Zuo Si asked, pointing at the book in his hand, which looked like it was written in the gibberish of a mentally ill madman.

What's even more outrageous is that this book is not written in Dark Elf, but in Abyssal Language.

You should know that Abyssal Language was originally a language and writing used by the demons in the Abyss.

Although it does not have the terrifying power of "blasphemous words" and "dark holy words", it is also quite chaotic and evil.

Just like there are almost no words in the Dark Elf language to describe beauty, love, kindness, etc., but there are countless words to describe killing, death, torture, abuse, etc., many special words in the Abyssal language are simply not understandable to people with normal mental and logical thinking.

Many mages, when studying the Abyssal Language, especially the contents of the Demon Book, will inevitably be influenced by the crazy talk contained in it.

Either he becomes more and more evil and cruel, or he turns into a completely confused lunatic.

The most important thing is that the book in Zuo Si's hand has no author's signature and looks quite old, especially the strange diamond mark at the end, which is exactly the same as the clue he got through prophecy magic.

As for the content, it mainly describes a fight between Fungus Lady Zugmoi and a powerful unknown existence, located in the Fungus Forest in the present-day Northern Underdark.

However, since the entire text is written in the intermittent and extremely chaotic Abyss Language, it is impossible for the reader to understand the specific battle process and the power used by both sides.

The only thing that is certain is that Lady Fungus Zugmoi was most likely defeated in this battle.

That large fungal forest was left behind when she retreated.

This is somewhat consistent with the records in the Mage Tower.

But what is puzzling is what the diamond-shaped mark on the last page represents? Is it some powerful weapon or other magical item left in the fungal forest? Or is it a device similar to a seal or a portal?

Or is it simply a part of the body of Fungus Lady Zugmoi?

Perhaps it was this thing that attracted the great druid Angel Poisoncore, and even made him turn from worshipping the goddess of poison and disease, Talona, ​​to worshipping a demon lord.

You should know that in Faerun, the biggest difference between worshiping a true god and worshiping a demon lord or devil duke is that the former will fulfill its duty to protect the souls of believers no matter how evil they are.

Although some evil gods will devour the souls of their believers in critical situations to temporarily increase their own power, this situation does not happen very often.

But the latter are different, they simply regard the soul as a resource and currency.

Even the devil of hell, who is known as the one with the strongest "contract spirit" in the entire multiverse, still uses deception to gain souls, and uses various unpredictable techniques to play tricks within the contract.

When the mortal who signed the contract dies and goes to hell, he will find that he has been deceived.

In comparison, demons are even more arbitrary and can do whatever they want with the souls they have obtained.

I don't care about contracts, promises, etc.

I guess he would only be willing to spend a little effort to lure a paladin into corruption.

After all, the more holy and noble the soul is, the stronger the evil force it forms after its fall will be. It may even be directly promoted by the will of the abyss to become the top demons such as the six-armed snake demon and the baroque demon.

It is easy to understand if ordinary people who know nothing worship the demon lord.

After all, these people lack the corresponding knowledge and have no idea what the real abyss and demons look like. They only know that they can gain powerful strength from the other party through sacrifice.

As for the price to be paid...

Sorry, the devil won't tell you that.

But the problem is that Angel Duxin is obviously not an ordinary person.

When he worshipped Talona, ​​he was already a LV19 Archdruid, just one step away from becoming a Legendary Druid.

There is no way such a guy doesn't know what a demon lord is.

Therefore, Zuo Si has always tended to believe that the other party has discovered some unknown secrets, or something that can make him more powerful.

Based on the information collected so far, this secret or thing should be inside the fungal forest.

Lirael obviously didn't know what was going on in Zuo Si's mind. She said in a slightly excited tone, "I sneaked into the innermost room of the Spider Academy Library and stole it. By the way, most of the books on that bookshelf are books that normal people can't understand, and students are forbidden to borrow them. How is it? Is it helpful to you?"

Zuo Si smiled and nodded: "Of course, it's very helpful. At least now I know that there is definitely something coveted in the Fungus Forest."

"Is it some treasure?" Lirael's eyes lit up slightly.

