138. Mushroom Tribute(1/2)
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the summer heat is spreading throughout the wetlands. During the day, Lu Yu looked at the swamp in the distance and was a little distorted.
This heat reduces the time for a large number of wild beasts and monsters during the day, and hides in their nests one by one, waiting for the night to come before going out to move.
Fortunately, the Mushroom Man is shaded by large ancient trees, otherwise Lu Yu would feel that he lives in a sauna.
Before, he and the fog demon went to the distant swamp area to look for traces of other intelligent creatures living in it. In just one or two hours, Lu Yu was exhausted.
The weather is too humid and hot, and the desire to move rapidly decreases, not to mention the heavy physical burden caused by constant hydration.
This reminded Lu Yu of a joke made by a silly netizen when he was online.
It was said that a northerner read a history book and saw that the Unified Dynasty often suffered heavy losses to suppress the rebellion in the south, so he felt that the generals were a novice.
Lu Yu answered his question with his personal experience.
In this environment, the use of troops in the south is basically only a period of time after the autumn harvest. Once the war situation is stalemate, let alone the issue of war advancement, your soldiers will not fall down one by one due to weather and climate, and you will be full of luck.
When Lu Yu came to this world, he never felt that he was not suitable for the local environment. He was not in good health recently. It was too humid and hot. For people like Lu Yu who have a relatively "soft" growth environment, it was too hard.
Siglid is not much better. As a sub-human, she is still in the dragon blood and her physical fitness should be extremely strong, but even she shows signs of being unable to do so.
"The elves have said before that the environment is the natural enemy of most intelligent races, and this is indeed reasonable." Siglid smeared sweat while teaching the mushroom man to build equipment.
At first, no one felt that the environment in the large wetland was so bad. When they started to notice, their bodies were already infected.
Siglid could also build equipment, but Lu Yu was not in the mood to move anyway. The mushroom people took turns to bring clear spring water for Lu Yu, and the fog demon boiled, and Lulutis added some picked herbs, which could barely make Lu Yu less uncomfortable.
Originally, Lu Yu planned to set off immediately after simply creating a good defensive means for the Mushroom People, regardless of whether they could find the intelligent race through them. Now the plan has changed.
To find the way out of here, at least summer has to pass. Otherwise, with the sacrificial environment here, Lulutis and the Fog Demon are fine, and he and Siglid are likely to fall into a coma halfway.
The mushroom people didn't realize that Lu Yu was uncomfortable because he was not adapted to the environment. He just thought that his god needed to rest. For this reason, several small mushrooms were specially sent to wait for Lu Yu's summoning.
Lu Yu slept on the simple wooden bed made by Siglid for himself. He looked at the mushroom man who built his home not far away and sighed constantly.
"Sigh, come on, open your mouth."
Lu Yu moved his backpack with his head as a pillow, adjusted it as a backrest, and sat up.
He declined Lulutis' feeding and took the bowl from her hand.
Lu Yu didn't even look at what was in the bowl, and drank it down.
A bitter smell rushed into the nose. Lu Yu, who was wearing a mask of pain, quickly waved to the little mushroom, and the little mushroom immediately brought a small wooden cup containing clear water.
After rinsing your mouth, the bitter taste still did not fade. Instead, it was like a very spicy pepper sticking to your throat, constantly releasing a strong sense of stimulation, constantly reminding you of its existence.
He wanted to vomit, but couldn't. Seeing a bunch of small mushrooms staring at him, Lu Yu was embarrassed to act so embarrassed, so he could only endure it.
"What's this time?" Lu Yu returned the bowl to Lulutis.
"A herb called snake bellflower has a bitter taste and strong stamina. The bitterness will last for a long time, but will it work..."
"Do you feel that your head is not so drowsy now?"
After Lulutis mentioned this, Lu Yu really felt that he was not so groggy and his headache was relieved a little.
"Mist Demon and I finally found it for you and Siglid. It is not easy to find so many snake-shaped bellflowers in this big wetland. If you make a bowl a day and drink more water, you won't feel that bad... But you are right, we can't live without this place before the weather turns cold. You two fall on the road, and Wu Yao and I can't drag you forward."
"Still take medicine, wait until the mushrooms have the walls raised, you and Siglid stay at home, and I will go out for a walk and see if there are any other gains. You and Siglid are taken care of here, so don't show off."
Only at this time did Lu Yu envy Lulutis and the Fog Demon. One of them has an amazing body strength and the other has no body at all, and the probability of being affected by the environment is extremely low.
Maybe this is what is called bitter and weak flesh.
The wall of the Mushroom Man is about to be completed, and the thick wall gives each mushroom a strong sense of peace of mind. While they are working, they do not forget to "snatch the ground with their faces" before resting every night.
Lu Yu has always been not used to the fact that these mushrooms express their gratitude and admiration are so sluggish, but it cannot be corrected now. After all, the primary wall building process is not over yet.
Lulutis, the supervisor, carefully assesses the quality of the wall every day, and will be knocked down if it fails and rebuilt the next day.
After several consecutive times, even if the Mushroom Man is less efficient, he will try to build the walls steadily and solidly, making it very difficult for Lulutis to find out any problems.
After Siglid made a large number of tools, the big mushrooms who had learned to use gun shields had begun to learn new tools from Siglid.
These big mushrooms firmly stick to the hammer with the mucus secreted from their hands, imitating Siglid's movements, and wielding the hammer.
