Large blocks of bright purple and red colors twisted like whirlpools, impacting Matthew's retinas heavily.
A single-celled organism with a ring of flagella around its cell membrane swam past him.
The next second.
The cell nuclei in its body spew out brilliant lava like a volcano.
The screen keeps zooming in.
A huge dark cloud suddenly rose above the crater.
Above the dark clouds.
Dozens of holy angels with haloes above their heads were singing.
Their expressions were sacred and pious, and they held holy scriptures with golden crosses on the covers on their chests.
The cross on the cover of one of the books suddenly floated towards Matthew's eyes.
The golden light twisted violently.
Vaguely.
He heard a mournful trumpet.
He saw the continental crust moving slowly, volcanoes erupting one after another, the earth drying up and hardening, and the whole planet filled with a sense of drought and ruin.
Then a great flood fell from the sky.
Countless oceans fill the gaps in the plates and nourish everything on the planet.
The songs of whales and dolphins come from the sea.
Forests sprouted from the ground.
Mountain villages are dotted here and there.
On the smoke-filled battlefield, a tall humanoid creature brandished a weapon and charged at the strange-looking enemy.
In a dry and sealed crypt, a shrine was placed down by a pair of calloused hands.
Then the age of the gods came.
Matthew saw people flying in the sky, tens of thousands of creatures kneeling and worshiping on the earth, and as the sun set, thousands of households recited the names of different gods devoutly before meals.
This scene is like a slideshow interspersed with colorful distorted blocks of color.
Indescribably psychedelic and gorgeous.
Everything started to accelerate after that.
Matthew only blinked, and the world seemed to have passed ten thousand years ago.
Suddenly, he saw the planet explode and shatter into tiny pieces of dust.
After that, the world returned to peace.
Only a huge halo is left shrouding the starry sky.
But his "body" is constantly moving forward and shuttling.
He flew over dust, over stars, through blue or green nebulae and flew to the end of the dark star realm!
Suddenly.
A strong sense of weightlessness hit my heart!
He suddenly woke up.
…
"Hint: You explored the microscopic world.
You observe the world as it changes through the eyes of a small group of microorganisms.
Your knowledge (the origin and changes of the world) +20"
…
"Just now, it wasn't all an illusion?"
Matthew blinked hard and noticed that he was not actually too close to Hussman.
This wonderful visual journey left Matthew with endless memories.
He once thought it was a hallucination, but now it seems that at least part of it is real.
He engraved this part of the memory firmly in his mind.
"Hasman can take the initiative to share the field with me, which shows that he is a veteran in the field of spores, that is, the number of explorations is between 8 and 12 times. There are no other competitors in this field. As long as nothing unexpected happens, he will become the leader in the field.
Lord - that is, meeting the two conditions of "exploring the field 13 times and completing the claim of dominance" is almost a matter of course!"
"No wonder Topaz Dragon Crater vowed that a king of fungi would be born in the future..."
"And I was very lucky this time. I actually completed the "first entry" in one go. This means that I have explored the spore field 2 to 3 times."
Matthew marveled at Hussman's strength.
However, in the process just now, he not only observed the changes in the world from the perspective of microorganisms, but also felt a strong sense of loneliness.
The feeling of loneliness came from two souls respectively - Husman, the Lord of the Rot Sac, and Dudley, the Sun Elf.
The latter is lonely because he has lost all his kin.
Hussman, on the other hand, is lonely because he is the only alternative among his group.
It is indeed very rare for microorganisms to produce such advanced intelligence.
Perhaps it is precisely because they are both lonely souls that they are attracted to each other.
Matthew calmed down and carefully examined the three abilities brought to him by the Spore Realm.
…
"Brewing: You can place a portion of any type of food or fruit into a wine jar, and then use this ability to summon a group of microorganisms from the spore realm to magically ferment the raw materials.
After being closed for six hours, you can get a jar of fine wine.
Note: Different foods or fruits can produce wine with different flavors and properties;
Available times per day: 3 times"
"Decomposition and fertilization: You can quickly decompose the remains of any animal or plant, as fast as 30 seconds or as slowly as 5 minutes, and they will be completely decomposed into nutrients.
You can inject these nutrients into specific plants to grow specific plants;
It can also spread nutrients evenly on the land, slightly increasing the fertility of the land.
Note: This ability is not limited to times per day, but it will consume a certain amount of energy when used."
"Spring all year round: You can maintain a spring-like climate for up to 2 acres of land and space.
This ability is effective for a long time.
The designated land can be changed at least once a month."
…
All three are good abilities.
