Chapter 1008 Hallucinogenic Spores

Joan briefly explained to his companions the deterrent effect of "Daylight" on the mushroom man, and then walked alone to a relatively flat and open area, chanted the spell in a low voice, and threw the glass bead in his hand at his feet.

"Vala!"

The moment the glass bead fell to the ground, it made a muffled "pop" sound, and exploded by itself, turning into countless fine glass dust, shining brightly under the illumination of the "Daylight Technique".

The glass dust fused with magic power automatically condensed into a translucent spherical force field shield in the air, covering Joan inside.

Holden saw that Joan had built a "shelter hut", and quickly called his sister and Hailaer to take refuge in the house.

The three of them hurriedly withdrew to the hut, confirming that the force field shield could block the fluorescent spores scattered outside the hut, and then took off their gas masks one after another, gasping for breath, showing fatigue.

A large group of mushroom people swarmed from all directions, until they were blocked by the force field shield, they waved their fists tentatively and beat the shield.

The four people in the house rely on the "shelter hut" to avoid the siege of powerful enemies in almost every adventure, and they have already understood this tactic.

Seeing the mushroom man trying to destroy the hut, he didn't care much. Except for a few magic and force field weapons, other attack methods can't damage the hut at all, and the beatings of the mushroom people are just a waste of effort.

Hyrule regained his energy after a short rest, stroking the twin ponytails hanging on his shoulders, walked up to the translucent shield, made faces at the fungus slapping the shield outside the house, and smiled gloatingly: "A group of stupid mushrooms, There is nothing wrong with us now!"

She thought that the fungus outside the house, like the mutant spiders, frost lizards, or Peridon they encountered in their previous adventures, would disperse after finding that the "refuge hut" could not be destroyed, and the people in the house would also follow suit. Get a chance to escape.

But what happened next was beyond her expectations.

The group of mushroom people outside the house found that they couldn't break the force field shield with brute force, so they stopped wasting their efforts, but they didn't retreat as Hailar expected.

They simply put their legs together, sticking to the outer wall of the hut and taking root on the spot, strands of hyphae extending from the soles of their feet, burrowing deep into the soil. In a blink of an eye, they changed from a group of lively mushroom people to a densely grown mushroom bush surrounding the hut. The attitude of going to a stalemate with the four people in the room.

Now Hailar couldn't laugh anymore, and asked Joan worriedly: "These big mushrooms, why don't they just keep guarding outside the house and stop moving?"

Joan glanced out of the house and told the truth.

"Probably."

"That is to say, the enemy and us can only compete for patience to see who can't hold it first?"

"The fungus can get all the nutrients it needs to survive from the soil. It spends most of its life rooted in the soil and does not move, just like a real mushroom. You'd better not try to compete with the mushroom man for patience."

Hearing what Joan said, Hailaer couldn't help but look bitter.

At this moment, the situation outside the house was getting worse.

Sparkling clouds floated in the night sky. They were also a kind of supernatural fungus. Sensing the alarm spores scattered by the mushroom man, they flew out from the depths of the mushroom forest, clustered and hovered over the shelter, flashing and flashing It emits a magnificent light, like a fluorescent jellyfish in the deep sea.

"These planktonic fungi suspended in mid-air have only a thin layer of skin. They will self-explode when they are traumatized, spraying out a large number of highly toxic spores. We'd better stay away from them."

Qiao An observed the planktonic colony above his head, and reminded his companions to be careful in a deep voice.

Hailar and Audrey looked at each other in blank dismay, and it was difficult to hide the worry in their eyes.

What they originally thought was that it doesn't matter if the refuge hut is surrounded by mushroom people. Anyway, everyone has the ability to fly. The big deal is to sacrifice four ground lizards that act as mounts and fly away from the hut. The mushroom people can't fly, so they can only stand He stared blankly on the ground.

However, the sky above the refuge hut is covered with plankton mushrooms, like "gas bombs" cruising all over the sky. Even if everyone has the ability to fly, they may not be able to escape smoothly.

The successive bad news made the atmosphere in the hut extremely dull.

Just as Joan was thinking about the strategy to get out of trouble, there was a strange laughter behind him.

Joan's heart shuddered, and he quickly turned to look at Holden.

The young poet had a weird smile on his lips, his facial muscles twitched, his pupils dilated, as if he had lost focus.

"Holden, your face is ugly, are you uncomfortable?"

"No, no...Joan, have you seen many little people dancing...hehehehe...holding hands, it's so interesting..."

Holden laughed strangely and danced, as if he wanted to join the ranks of those little dancing figures.

"Where is there any dancing villain?"

"What the hell did the little rascal see?"

Both Audrey and Hyrule were puzzled.

The scene described by Holden reminded Joan of the scene he had just experienced through the sense organs of the tentacle monster, and whispered his guess to Audrey and Hyrule.

"The blue fluorescent spores emitted by the mushroom man have a strong hallucinogenic effect. Holden may have inadvertently inhaled the spores and had hallucinations."

When Audrey learned that her younger brother had been poisoned, her face immediately changed, and she hurried to Holden, stretched out her hand to press his chest, and performed "Lay on Treatment" to remove the virus.

Holden flailed his hands and feet wildly, appearing extremely excited.

Hailar and Joan had no choice but to grab his arm tightly and hold him down with all their strength, so that Audrey could concentrate on treating him.

Holden's symptoms after being poisoned reminded Joan of a common poisonous mushroom in the Alfheim jungle, and he would have similar hallucinations after eating it by mistake. Patients will also experience symptoms such as muscle spasms, foaming at the mouth, and dilated pupils. If they are not treated in time, they may even be fatal.

Before setting off from the camp this morning, Joan had prepared two bottles of potions infused with the energy of "God's Tears" in advance, which had the effects of healing and detoxification.

If Audrey's "Lay on Treatment" could not restore Holden to normal, he would pour a bottle of potion on Holden, which could at least delay the onset of the toxin.

Fortunately, Audrey's "Lay on Treatment" was very powerful. Under the irradiance of the Holy Light, Holden quickly calmed down, got rid of the hallucinations, and regained his sense of reality.

Audrey handed the water bottle to the sweating and pale younger brother, told him to take a good rest, turned around and walked up to Joan, and gave him a wink.

Joan nodded knowingly, and followed Her Royal Highness to a secluded corner of the hut.

"Joan, our current situation is very pessimistic. The longer the stalemate continues, the worse it will be for us."

Audrey lowered her voice, and the corners of her eyes and brows couldn't hide her worry.

Joan nodded, agreeing with her judgment on the current situation.
