Chapter 134 133 Mushroom God's Intervention
Chapter 134 133. Intervention of the Mushroom God
Following the mushroom man who delivered food, Lu Yu saw the mushroom man's habitat.
The dense leaves of the ancient trees blocked the sky. It was noon, but there was only a little light in the mushroom man's habitat.
But it is also because of this that Lu Yu and others can enjoy the rare coolness in the hot weather.
A large number of mushrooms grow together with the big trees, layer upon layer, as if they have built a bunch of steps of different colors on the trees.
White and gray mycelium cover most of the ground here, but these mycelium are not slippery and sticky, but have a texture similar to wool. This made Lu Yu wonder, and he didn't know if it could be used to weave clothes. .
Even Lulutis, who has always been knowledgeable, has never seen such a style of mycelium and couldn't help but lean down to observe it carefully.
The mushroom people were overjoyed to see that the "gods" cared so much about mycelium. They got into the tree holes wrapped by mycelium and took out the mycelium of various colors.
Black, orange, and red were displayed in front of Lu Yu one after another.
Lu Yu first rubbed it with his hands, and then stretched the hyphae curiously. He found that the hyphae were very malleable and soft enough.
Several tentacles of Lulutis mixed the hyphae together, straightened them, and after testing them carefully, she excitedly said to Lu Yu: "It's surprising."
"Their mycelium is non-toxic and tough, and if treated properly, can even be used as a kind of fabric."
"Aren't all hyphae like this?"
"I have never heard of anyone making mycelium into cloth in the books. Basically, the records related to the mushroom people describe their mycelium as slippery, sticky, and slightly rotten filaments. ”
"The mushroom people here may be adapting to the environment, or they may be dealing with natural enemies. In short, their mycelium is completely different from what I know."
"Perhaps this is common sense in some places, but for me, and even the continent of Mela, this is a new discovery!"
Lu Yu didn't want to hit Lulutis. Reason told him that these hyphae had only been roughly stretched and tested, and more tests had not been arranged.
He had just keenly noticed that the hyphae on the side near the pool looked very slippery and bulging like a sponge filled with water.
If Lulutis likes to play with mycelium, let her go. Lu Yu chose to continue visiting the mushroom man's home.
I wanted to get into a tree hole, but the moment I leaned down, I saw the food residue dissolved by the mushroom man in the tree hole. The sticky liquid still reflected the shimmer, giving people a very fresh feeling.
The mushroom people behind them are all full of expectations, and the owner of the tree hole is ecstatic...
With no other choice, Lu Yu had no choice but to lower his head and dig in, groping here and there, looking here and there. After getting out of the tree hole, he turned his back calmly, condensed the water elements with simple water-attribute magic, and fiercely Scrubbing hands full of mucus.
In order not to hurt the hearts of these mushroom people, he had to ask Sigrid to help block them.
The mist demon clicked through and found that the mushroom people group was not large, with only sixty-seven mushrooms, only seven big mushrooms, and the rest were small mushrooms.
A large mushroom was preyed upon by the Sharptooth Flower, immediately reducing the population of this sparsely populated group by one-sixty-seventh, and reducing its adult combat strength by one-eighth.
As Lulutis said, it is often a miracle for this kind of group that has awakened some wisdom and magic to survive in the wild. , most of them could not wait for the next stage of awakening and evolution, and became the nourishment of other monsters.
Mushroom people of this size will disappear completely as long as they encounter the Sharptooth Flower a few more times, because they are not smart enough to leave words and patterns, and his existence will not be known.
Lu Yu saw a bunch of mushrooms growing together, with white and fat stipes and fleshy caps. The color was not so bright that one would suspect that one bite would lead to early bliss.
Curious, he turned to ask Lulutis.
"Will these mushrooms turn into Mushroom People?"
Lulutis smiled: "How is it possible? Mushroom people do evolve from mushrooms, but this does not mean that mushrooms can become mushroom people. This is an accident."
"The several known mushroom people rely on spores to reproduce. Most of them are asexual individuals. However, some scholars say that some mushroom people are both female and male. They are hermaphrodites and can give birth to new ones on their own. Mushroom Man.”
