This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 668, Section 667: Eleanor's Merit
"Why...why?" Twelve pounced on its skull throne. "They are all Mushroom Turners, and these skulls are symbols of their piety. I also used them with their permission!"

Julia blinked: "Mushroom Master, that's true, but outsiders would probably find it hard to understand, and it would frighten them."

"What's there to be afraid of with a few heads..." Twelve muttered, but still let Julia carry it away and directed the other cultists to carry their exclusive throne to the back and hide it.

Twelve was feeling a little down; it had originally wanted to show its masterpiece to Number Five.

However, the task of entertaining friend number five still needed to be done. Twelve, who had been put back down, tumbled into the large pot full of water and called to Julia to start a fire and bring some seasonings.

……

Looking out over the Bagu Church camp, Vera reined in the reins.

The campsite was situated on a gentle slope, with the scattered mushroom-shaped houses taking on a soft grayish-white hue in the afternoon light. It was much cleaner than he had expected, with no piles of garbage, no haphazardly placed shacks, and he could even see people sweeping the open space in front of the houses.

As you get closer, you can see a lot of people gathered in the open space in the center of the camp.

A cult member dressed in a simple robe stood among several mushroom-shaped houses, holding a brush in his hand, explaining something to the onlookers.

He spoke while gesturing, occasionally reaching out to pat the mushroom column beside him, as if demonstrating something.

Vera listened intently.

"These gray spots are normal and don't need to be scraped off. But if they're bluish and soft, you'll have to gently brush them off with this brush, otherwise they'll release hallucinogenic gases over time! Similarly, you can leave some bluish-spotted mushrooms at the bottom to ward off wild monsters..."

A person dressed as a refugee asked, "What about rainy days? Won't this mushroom house collapse?"

“No,” the cultist smiled. “These mushroom houses are the masterpiece of the Mushroom Master. They are stronger and more durable than wood, and they won’t leak anywhere under normal wind and sun.”

Thanks to Number Five, Vera has been exposed to a lot of knowledge in this area recently, so she naturally knows that what the believers say is correct, and can even be called professional. They are really trying their best to introduce it.

Vera turned her head and whispered to Sirian beside her, "It doesn't look...like a cult."

Sirian followed a little behind him: "That's hard to say. What cults are best at is not looking like cults."

Vera nodded and continued on her way.

Number Five, which he had placed in front of him, couldn't resist climbing up to his head and shouting, "I'm here!"

Sensing the sounds coming from within the mushroom net, the cultist looked up in confusion: "Master Mushroom? No, the Master Mushroom is clearly inside..."

Amidst the confusion, Julia emerged with a group of followers.

“We were unaware of Lord Vera’s visit and have failed to greet you properly. We were just saying that we wanted to ask for your permission to pass through Mist Fortress!” Julia said, her eyes involuntarily glancing in Sirian’s direction.

In fact, it wasn't just her; most of the believers present were secretly watching this exquisitely beautiful elf.

Although Vera and the others noticed it, they were used to it. In fact, it would be strange if Sirion didn't attract attention.

Vera nodded politely: "I heard you were nearby, so I came to check it out."

Julia stepped aside: "My lord, please come in and sit down to talk."

Upon entering the short, round, temporary mushroom house, Vera marveled at the mushroom-shaped architecture she had never seen before.

He suddenly had a feeling that since mushroom houses are so convenient, will they eventually completely replace people's houses? Or even noble castles?

The latter might not work; the mushrooms aren't sturdy enough.

On the table inside, there were several bowls of steaming hot stewed meat soup.

Sirius knew there was no danger, but he still picked up the bowl first.

As a druid, he possessed the highest poison resistance among the four, and his purification spell was also effective at removing various toxins, making him the most suitable candidate for poison testing. He took a small sip, and a shiver ran down his spine, but it was well concealed.

He frowned as he looked at the soup in front of him.

【Delicious LV10】

Do these guys want to embarrass Vera?

Seeing that Sirian had shuddered but hadn't reacted, Vera asked softly, "What's wrong? Could it be...?"

Sirius shook his head and took another sip: "It's fine, but it's best to drink it in small sips."

Vera looked puzzled and took a small sip.

The delicious taste spread from the tip of her tongue all the way through her body. Thanks to having tasted the tentacles of number four before, Vera was prepared this time and managed to straighten her body, managing not to twist herself into a ball.

Seeing Vera's appearance, Fei Lingfei silently put the bowl she was holding back.

The sight of the others brought a smile to Xilian's face, and he took another big gulp of soup.

At this moment, Twelve, soaking wet and still steaming, finally walked in.

"puff--!"

Vera was thoroughly drenched by Sirion's spittle, and the lord's dignity was ultimately lost.

While Sirian was busy wiping Vera's face and clothes clean, the two Puji had already started communicating by touching their mushroom caps and hooking their tentacles together.

Ultimately, with the help of No. 5 and No. 12, the communication between the two parties went relatively smoothly.

Vera also decided to provide some assistance to the Big Mushroom Charity Association while they passed through her territory.

However, after returning, Vera suddenly remarked during a casual conversation with the three, "The Mushroom Clan really do all know each other."

"What's wrong? Maybe they were all born in the same place before. Number Five said that before it met us, it lived with other Puji."

"I'm just wondering, did they choose their own numbers and names, or were they given those names by some kind of master?"

Is there a difference?

Vera walked to the window and looked at Number Five, who had started dancing in the open space again: "If that Mushroom Lord really exists, I'd really like to try communicating with him. What kind of person is the god of the Mushroom Clan?"

Sirius gave him a look that said, "What the hell are you doing? I don't think it's a good idea to actively contact something unknown..."

……

Meanwhile, as Eleanor sold more than ten cartloads of delicious mushrooms to various parts of the Empire, Lin Jun, who was watching the tailless lizardmen and werewolves wrestle, suddenly saw several lines of panels pop up in her mind.

[Conditions for achieving this: Over 70% of the world's population has tasted you and found you delicious]

[Achievement: Conquer the World's Flavors (Gain special skill, Exquisite Taste)]

[Acquire skill: Delicious]

Lin Jun: ? ? ?
How did they suddenly conquer the world? And how did Jue Wei, which had been abandoned, manage to find its way back?!
"Having tasted you," what kind of nonsensical description is this?

However, getting a skill with no level requirement for free is definitely a great thing, let's try it out first!
"Norris, Karen, stop gesturing and come here, I have something good here..."
