Chapter 111 New Mushroom Varieties and Friends
Rhodes still remembers.

The first time I used the Moon Fountain was when the little thing was born.

Although it was just an accident, it allowed him to truly witness the power of the Moon Spring and what the water of life is.

I didn’t dare to use it before when the quantity was small, for fear that I wouldn’t be able to get it out at the critical moment.

Now that the price has suddenly increased so much, he can finally conduct experiments with confidence.

“As a professional gardener, how can I not have a spirit of inquiry into living things?”

Coming to the black mushroom, Rhodes took out the prepared Moon Spring.

In an instant, the rich breath of life filled the entire plantation, causing Augla outside to open his eyes wide.

"Lord Rhodes, you are not going to use holy water... to water these mushrooms?"

"Yeah, is there a problem?"

"Uh... no problem."

Augula shook his head, not daring to question, and squatted beside and watched.

Unexpectedly.

Rhodes suddenly looked up and looked at him with ill intent.

"If I come up with something new later, how about you help me taste it? I'll give you a small bottle of spring water as payment."

"Really?" Augula perked up.

"Can I still lie to you? It's settled then." Fearing that he might go back on his word, Rhodes made the final decision.

The last time I gave these guys a taste of the fire mushrooms, they all ran away faster than anyone else.

There is no way I can let this guy go now. I have to be his guinea pig.

Anyway, with Augla's fifth-level strength, even if he gets a stomachache, it won't hurt his body. The worst that can happen is that I can just give him some more Moon Spring to compensate him.

Think of this.

Rhodes squatted down and carefully dripped a drop of Moon Spring onto the black mushroom, then waited beside it.

One minute……

Two minutes...

three minutes……

Just when they thought it had no effect, the entire mushroom suddenly changed color rapidly from black to a variety of colorful colors.

Just like the first time Rhodes entered the dreamland, the black color that should have swallowed up all colors actually underwent an irrational change.

"Uh... that, Lord Rhodes, is it too late for me to regret now?"

Augula swallowed and took a half step back.

Poisonous mushrooms, right?
This must be a poisonous mushroom, right?

The colorful mushrooms look fishy no matter how you look at them. Will they lead you to heaven directly after you eat them?
"It's so strange, why does black turn into color? Is it because black absorbs light?"

Rhodes muttered to himself, and also felt that this mushroom was not simple. After thinking about it, he decided to let Augla go.

"Forget it, let's not eat it. It would be bad if it damages the soul. Go outside and catch two low-level black beasts."

"okay!"

Augula ran away as if he had been pardoned.

When he rushed back from outside, he was already holding two first-level giant bears in his hands, which were struggling and roaring desperately.

"Come, feed it and see."

Rhodes threw the colored mushroom directly over, and Augla caught it and stuffed it into the mouth of one of the giant black bears.

"Roar!"

The giant bear screamed and its body began to shake violently.

Black liquid even came out of his mouth, then his neck, then his back, and finally his entire body seemed to be on fire, with black mist constantly coming out.

The exaggerated reaction scared Augla so much that he threw the giant bear to the ground, fearing that it would be infected by the poisonous mushrooms.

however.

What neither he nor Rhodes expected was.

After the black gas gradually dissipated, the giant bear actually restored its original appearance and turned into a druid brown bear with lush hair!
"What is this? Melatonin?"

Rhodes was amazed as he looked at the brown bear whose black energy had been completely cleared. The effect was better than the top beauty filter in his previous life.

Do colorful mushrooms have a purifying effect?
But why can't I sense any soul breath from the brown bear?
"Something's wrong. It doesn't seem to be an ordinary purification effect."

Augula noticed something was wrong and threw the other black bear outside.

next second.

The brown bear roared and lunged directly at the black bear, and the two bears began to wrestle on the black soil.

During the battle, the breath of the black soil turned into countless tentacles, slowly wrapping around the brown bear's body.

It actually made its brown hair turn black, and it gradually transformed into a black beast.

Finally, after holding on for more than five minutes, it completely turned back into its original black beast and turned around to pounce on them.

"I understand. It's mind control! Or charm. This colorful mushroom has the effect of temporarily charm the black beast!"

Rhodes shouted in surprise.

Summons Thorn Guards to entangle the two black bears.

"Charming mushrooms?"

Augula's eyes lit up: "Doesn't that mean that if we just throw a handful of these mushrooms into the black beasts, they will kill each other?"

"That's pretty much what it means."

An unexpected surprise.

This was definitely an unexpected surprise.

Unexpectedly, the first test product would produce such a good thing, which made Rhodes even more excited about the Moon Fountain's cultivation plan.

But for now, he has to solve the problem of growing the charm mushrooms first, and it would be best if he could produce them in mass quantities.

Thinking of this, he picked another charm mushroom, cut it into several small pieces, and buried them in the square vegetable garden he had built with extra wooden boards.

This small vegetable garden is next to a canal and the soil is very soft and moist.

Moreover, Rhodes placed some purified rotten wood in it in order to plant some plants that prefer shade and humidity, and it came in handy so soon.

"I'm here to help too!"

Augla ran over and poked deep holes in the vegetable garden with her fingers to help bury the mushroom fragments.

Then he scooped a bucket of water from the nearby ditch and carefully watered them through his fingers.

As for Rhodes, he was casting cultivation magic on the side.

After reaching level 18, the range of the cultivation magic has exceeded two meters, just covering all the strains, and streams of life breath are absorbed by the ground.

