Chapter 12 Tears of God

After understanding the danger of these mushrooms, the swamp changed in the eyes of the girls. The originally beautiful swamp faded its bright appearance and revealed its hideous face hidden under the beauty. As Panis said, dangerous things often wear beautiful coats and use attractive appearances to cover up their murderous intent, just like the mushroom I just met. If someone hadn't reminded me, who would have thought of the beautiful big mushroom that exists like the world in a fairy tale, which is actually mixed with species that can eat people. Perhaps for this beautiful mushroom, whether it is threatened or not, it would be better to stay away.

"Actually, it's not as exaggerated as you think. Hissing, the swamp is still very friendly." Lizardman lady Garantis walked in front to lead the way. For Lizardman hunters, the beautiful and dangerous swamp is their home. In this dark world, they can walk safely even with their eyes closed. However, Garantis obviously did not want to close her eyes. She grabbed seven or eight mushrooms with her hands. These mushrooms were of normal size, but they had bright colors on the surface, red, green, and yellow.

The color, beautiful colors appear on the mushrooms, which is enough for any normal person to avoid them far away. But Garantis held the mushrooms in his hand and threw a mushroom into his mouth. While chewing the mushrooms, he said, "Especially these mushrooms are delicious. Hiss, this is the taste of pink fruit, hiss, ah, this is the taste of rat tail buds. I forgot that this mushroom tastes this way. It's because I've been away from the swamp for too long? Hiss, I miss it."

"Give me a few." Panis stretched out his hand to Garantis, but the lizardman lady who was originally very entangled with Panis then kept the mushrooms in her arms, looked at Panis cautiously like a food-protecting puppy, slapped her tail and said, "No, hiss, this is what I picked, it is all my favorite taste, hiss, you want to grab my mushrooms again. Since I was a child, I won't give it to you, hiss, you have to eat it and pick it yourself."

"So stingy." Panis curled his lips. As he walked, he jumped up without warning, picked a few mushrooms from the height of Suogumu, threw one into his mouth, and after chewing a few sips, he suddenly stuck his throat with his hand. He had an extremely painful expression on his face and began to cough violently. Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him. Only Vivian saw that he was pitiful, kicked him gently from behind, and said contemptuously: "Stop pretending, it doesn't look like it at all, and who would believe that you are really poisoned by mushrooms, hurry up and walk normally."

"It's so boring." Panis instantly returned to his original state, and then threw a mushroom into his mouth. He said to the girls in a vague way: "Do you want to eat some? These mushrooms are one of the specialties in the swamp. Many of them have the flavor of various fruits, and they also have the unique fresh fragrance of mushrooms. They are delicious. I suggest you try it."

The girls shook their heads hard, and Catherine felt her skin numb and asked tentatively: "Are you sure these mushrooms can really be eaten? According to the usual saying, aren't these brightly colored mushrooms generally highly poisonous? I see that these mushrooms are brighter and can't be more brighter, and they are really not toxic?"

What Catherine said is common sense for adventurers in the Yara world. For adventurers, eating poisonous mushrooms is a very troublesome thing, which requires the use of the magic of the priest to disperse toxins. Some highly poisonous mushrooms have very strong toxins. Even with the physical fitness of the golden-level profession, they will die within one minute. If they were ordinary people, they would probably not be able to hold on for even three seconds. Therefore, unless it is the physical constitution of a demigod, they can fight against these toxins. If other professions mistakenly eat poisonous mushrooms of this level, the priest must arrive in time within one minute, otherwise they will never have the chance to save the life of the poisoned one. Therefore, under the demigod, no matter how powerful the adventurer is, he dares not easily challenge the authority of the poisonous mushrooms and eat mushrooms in the wild at will.

"That's just the usual situation. In fact, many non-toxic mushrooms have grown into this bright appearance to protect themselves. But it's too troublesome to distinguish, and even the same type of mushroom will have essential differences in different origins. For example, dragon umbrella mushroom is a rare delicacy in the deep mountains of Kuran, but when they arrive at the Faral Empire and the neutral place, they become a terrifying poison. Therefore, it is difficult for people who are not very familiar with them to distinguish whether the mushroom is poisonous. In order not to be able to avoid

After accidentally eating, the brightly colored mushrooms were considered to be highly toxic, which was relatively safer. "Pennis spread out a few yellow mushrooms in his hand and explained patiently: "And don't forget that this is a whispering swamp. The biological system here is very special. Whether these mushrooms are poisonous, people have used lizards to screen for thousands of years. My choice is from the lizard people, so don't worry, I will definitely not choose poisonous mushrooms."

