Chapter 1180: Water Mushroom Beast, Xumi Mushroom

The higher the level of understanding, the more emotional one is, so one can understand the world and all living beings.

Reason is the key to studying the truth of the world, and sensibility is the ladder for the mind to prevail over matter and transcend the truth. Therefore, "dreams" are used to reverse the rules and fight against fate.

There is hope and miracles.

Really looking at Jiang Yi.

The divinity of dreams, the divinity of the moment, the divinity of eternity... everything is blended in Jiang Yi.

Compassion and wisdom make them immortals, saints, gods and Buddhas, and they are “people” who transcend humans.

Ying and Paimeng didn't dare to speak in this solemn atmosphere.

The serious Jiang Yi is always like the sun.

Jiang Yi looked forward.

"A child?" Ying and Paimeng were surprised. "Why is there a child here?"

A little girl with a bun hair and glasses, wearing a brown and black dress.

The spell light emitted by Jiang Yi illuminated the little girl, and the shape of a rag doll was projected on the ground.

"Come with me! I'll take you home!" he said and stretched out his hand.

"Thank you! I'm afraid of being discovered by my dad, so I can only play with the big black dogs here, but they always miss me!" The little girl giggled, "But recently, the big dogs have all hidden, and I'm so bored."

It made Paimon shudder.

The big black dog, could it be a beast hound?

This little girl...can't be...can't be...

"Ghost?" Ying pondered.

Then she saw the little girl run away and take out an exquisite doll with long hair and red clothes.

Jiang Yi held the doll's hand.

Ying blinked and found that the little girl suddenly disappeared.

"This...what is going on?" Paimon didn't understand.

"A miner who once disappeared in the Abyss always carried a doll with him. He bought it for his daughter with his hard-earned wages. Later, the doll was accidentally lost underground." The doll in Jiang Yi's hand seemed to move in Ying's eyes.

"There used to be a 'wishing stone' in the Layered Abyss, which is a crystal fragment. Although the light of this stone would make ordinary people uncomfortable, for objects..."

The doll in his hand is a spiritual creature.

Such as the funeral god of Inazuma.

Here it can perhaps be called a spirit of things.

This spirit actually protected the miner under the abyss.

The inscription above expresses the wish of the miner's daughter many years ago, which was to find her father and see him return safely.

This is the "gift from the abyss".

For mortals, this is undoubtedly a miraculous dream.

"I thought it was a ghost story, but I didn't expect it to be so heartwarming..." Paimon breathed a sigh of relief.

The three men moved forward and found the miner.

"Thank you, thank you! I don't know how my daughter is doing. She has been in the rock for so long, but I didn't expect the doll is still intact." The miner happily took the doll and said, "I hope my daughter won't dislike it when I give it to her."

"Your daughter is now working at the General Affairs Department of Liyue, and she is very busy every day." Jiang Yi said with a smile. The miner in front of him looked much better than those Fatui. "I still have to find other people, so you can follow us first!"

His magic power surrounds the opponent, restoring his physical and mental strength.

"It's amazing." The miner felt it, "It's like being blessed by the Rock King."

Ying and Paimeng smiled but said nothing.

Come to a new place.

In Zhiqiong's annotation, this place was named "underground water marsh".

The waterfall flows and the pool water is cool and clean.

"In the abyss of rocks, there is such a relaxing place. It feels like all the bad luck from the black mud along the way has been washed away." The miner couldn't help but speak.

"Wow! These are elemental creatures I don't recognize." Paimon looked at the elemental creatures that were moving slowly and peacefully beside the water.

It is cuter than the floating spirit, floating in the air, with a jellyfish-like blue hat and a round body with eyes underneath.

He had a gentle temperament and did not attack when people approached him.

Very rare.

When Ying's hand touched the other person, he turned and the other person started to spin in circles.

"This is... the mushroom beast of Xumi." Jiang Yi looked at the elemental creatures wandering around, "Specifically, it can be called a floating water mushroom beast."

"This... is this considered a species invasion of Xumi?" Paimeng's mind was full of ideas.

boom!

The floating mushroom beast spit out a bubble, trapping Paimon.

Make a cheerful sound.

This scene seemed familiar; Yandora had done the same thing before.

"Wow!"

"It wasn't me who bullied you just now?" Paimon struggled out of the bubble angrily, suspecting that he was affected by Ying's behavior just now.

