Chapter 244: Zhang Xu Picking Mushrooms

In the Forbidden Forest at night, everything is quiet, and the leaves are no longer rustling.

How beautiful the night is, how enchanting it is, in this enchanting evening.

While there are many dangers in the Forbidden Forest at night, there are also rich treasures.

Even Hagrid knew very little about the Forbidden Forest at night.

If Zhang Xu hadn't rescued a young centaur with an injured leg in the Forbidden Forest one night many years ago, and then attended a banquet in the centaur tribe, he would not have known that the night in the Forbidden Forest was so wonderful.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the moon like a washbasin hangs in the sky.

When I called Furong yesterday, she said that this Mid-Autumn Festival she was going to visit Dongia to play, and he stayed at Dongia's house for the past two days, so he stopped calling.

The bright moonlight shone on the ground covered with fallen leaves in the Forbidden Forest. Zhang Xu, who had a lot of time tonight, was slowly looking for something in the Forbidden Forest.

Zhang Xu didn't take out his wand for lighting today, but wore the goggles he developed to deal with the basilisk.

The goggles with the night vision function turned on made Zhang Xu's vision unaffected by the night. Under the effect of the goggles, the Forbidden Forest in front of Zhang Xu was almost the same as during the day.

Zhang Xu is going to find some good things in the Forbidden Forest tonight, they only appear at night, and they hide under the soil when there is light during the day, and their taste is best on the night of the full moon.

Although Zhang Xu can usually trade them with the horse tribe, the income from his own labor always has a special flavor.

Suddenly, Zhang Xu noticed a burst of yellow light behind a big tree.

Zhang Xu rushed over immediately. It was a mushroom with a yellow cap and a white stalk. On its cap, with some dark round spots, there is a soft yellow glow.

This kind of mushroom is called sunshine mushroom by the horse people. Because it will glow at night when it matures, the horse people began to plant it on the roadside as a street lamp a long time ago.

Until many years ago, there were two young horses who made a bet and whoever lost would eat a raw sunshine mushroom.

Zhang Xu would never touch this overly gorgeous looking mushroom before going to the horse tribe for dinner.

But when he ate the cold sunshine mushroom that day, he could never forget the crisp and refreshing taste.

It's a pity that their breeding conditions are a bit harsh,

It is difficult to cultivate in large quantities. In the past, the horse people could only transplant the grown ones back to be used as street lamp species.

Professor Sprout has been studying them for some years, but the progress is not satisfactory, so Zhang Xu can only go to the Forbidden Forest to find a way.

When Zhang Xu picked the sunshine mushroom in front of him and threw it into the bamboo basket on his back, he heard the sound of horseshoes.

"Good evening, McTosh." Zhang Xu greeted the centaur who came over after taking off his goggles.

"Good evening, my friend." Metosh said to Zhang Xu, "Under the guidance of fate, we meet again."

"Are Granny Smith, Jiaer and Lili okay?" Zhang Xu asked.

"They are all well and miss you terribly," Metosh replied.

Mai Tosh is a centaur who is about to grow up. He was accidentally injured when he ran into the Forbidden Forest one night a few years ago, and then met Zhang Xu who was adventuring in the Forbidden Forest.

At that time, Zhang Xu treated his wound and sent him back to the village of the horse people.

Therefore, the horsemen did not hostile to Zhang Xu, and even welcomed him into the village as a guest.

McTosh took Zhang Xu back to his home and introduced Zhang Xu to his grandmother and sister.

My parents went to the depths of the Forbidden Forest to hunt eight-eyed spiders that day, and they would not return until several days later.

Later, when chatting with other horsemen, they heard that Zhang Xu slaughtered the eight-eyed spider's nest by himself not long ago, and they didn't believe his words, and some horsemen were about to turn their heads.

Later, after Zhang Xu performed a calm fireball on the bow and arrow shooting range, the horse people believed his words.

For decades, the horsemen have been competing with the eight-eyed spiders for living space. After Zhang Xu helped the horsemen deal with the invaders in the Forbidden Forest, he won the friendship of the horsemen.

What followed was a celebration banquet in the centaur tribe. It was at the banquet that Zhang Xu found out that the Forbidden Forest had such a wealth of ingredients.

At the banquet, while eating, Zhang Xu asked about the origins of various ingredients, including many mushrooms that only appeared at night.

The banquet was very successful, but Zhang Xu was not used to some customs of the horse people.

For example, the horse people respect nature, so they don't wear clothes regardless of men and women.

Sitting next to Zhang Xu at the banquet were McTosh, his two younger sisters Jiaer and Lili, and his grandma, Granny Smith...

In the Forbidden Forest, Zhang Xu and Mattosh separated after chatting for a while. They both came out to pick mushrooms tonight.

After Zhang Xu exterminated a piece of Dragon Claw Vine, he made a new discovery not far away.

Under a big tree that has grown for an unknown number of years, there is a tree root with dragon coils. On the root of the tree, there are more than 20 puff mushrooms with purple caps.

Puff mushrooms are aggressive mushrooms that spew spores that attack animals when they approach them.

Their spores are poisonous and cannot be eaten, but they can be used to refine potions. Snape has a lot of demand for these spores.

Although their spores are poisonous, their caps and stalks are delicious.

Small puff mushrooms that are less than ten centimeters high are suitable for stir-frying, while large puff mushrooms that have grown to a height of nearly 30 centimeters are suitable for chopping and making meat sauce.

Zhang Xu's main goal in coming to the Forbidden Forest today is these big puff mushrooms, because Fu Rong likes the spicy big puff mushroom beef sauce very much, and if she mixes it with pasta, she can eat a big bowl at a time.

Mushrooms rely on the vibration of the ground to detect and attack enemies.

If Zhang Xu walked over rashly, he would not please him.

But, he can fly.

Zhang Xu, who had been prepared for a long time, squatted on the flying sword, flew to the sky above the puff mushroom group, and then opened a small bag, covering each large and small puff mushroom from top to bottom.

After spraying all the spores of the puff mushrooms, Zhang Xu picked them up, took the puff mushrooms out of the bag and put them into bamboo baskets, and put the spores in the bag away.

Like the horsemen, Zhang Xu only picked 80% of the puff mushrooms in this area, and did not collect the spores scattered on the ground, in order to be able to pick them again in the future.

After walking around in the Forbidden Forest, Zhang Xu picked up a dozen sun mushrooms, and a basket full of large and small puff mushrooms.

In addition, Zhang Xu's greatest achievement was picking an extremely precious charm mushroom, which is said to have the same function as the Imperius Curse.

As for the explosive destruction mushroom that Matosh had always asked him to be careful of, Zhang Xu hadn't seen it for so many years.

It is said that when the black mushroom matures, it explodes violently when touched by other animals, spreading the spores at the same time.

In the past, once the horse people found this kind of destruction mushroom in the Forbidden Forest, they transplanted it to the eight-eyed spider's territory before they were mature.

The explosion power of a mature destruction mushroom is enough to kill an eight-eyed spider that steps on it.

Zhang Xu probably didn't encounter this kind of mushroom because he had been wandering around in the territory of the eight-eyed spiders all the time. The eight-eyed spiders had trampled all the destruction mushrooms.

Otherwise, he would like to plant a large area of ​​these destruction mushrooms around Malfoy's house.
