Chapter 19: The Chaotic World, Mycelium Monsters

"Helpβ€”β€”!!"

The spinning wheels of the car went straight through a puddle of mud.

The horses pulling the cart were neighing, and the drivers were crying out for help with panicked faces.

Fujiwara is also a merchant from the north, and his main purpose in coming to the west of Neon is to open up trade routes.

Recently, Kazuya Fujiwara lamented that the business of businessmen is getting worse and worse......

Isn't it!

Originally, the neon of the Warring States period was chaotic enough.

There were warlords all over the country, who set themselves up as kings and fought endlessly.

Adhering to the concept of a small battle in three days and a big war in five days, people's brains are about to become dog brains.

And the frequency of wars has also led to the birth of many monsters.

Resentment, hatred, curses, evil spirits, and so on.

All of them are the best breeding grounds for youkai.

In addition, in the territory of the neon western country, a magic sword [Cong Yunya] was recently born!

I don't know when it began to spread.

It is said that as long as someone can get Cong Yunya's approval, he can rule the world!

At this time, the neon people of the Warring States Period, except for the ignorance of the ordinary people.

Almost all those who have a little power in their hands have ambitions and aspirations!

And the birth of Cong Yunya, coupled with the rumor that came out of someone's mouth.

Almost overnight, the entire territory of the Neon West Kingdom was a mess!

The greed and ugly desires of human nature are magnified without limits!

Those warlord lords revolved around the ownership of Cong Yunya, fighting frantically day and night, and fighting non-stop.

The people of the territory were displaced, miserable, desperate, and famine, all of which they could not see.

Caught in the midst of madness, they have unknowingly become puppets controlled by Cong Yunya.

On the other hand, the monsters also took advantage of this opportunity to run out of the mountains and run recklessly in the human world, dancing wildly with demons.

The neon people, who are already under great pressure to survive, have to avoid years of military disasters and monsters.

If you want to survive in such a precarious situation all day long, the challenge level can be said to be no less difficult than hell!

Back to Kazuya Fujiwara.

The chaos in the Neon West Country is intensifying.

Fujiwara's business was also becoming more and more difficult, and at first he came to the west with five wagons pulling goods.

Now, all he has left is a carriage, and the past is unbearable......

At the beginning, the dozen or so guards and subordinates he hired were also dead and fled in these short days.

Only Kazuya Fujiwara was left alone.

So far, Fujiwara Kazuzu can't care about feeling sorry for the lost goods.

He now just wants to leave the western realm and return to his safe northern homeland.

However, on the way to run, most of the dry food was accidentally lost.

Yesterday, Kazuya Fujiwara ate the last portion of rice balls and dry food, and then completely fell into a situation of running out of food.

Under his ass was the only carriage that remained.

Most of the goods were pottery, fabrics, and rouge gouache, plus some trinkets for women.

There was nothing to eat to fill his stomach, and oh yes, he forgot that there was a jar of salt in the car!

But just eating salt can't fill your stomach except to kill yourself!

In this way, Kazuya Fujiwara, who had been on the road for a day hungry, was just when he was dizzy.

- A savior has appeared!

He remembered that it was a strange old man riding a three-eyed ox.

He was dressed in an old, tattered brown-green kimono, and his body was as thin as dry firewood.

In addition, the other party's eyes are also the most memorable place for Fujiwara Kazuya.

That old man's eyes are huge! It's like a protruding-eyed goldfish, which is even scary at first glance!

Fujiwara Kazu, who met the strange old man at that time, was also hungry, and his analytical ability had already collapsed.

He asked the old man for food, saying that he could exchange any item in his carriage.

In the end, Fujiwara Kazuya used the jar of salt in the car to exchange a bunch of strangely shaped mycelium from the hands of the strange old man.

Kazuya Fujiwara, who didn't know what these weird and strange mycelium were, was a little scared at first and thought he had been deceived.

But when he saw the old man pick up a piece of mycelium and put it in his mouth, it was like eating spicy strips.

In an instant, an intense hunger pang took over Kazuya Fujiwara's brain!

Kazuya Fujiwara, who bowed his head and nibbled on those delicious but somewhat hard mycelium.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that the strange old man had disappeared.

After barely settling it out, Kazuya Fujiwara, who had come to his senses, had palpitations, and then hurriedly left there.

Kazuya Fujiwara, who re-embarked on his way home, still carried a part of the strange mycelium given by the strange old man at the time.

Kazuya Fujiwara thought to himself, no matter how peculiar the shape of this thing is, at least it can be eaten!

If he cuts back on food and clothing, and saves some food along the way, he should be able to hold out until he returns to the northern base area.

However, Kazuya Fujiwara, who was very careful along the way, never expected it.

His own crisis would appear so suddenly, so unexpectedly!

Early this morning, Fujiwara Kazuya calculated that his journey home was less than half a day's way away.

As soon as the man was happy, he wanted to celebrate with something.

It's a pity that Kazuya Fujiwara doesn't have anything around to celebrate.

But as soon as he dug into his pocket, he found the mycelium he had left!

This hard day is coming to an end, why don't you just cook a pot of good food and treat yourself?

Coupled with the fact that he has been gnawing on these stiff mycelium for this time, Fujiwara Kazuya's teeth are almost broken and a few of them are missing.

The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable Kazuya Fujiwara slaps his thigh!

- Cook you!

Let's cook it!

Kazuya Fujiwara left a piece of mycelium to take home as a souvenir.

Then the fire is raised, the clay pot is set up, water is poured, mycelium is thrown in, and the pot is covered.

He sat there humming a song and shaking his legs, just waiting for a full meal before he could hit the road.

Who knew that suddenly there was a boom!

The pan is fried!

At that time, Fujiwara Kazuya was so scared that he almost collapsed in all three ways!

There's a monster in the Nima pot!!

What has a huge catfish with hands and feet, it has become a fine sunflower.

A huge mushroom essence covered in black, with a white ghost-like grimace.

And a tank watermelon with a bloody mouth!

These messy scalp-numbing guys all jumped out of the pot in a swarm.

Fujiwara Kazuya was fortunately a little bolder than others, and at the moment of crisis, he came back to his senses and jumped into his carriage and ran.

This run, Fujiwara and the same as driving a train, not only did he get rid of the monsters behind him.

On the contrary, the team is slowly getting bigger and bigger!

The appearance of this scene can't help but make Fujiwara Kazuya feel like ashes.

Just when he sighed 'My life is over', a savior fell from the sky!