Seeing the mushrooms' increasingly fierce hammering movements, Lu Yu felt that if there were really no eye-catching monsters to learn the power of these mushrooms, they would definitely suffer a great loss.
The effect of the third-level earth blade made by the Mushroom Clan leader is barely useful.
After a period of exchange, the Mushroom Patriarch has begun to understand some of the expressions of the "gods" and some of the strong vocabulary meanings of the words.
Lu Yu clearly saw that when Lulutis evaluated the third-level earth blade "so bad that it impressed me", the Mushroom Clan leader was stunned for a few seconds. He was first happy, and then after carefully observing Lulutis' expression, he became a little disappointed and panicked.
Interestingly, the mushroom people are getting more understanding of them, and they have only lived here for a short time.
The difference between races is becoming smaller because the Mushroom Man imitates it.
Although they have not deliberately taught Mushroom people their own language, through the accumulation of body language, Mushrooms have gradually confirmed the meaning of some languages.
For example, the simplest "this", "good", "bad".
This is also one of the reasons why Lu Yu directs Xiao Mushroom people to do things more and more conveniently. He only needs to point to a certain object and then point to the relevant object, and he can often get what he wants.
Even if you are wrong and accumulate experience, the little mushrooms can react quickly according to different actions.
The sound of construction is always annoying, and it is constantly moving stones, mud and walls, and the movements of mushrooms throwing and smashing will always make a lot of noise.
It's nothing for patients like Lu Yu, they can fall asleep anyway.
But it feels different about monsters and beasts near the mushroom man's habitat.
The weather is hot, and the monsters here have changed their rest time to daytime.
This feeling is like you finally ending with 996. On Sunday, you plan to sleep in. As a result, your neighbor takes an electric drill to drill into the wall early in the morning, and the buzzing sounds hit your mind one after another. Even if you use headphones, the vibration, the anxiety that can squeeze in through the gaps in music and the gaps in singing still makes you angry.
At first, monsters and beasts were restrained because there were a few strange creatures in the Mushroom family who had never seen before, and they were in a posture of teaching Mushroom people.
Facing unknown enemies, they acted extremely cautiously and did not intend to conflict with them.
However, the weather was so hot that they couldn't stand it after everyone's work and rest changed.
Many monsters will crawl out of their nests during the day, roaring long and roaring, or howling wildly. The entire swamp and rainforest echoed with these anxious screams, causing the creatures in the wetland to howl.
However, the intimidating screams that followed did not stop the Mushrooms from building walls. At first, they were indeed trembling with fear when they heard these intimidating screams, but when they thought of the gods being by their side and staring at their work, the Mushrooms emerged with endless power.
What's so scary about the threat of some monsters?
There are gods around us!
The Mushroom Patriarch even shouted a slogan: "Don't care about those voices, just pay attention to the instructions of the gods."
So, the daily life near the mushroom man's habitat is, you howl yours, I make mine, everything is the same.
Lu Yu and Siglide were very puzzled. Logically speaking, midsummer should not be the courtship between monsters and beasts. Why do you howl so shrill every day when you reproduce?
Siglider thought for a long time and explained to Lulutis and Luther: "Maybe it is caused by the unique ecological environment of the wetlands."
It's okay, life continuation is sacred and must be respected.
Lu Yu took out the headphones that came with the headphones when he was traveling through time, stuffed them into his ears, and continued to fall asleep happily.
The fog demon continued to transform and provided guidance for the mushrooms to build walls.
Lulutis continued to train several Mushroom people who learned magic.
Siglid continued to build equipment "bangbangbang" and cut wood with the mushroom man and cut wooden boards.
Between the sunrise and the sunset, the last wall facing the swamp is also completed.
Lu Yu stood beside him when the wall was completed, and even took the initiative to consolidate the last wall with the mushroom people.
It is airtight and has no holes. Lu Yu is extremely at ease after being in the wall.
After that, you will be more at ease by building a few simple towers to facilitate checking the surrounding conditions.
The moment the completion was completed, the mushroom man who practiced using it with Siglid and made the tools jumped up with the wall-building mushrooms, raised his hands to the sky, and said something in a mutter.
Looking at the "little umbrella" that kept jumping on the ground, Lu Yu, Lulutis, Fog Demon, and Siglid suddenly felt a sense of joy of empathy, and even felt very proud.
Several small mushrooms that had been serving Lu Yu when he was sick even reached out to Lu Yu for a hug in a happy atmosphere. Lu Yu smiled and picked them up, pinching their soft faces one by one.
The Mushroom People were still very excited after the night. They gathered around the bonfire that imitated Lu Yu and others and took out the fermentation hidden in the tree hole...drinks?
The fermented drinks were drunk by big mushrooms, while the small mushrooms were divided into some sticky and semi-rotten fruits.
These things that can only be thrown into the trash can in Lu Yu's eyes are the best things that mushrooms can enjoy.
Lu Yu found that the way the mushroom people allocated supplies was very interesting.
At this time of celebration, the big mushroom gave all the supplies to the young little mushrooms.
Of course, the mushrooms did not forget to offer gifts to the "gods".
The four learners made by Siglid, and the edges and corners were not polished well. The strange-looking bowl contained clear stream water.
According to the "special ritual" of the gods, these waters were boiled before they were presented.
Some fresh fruits that the little mushrooms picked up from were packed in containers like water scoops.
A large bowl of freshly picked, fresh, tender leaves.
The mucus formed by unknown objects after rotting and fermenting.
