Chapter 61: The Mushroom King's Request!
The Worm Fort was shattered, and the battle beetles arranged in a battle array had been slaughtered by the Ron Three Rats, but when the two giant beetles, one black and one red, broke out of the castle, opening and closing huge chelicerae that were wider than the armor giant beetles behind the mushroom field, a strong man's momentum arose.
"Squeak!"
These two beetles are strong!
Ron's eyes narrowed slightly, and standing at the front of the rat colony, he raised his right paw, and immediately the rat colony seemed to be frozen in front of the mushroom field.
For ordinary moonlight rats, they can defeat the battle beetle that was killed by Ron's thoughts, but there is nothing they can do against the armored giant worm, let alone the red and black giant worm in front of them at this moment.
If it weren't for the performance of Ron, Shadow, and Iron Fang, just two powerful beetles, one red and one black, would have slaughtered the Moonlight Rat Swarm just like Ron had tortured and killed the battle beetles.
It was precisely because of Ron's three rats that they showed enough combat power to compete with the red and black giant insects, so at this moment, the red and black giant insects did not launch an offensive, but just kept opening and closing their chelicera, making a series of knocking sounds.
"Squeak!"
Collect the fungus and return to the tunnel!
Ron's fiery eyes rolled in his sockets, and Ron's gaze lingered on the two giant beetles, one red and one black, for a long time, and finally let out a commanding chirp again, so the rat tide froze, and hundreds of moonlight rats poured into the fungus field, picking all the mushrooms that had not been collected by the swarm, and then retreated in the direction of the tunnel.
"Click!"
Apparently the action of the rat colony had stimulated the two giant insects, their chelerae opening and closing faster, and the beetles behind them began to open and close their chelicera. However, the two giant beetles did not move, and even stopped the beetles behind them that wanted to move forward, allowing the rats to carry the fungus back to the tunnel.
This wasn't a show of mercy for the Moonlight Rats, but because behind Ron, Iron Fang and Shadow regained their strength and came behind Iron Fang!
"Squeak!"
Let's go!
Like the giant insects, Ron did not believe that he had an overwhelming advantage in force and could eradicate the two giant insects in one fell swoop, so after letting the rats take the food from the insects, Ron slowly retreated with Shadow and Iron Fang, returning to the territory that belonged to the rats.
As a result, with the fungus field as the dividing line, the moonlight rat and the insect swarm occupied half of the cave space, forming a confrontation situation.
............
Led by an elderly mushroom with a heavy umbrella cover and three arms, the Iron Fist and God-given joint adventure team slowly stepped into the mushroom territory.
Beneath his feet was a fluffy mushroom blanket, with countless tall mushrooms growing on either side, and with occasional shaking, Green could have red eyes flashing under the canopy.
"These are the larvae of the mushrooms, but more of the mushrooms' food. ”
Born in Candlekeep, Grimm prefers to communicate with his enemies with fiery fireballs, but that doesn't negate his equally knowledgeable abilities.
Mushroom people rely on growing mushrooms for food, they know everything about mushrooms, including the most suitable environment for each mushroom to grow, when to harvest it perfectly, and they use certain types of mushrooms to make items, which are of course only suitable for mushroom use.
Moreover, the newborn mushroom grows like a giant mushroom, without eyes, limbs, and cannot pull itself out of the dirt. However, when the mushrooms are over four years old and reach adulthood, they will have the ability to move freely.
And these four years are also the formative period of the mushroom people's abilities, which determines the size of their potential. During the growth period, the bigger you grow, the more powerful you will be and the longer you will be able to live as an adult.
"Keep up...... Other...... Leaving ...... behind"
"We ...... Coming soon...... It's ......."
Obviously, the old mushroom who led the team in front also understood what Green was doing at this moment through macaroni spores, and it lifted its umbrella cover, stared at Green with fiery red eyes for a while, and then whispered in the ears of everyone in the adventure party.
Then, the old mushroom man picked up his speed and soon led the adventuring party through the narrow sewers to a relatively wide space.
Obviously, this is an underground cave that happened to be attached after the sewer was excavated, because there is a craggy rock wall here, which is hundreds of meters wide and more than ten meters high, and it is full of mushrooms several meters high.
In the middle of the underground cavern, there is even a small lake ten meters square, and an exceptionally large mushroom grows alone on the edge of this small lake.
"Bring them to me......"
Different from the whisper of the old mushroom, a more rich and slightly faster whisper sounded in the ears of the adventure team, and then, the old mushroom led the adventure team to the small lake.
"Hello...... , adventurer ......"
"I am the king of this mushroom tribe...... You can call me...... White Jade ......"
The ground shook, and a huge five-meter-tall mushroom pulled its figure out of the wet dirt by the lake, and then two yellow lanterns lit up under the huge white canopy, and two pairs of thick arms poked out from the handle.
"Hello, Honorable Mushroom King!"
"We are a joint adventure party of Iron Fist and God-given, and we want to pass through the territory of the mushroom tribe you rule. ”
"To do this, we can do something for you that is within our means, as a reward for passing. ”
Bowing slightly, Green re-expressed the will he had just expressed to the mushroom Wang Baiyu.
If you can avoid fighting, try not to fight.
Although the strength of the joint adventure team is enough to sweep the entire mushroom tribe, it will also make the strength of the adventure team greatly weakened, and it will not be able to complete the subsequent missions.
"That's why I let you be brought here......"
"As long as you help us eliminate the mothers of these guys after you pass...... and I will let you pass through the territory of the tribe......"
The function of macaroni spores is not only to convey whispers, in the hands of higher-level mushroom people such as Wang Baiyu, the mushroom man in front of them, macaroni spores can also transmit images!
"These guys steal our mushrooms and kill our larvae......"
"We can defeat them, but it won't be long before they reappear......"
The guy in the image conveyed by the Mushroom King has the same color as the white umbrella cover of the Mushroom King, but the appearance is much more hideous.
It was a swarm of beetles, with oblique chelicerae, semicircular carapaces, and occasional interspersed with several huge giant insects with thick armor, moving on the edge of the mushroom tribe's territory, and whenever the mushroom was not looking, these beetles would swarm up, gnaw off the mushrooms, and move away.
And when the mushrooms go after them, the beetles will sneak into the darkness so that the mushrooms can't find them.