"No! Maybe they are just playing with you?" Ying laughed, "After all, you are the only one flying in the air here!"

"According to scholars' research, this is a spore creature with a certain level of intelligence and a strong ability to adapt to the environment." Jiang Yi touched a floating water mushroom beast.

Soft.

"According to research, it tastes terrible, but because it is rich in water, it can also be an emergency water source."

The floating water mushroom beast in front of him was stunned for a moment, then retreated in fear.

"It goes well with emergency food!" Ying remembered an old joke.

"Bastards! You two!" Paimon stomped his feet.

Jiang Yi felt the surrounding environment. All the water in Teyvat contained water elements, but just like the uneven distribution of earth energy and the concentration of water elements varied, the difficulty of the water elements contained in the water was also different in different environments.

The water that ordinary people drink has very low element content.

Even if there is an elemental reaction, there won't be much damage.

In fact, to determine whether the water element content in the water is high, you just need to look at whether there are water element creatures around, such as slime, this kind of mushroom beast, or luminous plants.

The water element in this underground water has a very high element content.

And the aquatic plants in the water are also rich in water elements.

Elemental creatures can eat this aquatic plant to increase their strength.

Of course, it can also be used to make elixirs.

"It can also be called 'water-attributed spiritual herb'?" Jiang Yi smiled, but without a good stomach, eating this kind of medicine would be like taking poison for a mortal.

This is not a water plant that can grow in a normal environment. It contains more energy than the water plants in the Inazuma Sea.

The water element content of some aquatic plants can be called terrifying.

"There was a very pure and huge energy that affected the water source... Some water plants even have the potential to develop consciousness and become elemental creatures like the Deception Flower or the Frost Tree." Jiang Yi reached into the water to study it. "Hedifu should like this place."

Sugar probably will, too.

This is of great value to scholars who study biology.

His eyes caught sight of a rock dragon lizard in the water and the earth veins. The rock dragon lizard had the power of water on its body and seemed to be preparing to eat the water plants nearby, but was startled by the noise of the crowd and so it peeked underground.

Jiang Yi pulled out a water plant. After leaving the water, the water element on the water plant continued to flow away. If you want to make an elixir, you must preserve it specially.

Zhang Koukou used part of it.

Experience the medicinal properties of aquatic plants carefully.

"The power of the star?" Jiang Yi thought of the star in the legend that made the abyss ore grow.

As for the "Frost Sky Nail" and the "Heavenly Star", Jiang Yi does not have sufficient evidence to equate them.

He stood up and grabbed a mushroom beast in his hand.

In his eyes, the mushroom beast's body structure began to decompose, and every inch of its body tissue revealed a mystery.

The mushroom beasts of Xumi are magical.

Body tissues will change under different external elements, especially under the elements of fire and thunder. After death, the tissues left behind are different from those killed by weapons or other elements.

Will inactivate dormancy.

Then, it can easily multiply in large numbers.

"Reproduction, nurturing..." Jiang Yi looked at the mushroom beast. This was not one of the 72 magical powers.

After some research today, I discovered the magic of mushroom beasts.

Scholars of the Xumi School once had a long-lasting debate on whether mushroom beasts belonged to plants or animals. In the end, the two schools reached a settlement and listed mushroom beasts separately from plants and animals and stopped discussing them.

The body tissue formed by the mushroom beast affected by lightning and fire is the sclerotium, which is the source of its ability to reproduce in large quantities and cannot be used commercially.

As for other methods, the body tissue obtained is "spores". The fluorescent mushroom spore powder is a common medicinal material in Xumi and is often packaged in paper and sold by merchants.

Jiang Yi recalled the Xumi books he had read.

The spore powder of a mushroom beast is taken intact from the spore sac and, under suitable environmental conditions, can give birth to a fairly large mushroom beast colony.

If it is bred by sclerotium, the speed is extremely fast.

"Transforming oneself into spores, or sclerotia, or hyphae... I didn't expect it to be so difficult." Jiang Yi felt a sense of challenge. The transformation of this special life form is much more difficult than turning into animals or plants.

But once successful, the mysteries involved will be enough to promote the progress of many related laws.

He took another big step towards becoming the original.

"Bacteria, fungi, slime molds... these ancient microorganisms... are the basis of the forest ecosystem." Jiang Yi was fascinated by them.

Scholars believe that mushroom beasts evolved the ability to move in order to spread their spores over a wider area.

