There are many settlements of mushroom people distributed throughout the dark area.

These intelligent fungi, similar to humanoid creatures, gather together to meditate and live together, and are willing to provide shelter and safe roads for anyone who treats themselves kindly.

However, few travelers can break into the area of ​​dull woodland, so almost no map will mark its location.

Because all the roads leading here are full of dangers and are difficult to carry out navigation operations.

Among Brian and his party, although Timo, the young man, had no understanding of the dark area, the little guy had a natural perception of the way home.

Because of this, during the nearly week's journey, everyone finally arrived at the Wuguang Woodland area without any danger.

They were walking forward in the muddy land, and the smell of rotten soil also appeared with their pace.

A fungus jungle with thick and high-handled poles mixed with light milk and beige is intertwined into the shape of a surface forest.

Brian found dense clusters of fungi that grew casually and vigorously, blocking the way forward and seemed to be unable to find a way to cross it.

Although the flashing light of the phosphorescent fungi illuminated the fungal wilderness, the huge crown of the Zeke Mushroom still made him unable to see the surrounding conditions, let alone searching for the core area leading to the dull woodland.

"Big brother, there are many roads nearby that can lead to dull woodland, but most of them are narrow cracks washed away by water flow, which will be very dangerous if you go the wrong way."

Timo in Brian's arms spurted a cloud of spores, and pointed his little finger at an underground river that had already dried up in front. "So, only this natural river can pass directly, and glowing moss is still growing inside."

Brian nodded slightly, followed the direction pointed out by Teemo, and led the group to continue moving forward.

The quiet, winding road lasted only half an hour, and they found an unimaginable cave in the fungus jungle.

The moment Brian stepped into the cave, his vision suddenly became clear.

There was a moment!

He suddenly felt a sense of surprise when he entered the Peach Blossom Land, and even looked at the dark and terrifying dark area behind him, it seemed like a different world.

There is no doubt that what appeared before him was a woodland covered with various mushrooms, molds and fungi, which intertwined into a quiet and beautiful exotic landscape.

As the entrance to the light-free woodland is above the cave foundation, it gives him a panoramic view of the entire area.

In the fungus valley forest of this huge cave, mushrooms of all sizes are everywhere, connected to the ceiling at the top of the cave, illuminating the darkness around by various fungi that shine like stars.

The fluorescent moss covered all the huge mushrooms in the cave, bathing the entire woodland in yellow, blue and purple glows, filled with hazy shimmers, making everything look very dreamy.

Brian's vision looked along the north wall of the cave to the closest place to him, and was exposed to fungal terraces radiating from the earth's veins.

The waterfall flows down from the high dome and splashes on the rock walls of the cave. The gurgling stream flows through the cave, forming a natural and effective self-irrigation terrace at every turn.

Thousands of fungi of various colors emit a strong sweet smell in the air, and many of them emit tempting strange light.

Sniffing the intoxicating fragrance of mushrooms, Brian set his eyes on the center of the valley.

He was surprised to find that a majestic mushroom tower comparable to a palace stood in it, but because of the faint light and rising fog, he could not see the details of the mushroom palace.

He was not the only one who was shocked by the strange beauty in front of him, but others sighed when they saw it.

Of course, except for the Drow Elves Koz and Kotao Fishman Monk who remained silent from beginning to end.

However, Brian accidentally saw that the fleeting fanaticism flashed in his pale red eyes as the Drow Elf looked at the mushroom tower in the middle of the valley, which made him secretly keep a secret.

"Jip, guess what I saw?"

The goblin copper block looked greedily at the flickering fungus valley, and two glittering small eyes kept floating between the huge mushrooms.

"Mushroom soup, grilled mushroom steak, mushroom bread." The Dilor answered with a smile after seeing through the goblin's little thoughts.

"wrong!"

Tong Duaner flexibly avoided the spores that Timo sprayed over and said with a smile, "I'm not as vulgar as you. What I saw is Gulda cream mushroom soup, hand-shot pie spicy fried mushrooms from the yawning door, and dark area mushroom cakes made of Zotr fire moss sauce..."

As usual, the Dilor Dwarf Jeep flipped his familiar white pupils towards the copper block.

"It turns out that there are such strange and beautiful scenery in the dark area." Xisia on the other side raised her hair and looked at the beautiful fungus in the valley, and couldn't help but sigh.

"But it is often accompanied by fatal danger."

Brian reminded her with a slightly solemn expression, "Be careful not to be confused by the appearance here, after all, the light-free woodland also belongs to the dark area."

"That's right."

The zedi bear man with clean and neat hair walked over and followed, "When I was a child, I accidentally entered the depths of the High Forest, and accidentally came to a fungal forest that was larger than here. I was almost eaten by a carnivorous mushroom with sharp teeth."

"The big stupid bear, that is the Phantom, the guardian of our light-free woodland. They are born invisible and follow the orders of the hunter to form the leader of the Lobum."

Timo spurted a spore of thoughts at the Bear Man in Zedi, "It turns out that you, a big stupid bear, have not only been ridden by the mother bear, but also been bullied by the Phantom Mushroom. No wonder you fantasize about being a golden elf prince every day."

"Hey! How do you talk about your little mushroom head?" The Zedi Bearman glared at Timo fiercely, stretched out his claws to scare him and was about to scratch his little mushroom head.

Little Timo was so scared that he hurriedly hugged in Brian's arms.

