"Boom..."
In the swamp, a fist-sized, cylindrical pink flower first swelled and then bloomed instantly. At the same time, dozens of needle-like stamens silently attacked the Vine Tribe warriors on the boat.
"careful!"
At the critical moment, the old witch noticed it first, took out a piece of animal skin, shook it suddenly, and blocked it in front of the warrior.
"Puff puff……"
The three needle-like stamens were blocked by the animal skin and pierced deeply into the animal skin. The soldier broke into a cold sweat when he looked at the slender and sharp stamens that penetrated the animal skin.
Nepeta was also startled, because those needle-like stamens were so slender that they barely made any sound when they ejected, and even he didn't react.
The old witch took the animal skin back slowly and returned to his old appearance.
However, after so much experience, everyone in the Teng tribe already knew how powerful the old witch was, and everyone was in awe of him.
"Thank you, old witch, for saving me."
The soldier thanked the old witch gratefully.
The old witch waved his hand and said: "This kind of flower is called needle flower. The stamens are needle-shaped and poisonous. However, the flowers and rhizomes are good materials for making witch medicine. Go and get the flowers back to me."
"okay!"
The soldier also had grievances against the flower. He asked someone to help launch a small boat into the water, and then took the small boat over. He uprooted the syringe flower that almost hurt him, washed the mud, and brought it back to the big ship to hand it over. Old witch.
The fleet continued to move forward, and everyone's vigilance was raised to the extreme, because there were too many weird things in the swamp, and they would get caught if they were not careful.
There are many strange creatures and dangers in the forest, but most of the tribesmen have already seen it. For them, the Great Swamp is a completely new territory that requires time to explore and become familiar with.
The old witch was very excited, because in this environment, he could collect many plants that he had never seen before. This place was a huge treasure for him.
After he understands the characteristics and medicinal properties of these plants, he can include these plants in the Great Wilderness Hundred Drafts, which is very important to the old witch.
…
Southern Wilderness, Mountain Turtle Tribe.
"Chief, something happened, something big happened!"
A warrior opened the door in a panic and rushed into Shanjia's house. This made Shanjia very dissatisfied because he was exploring the origin of life with the female warriors of the tribe.
"How many times have I told you, don't just barge in!"
The mountain turtle got up from the bed, without wearing any pants, and wandered up to the soldier. He glared at the soldier with dissatisfaction and said, "You'd better really have something big to tell me!"
The soldier said urgently: "Chief, we were driven out of the Mushroom Forest."
"What?"
Upon hearing these words, the resentment in Shanjia's eyes immediately turned into disbelief, and even felt a bit ridiculous.
"Please tell me clearly what happened to the Mushroom Forest."
The soldier continued: "This morning, we entered the mushroom forest as usual and picked the magic mushrooms that had just grown. Who knows how many of them we just picked? All the mushrooms in the mushroom forest seemed to be alive, even those that were originally Mushrooms that don’t attack people are starting to attack people.”
"We were attacked and expelled by the entire mushroom forest. It wasn't until we left the mushroom forest that the mushrooms stopped attacking."
"Fortunately, those poisonous mushrooms did not release highly toxic spore powder on us, otherwise it would be a question of whether we could come back alive."
When talking about the changes in the entire mushroom forest, the soldier was obviously frightened. The scene of being attacked by the entire forest was really terrifying.
Shan Jia frowned and said, "How could this happen? This has never happened before."
Shan Jia thought for a moment and said, "You go back first and I'll go find the witch to discuss it."
"yes!"
The soldier left in a hurry.
Goliath has no intention either
Si Si struggled with the female warrior again, so she put on her animal skin clothes and asked the female warrior to go back first.
Afterwards, he washed his hands and walked quickly to the house where the witch lived.
"Crack, crackle, crackle..."
In the wooden house, the shaman of the Shangui tribe stood by the fire pit, holding a piece of tortoise shell in his hand and chanting mysterious witchcraft spells.
As the witchcraft sound sounded, the flames seemed to have life, wrapping around the turtle shell in circles and burning continuously, which was very magical.
When Gojia came over, he happened to see this scene in the house.
He did not break in to interrupt Wu, but stood outside the house and waited patiently.
After a long time, the witch's chanting finally stopped, and the flames in the fire pit returned to normal.
Wu sat down again and carefully observed the cracks on the turtle shell after being burned. He could get the results of divination based on the size, shape, and depth of the cracks.
