Chapter 166

While Lu Qi was confused, Mushroom Xingnuo seized the opportunity, exchanged a glance with An Zimo next to him, and the two mushrooms were pulled out of the soil at the same time.

They moved very quickly, running in the opposite direction of Lu Qi!

“Run, run!”

Xingnuo's several thin tentacles moved, leaving afterimages. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the woods and into the bushes.

Lu Qi was stunned for a moment, then looked down and found that the little mushroom was gone!

A blue light flashed in his eyes, and then he walked precisely in the direction where Xingnuo disappeared.

Xing Nuo and An Zimo, who had escaped, hid in a pile of grass. His light golden umbrella cover was too conspicuous, so he found a piece of dead leaf to cover the umbrella cover.

The little mushroom peeked outside and didn't see any human beings, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

An Zimo, who was standing next to him, was leaning on a wild potato, leaning against a mushroom stalk, and sighing.

"Hateful human, he must want to capture us and stew us into mushroom soup!"

Xingnuo held a large leaf on his head, looked at the surrounding environment, and then looked up from the gap in the grass, looking at the unreachable mountaintop, and said worriedly:

"The Mushroom King lives so far away, we don't know when we can get there."

When the two mushrooms were feeling worried, some sunlight came through the gaps between the leaves and made the whole mushrooms wilt.

"Hate the sun! It's drying up my only mushroom stem!"

An Zimo was furious. He got angry for a moment, then shrank into the mud and continued to be angry.

Mushrooms don't like the sun. They like rain and a dark and humid environment, which is conducive to their growth.

Xingnuo is now just a very small mushroom, not even as big as a human palm.

But he has great ambitions, he wants to become the biggest and most beautiful mushroom on the mountain!

It would be best if it could be like the legendary mushroom king, with a huge body and a delicate and beautiful cap!

Xing Nuo saw that An Zimo looked even uglier after being exposed to the sun, so he quickly moved over and gave him half of the leaves on the umbrella.

"It's okay. We'll use leaves to block the sun. When the sun is blocked by clouds, we'll continue on our way."

An Zimo could only sigh, "Okay."

Then, he sighed again: "It seems that after using the leaves to block the sun, it really is not that hot!"

Xingnuo also felt cooler than before, and half of the umbrella cover popped out from under the leaves. He didn't see the sun above his head, but he saw Lu Qi who was using his hands to shade them.

Lu Qi squatted on the ground and used his hands to block the sunlight for Xingnuo, leaving a shadow for the little mushroom.

Xing Nuo looked up blankly, looking into Lu Qi's icy blue eyes, feeling somewhat familiar.

"How did you find us?"

Lu Qi arched his eyebrows and looked at Xingnuo, who was as small as a mushroom, and lowered his voice:

"I can always find you."

Xingnuo didn't understand, but seeing this human blocking the sun for him, he wasn't as scared as before. He couldn't help but ask under the falling leaves:

"Are you going up the mountain to catch our mushrooms?"

Before Lu Qi could answer, An Zimo, who saw him nearby, was horrified. He pulled out the mushroom stalk with a roar and bravely attacked Lu Qi.

"Human, die!"

An Zimo threw himself out to attack Lu Qi, but Lu Qi took a half step back to avoid him, and An Zimo fell headfirst into the mud.

Xingnuo also hurried out of the soil and used the umbrella cap to push his good friend.

"An Zimo! Wake up!"

An Zimo knocked himself unconscious, and found himself like a mushroom, head down in the soil, with a few thin transparent tentacles pointing upwards, swaying back and forth in the wind.

Xing Nuo was so anxious that he circled around An Zimo twice, but failed to push his good friend out of the mud.

"What shall I do?"

When Xingnuo was getting anxious, Lu Qi next to him shaded the mushroom with one hand and freed up his other hand to pull An Zimo out of the soil.

The dizzy An Zimo was thrown to the ground by Lu Qi, who wiped his hands on his clothes in disgust.

“It’s really dirty.”

Seeing that An Zimo was fine, Xing Nuo let out a long sigh and couldn't help but look up at Lu Qi.

"Thank you, you are a good man."

Instead of taking advantage of the mushrooms to capture them, he provided shade to the mushrooms and pulled An Zimo out of the soil.

Xingnuo was really tired after walking for so long, so he hid under a huge leaf and leaned against the root of the leaf to rest.

"Human, why did you come to the mountain? This is our mushroom territory."

When Lu Qi heard Little Mushroom calling him "human" all the time, it seemed as if he really had not remembered that he had ever been a human. He propped up his chin and squatted down to look at him.

"I am not a human. I came to the mountain to find you."

Xingnuo didn't remember knowing the human in front of him. After thinking for a while, he tilted his mushroom cap and said:

"Did you run into me when you went up the mountain to pick mushrooms?"

Lu Qi shook his head, his icy blue eyes floating as he carefully looked at the small mushroom in front of him.

"No, we are good friends."

These were words Xing Nuo had said personally. Lu Qi had always remembered them and would often use them to anger An Zimo.

"good friend?"

Xingnuo was shocked, when did he become friends with humans?

Lu Qi nodded affirmatively and whispered:

"Xingnuo, you are a human being. Have you forgotten? You are already in elementary school. You live in the Happy Home Community, and you have a father and a brother..."

Xing Nuo didn't remember anything that Lu Qi said.

He shook his mushroom cap vigorously and said firmly:

"No, I'm just a little mushroom!"

