Chapter 37: Mushrooms

The soldiers behind him entered the stone chamber one after another, and when they saw several forks in the road, there was an uproar immediately, and it was not for nothing that Unas did not know what to do, but Hans shouted angrily: "No noise! ”

The enraged Hans was still a little dignified, and the team immediately fell silent.

Unas glanced at him gratefully, Hans finished singing with a white face, and it was his turn to sing with a red face: "Don't panic, everyone, our compatriots are waiting for us to rescue them, any difficulties are a test for us by the Holy Light, as long as we have an unwavering heart, the Holy Light will bless us to overcome all difficulties, the Holy Light is above!" ”

It's a lot of empty words and clichΓ©s like a leader, but when it comes to the Holy Light, coupled with his status as a paladin, it still has a soothing effect, and most of the people in the team follow him and repeat in a low voice: "The Holy Light is above." ”

Putting down the commotion for a while, it's back to the old question: which way to go?

Shi Mei led two of his men back and forth between the five cave entrances, and Unas had no hope of several dwarf "brick families", he walked through several caves in turn, ready to try his luck with a pleasing one.

At this time, Shi Mei jumped on his two little short legs and ran to him excitedly: "Lord Unas, we have made a major discovery!" ”

"Found a clue?" Unas was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Nope!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Unas almost choked on him, and the dwarf didn't notice it, pulling him and running to the left.

The soldiers were also alarmed, but Unas had ordered to stand in place, so no one came up to see the commotion, but they all craned their necks to look this way.

The two of them came to the second hole on the left, where the other two dwarves were crouching on the ground and fiddling with a purple plant, and Unas looked closer and saw that it was a palm-sized purple mushroom.

Is there something wrong with the brain circuits of these dwarves?

Unas couldn't help but ask, "Is this your big discovery?" What is this mushroom good for, can you eat it? ”

"Yes! This mushroom is called lilac mushroom, which is non-toxic and can be eaten with confidence," Shi Mei said, "But the major discovery is not this, but we just watched it grow out of the soil." ”

It turned out that when the dwarves were exploring the entrance of the cave just now, they suddenly found a stone shaking on the ground, and they thought it was a mouse or something, and when they opened it, the mushroom grew out of it.

"All at once it grew so big?"

Seeing Unas's look of disbelief, Shi Mei was anxious, and hurriedly pointed to his gray thick eyebrows, and swore with a curse: "I swear by my eyebrows, I saw it grow so big all of a sudden!" ”

The other two dwarves nodded their heads in unison, saying that they had seen it too.

Well, Unas is a little convinced, these dwarves shouldn't tell this kind of lie, in the world of magic, everything is possible, but even if it's true, what's the use? Is it time to study botany?

Shi Mei continued, "In our dwarven customs, meeting edible food in the cave means that good things will happen, which is a symbol of luck, Captain. ”

Unas's heart moved, wasn't he just thinking about trying his luck?

Sometimes we have to believe in evil, and he makes good reasons for his choice: "Very well, let's go this way, this mushroom may be a hint from the goddess of luck." ”

"Who is Lady Luck, why haven't I heard of it?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The team continued to move forward, and after passing through a short tunnel, another similar stone chamber appeared in front of Unas, and he looked blankly at the several openings in the four walls of the stone chamber, not knowing what to do for a while.

Is Bethires the son of a mouse? Punch so many holes!

Unas looked around a few holes anxiously, could Lady Luck give some more hints?

Coincidentally, a green fluorescence suddenly appeared in the corner of his eye, and when he looked closely, the fluorescence came from a hole on the left.

Unas walked quickly forward to check, and it turned out to be a small patch of moss on the stone wall, and the glowing green light flickered on it, which was quickly extinguished.

Shi Mei, who was following behind, pinched his beard and said, "This is fluorescent moss, which is very common underground. ”

"It was glowing just now, what does that say in your dwarven customs?"

"I don't know, when this moss glows depends on its own mood."

Unas looked at the other holes one by one, and there were also fluorescent mosses, but they didn't glow.

Is it really a coincidence? The super-fast mushroom just now, and now there is a glowing moss, Unas doesn't believe that there are so many coincidences, and there must be a demon when things go wrong.

