Chapter 139 138 Mushroom Tribute

Chapter 139 138. Mushroom Gift

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the midsummer heat permeated the entire wetland. During the day, Lu Yu looked at the swamp scenery in the distance with some distortion.

Such intense heat caused a large number of beasts and monsters to reduce their activity time during the day. They huddled in their lairs one by one, waiting for nightfall before going out for activities.

Fortunately, the place where the mushroom man was was shaded by a patch of ancient trees, otherwise Lu Yu would have felt like he was living in a sauna.

Previously, he and the mist demon went to the distant swamp area to look for traces of other intelligent creatures living there. In just one or two hours, Lu Yu was exhausted.

Too hot and humid weather can quickly reduce people's desire for activity, not to mention the heavy physical burden caused by constant replenishment of water.

This reminded Lu Yu of a joke made by a shady netizen he saw while surfing the Internet.

It is said that a northerner read a history book and saw that the unified dynasty often suffered heavy losses in suppressing rebellions in the south, so he felt that the leading general was a noob.

Lu Yu answered his questions with personal experience.

In this environment, the use of troops in the south is basically limited to a period of time after the autumn harvest. Once the war situation reaches a stalemate, let alone the issue of fighting and marching, you will be lucky if your soldiers do not fall one by one due to weather and climate reasons.

Lu Yu, who has never felt acclimated to this world since he came to this world, has been in poor health recently. It is too hot and humid here, and it is too hard for people like Lu Yu who grew up in a relatively "soft" environment.

Sigrid was not much better. As a demi-human with dragon blood, her physical fitness should be extremely strong, but even she showed signs of being unable to do what she wanted.

"The elves have said before that the environment is the natural enemy of most intelligent races. This really makes sense." Sigrid wiped her sweat while teaching the mushroom man how to build equipment.

At first, no one thought the wetland environment was very bad. But when they started to realize it, their bodies had been affected.

Sigrid could still build equipment, but Lu Yu was in no mood to move anyway. The mushroom people took turns to bring clear spring water to Lu Yu, the mist demon boiled it, and Lulutis added some picked herbs, and then she could barely Let Lu Yu not feel so uncomfortable.

Originally, Lu Yu planned to set off immediately after simply building a defense for the mushroom people, regardless of whether they could find an intelligent race through them. But now the plan has changed.

If we want to find a way out of here, we must at least wait until summer is over. Otherwise, given the cannibalistic environment here, Lulutis and the Mist Demon will be fine. He and Sigrid will most likely fall into coma on the way.

The mushroom people didn't realize that Lu Yu was uncomfortable because he couldn't adapt to the environment. They just thought that their gods needed to rest, so they specially sent several small mushrooms to wait for Lu Yu's call.

Lu Yu slept on the simple wooden bed that Sigrid had built for himself. He sighed as he looked at the mushroom people building their homes not far away.

"Why are you sighing? Come on, open your mouth."

Lu Yu moved the backpack that was used as a pillow behind his head, adjusted it to serve as a backrest, and sat up.

He declined Lulutis' offer of feeding and took the bowl from her hand.

Lu Yu drank it without even looking at what was in the bowl.

A bitter smell rushed into his nose. Lu Yu, who was wearing a mask of pain, quickly waved to Xiao Mushroom, who immediately brought a small wooden cup filled with water.

After gargling, the bitter taste has not faded away. Instead, it is like extremely spicy chili sticking to the throat, constantly releasing a strong stimulating sensation, constantly reminding you of its existence.

He wanted to vomit, but couldn't. Seeing a bunch of small mushrooms staring at him, Lu Yu was embarrassed to act so embarrassed, so he could only endure it.

"What's it this time?" Lu Yu returned the bowl to Lulutis.

"An herb called snakebell has a very bitter taste and a strong stamina. The bitterness will last for a long time, but is it effective..."

"Do you feel less dizzy now?"

After Lulutis mentioned this, Lu Yu did feel that he was not so groggy, and his headache was relieved a little.

"The mist demon and I finally found it for you and Sigrid. It's not easy to find so many serpentine bellflowers in this wetland. Boil a bowl of it a day and drink more water. You can It’s not that uncomfortable anymore… But you’re right, we can’t leave here before the weather gets cooler. If you two fall on the road, the mist demon and I can’t drag you forward.”

