It seems that the fungus owner has given up hope of saving himself.
However, Allen doesn't want to give up yet!
"Master Fungus Master, is there really no way to save your life?"
"You kid, why are you so stubborn..."
The fungus owner was very helpless.
She patiently explained to him why she was terminally ill.
"I am the hive mind of all fungi and myconids."
"Ordinary fungi do not have complex minds and are not afraid of death."
"But mushroom people have minds, love and hatred, and will worry about birth, old age, illness and death."
"The war is destroying children's homes."
"They are afraid...they are in pain...they are desperate."
"The common negative emotions among the fungus people are growing like a snowball, corroding my will, causing me to fall into the abyss of fear, pain and despair..."
"I'm sorry, my will is not strong enough."
The negative mental fluctuations of the fungus owner also have some elements of self-blame and guilt.
"I can't suppress so many, so confusing negative emotions."
"I'm sick, very sick..."
"Unless there is some kind of power that can strengthen my mental strength and help me repair the damage to my will..."
"Otherwise, mental breakdown and the disintegration of the Brood Will are inevitable."
"I am a community of wills, and my spirit is higher than my body."
"When the common will disintegrates, I will usher in spiritual death."
"My body, or the remains..."
"It will continue to grow and multiply on this land in the form of large tracts of fungi."
"However, it makes no sense."
"A bacterial colony without a mind is no longer worthy of being called a bacterial owner."
"Ellen, just leave me alone."
"Take your friends and get out of here."
"Let me die quietly..."
Allen silently listened to the fungus owner's complaints.
I deeply sympathize with her for the pain and suffering she endured.
Frankly speaking, the enemy warlocks who attacked the mushroom garden were certainly responsible for the fact that the mushroom owner was on the verge of death, but our own side who was guarding the mushroom garden was far from innocent.
Both the offensive and defensive sides have caused damage to the local ecology.
Before knowing the fact that the life of the fungus owner is closely related to the survival of the secret realm, who has cared about the life and death of the fungus owner?
At least, Allen himself has never considered this matter.
He is not the only selfish and cruel human being in the mushroom garden.
"I'm sorry, Master Fungus."
Allen said sincerely.
"To tell you the truth, I have a meditation method that can help you relieve your pain and cheer up."
"For a long time, we have only focused on grabbing immediate benefits and completely ignored your feelings."
"Now, please give me a chance to make up for this mistake."
Telepathy transcends language barriers and enables the other party to fully appreciate one's sincerity.
The fungus owner was silent for a long time and finally nodded.
She didn't think that Alan, a fourth-level warlock, had the ability to cure her terminal illness.
But, it doesn’t matter if you give it a try.
Let this young man try his best. Even if it doesn't work, at least it will make him feel better.
With the consent of the fungus owner, Allen established a meditation gathering with her through a spiritual link.
In fact, the roots of group meditation lie in the mushroom garden.
Initially, the fungus owner led her myconid descendants to use this method to communicate with each other and jointly build a colorful fantasy world to entertain their own spiritual lives.
Now, Allen uses the same method to feed back the microbe master.
Instill in her the sixth level of "Requiem Meditation".
Allen just tried it himself.
Requiem meditation can effectively suppress negative emotions and block mental interference from the outside world.
This is exactly what the fungus owner needs right now.
Time passes quietly.
The mental communication between Allen and the fungus owner lasted most of the night.
Requiem meditation, very effective!
When the fungus owner ended his long meditation, his will that was on the verge of collapse had stabilized.
As an external manifestation of mental recovery, the secret realm barrier that was full of loopholes not long ago has repaired itself overnight!
Wild creatures of the Underdark.
The enemy warlock stares eagerly.
There is no barrier crack that can be used to invade the mushroom garden.
An imminent crisis was quietly resolved in this way.
Allen breathed a sigh of relief and was very pleased that the fungus owner had regained his strength.
The benefits of requiem meditation to the fungus owner go far beyond the treatment of spiritual trauma.
The fungus master has evolved!
His current level of cultivation is equivalent to that of an early fifth-level mycomancer.
"Alan, thank you for doing so much for me."
The mental fluctuations emitted by the fungus owner are full of gratitude.
"Tell me, how can I repay you?"
"Master Fungus Master, I need you and your secret realm."
"Protecting yourself is the best reward for me."
Allen's frank answer deeply touched the fungus owner.
"But...my friends, if you cannot keep the secret realm and another group of people takes over, what should I do?"
