Lord of the Great Tribulation

Chapter 394 Small Town
Lantis Township.

This is a quiet town with no railways and little contact with the outside world.

The townspeople live almost isolated lives.

The biggest festival every year is the 'Mushroom Festival', which is a festival set up to celebrate the mushroom harvest. At that time, the townspeople will share a large number of mushrooms they picked.

Of course, more often, these mushrooms are roughly processed and sold to foreign businessmen, becoming one of the few sources of income in the town.

Although poor, the law and order in the small town of Lantis is very good, and no major crimes have ever occurred.

Even the public security station in the town seemed to be in a state of doing nothing.

"This year's mushroom harvest is another bumper harvest!"

Little Jack walked through the dense jungle with a cloth bag on his back.

He was agile, occasionally picked those non-toxic mushrooms, and put them into the prepared pockets.

White mushrooms are delicious and can be used to make stock.

Common mushrooms can be dried and made into mushroom biscuits.

As for the precious matsutake, it is an extremely precious ingredient, and foreign businessmen are willing to pay a high price for it.

This mushroom forest all over the mountains is a gift from nature.

Little Jack was immersed in the joy of the harvest and unconsciously lost track of time.

When he looked up, he found that the sky had become dark, and he also unknowingly came outside a stone cave.

This cave seems to be very deep and dark inside, but near the entrance of the cave, there are a large number of mushroom forests.

For some reason, the mushrooms here grow big and strong.

Little Jack hesitated for a moment, and immediately went outside the cave to pick those bright-looking mushrooms.

In nature, the more beautiful and bright things are, the more likely they are to carry toxins, and the same is true for mushrooms.

In order to be cautious, it is best not to pick even common mushrooms that you don't know.

Little Jack's behavior has begun to violate his common sense.

But he didn't stop, instead he kept greedily picking bright mushrooms.

It was as if, in his heart, there was always a seductive voice urging him to do so.

"ate……"

"Eat it!"

Little Jack looked at a mushroom with a red surface and a little bit of green on the surface in his hand, and unconsciously swallowed his saliva.

His palm began to move slowly, sending the mushroom into his mouth.

'No... that look is poisonous. '

'Can't eat...you will die if you eat it! '

'But...it looks delicious...'

Little Jack's sanity became clouded and he put the mushroom in his mouth.

At this moment, he seemed to see the colorful spores in the air, and he suddenly understood: "It's the spores...they are poisonous and make me hallucinate?...No, they control me."

But it's too late.

His tongue can't wait to taste the deliciousness of the poisonous mushroom, and his throat can't wait to swallow, swallowing the poisonous mushroom into his stomach.

"Why... I feel that this kind of thing is not the first time."

At the last moment of confusion, a thought came to Little Jack's mind.

Immediately, his expression became dazed, and he quickly devoured the surrounding mushrooms until his stomach swelled.

When he couldn't fit any more, Little Jack stood up and walked into the cave.

The depths of the cave are not as dark as the outside world.

The surface of the cave is covered with a layer of glowing moss, and there is the sound of dripping water.

In the darkness, figures came out one by one.

Among them were old people, children, men and women, in all styles of clothing, rangers, gatherers, and loggers.

At this time, the only thing they have in common is that their expressions are blank, and fungus grows one after another on the surface of the body, and mushrooms emerge one after another from under the clothes, from the face, and from the neck...

A group of dull-looking people worked in the cave for a long time, during which there were low or shrill voices.

Time does not know how long has passed.

Outside the cave, figures came out one after another.

As they left the cave further, the strangeness on their bodies quickly dissipated, and their expressions gradually became more vivid.

They have forgotten their own experience, and they are still a good wife, a good father, and a good child.

Only in a certain period of time in the future will he recall this piece of information and re-enter the cave...

……

bang!bang!
The train roared across the field, braving a huge column of white air.

In the special box, there are only Fang Xian and Luo Fu.

At this moment, Fang Xian was studying a dossier: "Landis Town?"

"Following the channel through which Dewen obtained the Capro manuscript, the clues we found... There may be remnants of heretics..."

Love looked serious and nodded.

"The descendants of foreigners who mastered the "Secret Gu Scripture"? Worms... Gu worms..." Fang Xian had a subtle association.

"In the east where the sun rises, there are strange customs, such as the medicine that likes to use herbs, and the technique of manipulating insects... The word worm also has the meaning of Gu in the east." Love seemed to think for a while before asking Fang Xian explained.

"Yes, I know better than you about the relationship between Gu and worms..."

Fang Xian rolled his eyes secretly, and on the surface, he still made a gesture of asking for advice: "Then... is this kind of degenerate easy to deal with?"

"It's more difficult... You can tell by reading Dewen. The other party has supernatural power and strong vitality. It is a very difficult opponent." Love sighed: "This time, we pretended to be businessmen purchasing dried mushrooms. Try to focus on investigation."

'When the evidence and the truth are found, you can call for support, or even clear the ground with artillery fire? '

Fang Xian nodded secretly: "I know what to do."

"Be careful of those heretics, especially those who have classics and inheritances, they will master supernatural power more systematically..." Love said: "For example, 'Gu worms'... Sometimes it is not necessarily a worm that is visible to the naked eye, but it may They are smaller and less noticeable things. They will lurk silently and enter our bodies, making us weak, exhausted, sanity declining, and even insane..."

He was doing his duty as a senior investigator and rookie guide, trying to explain some information to Roca, so as not to be tricked if he didn't know anything.

"So... in this investigation, can we use the power of the spell?"

Fang Xian's eyes flashed and he asked a question.

"Spells will gradually corrode your sanity...but this time..." Love struggled for a moment, and quickly made a decision: "I have also prepared some means, as for your spells...I let you use it, and you can use it again , the previous sanity test, you have deviated a bit..."

'Isn't that what I did on purpose? 'Fang Xian rolled his eyes, but his face was serious: "I know!"