Fine wine is a hot-seller no matter where it is, not to mention that the wine brewed through this method is fast and good, and there is a certain chance of an increase in attributes!
This ability alone can cultivate a winemaker with a bright future.
“Can any food, fruit or vegetable be brewed?”
"Then what kind of wine can be brewed using mushrooms?"
Matthew was full of curiosity about this ability.
"Decomposition and Fertilization" can be used both as a supplement to the Sanctuary of Life and as proof of the existence of the microbial realm.
It is the cornerstone of the bridge between life and death.
With this ability, Matthew has specific means in the field of communication.
Not only can it be used to plant trees, it can be used to plant anything!
the most important is.
There is no daily limit to this ability.
Matthew is quite confident in his own energy.
If it doesn't work, just use energy potions.
"The cotton harvest in the high leaf collar has failed, and the wheat in the golden fertile field is in crisis. How about I ask Rhaegar for another piece of land and try to be self-sufficient?"
"But the magic consultant is somewhat overqualified for farming. I have to ask Rhaegar to give me a lot of money."
Matthew thought wildly.
As for the final "Four Seasons Like Spring", this is also a magical skill of the farming system.
It is roughly estimated that 60 oak trees can be planted on two acres of land.
This means that his tree planting progress can be improved a lot in the summer.
In addition, this capability can also provide the most basic food supply in times of climate crisis.
And except for the spore realm.
Matthew's Plague Sphere is also boosted while active and resonant.
He took a look.
The current plague field is also entry level (2 times).
…
"Hint: You are one step further in the plague realm.
-
Your ability "Rot Sac Mastery" has been strengthened, and the improvement effect is as follows——
The saprospora spores you control and spread through your abilities will cause severe abdominal pain after being inhaled into the digestive tract. After 10 minutes of abdominal pain, the spore host will break out into uncontrollable diarrhea.
-
You gain the ability "Blinding Fungi".
Blinding Fungus: You can activate this ability at any time. After activation, a group of unique fungi will be attached to the palms of your hands.
Thereafter, when you use unarmed melee attacks, as long as you come into contact with the enemy's skin, there is a high probability of causing the "blind" effect on the target after 5 seconds.
The duration of the blinding effect depends on the opponent's physique and toughness, and the shortest will not be less than 18 seconds.
Specifically, you can designate a wild form to share the effects of this ability."
…
When you see the previous description.
Matthew also felt that the "Blinding Fungus" ability was a bit useless.
I am a mage and a master of summoning. How can I easily go forward and engage in close combat with others?
What's more, it requires bare hands.
This is completely inconsistent with Matthew's actual combat scenario. No matter what, he would still have a dagger or something.
But since it can be used in wilderness mode.
Matthew shared it with "Moon Bear" without hesitation.
At this time, even if the moon bear touches the buttocks, there is a high probability that he will be blinded directly.
You can take things by surprise a little bit.
As for the strengthening of rot sac control, it can only be regarded as a small improvement.
After all, he has reached Matthew's current level.
How to deliver the rot cyst spores silently into the enemy's body is a bigger problem.
Once activated, the rot cyst spores will cause great trouble to the enemy.
The abdominal pain effect can only be said to be the icing on the cake.
All in all, Matthew is very grateful for Hussman's generosity.
This is tantamount to gaining access to a very critical area without paying any price.
Although this is related to the current difficult situation of the Spore Society.
But it also helped Matthew a lot.
He subconsciously took two steps forward, wanting to lean in and thank Hasman for sharing.
Who knows the next second.
The huge white flower shrank back violently as if frightened!
Wow!
The petals fold upward, the flower bones are flying all over the sky, and a lot of sand is raised.
Less than five seconds.
Hasman completely shrank into the ground!
The sand is extremely flat.
Only a circle of scattered sand around it proves that the magical life has appeared.
"Don't go forward, Hussmann is too shy."
Dudley hurriedly came over and said:
"He has already recognized you, but after all, this is the first time he has met you, so he is embarrassed to have further contact."
"If you could stay on the Eternal Island for a few more days, he might be willing to let you touch him."
"Speaking of which, welcome to the Spore Society!"
Matthew smiled and shook his hand.
At this time, Margaret next to her finally couldn't hold it any longer and gave him a wink.
The two came to the side and whispered.
"Are you sure you want to join this association? I still think this sun elf is a bit too weird. A fey creature reproduces through microorganisms?"
"Are you sure he won't go astray?"
Margaret expressed her concerns.
Matthew thought for a while:
"If we leave like this, maybe he really went astray."
"And after I join, I can persuade him not to go astray."
Margaret was stunned.
