After cleaning up all the food, the three of them rested on their seats contentedly.

Only then did the village chief come over and ask why the three of them were here.

After hearing their purpose, the village chief frowned slightly.

Seeing that he was embarrassed, Adam asked why he was frowning.

"It's actually very dangerous here, and you didn't come through a normal entrance, so it's a lot more dangerous."

"In addition, we have no way to send people to help you now, so you can only rely on yourself to get to the fifth layer."

Seeing that the village chief had something to hide, the three of them naturally didn't want to ask for help again.

However, the village chief still handed them a fourth-layer map that the mushroom people had been exploring continuously.

Looking at their map, although it is very detailed, the cute art style still makes Adam a little uncomfortable.

However, this is much more detailed than the map he has, and he only needs to redraw it.

After thanking the village chief, the three Adams left the mushroom village.

When they left, out of the village chief's room was a human male, his ordinary appearance but his eyes were extremely deep, and he seemed to be able to see through everything.

"Is that okay?" The village chief asked him.

"Yes, I'm sorry for you, village chief."

"You're welcome, your father is an old friend of mine, and I don't believe he would do anything to assassinate the princess."

"They are the only ones who can save my father, and although the future is a little vague, I believe that they must have no problem."

The three of them had just left the mushroom village when they met the first battle.

A giant praying mantis, wielding a giant scythe, swooped out from the shadows of the trees at the trio.

The scythe was so sharp that even Xia Lulu's blood shield was easily cut in two.

Laura raised her fists, but was unable to attack, and despite her denial of it, her fear of insects was revealed.

Xia Lulu was the same, her already pale face was even more bloodless, she was afraid that her attack would make the insect's body fluids splash out.

There was no way, and Adam had to do it himself.

The quill has no effect on this kind of enemy, and Adam can only fight with two painted blades.

As he expected, the insect's massive body gives it more strength and speed than a human.

And the mantis with its sharp double knives let Adam know what the real mantis knife technique is.

Unlike humans, the giant mantis has only one simple way to attack, and that is extremely fast, and its way of making moves is extremely predictable, but that extreme speed makes it impossible for Adam to react.

In just a moment, Adam left several deep blood marks on his body, if it weren't for his extremely exquisite Nine Star Heavenly Steps, I am afraid that he would have died long ago.

But the other party's pair of huge compound eyes can still catch his whereabouts, seeing that this way is not working, Adam can only use the life-fighting knife method, since he can't avoid it, then attack head-on.

Adam, who resisted the mantis's double knife blow, endured the severe pain and slashed at the opponent's fragile joints with his painted blade.

Seeing this, the praying mantis was about to withdraw its twin blades, only to find that Adam's other painted blade had grabbed the barbs on its long knife and made it impossible to recover.

But the praying mantis opened its huge mouthparts and bit directly at Adam.

"It's good to come!" Adam's painted blade was about to slash into the opponent's link, and suddenly turned the knife path strangely, and plunged directly into the opponent's mouth.

A stream of bodily fluids erupted, but Adam didn't stop, instead continuing to turn the painted blade and pull the mantis's head away from its body.

The mantis, which had lost its head, still struggled for a while before it completely lost its mobility.

Adam then broke away from the corpse with scars all over his body.

"You're just looking at it, aren't you afraid that I'll be killed?"

"No, this is to train you, and if you are about to fail, we will naturally take action."

"Then I really thank you."

A body fluid Adam grinned and began to clean the barbs stuck in his body.

Just a giant praying mantis without any magic left Adam seriously injured, and the three of them began to worry about the rest of their journey.

However, to Adam's surprise, his wound had stopped bleeding and was slowly recovering, which seemed to be the effect of the cordyceps feast just now.

After failing to succeed, the two had no choice but to take Adam back to the mushroom village.

The village chief seemed to have anticipated this situation for a long time, and had prepared a mushroom house for the three of them.

After leaving Adam to rest alone, Lulu and Laura began to wander around the village.

They still blamed themselves a little, after all, Adam suffered this because they didn't dare to fight the insects, and this place was full of insects, and they couldn't move forward without overcoming this.

The two of them looked at the busy insects in the mushroom village, and there was still a faint fear in their hearts.

They had no choice but to return to the village chief's room in the hope of seeking help.

After listening to the words of the two, the village chief laughed: "I understand, you can come with me." ”

The two followed the village chief to a huge mushroom house, and as the village chief pushed the door open, the two ladies let out loud screams at the same time.

Dense white worms are feeding on large green leaves, while a long white thread is produced behind them.

"Don't be afraid, they won't attack you, and the best way to overcome your fear is to face it."

The two thought about Adam for a while, and they could only walk in.

The white worm did not react to the arrival of the three of them, and was still trying to bow its head and cook.

The village chief said to the two, "These insects are called silkworms by the princess, and they do not attack but have the most magical magic. ”

Saying that, the village chief took out two pieces of clothes that had been prepared long ago, and his graceful and luxurious appearance made Xia Lulu immediately recognize its name.

"This is a cheongsam?"

"That's right, it's just for you."

When the two of them took the clothes and couldn't put them down, the village chief said to them: "These two clothes are made of the silk threads produced by these silkworms. ”

Looking at the beautiful clothes, the two suddenly felt that the white and chubby insect looked much cuter.

"You can touch it."

The two swallowed a mouthful of saliva, gritted their teeth and stroked the little ones who were cooking, the touch of the flesh made the two of them feel a lot less afraid, and after more contact for a while, they could also follow the example of the village chief and put them in their hands.

"Well, it's much better now, what you need is more contact with insects and find them cute, so that you can overcome your fears."

"This is what the princess taught us, and she called it desensitization therapy."

Xia Lulu stopped her movements at this time, and she asked the village chief: "Your princess is really a powerful character, I have always had a question I don't know if I can ask you." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it, honorable friend."

"Have you met Princess Tina? Does she look like me? ”

"Of course I did, Princess Tina is as beautiful as you, but in my opinion you are not the same."

"Oh, yes, thank you." Xia Lulu's expression was a little lost, but soon her attention returned to the silkworm baby.

"Princess Tina, I must see her once."
