Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 20:
Deep underground, a huge jellyfish is waving its tentacles, trying to dig into the maze.
The flexible tentacles have the ability of multiple tools. Whether it is opening and closing or finely carved, it can’t be beaten. Around it, a maze is gradually taking shape.
Looking into the distance, if you have sharp eyes that can see through the darkness, you can see a huge maze, just like an ancient ruin, buried deep here far away from the ground. Only a bright light somewhere proves that it is still connected to the ground.
Sui Xiong digs hard, humming a little song while digging.
“There is a monster, there are two monsters, the friend of the monster is the third monster, and the brother of the monster is the fourth monster…”
To be honest, the tune of this song is actually okay, but the lyrics are a little weird. Fortunately, he sings in Chinese. No one in this world can understand what he is singing. Even if he hears it, the impression is nothing more than… …
“Your Majesty, it seems that you are in a good mood today?” After Akain got down from the deep well, he heard the singing echoing in the dark underground from a distance. He flew over with a smile, and said, “The melody of this song is very interesting, and the rhythm of the lyrics is also very good. It is a pity that I don’t understand the lyrics-what kind of folk tune in the world?”
Sui Xiong smiled and nodded, silently complimenting this mushroom alchemist’s artistic accomplishment.
Although he actually composed this piece by himself, the style is indeed a folk tune.
It can be seen that even if the world is different, the race is different, and the culture is different, even the life forms are different. After all, everyone’s love for art and understanding of music are still the same.
“Why did you come here suddenly? There are new results in the research?”
Akain nodded and said happily: “The two little dragons found several valuable mushrooms. I combined them with the existing varieties and successfully researched the ability to absorb negative energy efficiently. And transform it into a variety of small and fragmented crystals. Now the cultivation room can be cultivated in large quantities, and the official planting can be started at any time!”
Sui Xiong was so happy that he clapped with his tentacles: “Awesome! Then I will start preparing for the cultivation pool.”
“But that mushroom has a very weak ability to decompose flesh and blood.” Akain said, “The mushrooms that can be used as a backup staple food that can decompose flesh and blood, the cultivation progress is not smooth, the existing varieties are either poisonous. Either it will mutate, it will not meet the requirements.”
“Don’t worry.” Sui Xiong said with a smile, “We have time, take it easy.”
Special mushrooms based on the flesh and blood of monsters are scheduled to be used as backup staples. So Sui Xiong has three requirements for it. The first is to be able to quickly and efficiently decompose useless monsters to avoid pollution; the second is to be non-toxic, which can be used normally; and the third is to not produce malignant mutations. Worried about becoming a mushroom monster.
Akain has cultivated several kinds of mushrooms that can effectively decompose the flesh and blood of Warcraft, but probably because the female parent comes from the mushroom monster, these kinds of mushrooms are either highly toxic or can be derived from the flesh and blood of Warcraft. The medium condensed power quickly transformed into a monster that was quite dangerous for ordinary people.
Of course, none of this meets the requirements, so he is still studying, hoping to cultivate mushrooms that fully meet Sui Xiong’s requirements.
He felt that if he could cultivate all the two mushrooms proposed by Majesty the Void, then the achievements of these two mushrooms alone would be enough to change the druids’ prejudice against Pasteur alchemy. , To clear the family’s long-standing notoriety, and even let his father be released!
So he is very motivated and works hard every day. He stays in the research room, training room and bedroom all day long. The first two places are used for scientific research, and the last place is a place to sleep and eat.
If it weren’t that there are too many dangerous things in the research room and the cultivation room, it is not safe to eat in it, and he might not even come out to eat!
With such enthusiasm, his research is progressing smoothly. In less than two years, he has obtained results that ordinary mages may not be able to obtain for decades.
Today is a good day for one of the two major issues to be conquered. So after he was going to inform the Majesty of Mask Void, he would give himself a vacation and sleep well all day.
However, after Sui Xiong learned of his plan, he advised him not to sleep for vacations, but to go for a walk.
“I stay in the research institute all day, and I won’t find a girlfriend.” Sui Xiong said, “Even if you are a great sage, you have to get married and start a business!”
“I’m still young, it’s too early to think about these.”
“Young? I knew such a teacher back then. I always felt that I was still young and I should focus on research. Unknowingly decades later, when he finally succeeded in his research, he found out that his classmates ‘S grandson is already his student…”
“Haha, this is a bit too miserable.”
“Yes! So you can’t learn from him! Human youth is precious!”
“But I’m really young…”
“Stop talking nonsense, climb out of your burrow, and communicate with people!” Sui Xiong laughed, using his tentacles to wrap up this technical house that has been living in the dark for a long time, the light of magic Blink, an advanced teleportation technique, directly teleported him to Longhou Town.
Most members of Masked Void Church currently live here. Some of them are learning various skills, some are hunting with Gerrard, and some are providing logistical support for their companions, all of them are busy. Busy, very fulfilling.
Akain’s arrival was welcomed by Gerrard and others. They even held a small welcome party to welcome the most senior scholars from the church.