What Matthew said sounded reasonable to her, but she still felt it was wrong instinctively.
And after Matthew said that sentence.
Then he couldn't wait to turn around and start chatting with Dudley.
Margaret quietly pricked up her ears.
But I heard Matthew ask with concern:
"Speaking of which, if you continue your bloodline through fission reproduction, will it really not cause harm to yourself?"
Dudley replied:
"There will definitely be damage. I always feel like my brain is much dumber than before."
"But after testing, I'm actually a little smarter than before, but my soul is much weaker."
"Other aspects are very good. Hussman will also strictly limit the number of splits I can do. In fact, I just want to split a female version of Dudley, but this thing is also very difficult to say. You have to try your luck."
Matthew pondered:
"But the question is, even if you create a female version of Dudley, are you sure she can give birth to a child for you?"
Dudley smiled bitterly:
"Not sure, I can only give it a try."
Matthew advised:
"I think it's too risky to split ourselves up. Maybe we should experiment with other species first. It's a good experimental spirit to follow a step-by-step approach -
Your safety should be guaranteed now, right?
So there’s really no need to be so anxious.”
Dudley thought for a while:
"What you say makes sense. Maybe I should experiment with fission reproduction on other species first."
Margaret breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"It seems Matthew is not talking nonsense. His joining the Spore Society can indeed prevent this elf from going astray."
But she just thought about it.
Matthew's next words came out:
"How about trying zombies?"
"Skeletons are fine too."
"Undead creatures that are naturally incapable of reproduction should be the most suitable samples for experimenting with fission reproduction!"
In Margaret's deeply unhappy gaze.
Dudley's eyes lit up.
The two men got together excitedly and walked and talked, completely ignoring her.
…
Throughout the afternoon, Matthew and Dudley discussed fission reproduction experiments.
The more the two chatted, the more speculative they became. Dudley said that he would give Matthew more mushrooms, and Matthew picked some and took them away.
He is actually also very interested in the process of cultivating magic mushrooms. Decomposition and fertilization alone are definitely not enough, as other abilities must be involved.
However, even Dudley needs the help of Hussman to complete this process.
Hussman was just shocked by Matthew, and it will probably take him a few days to slowly accept him.
This is inevitably a pity for Matthew.
After all, they couldn't stay in the Timeless Isle for too long.
On the one hand, the purpose of this trip is actual combat training, and the encounter with Huang Yulong caused changes in the itinerary. Logically speaking, the course should be temporarily interrupted and returned to the main material world;
On the other hand, they are not ready for long-term plane travel, and their bodies are not physically able to adapt to the new plane.
The longer they stay here, the more they feel rejected by the inner plane.
This feeling is subtle and tangible.
After a long time, it will make people uncomfortable and their mood will become very irritable.
Matthew knew this was because of missing elements.
Whether it is the negative energy plane or the air elemental plane, the elements of these inner planes are relatively simple. If people in the main material world do not make relevant preparations in advance, their bodies will become weak due to the lack of elements.
Changes in mood and bad feelings are the body's alarm.
They can stay in the inner plane for three to five days at most.
But that's the numerical limit.
They are not participating in a survival challenge, so it is impossible to challenge the limit.
at dusk.
The topaz dragon Crater went to the sea to hunt for food but has not yet returned.
Matthew had to leave a farewell letter, promising to visit again next time.
After that, he wrote down the plane coordinates of Eternal Island, and then flew away from the plane with Margaret under Dudley's reluctant eyes.
They flew all the way towards the Six Rings of Negative Energy Plane.
On the magic carpet.
Margaret said seriously:
"I still think that Dudley has a big problem. I can feel that he is a legend, but I can't see his level clearly."
"This feeling is exactly the same as that of Husman, Lord of the Rot Sac."
Matthew pondered:
"Do you suspect that Dudley and Hussman have become one?"
"Probably!"
Margaret advised:
"It's really rare that there are still two souls even though they have merged into one body.
Judging from the rationality shown by Dudley, he should not be parasitized by the rot cyst, and the two parties may have a symbiotic relationship, but I cannot be sure of this."
"Anyway, you must be careful when dealing with them."
Matthew nodded solemnly.
He actually had similar feelings, but neither Hussman nor Dudley showed any ill will toward him.
So he is willing to give the Spore Society a certain amount of trust.
Of course, this kind of trust is also based on being on guard.
"Thank you for your concern."
Matthew thanked.
From getting along with each other these days, it is easy to see that Margaret is actually a person without much scheming.
Her attitude towards others is also very honest. Apart from being a little poor and a little flat, she has no shortcomings.
