Arcane Journey

Chapter 63 The Mutant Mushroom Man
"I'm Sarina, a priest who serves the goddess Rose." The drow elf, covered in mold, took a deep breath and said weakly:
"I originally led a patrol team in the wilderness of the Underdark to investigate the cause of the radiation mutation of the leylines. Then I made a wrong decision. I actually agreed to the invitation of the mushroom king Bastifer to help it investigate the master association. .'s anomaly, my patrol team and I were besieged by a group of crazy myconids and became their victims"

Brian and Hisaiah looked at each other, and they turned around at the same time in a tacit understanding, ready to leave.

"I beg you. Show me some kindness, and understand my pain!" Seeing that the two were about to leave, the drow struggled a bit, raised his head with difficulty, and begged them with tears:

"If possible, I hope you will help me report the news that the fungus queen Zugmoi has appeared in the Underdark to the high-level officials of Ancient Orens City, my people."

"You have quite a lot of requests, so do you have any other requests?" Brian was amused by the drow's words, and looked at her with interest.

Although the other party knew that the Fungus Queen had appeared in the Underdark Region, they didn't know it at all. In fact, the instigator of all this was their spider wizard from the ancient city of Orens.

That is to say, there is a high possibility that the incarnation of a demon lord is lurking in the ancient Orens city at this moment.

Therefore, in the final analysis, the source of all these disasters is actually the drow priestesses and the goddess Rose they believe in.

It can only be said that they have suffered by themselves for falling into this situation.

At this moment, Brian vaguely sensed a faint hiss, trembling non-stop, approaching the two at a slow speed.

This made him secretly heighten his vigilance.

"Have"

The slack eyes of the drow emanated a fiery light. She swallowed hard a few times in her throat covered with microscopic mold, and begged in a weak voice: "I want wine. I want to drink a glass before I die. Drow poisonous blood Wine, and give it to me. Last Mercy"

"You're not welcome at all, but I really want to drink too." Brian laughed, and then flipped his palm, and a sharp sword on the ground appeared in his hand.

"Pfft!"

With a cold look in his eyes, he inserted the sword neatly into her chest, into the coat, chain armor and lining underneath, successfully sending her on her way.

Seeing the harvest of 500 experience points, Brian was about to scavenge the loot when he suddenly noticed the surrounding fungus moving in the bushes and across the filthy land.

Immediately afterwards, the sobs of a dozen victims who shared the same fate as the drow elves suddenly changed into a creepy tone of fear.

"careful!"

Hesaiah exclaimed, quickly reminded Brian beside him, and immediately drew out the rune sword, ready to fight.

Brian, who had noticed the abnormality long ago, naturally discovered the monster that appeared not far from the two at the moment the other party reminded him.

As the surrounding spore servants wailed sharply, a disgusting larva-like creature in the shape of ooze stood up strangely not far from the two of them.

However, Brian was keenly aware that the degenerated fungal body on the monster in front of him was showing that it was once a mushroom man.

He signaled Hesaiah not to act rashly, and looked at the other party calmly.

Undoubtedly, under the corruption of the Zugmoi spores, the mushroom man in front of him has completely mutated into a terrifying abomination, which looks like a monster made up of various rotten mushrooms.

So much so that it doesn't look like a mushroom man at all, but more like a rotten fungus slithering on the ground.

Dense mold and moss grow hypnotic patterns on its already shapeless umbrella-shaped mushroom cap. Under the festering mushroom cap, a gap like a mouth continuously emits dark green spore clouds.

"Welcome, two travelers."

The mutated mushroom man opened and closed through the gaps of the dark green cloud, with giggling and spraying words.

Its laughter and words rang loudly in the ears of Brian and Sisaiah, and echoed in the depths of their minds at the same time.

"This mushroom man can actually speak, instead of using teleportation spores." Sisaiah looked at Brian in surprise, and said to him through magic voice transmission.

"It has been completely corrupted by the fungal queen and turned into a real demon form."

Brian looked at it thoughtfully, and replied, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the leader of the Master Association, Yestabro."

"It has become a slave of the fungus queen, why is it still so excited." In order to relieve the depression and tension, Sisaiah smiled jokingly and sent a voice transmission to Brian.

"Although it is unfortunate to be a slave, it is not as terrible as imagined. After all, there is still hope of breaking free."

As Brian said, he was secretly preparing to attack spells, "If you find beauty in the life of slaves, and keep admiring and intoxicated, it proves that it is hopeless. There is no doubt that they belong to the afterlife. By."

"...Your words are quite reasonable."

Sisaiah thought about it seriously, and looked at Brian unexpectedly, showing a hint of a smile.

It's hard to imagine that he could say such philosophical words.

Brian smiled, but didn't answer.

After all, this is a quotation from a great writer, and he just borrowed it temporarily.

He ignored the sword mage, but quickly took out the casting materials, ready to deal with the mutant fungus who was still chattering in front of the two of them.

Facts have proved that the saying that villains die by talking too much is very effective no matter where it is used.

"Are you here for the wedding? Are you the bride's friend or her guest?" The disgusting giggles of the mutant mushroom man continued to ring and echo:
"It doesn't matter! No matter who you are, Yestabro, the leader of the master association, will allow you to participate in this wedding. Let the great sower embrace you with love, and then become a part of her groom, a part of the great body." !"

"Before that, I suggest you hug a fireball first to taste it."

Brian's eyes half-closed due to the blazing light of the fireball in his hand, locked onto the mutant mushroom man's body, and smashed towards it without hesitation.

"Boom!"

The blazing fire exploded, and the high-temperature flames raged in the fungus. The violent impact was accompanied by loud noises, making the ground tremble, and the mutant mushroom man's body was suddenly engulfed by the dazzling flames.

"Aha, these two guests invited by 'Madame' are so enthusiastic." The mutant mushroom man came out of the billowing smoke.

"I go!"

Seeing the enemy safe and sound, Brian was surprised and couldn't help blurting out.

Obviously, even he didn't expect the opponent's fire resistance to be so high, which made him have to re-examine the enemy in front of him.

At this moment, the mutated mushroom man, after being hit by the fireball, looked like a pile of fried mushrooms, but it still couldn't hide the excited expression and words of the 'Dark Cuisine':
"Since the guests of 'Mrs.' have shown such enthusiasm, then, as hosts, we must give them a grand welcome ceremony!"

"Come on, let us use the most solemn ceremony to welcome the arrival of the two guests!"

The mutated mushroom man held up his scorched hands, and a large cloud of spores spewed out from its slit mouth.

In an instant, all the mushroom guards in the entire garden, together with those screaming spore servants, moved at the same time.

They were like a group of rampant zombies, walking stiffly in dense numbers, screaming and surrounded Brian and Hisaiah.
