Chapter 88 Greed is Retributed (1)

Who is so unscrupulous about scraping the land? The surrounding plants have not changed, but the ghost-faced mushroom has disappeared. It must have been picked, and it is useless for anything with bigger buttons.

Idiot, do you understand what sustainable development is?

Hu Qing took a deep breath and decided to take a walk inside. Now that he was a monk, he should be able to walk farther.

Following the previous route, Hu Qing quickly reached the end of the road. There was not a single ghost-faced mushroom in the place he passed. I really admired his colleague.

She continued to move forward, but she couldn't believe that she couldn't find a ghost-faced mushroom.

After walking about twenty meters, the mud under my feet became thicker and thicker, like glue.

Suddenly, an indescribable stench came, and Hu Qing hurriedly covered her mouth and nose. She wore three layers of homemade masks and two pairs of gloves on her hands, but she still couldn't stop the stench from hitting her nose. Could it be that some king-level creature was born?

Ghost-faced mushroom?

Hu Qing's eyes were shining with the light of spiritual stones.

Turning around a big tree, another big tree came into view. Hu made a sound of vomiting and covered his mouth with his hands in time.

There was a person leaning on the trunk of another tree that was obscured by the big tree. To be precise, it was a human figure, covered with ghost-faced mushrooms. The person leaned straight against the trunk, like a shelf slightly tilted, with two

Stretch your arms flat to both sides, this posture resembles a scarecrow.

Countless ghost-faced mushrooms grew out of his body and buried his body. The most eye-catching thing was his face. The whole face could no longer be seen clearly. There was only one ghost-faced mushroom growing on it. A huge one with its roots

The ghost-faced mushroom takes up the entire face.

The umbrella surface is as big as a parasol.

There is a clear and terrifying human face on the parasol. The eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, teeth in the mouth, and the lines at the corners of the eyes are all clear. It looks like the face has been flattened and then expanded. There are even missing eyeballs in the eye sockets.

Still moving.

Even though he was used to seeing ugly zombies, Hu Qing couldn't react for a while when he suddenly saw something weird like this.

She subconsciously ran away and ran back, the mud under her feet pulling her, as if to hold her back.

Until she ran out, Hu Qing's heart was still beating wildly. It was so weird. She didn't understand this world so well, and she was really afraid that the human face in the umbrella would come out and eat her.

She thought that she needed an encyclopedia of plants, no, an encyclopedia of animals and plants, yes, preferably an encyclopedia.

She returned to the city without stopping, got on the carriage, and went directly to Baicao Pavilion.

"Manager Jiang, I have a question to ask."

After Manager Jiang saw off the guests, Hu Qing stepped forward with a basket on his back.

At first, Manager Jiang didn't understand that Hu Qing had come so early this time, and that the basket on his back looked empty at first glance. When Hu Qing said what had happened, he was shocked and couldn't help but his eyes gleamed.

"Mrs. Hu, you really can trust me." Manager Jiang lowered his voice. He was envious of her good luck and blamed her for telling others so easily: "That one is very precious."

Hu Qing smiled bitterly: "I don't know if it's precious or not. I was really scared. That face was so lifelike, it was like eating a face inside. I always felt that that face was the face of a corpse. It was so scary,

It's so scary, I don't understand this, I'm really afraid that face will come alive and attack me."

"Hiss, Madam Hu, you did the right thing, be careful when sailing. That kind of ghost-faced mushroom cannot be picked using the usual picking methods. In this case, I will go with you right away and ask Baicao Pavilion to buy it from you."

Hu Qing shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, you don't have to take care of me like this. I really can't do that."

Manager Jiang went out in a hurry and prepared the carriage from Baibao Pavilion. Hu Qing sat inside with the curtain closed. The carriage was very fast and left the city in a short while.

Manager Jiang was fully armed and isolated from head to toe. As Hu Qing arrived at the place, he saw the ghost-faced mushroom and kept clicking his tongue.