You know, before Trill became the matriarch of House Baenre, she loved adventuring in the Underdark the most.

Because only by leaving the city of Menzoberranzan could the dark elf girl get rid of the indescribable feeling of oppression, embrace freedom, enjoy the joy of adventure, and even make friends with a mentally ill two-headed abyss dragon.

"Treasure? Well - I'm not sure whether this thing can be considered a treasure. But one thing is certain, that is, it must have an extremely amazing value." Zuo Si answered meaningfully.

"So you want to go treasure hunting? Then you must take me with you!" Lirael took the opportunity to make a request.

"Take you with us? I guarantee that if you are in the team, we won't even be able to get out of the gate of Menzoberranzan. Let's not talk about the reaction of the Baenre family. Just your father, the chief wizard, can cause us a lot of trouble." Zuo Si teased in a half-joking tone.

Although the other party has not shown up yet, the ubiquitous surveillance can already be felt.

In addition, through Lirael, he had learned a lot about this rare legendary wizard among the dark elves.

To put it simply, Gongfu Baenre's life experience is like that of the protagonists of many cool novels. Not only was he the eldest son of the first family since birth, but he also had an excellent talent for magic. In less than a hundred years, he surpassed everyone and became the recognized strongest chief wizard.

From then on, he began to use the power and authority in his hands to wantonly play with these self-proclaimed noble priestesses, making them willing to be his lovers, and he also established a harem and gave birth to many heirs.

But it is not known whether it was due to the influence of the matriarchal society of the Dark Elves or his own reasons, but Gromfu only raised his daughters by himself.

My son...

Sorry, he didn't even bother to pay any attention and just let it die on its own.

Take Lirael for example. Not only does she have her own mansion, guards and servants, but she also receives a large amount of pocket money from her father every year, so she can buy whatever she wants.

In addition, although her surname was also Banrui, she was not the mistress's child, so she did not need to participate in the power struggle within the family.

Because there was no threat and with the face of the Chief Archmage, Lirael had almost never been involved in any conspiracy or struggle since she was a child, and spent her childhood in a state that most dark elves could not imagine.

Precisely because she was protected so well, she was completely free of the ambition, cunning, coldness and cruelty of her compatriots.

Therefore, Zuo Si felt that Gongfu Banrui should have a strong possessiveness and special feelings for his daughters.

If I kidnap Lirael, she will probably react violently.

Although he himself did not think Gongfu was difficult to deal with, it was still not a good idea to beat or kill the father in front of his daughter.

"Are you afraid of my father?" Lirael asked, blinking her eyes curiously.

Zuo Si shook his head gently: "No, of course not, I just simply don't want to have a conflict with your father, otherwise it will be difficult for you to be caught in the middle."

"Okay, I see what you mean."

Lirael sighed helplessly.

Because the girl suddenly recalled that several dark elf mercenaries had been hired to take her to the Underdark for a trip, but they disappeared inexplicably after returning.

She was quite young at the time and didn't notice anything was wrong.

But now that I think about it carefully, it is likely that Gongfu secretly arranged for someone to deal with it.

This was also one of the reasons why almost no one was willing to hire her later.

Lirael didn't want this "peer" friend she had finally made to lose his life just because of her willfulness.

You know, it's not easy to find someone in the city of Menzoberranzan who has similar values ​​to her and can get along with her.

What's more, the dark elf girl really liked the erudition, calmness, rationality and sense of humor revealed in Zuo Si's conversation.

Especially the last one, which is something that almost 99% of the dark elves do not have.

Most dark elves, especially males, are ambitious and want to show their strong, cold, and cruel side as much as possible.

If it were a dark elf woman who had received traditional education, she might like and appreciate these.

But the problem is that Lirael is not "traditional" at all, otherwise she would not become a follower of the Dark Maiden Eilistraee in the future.

Just when Zuo Si wanted to say something, a dark elf warrior guarding the door suddenly rushed in and reported in a slightly nervous tone: "Master, I think we are in trouble. Madam Trill of the Banrui family is rushing towards us with her people. It is estimated that they will arrive in a few minutes."

