After the team crossed the Greywind Ridge, the Green Dragon Mountains blocked the rain clouds from the south, and the sky began to clear. Just after noon, Mr. Limestone entered a valley, and the rain had stopped, but the valley was still overflowing, and it was extremely difficult to move forward in the mud, and everyone had to 'get out of the car' from time to time to make way for the great negative hill beast.

The valley was lush with vegetation, with sparkling water vapor on the curly ferns, and mushrooms growing on top of the decaying trunks.

Miss Elf only picks a few of them before telling the others how to tell the difference between the harmless ones, there are many more wild mushrooms in Aitalia than on Earth, and some of them are not only poisonous, but even contain strange magical powers.

For example, an oily yellow mushroom, the bright color is not a good kind at first glance, but it is actually non-toxic and harmless, and it can temporarily increase a person's insight after eating.

This thing can even be eaten raw, the taste of raw food is a little astringent, but there is a fresh taste after the dry astringency, in short, the experience is very strange, Fang Yuan does not want to try it a second time.

After taking a bite of it, he immediately felt that the scene around him had become a little different.

I saw that there seemed to be countless strange textures between the trees, as if they were human appearances, some were sighing, some were smiling, and some were glaring angrily, as if they would pounce on them at any time.

The birds of all colors are hidden among the dense foliage, which is also magnified to appear exaggerated and grotesque, and as if the body is surrounded by a circle of red light, it is unusually conspicuous.

He could even see a Fenris grey-spotted longhorn a few dozen meters away, something that was one size smaller than the average longhorn in other areas.

The movement in the surrounding grass caught his eye, and Fang Plover turned his head to see a young deer made of bones flashing past him. It stopped far away, and even turned its head to look at him with its black hole-like eyes, startling him a lot.

However, the strange vision soon faded into effect, and the surrounding trees returned to their original shapes.

Atila looked at him narrowly, her pointed ears twitching slightly, "How is it?" ”

Fang Yu rubbed his eyes, and then he understood that the gentle elf lady is also good at playing tricks, where is this thing added is insight, and it is clear whether it is good or not.

"This mushroom is called the Eye of Orphen, and it's a well-known medium-like material in the Giant Tree Hill, but it does have the effect of increasing insight, and the correct way to use it is to mash it and apply it to your eyelids with a magic solution."

"In addition, eating too much will cause hallucinations."

Fang Yu didn't feel any hallucinations, only felt a little dizzy.

Miss Attila leaned over to take a closer look, opened his eyelids with her hand, and asked with concern, "Is it all right?" ”

Fang Yu shook his head.

However, he has no problem, it does not mean that the others have no problem, and in the blink of an eye of the two of them, Tianlan and Paparal disappeared.

Finally they found the two guys on the other side of the platform.

The Paparal eats a crowned glowing mushroom that glows from his chin to neck, and he puffs out his cheeks like a walking lamp.

At the same time, he shouted to the others: "Ah, I feel bad, like swallowing a light bulb." Am I going to die? By the way, where is the nearest Resurrection Temple? I don't want to be resurrected in Roman's Temple, where her priest is not humane at all. ”

"You can't die," Attila gave the guy an angry look, "but you'll be uncomfortable for two to three hours, don't worry, this mushroom is good and harmless." ”

Parker opened his mouth wide and stuck out his glowing tongue like a mutated anglerfish, "Really? Shall I eat another one? ”

"So you're going to spend the night in this state?"

Rhett leaned comfortably on the railing and smoked his pipe, his silver-gray eyes looking into the valley in the distance: "By the way, this is the territory of the night lizardmen, and they are all highly skilled marksmen, especially sensitive to light, you know what I mean?" ”

Parker swallowed a gulp of saliva and hurriedly looked left and right.

"What about that day blue?" Fang Yu had even more headaches here.

The little French girl is completely gone.

Her clothes were scattered all over the ground, the magic furnace, Karn's harp, and the scattered small objects on her body fell to the ground, and only a small white cat was left between the clothes, tilting its head and staring at the few people with big blue eyes.

"Meow ——?"

"What is this?"

"Shapeshifting mushrooms, this thing is rare." Kita frowned and said, "I don't know where Sister Furi got it from. ”

"How dare she eat it?" Fang Yu couldn't help asking.

Luo Yu lifted her by the back of her neck with her hand, and the kitten struggled hard, meowing milkily.

"Luo Yu, you put her down." Attila said angrily.

Luo Yu curiously turned around to look at her belly, and was so angry that Tianlan scratched his arm with a paw, leaving a bloody trail there. As soon as Luo Yu let go of his hand, the kitten jumped three times and hid behind Sylvede's leather boots, looking at everyone in fear.

