A soft and bright light rose from the front, emanating from a huge cave.

The floors, walls, and ceilings of the entire cave are covered in moss and fungi, all colored in pastel whites, pinks, purples, greens, and light blues.

The light diffused from the mushroom made the scenery in the distance sway, as if seeing the strange beauty in a dream through the mist.

"The Sunless Woodland is facing corruption." An old voice sounded in Brian's heart.

He turned around and looked at the tall Myconid King.

It stood in the open space of the cave, with a pale blue light flashing on the rough umbrella-shaped cap, making its tall and thin body appear hollow and solid.

"The Queen shared her dreams through spiritual communication, planting corruption deep into the entire colony, causing our peaceful and peaceful nature to become anxious and fanatical."

The Myconid King Basdia lowered his glowing cap and said sadly, "Although we are aware of the existence of corruption and are trying to resist them, it is difficult to have enough to solve the current problem without outside help.

strength.

The few of us myconids who have not been corrupted can only hide our thoughts and carefully avoid being touched by other myconids during thought, so as not to shake our hearts. My supporters are constantly decreasing, and more and more

The myconids are unknowingly infected by the fungus Queen's spores, causing the quiet and peaceful lightless woodland to become more and more uncontrolled."

Brian and Hesiah remained silent, quietly listening to what the Myconid King had to say.

"Everything you saw before your eyes in the Sunless Woodland is real." The Myconid King sighed deeply in the hearts of the two of them, and slowly told what happened:

"The Fungus Queen was attracted by the surging radiation from the earth's veins, and a consciousness descended from the bottomless abyss. This consciousness happened to be attracted by the vibrant fungi in the lightless forest. Nourished by the radiation energy of the earth's veins, the Queen successfully transformed herself

His consciousness transformed into a clone and descended into the Dark Territory.

After arriving in the Aphotic Woodland, she quickly analyzed the situation and found that the fastest way to fully control the woodland was to confuse and corrupt the local native Myconid King, allowing him to serve her until she regained her clone's power, thereby strengthening her true form.

After Philo welcomed Zugmoi into the forest, the Queen secretly communicated with the mushroom king. She described a mushroom man's paradise to Philo, and lured the mushroom king to lead everyone to become her in the material plane.

Face followers.

In this never-ending exchange of ideas, Philo got lost in the devil's sinister and crazy illusion. The promised fertile soil and moisture, the recurring decay and the beautiful and transcendent dream will all be given by the generous and great Lady of Decay.

A gift from the people of the Woodlands.”

"So, the consciousness of the Fungus Queen who came to your lightless forest is a greatly weakened incarnation." Brian pondered for a moment and asked his doubts, "Then can you judge her approximate strength?

"

The so-called myconids are a group of walking mushroom people.

He is relatively familiar with the information about these mushroom people.

In myconid society, their strength is generally divided into myconid guards, myconid association leaders, and myconid kings.

If we use data to estimate, the approximate challenge level of the Myconoid Guard is 4, the challenge level of the leader of the Myconoid Association is 6, and the challenge level of the Myconoid King is level 7.

Of course, this is just an average value estimated after digitizing statistics for players to refer to. It does not mean that some powerful beings will not appear in the myconid race.

Just like the old myconid king in front of me.

Brian took a rough look and estimated that the opponent's challenge level was at least 10.

At the same time, he could not guarantee whether the Myconid King had taken up the priesthood.

From the words of the Myconid King, he came to the conclusion that the incarnation of the Fungus Queen Zugmoi had really arrived in the Underdark.

Since this incarnation is transformed by the descending consciousness after absorbing enough energy radiated by the earth's veins, the strength of the Fungus Queen is not as terrifying as imagined.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to let so many fish slip through the net in the Sunless Woodland.

Therefore, at this moment, he must confirm the approximate strength of the Fungus Queen, so that he can consider whether to help these myconids.

"I once tentatively came into contact with the consciousness of the Fungus Queen hidden in the deepest part of the forest, as well as her evil sound and light effects." Myconid King Basdia was silent for a long time, and the voice that reached the bottom of their hearts was filled with a trace of fear.