"Oh? How many people did she bring?"

Zuo Si asked casually.

"About four high priestesses, three mages, four warriors, and almost two hundred soldiers. What do we do now?"

The soldier quickly reported a rough number.

It is not difficult to tell from the panic expression on his face how nervous he is at the moment.

After all, for the dark elves, the first family of a city often means unimaginable power and authority.

Once you offend them, you might die without knowing how.

"Relax, the situation should not be as bad as you think. If Madam Cui Er wants to attack us, it will not be just these few people who come, but a well-equipped and well-trained army." Zuo Si analyzed very calmly.

He had already met Ivone Baenre and had a rough idea of ​​the attitude of the spider goddess Rose. He was not worried at all that the matriarchs of these families would come against him.

"So what you mean is..."

The dark elf warrior asked in an uncertain tone.

"Just do whatever you need to do. I'll take care of it myself later."

After saying that, Zuo Si waved his hand to signal the other party that he could go out and continue guarding the entrance.

Lirael was obviously still quite afraid of the approaching Madam Treil, and immediately cautiously asked, "Should I avoid her?"

"No need. If I'm not mistaken, Madam Treil is here to accuse you of stealing books from the Spider Academy. So there's no point in hiding. You might as well admit it openly and see what she wants to do."

While speaking, Zuo Si closed the book full of nonsense in his hand and put it on the table where he could see it at a glance.

After about a few minutes, a noisy sound of footsteps came from outside.

Immediately afterwards, a Drow woman who looked quite old but still retained a mature charm walked in from the door with a dozen people.

Needless to say, the high-ranking priestess in the lead is the current Matron Trill of the Baenre family.

Although she is over seven hundred years old, she looks like a human in her thirties.

You have to know that theoretically, the elves of Faerun's body will not age easily, and under normal circumstances, there will be no more changes after adulthood.

Only when the theoretical limit of lifespan is reached and the body and soul begin to mismatch will the elves show signs of aging.

Especially for the dark elves, even if they are over 600 years old, their hair will only become thinner and the color will turn gray or a little yellow.

Only after 800 years old will they start to show obvious signs of aging, such as wrinkles, like humans.

However, most dark elves do not live to this age, and will die in various conspiracies and brutal fights between noble families.

Of course, if the spider goddess Rose particularly favors a priestess, then she is very likely to live over a thousand years.

The previous matriarch of the Banrui family was one of the best.

But unfortunately, Madam Trill apparently did not receive any special favor from Rose.

Looking at the aggressive high-ranking priestess, Zuo Si pretended to know nothing and put one hand on his chest and bowed slightly: "Ah! Honorable Madam Cui Er, I am honored to have you here. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Stop talking so slickly! Men, do you know how serious a crime you have committed?"

Another noble priestess wearing the emblem of the Banrui family stood up and shouted at her.

"Crime? What crime? How come I know nothing about it?" Zuo Si continued to play dumb with an innocent look on his face.

"You incited Lirael to steal the property of the Spider Academy! This is the greatest disrespect and blasphemy to the goddess! According to the laws of Menzoberranzan, you should be thrown into the pit to feed the spiders."

Another high-ranking priestess stepped forward and issued a vicious threat.

Just like the previous one, she kept waving the snake-head whip in her hand while saying this, as if she could whip someone hard at any time.

After all, in the dark elf society, high-ranking priestesses don't need a reason to whip lowly men, as long as they feel happy.

Generally speaking, when the high priestess raises the whip, most men will surrender obediently.

Unfortunately, Zuo Si didn't buy it at all. He even ignored the other party and turned his gaze directly to Madam Trill. He asked in a tone that would definitely be considered offensive in Menzoberranzan: "Madam, are you sure you want to communicate with me in this way? If so, then we may become enemies."

As the last word came out of his mouth, his eyes suddenly became extremely aggressive, without any of the awe and fear that a dark elf male should have towards a high-level priestess.

Even from a distance, one could feel the suffocating and bloody murderous aura.

The expressions of all the members of the First Family present changed instantly.

Whether male or female, warrior or spellcaster, they all subconsciously clenched their weapons.