"There is a secret realm where you are." Allen said softly, "If you can't stay here, I will take you away and go to Silver Moon Island together to give you a new home there."
"I am willing to follow you, but I am too bulky and crawl too slow to keep up with your steps..." the fungus owner said sadly.
"It doesn't matter. I know teleportation and can take you with me."
Allen comforted.
"I'm too big and bulky, I'm afraid it exceeds your teleportation load..."
This question is worth pondering.
Allen's teleportation load limit is only 4 tons.
The fungus owner is like a small hill and must weigh more than 4 tons!
If you can't transport her directly, you can only use a vehicle.
"We can load you into a minecart, transport you to the surface, and then ship it, or transport it in a large airship."
"What will happen to my myconid offspring?"
"Take them on a boat migration together."
"Myconids are afraid of light and can only live in dark areas..."
"Seal the cabin window to block the sun." Allen replied thoughtfully, "When we get to Silver Moon Island, I will send you and the Myconid clan to move to the underground world."
"Silver Moon Island also has an earth umbilical cord leading to the Dark Territory?" the fungus owner asked curiously.
"Of course there is a navel, leading to an underground city."
A blueprint gradually formed in Allen's mind.
"When you get there, you and your heirs will live in the underground city. It will be more comfortable and peaceful than here. No one will disturb you."
"Dungeon Master, will you agree?" Fungus Master asked worriedly, "What if he doesn't welcome outsiders like us?"
"He'll welcome it."
Allen smiled.
"In fact, the underground city master is me."
…
Allen said goodbye to the fungus owner and returned to the camp with a bottle of pink spores in his pocket.
This is a new type of spore produced by the fungus owner after its evolution.
Give Ellen a bottle as a thank you gift for helping her heal.
Allen named this new type of spore "Wangyou".
Forget-you spores are both a special food material and a spell-casting material.
It is also a good medicine for treating various mental illnesses.
Taking a trace amount of "Wangyou Spore" can make people feel a sense of peace of mind and euphoria, and suppress depression, panic, mania, sadness and other negative emotions.
It can also resist negative mental magic of no more than 6 levels.
From this perspective, the forgetfulness spores have similar functions to the Requiem Meditation method.
However, Allen can only use requiem meditation to suppress negative emotions when he is awake.
If he is unconscious, such as in a coma, Requiem Meditation cannot be initiated.
Wangyou Spore can just make up for this shortcoming.
Taking microscopic amounts of spores, Allen doesn't need to stay awake.
Even during sleep, you can still resist all kinds of inner demons and avoid nightmares.
In addition to being used as a tranquillizer, Forgetting Spores can also be used with communication magic such as "message" and "wind communication".
The message sent is converted into mental fluctuations and directly conveyed to the mind of the recipient.
The advantage of doing this is that receiving messages is more discreet.
There are no little balls of light or whirlwinds appearing out of thin air.
The recipient does not need to worry about being exposed. He has just received a magical message.
It is very useful for espionage activities and secret communications!
Allen often communicated secretly with informants in the enemy camp.
Such as Tafman, Sonia, and Spanner.
Every correspondence must be specially chosen in the dead of night.
I am afraid that there are other people around the informant.
Seeing balls of light and whirlwinds emerging out of thin air.
See the arcane mark flashing in the light ball.
There is no guarantee that suspicion will not arise.
It would be such an injustice if the identity of the informant was exposed because of this!
With "Wangyou Spore" as the casting material, this risk no longer exists.
If the recipient is awake, the magical message can be transmitted directly to the recipient's mind.
If the recipient is asleep, the message sent in the past will appear in the recipient's dream in the form of a dream.
The recipient wakes up from sleep and can clearly recall the content of the letter.
Finally, Wangyou spores are also a special ingredient.
Allen opened the bottle cap, took out a small amount of pink spores, held it in his mouth, and savored it carefully.
It tastes delicious.
There is also a faint aroma of roasted nuts.
After swallowing the Wangyou spores, the system prompts will come as expected.
Didi——
"Eat special food: Wangyou Spores!"
"Potential +3!"
"Spirit +1!"
Current attributes: Physique 46, Agility 31, Spirit 52
Potential reserve: 16 points
…
Allen nodded with satisfaction.
Spore bottle, stored in storage bag.
Close your eyes and sleep peacefully.
A dreamless night.
…
That night, Allen slept soundly.
