Chapter 226 Weird Ecology, Faith in the Sea of Trees
Mushroom tribe.
This is an amazing species.
Most of their bodies are humanoid and are used for living and eating.
But...their brains are parasitized by a special kind of mushroom, but it is not a forceful control relationship, but a mutually beneficial fusion.
【Brain Mushroom】
They have strong reproductive capabilities.
This kind of mushroom has extremely strong vitality and has the function of repairing body functions. Whenever the mushroom person's body is traumatized, it will help repair and heal.
Crucial moment.
Mushroom people will even twist off their own heads and bury them in the soil.
Soon... with the help of the brain mushroom, new flesh and blood will grow in the soil and gain a second life.
Mutual benefit and win-win.
Make up for each other.
The mushroom people have gained the ability to survive, and the brain mushrooms also have a better living environment.
"Papa Monarch."
"Their tribe is right ahead."
Zero lifted the princess's head, translated what she said, and pointed to the forest ahead.
firelight.
The mushroom tribe is burning with fire.
Under a large stone, the hot flames made a crackling sound.
Obviously.
The tribe of the Mushroom Tribe is quite primitive. They have not yet developed smelting technology and cannot make metal iron tools, so they can only use stone equipment.
A stone pot full of pits was made by the stonemason of the mushroom tribe. After being heated by a flame, the water in the stone pot boiled and cooked unknown pieces of meat.
Rotting corpse! !
Looking carefully, what was cooked in the stone pot turned out to be the remains of rotten corpses.
Those terrifying monsters that bite humans in the city have become food in the endless sea of trees, and even the mushroom tribe can capture them in large numbers.
"Yeah yeah yeah~~"
The arrival of Yang Feng and others immediately aroused the vigilance of the mushroom tribe.
There are quite a few of them, totaling two to three hundred people, and the leader among them is a giant mushroom man whose body is covered with huge mushrooms and is more than three meters tall.
Mushroom King.
The head in Zero's hand was babbling and saying something, and he was getting more and more excited.
The Mushroom King turned his head and looked at Zero, who was 10 times shorter than him. However, he muttered something and suddenly knelt down towards Zero.
What's going on? ?
"hey-hey!!"
"Daddy Monarch, he said he would give me the throne~~"
Zero's face was full of pride, and he became the king of the mushroom tribe in a blink of an eye.
"What's going on?"
Yang Feng was well-informed, but he also had a puzzled look on his face.
The Mushroom King had never seen Yang Feng's true power, but why did he surrender all of a sudden?
"Hehe~~"
"It said that my crown is more beautiful and more colorful than its own."
"So it's convinced~~"
Ling pointed at his head. The large mushrooms growing on his head were bright and colorful, and they were officially what the King of Mushrooms called a 'head crown'.
This is the tradition of the mushroom race.
Whose crown is brighter and more colorful, whose bloodline is more noble.
On the head of the Mushroom King, there is a large emerald green and rich purple mushroom. This is its crown and the reason why the mushroom people surrender.
The daughter of the Mushroom King, also known as the Mushroom Princess... has a bright red mushroom on her head, which also represents her special status.
Let’s look at the other mushroom people.
Most of their mushrooms are dull dark colors, so they have become slaves to work, much like the work clothes of human society.
The mushroom people worshiped one after another.
They gathered in the direction of Ling, looking at the colorful mushrooms on their head seriously, and they all showed expressions of surprise and envy.
"Princess apologize to me~~"
"She said she was too far away and didn't see my crown clearly, otherwise she wouldn't have dared to attack."
"The princess also asked me if I would mate with her."
Zero scratched his head, feeling very unfamiliar with this term.
breeding?
Yang Feng was even more confused.
Zero looks like a simple and cute little boy! !
"Whatever you like."
Yang Feng did not stop this behavior, but instead felt a little curious. Could the deformed cancerous flesh and blood do anything with the mushroom tribe?
soon.
Some more puzzling behavior emerged.
Zero's head tilted slightly, and he met the mushroom princess.
Two brightly colored mushrooms exchanged spores with each other, and extended part of their roots, piercing each other's temples, and then drilled in towards the brain.
Done.
This is how the mushroom people reproduce.
Soon...
The princess of the mushroom clan will have her head split open.
New mushroom babies will crawl out of it, and although the princess will die, more offspring will continue the tribe.
"Papa Monarch!"
"The princess said that in one month, you will be a grandpa~~"
Zero said excitedly, and at this moment, more girls from the mushroom tribe gathered around and excitedly grabbed Zero aside, all waiting for a special new life.
Different from humans.
The production cycle of the mushroom tribe is very short. The next generation will be born every two months, and more than a dozen new babies can be produced each time.
certainly.
Such a powerful reproductive ability, if it were in the real world of humans, would quickly erode and occupy the entire world.
But... this is the Endless Sea of Trees. The mushroom people have many natural enemies. Many creatures will treat the mushroom people as food, and it is already very good for a tribe to maintain a few hundred people.
"Zero."
"Let's put the girls' business aside for now."
"I have a few questions to ask. Call the mushroom king over."
Yang Feng said lightly, and Zero also walked back obediently, pulling the mushroom king and several elderly people to ask about some information about the Endless Sea of Trees.
There are many dangerous races in the Endless Sea of Trees.
Poisonous insects and beasts, carnivorous plants, terrifying beasts... countless.
The mushroom people have lived in this area for generations, and their history can be traced back thousands of years, and the mushroom king has survived here for more than 500 years.
The sun and the moon change.
The years change.
The Endless Sea of Trees has always been like this.
Each race has its own worship.
The mushroom people believe in colors and believe that colorful crowns represent more noble bloodlines, but also have stronger toxicity.
At the same time.
The Mushroom People also believe in the Holy Tree. Like most races, they all blindly believe in the distant Holy Tree, believing that the Holy Tree is at the center of the world, and that it is the great pillar that supports the endless starry sky...
Yes.
It's like an ancient superstition.
Most races believe that if there is no Holy Tree, the sky will fall.
However... there is an even more ancient belief.
Stars.
Some older and more powerful races believe that the endless starry sky can fulfill their wishes.
