"Rand, where are you now?" Qin Lun thought about it, and then asked his companions in the back.

Rand quickly said his location, and Qin Lun recalled, finding that the dwarven exploration team led by Gillim was probably less than an hour away from his others.

After Qin Lun set off at the camp before, in fact, Jilimu immediately gathered the team, and because of the need to prepare supplies, he was delayed for almost half an hour before leaving.

In this way, their travel speed in this small half a day was actually faster than that of the dwarven exploration team, and counting the time they had fought with the dreadclaw beast not long ago, it still stretched them away for nearly half an hour.

It's not surprising to think about it, the dwarves are not traveling fast in the first place, and they have to carry exploration materials on their backs, so it is naturally not as easy as them.

"Then wait for them, the distance is too wide, in case of irresistible danger, it will be more troublesome." Qin Lun discussed it with the rest of the people, and then decided to wait for the large army here.

Now that they have lost the bloodstain clues, they have cleared up two more dreadclaw beasts along the way, which can be regarded as a great achievement, and they should be able to explain the past in front of Gilim.

Although they decided to wait for the exploration team, several people were not willing to do nothing. Qin Lun and Hill each released a gargoyle and continued to search ahead. If they can find something, they don't have to wait.

After releasing the gargoyle, Qin Lun and the others retreated a distance backwards and rested near a pile of rubble. The thieves had set up a few small traps around, and the environment in the mossy area ahead was a bit weird, so they needed to be cautious.

"Looks like you're well prepared!" Weiss looked at the gargoyle that flew into the darkness with a hint of surprise.

Gargoyles, alchemical creatures, possess night vision and are a great means of exploring in the dark.

"It's just a coincidence!" Qin Lun smiled, when they first entered the Torreel World, they didn't expect to enter the Dark Region. However, looking at Weiss's expression, he obviously didn't believe it, so he didn't explain too much.

After a few people rested for a while, Hill suddenly opened his eyes, frowned, and said, "That gargoyle of mine seems to have found something!" ”

Qin Lun and the others had already entered the dark region, and the surrounding environment was like a network of dark passages extending in all directions. The two gargoyles did not explore in the same direction, so Qin Lun couldn't sense Hill's gargoyle.

Hill feeds back the image of the gargoyle to the team channel, and the others are immediately greeted with a bizarre picture.

The gargoyle was currently in a vast plain, and could not see the edge of the plain with its vision. This subterranean plain is filled with a plant that looks like a large mushroom.

This thing has a mushroom-like cap, but the proportion of the strains underneath is relatively long, and it looks like a strange tree. This forest of large mushrooms is not visible from the gargoyle's field of vision, and is tentatively estimated to be at least a few dozen square kilometers.

Their perimeter is covered with a pink smoke that makes it impossible to observe the inside of the forest, making it mysterious and eerie.

"Mushroom Glade!" After seeing this mirror image, Qin Lun and the others looked at each other a few times, and their faces showed a trace of strangeness.

Unexpectedly, after they gave up moving forward, the gargoyle released casually actually gave another surprise.

"Shall I take a look?" The thieves are gearing up and a little eager to try.

When he was exploring the camp two days ago, he already knew that the previous groups of dwarven exploration teams had just explored here, and had not yet really broken through the mushroom woodland area. Since they didn't see the trapped dwarves along the way, these guys should be in the mushroom glades.

Of course, this is not to say that Qin Lun and the others have caught up with the progress of the dwarves in the past few months in their first exploration. They were able to come here now because they were tracking the results of the bloodstains. The dwarves were purposefully heading towards the Secret Silver Hall, which were two completely different things.

"What do you mean, Captain Weiss?" Qin Lun didn't make an immediate decision this time, and kindly asked the only high-ranking apostle in the team.

Weiss looked at Qin Lun and smiled, he knew that this was the other party's desire to improve the relationship between the two parties and make it rise to the level of truly becoming teammates.

However, he did not refuse this kindness, judging from the temptation in the past few days, the strength of the three Qin Lun in the apostle side was insufficient, and they needed their assistance in order to get a higher degree of task completion.

And they also need Qin Lun's plot identity, so that they can dig deeper into the mission plot. What's more, the strength of Qin Lun and the three of them is also very good in his opinion, and he is qualified to share the benefits of the task with them.

Most importantly, Weiss himself had an idea of a private collection. The world of Torrell is a big world, and there are countless epic plots hidden in it, and they have betrayed the Santarin Society at this time, and entering this world in the future is equivalent to starting over.

But if you can get in touch with Qin Lun, you can join the current plot camp. If they have the opportunity to enter Torel in the future, they will be able to participate in the plot line of the Silver Moon Alliance, the Shield Dwarves, and even the future Shining Moon Court. This is obviously a sure thing to make and not lose, so why not.