"I'll try it first." Lina, who had the strongest curiosity, couldn't control her strong curiosity. She took a mushroom from Pannis's hand and looked at the sky first. Then she remembered that there was no sunshine. Whether it was no difference to the sky, so she had to laugh, put it under her nose and smell it, confirming that there was no strange smell. Then she took a small bite, closed her eyes and tasted it for a while. Suddenly, her eyes shiny and put the whole mushroom in her mouth, chewing it vaguely, saying, "The taste is unexpectedly good. It really has a fruity smell, and it doesn't have the bitter taste when eaten raw by ordinary mushrooms. It's great, you can try it too."

So in a blink of an eye, the mushrooms in Panis's hand were snatched by the snicker of the Lizardman lady, and there was not even one left. Panis shook his head in a hilarious way and jumped onto the Sogumu again. When he jumped down a few minutes later, he had already picked a small bag of mushrooms and stuffed them into his mouth before saying, "I just found a lake not far away in the tree. It looked very familiar, that's the Tears of God. I don't remember it very clearly."

"That's right, that's the Tears of God, hiss, one of the gifts of the gods to the swamp." Garantis nodded happily and shook his tail and said, "Tears of God are a resting place that is easy to pass when entering the swamp from this road. It just happens to be used to spend the night tonight. It's also my favorite area. When you were a child, you brought me to play several times. Hesitt, and of course you feel familiar."

"Ah, I remembered it." Panis patted his forehead: "I remember one time, your Knight sister and I were fishing in the Tears of God together, but we caught a fierce fish, which was more than 200 kilograms. I don't know if it was caught, whether it was eaten by people or people. Anyway, it scared us when it suddenly came out."

"Haha, when you went fishing, my mother reminded you, hiss, saying that there may be large fierce fish in the lake." Garantis's laughter was very crisp, and his yellow-green vertical pupils became rounded: "But you insisted that it's okay, but the fish splashed all over. That time, my mother and I almost laughed to death."

Evil fish are an uncommon carnivorous fish. Some live for thousands of years. If the waters are wide enough, they can grow very large. This kind of fish is very aggressive and eats a lot. They like to lurk in the water and suddenly rush out to catch prey near the water. Since most adventurers are not good at fighting in the water, if they are dragged into the water by large evil fish, they will be difficult to escape unless they have too much strength.

The girls listened to the conversation between Pannis and Garantis and walked forward. After a few minutes, they suddenly felt a bright light in front of them. The light that had not been seen for a long time pierced the girls' eyes, making their eyes feel ache. After rubbing their eyes, the girls finally knew the source of the light. It was a giant lake that was so big that it could not be seen on the other side. There were no scattered trees growing on the lake. Therefore, the brilliant sunset shone on the lake surface, illuminating the entire lake water very brightly. A large number of reeds grew by the lakeside. Because there were few people, the reeds grew very high. If creatures lurked in the reeds, it would be difficult to find each other even if they were close to each other.

The rare breeze in the swamp covered by Suogu wood was blowing the open enough lake surface. The rugged ripples on the water surface reflect the red sunset, making the entire lake look faint red. Under the breeze, the reeds on the lakeside sway gently, making rustling sounds, and the tiny sounds connected together, intermittently, as if they were whispers from lovers. On the lake surface, several naughty fish jumped out of the water towards the sunset, and the water droplets brought up seemed like gorgeous pearls in the sunlight. The silver scales reflected the afterglow of the sun from all angles, showing a rainbow-like color. In the sky, a few white water birds fell from the sky and drilled into the crystal water. When they reappeared, they each had a fat big fish in their mouths, sprinkled countless water droplets on the lake surface.

"It's really beautiful. I've never seen such a lake view before." Even though I knew that the more beautiful things in the swamp were, the more dangerous they were, Freya couldn't help but exclaim, and her hands were squinted in it. She said affectionately: "All this in front of me is as beautiful as a dream that I don't want to wake up, making people indulge in it. The faint sunset shines on the calm lake... Hey, don't hold up the staff, I won't let you not say it anymore. You idiot, can't let me express your feelings?"

"Now is not the time to express your feelings." Catherine gave Freya a blank look and frowned and said, "Galantis, did you just say you were going to spend the night here?"

"Yes." Garantis nodded and said, "Isn't this place good? It makes people feel calm."

"But if you spend the night by the water source..." Catherine was a little hesitant. In the habit of survival in the wild, it is best not to choose a location close to the water source for camping sites. This location will always be filled with monsters coming and going at night.

"Don't worry, there are special camping techniques in the swamp," Panis explained: "You'll know in a while."
