The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the midsummer heat permeates the entire wetland. During the day, Lu Yu looked at the swamp scenery in the distance with a somewhat distorted look.
Such intense heat caused a large number of beasts and monsters to reduce their activity time during the day. They huddled in their lairs one by one, waiting for nightfall before going out for activities.
Fortunately, the place where the Mushroom Man was was shaded by a patch of ancient trees, otherwise Lu Yu would have felt like he was living in a sauna.
Previously, he and the mist demon went to the distant swamp area to search for traces of other intelligent creatures living there. In just one or two hours, Lu Yu was exhausted.
Too hot and humid weather can quickly reduce people's desire for activity, not to mention the heavy physical burden caused by constant rehydration.
This reminded Lu Yu of a joke made by a troll netizen he saw when he was surfing the Internet.
It is said that a northerner read a history book and saw that the unified dynasty often suffered heavy losses in suppressing rebellions in the south, so he felt that the leading general was a noob.
Lu Yu answered his questions with personal experience.
In this environment, the use of troops in the south is basically only for a period of time after the autumn harvest. Once the war situation reaches a stalemate, let alone the issue of fighting and marching, you will be lucky if your soldiers do not fall one by one due to weather and climate reasons.
Lu Yu, who has never felt acclimated to the environment since he came to this world, has been in poor health recently. The place is too hot and humid, and it is too hard for people like Lu Yu who grew up in a relatively "soft" environment.
Sigrid was not much better. As a demi-human with dragon blood, her physical fitness should be extremely strong, but even she showed signs of being unable to do her job.
"The elves have said before that the environment is the natural enemy of most intelligent races. This really makes sense." Sigrid wiped her sweat while teaching the mushroom man how to build equipment.
At first, no one thought how bad the wetland environment was, but by the time they started to realize it, their bodies had been affected.
Sigrid could still build equipment, but Lu Yu was in no mood to move anyway. The mushroom people took turns to bring clear spring water to Lu Yu, the mist demon boiled it, and Lulutis added some picked herbs, and then she could barely
Let Lu Yu not feel so uncomfortable.
Originally, Lu Yu planned to set off immediately after simply building defense methods for the mushroom people, regardless of whether they could find intelligent races through them, but now the plan has changed.
If we want to find a way out of here, we must at least wait until summer is over. Otherwise, given the cannibalistic environment here, Lulutis and the Mist Demon will be fine. He and Sigrid will most likely fall into coma halfway through.
The mushroom people didn't realize that Lu Yu was uncomfortable because he couldn't adapt to the environment. They just thought that their gods needed to rest, so they specially sent several small mushrooms to wait for Lu Yu's call.
Lu Yu slept on the simple wooden bed that Sigrid had built for himself, looking at the mushroom people building their homes not far away, and kept sighing.
"What are you sighing for? Come on, open your mouth."
Lu Yu moved the backpack that was used as a pillow behind his head, adjusted it to serve as a backrest, and sat up.
He declined Lulutis' offer of feeding and took the bowl from her hand.
Lu Yu drank it without even looking at what was in the bowl.
A bitter smell rushed into his nose. Lu Yu, who was wearing a mask of pain, quickly waved to Little Mushroom, who immediately brought a small wooden cup filled with water.
After gargling, the bitter taste has not faded away. Instead, it is like extremely spicy chili sticking to the throat, constantly releasing a strong irritation, 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 is it this time?" Lu Yu returned the bowl to Lulutis.
"An herb called snakebell has a very bitter taste and strong staying power. The bitterness will last for a long time, but is it effective..."
"Do you feel less dizzy now?"
After Lulutis mentioned this, Lu Yu did feel that he was not so groggy, and his headache was relieved a little.
"The mist demon and I finally found it for you and Sigrid. It's not easy to find so many serpentine bellflowers in this wetland. Boil a bowl of it a day and drink more water. You can
It’s not that uncomfortable anymore… But you’re right, we can’t leave here before the weather gets colder. If you two fall on the road, the mist demon and I can’t drag you forward.”