"Keep taking the medicine and wait until the mushrooms put up the fence. You and Sigrid will guard the house. The mist demon and I will go out again to see if there is anything else to gain. You and Sigrid, two flesh-and-blood people, Body, please be taken care of here and don’t be brave.”

Only at this time would Lu Yu envy Lulutis and the Mist Demon. One of them has an amazing body, while the other has no body at all, and the probability of being affected by the environment is extremely low.

Maybe this is the so-called weakness of flesh and blood.

The mushroom man's wall is almost completed. The thick wall gives every mushroom a strong sense of security. While they are constructing, they do not forget to "grab the land with their face" from Lu Yu and others before going to bed every night.

Lu Yu has never been used to the shamelessness of these mushrooms expressing their gratitude and admiration, but there is no way to correct it now, after all, the first step of building the wall is not over yet.

Lulutis, the supervisor, will carefully assess the quality of the walls every day. If they fail, they will be demolished and rebuilt the next day.

After a few consecutive times, even if the mushroom man is less efficient, he will try his best to build the wall stable and solid, making it difficult for Lulutis to find faults.

After Sigrid made a large number of tools, the big mushrooms who had learned to use the spear and shield earlier had begun to learn new tools from Sigrid.

These big mushrooms used the mucus secreted from their hands to stick to the hammers firmly, imitating Sigrid's movements and swinging the war hammers.

Looking at the increasingly fierce hammering movements of the mushrooms, Lu Yu felt that if there were really blind monsters who wanted to experience the power of these mushrooms, they would definitely suffer a great loss.

The third-level earth blade made by the mushroom chief was barely usable.

After a period of communication, the mushroom chief had begun to understand some of the expressions and movements of the "gods", as well as the meaning of some strong words.

Lu Yu clearly saw that when Lulutis commented that the third-level earth blade was "so bad that it impressed me", the mushroom chief was stunned for a few seconds. He was delighted at first, and then after carefully observing Lulutis's rhythmically dancing tentacles, he became a little lost and panicked.

Interestingly, the mushroom people's understanding of them is getting higher, and they have only lived here for a short time.

The differences between races are becoming smaller because of the actions that mushroom people imitate.

Although they have not deliberately taught mushroom people their own language, through the accumulation of body language, mushrooms have gradually confirmed the meaning of some languages.

For example, the simplest "this", "good", "bad".

This is also one of the reasons why Lu Yu is more and more convenient to command the little mushroom people to do things for him. He only needs to point to an object and then point to related objects, and he can often get what he wants.

Even if he is wrong, with the accumulated experience, the little mushrooms can react quickly according to different actions.

The sound of construction is always annoying, and the constant moving of stones and mud to build walls, the mushrooms' throwing and smashing actions always make a lot of noise.

For patients like Lu Yu, it's nothing, anyway, they can fall asleep.

But for the monsters and beasts near the mushroom people's habitat, it's a different feeling.

The weather is hot, and the monsters here have changed their rest time to daytime.

This feeling is like you finally finish your 996 work schedule and plan to sleep in on Sunday, but your neighbor starts drilling the wall with an electric drill early in the morning, and the buzzing sound comes into your mind wave after wave. Even if you use headphones, the vibration and the anxiety that can squeeze in from the gaps in the music and the gaps between songs still make you angry.

At first, the monsters and beasts were restrained because there were several strange creatures that they had never seen before wandering around in the mushroom man's house, and they were in a posture of teaching the mushroom man.

Facing unknown enemies, they were extremely cautious and did not intend to conflict with them.

However, the weather was so hot that they could not stand it after everyone changed their schedule.

Many monsters would come out of their nests during the day, howling to the sky or howling wildly. The whole swamp and rainforest were filled with these anxious calls, causing the creatures in the wetland to howl.

However, the threatening cries that came one after another did not stop the mushroom people's enthusiasm for building walls. At first, they were indeed trembling with fear when they heard these threatening cries, but when they thought that the gods were by their side and watching them work closely, the mushrooms emerged with endless power.

What's so scary about the threats of a few monsters?

There are gods around us!

The mushroom chief even shouted a slogan: "Don't pay attention to those voices, just pay attention to the instructions of the gods."

