After finding a place to open up and search around, Lu Yu and his party immediately started building a communication circle after confirming that there were no particularly powerful monsters around.
They need to know how far this transmission traveled.
While Lulutis was waving her tentacles and trying to carve out the magic circle, she suddenly felt that the ground seemed to be shaking slightly.
This is not an illusion, because Sigrid has also felt something approaching here.
"It doesn't feel like a very strong monster. I can only smell a little bit of magic, but it seems to be quite a lot."
After that, the mist demon took the initiative to float out and collect information for everyone.
After a while, she flew back.
"There are so many mushrooms, colorful and densely packed, jumping here and there. It's so spectacular."
Finally, she added: "Isn't it possible that Lu Yu grabbed someone's snacks and something happened?"
When a child is bullied, it is natural for a parent to step forward. This is very reasonable.
But this is completely a misunderstanding!
A large number of mushroom people poured out from all directions, surrounding Lu Yu and his party who were carving the magic circle in the center.
The largest of these mushrooms is as tall as Lu Yu, and the smallest is estimated to be only the size of a basketball.
As a mushroom man with purple dots on the blue umbrella appeared, the mushroom men surrounding Lu Yu made way for him.
Lu Yu discovered that even the eyes of mushroom people with the same size as him were still a thin slit, and their eyes were slanted, resembling the emoji characters from the ancient times, either /_\ or \_/
, either with a frustrated face or an angry face, it is difficult to think of anything else.
The big mushroom man with the blue umbrella had a dejected look on his face and looked extremely listless. Watching him move in front of him little by little, Lu Yu always felt like a social animal crawling out of his bed in the middle of the winter and going to work numbly.
déjà vu.
"It seems that he is the leader of this group of mushroom people." Lulutis reminded.
"I don't feel that I'm very strong... But in the final analysis, we bullied other people's children, so we can't beat them up again, right?" Lu Yu said, "How can we express our apology when we can't communicate?"
"Cross-racial communication is very difficult. Body movements cannot effectively convey information, and you don't know whether the other party can understand the graphics you draw."
Seeing the leader of the Mushroom Tribe approaching step by step, Sigrid had already put on her equipment and was ready to strike hard.
Even if it was a misunderstanding before, they were wrong in the first place, and if they can't communicate, they can only make mistakes...otherwise, they can't be beaten passively.
The wind magic in Lu Yu's hand has been mobilized, and he nervously watched every move of the leader of the mushroom people.
"Snapped."
The leader of the mushroom people suddenly grabbed the ground with his face and made a muffled sound.
Seeing the move made by the leader of the mushroom people, Sigrid flew directly in front of Lu Yu and Lulutis. Seeing this scene, her raised fist froze in mid-air.
Lu Yu and Lulutis were even more confused, because they clearly saw that all the mushroom people around them were following the leader of the mushroom people to grab the ground with their faces. It was really painful to watch.
"Lulu, explain." Lu Yu poked Lulutis.
"Explain what?"
"Is this a special custom of mushroom people?"
Lulutis said: "I don't know. As I said before, I have never dealt with mushroom people in Mera Continent, but it seems... they have no ill intentions towards us."
Several little mushroom men quietly raised their heads and peeked at them.
But they were immediately reminded by the mycelium spitted out by the mushroom man next to them, and they lowered their heads again.
Lu Yu, who was confused about the situation, had no choice but to pick up a wooden stick and poke the leader of the Mushroom People who fell to the ground motionless.
The leader of the mushroom people raised his head slightly, saw Lu Yu looking at him, and immediately slapped his face on the ground again.
"Hey, hey, are you really not in pain? Don't be like this!"
Lu Yu has never been so speechless since he came to this world.
What's the matter? Are they too ugly or too scary? Why don't these mushroom people dare to look at me?
Lu Yu didn't move, and neither did the mushroom man. The two sides were in a stalemate.
The strange calm was broken by the mushroom man who came later.
These belated mushroom people brought containers woven with mycelium, which contained a large number of semi-rotten fruits, leaves, dead branches, and unknown substances that were dissolved into mucus.
The "charming" scent of breath.
As soon as they appeared, they went straight to the leader of the mushroom people, put the containers in their hands on the ground, faced Lu Yu, and lay down.
