hunter rule

The southern block is Zhao Guangli's original residence.

It is divided into two urban areas: the upper city area and the lower city area. The upper city area is the normal activity area for residents, while the lower city area is obviously for those gray people who are sneaking around and wandering outside the rules.

Not far from this area is [Mushroom Spring].

According to the information Zhao Guangli checked, this so-called [Mushroom Spring] was discovered in the southeast corner of Black Iron Castle about fifty years ago. Originally, that place was just an ordinary spring in the forest, with nothing surprising about it.

place.

But since one day, strange mushrooms have grown there.

The mushrooms were colorful and multiplied crazily around the spring, occupying many corners of the forest.

Originally, the residents of Black Iron Castle didn't take it seriously, thinking that these mushrooms were just ordinary things. Even if some mushrooms were highly poisonous, it didn't matter. After all, the colorful ones looked good.

However, things changed when someone entered the forest where the mushroom spring was located and never came out again.

At that time, the city hall had indeed sent personnel to investigate, and found that the entire mushroom spring exuded the scent of demons, and those ordinary mushrooms emitted highly toxic gases, and there were even records of harming professionals.

And deep in the forest, at the source of the mushroom spring, there seems to be a considerable amount of demons.

However, Zhao Guangli somewhat understood why the alliance's city hall did not take action to exterminate demon gathering places in human stable areas such as [Blackwater Swamp] and [Mushroom Spring].

According to records, demons not only bring danger and disasters to people, but also bring a large amount of resources.

In the [Blackwater Swamp], the blood of the water ghost and the fragments of the swamp witch's cloak can be sold as extraordinary materials, which are valuable. Some of them are the basis for making certain medicines or extraordinary items.

In the [Mushroom Spring], the most precious thing is the spring water that was polluted by unknown and strange things. The spring water that was originally sweet and delicious has now become extremely poisonous. Around the spring water, there are also some strange polluted mushrooms guarding it.

.

And this kind of spring water is an excellent material. It is said that deep in the [Mushroom Spring], there is the person who changed the original spring water into what it is now. Maybe it is a powerful demon, maybe it is a strange item, but these

At best it's just speculation.

The moon and stars are sparse.

Zhao Guangli closed the nameless book in his hand and felt some slight mud under his feet. Not far away, the green woods in the darkness had appeared in front of him.

In the distance, unknown insects began to sound. Zhao Guangli took a deep breath and slowly walked into the forest in such a terrifying atmosphere.

"Continue along this road and you will reach the outermost edge of [Mushroom Spring]."

Zhao Guangli looked at the map and continued walking forward cautiously.

The fallen leaves on the ground were stepped on by Zhao Guangli, and they groaned in pain, as if something was roaring.

Zhao Guangli had suffered enough stimulation today, but the terrifying atmosphere at this moment made him calm down.

The periphery of [Mushroom Spring] is not too different from [Blackwater Swamp]. They both have a terrifying appearance that no strangers are allowed to enter. Normal residents will always stay away from this kind of place where monsters are entrenched.

At this moment, the ground felt a little wet, and a slight muddy feeling came to his mind. Without hesitation, Zhao Guangli took out a gas mask similar to a mouthpiece and covered his nose and mouth.

This kind of gas mask was bought by Zhao Guangli from the market. It is said that it can indeed resist the toxic pollution of poisonous mushrooms outside the [Mushroom Spring]. At this moment, Zhao Guangli can only smell pungent herbs in his nasal cavity.

smell.

Poisonous mushrooms are the most numerous things around the entire mushroom spring.

Speaking of which, these things are not considered monsters, they can only be regarded as accessories affected by monsters. Many explorers come here to pick poisonous mushrooms... Of course, this kind of work is quite dangerous, if you are not careful.

, the poison will invade the human body.

Zhao Guangli was carrying a cloth bag behind his back at the moment. He had changed his original dress into a coarse cloth and put on white gloves, which made him fully armed.

On the ground, mushrooms slowly appeared at the roots of the trees, as if they were parasitic. There was no wind, but the colorful mushrooms were squirming strangely.

Yes.

It was squirming like a chubby insect, visibly squirming.

Zhao Guangli turned around slightly. The lights in the lower city area had almost disappeared, leaving only darkness and the wriggling figures of those poisonous mushrooms.

"Generally speaking, in an area, there will only be one truly poisonous mushroom that emits a poisonous smell."

As Zhao Guangli scanned, he vaguely noticed that the colors in his field of vision were gradually changing.

It was as if some mist had enveloped it.

The lavender mist followed the ground, carrying a damp smell, and invaded Zhao Guangli.

"No problem, I've already put on the gas mask."

Although Zhao Guangli was nervous, his movements did not stop at this moment.

The reason why he chose [Mushroom Spring] as the promotion place for his ritual had his own considerations.

Currently, Zhao Guangli knows that there are only three places where demons are entrenched inside and outside the Black Iron Castle.

[Blackwater Swamp], [Mushroom Spring], [Guen Church].

[Blackwater Swamp] Forget it, Zhao Guangli really doesn't want to think about those water ghosts anymore, let alone the witches who built shacks inside the swamp.

[Guen Church] was recently discovered. It is also an area that Gu Xintong and Zhao Guangli had explored before. It is currently controlled by the city hall. If you want to get in, you have to find a way secretly.

The [Mushroom Spring] where we are currently located is a relatively docile area among the gathering places of demons.

First, there are not many real living creatures and beasts in the periphery...

Zhao Guangli is quite aware of this, and he has been poisoned by poisonous mushrooms in some cases.

Second point……

It is.

Zhao Guangli raised his head at this moment. In the entire forest, there was no moonlight at all, and he could only hear the faint sound of something.

The squirming sound of those mushrooms stimulated Zhao Guangli's eardrums.

At this moment, a crying face was hung upside down on the tree in front of Zhao Guangli.

Zhao Guangli's eyes widened, and for a moment, his heartbeat reached the limit.

It was really a human face, as if it were crying, with folds and ripples hanging on the face, and everything in the dark shadows revealed something strange.

"Human Face Mushroom."

Zhao Guangli thought silently in his heart.

Countless hyphae were wrapped around the tree trunk, like fleshy tentacles. This mushroom with a human face was hanging upside down, looking at Zhao Guangli dully.

"Yohohohohoho."

The human face on the mushroom opened and closed its mouth, making strange noises towards Zhao Guangli.

At this moment, Zhao Guangli looked at the person's face, lowered his head, placed his cloth bag on the ground, and then opened it.
