Idle game leads to another world

The size of the can almost filled the entire passage. The can looked slender, and there were colorful patterns and incomprehensible words printed on it.

Li Chengxi's hand pressed on the top. As his fingers pressed down, the three heard a very strong, sharp whistling sound made by the wind blowing through the narrow place, and a very pleasant jasmine fragrance covered the rotten smell of mushrooms.

Then another hand also reached down, holding a device of unknown use in his hand, and there was a click, and a flame comparable to a large torch lit up.

The next moment, the gas ejected from the can turned into a jet of flame, extending to the far end of the corridor with a roar like a fire dragon.

The high temperature forced the three people to squat down to protect their faces, and they felt that their skin was burned.

A shrill cry could be heard in the distance of the corridor, which might be the howling of some monsters hidden in the mushrooms, accompanied by a series of explosions. It might be that some explosive mushrooms were ignited by the flames.

No matter how dangerous it is, mushrooms are just mushrooms after all, and organic matter is still a little weak in front of the flame jet.

After spraying for almost a minute, the flame finally extinguished, and Li Chengxi's hand retracted again.

At this time, looking at the front of the corridor, all the mushrooms were burned to ashes, and crackling charcoal could be seen from time to time.

Because the underground will maintain a temperature of more than ten degrees for a long time, although it was roasted by the flame, it cooled down quite quickly, and it became passable in a short while.

"The Lord doesn't seem to have a priesthood related to fire?"

Nemia was a little puzzled, but Zora said:

"The Lord can summon a rain of fire, and this level of fire can definitely do it."

Auerde shrugged:

"It should be a prop."

It's true, it's a combination of air freshener and lighter.

As for why Auerde and the others walked forward for so long before asking for help, you have to ask the takeaway boy.

Li Chengxi didn't have air freshener at home, so he needed to order it on the errand platform. As a result, the delivery guy took the wrong road, otherwise he should have arrived half an hour earlier...

Anyway, after this fire, all the mushrooms in front were burned, and the monsters hidden in the mushrooms were also afraid of fire. Now they have returned to dust, and it should be much easier for the three to move forward.

They continued to move forward on the ashes that were still warm. This corridor was not long, and there were no turns. It was just a very straight road.

The flames from the air freshener and lighter extended all the way for nearly a hundred meters. At this time, the three also saw the exit of the passage.

When they walked out of the passage, the first thing that came into view was the mushrooms burned by the flames at the door. The humus that made the mushrooms grow was dried up, and the traces of radioactive flames spread to a distance of five or six meters away.

And looking forward along the traces of the flames, you will see a "forest".

Mushrooms that were almost as tall as trees were crowded in front of everyone. Some of them glowed with blue or orange phosphorescence, some twitched like living things, and some would cling to the ground and slowly crawl.

"Where should this go..."

Nemia sighed, perhaps mixed with "Fuck it".

–--——---

The forest composed of mushrooms sounds like the beauty of Journey to the Center of the Earth.

But in fact, this kind of thing is not so rare. When Zora first went to find the Demon King's Ring, he had seen something similar, but it was not so dense.

But the problem lies in the density.

Whether it is mushrooms as tall as trees or mushrooms that glow like street lamps, these things grow very scattered under normal circumstances.

Just like if plants are too dense, they will compete for nutrients with each other. Mushrooms can't grow so big out of thin air. If they are too dense, they can't grow tall at all.

But the mushroom forest in front of us is not only tall, but also very dense, so there is only one possibility.

It was planted by humans.

As for who planted it, it's hard to say.

The only people who would do this on the surface are usually mages or druids who are interested in mushrooms, but if it is limited to the underground...

"There are signs of repairs here, it's a small path."

"That should be right, we ran to the home of the mushroom people."

The mushroom people are an intelligent race that looks like humanoid mushrooms.

They can communicate with their kind in the distance through spores, and are very dangerous creatures.

They usually live deep underground, but occasionally you can see their shadows in shallow caves close to the surface.

Fortunately, these guys can't bask in the sun, otherwise they would have run to the surface long ago.

Although they are mushrooms themselves, they are also quite good at growing mushrooms. Some of them are like nomads, chasing nutrient-rich areas to migrate, and each time they will leave such a huge mushroom forest.

They are dangerous because the mushroom people will do anything for nutrients. If adventurers encounter them, they may become mushroom cultivation vessels.

Aerdai and the other two walked along an inconspicuous path. On the way, they saw that the shape under the mushrooms around them did not look like simple soil. If you look carefully, you can find a large number of underground creatures and even human corpses here.

At least Aerdai recognized a lot of underground gnomes and gray dwarves. Although they were rotten beyond recognition, they could still be identified by the bones exposed on the surface of the soil occasionally.

This may be why the dense fog encountered by the three people when they came down by boat had excessive negative energy. There were indeed a large number of dead people below.

So this place is not just a mushroom forest, it can even be said without exaggeration that it is a mass grave.

In this state, the three people's nerves were tense, ready to deal with the undead creatures that suddenly jumped out, and the mushroom-like mushroom people.

Aoerdai even gave the two people the delayed poison potion early. Drinking this thing first is like a vaccination, which is better than being poisoned suddenly when you need to fight.

The mushroom people will use spores to invade the bodies of living people. It is not just as simple as poisoning, but even controlling someone's body.

They can also make corpses stand up and help them fight like necromancers, but they do it by controlling spores and hyphae.

The individual strength is not strong, but Aoerdai is worried about being surrounded. The mushroom people never live alone.

But fortunately, this did not happen, otherwise Li Chengxi would have warned in advance.

Maintaining a cautious attitude and continuing to explore forward, Ordai felt that she had walked for nearly half an hour. The concept of time became a little fuzzy underground, and she was not very sure.

At this time, a smell other than mushroom spores broke into the nose, like a burnt smell.

For a moment, the three thought they had gone back the same way, but after walking a few steps forward and passing through several burnt black mushrooms, they noticed that something was wrong.

In front of them was the cap of a huge mushroom, almost as huge as a small hill, with yellow or red dots appearing on the brown cap.

And the cap of this super-large mushroom seemed to have been burned by flames, and burning charcoal could be seen in many places.

This place had been attacked, and it was not long ago.
