As the powerful divine power began to spread throughout the room, almost all the dark elves nearby could no longer withstand the oppressive force and fell to the ground, losing consciousness.
Lirael, who was closer, couldn't even hold on for a second and didn't even realize what was happening.
In comparison, Trist was obviously much stronger. At least he did not faint. Instead, his eyes revealed deep fear and terror.
He has always held a strong hatred for the goddess who caused the corruption, evil, cruelty and chaos of the dark elves.
Coupled with the death of his father Zaknafein, the ranger became hostile to Rose, who almost monopolized the dark elf faith.
However, the Spider Goddess's coming this time was obviously not for Trist, the "rebellious" child.
She controlled Ivonai's body and circled around Zuo Si. Then she asked in a playful tone, "Do you know how the gods view you now?"
"A spoiler?"
There was a strong sense of uncertainty in Zuo Si's tone.
To be honest, he was now very curious about how the gods of Faerun viewed him.
After all, in the Pantheon, he directly and unceremoniously challenged the authority and bottom line of the gods, and in the most naked and undisguised way of threat.
"Troublemaker? Haha, you underestimate yourself.
In the eyes of many gods, you are actually an extremely dangerous destroyer, ignoring the balance between good and evil, chaos and order, and doing whatever you want.
Except for those gods with whom you have close dealings, many gods actually regard you as a potential threat.
That’s why I don’t want to have too much contact with you.”
Rose said meaningfully.
"But now you need my help to solve the crisis brewing in the fungal forest, don't you?" Zuo Si asked with a smile.
Rose nodded gently. "Yes! Ever since the fierce battle for control and influence over the Underdark thousands of years ago, the remaining parts of Fungus Lady Zugmoi have been a huge threat.
At the beginning, the fungal forest based on underground mycelium was only about ten kilometers at most.
But as time goes by, it is expanding and getting bigger.
If the druid's crazy plan succeeds, the entire Underdark will be covered in spreading fungal spores.
By then, in addition to the myconids, the dark elves, gray dwarves, and other races in the underground world will all face a catastrophe. "
"Then why don't you solve this little trouble yourself? Angel Duxin should not have completely merged with the fungal forest yet, let alone become the god of nature. As a goddess of medium divine power, it should not be difficult for you to send down a combat incarnation to kill him, right?" Zuo Si asked calmly.
"Do you think I don't want to? If I descend into the battle incarnation, both Fungus Lady Zuggmoi and my unfilial daughter will take action immediately. Especially Eilistraee, with the entire elven pantheon standing behind her. Even I have to be careful when dealing with her."
When Rose said this, her tone was filled with strong anger, resentment and hatred.
She was obviously well aware that the dark maiden Eilistraee was a chess piece pushed forward by her former husband, Corellon, the current Lord of the Surface Elves, to ensure that she would never be able to truly and completely monopolize the faith of the entire Dark Elf race.
After all, as long as Eilistraee exists, the dark elves who are tired of evil and yearn for goodness will always have a so-called path to "salvation."
And this is precisely the most critical reason why the Spider Goddess has been trapped in the medium divine power and cannot be promoted to a powerful divine power.
In fact, Rose’s real enemy has never been outside, but her daughter who has been secretly supported by the entire elven pantheon.
However, Zuo Si was obviously not interested in the messy feuds of the Elven God System that had lasted for more than 10,000 years. He just smiled and responded: "So when you can't do it yourself, you want to use me to eliminate the threat?"
Rose admitted straightforwardly, "That's right! First of all, you are powerful enough and have mastered a lot of knowledge, magic, and technology brought back from other planes and worlds. Otherwise, the new goddess of magic would not have chosen you as her elect.
Secondly, His Majesty Io, the God above all gods, has granted you the same status as the gods, which means that you have changed from a chess piece to a chess player, and are qualified to sit down with the gods and play this game.
Last but not least, those terrifying creatures called Eldrazi Titans make most gods dare not easily become your enemy.
Combining the above three points, there is no one in the world more suitable than you. "
"Then what benefits can I get from it?" Zuo Si asked directly.
"Wasn't Angel Duxin the original target of your trip?" Rose suddenly raised the corners of her mouth and smiled.