"Go check it out! However, it's best not to go deep into the mushroom forest, we'll just explore the periphery, something that can trap an entire dwarven exploration team will be a big threat to us. Weiss thought for a moment and replied.

Qin Lun nodded in agreement, sent a return thought to the other gargoyle, and continued to move forward with everyone. With a clear target location, they can slightly avoid the moss area in front of them and avoid the risks lurking within.

After about an hour or so, Qin Lun and the others finally came to the vast plain where the mushroom forest was located.

Standing on the cliff of the rock formation closest to the plain, Qin Lun and the others found that the mushrooms in this mushroom forest were much larger than they had seen before. Not to mention the giant mushrooms in the center of the mushroom woodland, even those on the periphery are almost ten meters high, and the radius of the mushroom cap reaches about three meters.

"Rand, have you asked about the mushroom woodlands?" Qin Lun asked in the team channel.

Before they set out, they had Rand secretly ask the dwarves for information about the mushroom glades. Because this was not a secret in the dwarven camp, the dwarves did not hide it.

Mushroom forests are a special biome in the dark regions, most of which are plants, resembling large mushrooms. However, a large area of mushroom woodland will also give birth to an intelligent creature similar to the forest dryad, called the mushroom man.

Mushrooms are a bit like dryads, docile by nature, and don't like to fight. They even allow many subterranean organisms to feed on plant mushrooms, and as long as they do not destroy the mushroom forests on a large scale, they basically ignore the alien organisms.

However, in terms of combat ability, individual mushrooms cannot be compared to dryads. They don't have the Dryad's defenses, they don't have the strength of the Dryad, and they're even slower.

There are two main types of combat skills for them, one is to spit bodily fluids. It's a very corrosive acid with a lot of toxin damage. Another method is to stimulate the mushroom forest to emit a spore cloud, which is extremely sharp.

There are two types of spore clouds in mushrooms, one is non-toxic, and the other is very hallucinogenic and equivalent to nerve agents. Even if a high-level creature inhales this spore cloud, it will be unconscious for a short period of time, and eventually rot in the mushroom forest.

Rand finally reminded Qin Lun and the others that the dwarves knew the habits of the mushroom people, and the first few explorations of the mushroom woodland did not alarm the mushroom people. This encounter with an unknown attack may not have been done by the mushroom man, otherwise once the spore cloud is activated, the dwarf will not be able to escape at all.

"So the dwarves in the mushroom forest may have been attacked by other underground creatures?" Qin Lun touched the tip of his nose thoughtfully.

The mushroom forest is like the forest on the surface, because the mushroom people allow other underground organisms to feed on the plant mushroom, so there may be nests of other creatures nearby. If the dwarven exploration team is unlucky, they are at risk of being attacked by these underground creatures.

"Well, it's very likely, it's just that I don't know what kind of underground creature they encountered!" Several people looked at the message from Rand and felt a little tricky.

Dark areas are poor in resources, especially food. Most subterranean organisms are omnivorous, so there are many species of associated creature nests near mushroom forests. From high-level minotaurs and manticores, to mid-level salamanders, and even low-level nezumi and cave people, it is impossible to make a specific judgment.

"Let's let the gargoyle go in and scout first!" Qin Lun said helplessly, "It's good to encounter the lord creatures, but if you can't beat them, you can still scatter and escape." If you run into a gregarious minotaur or salamander, it's a lot of fun. ”

"The size of the gargoyle is too big, and most of the underground creatures have night vision, so if you startle the snake, it will bring unnecessary trouble to the follow-up exploration." Weiss cautioned.

"That'...... What is the good thing about Captain Weiss? Qin Lun asked with a smile, since Wei Si raised this question, it is estimated that there are already other solutions.

After a few days of getting along, Qin Lun also had a further understanding of this high-level apostle. Unlike several high-ranking apostles he had ever met, Weiss had an extremely steady personality, even the twilight.

Along the way, most of the construction he proposed did not seek merit but no fault, perhaps this was the main reason why the plan of the Santalin Society failed in Silvermoon City, but his team was able to retreat and make up for some of the losses.

Qin Lun didn't like Weis's character very much, and it didn't fit his personality very well. However, he admits that this kind of apostle is difficult to deal with, and aside from the rewards of the mission, perhaps in the dangerous world of Torrell, Weiss is better suited for an adventurous mission than he is.

"Like you, this is the second time we've entered the world of Torrell. Because the place of advent is in the north, there are also some items to explore the dark region. Weiss smiled and took out two palm-sized alchemy creatures from the storage space.

"This is a light sound bat, which not only has the ultrasonic reconnaissance ability of the bat and makes it form an image, but also has the ability to fly at subsonic speeds." Weiss threw two palm-sized bats upward, and a ball of air exploded above everyone's heads, and the two little bats disappeared without a trace in an instant.