The group did not stop at the entrance of the cave for too long. Under the guidance of Timo, they walked and chatted to the central area of ​​the fungus valley.

But while walking, Brian felt something was wrong.

As far as he knows, the people are innocent and simple, and their daily lives will only manage their silent and monotonous lives day after day.

It is about eight hours a day to work, which means to take care of fungi fields, collect resources, and maintain fortifications.

After work, we will spend another eight hours telepathically communicating with other individuals. They call this "thoughts and recreation" and then spend the remaining eight hours resting, day after day.

It is this monotonous life characteristic that makes them shy and exclusive.

Walking along the way, he encountered many busy mushroom people, but it gave him an illusion that the mushroom people in the woods were very outgoing.

When they saw them passing by, most of the mushroom people would put down their work and greet them actively and enthusiastically.

"Oh, Timo is back, it's really time for you to come back, and the happy days are coming."

A mushroom man with a shiny garland of fungi was decorated with glittering fungi. When he saw Timo in Brian's arms, he immediately greeted him happily, "Our master association is preparing for a wonderful celebration. Hurry up and bring your soft friends to the fusion of the great sowingers."

"It's Timo, these soft guys must be your friends."

Not long after the mushroom man left, another mushroom man carrying the stalk of Zek mushroom came to everyone enthusiastically and sprayed his thought spores excitedly:

"It's really time for you to come. Our builders are planning to build a magnificent mushroom tower in their own territory, but they don't know the architectural style of the surface world, and they don't even know the size of the bricks and the density of the wood. If you can get the help and guidance from your soft friends, the leader Gasbyd would be very happy."

"Don't worry, my friend, that our purpose here is to help you build the magnificent mushroom tower, and we will visit the leader of your builder association in person later." Seeing the enthusiastic mushroom man chattering endlessly, Brian replied perfunctorily, trying to end the boring conversation.

"Then you must not forget. If possible, I really hope that this mushroom tower can break through the dark area and directly extend to the bright surface world." The mushroom man carrying the wood reluctantly said goodbye to Brian and others.

"It's strange, why have everyone changed so much recently?" Looking at the mushroom man's back as he left, Timo murmured in confusion.

"In this situation, let's go and find out about your mushroom king first." Brian patted Timo's little mushroom head and comforted it.

He recalled the group of dancing mushroom men he met in the silk trail.

Seeing the strange situation in the dull woodland, Brian's guess was immediately confirmed.

"Yeah, I understand." Timo obediently nodded the mushroom head and immediately guided them to move forward.

The depression in the middle of the dull woodland is the main habitat of the genus colonies.

The phosphorescence fungi that scattered all over the cave ceiling and the stone walls form a strange constellation diagram, contrasting the dark rift valleys and mist caves ahead.

Brian saw a group of tall mushroom men walking out of the foggy cave.

One of the mushroom cranes as high as 5 meters tall stood among the crowd, looking particularly conspicuous.

As it moves slowly and heavily, the umbrella-shaped steril cover on its head also shakes continuously with its graceful twisting thick handle.

"It turned out to be Timo is back. It's so exciting, praising the great sowinger!"

The tall mushroom man walked up to everyone, released his thought spores, and greeted sincerely and enthusiastically:

"I am the mushroom man of Wuguang Woodland. It must be your soft friends who saved our Timo and escorted it safely. For this, on behalf of all the mushroom man of Wuguang Woodland, I would like to express my most sincere thanks to you."

"I'm very happy to meet you and welcome you to come here at a very wonderful time." The mushroom man Fei Luo bowed deeply to them and said with gratitude:

"Now is the greatest and most magnificent moment of the dull woodland! You must be here to attend the wedding of 'Madam'. Dear guests, please allow me to call you that, and let the great sowingers hug you with love, because the day of joy is coming!"

The mushroom man, Faye Feiluo.

Brian heard Timo mention it to him that there were two mushroom kings in the entire dull woodland.

And Timo's leader was another mushroom king, Bastilia.

In fact, the community of the prickly people usually has the only one mushroom king.

As the largest individual in the community, the position of the Mustang King is independent of all associations and above all associations.

But two years ago, the mushroom king Basteha brought his two associations (the Hunter Association and the Explorer Association) to the dull woodland.

The mushroom man Faye Feilo warmly welcomed the new mushroom man group and accepted the suggestion proposed by Basteha to share the leadership of all associations in the woodland.

The two mushroom kings have since become very close partners, and the two individuals share authority and obligations without any struggle.

"Thank you very much for the hospitality of Chief Philo. We will definitely enjoy this happy moment." Brian bowed slightly and replied politely.

"That's great. My soft friends, let Timo take you to travel in the dull woodland at will." The Mustang King showed a warm smile:

"However, in order to give you enough surprises, I would recommend that you not go to the highlands east of the woodland for the time being, because our Masters Association is preparing for a 'extremely wonderful surprise', which is not yet completed. But I can assure you that tomorrow will definitely allow you to see the greatest 'weeding' in the entire dark area."

"Thank you for your warm hospitality and praise the great sowingers, let us welcome the surprise with anticipation." Brian smiled slightly and said in a slightly eager tone.

Taking advantage of the gap in his speech, he glanced at the subordinates behind the Mustang King from the corner of his eyes.

Then, the two of them exchanged a few more greetings, and the Muscle Man King happily led his group of Muscle Man subordinates and five leaders of association, and turned toward the east high ground.
Chapter completed!