Zuo Si soon smiled in a similar way: "No, I think you seem to have misunderstood something. Angel Duxin was indeed one of my original targets, but he was not the only choice. And I don't care at all about the lives of all the races living in the Underdark, including the Dark Elves."
Hearing this, Rose was not angry at all, but laughed even harder.
"Hahahaha! You really didn't disappoint me!"
"What do you mean? Cruelty? Or callousness?" Zuo Si asked with a smile.
Rose shook her head gently. “Neither. It’s the deep evil that emanates from your soul and mind.
Although in many cases you appear to be in a neutral or even good camp on the surface, in fact you have already realized the nature of evil.
The true highest level of evil is not simply to display cruelty, coldness, and ruthlessness, but to make others feel that it is justice, hope, and the only way out.
It's a pity that although you are evil, you are not chaotic, but rather tend to be lawful. Otherwise, we should get along very well.
Tell me, what do I need to pay for you to help eliminate the hidden danger of Angel Duxin?"
"Let me think about it..."
Zuo Si stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he lowered his voice and whispered something in the other person's ear.
"make a deal!"
Rose had no intention of bargaining and agreed directly.
In this way, the two men reached an unknown deal in private.
Afterwards, Zuo Si immediately woke up Vinar and asked her to take her former subordinates and the recently recruited dark elves, and leave the city of Menzoberranzan as quickly as possible and enter the Underdark.
Since there was a huge underground lake between the city of Menzoberranzan and the Fungal Forest, the group could only move south along the lakeshore.
After traveling for more than ten hours, the team finally stopped to rest in a place full of stalagmites.
At this moment, Zuo Si had already lifted the magic effect of the transformation and restored his original human form.
This made the dark elf refugees who had recently been recruited into the team feel a little uncomfortable.
You must know that in the eyes of traditional dark elves, all creatures in the surface world are lowly.
Especially for a race like humans who have neither spell-like abilities nor any magic resistance or darkvision, even among slaves they are only slightly stronger than goblins.
They simply couldn't understand why a noble woman like Venar would obey a lowly human male.
But Lirael's reaction was exactly the opposite.
After the dark elf girl woke up and learned that Zuo Si was not a dark elf but a surface human, she kept asking questions along the way. Her strong curiosity was really a headache.
"Thoth, is the surface world really like what is described in the scriptures, where people have to endure the painful burning of a huge fireball every day?" Lirael asked with blinking eyes.
"Well, although the description is a little distorted and exaggerated, it is actually true. The so-called huge fireball is actually the sun, which brings light and heat to the entire surface world. It is also indispensable for the growth of various plants and animals. Most surface creatures have long adapted to such an environment, so they do not feel pain, but feel very comfortable instead."
Zuo Si gave the explanation in the most understandable way possible.
Of course, he had no idea whether the other party could understand it.
Because Rose and her priestesses instilled so many lies into the entire dark elf society that most dark elves firmly believed that the surface world was a place shrouded in pain and despair.
There, a huge fireball rises from the horizon every day, severely burning the creatures living on the surface, causing them to suffer unspeakable torture day after day.
It was under the guidance of Queen Lolth that the dark elves escaped from the desperate surface world and came to live in the safer and more comfortable Underdark.
Little do they know that the so-called burning feeling can only be experienced by the drow who have lived in the underdark for many years and have completely adapted to the dark environment.
Especially when the sunlight shines on the dark skin, the dark elves will feel unprecedented pain and weakness.
Most dark elves who come to the surface world for the first time often need several weeks or even years of adaptation before they can barely come out during the day.
Some people say that this is a curse collectively cast down by the elven gods when the dark elves and Rose sank into the Underdark together.
Some people also say that this is a deliberate trick played by the spider goddess Rose in order to better control the dark elves.
Only in this way can they be forever isolated from the outside world, forming a relatively closed and isolated environment, so that they cannot know the names of other gods and can only serve themselves wholeheartedly.
As for what the truth is, it has long been buried by ten thousand years.
"Then the surface world must be very bright?" Lirael continued to ask curiously.