Could it be that someone is showing them the way in the shadows?

This method of controlling plants was thought of by Unas as only one profession - a druid who believed in nature.

That's it! Unas decided in his heart that he was not naΓ―ve to think that the druids were all good people and kindly showed them the way, but that such a subtle method made him feel more like he was asking for help.

Who will call for help? Naturally, he was the one who was imprisoned by the Dreadlord.

The speculation confirmed his thoughts, and he waved his hand to the group, heading straight for the hole on the edge of the fluorescent moss.

……

In the depths of the deep cavern, the necromancer Aaron suddenly felt a little uneasy. He was an orphan living on the streets, begging and stealing until he met a "mentor."

The Mentor was a magician, but also a great good man, who adopted many homeless people, and he was taken in as an apprentice by the Mentor.

When he first knew that he had the talent of a mage, Alun was ecstatic, noble, mysterious, and powerful, this was all he had of a mage, could he become such a mage?

He couldn't help but think of the hatred buried in his heart, the greedy lord, after his father was killed in the orc war, the lord swallowed up his pension, and the mother who went to ask for it never came home.

He fled to the wilderness for a few days, and by the time he sneaked back to the city, his father's house had been reduced to ashes.

The hatred that had never been extinguished burned in his heart, and now, at last, waiting for a chance for revenge!

He desperately learns about magic, and wants to get strong and get revenge sooner.

However, the Mentor had many apprentices, almost all of them orphans, and he soon discovered that he was not very talented, and that the magic taught by the Mentor did not seem to be "good" magic, and the magical experiments he conducted became more and more terrifying.

At first, the subjects were just dead rats, dead rabbits, etc., but then the corpses became larger and larger, and finally one day, a human corpse was placed in front of everyone.

This person Aaron knew, a homeless man adopted by the mentor, is this the meaning of the mentor's adoption of them? After all, no one cares about the life or death of the homeless.

Aaron didn't back down, what about evil magic? As long as it gives him the power of revenge, he is willing to do anything.

Not all of the apprentices were as comfortable as he was, and several of the children escaped overnight, but the next day, their bodies were found on the test bench.

The fear of death and the thirst for power make the apprentices sink deeper and deeper into the darkness, but Aaron is like a fish in water. Soon he was reused by his mentor and introduced to a mysterious sect, the Cult of the Cursed God.

Under the direction of his mentor, he contacted people who were dissatisfied with the lord and drew them into the sect in the name of overthrowing the lord, and the cursed sect gradually grew and gathered strength in the city.

The day of the campaign has finally arrived, and Aaron will always remember that glorious day, when half of the inhabitants were turned into undead by the plague they had sown, and the other half had been slaughtered by their former relatives, neighbors, and friends.

When Aaron broke into the enemy's castle with the undead and trampled the lord's fat head under his feet, he received unparalleled pleasure, followed by endless emptiness.

Having lost his purpose, he went with the flow, and after a series of travels, wars, and surrenders, he fell into the hands of the Dreadlord Bethrith and became his chef and canteen manager.

Beneath his cage is the fresh humans looted by his demonic master, whose job it is to use fear, hatred, and pain to concoct delicious souls for his master to enjoy.

And the dried corpses and skeletons left after the master feasted on them were his reward.

He lived a very comfortable life, and the fate of these prisoners was completely in his hands, and he could kill them and satisfy all his desires.

But this kind of day may be coming to an end, and there has been a continuous vibration from the ground before, this is very deep underground, and it is conceivable that there is an earth-shattering battle taking place on the ground, can the demon master win?

Fortunately, he had been prepared, and when the alarm magic set up in the tunnel was triggered one by one, he knew that the enemy was coming for him.

He had been hiding in a secret cave that would never be discovered, and the undead of his remote control men were ambushed in several places, ready to surprise his enemies.

Fleeing or holding on is determined by the quality of the enemy.

The message came from all over the place through the undead's hands, and the enemy was slowly entering the trap, Aaron smiled slightly, but at this moment, the enemy suddenly stopped, and then quickly retreated.

Aaron was shocked, could it be that his trap had been discovered?
