Chapter 104: The Withered Boar Man
After Yang Yi got Krystasa's amulet, he planned to immediately set off to find the new toadstool of the steel-maned boar man, but he suddenly found that he couldn't find a suitable person to act with.
Brak is currently hunting the boar people with the fighting fishmen in the village and the people with guns and roses, and the task of exterminating the boar people cannot be delayed in order to obtain the construction blueprints of the Tier 1 Fishman Nightkin camp. Slark was rushing into the hotel to study the alchemy recipe with Krystasa, and he couldn't leave. The Brak brothers all have their own tasks and can't get out, and the old blind can only stay in the Ratchet Village to take care of the house.
Yang Yi thought about it for a long time, and finally planned to bring only two followers, Ben Bo Ba and Mo Momus, although these two little fishmen are still underage, their combat effectiveness is not weak, and more importantly, they are clever enough. This time, the mission was to find some new toadstools from the wild boar people settlement infected by the new plague, not to go out and fight the wild boar people, so Yang Yi decided to sneak in secretly. Even if there is a battle at that time, the main combat power will depend on the epic talisman given by the dragons.
At noon on this day, Yang Yi explained the affairs of the village to the old blind eye, and then he set off with Ben Boba and Mo Momus.
The boar-man tribe of the captured steel-maned thornweaver was some distance from the village of Ratchet, and the three fishmen kept their vigilance until midnight when they approached their destination.
The Boar People colony looked nothing unusual from the outside, with thick thorny vines growing unbridled and tightly obscuring the view.
It's the dead of night, and it's quiet in the boar settlements. There was only the whistling of the wind whistling across the steppe, and the occasional howl of wild beasts came from afar.
Yang Yi hadn't tried the power of the talisman yet, so he didn't rush into the thorn jungle with the two fishmen, he reconnoitred step by step along the edge of the thorn jungle.
According to the captive Steelmane Thornweaver, the boar people infected by the new plague have lost their consciousness and have fallen into a state of terror without eating, drinking, or sleeping. Therefore, these boar people do not need to go out to hunt, they do nothing, they just stay in the depths of the thorny jungle and carry out some kind of sacrificial activity day and night. This situation is both good and bad for Yang Yi, the advantage is that he will not encounter the boar man in charge of patrolling when he infiltrates, and the disadvantage is that it is extremely difficult for him to find a lone boar man to try the power of the talisman.
The thorny jungle inhabited by the boar people is not something that everyone dares to enter, not only does it emit a foul smell, but more importantly, outsiders who come here can be infected with the plague spread by the boar people at any time.
Yang Yi: As fishmen who are born with the ability to resist plagues, they are not worried about being infected with ordinary plagues, and for the sake of safety, Yang Yi used Christasa's talisman on himself and the two fishmen before sneaking in.
A translucent red light shot out of the amulet, lingering and then disappearing into the bodies of the three fishmen.
After the red light disappeared, Yang Yi touched his fish-man body, except for feeling a faint warm current in his body, there was no other abnormality, thinking that this warm current was the source of increasing his resistance to dark spells.
With the protection of the talisman, Yang Yi took the two fishmen and entered the wild boar people's settlement with confidence. The jungle of thorns is damp and rotten, and the ground is littered with rotting grass and dead leaves. Along the way, Yang Yi found many hand-organized piles of rotting grass, on which some fungi grew, among which a fist-sized umbrella mushroom with red round spots was the most common, and this umbrella mushroom was called the red spot mushroom. Fungi are not only vectors used by the boar people to spread the plague, but they are also one of the main food sources for the wild boar people, and this red-spotted mushroom that grows on rotting grass is a food fungus. The red spotted mushroom is cultivated as a staple food by the wild boar people because it is suitable for growing in the environment where wild boar people live.
Because there were no vigilant and patrolling wild boar people, Yang Yi and the others quickly and smoothly dived into the depths of the thorny jungle. I saw a large group of wild boar people densely surrounded by a large clearing in the depths of the thorny jungle, and there were at least more than 500 wild boar people at a rough estimate. The boar men were sluggish and strangely acting, all facing a campfire in the middle of the clearing, performing some kind of ritual.