Zuo Si patiently replied, "It is indeed very bright during the day. Especially for dark elves, if they are exposed to the midday sun for the first time without any protection, their eyes are very likely to be blinded. Drizzt and Venar both have very profound experience in this regard, you can go and ask them."
Without saying a word, Lirael immediately left Zuo Si and ran to Vinar, and began to ask about the other party's feelings about his first experience of daytime on the surface world.
Seeing this girl always looking energetic and carefree, Drizzt, who was sitting next to her to rest, couldn't help but sigh: "I can't believe that she grew up in an environment like Menzoberranzan, but she is not tainted by the evil and cruelty of the dark elves at all."
"This is all thanks to the chief wizard. You may not believe it, but Gongfu Banrui is actually very doting on his daughter. He even gives her considerable freedom and choice within his ability." Zuo Si explained casually.
"According to what you said, Gromph should be a good father?" A surprised expression appeared on Trist's face.
Because there is usually no such thing as family affection in the dark elf society.
"He is indeed a good father when it comes to his daughters. But when it comes to his sons who are left to fend for themselves, it's as if he doesn't exist as a father at all." Zuo Si couldn't help but complain.
"Gomph Baenre only recognizes daughters?"
Drizzt opened his mouth in disbelief.
Zuo Si nodded bluntly: "That's right! Otherwise, how do you think the Banrui family has such a serious imbalance in the ratio of men to women? They have more than sixty female priests, but only sixteen male members."
Unlike the patriarchal society that prefers to have sons, the matriarchal dark elves obviously prefer to have daughters.
After all, the number of priestesses in a noble family is often the decisive force that plays a key role in its internal struggles.
However, in Zuo Si's opinion, being a priest of the spider goddess Rose is a bit dangerous.
This chaotic evil goddess often withholds magic from priestesses of any clan that crosses her.
This is also why those families that have fallen out of favor are always worried that other families will suddenly come knocking on their door.
Without the magic bestowed by the gods, the priest basically became a castrated second-rate warrior, unable to defeat those fully armed warriors in hand-to-hand combat.
What's more, other families' soldiers are blessed with magical powers, but you are not, so your family's soldiers will soon be defeated or even lay down their weapons and surrender.
"Okay, I take back what I said before. Gonfu Baenre is not a good father at all. By the way, what did you ask of Queen Rose before, and why did she agree to it so readily?" Drizzt asked cautiously.
"Nothing. I just asked for a little compensation that I deserved, and by the way, I set Lirael's soul free." Zuo Si gave a half-truthful answer.
Trist was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked: "Freedom? You mean..."
"Ah! Just as you thought, Lirael can now freely choose her future without having to worry about being hunted endlessly."
While saying this, Zuo Si glanced at the dark elf girl not far away with the corner of his eye, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
No doubt this was his reward for Lirael's help in finding information about the fungal forest.
You have to know that if a dark elf wants to change his lifestyle, it is not simply a matter of running to the surface, but he also has to face the endless hunting of his compatriots and even relatives.
If a priestess abandons her faith in Lolth and serves other gods, then this vindictive and petty goddess may send her own "maidens", a monster called a waxmelt, to execute the "traitor".
Of course, Drizzt knew what it meant for a dark elf to abandon tradition, and he immediately showed a relieved expression.
Just as he was about to say something, a scout who had been riding a giant lizard to investigate suddenly ran back at an extremely fast speed, jumped off his mount, and reported in a very urgent tone: "Master, I found a large mushroom forest five kilometers ahead."
"What? Say it again!" Zuo Si's expression changed slightly.
According to the "latest" map drawn by the city of Menzoberranzan more than 30 years ago, this huge underground lake has always been surrounded by large areas of moss, making it one of the most important pastures for the dark elves. How could there be a large mushroom forest here?
unless……
Unless something happened in the fungal forest, causing these fungal spores to expand around at a very fast speed.
"I found a large mushroom forest ahead. Well... it seems to have merged with the fungus forest in the south. In addition, I also noticed many weird-looking mushroom people."
The scout hastened to give a detailed account of what he had seen.
"Damn! This doesn't sound good."
Trist knew the truth hidden in the fungal forest, so he immediately became nervous.
