A small basket simply assembled from rattan and big leaves was filled with palm-sized red white-spotted mushrooms and blue-spotted mushrooms. The man stepped on the marks left by dragging heavy objects on the ground and trotted all the way to a cave. inside.
The giant beast that almost hit it was lying here quietly.
At this moment, the flesh and blood on the giant beast continued to squirm, and the fleshy mucus film remaining on his body spread more and more, almost covering his entire body, and was still flowing inwards.
Stepping into the cave, it carefully looked at the giant beast for a few times, and then slowly approached after making sure there was no problem.
After another circle around the giant beasts, the blue mushroom man looked at the red and white-spotted mushroom in the basket and felt a twinge of pain.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally took out most of it, crushed it all and sprinkled it on all parts of the giant beast's body.
"Yo ho~"
It was still a little nervous at first, but when it saw that the mushroom was quickly melted into liquid and disappeared on the giant beast, it jumped up and down with joy.
It stepped aside, moved a stone to make a chair for itself, and just sat there looking at the giant beast expectantly.
But it waited and waited. The flesh and blood on the giant beast was still squirming at an irregular frequency, and there was no other movement.
"Eh?"
It tilted its head, a little confused.
He turned to look at the remaining red mushrooms in the basket, and was about to throw them all at the giant beast.
Suddenly, the giant beast's body burst into an extremely fierce struggle, and the strong and sometimes weak aura continued to rise and fall on his body.
The originally slowly squirming flesh and blood became extremely violent, as if there was another creature constantly moving inside the giant beast, eating his body!
How could a little mushroom survive such a terrifying scene?
"ah--"
It was so frightened that it screamed strangely, ignored everything, jumped off the stone bench, spread its short legs and rushed out.
Just as he was about to run out of the cave, he suddenly realized that he still had half the basket of mushrooms left. He immediately gritted his teeth and rushed back to get the basket.
Snapped!
A strange roar suddenly came from the giant beast's body, and countless tentacle-like flesh sprouts popped out of the flesh-colored film covering his body, which frightened Mugu people to the point of being frozen in place, unable to move at all.
But in the end, it was just hit by one of the sprouts, and Lian Mogu was taken out of the cave directly.
Immediately afterwards, all the flesh sprouts that flew out were all stuck to the mountain wall, and each danced like a cocoon, wrapping the giant beast in layers and sealing it off!
After a while, even its original appearance was no longer visible, leaving only a cocoon of flesh that was connected to the cave wall with countless fleshy tissues, and was still struggling and squirming inside.
The blue-spotted mushroom man standing at the entrance of the cave looked at everything in the cave in shock. His little mind could not understand what was happening.
Seeing that the cocoon of flesh was still jumping out of the granulation tissue and was almost completely occupying the cave, it didn't dare to stay, for fear that it would be sucked in by the inexplicable monster, so it turned around and ran away.
One day, two days, three days.
Four days later, the blue-spotted mushroom returned.
This time, it also brought along a frog with a metallic luster stone on its back, and a tiny flash of lightning flashed on it from time to time.
"Quack?"
Frog stretched out his hand and patted Mo Guren with a puzzled tone.
Zhi——
"E-"
Immediately, a wisp of electric current penetrated Muguren's body from its hand, causing the opponent to be shocked on the spot. Smoke emitted from his body, giving off a bit of a burning smell.
But it’s not a big deal if the mushrooms compete alone!
Although it was used to it, it still glared at the stone-backed frog, pointed into the hole, and signaled it to be quiet.
"Ea!"
A lonely mushroom and a frog slowed down their pace, like little friends on an adventure, slowly approaching the cave.
|_• )
|_O)
He poked half of his head up and down, but the frog was completely stunned on the spot.
The granulation tissue that was originally ejected and almost occupied the cave has now shrunk by most of it and has converged back. Many of them have dried up and broken and scattered on the ground.
However, the cocoon of flesh that was constantly squirming before was completely wrapped tightly, but a hard shell was completely formed on the outside.
Through the tiny cracks, four-color clouds can be vaguely seen flowing inside, as if it has been replaced by other substances.
The most obvious thing is that the flesh cocoon continues to exude a high and low aura.
When he is strong, he is no different from a leader, and when he is weak, he is as good as a general.
The aura kept sweeping around, almost marking the area as his own territory, so that after such a long time, no other beast masters even dared to come and check it out.
That is to say, a guy like the blue-spotted mushroom, who is not very smart and has a lot of nerves, doesn't care about so many things.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, Muguren was about to go in, but was grabbed by the frog, "Quack!"
Zhi——
Moguren was shocked again by the electric shock, and his movements stopped for a moment.
The stone-backed frog looked frightened and danced, shouting and jumping.
This doesn't look like a serious creature, so why drag it in to seek death?
"Ea!"
Lan Miao Guren shook his head and made a few gestures.
The big guy looked like he was asleep. This was their winter place, so it would be okay to stay with him!
The stone-backed frog was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know whether he was marveling at Muguren's courage or doubting his brain.
But it looked inside the cave, which was dry, warm, and spacious, and the breath of giant beasts could dispel the threat. Then it looked outside with the withered trees and howling cold wind.
The environment comparison is simply not too different!
"Gua..."
It hesitated, saying that it would take a look before talking.
"Ea!"
The mushroom man nodded with satisfaction and immediately called the stone-backed frog to walk into the cave together.
…
Time passes day by day.
At first, the frogs and mushrooms were very cautious and only dared to stay at the entrance of the cave. They only used the space in the cave to store food for the winter. They also collected the dried meat with shrunken and dried flesh from the giant beasts and stored it separately.
Although it looks a bit scary, if there is not enough food, then there is nothing to eat!
And with the aura of the giant beast in the cave, there are no other beasts nearby who will approach at will, so safety is not a problem.
The two little guys were living more and more comfortably.
November has passed.
As December arrives, the temperature drops sharply, the cold wind howls, and vast amounts of snowflakes begin to float in the sky.
Seeing that the cocoon was motionless again, they simply hid in the hole, staying close to the bland temperature emanating from the cocoon and spreading various hay collected to keep warm.
Time goes on and January arrives.
Snow days have become the norm.
As the snowflakes accumulated deeper and deeper, almost filling the hole, the frogs and mushrooms gradually became unbearable.
They tried to move the cocoon and found that all the fleshy buds connected to the outside were disconnected and it could be pushed.
Without stopping, one frog and one mushroom simply pushed the cocoons to the entrance of the cave, resisting the wind and snow to keep warm, and at the same time releasing coercion to deter the hungry beasts in winter from intruding.
In this way, the two weak beasts cooperated with each other, and with this gift from heaven, they survived the most difficult period of winter.
And the life in the cocoon that had been silent for a long time finally resolved the crisis of external invasion and ushered in a new change of its own.