One guy even wanted to turn around and give orders to the soldiers staying outside, but before he could take action, he felt a chill on his neck.

When he lowered his head, he found that there was a scimitar at his neck.

It's obvious without asking that Trist, who had been hiding in the dark, finally took action.

Due to the close distance, Madam Trill immediately recognized the traitor who had caused such a huge disturbance in Menzoberranzan. Her nerves tensed instantly and she loudly asked, "Drizzt Do'Urden? How dare you come back!"

"If I had a choice, I actually don't want to return to this homeland full of evil and chaos. But unfortunately, I have no choice. Also, I advise you not to act rashly, because at this distance, my scimitar can cut your throat and chop off your head at any time." The dark elf ranger threatened calmly.

moment!

The members of the Banrui family who were eager to take action in the previous second, became motionless in the next second as if they were under a spell.

They were not idiots, many of them had even seen Drizzt's violent posture in battle, and they also understood what it meant to be closely guarded by a master who was proficient in the De La Villefort (double-blade) style of martial arts.

Although if they acted together, it would be impossible for Trist to kill so many high-level warriors, priests, and mages in a short period of time. Only the first two or three people who acted would die.

But the problem is, they are selfish dark elves. How could anyone be willing to sacrifice themselves to save others?

Especially Mistress Trill, who was pointed at by the ranger with another scimitar, was almost furious. She turned her head and stared at Zuo Si fiercely: "What do you mean by this? Do you want to make an enemy of the entire city of Menzoberranzan?"

"Haha, if this sentence was said by the former Banrui family, perhaps there wouldn't be any big problem. But unfortunately, is the current Banrui family really qualified to represent the city of Menzoberranzan? Believe it or not, if I kill all of you here and now, the second and third ranked families will immediately mobilize their armies and launch a full-scale attack on the Banrui family's mansion?" Zuo Si asked fearlessly.

"Nothing, I just want you to understand that I am a little different from the dark elf men you know. I will not bow down to the mistress or the high priestess, nor will I abide by the so-called rules and laws. I don't even believe in Rose, the spider goddess you serve."

Zuo Si chose to confront with a smile.

Because he had collected enough information, there was no need to stay in Menzoberranzan and continue playing the game of intrigue and deception with these dark elves.

"Heretic! How dare you blaspheme the goddess? I will dig out your heart!"

A high-ranking priestess swung the snake-head whip like crazy, trying to strangle Zuo Si's neck at lightning speed.

You should know that most high-level priestesses are fanatical followers of Rose.

When it comes to faith, they have no rationality at all and tend to become more extreme and crazy than each other.

In order to please the goddess, sacrificing children and spouses was common practice.

Unfortunately, this high-ranking priestess apparently overlooked the fact that Zuo Si was no pushover, nor was he one of those real dark elf men who dared not offer any resistance.

The moment she swung the whip, an invisible sharp blade directly cut across his neck.

The next second...

puff!!!!!!

The head was pushed high up, and blood spurted out more than two meters high in an instant. Then the headless body fell to the ground with a thud.

不用问也知道，左思抢在崔斯特动手之前使用了神锋无影咒。

不得不说，这个魔咒在发动突然袭击的时候实在是太好用了。

因为它不像其他魔法，会有各种各样的光影效果和能量聚集，很容易就会引起对方的警惕。

刚好相反！

在释放出去之前，神锋无影咒从始至终都没有哪怕一丁点的迹象。

唯有当魔力形成的锋刃切割到身体上的时候，才会感受到刻骨铭心的剧痛。以及附着在伤口附近的诅咒力量。

很显然，崔尔主母根本没有预料到左思竟然真的敢动手杀死一名班瑞家族的高阶女祭司，当场被溅了一脸血，目瞪口呆的愣在原地。

不光是她，刚才还有两名想要动手捍卫女神对黑暗精灵种族信仰控制的高阶女祭司也僵在了原地。

但左思像做了一件微不足道的小事一样，轻轻摆弄着不知何时出现在手里的魔杖，用略带轻蔑的语气问：“还有谁想要证明自己对于罗丝虔诚的信仰吗？没关系！你们现在都可以站出来。我非常乐意助人，可以帮你们立马见到女神。”