"It's more than not good. If I'm not mistaken, Angel Poison Core should have found a way to successfully control the underground mycelium network."
After saying that, Zuo Si stood up and prepared to go to the front to confirm the situation with his own eyes.
"I'll go with you!"
Drizzt hurriedly took two sips of water to moisten his throat, then stood up and followed closely.
Led by the scout, the two soon saw a large underground forest composed of giant mushrooms two or three meters high on the south side of the lakeshore.
Most of the mushrooms looked very new and must have grown recently.
Otherwise, mushrooms of this variety would only take a few years to grow to seven or eight meters or even more than ten meters high.
Hundreds of mushroom people were now lying on the ground, scattering some crushed spores along the lakeshore. Wherever they passed, a large area of colorful mushrooms would immediately grow.
"My God! These... these myconids are expanding the area of the fungal forest by sowing seeds?" Drizzt exclaimed in shock.
When he escaped from the city of Menzoberranzan, he lived with a group of myconid neighbors for a period of time and knew a lot about the habits of these kind and intelligent creatures.
Generally speaking, myconids grow and manage fungi near their habitats and use them as their main food source.
But this behavior of gathering together in the hundreds and massively expanding the area of the fungal forest is clearly not in line with the tradition they have always maintained.
What's more, the group of mushroom people in front of him looked very strange. Not only did they have a large number of dark red spots growing on their bodies, but they also had extremely ferocious expressions.
Once it detects an invasion by other creatures, it will immediately rush forward and spit out a large number of deadly spores to kill them mercilessly.
This is in stark contrast to the normal friendliness and hospitality of myconids.
"Their thoughts and consciousness have been twisted and corrupted by some more powerful evil force!"
"Who can distort the will and thoughts of so many fungus people at once? I'm afraid even legendary magic can't do it?" Trist frowned subconsciously.
Zuo Si answered without hesitation: "Of course it is the part of the body of Fungus Lady Zugmoi that was left in the material world. Although this demon lord is not a god, she has the ability to control all fungi and fungal creatures. Especially the fungus people, they have no way to resist Zugmoi's power and will easily fall at her feet."
"You mean, that evil druid has already gotten what he wanted?" Drizzt asked after taking a deep breath.
“It’s not clear whether he has really got all of it, but he has definitely got some of it. Be prepared, we may have to fight a real war.”
As he spoke, Zuo Si raised his arm and held up the wand in his hand.
"War? My God! You don't want to..."
Drizzt obviously realized something and immediately stared with wide eyes at the hundreds of mushroom people not far away.
"You guessed it right! These corrupted myconids must not be left here, otherwise they will do their best to spread the fungal spores to every corner of the Underdark. In addition, we must stop the expansion of the fungal forest and burn all these mushrooms to ashes."
As the last word came out of his mouth, Zuo Si waved his wand and cast Fierce Fire.
First, a ball of fire the size of a football appeared out of nowhere above the mushroom man's head, and then this thing quickly devoured the giant mushrooms around it to strengthen itself.
还没等蕈人反应过来发生了什么,它们身后大片的真菌森林便已经被恐怖的橘红色火焰所吞噬。
由于厉火的特性就是会燃烧一切可以燃烧的东西来不停壮大自己,所以火势很快便蔓延开来,将不少蕈人卷入其中活生生的烧死。
伴随着火势越来越大,并且不断向真菌森林内部延伸,所有幸存的蕈人立刻像疯了一样,一股脑涌向湖边大口大口的喝水,然后转身跑回去将喝下的水再反吐出来,试图扑灭这足以毁灭一切的烈焰。
如果换成是普通的火灾,或许还真会被它们这种舍生忘死的精神,以及自身强大的储水能力扑灭。
但问题是厉火并不是普通的火,而是一种几乎无法用正常手段扑灭的魔法火焰。
只要周围还有一丁点可燃物,它就会源源不断的壮大自身。
结果没过一会儿功夫,几百名蕈人就这样彻底葬身火海从这个世界上消失了。
看着那些被烧焦的蕈人尸体,还有迎面扑来的热浪与远处刺眼无比的火光,黑暗精灵斥候脸上顿时浮现出了敬畏之色。
尽管他并不清楚左思释放了什么法术,但眼前那滔天的火光已经足以证明该魔法的威力有多么惊人。
至于崔斯特则用略带颤抖的声音说道:“你这个疯子!该不会是想要一把火直接把整个真菌森林都烧光吧?”
