A magical mushroom forest
They traveled for a long time along the way.
It took longer than when Linglu took Anrita to find Cody.
After about an hour, the spirit deer leading the way finally slowed down.
Anita slowly straightened up, looked up and asked, "Spirit Deer, are we almost there?"
In the thick fog, the spirit deer looked back at her and shook its head slightly.
Not yet.
It will still take a long time.
The spirit deer slowed down because the mountain road ahead became increasingly steep.
They were heading towards another mountain, and the road was densely forested, with ravines and canyons, as well as thickets of thorns and soft, wet soil.
If the spirit deer was traveling alone, it would naturally be very fast, but now that it was carrying Anrita, it was afraid that she would get hurt.
Anita looked around at the forest, pointed at the dots of fluorescent light, and asked, "Cody, what is this place? Why are there so many glowing mushrooms?"
Because the environment is dark and humid, mushrooms of various shapes grow on the wet soil, between tree trunks and in bushes.
The small ones are only as big as a fist, while the big ones are taller than the umbrella cap and even taller than an adult!
They grow in clusters, emitting green, red, white, blue, purple and other colored lights in the darkness, like a dream.
The deeper you go, the more giant mushrooms you will find, and the dim light makes the jungle look like a fantasy world.
Anita was a little scared at first, but now she was just shocked: "It's so beautiful!"
The giant python warned in a deep voice: "An An, be careful. Most of these fungi are poisonous and spread through spores. Cover your mouth and nose, hold on to me, I want to speed through the fungus."
Anita hurriedly did as she was told, covering her mouth and nose and lying tightly on the giant python.
In an instant, the giant python was like black lightning, following the spirit deer and rushing towards the depths of the Fungus Valley.
The Fungus Valley was vast, and they traveled for more than half an hour. Just as they were about to leave the Fungus Valley, the spirit deer in front of them suddenly braked!
The giant python also stopped suddenly and looked at the spirit deer: "Why don't you move?"
Cody felt uneasy. This place was still part of the Fungus Valley, and was surrounded by giant poisonous fungi. He was afraid that the delicate little female would be infected by the poisonous spores in the air.
The spirit deer turned and hissed twice at Anrita, then walked towards a cluster of purple mushrooms.
The mushroom stem was slender, and its cap was like an inverted giant bowl, with purple light flowing around it, resembling a giant glowing purple bowl.
The mushrooms are more than ten meters high, and there are roughly thirty or forty mushrooms in the huge bush, each of which is towering into the clouds, which is extremely shocking.
Anita stared at the fungus for a moment and asked the deer, "You mean, Gar is here?"
The spirit deer nodded slightly and looked towards the mysterious purple fungus.
It neighed twice softly, and the sound echoed in the dark fungus valley, as if carrying a hint of pride seeking praise.
Hearing the neighing of the spirit deer, Anita's heart suddenly trembled.
An ominous premonition surged up like a wave.
Her face turned pale instantly, and her hands tightly grasped the giant python's body, her fingertips turning blue due to excessive force.
Then, she seemed to lose all her strength, trembling with nervousness, and involuntarily slipped off the giant python's back.
Almost at the same time, the giant python coiled on the ground quickly shrank and twisted, turning into Cody's human form.
At this moment, Cody and Anrita looked at each other, and then Anrita quickly followed the spirit deer in front and stood in front of the huge mushroom together.
Anita's lips trembled slightly, and she lowered her voice and said, "No wonder the magical crystal ball couldn't detect Gar's trace. Could it be that he..."
At this point, her throat seemed to be blocked by something and she could no longer speak.
Tears welled up in her eyes and burst out in an instant.
Cody on the side was equally shocked. He widened his eyes and muttered in disbelief:
"Could it be...that Gar met with some misfortune? These strange mushrooms actually absorbed his body as nutrients to grow so tall?"
Linglu, who was waiting to be praised, said: "Not buddy???"
There was a dead silence all around, with only the rustling of the grass in the breeze.
Anita's nose felt sore and crystal tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string.
She looked at Cody with tearful eyes and murmured softly, "Can't it be like this? It shouldn't be... this bad, right?"
As soon as they finished speaking, they both turned their heads at the same time, looking at the quietly standing spirit deer with sad faces, as if they were expecting a negative answer from it.
Anrita's eyes were filled with tears, and Cody's eyes were also red.
Spirit Deer: “…”
The white spirit deer was frozen by the stare.
The spirit deer was extremely anxious, but it couldn't speak!
In desperation, the spirit deer ran forward, found a huge purple mushroom, and then bit the root of the mushroom with a "wow".
Cody approached with red eyes and said with a sad look:
"So, Gar was absorbed by this mushroom? Then I'll take this mushroom back later. This is Gar's home planet, and his family all lives here. I have to give them an explanation..."
The spirit deer glared at Cody and kicked him again in anger.
Cody: “…”
Cody was furious: "How can you be so violent, deer? You've already kicked me twice, you know that? No one has ever dared to do this to me..."
At this moment, the mushrooms that had been bitten by the spirit deer suddenly made a "crunching" sound. Cody's expression changed, and he stepped back suddenly, hugged the still sad Anrita, and quickly retreated more than ten meters!
The spirit deer also quickly jumped away to avoid it.
With the sound of fine cracking, the huge mushroom slowly fell over, and finally with a loud "bang", the mushroom that was more than ten meters high collapsed!
Cody whispered to Anrita, "This deer's teeth are really sharp."
This mushroom, which grows to more than ten meters high, is definitely not an ordinary thing.
Its bark is as hard as wood.
The spirit deer took only a few bites and actually bit it off.
This amazing bite force left Cody with a lingering fear.
As the giant purple mushroom collapsed, the inverted umbrella-shaped bowl on top of it also overturned, and huge waves of water gushed out from it!
Amidst the loud sound of "splashing water", the rainwater that had been accumulated in the "big bowl" for a long time poured into the jungle.
A scarred black panther was also washed out with the water!
Anrita covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Oh my God! It's Gar!"
Cody's eyes became serious, and he walked quickly forward with Anita in his hand, then squatted down to check the unconscious Gal.
Gar was covered in wounds, his mental strength was exhausted, and his spiritual sea was on the verge of collapse.
When Cody carefully checked it, he was shocked to find that its breathing was as weak as a candle in the wind and could go out at any time.
Cody's face darkened and he said decisively, "This is a critical situation. He must be taken to the hospital immediately! His breathing is extremely weak."
You know, male orcs usually have tenacious vitality and strong physique.
Otherwise, the black panther would have died long ago.
Cody said anxiously, continuing to observe the Black Panther's condition with concern.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and said to himself:
"I don't know if this mushroom is poisonous. If it is, the consequences will be disastrous... No, I have to cut some off and take it back to a professional doctor for testing."
Before he finished speaking, Cody quickly pulled out a sharp knife from his waist and skillfully and carefully cut off a small piece of purple mushroom.
He carefully picked up clean leaves and wrapped the mushrooms carefully to ensure they were not contaminated.
After doing all this, Cody took a deep breath, looked at the dying Black Panther again, and prayed silently in his heart that Gal was safe.