“疯子！你他妈的简直就是个疯子！”

意识到眼前这名男性根本不是在开玩笑，而是真的敢对第一家族动手，崔尔主母终于再也无法保持镇定。

同样的，她也意识到自己犯了一个巨大的错误，那就是不应该以这种“兴师问罪”的姿态来逼迫左思。

这样得到的结果只会适得其反。

“疯子？被你这么称呼还真是充满了讽刺。现在请麻烦正面回答我之前的问题，班瑞家族想要与我为敌吗？”

左思迈步走到近前，突然毫无征兆的抬起手一把抓住崔尔主母的脖子，凭借高达三十一点的力量属性，将其像小鸡仔一样硬生生举到双脚离地。

“呜呜呜呜呜！”

在那宛如铁钳一样的手指禁锢下，崔尔主母瞬间陷入了窒息，脸上原本健康的黝黑色皮肤瞬间变得有些发紫、发青，眼球更是疯狂外突，就好像随时都有可能掉出来一样。

她想要尝试着释放神术，但是却不知道为什么失败了。

试图激活佩戴的魔法物品，同样也没有任何反应。

最终，在大脑严重缺氧的情况下，这位魔索布莱城第一家族的领导者身体竟然开始慢慢变得僵硬，挣扎也开始变得越来越无力。

明眼人都能看得出，她很快就要被活活掐死了。

就在这千钧一发之际！ 伊沃奈·班瑞突然凭空出现，用略带无奈的语气打断道：“够了！放开她吧！真不敢相信，这样的蠢货居然是我的女儿。”

“啊！你终于肯露面了。我还以为要杀光这些班瑞家族的人，你才会出来收拾残局呢。”

左思一边说着，一边松开了快要被自己掐死的崔尔主母。

后者砰地一声摔倒在地上，捂着脖子上那个被巨大力量压迫出来的手印大口大口吸入新鲜空气，并且时不时的剧烈咳嗽。

此时此刻，她再也没有半点之前高傲的姿态，只剩下对于眼前这个疯子深深的恐惧。

就在崔尔主母挣扎着想要从地上爬起来的时候，突然看到一个身影出现在自己面前，轮起胳膊就是一个大嘴巴。

啪！ 伴随着清脆的响声，她的脑袋瞬间不受控制向右侧偏斜，并且感觉左边的脸火辣辣的疼，并且在不到十几秒的时间内就高高的肿了起来。

震惊！

房间内所有班瑞家族的成员都愣住了，有点不敢相信自己的眼睛。

但打人的伊沃奈·班瑞却始终保持着淡定，猛地抡起另外一条胳膊又狠狠的抽了右边的脸。

啪！ 这一次比上一次打的还要狠，一颗牙竟然从崔尔主母的嘴里飞了出去。

在接下来的一分钟时间内，这位看起来还有些年幼的黑暗精灵美少女左右开弓，直接把对方抽成了猪头。

一直到崔尔主母的意识都开始有些恍惚，她这才停下来一脚揣在其肚子上，用一种恨铁不成钢的语气训斥道：“白痴！你知道自己刚才都干了些什么吗？你差点把整个班瑞家族都给葬送了！我都已经给了你那么多的暗示，可到头来你非但没有抓住机会，反而主动招惹祸端。”

“他明明只是个低贱的男性！而且还亵渎罗丝神后！”崔尔主母声嘶力竭的为自己争辩道。

“看，这就是我最担心的，你根本不懂、也无法正确理解女神的意图。记住，我愚蠢的女儿，永远不要妄图揣测罗丝神后的心思，而是要乖乖服从她的安排和旨意。那些喜欢自作聪明的人，永远是死的最快的。现在，带上家族的人滚回去，别再掺和这件事情了。”

说罢，伊沃奈拽着崔尔主母的头发，将其像垃圾一样推开门丢了出去。

剩下那些班瑞家族的人见状，也根本不敢留在这里，纷纷趁机逃了出去。

没过一会儿功夫，他们就带着那些黑暗精灵士兵返回了老巢，只留下一脸懵逼根本搞不清楚状况的丽芮尔。

“你好，崔斯特·杜垩登，很高兴能够再次见到你。知道吗？自从上次见面之后，我每天脑子里都是你的身影，就连做梦都不例外。”

