In the large swamp, a fist-sized, cylindrical pink flower first bulged, and then bloomed instantly. At the same time, dozens of needle-shaped stamens silently attacked the Vine Tribe warriors on the boat.
p>
"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 soldier.
"Puff 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 made almost no 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 knows how powerful the old witch is, and everyone is 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 witchcraft medicine. Go get the flowers and bring them 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 weird creatures and dangers in the forest, but most of the tribesmen have already seen it. For them, the swamp is a completely new field that takes 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, and 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!"
Golin climbed up from the bed, without even 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!"
p>
The soldier said urgently: "Chief, we were driven out of the Mushroom Forest."
"What?"
Hearing this sentence, 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 to us, otherwise it would be a question whether we could come back alive."
When talking about the sudden change in the entire mushroom forest, the soldier was obviously frightened. The scene of being attacked by the entire forest was really terrifying.
Shanjia frowned and said, "How could this happen? This has never happened before."
Shanjia thought for a moment and said, "You go back first, I'll go find the witch to discuss it."
"Yes!"
The soldier left in a hurry.
The mountain beetle has no intention either
I wanted to quarrel with the female warrior again, so I put on my 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 pond, holding a piece of tortoise shell in his hand and chanting mysterious witchcraft spells.
As the sound of the witchcraft sounded, the flame seemed to have life, wrapping around the turtle shell in circles and burning continuously, which was very magical.
When the mountain beetle came over, he happened to see this scene in the house.
He did not break in to interrupt the witch, 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."
The mountain armor was still at the door, hesitating whether to go in or not, but the witch had already spoken.
Gojia no longer hesitated, strode into the house, and sat down on the other side of the firepit.
"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 matter. 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?"
Shan Jia answered without thinking: "Because our Shan Jia tribe is familiar with 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? Who are you trading with?"
"The deal between the Turtle God and a mushroom."
"This...what is going on?"
The mountain turtle was confused. He had never heard of these things.
Wu Ye did not continue to lie, and directly told Shanjia an old incident.
At first, the Mountain Turtle Tribe fled from the central part of the Southern Wilderness to the edge of the Great Swamp. In order to choose a suitable place to live, they moved around many places near the Great Swamp.
During a migration, the Shangui 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 life span.
It is simply a miracle that it can be cultivated 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 didn't eat it, the mushroom forest could provide the Mountain Turtle Tribe with a steady stream of magic mushrooms. These magic mushrooms would be very important to the tribe.
Very helpful.
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 establish itself 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 people of the Mountain Turtle Tribe to freely enter the mushroom forest to pick magic mushrooms.
After listening to the witch's story, 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 the 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?"
The mountain eagle was completely shocked, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