Lu Yu could see that they were mumbling something while lying down, but he couldn't understand them!
The mist demon that turned into a big mushroom and floated in the air finally came back to his senses.
"They offer their food to you, as if they are offering sacrifices."
The mist demon's words reminded Lulutis, and she carefully looked at the tributes presented by the late mushroom people. They were basically the mushroom people's favorite food.
In addition, there are even some eggs of unknown birds in the mycelium container, as well as some fermented juice with a slight fruity aroma.
"They seem..." Lulutis hesitated for a while, then saw the mushroom man lying on the ground, and finally expressed her guess.
"They seem to regard us as their gods."
After a short silence, the corner of Sigrid's mouth twitched.
"The god of the Mushroom Man should at least be a Mushroom Man... Do we look like mushrooms?"
"Races that have not been able to give birth to their own civilization and have only weak intelligence often classify powers beyond their understanding as the power of gods." Lulutis said.
"When Sera was still a saint, she once helped a group of monsters with only a little intelligence in the wild. Like the mushroom men, these monsters offered all their food and things they thought Sera would like."
"Sela told me at the time that the monsters couldn't understand her magic, so they worshiped her as a descended god. According to subsequent observations from the Theocracy, these monsters even carved humanoid totems to represent Saila afterwards.
La, and regard the things Serra took away that day as 'the gods' preferences', and they will collect a bunch of them at specific times and perform sacrifices."
Lu Yu looked at the prostrate mushroom men around him and said thoughtfully: "Could it be that our sudden appearance caused them to misunderstand?"
"The little mushrooms gave us leaves just because they were afraid, but when it came to the big mushrooms, it meant 'gods are coming to accept gifts.'"
"The mushroom people who arrived first directly grabbed the ground with their faces, probably because they were afraid that we would be angry. After all, the offerings were not ready yet, so they had no choice but to use this method to appease the 'wrath of the gods.'"
"So Lulu, what should we do so that they will get up?" Lu Yu asked.
"It's quite simple." Lulutis pointed at the gifts sent by the mushroom man with her tentacles, "Just accept these things."
"Their thinking model is probably that the gods have come and the gods don't want the offerings they sent, which proves that the gods are disgusted with them, and the mushroom people are going to be in disaster."
"So as long as you take these things away and show them that you are satisfied with the offerings, they will feel at ease."
When Lu Yu heard this, he walked towards the place where the offerings were placed suspiciously.
Sure enough, the mushroom men lying next to the offerings raised their heads slightly, glanced at Lu Yu's movements with their small eyes hidden under the umbrella cover, and then quickly lowered their heads.
After discovering this detail, Lu Yu also felt that what Lulutis said might be the correct operation, so he picked up all the mycelium containers containing the offerings and walked back to Lulutis.
When they realized that the offerings had been taken away, the leader of the mushroom people and several of the mushroom people who collected the offerings put their heads on the ground, pushed hard, and their bent bodies slowly returned to a standing position.
The leader of the mushroom people was still very nervous. Dust kept falling from the cover of his umbrella, and he could be seen shaking.
Lu Yu saw the mushroom people around him still maintaining a prostrate posture. He was about to say something, but after realizing that the conversation was ineffective, he tried to open his arms and make a hand-raising gesture towards the leader of the mushroom people.
After repeatedly pointing at the mushroom people around him and raising his hand, the leader of the mushroom people finally made a move.
The dejected expression engraved on the face of the mushroom man clan leader actually changed, and Lu Yu actually read sadness and hesitation in it.
After a while, the leader of the mushroom people waved his short hand and pointed at a big mushroom next to him.
The big mushroom that was hit did not hesitate and walked forward resolutely, then fell to his knees, facing the direction of Lu Yu, with his body half-bent.
Before Lu Yu could figure out what this meant, he felt the aura of magic flowing from the leader of the mushroom people.
The moment the mushroom tribe leader's short hand struck the big mushroom with green light, Lulutis floated over and blocked the blow.
"What are you doing!" Lu Yu was dumbfounded, "Why did you kill the mushroom just because you didn't agree with me?"
Lulutis said helplessly: "Your meaning has been misunderstood. We all understand that you want other mushroom people to get up, but the leader of the mushroom people thinks that you want a bigger mushroom as a sacrifice."
