Chapter 2 The Second Night
Black Mushroom was thinking seriously.
Gurgle, gurgle.
Guji... Guji...
The sound, very elastic and full of rhythm, gradually approached from a distance and became clearer and clearer. Even though she couldn't see it, Yun Wanwan could imagine a vibrant figure from the details of the sound.
I'm just a little confused about what kind of creature can make such a cute sound.
It must not be human.
Humans do not make such sounds, and in this "world", the place where the original body was stranded is a place that humans cannot set foot on at all - it's not that they can't come, but they have to be fully prepared, pay a huge price, and should not make any "gurgling" sounds.
The tentacles of the spiritual consciousness popped out gently. Even if you can't see it, you can use the spiritual consciousness to detect what the approaching creature is. Oh, this is called mental power in this world.
It has to be said that in the "memories" of the original body, her physical strength was not high. According to the classification of this world, she was just an ordinary C-level physique, only slightly stronger than an ordinary person. In the circle where the original body was, she was no different from "waste".
And there is no mental strength at all, and the original body's sea of consciousness is completely exhausted.
In other words, her original family doted on her immensely, allowing her to live with immense pride despite her worthless talent. Yet, beneath this pride, Yun Wanwan sensed the lingering inferiority in her original memory, a profound regret for her own worthless talent.
The air seemed to freeze.
The sounds of nature that filled the surroundings, even the sound of the wind, disappeared.
Including the confident and energetic "gurgling" sound, it also stopped where it was.
It seemed he hadn't expected Yun Wanwan to be so direct, using her mental power at the first sign of disagreement. If it weren't for its soft and gentle nature, it could have been a signal to start a fight.
Well, it's not only soft and gentle, but also full of irresistible temptation!
A temptation that had never been experienced and could not be imagined came over me, and an uncontrollable undercurrent suddenly surged in the silent air.
Guzzle! Guzzle! Guzzle!!
The bouncing gurgling sound suddenly became more rhythmic. Yun Wanwan could hear a different kind of anxiety in the sound. The original leisurely look disappeared, and the owner of the sound quickly approached her.
The surroundings became quiet again, and in the sound of nature's wind, only the cautious sound of leaves rustling in the wind remained.
Those surging undercurrents disappeared completely, as if they had never appeared, as if what Yun Wanwan detected with her spiritual tentacles were all her own illusions.
Yun Wanwan: Well, it’s worthy of being an illusion, it’s so carefully done, there is absolutely no flaw.
The tentative tentacles finally landed on the unidentified object beside her that made a "gurgling" sound. However, in just a moment, Yun Wanwan realized the specific shape and type of the creature.
Now, Lian Yunwanwan also fell silent.
Perhaps it was because this illusion was too interesting. It was not uncommon to see spiritual plants that had become spirits. Even in the world of immortal cultivation, there were cultivators who contracted spiritual creatures with intelligence as spiritual pets, especially special groups such as alchemy and medicine practitioners. However, Yun Wanwan had practiced for so many years and had never contracted a spiritual plant until she ascended to heaven. Her original natural wood spiritual root was very popular with various spiritual beasts and plants. Even without a contract, she was always surrounded by various rare spiritual beasts and plants that ordinary people would rarely see.
The reason why she didn't make a contract was very simple. At first, her spiritual consciousness was too weak. Later, when her spiritual consciousness became stronger, she also discovered the limitations of her spiritual consciousness. If she wanted to contract a spiritual pet, she could only contract one or two at most, to avoid those little cuties fighting. Yun Wanwan thought, forget it, just don't contract any.
World peace.
Her thoughts wandered away, recalling everything in the world of immortal cultivation. Yun Wanwan was a little immersed in it, and it was with great difficulty that she pulled her attention from those distant memories to the present.
"In front of you."
The small creature in front of her, if her cognition was correct, should be a mushroom no matter from which angle she looked at it, a mushroom that was slightly larger than her, or even a normal human head, and when its cap was opened, it was almost the size of a straw hat.
Having seen much larger spiritual pets, Yun Wanwan felt that this little mushroom was still a small mushroom, even though it was indeed much larger than a normal mushroom.
The little mushrooms were pitch black, with a texture and a luster. From the cap to the stem, everything was black. If Yun Wanwan hadn't been "looking" with her spiritual sense, she probably wouldn't have been able to tell what kind of black mass it was from her visual field.
The little mushroom has no facial features. Its smooth stem is full of luster and slightly bent, and even its cap is tilted at a curious angle.
Yun Wanwan suddenly had the illusion that she was being "watched". The presence of this little mushroom was too strong.
Immediately afterwards, Yun Wanwan felt a stinging pain coming from her spiritual consciousness.
That was the erosion of spiritual consciousness, or mental power, by the ubiquitous toxic pollution in the air. Even someone as powerful as her would feel uncomfortable.
Of course, if it were any other ordinary person, their sanity would have been devoured by the poisonous gas pollution long ago.
Even in an illusion, Yun Wanwan must be kind to herself. Only by living well can she find the point of the illusion, and only by breaking the illusion can she truly ascend.
Who knew that ascending to heaven was so troublesome? If she had known this, she might as well have continued to enjoy the respect of her fellow disciples on the mountain and lead a leisurely farming life - or was it because her ascension posture was wrong that she ended up in her current situation?
In fact, she doesn't mind ascending again.
The moment her consciousness returned to the sea of consciousness, endless darkness came again. Yun Wanwan was unable to control her severely injured and decayed body at all, and was directly dragged into the pure black silence.
——
The black mushroom, which was not small at all, tilted its cap in confusion, and the curvature of its stem became more obvious.
It didn't quite understand that the breath that had just driven all the plants here crazy came from the human in front of it. Especially for a moment just now, it seemed as if it was gently touched by the energetic breath, and the whole mushroom was stunned.
It didn't know how to describe the feeling of its head opening up. It was like a sudden enlightenment, as if it felt a wider world, opened the door to a new world for it, and had completely different ideas.
Yes, at that moment, it suddenly had something called thought.
What are thoughts?
Black Mushroom fell into deeper doubts.
The strange feeling came and went quickly. Before Black Mushroom could figure it out, it disappeared, and the breath of the human in front of him seemed to have weakened a little.
It knew that it was a sign of impending death, that everything would return to dust after death. Now that the human before it was dead, could it still sense that magical aura?
The black mushroom moved closer, and its slender stem jumped up and poked the human lying motionless on the ground.
No movement.
Black Mushroom was thinking seriously.
This was not the first time it had seen humans. Humans appeared on this planet from time to time, but because of the harsh environment, almost no one dared to stay for a long time, and no one had the courage to approach this forest shrouded in mutated plants.
Of course, there are also humans who accidentally fall into the forest and quickly become nutrients for the forest.
Black Mushroom had seen it from afar and knew that it was a human being.
But the human in front of him seemed different.
The human's body was in a similar state of tatters, but she was still alive. She could still emit such an alluring scent that made Black Mushroom unable to stop.
The black mushroom instinctively felt that this human could not die. If he died, there would be nothing left. When he turned into dust, it would be difficult for it to absorb the nutrients it coveted.
So now the question is, how can it feed a human being, especially a tattered human being who looks like he will break down soon?
