Wu Xingyun, the creator of the "Crying Face Mushroom", felt a little guilty when he saw the mushroom grow one circle in ten minutes and two circles in twenty minutes. He was really afraid that the mushroom would eventually grow into a towering mushroom and then explode to kill all the people in the city.
But the other children were amazed and delighted to see this crying-face mushroom. This wasn't just any mushroom! It was a precious mushroom that could absorb negative energy!
Ultimately, the most deadly thing about this exiled city is the invisible and intangible "negative energy" that is difficult to resist. If Wang Xiao and others still felt that they could resist the negative energy in this city with their own willpower a day ago, then the various uncontrollable behaviors and thoughts from early morning to morning today made them understand the power of this city's "invisible killing".
Don't talk nonsense about resisting with your own willpower. Maybe there really are strong adventurers who rely on willpower alone to hold on to the end, but they must be extremely rare. The vast majority of people cannot resist.
As a human being, you will have uncontrollable negative thoughts.
That's not the same thing as fear.
Fear can be destroyed and killed at its source, and eliminated through various methods, but the negative emotions in people’s hearts can never be completely eliminated.
In addition to fear, anger, hatred, jealousy, and even love can become negative energies that cause harm and bondage.
So unless you are a machine that does not generate negative energy, in this city of exile, you will eventually exile yourself because of the ineliminable and accumulating negative emotions, or... choose to madly exile everything that is human.
This is almost an unsolvable city.
But now!!
They have mushrooms!!!
"Hurry up, let me take a closer look at this magical mushroom! Wow, this little mushroom is really unique. It looks like it's destined to grow wild in this city!"
Shang Chong circled around the pot of mushrooms and turned to look at Wu Xingyun. "Mushroom! Grow me another little mushroom! I'll find a flowerpot and hold it anywhere. Will the negative energy in this city be able to do nothing to me?"
Wu Xingyun hesitated a bit: "Are you sure you want to get another pot of mushrooms? But it grows a little too fast."
Shang Chong smiled and waved his hands: "What's the big deal if it grows fast? No matter how fast it grows, how big can it get? It's just a mushroom after all. It can only grow to two meters at most! I can hold it in my arms at two meters!"
"And if I can't carry them, can't I just plant the mushrooms right here in the city? This city is filled with negative energy, just like the dark, invisible dust everywhere. Mushrooms are like purifying plants. We can just plant them wherever we pass by and contribute to the city!"
"Also, even if this mushroom grows a lot, it only grows one circle every ten minutes, and in an hour it's only about the size of six palms. I can carry it around outside all day without any problem. Come on, give me a mushroom quickly. We have enough strength now to at least carry a mushroom as big as a tree. Don't worry!"
As Wu Xingyun listened, he felt that it made a lot of sense. He thought that his mushrooms were good mushrooms and should not grow so big that they covered the sky and blocked out the sun.
The most important thing is that even if it really grows like that... well, as long as the mushrooms don't explode on their own and no one takes the initiative to eat them, then his mushrooms won't be "deadly".
In this way, it is quite feasible to use mushrooms as portable purifiers and small green plants in the city.
Of course, he also hopes that his teammates will not be affected by negative energy.
So, Wang Xiao, Shang Chong, Liu Sha, Qian Bao, the master and the Taoist priest each received a blue-purple crying-faced little zombie mushroom. With the addition of these six little zombie mushrooms, the air in the multi-person room seemed to become fresh and lively all of a sudden.
In fact, this was true. Perhaps the negative energy in the house had been almost absorbed by the first small mushroom. The six new small mushrooms took a full hour to grow from half the size of a palm to the size of a palm.
Wang Xiao concluded: "The growth rate of mushrooms is directly related to the amount of negative energy in our environment."
The reason why the first mushroom was able to grow so fast was obviously because the negative energy in the house was too heavy. When the next six small mushrooms came out, the negative energy in the house was almost gone, so they grew more slowly.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Qian Bao directly formed a mushroom-shaped explosive weapon. Suddenly, it occurred to him, "Before, didn't the master say that he knew that there was negative energy growing in the city, but he couldn't accurately determine where it was coming from?
So, let's walk around the city holding mushrooms and see where they grow faster and faster consistently. Then, can we roughly pinpoint where negative energy is growing, or even pinpoint a specific location?"
Everyone's eyes lit up, and Wu Er even sang a Buddhist chant with a modern smile.
“Amitabha, this is a good method.”
It is also a relatively safe and risk-free method.
So everyone looked at Wu Xingyun with admiration. When had Wu Xingyun been looked at like this by so many people?
He immediately became excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood: "Don't worry! Leave the mushrooms to me! I have plenty of energy-producing mushrooms! Oh, one small mushroom per person might not be safe, I will plant another one for you! It will be safer for everyone to travel with two small mushrooms!"
Seeing how excited he was, everyone laughed good-naturedly, and the negative energy in the room became less.
However, when everyone went out with two pots of small mushrooms that could eat negative energy in a happy mood, the smiles on everyone's faces began to disappear almost in a second.