I woke up the next morning feeling refreshed.
However, his good mood only lasted until evening.
An unexpected letter made him think deeply.
Marvin asked him to meet deep in the mushroom forest late at night to discuss important matters in detail.
When he first came to the Mushroom Garden, Allen would definitely keep the appointment.
However, after experiencing the last mole incident, Allen's impression of Marvin changed.
Marvin is not as kind as he seems.
Allen felt more and more that this man was a hypocrite with a hidden knife behind his smile.
During the previous investigation of the mole, Marvin and Hicks were in harmony, deliberately targeting him and trying to label him as a spy.
Allen felt that the reason why Marvin changed his attitude towards him was probably related to the fact that Senior Sister Tanya rejected his proposal and moved to Silver Moon Island.
"Marvin, do you regard me as your love rival?"
Allen secretly guessed.
If this conjecture is true, Marvin does have reason to reach a consensus with Hicks and regard themselves as a common enemy.
Under such circumstances, it seemed too suspicious that Marvin asked him to meet him late at night in a remote area far away from the garrison camp.
So, refuse to go to the appointment?
What if Marvin really knows Angel's whereabouts?
Allen thought for a long time, and finally bit the bullet and sent a letter to the woman he least wanted to deal with.
Regardless of whether Marvin's invitation was made with bad intentions or not.
It is necessary to say hello to Pamela in advance.
If Marvin tries to frame him, at least there is Pamela who can prove his innocence.
Not long after, Allen received a reply.
He originally thought that Pamela would be furious in the letter, asserting that Marvin would never know Angel's whereabouts, and ordering him not to go to the appointment...
The result was unexpected.
Pamela's reply was very short.
"Come to my room and tell me in detail!"
…
When it was almost midnight, Allen left the eldest lady's boudoir with a scent all over his body.
Around his neck, there was a royal blue scarf.
The stitching is neat and elegant.
It’s hard to imagine that Pamela can not only do needlework, but also has decent craftsmanship!
Sometimes I have to admit that the character of a lady trained by a wealthy family is difficult to say, but in terms of versatility, she really has no choice.
The rendezvous place designated by Marvin is located at the edge of the secret realm.
Deep in the mushroom forest, there is an open space surrounded by mushroom circles.
Allen arrived for the appointment on time.
Before arriving at the venue, turn on "Qi Sensing", "Soft Bone and Flesh Armor" and "Celestial Vision" to be fully prepared.
Pamela concluded that Marvin’s agreement was not a good one!
Tonight, I'm afraid there will be a fierce fight.
Allen thought so too, it's always right to be more careful.
Walk through the mushroom forest and come to the clearing.
Allen looked around and saw silence.
Marvin was not seen.
Allen's eyes narrowed slightly and he twitched the corners of his mouth.
It was hard to resist the urge to sneer.
At the agreed place and time, Marvin was not present.
On the other hand, another love rival has been waiting here for a long time.
A hundred steps away, behind a giant mushroom...
A hazy figure slowly floated out.
A strange existence, in an invisible state.
With his clairvoyance, it was not difficult for Allen to see through his true face.
From head to toe, it is nearly three meters tall.
The ferocious figure resembles a human but not a human, like a demon made of smoke.
Behind him, a pair of hazy steam wings spread out.
The demonic gaseous monster is called "Baker Spirit".
It is Hicks’ fourth-level atavistic form!
Marvin himself doesn't step forward and sends Hicks to the front line?
Allen sneered secretly.
Hicks didn't seem to have considered the consequences of serving as Marvin's pawn.
This kind of person deserves to be reduced to cannon fodder.
…
Hicks doesn't feel like he's being used as cannon fodder.
Little does he know that every move he makes has been exposed in Allen's eyes.
Under the double cover of night and invisibility, Hicks quietly approached Allen.
The body made of smoke was stretched into thin threads, like a gray snake, trying to get into Allen's ear hole.
Baker Sylph, a close relative of the elemental wind.
Naturally ecological and amorphous.
When he gets into the body of a living being, he can control the body and turn it into his own puppet.
Hicks is insanely jealous of Allen!
She hates him and the goddess in her heart, Miss Pamela, for being so indiscriminate!
Before tonight, he still had illusions.
She was determined that the reason why Pamela publicly said that Allen spent the night in her room was just to eliminate Allen's suspicion of being a spy, and she did not really have an affair with him.