.

"Although I can feel that her incarnation, which is condensed by the energy radiated by the earth's veins, is very weak, the Queen's innate suppression of our myconids has prevented me from even getting close to the core association and the master association.

I don’t even have the courage.”

"You are afraid that you will be infected with the same spores as Philo, so you don't dare to try to contact the Fungus Queen, right?" Brian nodded thoughtfully and expressed his speculation, "So, you took the initiative to find

Our purpose is to..."

He did not continue. Although he believed his guess, he still needed the other party to admit it personally.

"Exactly."

The Myconid King nodded slightly, "The Fungus Queen cultivated the Yogmoogu Palace in the depths of the lightless forest, a super giant mushroom rooted in this fertile rot. This palace is the base of the Fungus Queen. She

She has completely controlled Philo and is letting this unfortunate myconid king cultivate an army of myconids and spore slaves for her."

"Then what is the so-called 'wedding' that Myconid King Philo is talking about?"

Hesiah couldn't help but ask the doubt that had been pressing in her heart for a long time, "Myconids throughout the woodland seem to be preparing for the 'Madam's' wedding."

"This...actually, I don't know anything about the 'wedding'."

The Myconid King sighed, "As long as my men approach the territory of the Core Society and the Master Society, they will be instantly corrupted and become their slaves. It is impossible for us to find out any information, and we even risked hiring a drow patrol

Team, after this group of dark elves entered the territory of the Master Association, there has been no news so far.

Although I don’t know what this so-called ‘wedding’ means, I have a hunch that if the Fungus Queen’s wedding is really held successfully, then our entire Sunless Woodland will face the fate of corruption.”

The Fungus Queen's Wedding?

Brian pondered for a moment and recalled that in the game world, a "putrid wedding" that shocked the world once happened in the fungus forest in the underground world of the "Supreme Forest" in the North.

The bride of the wedding is none other than the fungus queen Zugmoy.

The fungus queen Zurgmoy plots to 'marry' the fungus forest that occupies a large area of ​​the Underdark.

She is united with the fungus forest in a way that is full of satanic sacrilege towards marriage - in fact, it is a satanic ritual of domination.

Because the fungus forest looks like a huge woodland composed of countless fungi and mushrooms.

But in the eyes of the demon queen Zugmoy, who is also a fungus creature, the fungus forest is more similar to a life form.

What if the fungus queen used evil demonic domination rituals to marry the life forms of the fungus forest?

Then, Zugmoi can gain the right to rule all the fungi and life in the Fungus Forest.

This is similar to the union between human nobles and the control of each other's family power.

As long as the 'wedding' is held successfully, the Fungal Queen will gain the ability to transform the entire fungal forest, turning it into her own new power in the abyss, thereby strengthening herself.

It can be seen from this.

Tomorrow's 'wedding' in the lightless forest is the same as the fungus forest.

After all, compared to the huge fungal forest, the lightless woodland is more like a small forest.

With the current strength of the fungus queen, she can only attack the weak forests first and then gradually increase her power until she has the ability to control the entire fungus forest.

Obviously, she progressed very smoothly, and with the power she slowly accumulated, she finally had the strength to dominate the fungus forest.

Unfortunately, the Fungus Queen's long-planned plan failed.

Because the only things standing in front of her were the core power of the Myconoid tribe and the army of ooze monsters from her mortal enemy, the king of ooze monsters, Jubilex.

What determines victory or defeat is the strength of their player base.

If Brian really nipped the evil plan hatched by the Fungus Queen hidden in the Lightless Woods in the cradle, the Fungus Forest located underneath the Supreme Forest would have been spared.

"My two adventurers, if you cannot help us, the entire Sunless Woodland will be in danger of corruption." The Myconid King lowered its mushroom head that shone with pale blue light and begged.

Hesiah set her sights on Brian, waiting for him to make a decision.

Brian thought for a moment, then faced the thin and tall Myconid King in front of him, and said pretending to be unhappy, "I can help you, but the prerequisite for cooperation between the two parties is that we need to be honest with each other. Am I right?
