Angel always thought the Doreen Flower Garden was quiet, but at this moment, he realized the so-called quietness was just on the surface. The emotional signals floating above the mushroom forest were as noisy as a large chat room.
Moreover, the way mushrooms communicate with each other was particularly rule-abiding.
One sentence at a time.
This made Angel feel as if he had logged into a gathering place called “Mushroom Forum.”
It wasn’t just the abundance of emotional signals that was usual; Angel had recently sensed a lot of emotions near the Star Pool Ruins and was accustomed to it. However, the emotions emitted by these mushrooms were different; they were not only numerous but also all about Angel.
More precisely, about Shava.
“I have already felt it, that noble aura is approaching!”
“I feel like I’m about to bloom.”
“Don’t bloom, keep your dirty mouth shut. Highness Shava wouldn’t want to see a lower-class mushroom with a mouth full of sharp teeth and stinking saliva, don’t bring down our mushroom standards!”
“Yes, act calm! Maybe Highness Shava will caress me like he did the Bone-Chewing Mushroom!”
“More than the Bone-Chewing Mushroom, I envy those runaway Mystlight juveniles. Not only did they escape punishment, but they also met Highness Shava. And the most important thing is… Highness Shava even took them with him. How envious!”
“I too want to be a follower of Highness Shava! Praise the Queen, praise Shava!”
These were just some of the emotional signals Angel sensed, and it was precisely because he perceived the entire mushroom forest’s adulations that his expression was so peculiar.
This feeling, it’s like a warrior solemnly thinking he’s walking on the edge of darkness, about to face demons lurking in the Abyss. Little did he know, what emerged from the Abyss was not demons, but a rainbow and a nursery rhyme.
Angel shook his head, casting aside the bizarre emotions in his heart, and thought to himself: These mushrooms are flattering Shava, which is none of my concern.
Moreover, the more one is numbed by these words, the more likely one is to overlook potential dangers.
Angel remembered clearly, there was a slight unease in his heart when he stepped into this territory. Such unease definitely did not arise without reason.
After discarding thoughts of diverging paths, Angel became vigilant again, while considering the beneficial aspects of these emotions.
From the extensive dialogues in the ‘Mushroom Forum,’ it is evident that the wisdom of the mushrooms is uneven. Not all are low; some are as wise as Bee Blair.
However, no matter how high their wisdom, these mushrooms showed no reaction in front of Shava. Perhaps, this is what the mushrooms refer to as ‘staying calm’.
This somewhat relieved Angel. If a large number of mushrooms had followed him all the way, talking, he really wouldn’t know what to say.
From some of the mushrooms’ words, it’s clear they can be aggressive, like the ‘mouthparts’ filled with sharp teeth they mentioned in their conversation. Angel didn’t think they were just for show, but they just hadn’t revealed them in front of him.
If someone else had fallen into the Doreen Flower Garden, it might not have been as calm as it is now…
Indeed, the creatures of the Nightmare Plane, even seemingly harmless mushrooms, are not to be underestimated.
Besides, Angel also received a piece of information about the origins of the three little ones following at his feet.
They were indeed Mystlights, and the reason they followed him was because they ran away from home? Why they fled home is not important; as for where this “home” is, Angel is not curious. Even if he really knew the location, he would walk around it, since he has already made up his mind to abduct these three little ones.
Angel continued to walk forward, perceiving the ongoing conversations in the Mushroom Forum while searching for the human controlled by the Mystlights.
Among these numerous conversations, Angel noticed some discordant voices.
This discord referred to some information unrelated to Shava among a crowd of praises for her.
“The hot wind coming from your side makes me feel so comfortable all over, fantastic! I can greet Highness Shava in my most beautiful posture now!”
“You are lucky to be able to see the noble Highness Shava. I might not see him, after all, with that dirty fellow here, Highness Shava will definitely not come…” After a sigh, it received comfort from the surrounding mushrooms.
Upon hearing this conversation, Angel suddenly stopped in his tracks.
“Dirty fellow…” Angel muttered under his breath, repeating this description. In his memory, creatures of the Nightmare Plane always despised humans, previously Bee Blair also mentioned that humans are dirty. Could the dirty fellow they described be the human controlled by the Mystlights?
Angel didn’t know if his speculation was right, but he decided to go and check it out anyway.
He stood still and continued to perceive their conversations. Through analysis and retrieval, Angel quickly confirmed the location of the mushroom corresponding to the source of the emotions.
As he moved towards the target, Angel heard some strange content in their conversation again.
“Has he already reached the end stage?”
“Yes, otherwise I wouldn’t have moved nearby. Just didn’t expect that shortly after moving here, the noble Highness Shava would descend. Had I known, I would have moved a few days later.”
“In a few days, there will be no place for you here.”
“True, this is a difficult choice… Ah! I feel it, that noble aura is moving this way!”
“Eh? Highness Shava is actually heading towards you!”
Watching the conversation lean towards a known direction, Angel quickly blocks it out.
From their conversation, Angel gathers some information, uncertain of its usefulness. It’s evident that although the mushrooms verbally express disdain for ‘dirty beings,’ they gather around when these beings are in their final stages.
Angel is unaware of what this ‘final stage’ entails, but if ‘dirty beings’ indeed refers to humans, this term, signifying the end of an era, is surely not a good omen.
As he approaches, Angel notices anomalies. The mushrooms around him grow denser; their caps nearly intertwining, leaving hardly any gaps.
The surrounding temperature is rapidly rising, and the activity of fire elements in the air is even more intense than before.
Gusts of hot air blow through the mushroom clusters, each gust carrying away a myriad of floating sparks. For the flame-loving mushrooms, this is a delight, but for Angel walking the path, each gust feels like a baptism of fire magic.
Amidst this relentless barrage of flames, Angel reaches the previously discordant mushrooms.