Then, Xing Nuo suddenly came to his senses and looked at Lu Qi and said:

"I see. You ate poisonous mushrooms. Your head is dizzy now, right?"

Lu Qi fell silent, and after a long while he sighed and explained:

"I don't eat mushrooms. I'm not a human being. I don't need to eat."

Xing Nuo was now even more certain that Lu Qi must have eaten poisonous mushrooms and became stupid!

Not only do I feel that I am not a human, I also think that little mushrooms are humans!

Xing Nuo looked at Lu Qi sympathetically and couldn't help but say:

"It's okay to eat poisonous mushrooms. Just wait a while. After the toxic effect of the mushrooms wears off, you'll remember it."

Lu Qi stopped talking, feeling that this topic could not be continued, so he had to change the topic:

"Xingnuo wants to go up the mountain? What are you going to do?"

Xingnuo thought the person in front of him was stupid, but his clever little brain suddenly turned and he instantly thought of a way to go up the mountain!

"Yes, we are going to find the Mushroom King to help An Zimo grow an umbrella cap. Do you want to come with us? He can definitely help you solve the problem of eating poisonous mushrooms!"

Naturally, Lu Qi would not refuse. He took out a small backpack, padded it with a lot of soft grass, and carefully placed the little mushroom Xingnuo in it.

"You stay in the backpack, I will take you up the mountain."

Xingnuo jumped in the backpack and said hurriedly:

"You forgot about An Zimo!"

Lu Qi then turned around, picked up the ugly mushroom stalk lying on the ground, and threw it into the backpack.

An Zimo's head was already dizzy, and now it became even more dizzy.

He lay in the backpack and didn't wake up for a long time.

The sun came out. The autumn sun was still somewhat hot, shining through the gaps between the leaves and shone on the golden little mushrooms.

The light golden little mushrooms seemed to be melted by the sunlight, so golden that they almost melted into the light.

Fortunately, Lu Qi picked a huge leaf and covered the basket with it to block the annoying sunlight for the little mushrooms.

Xingnuo held the big leaf with half of the umbrella cap sticking out, looking at Lu Qi who was walking across the stream in front of him.

In order to avoid getting his shoes wet, Lu Qi held his shoes and stepped into the water barefoot.

Only then did Xingnuo discover that Lu Qi's feet were different from those of ordinary people. They were made of silver-white metal.

The metal simulates the shape of human muscles and bones, and the movements are smooth and fluent without any sense of stagnation.

Coupled with the icy blue light that Lu Qi always inadvertently revealed, Little Mushroom immediately believed that Lu Qi was really not a human!

So Lu Qi didn't eat the poisonous mushrooms and was just talking nonsense in a delirious state?

Then what he said about little mushrooms being humans, could it be true?

Xingnuo realized belatedly that he had actually begun to doubt Mushroom's identity!

This won’t do!

Xingnuo thought that as a little mushroom, he should go to pay a visit to the Mushroom King and work hard to grow into a big mushroom!

And what's good about being human?

As Xingnuo's backpack swayed, the whole mushroom swayed along with it.

In his little head, he has thought of many, many questions along the way.

Lu Qi is a very silent and quiet person. When he was with Xing Nuo before, Xing Nuo always talked more.

He didn't say a word all the way until he was almost at the top of the mountain. Then Lu Qi spoke:

"We're almost there, where is the Mushroom King?"

An Zimo had been dizzy all the way and woke up at this time. He stood up from the backpack and looked down.

The dark green mountains floated at their feet, the white clouds in the sky seemed to float around the mushrooms, and the view before them was wide open.

They reached the top of the mountain!

Xingnuo and An Zimo came out of the backpack, encouraged each other, and walked forward with great ambition.

"We'll go the rest of the way by ourselves!"

In Lu Qi's eyes, the two little mushrooms were so proud and heroic, not even as big as his hands, they were jumping towards the highest point of the mountain.

The little golden mushroom is topped with a leaf to provide shade. It is small and very cute.

Lu Qi is not a mushroom, so he cannot go to the forbidden area of ​​the Mushroom King. He can only stand where he is and wait for the two little mushrooms to come back.

The last short section of the trail was smoother, the air at the top of the mountain was cool, and there was an occasional breeze.

Fortunately, the little mushroom was very good at hiding. Whenever there was any movement, it would hide in the soil first. Finally, it reached the top of the mountain safely.

The two little mushrooms stood a few steps away from the top of the mountain, looking at the mushroom that was almost as tall as the trees and blocked out the sun, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Oh my god, is this the Mushroom King?"

An Zimo was the most excited. He slid down to his knees and prostrated himself on the ground.

"Meet the Mushroom King! Please save me, Mushroom King!"

Xingnuo also hurriedly followed suit and bowed down, but out of the corner of his eye, he kept stealing glances at the big mushroom.

The big mushroom is pure black, but it has intricate patterns on it. The umbrella stem is pure white, and some spores are blown away when it sways in the wind.

The sleeping Mushroom King was awakened by two chirping little mushrooms. He opened his eyes and searched for a long time before seeing a small mushroom that was not much bigger than the leaves at his feet.

“You are…”

The Mushroom King looked at the two small mushrooms, and a deep and majestic voice sounded. After a pause, he laughed.

"So you are two newly transformed little mushrooms. What's the matter with you coming to see me?"

An Zimo opened his mouth quickly and stated his request:

"Mushroom King, I also want to have a beautiful cap like other mushrooms! This way I won't be laughed at by other little mushrooms!"

Xingnuo nodded and spoke in a childish voice:

"Mushroom King, please help An Zimo!"
