Title: Strange feeling
The strong smell stimulated my sense of smell, but fortunately it didn't make me feel uncomfortable. The umbrella-shaped giant mushrooms in front of us should be called mushroom trees. In short, the average height is about ten meters. Hua Rong used a knife to pry off a piece of mushroom trunk. After smelling the smell, he frowned and said to me: "Brother Wu, this big mushroom tree is beyond my understanding." I shrugged: "Brother Hua is a banker who survives in the wild. You don’t even know? Why don’t you understand?” Hua Rong smiled: “Fungi, no, mushrooms, all have a special smell. I smelled it, and the smell was normal, but it was a bit strong. But Their strength is not at the level of fungi." I asked with a smile: "What should the strength be like?" The cook patted his head and continued: "Mushrooms have high water content, low strength, and are easy to be destroyed. Broken. In theory, they cannot grow so big. Even the largest mushrooms abroad are a large colony of bacteria, rather than individual mushroom trees that grow like trees. Because their strength is not enough to support them from growing so big, Like some exoskeleton insects, if they become larger, their legs will be crushed." Hua Rong looked at the cook with a surprised expression. The cook continued: "Before, I thought this was just a field of arbor plants that looked like mushrooms, but now it seems that these are mushrooms. Fungi. But why do they have such strength, and I don't know if they have It has no edible value and is even highly poisonous!”
I asked, "Brother, if they release spores and are poisonous, will we be poisoned if we inhale them?" Hua Rong nodded and said, "Anyway, a large number of spores are definitely harmful to people. We are now Excuse me, go in. Let’s not talk about what’s inside. It’s such a huge mushroom forest. The spores inside can make us unable to breathe.” I was stunned and said, “It’s a pity that we don’t have masks and are leaving human civilization. Life is full of inconveniences. I can try to go in without breathing. How about you two eldest brothers wait for me outside."
The cook laughed: "Brother, you just want to leave us behind. We are not a burden. Why, you also want me to introduce you to a royal singer before you will take us?" Hua Rong laughed: "What a good idea. , but I came first. This matter must be done on a first-come, first-served basis. In this way, I can completely let go of those messy Xiaomi." I smiled bitterly: "Don't worry too much, the experience in a foreign land has made me become Be careful, human life is extremely fragile. Even a person like Big Brother who can use Qigong with great proficiency may collapse at the touch of a finger and cause irreversible damage." The cook smiled and said: "Just kidding, we don't have You can use a mask to cover your mouth and nose with clothes. Although it's a little more troublesome, it's better than if we got separated." I sighed and nodded: "Okay, it's the same old rules, I'll go in first. Wait for me to pull the rope, and you guys can go in first. Come in, and then we will repeat this process and move forward." Hua Rong suddenly asked: "If it is true that there are countless spores here, have those animals adapted to them?" The cook smiled and shook his head: "No matter they Whether we adapt or not, we can’t adapt.”
I shrugged and took a deep breath as usual. When I was about to enter the giant mushroom forest, Hua Rong suddenly shouted: "Something's wrong!" Sense energy changes. The cook also stood up from lying down and looked at Hua Rong who was standing there. At this time, Hua Rong said very seriously: "We can't go in inside." At this time, it was my turn to be surprised, so I hurriedly walked back and asked: "What's wrong, Brother Hua, what did you find? What did you think of?" Rong nodded: "On Earth, we don't know if this is Earth, but the characteristics of mushrooms are similar. They need a lot of nutrients and water to grow. What is the source of energy for them to grow so big? Let's look outside. Could it be that the animal carcasses that arrived were captured by the roots of these mushrooms and allowed them to eat their own meat?" The cook and I looked at each other and nodded in unison: "That makes sense." Hua Rong continued, "If that's true. In this way, if we enter this giant mushroom forest, we may not be choked to death by the spores, but directly captured by their roots as a delicious meal." The cook's expression showed a slight change for a very short time, and then returned to normal. Said: "Yes, if this reasoning is correct, we will be in real trouble, but..." The cook paused, looked around the dim surroundings, and said: "Brother Wu, we have other places we can go. "?" I shook my head: "This giant mushroom forest is the only hope." Then I muttered in a low voice: "I don't know if there is hope yet."
Hua Rong continued: "There is another most critical point, and that is ------" Following the direction of Hua Rong's finger, the cook and I tilted our heads and looked at the top of the underground covered by mist. I hurriedly said: "Those fogs are indeed strange, Brother Hua, what did you think of?" Hua Rong glared at me and said: "Moisture, mushrooms need a lot of water to grow, which means that inside this giant mushroom forest, or underground There are a lot of water elements. If there is indeed water element in it, then..." I said hurriedly: "Then the appearance of the Gu Diao is logical, right?" Hua Rong coughed and then said: "Yes, Brother Wu is known as Zhiduoxing, just say it for me if it’s unreasonable. Anyway, if I don’t let you say it, you will rush to say it.”
I scratched my head and said awkwardly: "Brother Hua, it's up to you to say it. I won't rob it. I won't rob it anymore." The cook smiled: "Hua Rong, you want to say that the water vapor is due to the large amount of moisture in the mushroom forest. It's caused by this, right?" Hua Rong nodded. The cook continued: "Then why is there not grass or small mushrooms under our feet, but a semi-dry surface? Moreover, I guess the small amount of water here comes from the condensation of the layer of fog, not rainfall. So, why does the huge water system stop at this giant mushroom forest?"
Hua Rong smiled slightly, looked at me, and made a gesture of invitation. I took another deep breath habitually, and quickly thought about the principles of formations that the handsome old man Bai told me in a foreign land. Then I sighed and said, "I guess the mushroom forest is in a formation." In it, a barrier is formed. There are things in the barrier that I cannot predict, but I have the power of the moon spirit. No matter what is in the mushroom forest, whether it is Xiangliu Qiongqi, Nine Tails or Pit, I will You can use brute force or wisdom to completely torture them." After that, I untied the rope and said: "Two eldest brothers, don't say that I dislike you two eldest brothers this time. This time, I will go in first, use the rope, and remove the giant mushroom from the giant mushroom. Climb up and walk to avoid those terrible thorns. After confirming that a section of the road is safe, I will come back to you. The rope is limited, so we won’t tie them together anymore." The cook hesitated and nodded. I thought of my experience in a foreign land again, and said: "Wait a minute, maybe I can't hear you when you call me, so I don't respond, but you must not be anxious. If I don't come back in half an hour, you two The eldest brother will find his own way out." Hua Rong asked in confusion: "Is there really a barrier that can block the sound?" I shrugged: "As long as it is energy, it can be blocked or shielded. Poor longitudinal waves like sound are very easy. Isolated." Seeing their uneasy looks, I comforted them again: "Don't worry about me. Even if I don't have the power of the Moon Spirit, with our human's high technology and my mutated senses, I can do it anywhere. Walk sideways." The cook nodded and smiled at me: "You are still the best, go ahead and wait for your good news."
I nodded, tied a slipknot with the rope, put on the short knife, and walked slowly towards the giant mushroom forest, tapping my feet lightly. At this moment, I seemed to feel that I was a hero, a great adventurer, and a patriotic young man who looked forward to death.
Just walking past a giant mushroom, I suddenly felt that the environment inside seemed different from the outside. Although the visual change was not much, physically it felt like I had entered an environment like a spring breeze. At that moment, it seemed like we were back in our school days. Feifei and I were holding hands in the sun, strolling around Xuanwu Lake, from Jiefangmen to the train station, sitting back to back under the white cherry blossom forest, watching other people rowing (not willing to row if we had no money). , very comfortable.