"Keep taking the medicine and wait until the mushrooms put up the fence. You and Sigrid will guard the house, and the mist demon and I will go out again to see if there is anything else to gain. You and Sigrid, two flesh-and-blood people,
Body, please be taken care of here and don't show off."
Only at this time would Lu Yu envy Lulutis and the Mist Demon. One of them has an amazing body, while the other has no body at all, and the probability of being affected by the environment is extremely low.
Maybe this is the so-called weakness of flesh and blood.
The Mushroom Man's wall is almost completed. The thick wall gives every Mushroom a strong sense of security. While they are constructing, they do not forget to "grab the land with their face" from Lu Yu and others before going to bed every night.
Lu Yu has never been used to the shamelessness of these mushrooms expressing their gratitude and admiration, but there is no way to correct it now, after all, the first step of building the wall is not over yet.
Lulutis, the supervisor, will carefully assess the quality of the walls every day. If they fail, they will be demolished and rebuilt the next day.
After several times in succession, even if the mushroom man is less efficient, he will try his best to build the wall stable and solid, making it very difficult for Lulutis to find faults.
After Sigrid created a large number of tools, the big mushrooms who had earlier learned to use gun shields have begun to learn new tools from Sigrid.
These big mushrooms cling tightly to the hammer with the mucus secreted from their hands, imitating Sigrid's movements and swinging the hammer.
Seeing the mushrooms' increasingly ferocious hammering movements, Lu Yu felt that if any monster with no eyes tried to learn the power of these mushrooms, it would definitely suffer a big loss.
The effect of the third-level earth blade made by the Mushroom Patriarch is barely usable.
After a period of communication, the leader of the Mushroom clan has begun to understand some of the expressions of the "gods" and the meaning of some strong words.
Lu Yu clearly saw that when Lulutis commented that the third-order earth blade was "so bad that I was impressed", the Mushroom Clan leader was stunned for a few seconds. He was delighted at first, and then became confused after carefully observing Lulutis's expression.
Somewhat disappointed and panicked.
Interestingly, mushroom people are becoming more understanding of them, and they have only lived here for a short period of time.
The differences between races are becoming smaller due to the imitative actions of the mushroom people.
Although they did not deliberately teach the mushroom people their own language, through the accumulation of body language, the mushroom gradually confirmed the meaning of some languages.
For example, the simplest "this", "good", and "bad".
This is one of the reasons why it becomes more and more convenient for Lu Yu to direct the little mushroom people to do things for him. He can often get what he wants by just pointing at a certain object and then pointing at related objects.
Even if they make a mistake, after accumulating experience, the little mushrooms can respond quickly according to different actions.
The sound of construction is always annoying, and the constant movement of stones, soil and walls, and the throwing of mushrooms always make a lot of noise.
It doesn't matter to a patient like Lu Yu, who can still fall asleep anyway.
But it is a different feeling when it comes to the 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 just like when you finally finish 996 and plan to sleep in on Sunday, but your neighbor takes an electric drill and drills hard into the wall early in the morning, and the buzzing sound blasts into your mind one after another, even if you
When you use headphones, the vibration and the anxiety that can squeeze in through the gaps in the music and between songs still make you angry.
At first, the monsters and beasts were restrained, because there were several strange, never-before-seen creatures wandering around the mushroom man's house, and they seemed to be teaching the mushroom man.
Facing unknown enemies, they behaved extremely cautiously and did not intend to conflict with them.
However, the weather was unbearably hot, and after everyone changed their schedules, they couldn't bear it anymore.
Many monsters will come out of their lairs during the day, roaring in the sky, or howling wildly. These anxious calls echo throughout the swamp and rainforest, causing the creatures in the wetland to howl.
However, the intimidating screams one after another failed to stop the mushroom people's enthusiasm for building the wall. At first, they were trembling with fear when they heard these threatening screams. However, when they thought that the gods were beside them and watching their work closely, the mushrooms
Endless power emerged.
What's so scary about some threats from monsters?
There are gods around us!
The leader of the Mushroom clan even shouted a slogan: "Don't pay attention to those voices, just pay attention to the instructions of the gods."
So, the daily routine near the Mushroom Man's habitat is, you howl your way, I make mine, everything is business as usual.
