Chapter 18: Devouring Mushrooms

The two of them were on guard when they heard this, Hua Xin stepped forward to block Chiba, and Chiba touched the long whip with his right hand.

Ma Datou hurriedly brought the cloth hat on the bedside and put it on, covering his face tightly.

The hairy head was pushed one by one, and after two or three strokes, the skylight was opened, revealing a pair of big round eyes.

It was a boy of seven or eight years old, white and fat, who was stretching his neck and looking into the hut: "Dad, are you better?"

Ma Datou rubbed his head under the skylight wall, pulled the black cloth on the hat tightly, put his hand in his sleeve, and hid it under the hat, and then said: "You Lao Tzu is fine, don't keep coming to me if you have nothing to do, the province will be caught by your mother and will beat you again." ”

The big and small body stepped on the big stone behind the house, and only barely reached the window, but he could only see a small point on the horse's big head.

Seeing his father himself, Da Zhuang was a little worried and a little aggrieved: "I saw that there were people guarding in front of your house, and I was afraid that they would beat you again." ”

"Bah, you don't lack arms or legs, can you still let them beat me?" You don't care about Lao Tzu's idle business!" Ma Datou tilted his head, peeked at Da Zhuang from the gap in the hat weaving, and felt distressed for a while: "Why have you lost weight, that bastard is not good for you?"

mentioned the bastard, Da Zhuang pouted: "Hmph, I don't eat the meal given by the bastard!"

"Nonsense!" Ma Datou was anxious and slapped the base of the wall.

The wound cracked, and there was a stinging pain, Ma Datou clenched his teeth and held back, not making a painful movement: "You little rabbit cub, he is your father, you are not allowed to call him that! You are also a stupid person, eat when you should eat, don't get along with your body!"

"He's not my father, my father is only you! Besides, everyone else calls him that in private, why can't I call him. "Obviously he came out for his father, but he was scolded by his father, and Da Zhuang was even more aggrieved.

"Others are others, you are you, you do what you have to do, and don't care what others do!"

Ma Datou's tone was a little heavy, and Da Zhuang didn't dare to reply.

"Okay, okay, you go back quickly, you were caught by your mother carefully. Reprimanded Da Zhuang, Ma Datou himself was reluctant, and comforted, "Dad knows that you are good, go back and eat well, obedient, change the town assembly, Dad will take you to have a good look." ”

Da Zhuang was obedient, and was about to go down the wall to go home, just when he swept Chiba and Hua Xin behind the hat, and asked curiously: "Dad, why are these two people in your house? Are they your friends? Why haven't I seen them before." ”

He didn't pay attention to the two, but the two of them had their eyes on him early.

Da Zhuang is no more than a child, and his body is also entangled with demonic energy. Earlier, Chiba had seen that the other children in the village did not have it.

Something is abnormal, there must be something strange about Da Zhuang.

"You don't have to worry about the affairs of adults, so go back quickly. ”

"Okay, then I'm leaving, Dad. Da Zhuang nodded, jumped off the stepping stone, and left obediently.

Chiba followed out, and Hanami stayed behind.

Avoiding the sight of the villagers in front of the door, Chiba went around to the back of the house and followed Da Zhuang, only then did he see that there was also a mushroom on the back of Da Zhuang's neck.

The size, position, and shape of the mushroom are the same as those on the back of a horse's head.

The demonic qi on Da Zhuang's body came from mushrooms, so it was no wonder that it was different from the aura on the adult villagers.

Chiba did not hide his figure, Da Zhuang saw the figure on the ground, turned around, saw Chiba and said, "Why are you here? Why didn't my father come?"

"Your father has had inconvenient legs and feet for the past two days, let me send you off. Chiba saw that Ma Datou didn't want Da Zhuang to know his terrifying appearance, and he didn't debunk it.

"Auntie, you are so good-looking, I have never seen anyone more good-looking than you, are you my father's new daughter-in-law?" Da Zhuang asked innocently.