"Stay back and watch me subdue it."

Conquer?

Hu Qing was shocked. Could it be that this mushroom turned into a demon?

Manager Jiang looked at the corpse and sneered: "You can only blame yourself for being too greedy. You actually wanted to take away all the ghost-faced mushrooms here. You deserve the retribution."

Hu Qing was excited again and couldn't help but said: "Manager Jiang, what are the rules? Can't you use light to collect herbs? Is this ghost-faced mushroom spiritual?"

Manager Jiang said to her: "The ghost-faced mushroom has no spirituality, but there are poisonous ants that can make a living on the ghost-faced mushroom. You said that you didn't see a ghost-faced mushroom in the places where you collected it in the past. I looked around and there wasn't one. This person must have taken it.

All the ghost-faced mushrooms here have been picked. He has done all this and cannot escape the eyes of the poisonous ants. He cannot survive without poisonous ants like ghost-faced mushrooms, so he will naturally suffer their retribution."

"The poisonous ants must have penetrated into his skin and planted the spores of the mushroom." He paused: "Few people know that the spores of the mushroom are difficult to grow, but if they are soaked in the venom of poisonous ants and cultivated with blood,

If so, it can grow instantly."

Hu Qing suddenly realized: "That's it."

Manager Jiang: "Ghost-faced mushrooms are not too difficult to find. No one specializes in raising them. This trick was discovered accidentally by us at Baicao Pavilion."

Hu Qing was embarrassed: "You also told me. I promise not to tell anyone."

Manager Jiang laughed: "Ms. Hu is smart. Even if I didn't tell you, you would have guessed the condition of the corpse when you saw it."

Hu Qing smiled and said nothing. She had indeed guessed something, but she never thought that this was the work of the poisonous ants accompanying the ghost-faced mushroom. It can be seen that what was written in those novels was true. There were monsters guarding the spiritual plants.

The small ghost-faced mushroom also has poisonous ants as guards.

Manager Jiang carefully took out a talisman. The yellow talisman paper was stiff and delicate. He held the talisman and turned it around the big mushroom three times before pressing it hard.

"ah--"

The ghost face on the umbrella twisted, and let out a human scream. Its facial features were ferocious, and a black energy spread out from above and attacked the talisman paper. The talisman paper suddenly ignited a blue flame, burning out the black energy.

The black air dissipated, the flame was extinguished, and the yellow talisman returned to normal and fell into Steward Jiang's hand, which he carefully put away.

"Madam Hu, the danger has been eliminated, you can come over."

Hu Qing came out cautiously and stepped forward cautiously, his eyes full of caution.

I only burned one, and there are so many more.

Manager Jiang laughed: "That's the resentment and corpse energy of the deceased."

Hu Qing was surprised, there was resentment hidden in the mushrooms, what a magical world this was.

Manager Jiang was not in a hurry to pick mushrooms. He held a pair of long chopstick-like tools in his hands and rummaged through the mushroom bushes.

"found it."

At the finger position, the chopsticks pried it off, and a ring came out.

Look at the position of your fingers.

Manager Jiang said: "There is no bone and blood in it anymore, this is just a pile of mud now."

Hu Qing thought to himself, it’s really scary.

The ownerless ring was easily opened, and the ghost-faced mushroom inside was thrown far away by Manager Jiang, and fell to the ground, piled high.

As expected, all the ghost-faced mushrooms here were exposed.

With sharp eyes, Hu Qing saw a few marks on the mushroom, which were gray ants.

"Storage instruments cannot contain living objects. These poisonous ants are all dead. The poisonous ants killed this man to avenge their own kind."

Hu Qing thought to himself that it was fortunate that she had not dared to go deep before and there were no poisonous ants on the ghost-faced mushrooms she picked, otherwise she would have been grown into a mushroom man.

Manager Jiang said we couldn't keep these ghost-faced mushrooms. It was better to leave them here and grow new mushrooms.

Hu Qing naturally has no objection.