“烧光?如果真菌夫人祖格莫伊身体的一部分真那么容易被消灭就好了。我放火只是想要试探一下安杰尔·毒芯的反应,顺便开辟出一条安全的通道。走吧,让我们去见见这位想要成为自然之神的大德鲁伊。”
说罢,左思给自己加持了一个提高火焰抗性的法术,然后踩着地上的余烬追逐厉火燃烧的轨迹前进。
因为幽暗地域并不像地表世界,无论走到什么地方都有取之不尽用之不竭的可燃物,大部分都是不可燃的石头,所以也不用担心厉火会失控,直接把整个北幽暗地域都给烧了。
事实证明,他的推测是正确的。
厉火只烧光了真菌森林外围扩张出来的那一部分之后,很快便遭到了大量从地下涌出菌丝的包围。
这些菌丝与普通的巨型蘑菇不同,根本不受厉火的影响,迅速将四处蔓延的火势分割包围,最终将其彻底与可燃物跟空气隔绝。
等做完这一切,大量菌丝迅速汇聚到一起,慢慢构建成一个人类的外形。
差不多两三分钟左右,一名看上去四十岁上下,留着黑色头发和短须的中年男人便出现在了左思的面前,用一种居高临下的语气质问道:“刚才那些难以被熄灭的魔法火焰是你放的?”
“嗯,没错,就是我放的。看来你就是安杰尔·毒芯了,对吧?”
左思饶有兴致上下打量着这个野心勃勃的大德鲁伊,想要搞清楚对方目前的生命状态。
不得不说,在费伦这片神奇的土地上,永远都不缺乏想要打破限制成为神明的凡人。
艾瑞尼卡斯是这样,眼前这位安杰尔·毒芯也是这样。
他们甚至根本不了解神的本质,总觉得成为神之后就等同于拥有了强大的力量,可以想干什么就干什么。
殊不知,当成为不朽神明的那一刻,自己身上的凡性就会慢慢退去,并且获得至少一个同为神明的敌人,陷入永恒的争斗之中无法自拔。
更何况诸神头顶上还有一个掌握着至高权柄的神上之神艾欧。
“哦?你认得我?”安杰尔·毒芯眼睛里闪过一丝惊讶。
因为他已经隐姓埋名在真菌森林里居住了许多年,还以为外界早就已经忘记了自己的存在。
左思略微点了点头:“当然认得。首先自我介绍一下,我叫做索斯,是剧毒与疾病女神塔洛娜的选民,特地从地表世界前来幽暗地域寻找你的踪迹。”
“塔洛娜的选民?!”安杰尔·毒芯脸色微微一变。“这么说你是来找麻烦的?”
“奉女神的委托,我要来跟你算一笔陈年旧账。包括刚才放火烧真菌森林,都是为了把你引出来。”左思意味深长的回答道。
安杰尔·毒芯沉默了片刻之后,立马发出一阵肆无忌惮的狂笑:“哈哈哈哈!陈年旧账?
看来塔洛娜还在记恨我当初抛弃她的事情。
真是为睚眦必报的小气女神,不是吗?
不过她以为派一名年轻的选民过来就能把我抓回去是不是太天真了一点? 你知道我现在拥有怎样的力量么?”
伴随着最后一个字脱口而出,这位大德鲁伊瞬间抬起双手做了一个抓握的动作。
下一秒……
轰!!!!!!! 两个由特殊菌丝构成的巨型巴掌猛然间从地下窜出,以迅雷不及演的速度抓向左思,速度之快简直令人匪夷所思。
不过很可惜,被左思直接施展一个幻影移形躲开了。
可安杰尔·毒芯显然并不打算就这么轻易放过他,马上又大手一挥,从地下召唤出更多的菌丝构成一张巨大无比的网,铺天盖地的卷了过去。
原本跟在左思身后的黑暗精灵斥候见状,连一秒钟都没有犹豫,直接纵深一跃跳上坐骑便掉头狂奔。
只可惜,他显然低估了菌丝翻滚的速度。
结果还没跑出四十米,就被尾随而来的菌丝直接卷了进去。
瞬间!