After all, Allen was invited by Pamela to represent the Silver Moon Monastery to the Mushroom Garden.
If something went wrong, Pamela would not be able to explain it to Silver Moon Monastery.
In order to take the overall situation into consideration, one has to sacrifice one's own reputation.
However, the cruel reality gave him a slap in the face!
Before Alan arrived for his appointment tonight, he lingered in Pamela's room.
Hicks, hiding in the dark and watching, feels like a knife piercing his heart!
Before tonight, Pamela had never entertained visitors late at night.
He also kept the other party in his boudoir for two whole hours!
What kind of dirty deeds happened during this period?
Hicks couldn't imagine it.
Until now, he was still comforting himself.
After all, without seeing the eldest lady taking off her clothes with her own eyes, there seems to be a possibility.
She and Allen were just chatting and playing chess in the living room.
Although it was just that, it was enough to make him jealous, but it was better than having an actual affair.
The tormenting wait has finally come to an end.
Alan walked out of Pamela's room.
Hicks' heart was completely cold!
Baker's spirit is born with a sensitive sense of smell.
Can feel the smallest odor particles in the air.
Hicks smelled the unique body fragrance of the eldest lady from Allen's body.
What makes him even more crazy is...
The scarf around Allen's neck.
He watched the eldest lady knitting it stitch by stitch with his own eyes!
This priceless treasure is now wrapped around Allen's neck.
What does this mean?
It shows that Pamela and Allen are more than just friends!
At least Pamela seems to have really fallen in love with this stinky gangster!
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why this rich young lady knitted scarves for men with her own hands for the first time, just like a middle school girl who fell in love with her first love!
Originally, Hicks was still hesitating whether to accept Marvin's suggestion and work as a thug for the eldest son of the Ganesha family.
Now, there is nothing to hesitate about!
Full of despair and jealousy, all turned into naked hatred.
Hicks secretly swore to the ancestral spirits:
"We must not let Ellen Panther survive this night!"
Hicks' jealousy towards Allen even spread to the goddess whom he once deeply admired.
Now he hated Pamela too.
The dignified young lady is ignorant of good and evil!
Let me, a talented man like Hicks, from a well-known family, hook up with a commoner and notorious cowherd.
Shameless!
Despicable!
Hicks' admiration for Pamela turned into a crazy desire for revenge!
Just killing Allen would be too cheap for him.
Hicks, there's a better plan.
Use the wind spirit form to occupy Allen's body.
Can't we use this body to enter Pamela's boudoir majestically?
Pamela must not be able to see that the adulterer has been controlled by him and turned into a puppet.
I will still have an affair with him like before.
Hicks, who is parasitic in Allen's body, is equivalent to sleeping with the goddess he once considered and got what he wanted.
This brilliant plan made Hicks itchy.
What he didn't expect was...
The first step of a brilliant plan was met with an accident.
"You just dig into other people without saying a word."
"Don't you think this is very rude?"
A touch of ridicule floated in the night wind.
Allen sneered and raised his right hand close to his ear.
The silver vortex in the palm forms a gravitational field.
Hicks' sylph form is ethereal and as light as smoke.
The moment he tried to penetrate the skull through the ear hole, he was attracted by the swirling dragon claws and was sucked out without any resistance!
Allen slowly closed his fingers, and the vortex spun faster.
The strength of the gravitational field has soared exponentially!
The sylph transformed by Hicks was constantly being squeezed.
The loose smoke shrank into a small cloud of gray suspension.
It rolled over Allen's palm and let out a hissing cry.
The right hand maintains the swirling dragon claw and continues to suppress the returning Ancestral Hicks.
Allen slowly raised his left hand, his skin as crystal clear as jade.
A biting cold air emanated from my fingertips.
Both palms slowly closed.
The extremely cold ice soul palm energy merged into the swirling dragon claws.
Return to Hicks and freeze into a fist-sized ice ball.
Allen suddenly removed his palm power!
The Atavistic Hicks, which was compressed to the extreme, expanded rapidly in volume when it lost external pressure, causing an explosion.
Bang!!
Amid the roar, ice shards flew everywhere!
Internal explosion, severely damaging Hicks!
Unable to maintain its atavistic form, it vanished into thin air.
The spirit of Baker transformed into a naked man covered in blood and flesh.
Lying on the ground in a state of embarrassment, moaning in pain.
"Marvin sent you?"
Allen asked Hicks.