So, the daily routine near the mushroom people's habitat is, you howl yours, I build mine, everything is the same as before.

Lu Yu and Sigrid were very puzzled. It should be midsummer, and it shouldn't be the time for monsters and beasts to mate and reproduce. Why do they howl so shrilly every day?

Sigrid thought for a long time and explained to Lulutis and Lu Yu: "Maybe it's caused by the unique ecological environment of the wetland."

That's okay, the continuation of life is sacred and must be respected.

Lu Yu took out the earphones that came with his mobile phone when he traveled through time, put them in his ears, and continued to sleep happily.

The fog demon continued to transform and guide the mushrooms to build the wall.

Lulutis continued to train several mushroom people who were learning magic.

Sigrid continued to make equipment "clang clang clang", and cut wood and cut wood boards with the mushroom people.

Between sunrise and sunset, the last wall of the wall facing the swamp was also completed.

Lu Yu stood by when the wall was completed, and even personally worked with the mushroom people to tamp down this last wall.

It was airtight and there was no hole. Lu Yu felt very relieved behind the wall.

When a few simple towers were built later, it would be easier to check the status of the surroundings, and then he would feel more at ease.

At the moment of completion, the mushroom people who practiced using tools and making tools with Sigrid also jumped up with the mushrooms who were building the wall, raised their hands to the sky, and mumbled something.

Looking at the "little umbrella" jumping up and down, Lu Yu, Lulutis, the fog demon, and Sigrid suddenly felt a sense of joy and even pride.

The little mushrooms who had been taking care of Lu Yu when he was sick even reached out to Lu Yu for a hug in a happy atmosphere. Lu Yu smiled and picked them up, pinching their soft faces one by one.

The mushroom people were still very excited after nightfall. They gathered around the bonfire that imitated Lu Yu and others and took out the fermented...drinks hidden in the tree hole?

The fermented drinks were gulped down by the big mushrooms, while the small mushrooms were given some sticky, half-rotten fruits.

These things that Lu Yu thought could only be thrown into the trash can were the best things that the mushrooms could enjoy.

Lu Yu found that the way the mushrooms distributed supplies was very interesting.

At this moment worth celebrating, the big mushrooms gave all the supplies to the young mushrooms.

Of course, the mushrooms did not forget to offer gifts to the "gods".

Four strange bowls made by Sigrid, with unpolished edges and corners, were filled with clear stream water.

According to the "special ceremony" of the gods, the water was boiled before being offered.

Some fresh fruits that the little mushrooms didn't know where they picked up were stacked in containers like ladles.

A large bowl of fresh, tender leaves that had just been picked.

The mucus formed by the rotting and fermentation of unknown objects.

And... after Lu Yu came here, he pointed at the cluster of mushrooms and other fungi that Lu Lutis asked if he could eat.

After the mushrooms became familiar with some basic languages, they recalled Lu Yu's action and realized that "this" was equal to "what the gods want", so they immediately placed these mushrooms in the middle as the most precious gifts.

The things were not precious, but they were the best that the mushroom people could prepare for their gods.

After offering their gifts, the mushroom people quietly waited for Lu Yu and his actions and observed their expressions.

Lu Yu did not hesitate this time. He first went up to take away the bowl of fruit, shared the fruit with Lu Lutis and the others, and then each took a bowl of water.

As for the fungi... they could only accept them. Although they were not sure whether they could eat them, this was obviously a gift of the highest standard carefully prepared by the mushrooms. If they did not take it, they would be uneasy.

As for those rotten and fermented things, Lu Yu asked the little mushrooms who often helped him and Lu Lutis to come over and gave one portion to each mushroom.

Seeing this scene, the other little mushrooms opened their eyes wide, and the big mushrooms immediately chose to grab the ground with their faces...

After the rotten things were distributed, the leaves were distributed by Lulutis to the remaining little mushrooms.

Seeing the mushroom people rejoicing and twisting their bodies like drunken people, Lu Yu felt that his response as a "god" was perfect this time.

However, there were still mushrooms staring at the fog monster, because they found that the other gods started to enjoy the gifts after receiving them.

Only the fog monster did not move.

The fog monster was about to cry.

"What should I do then?"
