The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 127 Mushroom Field

Mushroom fields occupy an important position in the culture of black crystal worms. According to legend, before the Queen Worm God descended upon this world, the entire world was occupied by mushrooms.

After the Queen Worm God descended into the world, she ate mushrooms. The Queen Worms she gave birth to and the Black Crystal Zerg also ate mushrooms. This behavior angered the mother of all mushrooms, the Primordial Mushroom, who fought a great battle with the Queen Worm God and ultimately lost.

The fragments of the original mushroom fell to the ground and turned into patches of mushroom fields.

These mushroom fields carry the resentment of the original mushrooms. All flesh and blood creatures who want to pass through the mushroom fields must use flesh and blood to appease the natural spirits of the mushroom fields.

After listening to the warrior worm's story about the myth of the black crystal worm, Richard touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

Myths are of great significance to an ethnic culture and are a form of recording history.

According to the warrior worm's story, in ancient times, the mother worm god of the black crystal worm was not the master of the world. It became the master of the world only after a great battle with a giant fungal creature.

This is of great significance to a microcosm.

Wizards divide planes into four types. The largest one is the large world like the wizard world. Wizards have not yet explored this world, but according to Ulysses, this world is the seed of civilization. As long as a level seven creature leaps into the starry sky, there will be one more civilization in the starry sky.

Then there are medium-sized worlds, which often have multiple world masters and a level six creature.

Such a world is impossible for a single wizard academy to conquer, so once such a world is discovered, a Tower of Truth will take the lead and several wizard academies will launch a conquest together. Such a plane expedition is often extremely tragic, but the harvest is also very rich. Many great wizards rose to prominence after experiencing such a war.

Then there are the small worlds. In such worlds, there may be multiple world masters, and the strength of the world masters can reach that of level five creatures.

For safety reasons, such worlds are often conquered by two wizarding schools together.

Finally, there is a micro world like the Insect Nest World. In such a world, there can only be one world master, and the strength of the world master is level four.

Such worlds are most common in the Astral Plane, and can be conquered by a single wizarding school.

But if we follow the legend of the black crystal worms, the name of the microcosmic world called the Hive World may have to be changed.

The world can also grow. A world can grow by devouring drifting world fragments, secret realm fragments, astral creatures or some astral dust in the astral realm.

But Richard then threw this speculation aside.

There are special wizards in the Plane War who explore the history of aliens, and these wizards must have discovered this problem earlier than him.

Since the Great Wizard of the Black Tower has not ordered a retreat, it means there is no problem.

Moreover, a micro world that is about to be promoted will produce many treasures inside. If Richard can get one or two, he will make a fortune in this war.

After putting the warrior bug into the slave's pocket, Richard and the other two immediately set off.

Following the traces left by the black crystal worms, Richard and his companions headed all the way to the mushroom field.

Along the way, Richard could clearly feel that the fungi around him were beginning to change. The spore content in the air was also increasing rapidly, reaching an alarming level, and there were a considerable number of poisonous spores among the spores.

If Richard's physique wasn't strong enough, the spores in the air would have been enough to poison him.

This is when the benefits of blood fusion are reflected.

Ellie had fused the blood of an elemental creature, and the blood was of a fairly high level, so her body was quite elementalized. Once these poisonous spores entered Ellie's body, they would be burned to ashes by the scorching fire element, and there would be no time for Ellie to be poisoned.

Following the traces, Richard and his companions soon arrived at the edge of the mushroom field.

The appearance of the mushroom field is just as its name suggests, with mushrooms everywhere. The huge area is full of huge glowing fungi and mushrooms of various colors. But compared with the mushrooms in the cave, the mushrooms in the mushroom field gave Richard a very uncomfortable feeling.

These mushrooms gave him a strong sense of aggression, like some kind of predator.

The mushroom field was different from the caves Richard had seen before. It was more like a huge underground forest - deep, yet full of vitality.

"Huh, it seems that what the bug said was true." Ulysses suddenly communicated with Richard using his mental power on Richard's shoulder.

Richard's expression remained unchanged: "What do you mean, what did you see?"

"Huh, don't you see that there is a spatial anomaly in this place?" Ulises explained, "How can there be such a huge space so deep underground? Even if the insect nest hollows out more soil, the remaining weight is enough to crush this place.

This place can exist because of the spatial anomaly caused by the corpse of the god. Entering here is equivalent to entering another space. "

After listening to Ulysses' explanation, Richard suddenly realized that this was indeed the truth.

The various wonderful sceneries in the other world had made Richard somewhat numb, so that he thought that any strange sights he saw were caused by the special rules of the other world.

"From what you said, isn't it dangerous to enter here?"

"Huh, what's dangerous?" Ulises asked puzzled.

