But when it comes to ultra-small creatures, it seems that there is one beside him. Sherlock suddenly thought of his other natural partner, the blue-feathered bird snake, the dragon snake, which can change its size. It can be big, but it can also be small.
.
Summoning the blue-feathered bird snake again with great expectation, he asked: "Lan, can your dragon snake become smaller?"
"唧——" Lan fluttered, and his body that was originally the size of an arm quickly shrank, and finally became only the size of a thumb.
"It's really big or small." Sherlock looked at Lan's changes in amazement and said happily: "Lan, I need you to do me a favor. Can you fly into the hole and help me take a look at the situation inside?
."
"Chirp chirp -" Lan glanced at the cave in the distance, then flew it into his hair and tied it up, obviously reluctantly.
"Come on, be good, I'll feed you dragon beard worms when I come out." In desperation, he could only use inducements.
Unlike familiars who can choose to sign an equal or master-servant contract at will, the contract between a druid and a natural partner can only be an equal contract, so theoretically speaking, players cannot force the natural partner to do something that the natural partner does not want to do.
The occurrence of this situation will gradually decrease as the goodwill between both parties increases, but there are also some things that go against the nature of their partners that they will not do anyway.
Although Lan signed a contract as soon as it was hatched, Sherlock's favorability with it is currently less than 70, so it is reasonable for the other party to refuse his order.
In fact, as a player, he has an ultimate method, which is to control Lan's body to explore.
But he hadn't yet controlled Lan's body, and he couldn't just make it fly, let alone enter a cave.
Secondly, his dual manipulation skills are not very good. If he controls Lan, his body may not be able to take care of it. If he is discovered by those mysterious creatures, it will be troublesome.
Under the temptation of the dragon bearded insect and Sherlock's repeated persuasion, the blue-feathered bird snake agreed to his request, flapped its wings and flew over.
And he himself opened the shared vision and observed.
The thumb-sized Lan's field of vision was also changed accordingly. The fungi that were originally only about half a meter high were now like skyscrapers, and Sherlock was dazzled by the sight.
And as they continued to get closer, the veil of those mysterious creatures was finally unveiled.
To put it simply, these are a group of mushroom people, but there are differences in size, shape and color in appearance. Four hyphae-like organs separated from the mushroom trunk form human-like limbs, and the umbrella-shaped cap
There are strange human faces underneath.
These creatures did not notice the approaching blue-feathered bird snake, allowing it to fly into the cave very easily.
The bottom of the cave went straight to the ground. After dodging seven or eight mushroom men along the way, Lan flew into a huge space. This distance had almost reached the limit of shared vision.
Looking at such an empty square-like space, Sherlock remembered something. Combining the depth of the dive and the inclination angle of the passage, he had already vaguely guessed where this place was.
It should belong to the same space as the place where the ore-eating ants came down from the cave last time, but why was the fire flow missing last time, and where did these creatures come up from?
The more he knew, the more he was confused. This information should be enough now, and Sherlock was not ready to continue exploring, so he immediately called back the Blue Feathered Bird Snake.
After waiting for another ten minutes and sending the fed Lan back to the star realm, there was only one thing left.
Sneaking close to one of the mushroom men, Sherlock threw a detection scroll over and hurried outside without even looking at the result.
Myconid: Level unknown.
The surrounding myconids were already in a state of panic as soon as they arrived on the surface. At this moment, they felt the magic fluctuations and immediately entered a state of combat readiness. Several slender myconids even ran out chasing the intruders.
It turns out that these creatures are called myconids. According to the final information, they are not ordinary wild monsters. They are probably humanoid intelligent creatures. If they are caught, the consequences may not only be as simple as losing a level.
.
"It's obviously a group of mushrooms, but it runs pretty fast." This really surprised Sherlock. From the outside, it's hard to imagine how fast this creature can move.
Fortunately, these myconids didn't seem to be very willing to leave the mushroom forest. As soon as they reached the border of the forest, they immediately stopped chasing him and watched helplessly as he fled.
After getting rid of the myconid's tracking, Sherlock successfully returned to Redwood Town, and then hurried to Newt to hand in the task.
Newt, the NPC, is indeed not simple. Hearing his description, he whispered in confusion: "It turns out to be an underground myconid. I have never seen this kind of creature again after the Year of Turmoil. How could it suddenly run away?"
Come to the surface, could it be that something happened in the Underdark again?"
"What does this have to do with the previous forest earthquake?"
“Is that space underground created naturally or man-made?”
Seeing that the other party was already immersed in his own thoughts, Sherlock had to say: "Newt, are things troublesome?"
"Oh, I almost forgot about you. It's okay to be troublesome. Myconids have always been a peace-loving race, but they rarely appear on the surface." Newt also came to his senses and explained carefully.
"You should stop interfering in this matter. I need to visit this ancient intelligent race in person. During the few days I am away, I hope you can help me investigate another matter."
Yes, Sherlock finally understood that this was a series of investigation missions.
"No problem, just say it!" Now that we've already fallen into the trap, we can only bite the bullet and go on, hoping it won't be too troublesome.
"I knew you wouldn't refuse. You must have heard about Cape Ask in the northeast of the Supreme Forest."
As long as you are in this area, there should be no players who don't know about the current Cape Ask. The demon army is constantly emerging, the temporary camps of various races, and two related dungeons of five people and ten people are all there.
one slice.
And more importantly, as long as the 10-player Demon Outpost becomes a plot copy, once it is first cleared, the regional plot in this area will be opened.
So now the whole area is crowded with players. At night, the teams of the major guild studios are clearing up wasteland one after another.
I just don’t know what Newt’s intention was in mentioning this place.
Seeing Sherlock nod in confirmation, Newt continued: "For a long time, Cape Usk had another name - Hellgate Castle, until the members of the Harpers used a powerful magic to kill the people who occupied it.
After the demons, this place returned to peace, but now they seem to be back again."
"We suspect that this matter is related to the demon elves living there, and there is likely to be evidence of a connection between the two in the demon outpost. I hope you can help me find it."
