Chapter 50: The Emperor's Mushroom?
The sky was getting darker, and the light between the mountains and forests was even darker.
The leaves of the trees, which are dark green during the day, almost merge with the shadows after the light disappears completely, painted in an eerie black, indistinguishable from each other.
The mountain breeze floated, the leaves rattled, and the branches grew in twisted shapes, and from a distance, it looked like a demon was writhing and carnivaling.
The vegetation is becoming more and more lush, and the gestures of the trees are becoming more and more abstract.
"The front is blocked by bushes, and it looks like we're going to have to get out of the car and walk." Lee Ming-woo calmly stated the bad facts.
Yuan Lin also saw the low bushes more than one meter high across the road ahead, so the car would definitely not be able to pass.
Said: "It's good to be able to drive here, let's get off?" ”
"Hmm." Lu Cangyao nodded slightly.
Yan Yan stretched out his hand and pushed the three cats who fell asleep after they were full, and the cats woke up with stretches and shook their heads.
The four of them got out of the car, and the cats jumped out of the car.
Touching the air outside, Yan Yan and Yuan Lin shivered fiercely.
Feeling the low temperature at night, Lu Cangyao immediately took out a thick coat from the space and handed it to Yuan Lin.
Yuan Lin took the clothes and put them on quickly, only then did he feel that the cold that invaded the bones was blocked for most of the time, and he felt a lot better.
Yan Yan also took out a fleece jacket from the space casually, quickly put it on, and rubbed his hands to create warmth for himself.
"Hey, it's cold." Yan Yan rubbed his hands and asked Li Mingyu, "Do you want to pick up a piece of clothing?" ”
Li Mingyu shook his head, he felt fine, and the surging power in his body was also providing him with a steady stream of heat.
But the breath between his breaths almost condensed into a white mist, which clearly told him that the temperature here was really low.
Lu Cangyao has a high resistance to the cold, and he let go of his mental power to perceive, but he still didn't find anything abnormal.
A little helpless: "Yan Yan, let Qiujun come out." ”
"Oh, good." Yan Yan put the car away with one hand and closed his eyes.
A moment later, the osmanthus tree and the small vine were held in her hands.
The opera vine quickly grew to the height of one person, broke away from Yan Yan's palm, and stood on the ground. At the same time, a branch was branched out to support the body of Qiujun's tree.
Without waiting for Lu Cangyao to ask, it consciously began to use its own ability, "eye", to probe outward.
The fresh green glow was very conspicuous in the dark night, reflecting on the faces of the four people.
Yan Yan couldn't hold back his laughter, and immediately covered it up: "It doesn't seem to be particularly cold." ”
She wasn't talking nonsense, she did feel the lingering chill weaken when the light on Qiu Jun's body shrouded her.
Love is a light, warming you, me and him, these words are so appropriate, Yan Yan wants to laugh again.
Lu Cangyao, as an "elderly" girl who is quite boring in her daily life, naturally couldn't think of what Yan Yan was thinking, but she intuitively felt that Yan Yan didn't think of anything good.
Especially after Qiu Jun began to investigate, Yan Yan's sweeping eyes on the faces of the three made her feel uncomfortable.
Shaking slightly, Lu Cangyao stretched out his right hand, and his index and middle fingers were fingered together as a sword, urging the healing ability to condense on his fingertips, and the warm white light illuminated this small piece of land.
It also overwhelmed the green light.
Yan Yan finally got serious and stopped laughing.
"Miss Lu," Qiu Jun's soft and cute voice sounded in the minds of the four of them, "I feel that the more north I go, the more intense the vitality becomes. ”
"Keep going north and you'll find it."
"Thank you, Qiu-kun." Lu Cangyao paused for a moment and said, "Have you seen the zombie wolves?" ”
"As far as I can see, no." Qiu Jun replied, "But there are quite a few animal carcasses to the north. ”
"It should have been eaten by a beast, I don't know if it's a wolf."
Lu Cangyao nodded and decided: "Then let's go north." ”
The play spirit vine held Qiu Jun and marched north with his legs composed of roots and whiskers on the slightly soft and damp earth.
followed by Li Mingyu, Yan Yan, and Yuan Lin, and the three cats followed Yan Yan. Lu Cang was at the end, in case something swooped out from behind.
In front of Qiujun's green aperture, and in the back, Lu Cangyao used his healing ability as a light bulb, and their strange combination followed the light around the bushes and shuttled between the trees.
In the silence of the mountain forest, it seemed that only the sound of their clothes grinding and footsteps as they walked.
"It's too quiet, it's a little panicked." Unexpectedly, it was Li Mingyu who spoke first.
In the night, the habitual sunny smile on his face was gone, his eyebrows were twisted, and his face was serious.
Without looking back, bending to avoid the branches above his head, he said, "It is impossible to be so quiet at night in the mountains. ”
He used to learn to cook, and he also followed his grandfather to go through the mountains to identify ingredients and have an overnight experience.
Lu Cangyao thought the same way.
It's as quiet as if there were no living creatures.
At the outermost point, you can see small animals such as rabbits and squirrels, but as it gets dark, it looks like there's nothing.
As in Changtong City, she blessed her sense of hearing with her abilities, listening carefully to the sounds around her.
- There was a faint sound of breathing, coming from underground.
It seems that they are hiding underground, I don't know if they are hiding from the cold, or if they are ......
Lu Cangyao thought about it and said loudly: "There are many living animals underground, and it is relatively safe here. ”
Li Mingyu was half relieved, it was good to have a living thing, indicating that there was no big threat nearby, so he quickened his pace a little and said, "Okay." ”
The distance between the trees expanded, and the ground was much smoother and easier to walk, and the three of them followed Li Mingyu to speed up their pace.
"Wait." Lu Cangyao said suddenly.
The companions in front of them stopped for some reason.
"What's wrong, Yaoyao, what did you find?" Yuan Lin was closest to her and turned his head to ask.
"There's a fluctuation of abilities here, don't move, I'll take a look."
Lu Cangyao broke away from the end of the line and walked straight to the left.
She sensed the ability from this direction, and it was very close, but she looked over and found no abnormality.
Standing still under a tree, the alien energy in perception is here.
But this tree is clearly an ordinary plant.
Just as she lowered her head and pondered, the source crystal in the spiritual sea moved slightly, and the pitch-black eyes turned into dark gold, and the phantom of the source crystal was reflected in it.
Lu Cangyao saw a clump of white mushrooms suddenly appear at the root of the tree.
Naturally, it couldn't have appeared out of thin air, but it was here all along, but she couldn't see it.
Optical stealth?
Lu Cangyao guessed, a small shovel appeared in his hand, squatted on the ground and carefully dug out the bush of mushrooms, and put it in a box.
The mushroom remained motionless and as quiet as a chicken the whole time.
Holding the box back to the team, Li Mingyu and the others did not move.
They all saw that Lu Cangyao had an extra box of dirt in his hand.
Yan Yan and Yuan Lin don't know why, can the soil have any abilities this year?
Li Mingyu took a closer look, and with the light in Lu Cangyao's hand, he found several unnatural pits and dislocations.
He asked, "Brother Yao, is there anything in the box that I can't see?" ”
Clever! Lu Cangyao glanced at him with a little appreciation.
"It's a bush of invisible mushrooms."
Holding the bottom of the box in one hand, the source ability exudes a hint of threat.
The mushroom that pretended to be dead shook twice imperceptibly, and the stealth was lifted.
At this time, people and cats other than Lu Cangyao could see it.
Could this be the emperor's mushroom?
It looks delicious.
Li Mingyu thought distractedly.
