Chapter 69： Mushroom Forest

In the early morning of February 9, Jiang Xuan took the hunting team into the mountain again.

A total of nine people entered the mountain this time. In addition to Jiang Xuan and Shi Loach, there were also seven one-color warriors.

Among them, Jing Ji, the leader of the tourists, mainly asked to follow Jiang Xuan to hunt. Jiang Xuan felt that his strength was not bad and his current performance was also good, so he agreed.

Hunting is a dangerous business, and there is no harm in having more people.

The jungle in spring is full of green branches and leaves and unknown flowers and birds. It is very beautiful, and there are not many mosquitoes, which makes people feel comfortable.

Jiang Xuan and others walked in the jungle, searching for suitable prey everywhere.

"Swish..."

A giant Malu crawled over from a distance. It was seven or eight meters long, and it was covered in hard armor. numb.

Although the giant Malu is large, it has a strong stench on its body, leaving a strong smell wherever it crawls. The warriors of the Vine tribe dislike it very much.

No one would eat this stuff unless it was a last resort.

The nine people continued to move forward. Today's luck was not very good, and they only caught some small prey along the way.

"Could it be that the route taken today is not good?"

During the break, Jiang Xuan frowned, because there were too few prey caught today.

"Boss, there is a situation ahead!"

At this moment, the soldier who was in charge of exploring the road in front hurried back, with a very excited expression.

Jiang Xuan stood up immediately and hurriedly asked, "What did you find? Is it a large prey?"

The soldier shook his head, panted heavily, and gestured with his hands: "It's not prey, it's mushrooms, so big, so many mushrooms!"

A soldier who was resting said disapprovingly: "What's so exciting about seeing mushrooms, aren't mushrooms growing everywhere now?"

Others also nodded their heads. This season, when mushrooms are growing wildly, can be seen everywhere, nothing unusual.

"It's not an ordinary mushroom, it's a huge, a lot of mushrooms. Oops, I can't tell. Chief, you can go and see it with me!"

The pathfinder soldier was obviously not good at words and could only stare at Jiang Xuan.

"Anyway, it's almost time to rest, so let's go and have a look."

Jiang Xuan spoke, and the others could only get up and follow the soldier who was in charge of exploring the path.

Jiang Xuan didn't care much at first, because although mushrooms are delicious, many types of mushrooms are poisonous, and many tribesmen are poisoned by mushrooms every year.

Over time, everyone only eats the mushrooms that are the easiest to identify and have eaten many times, and unfamiliar mushrooms are afraid to eat.

However, when they passed through a dense forest and came to the place that the soldier said, everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them and speechless!

This is a virgin forest with towering ancient trees. Those trees are very huge. There are no shrubs and vines on the ground, but all kinds of giant mushrooms are overgrown.

"This...is this a mushroom?"

In the hunting team, Jiang Xuan opened his mouth wide and stared at a large piece of giant mushrooms in front of him.

These mushrooms come in different shapes and colors. The only thing they have in common is that they are big, incredibly big!

An orange-yellow mushroom with a height of five or six meters.

A purple Ganoderma lucidum-shaped mushroom, with a height of seven or eight meters, has five canopies growing from one main stem. From the bottom to the top, each node has a cloud-like canopy, which is very beautiful.

A blue mushroom that looks like a giant butterfly, the canopy is divided into two halves, and there are beautiful patterns on it.

There is also a peculiar black mushroom with a very short handle and a lot of canopies, which are stacked on top of each other and look like a giant pine cone.

And mushrooms that look like giant flowers, mushrooms that look like dead trees, mushrooms that look like giant snakes...

All kinds of mushrooms were dazzling, and everyone in the Vine Tribe hunting team was shocked.

"My God, are these mushrooms too big?"

"Are these mushrooms edible?"

"If this is edible, one mushroom will be enough for our entire tribe to eat for many days, right?"

...

Everyone in the Vine tribe was amazed while discussing, apparently no one had ever seen so many giant mushrooms.

This kind of scene is just like the cartoons Jiang Xuan watched in his previous life, very dreamy.

"Wow!"

At this moment, a flying bird flew over the forest at a high speed.

"puff!"

When it flew over a giant red mushroom, suddenly, a large piece of powder sprayed out from the canopy of the giant mushroom, covering the bird.

"Gah..."

After the bird was covered with powder, it only flew forward for a short distance, and then fell to the ground crookedly, obviously unable to survive.

The faces of the people of the Veng tribe who were discussing heatedly froze, and they realized that these giant mushrooms didn't seem to be very talented.

"Look over there."

Nepeta found a big-horned deer, but its state was obviously wrong, its eyes were blurred, and it staggered towards those giant mushrooms.

When the big horned deer walked into the middle of a giant mushroom, it seemed to finally be unable to support it, its body swayed a few times, and then fell to the ground with a bang.

Seeing two animals fall one after another in this forest of giant mushrooms, even a fool knows that something is wrong with this place.

The people of the Vine tribe involuntarily took a few steps back, the excitement on their faces was gone, replaced by instinctive vigilance.

"how so……"

The pathfinder soldier's face was also slightly pale. Obviously, he did not expect this seemingly beautiful place to be so dangerous.

Jiang Xuan held the bone spear and said, "This place is weird, let's go around first."

Jiang Xuan didn't want an accident, so it's better to avoid this weird giant mushroom forest to be on the safe side.

Everyone nodded, no one wanted to take this risk with their own lives.

They bypassed this giant mushroom forest far from the side, trying to keep themselves at a safe distance.

However, just when Jiang Xuan was about to leave this place, an unexpected situation occurred.

"No, there is someone ahead!"

Nepeta, who was walking in front, suddenly gave a low drink, and then quickly hid behind a thick tree trunk. When the others saw this, they also chose nearby bunkers to hide.

In the primitive jungle, many times, encountering people is more terrifying than encountering beasts.

Because different tribes fought fiercely for prey and resources.

If you encounter a beast, you may only die a few people if you are attacked.

Encountering people from other tribes can have disastrous consequences for your own tribe.

Jiang Xuan said in a low voice, "You guys don't move, I'll go to the tree to see the situation."

He carefully avoided the line of sight in front of him, and then lightly climbed up a big tree with more branches.

When he was halfway up, through the gaps in the branches and leaves, he could already see the person in front of him.

It was a team of about seventy or eighty people, it should be a hunting team of a strange tribe.

They had dark green totems painted on their faces, and because of the distance, Jiang Xuan couldn't see exactly what they were painting.

But the most striking thing about is that this team actually brought two huge mountain tortoises!

The two mountain tortoises carried a lot of things on their backs and walked with the team at a slow pace.

Not only that, but the leaders of this team were actually wearing large tortoise shells, with both breastplates and carapaces, which looked rather funny.

Not only that, Jiang Xuan discovered that they were actually walking towards the forest with giant mushrooms!

"What kind of tribe is this? What do they want to do in that mushroom forest?"

Jiang Xuan had a lot of questions in his heart, but no one could answer him. He could only continue to observe and see what the people of this strange tribe wanted to do.

In order to facilitate observation, Jiang Xuan changed a branch on the tree with a better view. He wanted to see if these people would encounter danger in the giant mushroom forest like those animals.