Margaret adjusted her glasses:
"This is as it should be. Who told you to be my student?"
Matthew smiled.
Margaret seemed to have misunderstood his smile and immediately shouted:
"Hey, don't get me wrong. Apart from having to play around in front of that old dragon, it's impossible for us to have anything to do with each other."
Matthew laughed out loud.
But he still asked:
"Don't you clamor for me to take care of you every day?"
Margaret said seriously:
“One code equals one code, that is a transaction relationship with a clearly marked price.
That kind of relationship always has a time limit, and it will be automatically terminated when the time is up.
I don't want to be completely tied to someone else in this life, no matter how good a man he is!
I am the woman who wants to become the strongest battle mage.
Don’t be troubled by worldly fetters.”
Matthew could feel that she was not joking, so he asked:
"Can you really become the strongest battle mage by purchasing magical abilities?"
Margaret said seriously:
“So I have been polishing my skills and trying to improve my capabilities from other channels.
It seems that my project has become obsolete, no one is willing to invest in my true alchemy, and my path to legend has once again been closed.
But this level of frustration is just a trivial matter in my life. After I finish teaching you, I plan to go to the Blood War Plains to hone my skills——
Since the path to true alchemy is unavailable, let me let blood and fire hone my combat skills.
Don't look at me like that. I am the most powerful mage in the league who is below legend level. Those demons and demons in the bloody battle land are destined to become my stepping stones.
Maybe after I go to the Bloody War Plains, when you hear my name again, it will be the day when I enter the legend in the field of combat!"
Matthew didn't say much after listening quietly.
He just said "come on".
He could actually feel Margaret's struggle. Due to the special way of rising, Suriel was both her mentor and her creditor, both her help and her obstacle.
Without Suriel, she might just be a mediocre mage.
But with Suriel, if she wants to go further, she may face suffering and torture that is thousands of times more painful than being a mediocre mage.
Such is the path of legend.
For most aborigines in this world, legend is out of reach.
Many people have not even found their own legendary path and have been wandering around outside it all their lives.
And even if people find the legendary way, how many of them can stick to their true intentions and persevere to the end?
Even if you really persevere to the end, not many will reap good results.
Matthew doesn't know many people, and among them, there are many who are struggling for the legend.
Li Weiqi is a typical example. He has been stuck at level 20 for many years, but he has been unable to make any progress because of the disappearance of Panlong.
The same is true for Margaret. The path of Fei Capital is actually not suitable for her. She is not smart enough and lacks talent.
Even if she imitated Suriel in every aspect of her words and deeds, in the end she only ended up with one project having its credit bankrupt and no one investing in it.
Nourish the field of battle with endless battles in the bloody plains.
Entering the legend as a battle mage may be her only way out.
Just think of this.
Matthew said softly:
"Before you go to the bloody plains, you'd better inform me."
Margaret snorted with her little nose:
"What's wrong?
Do you want to give me a ride?
There's no need for me to go to the bloody battle plains. I'll definitely do it quietly and not with any fanfare.
This kind of thing cannot be made public. If I die in an alien plane, just pretend you never knew me.
Don’t claim to the outside world that you learned your fighting skills from me, otherwise it would be so embarrassing.”
Matthew was silent.
"Don't think too much. I haven't finished your class yet. Besides, my creditors won't let me die so easily."
Margaret said easily:
"Live a more stylish life, Matthew."
"Even if I really don't come back from the bloody plains, don't feel sorry for me. No matter what, I can find the destination I deserve. This is already better than many people."
Infected by her optimism, Matthew smiled and asked:
"Is this also Margaret's fighting philosophy?"
Margaret blinked:
"No, this is a relief between friends."
"I think we should be considered friends now."
…
The process of returning to the material world was uneventful.
The two of them were originally stowaways summoned by Xiao Bo. They traveled from the inside out and were naturally favored by gravity.
So after just three seconds, they returned to the crucible room.
I made an appointment with Margaret for the approximate time of the next practical class.
Matthew returned to the oak forest.
This actual combat training was very fruitful. In addition to enriching combat experience, the biggest gain was the mushrooms from Dudley.
Matthew plans to cultivate some of the mushrooms in the woods, which can not only enrich the ecology of the woods, but also try to establish a real buffer zone in the middle of the two ceremonial grounds.
After returning, he immediately found Obest and Argus and asked about the status of their mounts.
Mr. Centaur's answer pleased Matthew.
The existence of the World Tree made the Golden Pegasus quickly adapt to everything in the oak forest. He seems to be particularly attached to this land and will probably not leave in the short term.