Hicks struggled to raise his head, his eyes full of resentment.
He seems to want to act like a tough guy.
Allen glanced at him lightly, not bothering to force a confession.
"Forget it, I'd better find the answer myself. It's convenient."
Open his mind and scan Hicks' thoughts.
As a result, he was very disappointed.
In Hicks' mind, in addition to being jealous of his love rival, he only cared about Pamela, who was really worthless.
Allen shook his head contemptuously, and just as he was about to read his mind deeply, a shout suddenly came from the forest behind him.
"Wait a minute!"
The sound of footsteps came closer and closer.
Allen turned around calmly and looked at Marvin calmly.
"Senior Brother Marvin, you are late."
Marvin snorted coldly and looked at him unkindly.
"Alan! You severely injured Hicks for no reason. What crime do you deserve?!"
Allen couldn't help laughing.
Good guy!
Is it too impatient to confuse right and wrong right from the start?
Hicks, when he saw Marvin, seemed to grasp at straws.
He climbed up with support and complained with grief and anger on his face.
"Senior Brother Marvin! This kid Allen colluded with foreign enemies and became a traitor!"
"When I was caught with evidence of a crime, he became so angry that he tried to kill me to silence me!"
"Senior Brother Marvin! You must uphold justice for me!"
"Junior Brother Hicks, don't worry!" Marvin said proudly, "With me here, no one dares to touch you!"
Allen finally couldn't hold it any longer and laughed out loud.
"Is it interesting for you two to sing in harmony?"
"shut up!"
Marvin's face darkened and he scolded angrily.
"Alan! I treat you well, why would you betray your fellow disciples and do such an unscrupulous thing?!"
Allen chuckled and said lightly: "It would be more appropriate to apply this to yourself."
"Why, now that things have happened, you still want to deny it?!"
Marvin took a step closer, his eyes stern.
"You kid, you have been lying all this time, do you really think I don't know?"
"When you reported back to the academy last year, your cultivation had reached the early stage of the fourth level, and your identity was the elder of the Silver Moon Monastery!"
"But you hid your strength from me, claiming that you were only at the late third level, with ulterior motives!"
"Hiding my strength is a fact and my freedom. It does not prove that I have become a traitor."
Allen stared at Marvin with strange eyes.
"I'm curious, who told you that I hid my strength?"
"Haha! If you really have a clear conscience, why would you hide your strength and be sneaky?" Marvin asked with a sneer.
Allen was tired of his evasive words.
It's a pity that he has a clear mind and cannot detect Marvin's thoughts.
Allen had long been aware of this problem and asked Pamela about it.
From Pamela's mouth, we learned that the gem pendant around Marvin's neck was a magical item.
Can block "detection" and "mind reading" effects below level 5.
Now that the two sides have fallen out, Allen is not polite.
"Huh?! What do you mean?" Marvin's face changed slightly, "I came to the appointment alone and did not ambush any helpers. Please don't accuse me unjustly!"
"Haha! When you say this, do you believe it?"
Allen sneered.
"Unless I'm blind and can't see the two invisible people behind you?"
Marvin took a deep breath, his eyes flickering.
He didn't want everyone to know about what happened today!
With Hicks as a helper, it's enough to deal with Allen.
Why go to the trouble of finding another helper?
The two invisible men Allen saw were definitely not called by him!
In this case, which force do these two lurking guys belong to, and what are their intentions?
Could it be that...Pamela actually planted a spy next to me and followed me here secretly?
Marvin's face lost its calmness.
He turned around suddenly and glanced behind him.
His eyes have been blessed with detection magic and can see through invisible creatures.
However, nothing!
In an instant, Marvin suddenly realized that he had been fooled!
And it is the most despicable and childish deception!
Regret, it's too late.
A mysterious gravitational force suddenly struck.
Tear off the magic pendant from his neck through the air!
In the blink of an eye, Allen reversed the Whirlpool Dragon Claw!
The gravitational force was converted into a repulsive force, which directly blasted Marvin until blood spurted from his mouth and he flew backwards.
So cruel!!
Hicks was stunned.
Under normal circumstances, the two sides in a confrontation should not engage in a verbal exchange and talk about their own reasons.
Why don't you talk about going together and then just roll up your arms and sleeves and start fighting?
This...how did it suddenly become like this?!
Before he finished speaking, he tricked and attacked Senior Brother Marwen...
You kid, don’t play your cards according to the rules?!
