads against the ground, pushed hard, and slowly returned to a standing position with their bent bodies.
The mushroom man leader was still very nervous, and dust kept falling on his umbrella, and he could be seen shaking.
Lu Yu saw that the mushroom men around him were still crawling. Just when he was about to say something, he realized that the conversation was ineffective, so he tried to open his arms and raised his hands to the mushroom man leader.
After repeatedly pointing to the mushroom men around him and repeating the action of raising his hands, the mushroom man leader finally took action.
The depressed expression engraved on the face of the mushroom man leader actually changed, and Lu Yu actually read the meaning of sadness and hesitation from it.
After a while, the mushroom man leader flicked his short hand and pointed to a big mushroom beside him.
The big mushroom that was pointed at did not hesitate, and resolutely walked forward, then knelt down with a plop, facing Lu Yu, and half bent his body.
Before Lu Yu figured out what this meant, he felt the breath of magic flowing from the mushroom man leader.
At the moment when the mushroom man leader's short hand with green light cut towards the big mushroom, Lulutis floated over and blocked the attack.
"What are you doing again!" Lu Yu was dumbfounded, "Why did you kill the mushroom just because of a disagreement!"
Lulutis said helplessly: "Your meaning was misunderstood. We all understand that you want other mushroom people to stand up, but the mushroom man leader thinks you want a bigger mushroom as a sacrifice."
Now Lu Yu and the mushroom people are like being sealed by Sayer's language. A slight deviation can make the misunderstanding very big.
After gesturing for a long time, the chief of the mushroom people finally understood that Lu Yu was very satisfied with the offerings and didn't need anything now.
The mushroom people stood up one after another, twisting their bodies, colliding with their companions around them, releasing a lot of powder.
"Can I understand that they are very happy?" Sigrid understood the current situation without any instruction.
Lu Yu had no choice but to use wind magic to sweep away the powder that floated over, and Lulutis was finally able to rest assured and continue to carve the magic circle.
The mushroom people did not leave, they were like the guards of Lu Yu and others, guarding all around.
Sigrid lit a fire to make something to eat, and was about to go out to find some dead branches, but the fog demon reminded her: "Why don't you try to get the mushrooms to help?"
As she said that, the fog demon picked up a dead branch on the ground and found the chief of the mushroom people not far away.
She first showed the dead branch to the chief of the mushroom people, and then turned it into an arrow pointing in the direction of Lu Yu.
With the order of the chief of the mushroom people, all the surrounding mushroom people went out.
Soon, Sigrid, who had cleaned up the ingredients, saw mushroom people carrying dead branches appear in front of her one after another, dropping them, and then leaving.
The hill of dead branches soon became taller than Sigrid.
Lu Yu and Lu Lutis saw the operation of the fog monster, and they thought that the fog monster could be used in this way!
In the case of language barriers, they wanted to convey their meaning through the fog monster, who was good at transformation.
Just display the main meanings you want to express graphically, and then correct the errors between the two.
The mushroom people around them still had no intention of leaving. After helping Sigrid collect dead branches, they were all eager to try, as if they were always waiting for help.
"They really look like the believers of the God of Glory that I have seen." Lulutis sighed while drawing the magic circle. "Everyone of them is waiting for the protection of the gods. Therefore, any tasks or orders issued by the Theocracy, The people below are all rushing to complete it, saying that this can prove that their faith is pious enough, so that the gods will favor them and protect their families. "
Lu Yu wanted to say something, which sounded so pitiful, but when the words reached his lips, he did not say them out.
After the magic power of the communication circle was injected, Lulutis quickly sent a message to Vanessa's cabin where Huo Gu was located, and to the Silver Maple Holy Theocracy where Sera was located.
The next step is to wait for a reply.
Sigrid, who kept putting food in her mouth, noticed something strange about the mushroom man.
"It seems like they've been watching us eat."
"Normally, they all think we are gods. They will carefully observe every move we make. Unless we express dissatisfaction, they will continue to watch."
"But I think they are very disappointed. Look at their expressions, they want to cry."
Hearing what Sigrid said, Lu Yu raised his head.
Really, these mushroom people looked aggrieved as they watched Lu Yu and his party feast, and their bodies looked a little shriveled.
Lulutis noticed the gaze of the leader of the mushroom people and reminded Lu Yu: "You left their offerings and ate your own dry food. They probably thought you disliked them."
"Pay attention, he regards us all as gods, not just me. Why do you always talk about me?"
Lu Yu glanced at the pile of offerings and saw that there was not a single one he could eat.
"If you don't like it, just dislike it. I cooperated with them before because I was afraid that they would swarm up and destroy the magic circle, and I didn't want to hurt them, so I just coaxed them."
While eating barbecue, Lu Yu said: "We are just passers-by. We can't protect them or provide miracles..."
The mushroom people suddenly became restless and jumped towards the leader of the mushroom people and Lu Yu.
The mist demon who was lazy because there was a mushroom man on guard suddenly shouted: "Sharp-toothed flower!"
The barbed vines of the Tooth Flower shot from a distance and were accurately tied to a mushroom man who had no time to jump away.
Before the big mushroom that had given Lu Yu an offering had time to react, it was dragged back quickly and was put into the mouth by the sharp-toothed flower.
When the incident happened suddenly, Lu Yu stood up and everything was over.
"How dare you kill my mushrooms!" Lu Yu was stunned for a few seconds, and became angry when he looked at the sharp-toothed flower that appeared in his field of vision waving its vines.