The aristocratic lady gently touched her head and picked her up and held her in her arms.

Strange to say, the kitten seemed to enjoy her petting, her eyes narrowed into a line, and she curled up her tail in her arms, and purred some meaningless.

Attila glared at Luo Yu and looked at the blood marks on his hands: "It's really self-inflicted, go and bandage it." ”

"Is this really sky blue?" Fang Yu always felt that the performance of this kitten was very different from that of Sky Blue.

"Shapeshifting mushrooms affect people's minds to a certain extent." Kita explained quietly.

"There won't be any after-effects, right?"

The little girl shook her head: "The transformation effect only lasts for a while, and the person concerned will only remember some vague details, and theoretically there will be no sequelae." ”

"She's stupid enough anyway, and this thing doesn't at least make her any stupider." Paparal said, puffing out glowing cheeks.

"Shut up, Parker," Attila said sternly, "look at yourself, are you qualified to speak?" ”

The Paparal's symptoms became more severe, staring at glowing eye bubbles like a frog: "Freedom of speech." ”

"I seem to see traces of night lizardmen in the woods." Red said, putting down his pipe.

Parker almost jumped: "Wait, where?" ”

"Who knows?"

The former shuddered, didn't dare to brag anymore, and hurriedly covered his neck and went back to the carriage.

The series of events caused by the mushrooms soon passed, and Ettila confiscated the glowing and shapeshifting mushrooms from the two troublemakers and handed them over to Fang Ou.

To say that these two mushrooms are also rare varieties in the wild, and are often used in potion configurations and alchemy ingredients, I don't know how these two people won the jackpot.

Fang Yuan's current alchemy level didn't have any ideas about using these mid-to-high-end materials, so he could only put them in glass bottles first, and put them in the dark compartment under the bed with the raw materials of the β crystal.

On the other hand, the sequelae of eating mushrooms by mistake is that Parker completely turns into a light bulb, and it is said that this state lasts until after the evening.

It was Tianlan who regained her true form, but the little girl hid in the house with a red face and refused to come out to see anyone.

Attila solemnly asked Luo Yu to apologize to her, and Luo Yu nodded honestly.

It's just that Fang Yu saw this guy at the door for a long time, as if he was considering the words, and then said sincerely: "Tianlan, in fact, you have become a cat is quite good-looking, and you look a bit like a kitten I used to raise——"

"Go away!"

Sky Blue screamed, threw a book and smashed it on his head, then slammed the door shut, and then the little girl locked the door inside, and no one tried to persuade her to come out.

This is really a pot that can't be opened.

Seeing this, Fang Yu couldn't help but support his forehead.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun finally broke out of the clouds, reflecting a rainbow over the vapour-filled valley.

The others took a brief break — afternoon tea on the platform, with the exception of Sky Blue and Parker — before returning to work on the paving of the road and bridge. It was a painstaking and tiring task, first cutting down the surrounding trees and then laboriously carrying them out to pave a path through the muddy water.

And if the Negative Hill Beast accidentally falls into a mud pit, then the trouble is even greater.

Fang Yuan, Luo Yu and the big cat man were all covered in wet mud, and the mud dried up on their arms, neck, and legs, making people itch and panic, and they fell down in lumps with their hands along with the mud and sand, revealing the skin that was red from allergies underneath.

There are swarms of insects in the forest, even if you ignite the pine resin to drive it away, it is basically useless, and some bloodsucking mosquitoes the size of a palm can even provide experience after killing.

The terrifying extent can be imagined -

Luo Yu was bitten and almost immediately withdrew from the battle. Only the big cat man is at ease, he is a lion man with rough skin and thick flesh, and he has a long tail that sweeps around to repel mosquitoes.

It was Fang Yu himself, and the insects seemed to be deliberately avoiding him, and as soon as he stood there, the mosquitoes flew away.

The big cat man jokingly called him the king of mosquitoes, but Fang Yu himself knew that it was the golden flame ring on his body that was in play.

The ring seemed to exude a faint dragon aura to the surroundings all the time, so that wild animals and insects did not dare to approach him easily.

He did several experiments to come to this conclusion, but unfortunately it has a limited range of effect and only has an effect on the carrier. Fang Yu looked at Luo Yu's miserable situation, and couldn't help but look at the heavy golden ring in his palm, glad that this was really a good thing.

When the group crossed the river beach, they almost found danger, and the negative hill beast almost fell into the mire because of its own weight.

