Chapter 11: Continued Expansion

I kept running, and the yellow ground behind me suddenly shook, and a long lightning-shaped slit crackedβ€”

It seems that because of my rude harassment, something huge has been woken up. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

I heard the exclamation of Little Red Carbon in my right ear, and I hurriedly stopped:

"Master, master, don't move yet. 」

"I don't need to say it, my gut tells me it's more dangerous than it was before...... Yes. 」

The surface shook twice as violently as the rock-shelled rats were running, and my feet were unsteady and I fell.

The rock-shelled rats, which were originally densely gathered into a pile of weeds chasing after them, showed even more panic, decisively gave up the hunt, and scurried around in an orderly manner.

It seems, as if lurking beneath the surface of the earth, a higher predator in the food chain is about to appear?

Bang!

Several small mounds suddenly bulged out of the soil surface, and then swelled out of the mound like seeds, and a huge red shiitake mushroom about an adult height swelled out of the mound.

The flat bottom of the mushroom's fan shrouds the rock-shelled rats scurrying below.

Shiitake mushrooms expose their jaws hidden in the umbrella, like a red frog opening its mouth and shooting out a curled tongue, as soon as it sticks to the food, it is inhaled into the mouth, eliminating the action of chewing, only allowing the lean and thin mouth called the esophagus to bulge for a while, and the thing enters the stomach pocket underground.

The wonders of this man-made enclosed natural ecology keep appearing, and my eyes light up.

Because of my intrusion, it was like an orientation party and I was agitated.

Looking at several red shiitake mushrooms emerging from the ground, catching the panicked rock-shelled rats that had strayed into the forbidden land at an astonishing speed, I whispered to the little red carbon on my right shoulder and bit my ear...... If you want to talk to it normally, you have to rely on that funny role-playing game.

"Hey, little thing, as long as I sit here, I can easily enjoy the juggling of the garden rats among the mushrooms, right...... Chirp Mimi...... Ahem, I haven't slept well lately, my throat is a little hoarse, and I can't speak well, if I can understand my hard work, I will give my loyal ministers the opportunity to kill the chicken in person later. 」

"Woo woo woo ~ The master is serious, I really deserve to die. I couldn't understand the hard work of the master before, and boldly questioned the authenticity of the master. I deserve death...... Woooo 」

- I hurried to stop that idiot before he could do something stupid.

Judging from the decisive statement of Little Red Carbon when I encountered the situation before, my choice was right.

Little Red Carbon seems to have some knowledge of the living habits of the beasts. Therefore, to get out of the crisis, one can only gamble on the rich experience that it can be useful.

However, how long it takes to get it to understand what I mean depends on my speaking skills.

Reading 10,000 volumes, used for a while, refers to the present.

I did my best to convince it without pronouncing the "chirp mimi" particle.

It comprehends and says the main point:

"Master, that tongue-sticking mushroom is called a red frog mushroom. It doesn't belong to the master's soldiers or courtiers, so they're not entertaining us. Red frog mushrooms are easily attracted to creatures in motion, but if we stay where we are, when the rock-shelled rats are eaten, it's our turn. I suggested that the master run to the tree while there was a commotion, and stay there. Because there can't be any danger in the vicinity. 」

"I'm sure it's safe over there...... Chirp cough cough (cough)?"

"Lululu, for the time being, that's the safest. 」

I didn't miss the slight hesitation that flashed in the little red carbon bulge eyes.

This made me hesitate, but after two seconds I couldn't think of an alternative, and finally chose to bet everything to believe it. I traversed the battle ground between the red frog mushroom and the rock-shelled rat for survival, and quickly swept through the dusty area towards the strange tree.

Strange to say, when they saw my big move, two unrelenting greedy rock-shelled rats staggered to follow, but when they arrived, they gave up and turned away, as if they had touched the boundary of a realm that they could not enter and retreated.

As soon as I got there, I found a lonely giant tree growing in the open field.

I saw that the red soil around the tree was all over the place, and I couldn't find even a handful of weeds, and there was nothing bare. Maybe.......