"Isn't that a different dimension? And it's caused by the corpses of dead gods. Wouldn't the rules of the world inside also change?"

"Gah, what the hell. This thing is not a different world, it's just like different pages of a book. After entering, you are still in this book - that is, this world. This space has at most some incomplete rules, which are not harmful. At most, we will encounter some creatures that contain the rules of dead gods. I can deal with that... Of course, you have to pay extra for this."

The corners of Richard's mouth twitched twice. Ulysses' words sounded like empty promises.

"According to the rules, we have to offer flesh and blood to the natural spirits of the mushroom field as tolls." Richard took out a spider knight from the slave's pocket and threw it into the mushroom field.

In an instant, Richard felt a sense of being targeted by a predator, as if a powerful predator was watching him.

But soon the feeling dissipated.

The Spider Knight who was thrown into the mushroom field was very terrified. As a bug living in an underground insect nest, he knew the rules and methods of the mushroom field too well.

It tried hard to struggle, but soon it found white mycelium beginning to appear on its body.

These hyphae drilled out from the ground and then drilled into its flesh and blood tissue through the gaps in the shell.

Richard couldn't clearly see what the mycelium did, but judging from the Spider Knight's sharp screams, the mycelium must have caused him great pain.

Soon, the Spider Knight's voice disappeared.

White mycelium grew and spread inside its body, quickly replacing its flesh, blood, and nerves.

Then, a new Spider Rider was born.

The spider knight glanced at Richard, then walked silently into the depths of the mushroom field. Richard could not sense any strange aura from him, as if he had merged into the mushroom field.

"What a weird change." Ellie frowned and said, "These fungi ate it up and turned it into a puppet."

"It may not be a puppet." Richard shook his head. "It may be a new creature."

After sacrificing their flesh and blood, Richard and his companions were equivalent to obtaining tickets to enter the mushroom land. According to the warrior bug, as long as they did not cause any damage in the mushroom land, they would be safe in the mushroom land.

But just as the two were about to enter, they turned around almost simultaneously and looked behind them, and the staffs in their hands began to gather elements.

"Don't be nervous, we're on our own."

Two ochre-colored figures emerged from the tunnel wall behind Richard, looking like some kind of elemental creatures.

Two figures emerged from the cave wall and transformed into human figurines that looked like Terracotta Warriors. One of them moved his body and made a wizard salute to Richard and the other two.

"Don't be nervous, we are wizards too. Fighting among ourselves is forbidden."

But even though the wizard said this, Richard showed no intention of putting down the staff in his hand.

As a dark wizard, facing the two wizards who appeared behind him, he was considered calm and restrained for not throwing the Heart of Annihilation directly.

"Are you two here to hunt insects?" Richard asked coldly.

The terracotta wizard's face changed slightly, and he said calmly:
"Of course it's to hunt bugs. Isn't that what we came down for?"

Richard sneered in his heart. The warrior worm told him that the priest said that there were two groups of monsters chasing them. He thought at first that they were him and Ellie, but now it seems that the other group is the two wizards in front of them.

"Really? Looks like I misunderstood. The group of bugs we were just chasing have entered this mushroom field, so I won't chat with you two any more."

After saying that, Richard winked at Ellie and turned to enter the mushroom field.

But before they could take a step, the human-shaped wizard spoke.

"You two saw a group of bugs entering this mushroom field? Is there an injured sacrificial bug among these bugs?"

"Sacrificial insects?" Richard pretended to be ignorant. "We haven't seen what these insects look like. We just killed a few injured insects on the way and followed the trail."

"Injured bug..."

The human figurine wizard was moved when he heard this. The pursuit mark they left behind came here, and the two men came here chasing a group of insects.

These two things together made it hard for him not to think that they were chasing the same group of bugs. And judging from the looks of the two wizards in front of him, they probably didn't know what these bugs were carrying...

An idea soon came to the terracotta wizard's mind.

"You two, I think the bugs we are chasing are from the same group." The figurine wizard said, "Don't underestimate the strength of this group of bugs. There is an injured level 2 bug among them."

"Level 2 bug!?" Richard and Ellie were both surprised.

The natural acting did not arouse the suspicion of the human figurine wizard at all.

"Yes, there is an injured second-level bug among them." The figurine wizard continued, "This bug is in the upper insect nest, killed a second-level wizard and escaped.

Its strength should not be underestimated.”

"So powerful? You dare to chase him even though he's so powerful?" Richard asked in puzzlement.

"The bug was seriously injured. We two were confident that we could escape, so we followed it." The human-shaped wizard replied with a smile, and then changed the subject.

"But as it stands now, if the four of us wizards hunt together, it won't be difficult to capture these bugs."