He and Red tried their best to recoup the damage, but Mr. Greystone inevitably suffered a little injury.

The first day of the journey did not go as smoothly as expected, and the flash floods seriously disrupted everyone's trip.

Although they still arrived at the Emerald Pass before the twilight rose, there was still a lot of travel to Andreita Falls, and the plans for the first day were largely aborted.

After crossing the Emerald Pass, the mountain road became much easier to walk here because the storm had not yet had time to invade the mountains behind.

It took them an hour or two to walk out of the shape of about ten miles and enter a forest. Then the sun gradually sinks into the mountains, and night falls.

The gloomy clouds obscured the sunset, and the bad weather made the sunset even before half of the sky could be dyed red, and the surroundings seemed to sneak into the drowsy night abruptly.

Floating in the forest are Geirin crystals, and Fenris's protocrystals contain light elements that glow faintly at night.

Far and near, shining like fireflies.

But the night was not peaceful.

As Red the Lion said, the Green Dragon Mountains are inhabited by night lizardmen, natural hunters who are light-weary, nocturnal, lurking in underground caverns during the day, and returning to the surface to hunt at night.

Their eyes are sensitive to light, and the thin starlight can make them see miles away in the night, and the shimmering environment created by the light crystals in the Green Dragon Mountains is simply their natural hunting ground.

Fang Plover consulted the others and let the Negative Hill Beast stop behind the Grey Wind Ridge, on a terrace a few miles south of the Emerald Pass.

But what no one expected was that they were attacked by two groups of night lizardmen overnight. The first group of night lizards infiltrated at one or two o'clock in the morning, and after triggering the alchemical trap set by Fang Ou on the outskirts of the camp, they turned to the platform to attack.

This group of night lizardmen is about a dozen or so, and the night lizardmen are fourteenth-level creatures, and this number does not pose much of a threat to the team. But the battle in the darkness caused great trouble for everyone, and although there were torches on the platform, the fire could not reach too far. The night lizard people were surprisingly accurate in the dark, and everyone tried to shoot at them with the help of the newly installed ballistas on the platform, but as soon as they showed up, they were full of shots.

The crowd had no choice but to retreat to the carriage, but it was not realistic for the lion man to carry the torch and kill him. These monsters are natural light-weary hunters, and they have a whole set of methods for light sources, and the sacrifices they accompany actually have flame extinguishing techniques, and the big cat people have rushed several times because of the reason why the torch is extinguished.

In the end, it was Fang Yuan's clockwork fairy who caught the location of the night lizard sacrifice in the dark, and then Fang Yuan asked Parker to solve the problem with an explosive shot.

As soon as the only nocturnal lizardman died, the remaining lizardmen seemed to realize that the situation was over, and they retreated into the forest.

The second group of night lizards did not seem to be from the same clan as the first group of attackers, they arrived before dawn, and did not learn the lessons of the former, and were killed by Fang Yu in the same way as soon as the scene began.

Only the second group of raiders was much larger than the first, and the forest was filled with these dry, pale-eyed, deadwood-like lizardmen hunters in the light of the fire.

The other party even brought a night lizard sorcerer, and Fang Yu and these ghosts actually used a magic guide to almost blow up Parker, Red, and Luo Yu's carriages with a few fireball spells.

The battle in the dark was still bitter, and this time even the clockwork goblin was not good, and the other party obviously raised his vigilance after suffering a loss. After the first wave of attacks, Fang Plover almost lost two and a half clockwork elves to find the third sacrifice.

And after that, nothing has been accomplished.

Of course, it was two and a half clockwork goblins, because there was a clockwork goblin that Fang Yu himself gave up control, and in order to avoid being shot down, he let it fly directly into a tree hole.

I don't know if I can find it back.

The only good thing was that the attackers arrived relatively late, and after about half an hour of fighting, the sky cleared and the Golden Star appeared on the horizon.

Then the night lizardmen retreated like a tidal wave, disappearing into the forest as if they had never been there.

"Where the hell did this stuff come from!" Parker screamed in anger - he had been shot in the ass during the fight and was still lying on the ground.

And Fang Yu looked at the platform where the smoke curled and was burned black, and he also shook his head.

This thing has only been repaired for a long time, and it looks like it is going to be overhauled again, and although the pack beast platform is easy to use, this defense is inevitably too low.

He saw Attila coming down from the first saddle bridge and couldn't help but ask, "Is Mr. Gray Rock injured?" ”

Miss Elf shook her head: "We were lucky enough to have only a few skin injuries, which is nothing to it. Just prepare some herbs later. ”

Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

This is probably a blessing in disguise.
