Chapter 6: The Dangers of the Mushroom Grove
The first rays of the morning sun shine through the branches of the fungal tree and sprinkle on the earth.
As the sun slowly rises, the shade of the trees is continuously extended, which makes the already tall fungal trees even more majestic.
At this moment, a group of people are kneeling under the tree and offering their faith to the ancient tree that gave birth to life and symbolizes the Creator.
Vongers was as religious as ever, and in his mind, the Creator was everything.
Just as he leaned down, as usual, to kiss the roots of the fungal tree, a whisper came from behind him.
Vongues frowned and looked behind him, only to see a young man half-crouched not far away, chuckling softly at his female companion beside him.
"Rabbi, you should not behave so frivolously on this solemn occasion, it is disrespectful to the Lord."
When the young man named Rabbi heard this, he stood up directly and responded rather unhappily:
"Vongas, you can't expect everyone to be as religious as you are.
Besides, I've come to the tree every day to bow down as you asked, haven't I? ”
"Alright, let's hurry up and end this boring ritual.
There is not much food in the village anymore, and storing more food before the rainy season arrives is the most important thing to do now.
Oh, the Lord can't do anything for you and me, not even as small as gathering food. ”
After that, the rabbi didn't give Vongues a chance to respond, he pulled up his female companion next to him and left the place directly.
Looking at the other party's distant back, Vongers's amber eyes almost erupted with fire.
At this time, he is fully mature, and he is close to two meters tall, and I believe that he does not need to chase too far before he can bring the rabbi back and repair it properly.
However, Vongers did not do this, he calmed down, turned around and lowered his body again, and continued to lead the group in the ritual of worship.
Rather than teaching deviant young people, he felt that what he was doing now was more important.
…………
Although Vongues was dissatisfied with the rabbin's disrespect for the Creator, he was right about one thing, that is, there was not enough food in the village.
As the population grew, there were no more mushrooms around the fungal tree than they could eat.
As the leader of the clan, Vongues began to organize his men to gather food a little further away after the ceremony.
During the assembly, his eyes kept wandering through the crowd.
However, until the moment of departure, he was unable to find any trace of the rabbi.
The rabbi, who was hiding in the crowd, was slightly relieved to see that Von Guers was no longer looking for him, and turned his head to announce his departure.
The female companion who was with him said quite uneasily:
"Rabbi, you shouldn't have provoked Vongues, just what he said to you before was enough for him to fix you.
With Vongers' faith in the Lord, he will not be able to forgive you.
Really, I don't know what to do now. ”
The rabbi also regretted it in his heart at this time, but he still said stiffly:
"I'm not wrong, I'm just saying what I'm thinking."
"Don't worry, as long as I can collect enough food this time, enough to leave Vongers speechless, I'll be fine."
Although he said it lightly, he was thinking about what to do to get enough food along the way.
Their population feeds on fungi, and in this age of abundant fungi, there is no need to worry about where the food will come from.
However, most mushrooms are not tolerant, so daily reserves are not sufficient.
Just as the rabbi was pondering what to do, he suddenly saw a young deer in the distance, leisurely eating the moss on the ground, and a spiritual light suddenly flashed through his mind.
He hugged the female companion next to him and said excitedly:
"Honey, do you want to change the flavor other than mushrooms?"
…………
Vongues, with his people, stopped next to a dense mushroom forest.
The fungal mushrooms here range in size and size, with the large ones resembling trees and the large canopy that can accommodate several people underneath.
Seeing the clansmen start collecting with excitement on their faces, Vongers did not forget to remind loudly on the side:
"Don't touch the huge mushrooms, some of them aren't as harmless as they seem.
And if it's too big, we can't take them with us. ”
Under his mobilization, the tribesmen began to collect in an orderly manner.
After continuous training, Vongers has become qualified for the position of leader, which also gives him a prestige in the clan that no one else can match.
Of course, no matter how good a person is, he can't be liked by everyone, and there are thorns like rabbi.
After arranging everyone's work, Von Gues began to look for the other party's traces again.
However, after looking around, I still found nothing.
Just when Vongers thought that the rabbi had not participated in the food gathering, a familiar cry for help suddenly came from a distance:
"Help!"
I saw that the rabbi was holding his female companion and was desperately running in this direction.
Blood continued to flow from the female companion's abdomen, leaving a golden trail on the ground.
At the other end of the trail, a moose-like deer snorted and rushed towards the two of them like crazy.
Von Gues had no time to investigate the cause of the conflict, and the most important thing now was to save people, so he beckoned to the others and rushed forward first.
As the moose kept approaching, he couldn't help but gasp.
What kind of behemoth this is, counting the huge antlers, it is almost as tall as a story.
Despite the tricky situation, Vongers shouted at the rabbi:
"Get out of the way, I'll find a way to stop it!"
With that, he walked straight towards the moose.
Vongers's action was seen as a provocation by the moose, which made it even angrier, and it lowered its head and slammed its sharp antlers forward, speeding up towards it.
Von Gues grabbed the antlers at the opportunity, trying to stop its forward momentum.
Despite his strong physique, it's still unrealistic to wrestle with a big man like a moose.
The moose was like a forklift, rushing forward on top of him.
It flailed and flailed its neck, trying to shake Vongers out of the way.
Its furious performance made the others around it dare not approach at all, and everyone sweated for Vongers.
I saw that the moose rushed towards a giant mushroom, trying to use the strength to stab Vongers in the heart.
The moment the moose rushed into the giant mushroom, Vongus let go of his hands and let himself be thrown out.
In the exclamation of the surrounding people, the horns of the moose pierced straight into the handle of the mushroom's umbrella, and the huge umbrella cover quickly retracted as if a switch had been pressed, enveloping the moose in its entirety.
Thanks to the combined action of decomposition enzymes and enzymes, the moose soon fell silent, leaving only the antlers slowly sliding out of the canopy.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly stepped forward and raised their antlers, and they gathered around Vongues, and burst into cheers.
Here, Vongers is also at the end of his crossbow, and he is almost exhausted.
Looking at the bloody holes in his arms and chest pierced by the antlers, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid.
"This time it's just too dangerous."
Just as the crowd was cheering around Vongas, the rabbi rushed to him with his female companion in his arms and said with a crying voice:
"Vongers, you can do whatever you want with me, please save Shari, she's dying."