[Withered Steelmane Boarman], [Withered Steelmane Defender], [Withered Steelmane Weaver]......
Yang Yi looked with the eyes of the lord and found that all the wild boar people here had turned into withered wild boar people.
"These boar people have completely changed their temperament after turning into withered boar people, what are they doing around the campfire? The bonfire burned strangely, and the color of the flames was actually blue-purple. Yang Yi suddenly felt panicked after looking at the color of the bonfire, and it felt like a pile of ghost fires swaying and dancing wildly.
"Boss, that boar man is weird." At this time, Mo Momus suddenly spoke, and he pointed to the withered wild boar crowd in front of him and whispered to Yang Yi.
"Oh?" Yang Yi looked in the direction that Morumus was pointing and found a boar man wearing a green mage's robe and holding a staff standing under the shadow of the thick thorn vines, and the white gem on the tip of the staff in the boar man's hand glowed from time to time.
Yang Yi used the Lord's Eye on this boar man.
【Mystic Mage Lazosnott】

"Being a powerful Boar Man arcane mage, and not turning into a Blighted Boar Man means that he is not infected by the undead plague. He is still a high-level alchemist, and he has knowledge of the undead, and he is a suspicious guy. After Yang Yi saw the attribute information of this wild boar man, he immediately suspected that this guy was the initiator of this undead plague.
Boar Mages are actually shamans of the Boar People, who are not only powerful spellcasters, but also proficient in spreading plague.
"Boss, there's a house on the cliff over there." Morumus has the specialty of "Spotter (A)", and he is constantly observing the situation around him.
Yang Yi looked sideways, and the fishman's night vision ability came into play at this time, and he vaguely saw a hut hanging on the cliff face of the mountain cliff in the distance. The hut was nearly ten meters above the ground, and it didn't look like a house where ordinary boar people lived.
Yang Yi immediately took the two fishmen to dive in the direction of the cliff hut.
The three fishmen dived to the bottom of the cliff, and Yang Yi soon found that there were several large wooden frames under the cliff, and there were more than a dozen long trees lined up on the wooden frames, and red and yellow umbrella mushrooms grew on the long trees. These umbrella mushrooms look very similar to the red spot mushrooms seen before, except that the umbrella leaves of the mushrooms have not only red round spots, but also many yellow spots.
【Chronic toadstools】
[Level: Level 2]
[Use: Infect Creatures with Chronic Plague]
"This should be a toadstool specially cultivated by the boar man shaman, and it seems that the cliff is likely to be the hut where the boar man shaman lived."
Yang Yi opened a leather bag hanging from his belt, then took out a fish-cutting knife and carefully moved a few of the brightest and largest mushrooms into the bag.
"Let's go, go up and have a look."
After Yang Yi put away the mushrooms, he took the two little fishmen and climbed up the cliff to the hut on the cliff with the shaking ladder.
It is not easy to build a half-suspended hut on the cliff face, and the size of this hut is only five or six square meters. The cliff hut is piled up with many clay bottles and cans and several large and small wooden barrels, like a garbage recycling station.
"Look for these bottles and jars to see if there are any germs." Yang Yi took two small fishmen to rummage carefully in the hut.
A quarter of an hour later, Yang Yi and the two little fishmen rummaged through everything in the hut, but found no germs.
The new germs were not found, but not for nothing. Pember found a rolled-up piece of vellum paper in a crack in the cliff. The vellum was faded and yellowed, and looked like an old thing. Yang Yi took a cursory look and found that this piece of animal skin paper actually recorded the method of cultivating chronic toadstools by the secret mage of the wild boar people.
Yang Yi immediately put away the animal skin paper after reading it, although this plague is not a good thing, but if it is in his own hands, it will be different.
No new toadstool could be found in the cliff hut, and Yang Yi was about to climb down with the two little fishmen, when there was a sudden roar and roar in the distance.
As far as the eye could see, there was only a fire shadow among the thorny vines around him, which was the flame of clusters of torches.
The orc soldiers rushed into the thorny jungle of the boar people at this time.