送走了崔尔主母一行人之后，伊沃奈并没有立刻与左思对话，而是面带娇羞的开始主动向游侠表白。

她的这种行为，瞬间给崔斯特整不会了，立马用不是很确定的语气问：“我们以前见过吗？”

“难道你忘了，你的矮人朋友可是用斧头直接劈开了我的脑袋呢。”伊沃奈轻轻敲了敲自己的额头。

由于这个位置正是当初秘银厅国王布鲁诺挥舞斧头砍中的地方，所以崔斯特一下子就回想起了当时的画面，脸上顿时浮现出难以置信的惊骇表情。

“你……你是班瑞主母？！”

“嗯，没错。不过你没有必要感到害怕，因为我已经不是之前的我了，眼下只是一名普通的黑暗精灵少女。而且……我发现自己爱上你了。”

说着，伊沃奈径直走到崔斯特的面前，伸出双手用十分温柔的动作抚摸游侠的脸颊。

就在她踮起脚尖试图去亲吻后者的嘴唇时，崔斯特终于清醒过来赶忙后退了两步，眼神中充满了慌乱跟恐惧。

估计就是当初面对巨龙的时候，都没有现在这么紧张。

可伊沃奈显然不想就这么轻易放弃，迈步继续向前逼近，想要强吻这个让自己日思夜想都渴望得到的男性。

正当崔斯特被逼近墙角退无可退的时候，左思终于忍不住用力咳嗽了一声。

“咳！不好意思打断你们一下，现在好像不是做这种事情的时候吧？”

“该死！你是故意的，对不对？”

眼见马上就要得手的伊沃奈瞬间转过身怒目而视。

相比之下，崔斯特则像是找到救星，赶忙一溜烟跑过来躲在左思身后，满脸都是心有余悸的表情。

毕竟他的感情一直都非常单纯，哪里经历过这种被疯狂倒追的情况。

尤其对方还曾经是个极为可怕的敌人。

左思无疑注意到了黑暗精灵游侠眼睛里一闪而逝的惊恐，抿起嘴角笑着说道：“就算我是故意的又能怎么样？你可能还不知道吧？崔斯特在地表冒险的这些年，早就已经找到了自己的真爱，你是没有任何机会的。”

“什么？真的吗？”

伊沃奈摆出一副伤心欲绝的模样盯着游侠。

至于有多少是真情流露，又有多少是演技，那就不得而知了。

“没错，是真的。她叫做凯蒂·布莉儿，是个人类。”崔斯特赶忙给出肯定答复。

从那急迫的反应不难看出，他一点也不想跟这位拥有少女外表的班瑞家族老主母有任何瓜葛。

听到这句话的瞬间，伊沃奈眼泪立刻像断线的风筝顺着眼角跟脸颊流了下来，勉强挤出一丝笑容说道：“好吧，既然你找到了自己的真爱，那我只有送上祝福。不过我们还可以成为朋友，对吗？”

“当然！只要你不再做邪恶的事情，不跟我和我的朋友为敌，我们就可以成为朋友。”崔斯特下意识的做出回应。

“那你能给我一个拥抱吗？就像朋友那样？”

伊沃奈张开双臂提出了一个小小的要求。

崔斯特显然不是一个硬心肠的人，在纠结了片刻之后，还是走上前给了对方一个礼貌性的拥抱。

等两人分开之后，左思这才举起那本被摆放在桌子上的书询问：“如果我没记错的话，班瑞家族应该在魔索布莱城建立的时候就已经存在了，对吧？”

“嗯，没错。如果你想知道关于真菌森林的秘密，问我算是问对人了。”

Ivonay, who had just received a hug from his "idol", was obviously in a very good mood, with a smile of happiness and satisfaction on his face.

"Who is the unknown existence that this book records fighting against Fungus Lady Zugmoi? Is it the Spider Goddess Rose?" Zuo Si continued to ask.