[Cultivation successful, experience value +1]

[Cultivation successful, experience value +1]

[Planting successful, experience value +1]

Mushrooms are indeed very fast growing fungi.

In just half an hour, small umbrella caps had grown out of the soft soil. Seeing this, Rhode immediately changed the magic flow and switched to harvest magic.

The colorful mushroom, which was originally a single strain, began to continuously split into new strains. The efficiency was even more exaggerated than that of crops such as wheat. In a blink of an eye, it turned into a bunch of blooming mushroom strains, almost increasing seven or eight times.

"Could it be that because I leveled up, the effect of the harvest magic has also increased?"

A seven or eight-fold increase in production is already very impressive for the planting industry.

As long as these strains grow, he will have a steady supply of charming mushrooms, and he will have another means to deal with the black beast.

then.

Rod tried again using the grown mushrooms, chopping them up and continuing to grow them.

As expected, just like the flame mushrooms, the effect of the mushrooms grown for the second time was greatly reduced, and some even turned back into black mushrooms.

It seems that I will have to use the Moon Spring to cultivate the original strain in the future.

"Okay, from now on, this wetland next to the plantation will be used to grow mushrooms. Be careful not to step on them."

Rhodes stood up and brushed the dirt off his body, then warned the little ones playing nearby.

Then we entered the plantation and conducted experiments on the various plants there.

Regrettably.

Ordinary plants such as oak trees, shrubs, flowers and grasses merely grew a bit larger after absorbing the Moon Spring, and there were no additional eye-catching effects.

"It's useless to give you a chance."

Rhodes was extremely depressed. He had wasted a large bottle of Moon Spring, but ended up with nothing.

Obviously.

The growth of ordinary plants is limited.

Only those things that have spirituality can exert the effect of Moon Fountain, for example...

"Yeah!"

"Quack~"

Suddenly, the cries of little things and soul ravens were heard in the plantation.

Rhodes looked in the direction of the sound and saw them gathered under the trunk of the little Masochist tree, curiously watching the tumors hanging from the tree, and poking them gently with their fingers from time to time.

It had only been a while since I last saw it, but the tree tumor had grown a lot bigger, almost as big as a newborn human baby.

"Could it really be a tumor?"

Augula opened his mouth and walked over with Rhodes.

The Masochistic little tree is their biggest source of black fruit. If it is damaged by a tree tumor, he will be the first to object.

immediately.

Rhodes came to the plantation.

As they watched, he touched the tree knot with his hand.

"what?"

Rhodes uttered a light "eh".

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to sense a faint breath of soul inside the tree knot.

It was a bit similar to the Soul of the Jungle, but also a little different, which made him couldn't help but glance at the Masochistic little tree.

"Why do you always have weird things growing on your body?"

wow~
The small tree swayed gently.

It's like answering: I don't know.
After all, it is just a two-month-old tree baby.

Possessing spirituality, but not much.

Rhodes had no choice but to continue looking at the tree tumor.

Then he thought of something and suddenly took out the remaining bottle of Moon Spring from his space ring, eager to try it out.

"Lord Rhodes, are you going to use holy water to feed this tumor?"

Augula immediately guessed what he was thinking and couldn't help but speak.

"Correct."

Rhode nodded seriously: "Since there is soul energy, it should be able to absorb the Moon Spring. If anything pops up later, please help keep an eye on it."

Now Alpha is trying hard to repair his soul, so he can only rely on Augla. Even if some monster appears, he can easily solve it with his fifth-level strength.

So without any further hesitation, Rhodes opened the bottle cap and dripped a drop of Moon Spring onto the tree knot.

After waiting for a while, there was no response.

Another drop.

Still no response.

Continue to increase the dosage.

Finally, after consuming half a bottle of Moon Spring, with a humming sound, the soul energy inside the tree tumor rapidly grew stronger, and in a blink of an eye it grew to the level of intelligent life.

Snapped!
The vines connecting the knot to the branch broke.

The tree tumor fell to the ground like a giant durian, scaring them all. They all stepped aside with a look of vigilance.

"Okay...it looks like something is really coming out!"

"Yeah!"

"Gah~"

Under the gaze of all eyes.

Durian... err, that's not right, the tree tumor is slowly cracking.

Just like the scene of a butterfly emerging from a cocoon in Rhodes's memory, a pair of translucent emerald green wings stretched out first, trying to push open the surface of the tree tumor.

"What a huge moth!"

Augla exclaimed, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

Next to him, Alpha appeared at some point and looked at the figure in the tree knot with a frown.

"It's not a moth, it looks like... an elf?"

what?
Not only Augla, but even Rhodes was stunned.

You tell me, is this thing growing out of this tree tumor an elf?
As if in response to their doubts, the outer shell of the tree knot was finally completely opened.

A humanoid cub with two long pointed ears appeared in sight, looking only half the size of a human.

"Oh my god! It's really an elf!"

“Is this an elf??”

Rhodes was stunned. He thought it was a durian with parasites, but unexpectedly it was the legendary elves.

Doesn't that mean.

Does the masochistic little tree have the blood of the tree of life?
"Wait a minute."

Suddenly, Rhode noticed something and stared at the elf baby's lower body: "Why is there nothing there?"

Shouldn't there be little sparrows or little oos?
On the contrary, Augula looked puzzled: "Lord Rhodes, don't you know? The elves reproduce asexually, and there are no such ugly things."
