There were echoes from the fog-shrouded cave in the distance, and the harsh gasps and echoes echoed the terrifying music, intertwined together, like a dissonant piece of music.

Brian immediately gestured to Hesiah beside him.

The sword mage understood and hid with him in the shadow of a tall mushroom.

"Is the wedding going to start soon?" She leaned next to Brian and whispered softly.

"That's right." Brian nodded slightly.

"What do you think the demon lord's wedding will be like?" Hesaya looked at him curiously and expressed her inner doubts.

Unknowingly, Brian had left an image of omniscience in her mind, because he would give her a satisfactory answer to any question she asked.

"We'll find out later. I hope you won't be frightened when you see it."

Brian looked at her with a strange expression, then smiled and said to her, "Today I will take you to steal the demon lord's bride. Believe me, the scene that happens once in a thousand years will be so exciting that you will never forget it."

After saying that, without waiting for the other party to reply, he quickly gave her a quiet look, indicating that she should be silent.

Through the small cave shrouded in mist, Brian saw a row of creatures who were the singers of these songs.

His elf vision allowed him to clearly see that they were a group of figures that looked like humanoid creatures. Their stiff bodies were also wrapped in messy patterns of glowing moss and capsules.

Their songs of madness and joy penetrated the consciousness of the two people and echoed in the depths of their minds:

Toadstools bloom in rocky beds,

The Lord of Love in Chaos and Darkness.

Make a wish! Hope! Laughter!

A gift for a lady!

Petition! Desire! Dance!

Spread the spores of joy!

The face is decayed, the years are fleeting,

Sunless Glade and Zugmoy!

Heart to heart, we share the same feelings,

Two become one, unshakable until death!

Long live! Long live! Long live!

…………

The parade had a strange festive atmosphere. They jumped, danced and danced in weird ways, heading towards the Mushroom Palace deep in the mist.

These fungus creatures and other spore slaves, while dancing wildly to music that only they can hear, continuously release large amounts of spores, filling the air with a strange fragrance.

"Can you dance?" Looking at the parade, Brian nodded thoughtfully and asked the sword mage next to him through telepathy.

"I have never liked aristocratic life and endless parties."

Hesiah was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the other party meant. She felt guilty for some reason, and then quickly answered in a tactful tone.

"Then you can't do it. There's so much nonsense." Brian looked at her and said, "If you can't do it, then forget it and just follow the parade quietly."

"What do you mean?" Hesiah secretly breathed a sigh of relief for no reason and asked again.

"This is the procession for Lady Fungi's wedding."

Brian explained to her via voice transmission, "If the two of us want to join the team and go to Yogmoogu Palace, the easiest way is to appear in front of them and join their team."

Then walk and dance again...

Hesiah added in her mind what Brian had not finished.

She looked at the strange dance of the slow parade and couldn't help but feel a chill. She was secretly glad that she didn't try to be brave just now, but chose to tell the truth.

"Then can you dance?" She looked at Brian with a smile in her silver-gray eyes.

"The team has already gone far. Let's follow quietly to make sure we don't get discovered." Brian did not continue this embarrassing topic and quickly changed his gaze, indicating that she was ready to leave.

Looking at Brian's weird look, Hesiah's lips unconsciously raised a smile, and she immediately followed his footsteps.

Following the parade, the two of them safely arrived at the Yogmoo Ancient Palace mentioned by the Myconid King Bastiffe without any obstruction, a super giant mushroom rooted in this fertile sludge.

The cave where the ancient palace of Yogmoog is located is very large, and this huge mushroom almost fills the entire cave.

Brian couldn't even clearly estimate the size of the giant mushroom standing in front of him from his position.

He saw countless smaller mushrooms growing on its main stem. The huge main stem gradually branched upward into smaller mushroom rods. On the top of each mushroom rod was a large mushroom like the top of a giant tower.

cap.

The floor of the cave near the main pole is covered with a layer of fungus carpet, and a terrifying and weird soft light emits from the various windows carved on the main pole. The discordant sounds that echoed in the distance are still lingering inside.

A putrid stench rushed towards him, like a sense of fear, penetrating his skin and piercing his soul.

Even though he and Hesiah had taken the magic potion prepared by the Myconid King, they could hardly stand the overwhelming stench.

"Do we really want to go in?" Under the sickly pale blue light around her, Hesiah's face was frighteningly white. She suppressed the tumbling of her stomach and said with a slightly hesitant expression.