The poet said that in the common dream of mushrooms, spores covered the mountains and the ocean, and the world was extremely peaceful. The mushrooms evolved into fish, beasts, birds, humans and gods... They lived on rain, land and companions who returned to the land.

Ying and Paimeng looked at Jiang Yi who was immersed in his research with twitching lips.

The mushroom beast in the opponent's hand was completely frightened and stunned.

"Lao He, is that you? Lao He?" The miner found a person nearby.

“...Hehe, mushroom meat...Hehehe...Mushroom meat, delicious...Hehehe, mushroom meat..." A miner walked over silently and nervously.

"Have you finished your food? You are trapped here with me!" He was obviously a middle-aged man, but his hair and beard were gray, and his sloppy face had red eyes that stared straight at everyone.

"My ears are itchy, my ears are itchy... I ate mushroom meat and I feel stronger."

"Lao He? Lao He?" The miner shook the other man, "I'm Qi Ding!"

"Don't shake it, don't shake it. I can't hear you." Lao He scratched his ears with his hands. After a long time, he finally heard clearly, "Are you Qi Ding? That's great. Did you find the toy you wanted to give to your daughter?"

"Do you want to eat mushroom meat? I'll take you to eat mushroom meat!"

"After eating mushroom meat, the mushrooms will talk!"

"Look, mushroom meat, lots of mushroom meat..."

Jiang Yi finally raised his head and looked in the direction.

There is a row of mushrooms on the ground, their color is close to gold, their caps are shaped like five-pointed stars, and they emit blue light.

"Star mushroom?" He thought about it and found the scientific name of this mushroom.

This is a fungus with very tenacious vitality. When it matures, the center of the cap will crack.

Like other mushrooms, spores too fine to be seen by the naked eye spurt out like a rain of dust.

"Jiang Yi, is this person weird? Is he sick?" Paimeng looked at him for a long time and felt that he might have been poisoned by mushrooms.

"This kind of mushroom can indeed cause mental disorders if consumed for a long time. His ears are itchy because the mushroom spores have entered the ear canal. In other words, mushrooms are growing in the ears." Jiang Yi took a look and determined the problem.

By the way, eat a mushroom yourself.

The miner was horrified: "Didn't they say we can't eat it?"

"Yes!" Jiang Yi nodded. "I was wondering, if I am infected by fungi, can I turn into a mushroom?"

"Oh no, your companion has also gone mentally ill." Qi Ding looked at Ying anxiously, wanting to snatch the mushroom from Jiang Yi's hand.

Jiang Yi chewed the star mushroom and felt that the taste of the mushroom was a little familiar.

There was no way this was included in the potion Lisa gave me before!

"It's okay! He's just studying mushrooms." Ying's words calmed the miner down a little.

Yes, the other party said that mushrooms are harmful only if eaten for a long time. If you only eat one, you shouldn't become mentally ill so quickly.

"Good research material, Ying, please help bring Lao He to Haidifu! He will provide free treatment." Jiang Yi did him a favor.

Few people have problems after eating star mushrooms, which makes it suitable for study by scholars of the vitalism school.

The other party also had tools to clean the fungus and medicine to restore the disordered nerves. It was just that it would take a little time for Lao He to recover completely.

"He is Jinwu's senior. You can send him to the ground after treating him! The pensions for Huishan Hall and Shenglu Hall have already been paid, and the funeral at home has also been handled. His family should be very happy when he returns this time." Jiang Yi was good at reasoning and calculating, so Ying and Paimeng were not surprised by what he said.

But, is this guy trying to get me away?

It happened so suddenly, and I was asked to send someone off.

"Okay!" Ying and Paimeng nodded.

Jiang Yi ate mushrooms and looked at the jade slip.

"I've arrived at Stratum Crusade..." The sender is Xiao.

"Wait a moment, I will bring the last people underground up." Jiang Yi found Hedif's contact information.

There is a proverb in Xumi: "The favors of others are more valuable than gold."

In order to make it easier to steal someone's girlfriend, no! To make it easier to contact him, he gave the other person a jade slip.

Now I am sending a message, hoping that the people leading the exploration team will go up and rest for a few days and not go down to the rock layer.

Since Xiao can’t wait any longer, speed up your progress!

The research here will be done later.

Waving his hands at the mushroom beast that was moving away from him, mushrooms began to grow in Jiang Yi's palms.