"I'm not a scholar, so I can't tell whether the Mushroom Man in front of us is asexual or hermaphrodite. But what is certain is that the Mushroom Man is made of big mushrooms. It's not something you can turn into just by seeing a pile of mushrooms on the roadside. Mushroom Man.”
Lu Yu decided to ask the mushroom man.
He asked the mist demon to first turn into a mushroom, and then slowly transform into a little mushroom man, while he pointed at the cluster of mushrooms with his finger.
The leader of the mushroom people quickly understood what Lu Yu meant, and based on the experience he summarized in previous exchanges that nodding is yes and shaking head is not, he chose to shake his head.
"I don't know if it's poisonous or not. Maybe we can have a taste?"
Lulutis, who was studying the mycelium, almost threw the mycelium away with her tentacles.
"Eating again... I really admire you. Maybe one day you encounter a major crisis and are about to die, you will also want to take another bite before you die." Lulutis complained.
Lu Yu thought about the scene described by Lulutis.
"If I'm really going to die, then I feel there's nothing wrong with having a bite before I die. I like beef very much. If I'm dying, remember to feed me a bite of charcoal-grilled beef. It's better to have some juice, not too dry."
Unable to keep up with Lu Yu's thinking mode, Lulutis would be thrown away by him every time he tried to follow. No matter what, he can always come up with some strange ideas, making you sigh "Why can't I think of such a thing".
Maybe this is the reason why Lu Yu's summons are stranger than one another. From the flesh and blood chariot to the demon-eating tree, none of them look like normal human aesthetics. Even if they are thrown to those races with naturally fierce looks, they will admit defeat and say that their appearance can still be saved.
Are all the people in Lu Yu's world like this?
When they see any rare goods, they always want to try them first, and their thinking is always very jumpy.
The tree hole of the mushroom man leader is the most spacious, which is also a little privilege for him as the leader of the tribe.
However, from the perspective of a truly intelligent race, this privilege is too pitiful. It means that they can live a little more comfortably, and nothing else.
Yas III shed tears, and the Goblin King shook his head repeatedly.
The chief of the mushroom people pointed at his tree hole with fear and trepidation, and stretched out his two short hands.
After repeating this action several times, Lu Yu realized that this meant that he was going to dedicate this residence to them.
Lu Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shook his head.
Since they all think they are gods, it's too strange for a god to rob his own people's residence.
The little mushroom people are basically six in a tree hole. When you lower your head, you can often see these little mushrooms like they are rooted in the ground, leaning against each other, and with their thin eyes, their expressions reveal a sense of comfort.
After a round, Lu Yu's only feeling is that the mushroom people's territory is too small, and the resources they can control are even more pitiful.
Leaves are not the first choice of mushroom people. They are already an evolved race and need a lot of energy. Leaves cannot meet the daily needs of mushroom people. Therefore, they spend most of the day looking for dead branches and leaves to fill their stomachs.
The little mushroom people are fine. They are small and can always be full by eating more leaves.
The mushroom people's chief said that these big mushrooms can only ensure that they maintain some daily activities by chewing leaves. Slightly more intense exercise will make the big mushrooms sluggish.
Fruits are naturally good things. Whether fresh or rotten, they can be eaten and decomposed by mushroom people.
However, the fact is that Sigrid is convinced that the trees in this area basically do not produce fruit based on the knowledge she obtained from the elves.
There are several fruit trees in the place where they just fell from the teleportation array.
Although that place is not far from here, there are monsters like sharp-toothed flowers that mushroom people cannot deal with. Asking them to go there to pick fruits to fill their stomachs every harvest season is tantamount to sending mushrooms.
The fog demon changed into the shape of tree fruit, then turned into a mushroom man standing under the fruit tree, and finally turned into a sharp-toothed flower.
Lu Yu hoped to ask the mushroom people through these patterns what means the mushroom people would use if there were enemies and they had to get food.
In order to prevent misunderstanding, Lu Yu also asked the fog monster to repeat the scene of them beating the sharp-toothed flower.
