Chapter 3 The Third Night
The dark little mushroom finally came to its senses after being stunned. Its first reaction was to use the instant disappearance technique.
When Yun Wanwan woke up again, she was still a little confused as to what day it was. Her consciousness was affected by the poor condition of her body and she felt very dazed.
Moreover, although the flow of time in this strange world is the same, she has no standard for timekeeping and has no way of sensing the passage of time.
More importantly, she felt that the degree of compatibility between her consciousness and this body seemed to have deepened significantly. This made Yun Wanwan feel that this compatibility was not a good thing. It meant that her bond with this body and this identity was becoming increasingly deep, which meant that she was getting deeper and deeper into this illusion.
When she loses herself and becomes immersed in the illusion, she will really be unable to get out.
Even if she didn't care so much about ascension, she was fully prepared when the time came, because ascension was something that, if successful, it would be fine, but if not, one would either die or be disabled. Death seemed to be the least of the problems, but being half-dead would be so difficult.
Who knew that when she ascended, the door to the new world would open, but she would end up in such an illusion, trapped in this body—
She didn't know if it was her imagination, but her physical condition seemed to have recovered somewhat, and the heavy pain had faded a lot. Most importantly, her control over her body was slowly returning. It wouldn't be long before she could move freely.
At this moment, she was able to move her fingers and could feel the darkness in front of her.
This feeling is different from the previous feeling of darkness. The previous darkness made it impossible to perceive the surrounding limitations and it was not yet compatible with this body. The darkness now is more like the real feeling of light after closing your eyes.
It seems that when I open my eyes the next moment, I will be able to welcome the light again.
Yun Wanwan: ...
At this moment, the familiar "gurgling" sound came to my ears again.
Guzzle! Guzzle!
It is crisp and elastic, and makes people feel full of energy when listening to it.
Then the chirping little mushroom stopped beside her - if she was not mistaken, it should be very close to her, and the little mushroom seemed to be looking at her with a very curious "gaze".
Then a sticky liquid fell on her lips, and as if there was no need to open her mouth or swallow, it slid into her mouth, slid down her throat, warming her stomach bit by bit, repairing the damage to her body.
No wonder she felt much better. It must be that this little gurgling mushroom used some liquid to save her?
The liquid didn't taste too good, but it wasn't strange either. As the eldest sister of the Medicine Sect, Yun Wanwan had tasted many strange things. This liquid, which was rich in energy and could repair her body, didn't taste too bad. It just seemed immature, with a hint of astringency in its sweetness.
After drinking a portion of liquid, Yun Wanwan felt much better and had a better control over her body. This forced her to temporarily give up worrying about the relationship between this control and the illusion. She used her newly rested consciousness to directly control her body and opened her eyes with difficulty.
Yun Wanwan stared at the sky above her head in a trance. She could only see some broken traces among the branches and vines. Through the gaps between the lush branches, the rusty sky fell into Yun Wanwan's eyes, revealing a dark and deadly color.
Black Mushroom was shocked.
Because it was looking closely, very curious about what this human looked like. It seemed that it could feel the comfortable breath from the moment the human breathed, which also made this human seem more delicious.
In the past few days, Black Mushroom picked fruits to help Yun Wanwan eat, maintaining her vital signs while slowly repairing the injuries on her body. He also stayed nearby from time to time, for fear that the human he picked up would be eaten by other creatures in the forest if he was not careful.
He felt very comfortable being close to this human. Although the aura was not obvious, it was infecting him subtly. Except when looking for fruits, Black Mushroom stayed by Yun Wanwan's side all the time.
I just took a second look out of curiosity, and ended up meeting Yun Wanwan's eyes that suddenly opened.
The air froze for a moment.
Swish.
The dark little mushroom finally came to its senses after being stunned. Its first reaction was to use the instant disappearance technique and disappeared in front of Yun Wanwan.
Yun Wanwan: ...
This speed and reaction ability on a small mushroom was quite novel. Yun Wanwan couldn't help laughing out loud.