Even Wu Xingyun, who was basically unaffected, and Wu Xiangwang, who was inexplicably unaffected, couldn't help but frown after opening the door.
Although there is only a door between the two places, one can clearly feel the difference in the "atmosphere" between inside and outside the house.
Wu Xiangwang frowned and turned to look at his friends: "There's obviously a lot of negative energy out there, and it's probably even more negative energy in those gathering places of semi-weird humans.
Don't be stubborn. If the mushrooms grow out of control, plant them right there and return quickly. We're not in a hurry to leave here. Finding out what's happening in this city is more important than leaving. Everyone's life and safety are more important."
"Also... you might encounter something strange from the King's Capital Hunting Team. If you do, run away if you can. If you can't, immediately admit defeat and don't resist. Then tell them that you can be traded for me."
"How can that be possible?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Wu Xiangwang interrupted his friends, "As long as there's life, there's no need to worry about running out of firewood. If they catch me, I won't necessarily die. I might even find a chance to fight back. But if they kill you directly, you'll be dead for real, and there's no way to save you."
"Everyone, we have come all the way here, and I hope we can also go all the way back. Nothing is more important than our lives."
"If you can live, don't die."
Everyone was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.
Wu Xiangwang then smiled and comforted everyone, "You won't be as unlucky as Moldy Mushroom to be hit directly, right? And I believe that you all have trump cards, so you won't die in a single encounter. As long as we can buy some time to escape and then use the bell flower to notify the others, at least Liusha and I can rush over as quickly as possible."
"So, relax and don't be affected by the negative energy of this city. First, find a place where negative energy can be easily dissipated!"
Everyone nodded, and then divided into three groups according to the old distribution method of Shang Chong and Wu Xingyun, Liu Sha and Wang Xiao, and Seng Dao, each responsible for the east, west, and south areas of the city. Taking into account the comprehensive combat capability and escape ability, Qian Bao joined Shang Chong and Wu Xingyun's group.
After all, Liusha can teleport, the master and the Taoist priest have special life-saving skills such as earth-escaping talismans, so Shang Chong and Wu Xingyun are the slowest runners.
The explosives made by Qianbao include smoke bombs and anesthetic bombs, which can increase everyone's chances of escape.
Wu Xiangwang is of course in his own group, or in a group with Lin Yuan, who is not here now but will definitely be there at the critical moment. What he wants to see is the energy wheat field in the north of the city.
On the way to the energy wheat field, Wu Xiangwang carefully observed his surroundings and saw countless numb and weird humans who were almost the same as the previous two days.
He felt heavy-hearted as he watched, and already had a bad guess about the situation in the energy wheat field.
But when he actually arrived at the energy wheat field and saw the situation beside the wheat field, his mood suddenly plummeted to the bottom.
Yesterday, there were hundreds of people queuing up to harvest wheat, but now there are only about thirty people scattered around the wheat field.
Among these more than 30 people, half of them are adventurers who arrived yesterday and are on their second day in the city.
On the third day after entering the city, there were only a dozen adventurers left who insisted on coming to the energy wheat field and choosing to harvest wheat.
Moreover, the expressions and eyes on the faces of these dozen people were extremely dangerous, and Wu Xiangwang could hardly see any light in their eyes.
Perhaps being able to force their way here is already their limit.
And the words we agreed to yesterday about using various incentive methods to help each other have almost become empty words at this time.
There were indeed a few adventurers who were still trying hard to play light-hearted and cheerful music and loudly give their companions chicken soup, but everyone could see that it was all in vain.
One emotionally fragile female adventurer even started crying, and the more she cried, the more depressed she looked.
Next to these silent adventurers at this time were those half-weird humans who clearly didn't have any expression, yet always gave people the impression that they were grinning.
Wu Xiangwang pursed his lips.
He jumped straight down.
When the beautiful lady in the cloak appeared again, the adventurers who knew her almost cried for joy.
“Big Sister!!”
A tall adventurous man blurted out, and Wu Xiangwang's mouth twitched when he heard it.
He directly took out the No. 1 crying face mushroom that was planted in a large bowl of pure gold from his arms and placed it next to the energy wheat field.
Then, Wu Xiangwang saw a shocking, completely unexpected, and terrifying scene of mushrooms growing wildly—
The mushroom No. 1, which was originally only the size of two palms and was placed in the snail shell hut by Wu Xiangwang, grew to the size of three palms in less than ten seconds after being placed next to the energy wheat field.
Twenty seconds later, the mushroom had grown as big as a palm-leaf fan.
A minute later, the golden bowl could no longer support the pillow-like crying mushroom, and the originally chaotic pattern on the mushroom had been completely fixed at this time, which was a weird crying face with the corners of the mouth and eyes turned downwards.
In just one minute, the mushrooms burst out of the pot.
But the growth of the crying face mushroom is not over yet.
The mushroom that burst out of the pot directly dug its roots into the energy wheat field. Then, in just three minutes, the mushroom grew into a, no, a towering mushroom right in front of Wu Xiangwang's eyes.
Yes, using "duo" at this time is disrespectful to the giant mushroom.