The chief of the mushroom people looked at each other and began to shake their bodies at the same time.
A large amount of powder fell from them. Lulutis collected some of it in her spare time and tried the potion in her backpack.
"It's just a paralysis effect. These mushrooms don't even have toxins. No wonder the sharp-toothed flower bullies them so arrogantly."
It can only paralyze but not produce effective killing. What kind of gentle monster is this.
Is there a way to be tougher so that other prey dare not covet your means?
After the mushroom people repeatedly watched the patterns of the fog monster's changes, the big mushrooms showed their grass-attribute magic.
The body of the chief of the mushroom people suddenly swelled a little, and the body transformed from the stem suddenly became more than twice as large.
Lu Yu, who understood it, quickly called a halt.
Fearing that his intention was not right, he pounced directly on the mushroom man leader.
The mushroom man leader was surprised to see his god flying over, and immediately deflated. He looked around at a loss like a child who had done something wrong.
Lu Yu did not expect that just showing his talent would almost make the mushroom man leader explode. These mushrooms are too stupid.
"It's not very powerful to self-destruct like this. At most, it will blow the surrounding monsters into slime and dust, and count the paralysis effect... a one-time must-hit restricted skill?"
Lulutis pointed out the shortcomings of this one-time skill very rationally. If the mushroom man could understand the evaluation of his god, he would probably want to bury the umbrella cap in the soil.
For ordinary races to survive, they either have an advantage in strength, wisdom, or some unique skills to protect themselves. Looking around, the mushroom man seems to have none of them.
Their birth was accidental, and their survival until now is due to luck. In this wetland, they have no chance to control their own destiny, and can only passively count the days. Once a powerful monster appears, they will all disappear.
Is there really no advantage at all?
"Huh?"
Lu Yu looked at a little mushroom man beside him who picked up leaves and stuck them on his short hands in surprise.
The little mushroom man kept his eyes on Sigrid. When Sigrid took a step, he moved a step. When Sigrid's shield-holding hand dropped, his short hand dropped with it.
Lu Yu's frown gradually relaxed. He picked up a branch and threw it to Sigrid, asking her to stand with a shield in one hand and a "gun" in the other.
The little mushroom man saw that Sigrid had new equipment, and quickly lowered his head and looked around on the ground.
Finally, he found a short branch, imitated Sigrid's movements, and stood still.
After carefully recalling Lu Yu's casual burning of leaves just now, they quickly understood and imitated...
"Yes, it's imitation."
According to Lulutis, the earliest magicians of mankind actually followed the slimes, felt their use of magic power, imitated the magic they used, and gradually stepped into the door of magic and created a new school.
Mushroom people do not have advantages in strength, talent, and skills, but at least they can imitate.
With some wisdom, they can acquire new knowledge from imitation and then feel new power.
Mushroom people who cannot use effective magic will learn how to use props to protect themselves and their homes, and mushroom people who can use magic will teach them suitable magic.
But before that, Lu Yu decided to help the mushroom people transform their living environment.
This habitat that can be attacked by enemies on all sides is really unpleasant.
"You don't want to teach these mushroom people to build fortifications, right? They have to face monsters. Those things are effective against wild beasts, but they are basically just decorations against monsters." Lulutis reminded.
"Not decorations."
"Monsters can't perform siege dramas. A low-level magic may destroy your fortifications."
Lulutis still thinks this idea is very strange, and wonders why Lu Yu, who is usually smart, can't figure it out.
"Lulu, the significance of building fortifications for mushroom people is to let them understand a kind of thinking mode that is difficult for them to form. What I want is not fortifications, but to let them understand that the act of building can bring a sense of security, and let them imitate this behavior and learn to expand the skills behind it."
"Once they adapt to this mode of thinking, they will cooperate with the built fortifications and match them with a powerful enough magic defense system. Your so-called monsters will smash the defense with a magic. It will become a thing of the past."
"When they have such a system, they will be different from the monsters around here... In other words, Lulu, we are shaping the future of a race. Don't you want to see what a race that worships us as gods will develop into after accepting our knowledge?"