连人带坐骑一起被肉眼几乎无法分辨的细小网格活生生挤压成一堆混杂着血浆、肉块和碎骨头的混合物。
由于死亡来临的是如此突然且迅速,至于黑暗精灵斥候连惨叫都没来得及发出就死透了。
“哈哈哈哈!看到了吗?这就是我现在所拥有的力量!整个真菌森林都在我的控制之下!用不了多久我就会成为自然之神,用孢子覆盖整个幽暗地域。”安杰尔·毒芯高举双手发出了宣告。
就在他自以为胜券在握的刹那,一团巨大的黑影突然从一株巨大的伞状蘑菇顶端扑了一下来,张开血盆大口就狠狠地咬了下去。
不用问也知道,这团黑影就是陪伴崔斯特时间最长、并且屡立战功的动物伙伴——黑豹关海法。
要知道关海法可不是普通的动物,而是来自星界的生物,在物质世界根本不会真正死亡。
一旦受伤过重,就会被强行遣返回去,等伤势痊愈之后就又能再次召唤。
既然黑豹在这里,那游侠自然也不会离得太远。
当关海法偷袭得手的刹那,崔斯特便从自己的藏身之所冲了出来,挥舞两柄泛着寒光的弯刀迅速切入侧面,发动狂风骤雨般的攻击。
才眨眼功夫就把安杰尔·毒芯砍得面目全非,数不清的菌丝四散飞溅,连人类的形态都无法维持了。
可遗憾的是,这种纯粹的物理攻击对于已经掌握并控制了真菌夫人一部分身体的大德鲁伊来说根本没有任何用处。
很快,安杰尔·毒芯就在距离崔斯特二十米之外的地方重新聚集菌丝构建起了自己的身体,并且冷笑着嘲讽道:“愚蠢的黑暗精灵,你宠物的尖牙利爪和锋利的弯刀对我造不成半点威胁。在这片真菌森林之内,我就是永生不死的神。”
话音未落!
那些被崔斯特砍碎的菌丝,瞬间被地下涌出的新菌丝串联到一起形成好几张网,直接把崔斯特给罩在了里边。
这一次,无论是关海法那锋利的牙齿,还是游侠手上两柄锋利的魔法弯刀,都不能在菌丝网上撕开一道口子。
确切地说,是砍上去之后还没等扩大裂口,菌丝就仿佛有生命和意识一样自动重新连接到一起。
最终,巨大的网越收越紧、越收越紧,直接把一人一豹困成了粽子。
很显然,对于一名完全没有施法能力的战士而言,像现在这种状态根本无能为力。
所以挣扎了几分钟发现无效之后,崔斯特便停止了这种白白浪费体力的行为,打算看看左思是否能有什么好办法。
“你的帮手完蛋了,现在该轮到你了。”
安杰尔·毒芯这个时候也将目光投向了左思。
在他看来,面前这个塔洛娜的选民可比区区一名黑暗精灵战士危险多了。
尤其是那些致命的病毒、细菌和毒素,有不少都能对真菌森林产生威胁。
“那就来试试吧!”
左思掌心此时已经多出了好几张卡牌,正式进入到战斗状态。
安杰尔·毒芯二话不说,立刻控制埋藏在地下的菌丝,以极快速度构建出两条粗壮无比的触须,然后便开始操控它们率先发起了进攻。
他的目的非常简单,那就是用最原始、最暴力的方式把左思活生生的撕成碎片。
为此不惜在触手上附着了大量阴险恶毒的能力。
尤其是末端,竟然还能在接触目标刹那释放白色电光。
"You're not going to use divine arts? Pure physical attacks like this are useless to me."
While speaking, Zuo Si directly activated the first biological card in his hand.
moment!
A seismic elephant the size of an entire football field was summoned from the plane of Zendikar.