As far as he knew, both Lady Fungus and Rose were desperately fighting for control and influence over the Underdark.

For a long time, at least before Rose became a powerful god and separated her kingdom from the bottomless abyss, they were enemies.

Especially after the end of several Crown Wars, the dark elves collectively settled into the Underdark. This period of time was when Rose and Lady Fungus fought the most fiercely.

Coupled with the fact that this book full of crazy words is treasured in the Spider Academy, it is hard not to have some associations.

It turned out that Zuo Si's guess was correct.

Ivone admitted bluntly, "Yes. The Fungus Forest in the Northern Underdark today is the battlefield where the goddess Rose and the Lady of Fungus fought in the past."

"So what does the diamond mark at the end of this book mean?"

Zuo Si quickly turned the book in his hand to the last page, revealing the slightly distorted pattern.

Ivone took just one look and immediately asked, "Have you heard of the Spore Gate?"

"Spore Gate?"

Zuo Si frowned subconsciously, apparently hearing this word for the first time.

Ivonay nodded seriously: "Yes, it is the Spore Gate.

This is the unique ability of Lady Fungus Zugmoy, which spreads a kind of hyphae that is invisible to the naked eye to a large area of ​​surrounding soil, trees, and rocks, eventually forming a large and intricate network.

This thing allows Zugmoi to move freely within the area covered by the mycelium, and the speed is so fast that it seems like using teleportation magic.

The diamond-shaped emblem you see refers to the Spore Gate.

After defeating Lady Fungus, Goddess Rose left part of her body permanently in the material plane, and it remains in the form of spore gates in the mycelium buried deep underground..."

"Wait!" Zuo Si obviously realized something and interrupted immediately. "Don't tell me that the current fungal forest is formed by the continuous expansion of this part of the demon lord's body?"

"That's right! In the deepest part of the fungus forest, a large and terrifying mycelium network has been formed. It is the remaining body of Mrs. Fungus. However, this part of the body is not under the control of consciousness, so it has been peaceful for many years. However, more than ten years ago, the arrival of a human changed everything."

Ivone had obviously received a lot of information from Rose, and now he revealed it all without hiding anything.

You don't need to ask to know that this was also instructed by the Spider Goddess.

"Could it be that this human is named Angel Duxin, and is also a great druid?" Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

He finally realized the motive and truth behind Angel Poisoncore's abandonment of Talona and his conversion to Lady Fungus.

This crazy druid actually wanted to seize the part of the demon lord's body that remained in the material world, and then complete an unprecedented life transformation, allowing himself to merge with the entire fungal forest and eventually become a new god of nature.

Unfortunately, Angel Duxin's plan had already been discovered by the spider goddess Rose.

Now, Rose wants to use Zuo Si to eliminate this potential threat.

After all, she had long regarded the Underdark as her own backyard, and would never allow a new god to snatch away her faith and influence.

Ivone smiled bitterly and spread his hands. "Unfortunately, you guessed right again. Right now, this archdruid is trying to merge with the mycelial network. Once he succeeds, the entire fungal forest will immediately come alive and expand madly in all directions until the entire Underdark is covered with fungal spores."

"So...what kind of help can your goddess give me in this operation?" Zuo Si asked meaningfully.

"Isn't it enough to capture Angel Poison Core and obtain part of the demon lord's body?" Ivone blinked innocently.

Zuo Si sneered and responded, “Of course it’s not enough.

If Angel Duxin's plan succeeds, then I will be facing a living god of nature.

I would never take the risk of doing something like this where the effort and reward are not proportional.

Don't forget, I have the ability to escape at any time.

But the dark elf city near the fungal forest cannot escape.

Especially the city of Menzoberranzan, which will surely be reduced to ruins in this catastrophe.

So let your goddess come out and talk to me in person."

As the last word came out of his mouth, Ivonay's body suddenly tensed up and twitched continuously as if he was hit by some strong electric current.

Immediately afterwards, her eyes shone with a divine majesty that could not be described in words, while at the same time emitting a chilling and deep evil from within...

(End of this chapter)
