Chapter 1197: Mushrooms and Squirrels
Rounding the black sand, the group marched forward a few hundred meters, and Jasmine warned again.
Pointing to a wall in front of you, he said, "Stay away from there, too." ”
"Why......" Richard said, and before he could finish speaking, Jasmine took over.
"See that green liquid on the wall? that liquid is highly corrosive and has a special effect on mana. Contaminated to the surface of the body, once the mana is activated, it will follow the mana channel and directly invade the source of the mana, causing damage. If you don't want to become a wreck, the farther away the better. ”
Richard listened, looked at the place where Jasmine was pointing, looked at it for several seconds, and finally saw that the stone wall was stained with a viscous green liquid like specks, like spoiled jelly, and it was a little disgusting.
When I took a step closer and tried to get a few steps closer, I immediately felt a faint tingling sensation on the surface of my skin, which was a warning from perception. The blood in the body also fluctuated, as if there was some resistance. The most important thing is that the damage caused by the void energy in the body has been suppressed for a long time and is close to healing, and there are signs of recurrence at this moment.
This!
Richard raised his eyebrows and stopped decisively, making sure in his heart that Jasmine was not lying. At the same time, I have a strong interest in the disgusting green liquid on the wall.
You know, liquids and solids are different.
It is not surprising that the black sand of the past can remain for hundreds of years. But the green liquid in front of you will theoretically evaporate.
Among the ancient ruins, it can be preserved until now, which means that it is absolutely special. Coupled with the effect on blood and the corrosive energy of the void, he was very suspicious that this might have some connection with the blood energy transcendent factor.
When you come back, even if you don't collect the black poison sand, you have to collect a little bit of it and bring it back.
Richard silently made a decision in his heart, stepped to follow Jasmine's group, who had walked more than ten meters, and walked around the wall stained with green liquid from the right, and continued to walk.
......
Led by Jasmine, Richard follows the team through the ruins of complex buildings that continue to expand.
Richard noticed that Jasmine did not walk casually, but every time she walked, she stopped to look for signs.
The sign could be an inconspicuous square stone, a sloping stone pillar, a black smudge on a broken wall, or a large pit in the ground.
Through the signs, Jasmine frequently corrects her direction and winds her way through the ruins of complex buildings, taking a winding route.
It was clearly a safe route, and the group was in no danger except for a few distant howls of unknown creatures.
At most, you will encounter a few dangerous areas, such as a large piece of gravel with white hairs on the surface, and a depression covered by turbid liquid, which you need to bypass as you did with black sand and green liquid before.
Richard saw everything in his eyes, and while silently remembering the route in his heart, he was slightly relieved.
The reason for the relief is simple: regardless of what Jasmine and the others really think, but for now, he did make the right choice - instead of exploring the ruins on his own, he cooperated with Jasmine and his group, maybe half of the benefits, but saved a lot of time and a lot of potential trouble.
For example, the benefit of exploring the ruins alone is ten, and working with Jasmine becomes five. The danger of exploring alone is ten, and working with Jasmine becomes three, or even two.
All things considered, he earned. After all, he is not greedy, and he doesn't need to take everything in the ruins for himself, he just needs to get what interests him and is useful to him.
Thinking so, Richard saw Jasmine leading the way in front of him, his footsteps stopped again, frowned and stopped in front of a large mushroom, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally did not step on it hastily.
Richard approached and looked around, and saw that there were dense mushrooms several centimeters tall in front of him, most of them gray or white, not much different from the mushrooms that grew in the shade of the ground. These mushrooms grow densely, like crops planted by a farmer, and there is no end in sight, until the end of the view blocked by darkness, and it is not known how large the area is.
With a blink of an eye, Richard turned his head to look at Jasmine and asked, "This mushroom is also dangerous?
"Mushrooms are not dangerous. Jasmine shook her head and explained, "But according to the information in my hand, mushrooms are the food of many creatures in this underground ancient ruins. Believe me, most of the creatures in this underground ruins are extremely dangerous, except for ......"
Speaking of this, Jasmine's voice stopped and looked to the side.
Richard followed and saw the red-robed "One-Eyed" spinning around the edge of the mushroom patch, and suddenly lifted his hand to lift a squeaky gray mouse from the mushroom bush.
"One-eyed" glanced over, but in fact could only glance at it, carrying the tail of the gray mouse, and whispered to Richard: "The captain is right, most of the creatures here are dangerous, and sometimes some inconspicuous little bugs can be fatal, except for this gray mouse."
This kind of rat, compared with the rat on the ground, is not much different, because it is grown by eating mushrooms, and it has a milder temperament and better taste. Seriously, if something happens to us during this expedition and we are trapped here for a short time, then we can only catch this gray mouse and eat it.
Believe me, this is the only safe food in this ruin, safer than mushrooms - because not all mushrooms are harmless, and a few of them, which look like normal ones, can have a strong hallucinogenic effect when eaten. Specifically, there will be a group of villains dancing around you. Although I didn't experience it firsthand, I definitely didn't want to try it. ”
"Uh......" Richard listened to the words, his eyes flickered, and he thought thoughtfully: According to the experience just now, and what the "one-eyed" said now, it has to make people wonder, Jasmine and his party are obviously exploring the ancient ruins for the first time, but they have detailed and exaggerated information, as if they have explored it many times in person.
Before the combination, the other party was able to take a shortcut, go directly to the tomb of the wizard thangka, and take the blue seal. The biggest possibility should be that the other party has a special relationship with Thangka, and he has a large number of codex of the wizard Thangka in his hand, so he has learned a lot of knowledge about ancient ruins.
Perhaps, Jasmine is the real apprentice of the wizard thangka? no, the age difference is a bit big, maybe it is a descendant of the apprentice of the wizard thangka, or it is directly a descendant of the thangka......
By the way, in the book in the hands of the sorceress Sersi before, it was mentioned that Thangka and the royal family of the Sika Kingdom had an unknown relationship. Before, when he was hiding his figure, he clearly heard the strong man Hulk call Jasmine ...... "princess".
Princess?!