Its enormous body and nearly unrivaled strength immediately stunned Angel Duxin.
The two giant tentacles controlled by the latter were not even a rope to the Earthshaker. They were directly wrapped around by its nose and then pulled apart with just a slight force.
But that's not all! The prehistoric beast first let out a loud howl, then immediately raised its front legs and stomped hard on the ground.
Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Along with a deafening roar and violent tremors, a huge deep pit was instantly created on the ground.
Angel Poison Core's ability was obviously affected by this kick. The mycelium web that had just been woven halfway lost control in an instant and fell directly to the ground.
Seeing this, Zuo Si couldn't help but laugh and teased, "All your power comes from the mycelium network hidden under the ground. This means that if I destroy the mycelium network in advance, you won't be able to use your abilities normally in this area. Finally, let me correct you, you are not a god yet, at least not yet."
"Where did you summon this giant beast? How come I have never heard of such a giant elephant in Faerun?"
Angel Duxin stared at the Earthshaker with fearful eyes.
As an archdruid, he naturally couldn't be unaware of the terrifying power that a creature of this size could unleash.
In particular, the trampling released by raising the front legs instantly destroyed the mycelium network hidden under the surrounding ground.
If it happens a few more times, the network that has been painstakingly built to cover the entire fungal forest will be completely destroyed.
"Just because it doesn't exist in Faerun doesn't mean it doesn't exist in other time and space. Now, come and feel the ultimate power."
After saying this, Zuo Si decisively gave the Earth-Handing Elephant the order to attack.
The latter did not hesitate at all, and immediately began to jog and accelerate, smashing everything that blocked his progress along the way with an almost unmatched posture.
No matter whether this thing is a giant mushroom that is more than ten or twenty meters high, or a stalagmite and stalactite formed through thousands of years of accumulation.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Every time the Earthshaker elephant lands on the ground, it instantly triggers a small earthquake in the surrounding area.
This is also the origin of its name.
Although Angel Poison Core summoned a bunch of fungus people to release spores, he wanted to defeat this behemoth from the respiratory system and mental aspects.
Unfortunately, the Earthshaker's physique is so strong that even the dragon is like a younger brother compared to it.
The thick and resilient epidermis can ignore most physical attacks, and even inhaled spores have little effect.
There's no way around it, this is the advantage of being big.
Even if it is poison, it can eat two more spoonfuls than other smaller creatures.
In just a few minutes, Angel Duxin's body made of hyphae was crushed and trampled more than a dozen times, and the underground hyphae network within a radius of ten kilometers was almost trampled to pieces.
Seeing that the mycelium alone could not deal with the Earth-shaking Elephant, he finally gritted his teeth and released the first Nine-ring Divine Art [Implosion].
The next second...
Destructive resonance began to appear inside the Earth-Shaking Elephant's body. Large amounts of blood and flesh began to gush out of its mouth and nose. Its enormous body seemed like it would fall apart at any time.
You should know that [Implosion] can directly disintegrate a living being from within.
If a physical creature is hit, there is absolutely no chance of survival unless the caster's concentration is interrupted.
But Angel Poison Core's real body was obviously not here. He was just remotely controlling the mycelium to fight, so it was impossible for him to interrupt the spell.
Not to mention interrupting the spell, Zuo Si didn't even feel the energy gathering.
Apparently, this guy casts the spell from a long distance away and then transmits it through the mycelium network.
But even so, the Earth-Shaking Elephant still did not stop its charge.
He endured the severe pain and the magical resonance that was enough to tear his body apart, and waded through a passage leading to the deepest part of the fungal forest. Then he collapsed to the ground and breathed his last.
Just when Angel Duxin thought he had won, he suddenly saw another Earth-Shaking Elephant, which was even bigger than the previous one, appear beside the opponent.
"You don't think this is the end, do you? Believe me, the real show has just begun." Zuo Si grinned with a playful smile.
Through the Earth-Shaking Elephant just now, he has discovered the weakness of this mycelium, which is that it is difficult to resist the impact of a giant beast with amazing strength and physical attributes.
As he had just been to Zendikar, what he lacked the most right now was all kinds of gigantic summoned creatures...
(End of this chapter)