Black warrior Argus reported:
"Nightmare also likes the cemetery very much, but his character is too wild, and the cemetery cannot contain him. He always sneaks into the underground city outside the cemetery when I am not paying attention. Once there, he is in trouble.
For a long time, it made people very worried."
Matthew pondered:
"In this case, I'll let Peggy watch him."
Argus said helplessly:
"It was Ms. Paige who encouraged him to explore the nearby dungeon together!"
Matthew was speechless.
Soon he found Peggy in the kitchen.
Peggy happily put on her apron as soon as she saw Matthew:
"What do you want to eat tonight?"
Matthew casually named a few dishes, and then asked a little embarrassedly:
"I heard that you often ride the Red Flame Nightmare to wander around in nearby dungeons in the past two days?"
Peggy nodded:
"Yes, yes."
Matthew was about to say something.
There was a snapping sound.
Paige took out a fist-sized object from her apron and slapped it on the chopping board:
"I was just about to tell you. I went to the depths of the dungeon and picked up a lot of things. Do you want these things? If not, I won't go!"
Matthew stared at the piece intently.
The words to tell her not to run around were stuck in her mouth.
…
"Hint: Your friend Paige submitted a piece of mithril to you!"
…
"You seemed to have something to tell me just now?"
While Peggy was preparing to cook, she looked at Matthew suspiciously.
Matthew accepted the piece of mithril, coughed, and then said seriously:
"Take A Bing with you next time you go out."
"Be careful not to bring potential enemies into your home."
"And the most important thing -
Next time you encounter something like this.
Remember to search the area cleanly."
…
Early next morning.
Matthew went to the Lord's Mansion to fish as usual.
Zeller is not here today.
It was said that there was a turmoil over Gao Yeling, and he went to Kaiwen Village on the border to check the situation.
There was only an anxious Rhaegar and a depressed Matthew in the office.
Rhaegar's uneasiness stems from Sif.
In order to find out what's wrong with Sif, he must go back to hell.
At the moment, it is inevitable to feel a little shy about being close to home.
Matthew's mental depression stems from the ability that is about to be generated in his mind and has been stuck for a long time.
Originally, under the influence of the potion, it only took a short battle for him to have the opportunity to directly awaken that ability.
However, after encountering Huang Yulong, things became a little out of control.
Although I also received a lot of benefits from the Spore Association later on.
But this ability is really stuck there.
Matthew tried most of the night last night.
But no matter what he does.
What can't come out can't come out.
This inevitably frustrated him.
Matthew had been yawning like crazy all morning.
Noon.
He planned to find an opportunity to slip away.
As a result, Rhaegar didn't take a nap today.
He walked out of the room, holding an exquisite small buckler in his hand, and came to Matthew's office.
Rhaegar spoke:
"I am about to go to purgatory and must be properly prepared. I found this thing in my previous adventure bag. This thing is theoretically a magic immunity shield that can neutralize all magic, but I am worried that it will be in disrepair.
, the quality deteriorates.”
"Come and help me test it?"
Matthew yawned sadly:
"Sorry Rhaegar, I'm not in a good state today."
"How about tomorrow? I will test it for you tomorrow."
Rhaegar discharged five gold coins:
"Paid."
Matthew smiled helplessly:
"It's not about money. There seems to be something wrong with my concentration today. I can't seem to cast a spell."
Rhaegar said displeased:
"You asked me to practice magic with you before, but I agreed every time."
Matthew smiled bitterly:
"It's not that I'm refusing to agree, it's that I'm focused...Okay, I'll go find Mrs. Wesley for a cup of coffee and try to see if you can find the feeling of casting a spell."
Rhaegar waved his hand:
"What kind of coffee do you want..."
suddenly.
He raised his shield and shouted with a hateful face:
"Grandson!"
An indescribable anger burst out from Matthew's heart.
He couldn't help but raise his hand and perform a malicious transformation technique!
puff!
A white light shines on the buckler, which is said to be immune to magic.
Rhaegar turned into a sheep with his shield and his body.
And at that moment.
Matthew's eyes lit up.
He suddenly felt it.
That thing in my mind——
Out!
…
"Tip: After a period of combat exploration, you have mastered the new ability "Combat Reflex."
Combat reflex: When you encounter a fixed crisis or a qualified event, you will save time to think and instinctively use the corresponding spell or ability.
Spells or abilities used through combat reflexes are not subject to daily usage limits."
…
Matthew looked at the goat on the ground with great excitement.
I wish I could pick him up and kiss him twice.
Unexpectedly, the problem that troubled him most of the night was solved like this!
He just wanted to remove Rhaegar's transformation spell.
