This is the so-called magical power of the "leader". In addition to being able to restore their sanity, performing the strange rituals of the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult is also something that only the "leader" can do.
It’s not that other strange beasts have not imitated this behavior, but the humans on the city wall don’t seem to react to it.
No, it wasn't completely without reaction, at least the soldiers on the city wall had enough fun.
But because the beast that initiated the action was not Fran, the imagined feeding did not occur near the monsters.
Over time, the alien beasts strongly condemned this kind of free dancing behavior, and eventually no member dared to overstep the mark, and the burden fell on Fran.
Up to now, the advance team led by Fran had discovered traces of a swamp several kilometers ahead.
After hearing the news, Fran thought carefully about the conversation between Lin Qingliu and herself, and remembered that the other party did mention the swamp in the south of Hope City.
Not long ago, a small group of super-powered people tried to cross the swamp and go to a farther place. They were able to do so thanks to a super-powered person who could change his body freely.
But they did not go too deep. After visiting a settlement deep in the swamp, they returned the same way and returned to Hope City to report.
Thinking of this, Fran became more determined to explore further, but faced with this kind of swamp area, these exotic beasts actually had no way to deal with it.
As a last resort, Fran had to lead the team to move around the swamp. Even if they couldn't go deep into the swamp, it would always be good to mark the range.
However, it was this decision that led to an encounter between Fran and a group of wild beasts.
They were a group of irrational beasts, most of whom were idiots from the green cocoon. However, they seemed to be stamped with some kind of steel mark. They guarded the swamp in groups and formed an oasis-like area with the mycelium ecology there.
Faced with this situation, it is certainly not in Fran's character to flee in the face of danger. Fran, who has faced a super tide of beasts before, has no fluctuations in her heart about the current scene and begins to command the monsters under her command to attack this group of guys.
However, battles are always accompanied by various unexpected events. Both sides are very wary of the existence of swamps, but in the fierce fight, some strange beasts inevitably enter the areas where the sticky mud is located.
The substance, which resembles both swamp and asphalt, is very sticky and it is almost impossible to remove it once you get a little bit of it on you.
It would be fine if they could take off their clothes or shoes at any time like humans, but for these strange beasts, after half of their bodies were stuck, they couldn't just take off a layer of skin for no reason, and finally they could only be submerged in the sticky fluid with hatred.
Without having time to mourn for the loss of her subordinates, after discovering this trait, Fran immediately commanded the strange beasts to surround and drive away the enemy.
The fierce battle lasted all night. When the sun rose over the horizon, the strange beasts guarding here had disappeared from the surface of the swamp. Only the occasional floating bubbles still proved their existence.
Fran, who won the victory, was not as happy as she had imagined. She stood on the head of the left protector and looked at the oasis in the distance and the nearby swamp, and felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
"I will go there myself. You stay here and don't wander around. Be careful not to get killed."
After giving the order, Fran jumped off the head of the large monster and moved closer to the depths of the swamp.
Seeing this, all the monsters roared anxiously, and the few monsters that could use the team intranet to communicate also began to frantically @ their boss in the small group.
But Fran remained unmoved. As she continued to move forward, she could clearly feel the ground beneath her cat paws becoming increasingly sticky and soft.
But this didn't bother her.
If you look carefully at Lin Qingliu's account book, you will find that his expenses were particularly high for a period of time before Fran went out of the city to fight in the wild for the first time.
All of that information coins were used to collect various materials that could be obtained through normal channels, and then all of these things were fed to Fran to enrich her material library.
Faced with the increasingly dangerous environment, Fran entered a state of chaos. After a few seconds, she transformed into a smaller version of Wang Xiao's armor and walked out of the shadows.
But this is not enough. Under Fran's subjective construction, the material of this armor has changed significantly. The smooth and wide sole allows her to move freely on the swamp surface.
Even if you stay in the same place for a long time, you will inevitably be swallowed by the swamp, but Fran always keeps moving and collects enough samples in the process.
After smearing the sticky asphalt-like substance on the body of a lucky monster, Fran ordered it to go north and return to Hope City to hand in the substance on its body. At the same time, she also reported the matter to Lin Qingliu in her mind.
After finishing all this, Fran stopped looking at the swamp that ate animals without leaving any bones, and instead looked at the oasis formed by the gathering of mycelial life in the distance.
Why does mycelium have a separate stronghold here?
In other words, why is there no mycelium ecology near this swamp like in the forest, but only a small oasis and a group of vulnerable low-level monsters?
This place is quite far from Hope City, and the mycelium could easily extend its tentacles to this side, but “He” did not do so...
Fran, who had personally experienced that exploration with Wang Xiao, knew very well the horror of mycelium.
Those indescribable creatures have even evolved to the point where they can move at a relatively fast speed.
However, after a period of observation, these mycelium plants did not show any obvious reaction...
They are like... like a part of the original body that was abandoned. They have completed their growth and development here, but have not yet evolved to the same level as the original body of the mycelium will. Among them, the several plants that the mycelium mimics seem to be relatively ordinary and common, not a more comprehensive mixture...
Fran also took note of this incident and planned to report it to Lin Qingliu after drawing a map of the nearby area.
The Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult Legion, which had suffered some damage, bypassed the oasis and continued to advance along the edge of the swamp.
At the end of Fran's vision, there seemed to be a faintly visible, ramshackle house in the direction of the swamp, trying not to collapse.
Fran has already mapped out a route for her team's long journey.
They will first advance southward along the coast and swamps for about a hundred kilometers, and then begin to draw an arc with Hope City as the center. They must at least understand the terrain and landform distribution in this area before proceeding with the next action.