The towering tree, which is five meters high and two meters wide, squeezes out the surrounding energy wheat and leaves no room for growth. It can definitely be measured using the quantifier "tree".
What's more, now, this big mushroom is still growing.
It was probably really intended to be described as "towering".
Don’t forget each other: “…………”
He suddenly understood Wu Xingyun's extremely guilty expression at the end.
Who wouldn’t feel intimidated after watching this!!!
Wu Xiangwang really wanted to roar, but he tried hard to restrain himself from getting startled.
But the human adventurers next to him were all staring with their mouths open in amazement at the big blue-purple mushroom that had grown wildly in a short period of time.
After a while, the big adventurer who had called me "Big Sister" suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Big Sister!! Awesome!"
The other adventurers also subconsciously began to clap their legs and hands frantically in agreement: "666!!"
"Sister! I've never seen such a huge and awesome mushroom in my life!"
"Fuck, who isn't?! The world is so big that nothing is impossible!"
"Hey...wait, are we here to see mushrooms? Aren't we here to harvest wheat? Oh my god, it's already past nine in the morning, and didn't we get here at eight? Why haven't they started harvesting wheat yet?!"
"It's not that we haven't harvested the wheat yet. It's that we've been affected since we woke up this morning. Although we still remember to insist on coming here to harvest the wheat and complete the mission, we are actually on the verge of collapse. We are almost like those half-weird humans standing there!"
"Then, then why are we okay now?" An adventurer asked this weakly. He stopped talking halfway through the question and suddenly looked up at the giant mushroom that had grown to more than 20 meters with a look of great admiration and fanaticism.
"God mushroom!!"
"No, we should call it the Life-saving Mushroom!!"
Then Wu Xiangwang saw three adventurers kowtow directly to the towering blue-purple mushroom.
He strongly suspected that the three adventurers were from the Indian or Southeast Asian countries.
He stepped forward and kicked the buttocks of the adventurers who kept kneeling and prostrating themselves. "Stop kneeling! Why don't you go harvest the wheat while you're still awake?"
The thirty or so adventurers next to the wheat field suddenly woke up as if from a dream, looked at Wu Xiangwang with special gratitude, and rushed to the energy wheat field to harvest wheat.
When they passed by Wu Xiangwang, they bowed with gratitude and shouted "Thank you, big sister!" to Wu Xiangwang.
Wangwang: “…” That’s not necessary!
Then he thought about it and rushed into the energy wheat field to harvest wheat. However, compared to others who wanted to work hard to harvest wheat to complete the task, his goal was the center of the vortex of the energy wheat field. He felt that maybe he could discover more there.
At this time, Richard was leading four distinguished guests from the Royal Guard towards the energy wheat field.
"I never thought you would suffer such a great loss at the hands of that human." Richard chuckled. "It makes me want to meet him up close and see what kind of person he is."
"Bah! That's a sinister and cunning damn man! Hiss, it hurts!" The carnivorous plant covered its mouth strangely, tears in its eyes, and stopped talking.
Sensing Weirdly looked at his tentacles, which had not yet fully grown, and nodded heavily in agreement: "Don't underestimate him, or you will suffer heavy losses."
Soundwave said nothing but his expression was gloomy, and the chimpanzee was beating his chest angrily.
Richard raised an eyebrow. "You're the third detachment of the Royal Capital Hunting Team. Isn't it a bit too much to praise a human so highly?"
"Although I also think that human must have something special about him, it's not good to over-exaggerate humans and belittle ourselves, right?"
"Don't worry, your injuries will heal instantly by eating the Level 7 Energy Wheat from the center of the Energy Wheat Field. The effect will even be better than the Blood Man Wine from the Natural City."
"Once you've recovered, it should be easy to kill that human. After all, you were just careless the first time."
The Piranha Plant curled its lips strangely, and the sensor also frowned and said nothing.
Only they themselves know whether their mission failed due to carelessness.
But no matter what, they will not fail a second time. As long as they meet that human again, they will definitely!
"My energy wheat!!"
Just when Richard had labeled Wu Xiangwang as a human being who was just a little special but not very powerful, he looked up and saw a huge blue-purple mushroom with a weird crying face in front of him!
Old swan!!
Is that a mushroom?!
That's not a mushroom, that's a devil trying to steal your territory!
Richard screamed and rushed to the edge of the energy wheat field in an instant, and then saw a large area of energy wheat with no living space left because of the huge mushroom that was a hundred meters high.
After converting these energy wheats into energy gold coins, Richard was extremely furious. He roared and slapped the damn giant mushroom that blocked the sunlight from his energy wheat!
"Damn mushrooms!! Die for this Earl!!!"
His ability is "Dark Flame + Devouring", which is one of the most bizarre things in the capital.
Wu Xiangwang heard the noise and quickly looked up from the wheat field. When he looked up, he saw the strange figure reaching out to touch the towering mushroom.
In an instant, his expression became very subtle. He looked at the weird person who attacked the giant mushroom as if he was looking at a stupid, ignorant idiot.
"...I hope you're not Richard."
as well as.