After making sure she could open her eyes, Yun Wanwan gained a better control over her body. The little mushroom hid and she had no way to chase it. She couldn't even turn her neck to look for it. So she closed her eyes and tried her best to adapt her spiritual power to activate her mental method.
Black Mushroom: Huh?
The human woke up, but fell motionless.
Is he dead?
After a long time, after confirming that the human had indeed not made any further movement and was lying quietly as before, the black mushroom stealthily poked its cap out from the darkness and looked at Yun Wanwan cautiously.
From a distance, I could see that his body was still rising and falling slightly, so he was breathing and should still be alive?
The black mushroom poked its head in the air, afraid to approach, fearing the human would suddenly wake up and crawl. The forest elders had said that humans were cruel and would eat mushrooms! It didn't want to be eaten. Although the human before it looked weak, the elders had also said that humans liked to deceive them with a weak appearance!
Black Mushroom thinks he is the smartest cub in the tribe and cannot be fooled by cunning humans.
But why is this human not moving again? Is he... dead?
Then wouldn’t it have been working in vain these days?
That won’t do!
The black mushroom mustered up its courage and jumped closer to Yun Wanwan again—Gugu!
The sudden gurgling sound in this quiet environment scared the black mushroom again. It had never realized before that its voice was so loud.
She was cautious again, even the gurgling sound became trembling. She had been practicing her mental skills very seriously, but she was still attracted by the small movements of the black mushroom. She couldn't help laughing while waiting for the little mushroom to get closer. She also thought seriously for a moment, wondering whether she should suddenly scare the little mushroom again - this little mushroom took care of her and helped her heal her injuries. Yun Wanwan felt that it would be better for her to be calm, so as not to scare the little mushroom away. It might not be worth it. After all, she didn't even have time to say thank you.
Thinking of how she had lived in harmony with the spiritual plants in the past because of her spiritual roots, although the practice had just begun, she preliminarily judged that this body had a good talent in this area. Even though this practice was open to all, the speed of entry was a little too fast, even smoother than when she first started.
It is interesting that the original body is classified as a "useless person" with no talent in this fantasy world.
The tiny bit of spiritual energy she had so painstakingly absorbed from the violent air transformed into spiritual power to nourish her meridians. This familiar feeling still brought her peace of mind. Although this illusory world was strange and novel, the feeling of spiritual power flowing through her meridians still made her feel that she was not lost.
Yun Wanwan used her mental skills to condense the little spiritual power that she had unraveled into her fingertips. It flickered like a firefly, but was about to go out at any moment - luring the little mushroom next to her - she used to do this often, not because she wanted to lure those spiritual plants and spiritual pets, but because they liked the taste of her spiritual power. She was also used to feeding them a little spiritual power from time to time when she was with them, and she also regarded it as a kind of cultivation.
On the other side, the black mushroom standing next to Yun Wanwan was dumbfounded. It didn't expect everything to come so easily. The taste it coveted most was right in front of it, flashing with dazzling light - although that little light looked very weak now, but in this dim forest, it was so dazzling and so heartwarming.
The black mushroom couldn't help but want to get closer!
But it also knew that the warnings from its predecessors were still lingering, but it couldn't help it - someone who could possess this kind of aura would definitely not be like those dangerous humans that the predecessors talked about, who only wanted to eat them all, right?
If Yun Wanwan knew what this little mushroom was thinking, she would definitely tell it with a smile: She might be more dangerous than those dangerous people it knew, because she not only eats mushrooms, but also uses them to make medicine!
Yun Wanwan could feel the little mushroom approaching, and she moved closer to the spiritual light spot on her fingertips, trying hard to absorb something from this tiny spiritual power.
Unfortunately, in such a short time, the spiritual energy that Yun Wanwan could separate from the violent air was extremely limited. She felt that this body was a genius that could condense such a tiny point of light.
So the moment the black mushroom approached, the spiritual light spot that was condensed with great difficulty disappeared in the blink of an eye like a dewdrop under the morning sun.
Black mushrooms obviously don’t have eyes, and they don’t even have the chance to blink: so why did it hesitate for a moment just now?
The author has something to say:
I had tomato mushroom soup pot today!
Black Mushroom: ...
