Chapter 1003: Underground jungle

The damp and dark environment is only a secondary factor for mushrooms to grow into "big trees".
Joan speculates that the unique soil environment in the mushroom area is more likely to be the main factor leading to this result.
Either the local soil is rich in nutrients needed for fungal growth, or the legendary "vein radiation" is exerting an invisible and huge influence.
Wisdom creatures living in a dark area have been infiltrated by the magic of the earth veins for generations, and almost all have evolved supernatural abilities and even spell-casting abilities.
Then it is inferred that the fungus has been infested by the magic of the earth's veins, and there are no natural enemies. It is reasonable to evolve into such an extremely large form today.
As we all know, the so-called magic power of the earth veins is actually the supernatural energy radiated by the magic crystal deposits buried deep underground.
Like the growth of all things in the surface world, it is inseparable from the sun. If the dark area suddenly loses the radiant energy from the veins, the entire underground biosphere will quickly collapse.
From this perspective, human exploitation of the underground mineral veins from the surface world is equivalent to destroying the ecological environment of the dark area, and there is nothing to complain about being violently resisted by local intelligent species.
As a human from the surface world, Joan will inevitably consider ecological issues from the standpoint of human beings, so when he sees this lush mushroom jungle, he naturally thinks that it may be hidden deep underground in this jungle With rich magic crystal veins!
The closer to the magic crystal vein, the stronger the radiant energy.
Experienced prospecting experts can reverse the distribution of magic crystal ore veins based on the unusually dense and vigorous vegetation in a place.
Joan brought a "perspective hand mirror" with him, and his companions also rented a "prospecting ring" from Mr. Locke.
Along the way, every time they reached a new area, they probed the ground under their hands with a hand mirror and a ring, trying to find traces of mineral veins, but unfortunately there has been little gain.
Seeing the dense mushroom forest in the wilderness at the moment, Joan spoke out his speculation about the relevance of vegetation to the magic crystal veins, reminding his companions to pay attention to exploring the underground veins during the journey.
Hailar and Zion’s sisters were excited when they heard the words. While riding the ground lizard along the underground river channel, they frequently excited the
prospecting ring
, and covered the thick moss on the ground, shooting a very penetrating beam.
Both the "Prospecting Ring" and the "Perspective Hand Mirror" are attached with 4 rings of "perspective technique", which can detect the distribution of the ore layer 100 feet deep underground.
Joan and they walked out of the river for an hour. As a result, nothing was detected, and their fevered minds gradually cooled down, disappointed.
It’s hard to say right now. It’s because of Joan’s misjudgment that there are no magic crystal veins in the area, or that their equipment is not sophisticated enough to detect the depth of the veins.
All in all, everyone has no idea of ​​making a fortune at the moment.
The vast field seems to extend to the end of darkness.
The map displayed by the "Navigation Compass" has a maximum radius of only 30 miles, and the margin of the field cannot be seen.
If the information provided by the dwarves is credible, I am afraid that Joan’s current maps may not account for one percent of the whole mushroom area.
After a long day of running down, everyone was very tired, and they set up a camp on the riverside, raised a campfire, rested overnight, and continued to hurry tomorrow.
The four went down to walk the lizard. Joan went to the river to fetch water. Holden accompanied him. He led the four-headed lizard to drink by the river, and then sent the lizards to hunt small hamsters and other small animals in the mushroom forest. Animals are hungry.
Joan first hit a bucket of water and carefully observed the water quality.
The water of the river looks clear, and there is no smell, but he still released a zero-point trick called "Detect Toxicity" in the bucket, and he was assured that he could drink it safely.
Joan and Holden each carried two large buckets of water, and when they returned to the camp, the ladies had set up their tent.
The four people cooked water around the campfire and drank tea. After eating some dry food, they rested separately.
Audrey originally proposed to take turns vigil, but Joan told her that there is no need to let the newly-acquired "tentacle monster" vigil be enough, anyway, this guy hardly needs sleep.
Joan didn't treat the tentacles badly either.
The ground lizards ate and satiated in the woods, and each took back a fat guinea pig as a tribute to their big brother, Mr. Poet, who wished to recognize them wishfully.
Holden didn't want to eat these raw meat, covering his nose with disgust.
Joan asked for the prey and gave it to the tentacles as a reward for hiring it to watch the night.
The tentacle monster was very satisfied with the reward. He descended close to the surface, threw out ten long tentacles, wrapped around a guinea pig, dragged it to the front, and opened the guinea pig’s brain with a sharp hooked beak. Suddenly sucking the brain.
This scene is really disgusting. Both Hailar and Zion don't look too far, and can't bear to read more.
Joan looked at it with relish, and sometimes wrote a few lines on his notebook to record the details of the tentacles eating.
The amount of tentacles is not too large, and the brain and blood of the four guinea pigs will be drained away, and the remaining bones will be disgusted.
Joan instructed him to patrol around the camp, return to the campfire by himself, take off his backpack, take out the body of another tentacle monster, put it on the ground, lift the "reduction technique", and restore the body to its normal size.
Joan took the portable toolbox from the storage bag, opened the lid, and a full set of anatomical tools and various glass reagent bottles sparkled under the campfire.
Looking at his toolbox, Joan rubbed his hands and couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Unfortunately, apart from himself, no one can appreciate the alternative beauty of these precision knives and bottles.
Joanne picked up a lancet and tried to cut one of the tentacles of the tentacle corpse, without accidentally being bounced off by the tough outer skin.
He replaced it with an "electro-optical blade", used this enchanted dagger to dissect the tentacles, and smoothly cut off one of the tentacles.
Joan splits the tentacles longitudinally, and observes the cross-sectional view to confirm that the tentacles are hollow and have a multi-layer tubular structure, wrapped with layers of flexible fibrous hard sheaths, and between each sheath, strong growth The powerful ring muscles together form a strong but flexible limb.
Joan also found that the hollow cavity of the tentacles is actually a simple and effective hydraulic device that can squeeze the toxins secreted by the toxic glands in the tentacles to the ends of the tentacles, and then inject them through the needle-shaped bone spurs that grow on the surface of the tentacles. In hunting objects.
Toxins enter the blood circulation, and within a few seconds, a prey of the size of a tentacle monster can be paralyzed and paralyzed.
This bio-hydraulic injection device reminded Joan of his own "hornet shape".
