Chapter 1005: Mushroom Wilderness

After all, the strength of the biological magnetic field of the tentacles is limited, so the acceleration of the flight is also limited, and it is almost the same as the speed of Joan’s
eye of insight
.
Among the flying species in the underground world, the flying speed of the tentacles is at a moderate to low level, and it can't catch up with bats, so they are more willing to use ambush hunting methods. If you take the initiative to attack, once the prey is disturbed, with their slow speed, it is difficult to catch up with the agile prey.
The second set of modules for "Electromagnetic Affinity" is very similar in configuration to the 3rd-level spell "tremor perception".
Tentacles have no eyes, but their skin is very sensitive to changes in the electromagnetic field of the outside world.
If there is a creature close to the tentacle monster, as long as it has body temperature, it will radiate infrared rays to the outside world. Infrared rays are actually an electromagnetic wave that can be captured by those complex and tiny biosensors between the skin texture of the tentacle monster. The distribution of radiation is imaged in the brain, "seeing" the general outline of the creature.
Tentacles use this "blind vision"-like electromagnetic perception ability to observe the outside world.
Because thermal imaging is not accurate, the tentacle monster's perception of the outside world is also very vague, and only has a concept of the body's body contour, and the details of the appearance are not known.
It is based on this inaccurate way of cognition that the tentacles cannot accurately analyze the difference between different individuals in the same type of organisms. There is only a simple judgment standard: small creatures are easy to hunt, and large ones are best. Don't provoke.
This simple criterion can barely be applied in a long-term stable ecological environment such as an underground cave. However, once the environment changes, or an invasive alien species breaks into their habitat, this rigid dogma will make the tentacles deadly. mistake.
Just today, based on this dogma, the two tentacle monsters mistakenly regarded Joan as a prey that can be easily hunted by the goblin stream, and they paid a heavy price.
The third set of modules of "Electromagnetic Affinity" is similar in configuration to the "Protection Energy Enchantment" of the 3-ring spell that Joan learned not long ago, and is limited to the "Electricity" section.
This ability makes the tentacle monster immune to all electric or natural damage caused by magic.
Hailar did not know this in advance, and tried to bombard the tentacles with a "lightning beam". As a result, a 3-ring spell slot was wasted and he was almost captured by the tentacles.
Comprehensive calculation of the three characteristics of "floating flight", "electromagnetic perception" and "immune electric shock", the supernatural ability of the tentacle monster "electromagnetic affinity", the equivalent magic energy level is about 15 degrees, equivalent to a 5 ring spell. Among all the supernatural abilities that Joan has been exposed to, he can be regarded as a top-ranked powerful skill.
Joan copied the magic mark of "Electromagnetic Affinity" into the spell book, and later made the body of the tentacles into a specimen and put it in his backpack.
Putting away the anatomical tools and stationery, Joan took out his pocket watch and glanced at it. It was already one in the morning.
After a brief wash, Joan got into the tent, meditated for an hour as usual, put on a blanket afterwards, yawned greatly, and soon fell asleep.
...
There are no sunrises and sunsets in dark areas to provide a reference for people's daily lives. Under such an environment for a long time, it is easy to lose the sense of reality, and you cannot detect the passage of time.
Fortunately, Joan and his companions still kept the rules of life in the surface world. They got up early the next day, and after washing and eating, put away the camp and continued their journey.
The four rode along the nearly straight underground river channel. During the whole day, only the high and low mushroom clusters on both sides of the river bank accompanied them. The calm was a little boring.
When camping at night, Joan checked the itinerary map automatically recorded by the "Navigation Compass", which was more than 40 miles away from the dwarf camp at the time of departure.
The expedition team walked so far in just two days, thanks to the wide and flat terrain on both sides of the underground river, and no monster attacks on the way.
If you can maintain such a high speed of rushing, you will be able to reach Evelyn's reclusive "blood tundra" at most the evening after tomorrow, when Holden will send a letter to let her come to answer.
On the third day of the underground expedition, according to the Gregorian calendar common to the surface world, that is, June 13, Joan and his party left the camp and proceeded into the depths of the wilderness.
Near noon, Joan and they finally found a more active living species in the mushroom jungle that was tired of seeing. Although this thing can also be classified as a "mushroom" category, it will move anyway.
That's right, the expedition squad entered the "Mushroom Wilderness" on the third day and finally saw the living Mushroom.
When these supernatural fungal creatures are rooted in the soil, they look like a cluster of real mushrooms, but they grow very tall, generally more than five feet high.
According to the difference in the shape of the cap, mushrooms can be roughly divided into two categories.
A type of cap on the head is umbrella-shaped, and the folds under the cap spread radially, similar to the "basidiomycetes" common in the surface world. There is also a small number of mushrooms, the cap is conical, the surface is covered with irregular membranes, forming many honeycomb grooves, which looks like the "morchella" of the "ascomycetes" of the surface world.
However, when Joan and their lizard walked past the seemingly calm mushroom forest, the mushrooms mixed in the forest were disturbed, they pulled their legs out of the soil, and the thick hyphae hanging on both sides of the stem Raised one after another-it turned out to be an arm-like limb.
Joan and his party learned from the dwarf miners that the Mushman family is very xenophobic. Travelers are not welcome to set foot in their territory and even initiate attacks.
When I first noticed the figure of a mushroom, everyone was a little nervous and prepared for battle.
However, they soon discovered that the mouth of the dwarf drunk was unreliable.
The shook mushrooms in the woods beside the road did not show hostility to their group of uninvited guests, but instead appeared a little timid, and returned to the depths of the jungle one after another, just looked at them from a distance.
Joan was very curious about the physiology of the mushrooms, so he performed a "mosquito finger technique" to turn his left caudal finger into a blood mosquito and sent them to the forest where the mushrooms hid, to observe these indigenous people who are afraid of life.
Joan let the ground lizard follow his companion to gallop forward, switching his perspective to the blood mosquito, focusing on observing the mushrooms. It was soon discovered that not only did they look like humans, but under the cap, corresponding to the position of human heads, they also appeared to resemble the contours of human faces, with noses, eyes, and mouths.
However, after careful observation, Joan suddenly realized that the original "faces" of the mushrooms were nothing more than embossed decorations.
The organs on their faces are all shaped like their eyes. In fact, they are just two slits or a pair of grooves. There are no eyeballs in them. Of course, they can't see things.