At the welcome meeting, when it is learned that the mushrooms used to remove negative energy have been cultivated, an area can be cleared soon, and there is no need to worry about the skull attack at night, the land and drinking water are not contaminated, and it can be normal Many people cheered happily when they lived and cultivated the area.
Although knowing that under the guidance of His Majesty the Infinite Power of the Void, these are all things sooner or later, but when the expectation finally becomes a reality and is coming towards him at a predictable speed, no one can be unhappy or excited.
Starting from Gerrard, everyone toasted to Akain one after another. You have a cup, I have a cup and he has a cup. I don’t know how many cups I drank before and after. In the end, this master alchemist who can eat poisonous mushrooms without changing his color is finally invincible Liquor fell asleep on the ground.
Even in his sleep, he still muttered: “Well said! That’s right! Another glass!”
The next morning, with some hangover dizziness, he was awakened by the armor demon Phil, and followed Phil, heading towards the depths of the deserted mountains, to the lair of the “Cold Tyrant”, once It is the dragon’s lair in the ancient temple.
“There are a lot of warcraft corpses in the mountains.” Phil said, “To be honest, these corpses are really troublesome, and often attract some nuisances. I used to clean them by myself. Now that you have researched Mushrooms that can decompose corpses, so let’s spread them in the mountains.”
Akain told him that the mushrooms he cultivated were either poisonous or mutated into monsters. Either way was very troublesome.
“Then spread the second kind.” Phil said nonchalantly, “There are enough monsters in this mountain. I don’t care about another kind of weird mushroom-but I have to ask, this kind of demonic What are the abilities of mushrooms?”
Akain recalled, and said: “The first is action. Although the speed is not fast, they can fly slowly in the air by magic, and they can also wriggle slowly on the ground.”
“This is nothing.”
“Secondly, they can use collision and self-detonation. Although the power of self-detonation is not great, it can exude a fragrance that will lure other monsters.”
“…well, it’s nothing.”
“If they grow to a certain level, they will also grow sharp, serrated arms, like two short knives. Although they are not powerful, if they are cut, it will be very troublesome to treat the wound.”
“Can’t it be changed to a normal knife arm?” Phil asked.
“No, because this type of arm is used to divide large monster corpses.”
Phil shrugged indifferently: “That’s it. Any other questions?”
“If it continues to grow, it will be able to use spells. The first spell is nausea, which can make people sick and nauseous.”
Phil laughed: “What a fun spell! What else?”
Akain broke his fingers and counted them one by one: “Next is the smelly cloud technique, then the sleep technique, the hold technique, the plague technique, the poisonous fog technique…and finally the death cloud technique.”
Phil stopped smiling, he stopped and turned to look at Akain.
“Dead Cloud Technique?”
“Yes, death cloud technique.”
“The level of death cloud spell is not low!” Phil said, “this is a typical intermediate spell, and a lower level wizard can’t cast it!”
Akain nodded: “So only monster mushrooms that grow to old age have this ability. In my laboratory, after using spells to spawn, mushrooms with a maturity of about 25 years or so will be Have this level of ability.”
“Twenty-five years…to be honest, it’s really not that long…” Phil hesitated and asked the age of the other spells.
“A sword arm can be grown from the third year, and spells can be used from the fifth year. After that, one spell will be added for about three to four years, and all spells will be mastered in about twenty-five years.” Ah Kane studied this monster in detail, and stated his own research results like a few treasures, “Even if you continue to cultivate, there will be no growth. It is estimated that this is the limit of its race, and it needs to break through the limit to go further.” /
Phil thought for a long time, until they arrived at the Dragon Nest, they couldn’t make up their minds.
Finally, he gave Akain several kinds of mushrooms unique to the flower fields in the temple, but the cultivation of carnivorous mushrooms in the mountains~IndoMTL.com~ was put on hold after all.
While Sui Xiong didn’t delay at all, the first mushroom cultivated by Akain quickly grew in large numbers in the underground labyrinth. They quickly absorb the negative energy permeating the maze, and grow extremely strong, clusters after clusters exuding deep black luster under the shining of luminous minerals, and even a touch of metal texture.
These luminous ores are not the minerals of the Ash Forest, but the minerals in the dead desert beyond thousands of waters. Sui Xiong bought this mineral in large quantities through the commercial channels of Gals City, and then walked it personally, bringing back many, many at a time.
They are all over the maze to provide light. Under Sui Xiong’s meticulous design, most parts of the entire maze are shrouded in just the right amount of dark light. Only some places dedicated to explorers have sufficient lighting.
Along with the bright light, you can see several guarding magic circles. They not only protect these “rest points” well, but also relax the nerves that have been tight in the maze.
Of course, you have to pay to take a break at a rest point. After all, maintaining the circle requires magical power. If Sui Xiong hadn’t supplied his magic power on a regular basis, he could only consume the backup energy-expensive magic crystals.
There are also several teleportation formations in the maze, allowing explorers to leave safely. There is no need to pay to use them, because leaving means the end of the expedition. If you go in next time, you will have to buy a new ticket.
After all the luminous ores were placed, this huge and magnificent underground labyrinth was finally completed.
