Dawn of the Grey Tower

It is not without precedent that plants act like people. The mythical tree people or rattan people are plants but have the ability to move like animals. Although most of the prototypes of these stories are forest spirits, that is, nymphs, some of them have a highly plant-like form, but they are animals that look a lot like plants, and are still very different from animal-like plants. .

Besides, it is still up for debate whether the mushroom is a plant or not. Most of the plants in the world obtain the energy they rely on to survive through light and rooting, but the mushroom often grows in a dark place and only needs to **** the water in the soil. and nutrients to survive. From this point of view, Mushroom Gu may be more like an animal.

The problem is, whether Mushroom Gu is more inclined towards animals or plants, Da Mushroom Gu has eyes and limbs, knocking on the door in the rain, or even walking into the house by himself, makes people feel astonished. The only thing that is gratifying is that this Mushroom Man is far away from hostility in both appearance and exudes momentum, which shows that it does not hate the three at least.

Of course, Cheese won't relax because of this. Demons don't need to do anything. People who stay next to them will die of poisonous gas. The breath of dragons is suffocating. There are huge differences between creatures. Some The inadvertent actions of living beings will bring disaster to others. And the most dreaded thing about Mushroom Gu is, well, the dreaded thing is...

"It doesn't look edible, and the shape of the umbrella cover is very similar to a poisonous orphan that I know." Pinwei broke the silence in the hut, and his words made Cheese and Yuni look at him one after another. No, not only them, but even that Mushroom Guy looked at him.

No matter what race, being talked about about food value or being serious is not a friendly way to greet him, and Pinwei knows this, but the words have already been said, so he can only scratch his hair in embarrassment.

"Look, we know it can understand us, or at least respond to voices. That's a big discovery, right? That way we don't have to try to sign with it, since its eyes are so obvious."

There aren't many times when the devil can speak his mind, which shows that Pinwei understands the impact of what he's doing and tries to remedy it. Believe me, the latter is an extremely, no, almost non-existent quality for demons, demons enjoy appreciating the damage they do, never have the slightest bit of shame or remorse for what they say or do, they are demons , as long as you live, there is nothing to be upset about, right?

"Its eyes, or photoreceptors, may not be able to present the same image as ours. Vision is ultimately a feeling that needs to be processed by the brain, the mind is no longer working, and what it sees is unrecognizable. But I believe it can rely on its own Otherwise, it and its clansmen would not be able to establish such a huge settlement, and they would still be able to find us in the heavy rain." Cheese spoke quickly, and the speed of his speech indicated that his analysis was probably for himself. .

"It said it could find us because Mother Tree asked it to do so," Yuni said softly. It took a few seconds for Cheese and Pinwei to realize what the apprentice was talking about. He heard this big mushroom solitary talk? And can you understand?

Cheese's eyes flickered with magic light, he got up, and there was a faint gesture of wanting to protect Yuni. But the apprentice soon continued, "It says that its people call themselves Shuzi, because all people are born from trees, trees that have fallen to be exact. Trees are their mothers, and therefore their mothers. The mother tree wants it to come to us, ask our needs, and fulfill our demands."

"Why can he hear your voice?" Cheese stared at Mu Guren with a bad tone. He thinks that Mushroom Man has connected himself and Yuni's spirit without authorization, and conveys the message in a telepathic way.

The establishment of telepathy in magic is extremely dangerous, because it directly opens up the weakest part of the human mind, and the ways and means to attack it are endless and deadly. As for why it is very simple to connect with Yuni, the apprentice is the most vulnerable of the three, and will naturally become the first choice. For Cheese, it is very unacceptable that someone treats his apprentice like this, whether the purpose is good or malicious, and naturally he can't talk to him.

"Because of him, oh no, I, I can feel the planes, um, spores. You know, plants and mushrooms release tiny particles with information into the air, kind of like pollen." The Pokédex gave Yuni better language narration, especially the creature part.

The spore is a very unpopular concept. For people of this era, they cannot understand how the mushroom appears. They only think that it germinates from shadows and water vapor, not from seeds like trees. It is only in a place with an extremely rich collection of knowledge, such as Wanfa, that the concept of spores is occasionally mentioned in the collection, a kind of tiny mushroom seeds, which are used to reproduce and transmit messages to other mushrooms.

"Can you feel, no, understand spores?" Yuni had surprised Cheese many times, and now he added it again.

Apprentices have many animal characteristics, which give them the potential to communicate with animals, understand spores? This is really surprising. Could it be that some part of Yuni's body is also a mushroom?

Or, is this a lie of the mushroom man? As for the so-called mother tree, it sounds more reasonable. Rotten wood is the most suitable for cultivating mushrooms. It is conceivable that huge mushrooms will grow from these collapsed giant trees. Well, Cheese has even imagined the sight of a mushroom growing on a tree trunk.

"Okay. But too long spore message segments can't be accepted, like can't understand too long words, uh, I'm not sure if they have such a thing as grammar." Some things can't be discussed carefully, because that makes people have to Face the parts that are flawed or contradictory.

Yuni was talking like a professional translator for the first second, and then fell into a quagmire of self-doubt the next. Cheese thinks such reflections are beneficial, but only when there is no extended impact.

"Don't be afraid. UU reading www.uukanshu.com I will perceive your physical condition, now focus on communicating with it." Cheese put his hand on the back of Yuni's neck There is a natural affinity between the apprentice who has a lot of magic and energy and his teacher, not to mention that Cheese has also added his own blood to the treatment formula for Yuni's disease.

To a certain extent, the relationship between Yuni and Cheese is like the relationship between Mushrooms and their tree mother, although they are not biological, they are not far from each other. The feeling of being connected by blood cannot be concealed. After receiving the teacher's support, Yuni settled down and focused on the perception of spores again.

"It said that being close to the flames made it uneasy, and that it and its kind preferred dim environments, but the warmth was worth taking a break from the dark embrace. I think this is its self-talk, these creatures don't seem to be able to control the release of their own information spores ."

"That is to say, they will say what they think at the same time. At least this can increase its credibility." Cheese nodded, noticing that Mushroom Guren was looking at them, and those eyes were so innocent that they wanted to laugh .

"Can you try to talk to it?"

"Well, it said no, it understood what we said. It's just that the grammar of your speech is too complicated, it is very difficult for it to understand."