Now Lu Yu and Mushroom Man are just like being hit by Sayer's language seal. If they are slightly off, the misunderstanding can become huge.
After gesticulating for a long time, the leader of the Mushroom People finally understood that Lu Yu was very satisfied with the offerings and didn't need anything now.
The mushroom people got up one after another, twisted their bodies, collided with their companions, and released a large amount of powder.
"Can I understand that they are very happy?" Sigrid understood the current situation without any guidance.
Lu Yu had no choice but to use wind magic to sweep away the floating powder. Lulutis could finally relax and continue carving the magic circle.
The mushroom people did not leave. They were like the guards of Lu Yu and others, guarding the surroundings.
Sigrid lit a fire and planned to make some food. When she was about to go out to find some dead branches, the mist demon reminded her: "Why don't you try to get the mushrooms to help?"
Saying that, the mist demon picked up a dead branch on the ground and found the leader of the mushroom people not far away.
She first showed the dead branch to the leader of the mushroom people, and then turned it into an arrow, pointing in the direction of Lu Yu.
Following the order from the leader of the mushroom people, all the surrounding mushroom people mobilized.
After a while, Sigrid, who had cleaned up the ingredients, saw mushroom men appearing in front of her one after another with dead branches, dropping them, and then leaving.
The hill formed by piles of dead branches soon became taller than Sigrid.
Lu Yu and Lulutis naturally noticed the mist demon's operation, and then they thought that the mist demon could be used in this way!
When they don't understand the language, if they want to convey their meaning, they can use the Mist Demon, a guy who is good at shape-shifting.
Just display the main meanings you want to express graphically, and then correct the errors between the two.
The mushroom people around them still had no intention of leaving. After helping Sigrid collect dead branches, they were all eager to try, as if they were always waiting for help.
"They really look like the believers of the God of Glory that I have seen." Lulutis sighed while drawing the magic circle. "Everyone of them is waiting for the protection of the gods. Therefore, any tasks or orders issued by the Theocracy,
The people below are all rushing to complete it, saying that this can prove that their beliefs are pious enough, so that the gods will favor them and protect their families."
Lu Yu wanted to say something, which sounded so pitiful, but the words came to his lips but he did not say them out.
After the magic power of the communication circle was injected, Lulutis quickly sent a message to Vanessa's cabin where Huo Gu was located, and to the Silver Maple Holy Kingdom where Sera was located.
The next step is to wait for a reply.
Sigrid, who kept putting food in her mouth, noticed something strange about the mushroom man.
"It seems like they've been watching us eat."
"Normally, they all think we are gods. They will carefully observe every move we make. Unless we express dissatisfaction, they will keep watching."
"But I think they are very disappointed. Look at their expressions, they want to cry."
Hearing what Sigrid said, Lu Yu raised his head.
Really, these mushroom people looked aggrieved when they saw Lu Yu and his party feasting, and their bodies looked a little shriveled.
Lulutis noticed the gaze of the leader of the mushroom people and reminded Lu Yu: "You left their offerings and ate your own dry food. They probably thought you disliked them."
"Pay attention, he regards us all as gods, not just me. Why do you always talk about me?"
Lu Yu glanced at the pile of offerings and saw that there was not a single one that he could eat.
"If you don't like it, just dislike it. I cooperated with them before because I was afraid that they would swarm up and destroy the magic circle, and I didn't want to hurt them, so I just coaxed them."
While eating barbecue, Lu Yu said: "We are just passers-by. We can't protect them or provide miracles..."
The mushroom people suddenly became restless and jumped towards the leader of the mushroom people and Lu Yu.
The mist demon who was lazy because there was a mushroom man on guard suddenly shouted: "Sharp-toothed flower!"
The barbed vines of the Tooth Flower shot from a distance and were accurately tied to a mushroom man who had no time to jump away.
The big mushroom that had brought the offering to Lu Yu didn't have time to react, so it was dragged back quickly and was put into the mouth by the sharp-toothed flower.
Suddenly, Lu Yu stood up and everything was over.
"How dare you kill my mushroom!" Lu Yu was stunned for a few seconds, and became angry when he looked at the sharp-toothed flower that appeared in his field of vision waving its vines.
