Chapter 2782: Chapter 1193

"You’re scheming? Looking for death!" Kellysha roared furiously, flames involuntarily rising all over her body, fiery dragon wings extended from her back, and she pushed off the ground with her feet, ready to soar into the air, with scorching flames also rising from her two-handed greatsword.

The mushroom person, although his hands were empty, posed an innocuous general gesture with no intent to attack.

But on his canopy, several small holes were opening, releasing dusty spores like green smoke, silently filling every space around.

Towards this unique race she had never heard of, her instincts were filled with apprehension.

Who knows if this is a toxin, with unknown effects!

"Kellysha, don’t be impulsive, this is likely a form of communication from them." A slender large hand extended from the side, forcefully pressing Kellysha back into place.

Is this the strength of a demigod?!

Kellysha’s heart was filled with undeniable shock.

Even though she hadn’t used her full force earlier, her strength wasn’t one ordinary people could counter, yet she couldn’t break free of Gaven’s strength.

In the time of delay, the spores spreading from the mushroom person had completely permeated, enveloping everyone.

"You...who are you? Where...do you come from? What...have you done to the diggers?" A slightly wooden gentle voice sounded in everyone’s hearts.

Gaven’s guess was indeed correct; the spores emitted by this mushroom person were certainly not for attack, but for communication.

These mushroom people don’t even have mouths, naturally incapable of producing sound, let alone a normal language system.

But they possess their own spore abilities, establishing a temporary telepathic connection through these perception spores.

This temporary telepathic ability differs from the psychic perception Gaven used earlier; these mushroom people themselves do not possess strong telepathic abilities.

"We come from the surface and are here to subdue these purple worms, known to you as diggers. From today onwards, they will be my divine servants, used by me, and I will be responsible for their upkeep, posing no more threat to your society." Gaven truthfully informed this mushroom person.

Although it was his first time seeing this legendary species from the Dark Domain, through the memory of the primal soul of the enlightened purple worms, he gained some understanding and recognition of this species, at least regarding the mushroom people here.

These mushroom people are generally very calm and peaceful, living self-sufficient lives.

Their sustenance mainly comes from their own cultivated mushroom gardens, they are born mushroom cultivation experts, knowing everything about mushrooms, such as the best environment, temperature, humidity for growing mushrooms, and when they reach the optimal harvest size and taste.

Apart from using them for food, they also make various items out of mushrooms.

Most of these items are suitable for themselves only.

The way these mushroom people consume is vastly different from what ordinary people understand; they don’t eat through mouths, but absorb nutrients from mushrooms directly through hyphae extending from their feet.

Usually, they do not strip the resources to the extent that leads to depletion but only absorb a small portion from the mushrooms, satisfying their needs while ensuring the mushrooms’ survival.

It’s basically the mushroom version of sodalite treants.

Those sodalite treants also don’t eat ordinary food, but can directly absorb nutrients from trees or root themselves to draw nutrients from the earth.

"Surface? Do you mean other tunnels and caves above this tunnel?" The mushroom person asked confusedly.

"By ’surface,’ I don’t mean other tunnels and caves but the land, a world no longer possessing mere soil and stone, with blue skies and white clouds, flowers, and trees!" Gaven felt as if he were describing scenery to a blind person.

Although this mushroom person wasn’t blind, living in a nearly sealed Dark Domain, he not only hadn’t seen the surface but probably hadn’t even heard of it.

As expected.

To Gaven’s words, the mushroom person stood there blankly, without reacting.

Even though the psychic whisper precisely transmitted the meaning of each word to him, it didn’t mean he understood what they meant.

Fortunately, Gaven had many tricks; seeing that words couldn’t convey the meaning clearly, he directly used a strong method, waving a hand to cast a memory projection.

This memory projection was casually selected from his previous incarnation as a giant eagle traveling through the sky, presenting the sky, land, forest, and creatures of the surface directly to the mushroom person through an aerial perspective.

"Wow...above the cave...there’s no soil anymore..."

"There’s a place in this world with such vivid colors..."

"That place where not fungi and mushrooms grow...so many peculiar and strange creatures..."

"Unimaginable...simply unimaginable...even the most bizarre mind meld illusion...has never displayed such scenes!"

More dumbfounded psychic whispers from other mushroom people came from the darkness.

Another dozen or so mushroom people, varying in size and shape, emerged from the darkness to see the memory projection Gaven created more clearly.

’The Lord’s methods remain as numerous as ever, only needing a memory projection to draw forth all the mushroom people hiding in the shadows. It seems there’s still much for me to learn!’