Lu Yu and Sigrid were very puzzled. Logically speaking, midsummer should not be the time for monsters and beasts to court and reproduce, so why were they howling so sadly every day?
Sigrid thought for a long time and explained to Lulutis and Luther: "Maybe it is caused by the unique ecological environment of the wetland."
That's okay, the continuation of life is sacred and must be respected.
Lu Yu took out the headphones that came with him when he traveled through time, put them into his ears, and continued to sleep happily.
The mist demon continues to transform and guides the mushrooms in building a wall.
Lulutis continued to train several mushroom people who were learning magic.
Sigrid continued to make equipment "哓哓哓", and along the way, she felled wood and cut wooden boards with the mushroom man.
Between sunrise and sunset, the last wall of the fence facing the swamp was completed.
Lu Yu stood beside the wall when it was completed, and even took it upon himself to consolidate the last wall with the mushroom people.
It was airtight and there was no opening. Behind the wall, Lu Yu felt extremely at ease.
It will be more reassuring to build a few simple towers later to make it easier to check the surrounding conditions.
The moment it was completed, the mushroom man who was practicing using and making tools with Sigrid also jumped up together with the mushrooms building the wall, raised his hands to the sky, and mumbled something.
Looking at the "little umbrellas" jumping up on the ground, Lu Yu, Lulutis, the mist demon, and Sigrid suddenly felt a sense of empathy and even felt very proud.
The few little mushrooms that had been taking care of Lu Yu when he was sick even reached out to Lu Yu for a hug in a happy atmosphere. Lu Yu picked them up with a smile and pinched their soft faces one by one.
The Mushroom People were still very excited after nightfall. They gathered around the bonfire that was lit in imitation of Lu Yu and others, and took out the fermented...drink hidden in the tree hole?
The fermented drinks were gulped down by the big mushrooms, while the small mushrooms were given some slimy, semi-rotted fruits.
In Lu Yu's eyes, these things that can only be thrown into the trash can are the best things that mushroom people can enjoy.
Lu Yu found that the way the mushroom people distributed supplies was very interesting.
At this moment worthy of celebration, the big mushroom gave up all the supplies to the younger little mushroom.
Of course, the mushrooms did not forget to offer gifts to the "gods".
The four bowls were made by Sigrid, the edges and corners were not polished, and the strange-looking bowls contained clear stream water.
According to the "special ceremony" of the gods, the water was boiled before being offered to the gods.
Some fresh fruits picked up by the little mushrooms from unknown places were piled in containers similar to water scoops.
A large bowl of freshly picked, fresh and tender leaves.
Mucus formed after decay and fermentation of unknown objects.
And... After Lu Yu came here, he pointed out the bunch of mushrooms and other fungi that Lulutis could eat.
After the mushrooms became familiar with some basic languages, they recalled Lu Yu's action, and after realizing that "this" equals "the gods want", they immediately placed these mushrooms in the middle as the most precious gifts.
The things are not precious, but they are the best that the mushroom people can prepare for their gods.
After each of the mushroom men presented their gifts, they quietly waited for Lu Yu's actions and observed their expressions.
Lu Yu did not hesitate this time. He first went up and took away the bowl of fruit, shared the fruit with Lulutis and the others, and then each took a bowl of water.
As for the fungi... they could only accept them. Although they didn't know whether they could eat them, it was obviously the highest-level gift carefully prepared by the mushrooms. If they didn't take it, it would probably make the mushrooms uneasy.
For those rotten and fermented things, Lu Yu invited those little mushrooms who often helped him and Lulutis to come over and gave them one portion for each mushroom.
Seeing this scene, the other little mushrooms opened their eyes hard one by one, while the big mushroom immediately chose to fight for the ground with his face...
After the rotten things were distributed, Lulutis personally distributed the leaves to the remaining mushrooms.
Seeing each of the mushroom men rejoicing and twisting their bodies as if they were drunk, Lu Yu felt that his response as a "god" was perfect this time.
However, there were still mushrooms staring at the mist demon, because they found that the other gods began to enjoy the gifts after receiving them.