Originally, she had thought that the Horror Garden she had encountered before was already the most terrifying place.

Who would have thought that compared to the palace in front of you, the Gardens of Terror are more like a pale reflection of the real horrors surrounding Yogmoogu's palace.

She saw tall crescent-shaped ledges surrounding the cave walls, slowly connecting to the cave's lower floor.

The ledges were covered with shimmering carpets of moss and fungi, large and small fungal cysts, and various shapes of pits filled with ichor and ooze.

Some of them have even dried up and formed scabs, just like the scars on human flesh that bulge after healing, which is almost unbearable to look at.

"We're already here, what else can we do?" Brian stabilized his breathing, turned to look at Hesiah, and comforted him: "Let's go, just get used to it and you'll be fine."

Hesiah nodded, suppressed her inner discomfort, and followed Brian closely, stepping into the corridors of the Mushroom Palace filled with pus and mud pits.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the bloated cyst on the ledge in the corridor squirming slightly. Almost instinctively, she quickly reached out her hand, grabbed Brian's arm tightly, and looked at him, "Brian.

, have you noticed...these capsules are all moving?"

Brian stopped and let the aristocratic lady in front of him hug one of his arms tightly and said to her;

"I have noticed it a long time ago. The things wrapped here are all living creatures collected by the Myconid King Philo in the wilderness of the Underdark. Do you think this mushroom palace grew so big by eating soil? That's because it absorbed

The flesh and blood of the creature in the capsule, as well as the nutrients provided by the radiating energy of the surging earth veins."

At this moment, a soft cracking sound of 'bang' echoed in their ears.

A bloated cyst next to Hesiah suddenly burst, and dense spores and foul-smelling black pus burst out like a grape that had been squeezed.

"ah!!!"

Suddenly, a heart-breaking scream of pain and fear echoed in the corridors of the palace without warning.

Hearing this blood-chilling scream, Hesiah, who was already nervous, was caught off guard and actually witnessed the explosion of the rotten capsule.

She was horrified, and various horrific scenes appeared in her mind, and her eyes were filled with uncontrollable fear.

Almost instinctively, she forced down the scream that rose up in her throat, shifted her gaze, and buried her head in Brian's arms with a face full of fear, holding his body tightly with her hands.

This sudden scene left Brian with no time to enjoy the warm and fragrant feeling of nephrite, let alone push her away directly.

However, smelling the faint fragrance in her hair made him feel that his depressed mood suddenly relaxed a lot, and he began to enjoy this atmosphere involuntarily.

But he quickly calmed down, then tightened his right hand around her slender waist, and gently patted her trembling body with his left hand to comfort her.

"Do you plan to continue like this?" Seeing that the frightened girl refused to leave, he asked her helplessly, and then joked with a smile:

"If we delay any longer, the Fungus Queen's wedding will be over. How can we try to steal the wedding?"

He discovered something strange.

As the contact with this noble lady deepened, the courage of the other party seemed to become smaller and smaller.

This reminded him of when he was in college, when a girl could throw him over her shoulder and knock him down, but he had to help her twist the bottle cap.

Hearing Brian's words, Hesiah finally realized something. A blush appeared on her pale and pretty face buried in her chest. She quickly let go of her hands and got out of his arms.

The sudden embarrassment made her forget her fear for a moment, and she even forgot to remind Brian what she had seen.

Brian patted her shoulder, gave her a reassuring look, and immediately curiously went over to check the newly exploded cyst pit.

I wanted to see what it was that scared this noble lady like this.

He walked to the ledge and unexpectedly found a drow wrapped inside. To be precise, it should be a part of the drow.

Because except for half of the face, long white hair and a chest armor that can be barely recognized, the other parts are simply impossible to imagine how this drow was tortured by fungi and decay to look like this.

He was seen thrashing feebly, and the tone of his screams also increased. It was not until his eyes saw Brian's face clearly that his screams stopped abruptly.

At this moment, the drow's frightened expression suddenly flashed with a trace of reason, and then with strange ecstasy, it closed its eyes and slowly sank into the pile of fungi.

A moment!

Brian felt his mind suddenly shaken by the strange smile of the drow. His body suddenly froze in place, and a row of light blue data appeared in his retina:

Will saving throw in progress...

Will save successful!
To be continued...
