In the fluorescent dim environment, a dense forest of fungi blocked the path of Brian and the little goblin Copper.

This is a Zeke wood mushroom forest.

It is a giant mushroom that can grow to more than ten meters.

In addition to serving as an umbrella canopy, the spores the size of a human head can also be crushed to replace grains and become a specialty food in the Underdark.

In fact, the more important application value of this kind of mushroom is its hard wooden handle.

As one of the scarcest wood resources in the Underdark, Zeke wood can be used to make families, containers, bridges, platforms, etc.

Those skilled craftsmen can also use dyeing, sanding and polishing processes to create various exquisite patterns on the surface of Zeke wood.

Brian looked at the goblin beside him with a questioning look.

Travelers in the Underdark rarely venture into the Sunless Woods area, so its detailed location is rarely marked on any map.

Because all roads leading to lightless woodland are full of dangers and difficult to navigate.

The same is true for the Goblin Copper Nugget.

But he knew that there was a group of myconids living in a fungus forest outside the Fansi Trail, and he was very familiar with them.

If there are myconids to lead the way and guide them, not only can they pass through the Aphotic Woods safely, but they will also not be attacked by the exclusive group of myconids in the Aphotic Woods.

"Not here?"

Copper Nugget scratched his head in confusion and said to himself: "That's strange. Taimora is here, so where can they go?"

"Maybe he has already left." Brian said his guess.

At this moment, he suddenly heard bursts of hissing noises, as if there were countless small voices whispering something in a language he didn't understand.

Brian and the goblin looked at each other, and they walked together in the direction of the sound.

They followed the faint sound and came to a natural cave.

Brian saw a group of myconids, attracted by the rich fungus bushes in the cave, gathering together and dancing silently.

Among this group of myconids, four are up to 10 feet tall, while the other five are only half that size.

There was also a myconid larva standing quietly on the side, keeping a certain distance from other similar creatures that behaved strangely.

Myconids are mushrooms that can walk and are full of wisdom.

They are one of the most unusual creatures living underground. They are elegant, quiet, shy and quick to think, and do not trust outsiders.

Because they view all outsiders as destructive and violent.

In order to maintain a peaceful and quiet existence, their homes are often located far away from well-traveled underground passages.

Myconids range in height from 2 to 12 feet.

The difference in size between them and other giant toadstools is that they have limbs - the lower part of the body is divided into two legs in the middle, there are two arms under the 'umbrella', and there are two eyes under the umbrella.

When they close their eyes, they can hide very well.

Random tree fingers will grow on their palms, and some mutant individuals will even grow more than two arms and legs.

"Don't you think it's strange?" Brian, who was hiding aside, looked at the dancing myconids, pressed the copper block that was about to appear, and said in a low voice.

"What's weird?" the goblin hid back again, puzzled.

"I've never seen a dancing mushroom," Brian said thoughtfully.

He found that the group of myconids were intoxicated in their own silent carnival, with only one myconid larvae standing quietly, motionless.

"That may be because you didn't stay in the Dark Territory for long." Copper Block looked stunned and gave a reason dryly.

"Let's go."

Brian thought about it and finally decided to communicate with them before making a decision.

The two appeared together in front of the group of myconids.

When the myconids discovered them, they immediately stopped dancing and surrounded them in a fan shape.

"Sorry, I disturbed you." Goblin Copper Block quickly crossed his arms in front of his chest and said apologetically.

Although Brian didn't speak, he folded his hands on his chest in the same manner.

This is a peace gesture popular in the Underdark. Races from the good or neutral camp will basically not choose to attack immediately when they see this gesture.

The largest of the mushroom crowd came out, stood in front of the two men, and sprayed out a cloud of spores.

The moment the spore cloud fell, Brian immediately observed the color change of the spores with vigilance.

Because adult myconids can release many different types of spores such as paralysis, poisoning, hallucination, etc., this is also their best attack method, so they must be guarded against.

"My soft friends, you are welcome here."

The myconid's thoughts were transmitted into the minds of Brian and Copper through the telepathic connection caused by the spore cloud.

Although myconids cannot speak, these spores allow them to communicate telepathically with each other or with the outside world.

Brian could feel the enthusiasm of the myconids, who were known for their xenophobia, towards them, which made the doubts in his heart involuntarily aggravate again.

He quietly winked at Copper Block, instructing the other party not to reveal the purpose of their visit.

Although the little goblin didn't understand what Brian meant, he still obeyed him honestly.

"Why did you come here and make me search for so long?" Copper Block responded in his consciousness through the spore cloud.

"My soft friends, we myconids never wander around the Underdark." The myconids spat out a cloud of spores again.

"We came here through the dream of 'Madam'. 'Madam' told us that the greatest and most majestic moment in the Underdark is about to come, and the day of joy that belongs to our myconid family is about to come. So, my soft

Friends, come join this carnival with me!"

The words just fell.

The spores ejected by the myconids strangely transform into another colorful and dazzling color.

"careful!"

Brian, who had been on guard for a long time, shouted loudly, and a bright, hot light blade instantly emerged from the waiting 'Dawnbringer'.

The goblin copper block looked shocked, and quickly activated "Shadow Jump" and disappeared into the colorful spore cloud.

Brian dodged out of the spore cloud, and the lightsaber in his hand danced in the crowd of mushrooms with streaks of hot sword light.

In just a moment, all these myconids turned into ignited firemen, until they were burned to ashes.

"What's going on?"

Copper Block looked at Brian holding the Sword of Glory, broke out in a cold sweat, and asked quickly.

"These are a group of corrupted myconids." Brian put away his weapon and turned his attention to the last unannihilated myconid larvae.

"Little Mushroom, what's your name?" He came to the young mushroom man and asked in a soft tone through telepathy, "Do you know what happened here?"

He could feel that this little guy was the only myconid that had not been corrupted.

This is also the reason why he kept his hand.

The myconid larvae took two steps back timidly. After seeing Brian's soft gaze, it slowly put down its guard and sprayed out a cloud of spores.

"My name is Teemo. I was captured by the dark elves from the Lightless Forest. I was attacked by purple insects on the way. All the elves were killed by the purple insects. I escaped by chance. It was Uncle Uzibo who took me in. He

They also promised to send me back to the Lightless Woodland, but for some reason, Uncle Uzibo changed. They all said that they had received the gift of 'Madam' and asked me to join their carnival."

Madam? Is it Zugmoy, the Fungus Queen?

Brian was shocked by his guess.

"Then do you want to go back to the Lightless Woodland?" He squatted next to Teemo, stretched out his hand to caress his little mushroom head, and conveyed his thoughts to him.

"Are you willing to send me back?" The myconid larvae excitedly spat out a large cloud of spores.

"sure."

Brian nodded with a smile, then said with an expression of embarrassment, "However, I don't know where the Sunless Woodland is, so I need you to show me the way, okay?"

"Okay, okay, this is no problem."

The fungus larva happily sprayed the spore cloud, "Although I don't know where the Sunless Woodland is, I have an innate sense of the way home. My father is the king of the mushrooms in the Sunless Woodland. If my elder brother is willing,

Take me home and he will thank you again."

"Then let's go."