The demon realm doesn't pay attention to kinship, and Chiba can't quite understand what kind of title "aunt" is, but he feels that there is a cordial feeling when he is called out of Da Zhuang's mouth, and his tone is unconsciously gentle: "I'm not your father's daughter-in-law." ”

"Ah, no......" Da Zhuang was a little disappointed, "I thought my father could find a better daughter-in-law than my mother......"

Chiba didn't know how to persuade him, so he simply changed the subject: "Do you know that you have a mushroom on the back of your neck?"

"I know. "Big and strong is still small, and the new topic can easily divert his emotions, "Can you see it? I told my father and mother that there was an extra mushroom on my neck, but they didn't believe it, and they said that I was stunned!"

Chiba was surprised, the magic mushroom only had a spirit body, and ordinary people should not be able to see it, but I didn't expect Da Zhuang to be able to see it.

"I can see it. This mushroom is harmful, I can take it off for you, would you?"

Da Zhuang nodded: "Then my aunt will pick it for me quickly, I don't see that people have it on their necks, but I have it, I always feel awkward." Before I came to my dad today, I called it a sting!"

Mushroom sting?Chiba is the first time I've heard of it.

Just as he raised his hand to absorb the demonic energy on the mushroom, an ethereal voice that couldn't distinguish between men and women floated into Chiba's mind: "Girl, slow down, please be merciful." ”

This mushroom is also psychic!

In case Da Zhuang was controlled by the monster, Chiba didn't pay attention to the mushroom's words, and directly started to absorb the demonic energy.

The mushroom was anxious: "There is something hidden in the village, I am not the culprit, and I ask the girl to spare her life." ”

Chiba didn't listen to it.

Seeing that the demonic qi was gone, the mushroom was frightened, and said quickly: "It is my work to make money for Engong! But the demonic qi of the village is not born of me, so why don't the girls listen to me tell the details, and then decide whether to get rid of me!"

Hearing this, Chiba withdrew his hand in time and communicated with the mushroom wordlessly: "You talk about it." ”

After the mushroom let out a gasp for the rest of his life, he hurriedly informed: "The Duke of Ma has the grace of watering me, and I will never harm him and those close to him." ”

I didn't feel it on my neck for a long time, and Da Zhuang asked Chiba: "Auntie, have you pulled it out?"

Chiba didn't answer Da Zhuang, and asked the mushroom: "You tell me more about it." ”

It turned out that this mushroom was a demon-devouring mushroom, which specialized in devouring demonic qi as nutrients and grew in places where demonic qi was abundant. After germination, take root three feet first and regenerate the mushroom cap. So there is a saying that "demonic mushrooms, with a radius of three feet, must have demonic energy".

This demon-devouring mushroom was born from the demonic energy on the tortoiseshell.

Not only does the Devourer mushroom need to have demonic energy as a nutrient for its growth, but water is also an indispensable condition for its growth.

When it took root, the thatched hut that was built happened to enclose it into the house, and there was no rain all year round.

When it was on the verge of dying, Ma Datou moved in, found it, and poured a bowl of water on it before it came to life.

At this time, the Demon Devouring Mushroom has opened its mind, and when he saw that Ma Datou was accidentally injured and had no money to heal, in order to repay the favor, he cast an illusion spell, and turned the stone into gold and gave it to Ma Datou.

This is the story of Ma Datou's beating of Shengjin later.

At first, seeing Ma Datou being beaten, the Demon Devouring Mushroom knew that this was wrong and went to the illusion.

How could I think that the villagers were greedy, and after seeing the gold turned into stone, the damage to Ma Datou became even worse.

The Demon Devouring Mushroom didn't know what to do, so for the sake of Bao Engong, he had to recast the illusion.

"What about the demonic qi in the village? Aren't the villagers losing their minds because of the demonic qi?"

Chiba communicated with the Demon Devouring Mushroom, Da Zhuang didn't know on the side, looking at Chiba in a daze, asking or leaving, looking at Chiba pitifully.

The Demon Eater sneered, "Oh, girl, you're really not deeply involved in the world. Do you really think that only monsters or demon cultivators have demonic energy?"