"come in."
Shan Jia was still hesitating at the door whether to go in, but Wu had already spoken.
Gojia no longer hesitated, strode into the house, and sat down on the other side of the fire pit.
"Witch, a warrior just reported that something happened in the Mushroom Forest, and all the warriors of our Mountain Turtle Tribe were forcibly driven out."
Wu nodded and said, "I already know about this. Judging from the results of divination, this may not be a bad thing."
Shanjia said anxiously: "Witch, the most important goods of our Shanjia tribe are those magical mushrooms. If we lose these mushrooms, what will we use to trade with other tribes in the future?"
The mushroom forest is an important reason why the Mountain Turtle tribe has always lived here, otherwise they would migrate frequently like other tribes.
If the Mushroom Forest is lost, it means that the Mountain Turtle Tribe will not have any advantage when doing transactions with other tribes.
This is something the mountain beetle absolutely doesn't want to see.
Wu did not directly answer Shanjia's words, but asked Shanjia: "Do you know why only our Shanjia tribe can freely enter and exit the mushroom forest, but other tribes cannot?"
Mountain Turtle replied without thinking: "Because our Mountain Turtle tribe is familiar with the various mushrooms in the mushroom forest and can accurately avoid those highly poisonous and aggressive mushrooms."
Wu shook his head and said: "The nearby tribes have always wanted to enter the mushroom forest. They have made no less efforts than us over the years and know more about magic mushrooms, but they still cannot enter the mushroom forest."
After Wu said this, Shanjia also felt very strange, because it stands to reason that those tribes who have lived around the mushroom forest for a long time also know a lot about the mushroom forest.
Why is it that only people from the Shangui tribe can enter and leave the mushroom forest at will, while people from other tribes can only pick up some mushrooms on the outside and cannot enter at all?
Shan Jia tentatively asked: "Witch, does the Mushroom Forest have a favorable impression of our Shan Jia tribe?"
Wu shook his head and said, "No, this is actually a transaction."
"Trade? With whom?"
"A deal between the Turtle God and a mushroom."
"What the hell is going on here?"
The mountain turtle was confused. He had never heard of these things.
Wu Ye did not continue to lie about it, and directly told Shanjia about an old incident.
At first, the Mountain Turtle Tribe fled from the central part of the Southern Wilderness to near the Great Swamp in the border wilderness. In order to choose a suitable place to live, they moved around many places near the Great Swamp.
During a migration, the Mountain Turtle tribe accidentally encountered a mysterious mushroom forest.
At the beginning, all the mushrooms in the mushroom forest were crazy about attacking the people of the Mountain Turtle Tribe.
Later, the Turtle God personally entered the mushroom forest and found the culprit - a mushroom in the demigod realm.
It is very difficult for a plant to become a god, let alone a mushroom with a short lifespan.
It is simply a miracle that he can cultivate to the demigod state.
The Turtle God was overjoyed and wanted to eat the demigod mushroom immediately to increase his strength.
At the critical moment, the mushroom in the demigod realm begged the Turtle God for mercy with his spiritual thoughts, and told the Turtle God that as long as he did not eat it, the mushroom forest could provide the Mountain Turtle Tribe with a steady stream of magical mushrooms, which would be very important to the tribe. It helps a lot.
The conditions of the Demigod Mushroom made the Turtle God excited.
Eating the Demigod Mushroom will only increase the strength of the Turtle God to a limited extent, because when he was in the middle, the Old Turtle God fed him good food.
By agreeing to the conditions of the demigod mushroom, the Mountain Turtle Tribe can rely on this mushroom forest to gain a foothold in the future.
Therefore, in the end, the Turtle God agreed not to eat the demigod mushroom in exchange for the benefits of allowing the Mountain Turtle tribe members to freely enter the mushroom forest to pick magic mushrooms.
After listening to the past stories told by the witch, Shanjia finally understood why only members of the Shanjia tribe could freely enter the mushroom forest.
However, he still has a question: "Why are the warriors of the Mountain Turtle Tribe being driven out of the Mushroom Forest now? Is that demigod mushroom planning to break the contract?"
Wu looked in the direction of the mushroom forest and said calmly: "If I guess correctly, the demigod mushroom is really going to become a god."
"What?"
Golin was completely shocked, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
Mushrooms becoming gods sounds like a fairy tale.
