Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

The girl's eyes narrowed involuntarily.

Over the years she has served as a guide, she has led many adventurer teams and encountered this situation many times.

It was probably some noble young master who came to Kanriel with his servants, and he was so excited to see the monster for the first time.

They fantasize about slaying monsters and becoming a great hero in fairy tales.

But this situation will only lead to big trouble in the end.

Seeing that Luo Xiu was surrounded by women, the girl became even more convinced of her guess.

"Mr. White."

The girl spoke in a serious tone:

"I need to confirm with you again that you will abide by these three things, right?"

"Uh... of course."

Luo Xiu was taken aback, then nodded vigorously:

"My companions and I are determined to comply."

The girl nodded.

Regardless of whether Luo Xiu was just making excuses for her, he had saved her life, so she would make the trip no matter what.

The group set off.

On the way, as usual, Luo Xiu wanted to ask the girl about Kanriel.

But when he got to the point of speaking, he realized he didn't know how to address the girl.

"Um, I don't know how to address you, Miss?"

"Nika."

The girl spoke succinctly and didn't say much, just kept hurrying forward.

“Miss Nika, I’d like to ask about Kanriel.”

Luo Xiu spoke up.

"I've heard that Kanriel is most famous for its warlocks and mushrooms. I've seen the mushrooms, but I don't know much about why this city is called the City of Warlocks. If you could, could you tell me?"

Luo Xiu noticed that the girl paused briefly when she heard the word "warlock".

"The City of Warlocks, as the name suggests, has the best warlock academy in the entire kingdom, and not just one. It is a paradise for warlocks."

The girl slowly spoke:

"Only the most talented and gifted warlocks are allowed to study at the two warlock academies in Kanriel."

"If one can graduate with honors from the Sorcerer Academy, one might not necessarily lose even to those genius monsters who study in the capital."

When the girl said this, her tone fluctuated noticeably. Unlike her usual crisp and clear speech, these few words were filled with longing and anticipation.

Luo Xiu nodded, wanting to ask more questions.

But as they rounded a corner, a vast mushroom forest suddenly appeared before them.

Those colorful mushrooms grew taller than trees, and had very different shapes. Some had round tops, some were star-shaped, some were clusters of oval tops, and some were funnel-shaped.

Like giant umbrellas covering the sky, they blocked Luo Xiu and the others' path.

"This is the item that Lord Kanriel possessed; we all call it the 'Forest of Illusions'."

The girl picked up a stone from the ground and threw it forcefully into the huge mushroom forest.

In the sight of Luo Xiu and the others,

After the stone entered the mushroom forest, it simply vanished into thin air.

The scenery before me remained unchanged, as if no stones had ever been thrown in at all.

Then, the girl pursed her lips slightly and, in front of Luo Xiu and the others, slowly lifted her white dress.

Chapter 75 The Demon Bat (Thank you everyone for reading yesterday)

Luo Xiu didn't think the girl in front of him would do anything outrageous. Sure enough, Nika simply lifted her skirt up to her knees, revealing two long, gray mushrooms swaying in the wind behind her calves.

These two mushrooms are different from the red mushrooms that grew on the mushroom growers I encountered when I first entered Red Mushroom Town. Their shape is more similar to the enoki mushrooms from my previous life.

But the stems need to be longer and thinner.

The cap of the mushroom is also larger than that of enoki mushrooms.

Nika reached out and gently plucked a gray mushroom, then held its stem and softly hummed:

"Find Mom, find Mom, after finding Mom, find Dad."

"Find Daddy, find Daddy, then go find him."

"Where is he? Where is he? Little Mushroom, lead the way."

Nika was humming a cheerful nursery rhyme.

As she finished singing, the mushroom in her hand began to tremble and bounce, breaking free from her grasp.

It floated in front of her like a small spiral umbrella.

Then he strolled leisurely toward the mushroom forest in front of him.

Luo Xiu stared in astonishment at the scene before him.

This is not the power of any profession, but another kind of fantastical power belonging to this world itself.

This scene looks just like a fairy tale I once read, where a mushroom takes a girl to the place she wants to go.

“Let’s go, Mr. White.”

Nika waved to Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu nodded, and the group followed behind the gray mushroom into the Forest of Illusions.

The moment Luo Xiu entered the mushroom forest, he felt as if he had passed through an invisible barrier.

The view suddenly became much darker, as if we had suddenly been transported from daytime to dusk, when night was about to fall.

"The light in the Forest of Illusions is much dimmer than in other places."

"Although its hallucinogenic effects can keep low-level demon bats away from Kanriel City, the dim environment also provides some survival conditions for the demon bats trapped here."

Nika said.

She wanted to emphasize the danger posed by the demonic bats to prevent Luo Xiu from making any unforeseen moves:

“Those beasts originally lived in dark caves and only came out at night.”

"But in the Forest of Illusions, they can appear at any time. Although they are weaker at night, you can still be caught by them if you're not careful."

"Once you are caught deviating from the planned route, it will be very difficult to leave this Illusionary Mushroom Forest, regardless of whether you survive the Demon Bats or not."

As she spoke, Nika pointed to a spot ahead.

Luo Xiu looked at that spot, but there was nothing there.

But when he reached Nika's location, a skeleton appeared before his eyes.

In this mushroom forest, the view from every location is completely different; only the people and scenery right in front of you remain unchanged.

The skeleton lay quietly beneath a dark green mushroom, its body still clad in tattered, decaying clothing.

“He was actually only a few dozen meters away from leaving the forest, but he didn’t realize it.”

Nika pointed to the way they had come from and warned:

"So stay close and don't wander off!"

"Ok."

Luo Xiu replied with a smile.

The rest of the journey went smoothly.

Luo Xiu wanted to ask more questions about Kanriel, but worried that Nika would get distracted and lose track of the gray mushroom, so he didn't speak.

Night is gradually falling.

The already dim light became even darker; if it weren't for the faint glow emitted by some mushrooms, the group would have been groping their way forward in complete darkness.

"I need to rest for a while."

Nika spoke, putting away the gray mushrooms floating in front of her.

There was a fine layer of sweat on her forehead, her hair was quite wet, and the strands of hair at her temples clung tightly to her cheeks.

We're not even halfway there yet.

But for someone who has just woken up from a coma, this is already the limit.

She had overestimated her physical strength.

"no problem."

Luo Xiu nodded; Nika's ability to persevere this long had actually exceeded his expectations.

Although he had cast a basic healing spell once.

But after examining her closely, he realized that Nika was only at the first level.

Moreover, it's clear that this is definitely not a profession that requires physical strength.

Leila took food out of her magic pocket.

Now that we're in the Forest of Illusions, it's impossible to start a fire and cook.

The group ate some smoked jerky and thin biscuits, as well as some fruit.

Nika also took out the bag of food that Luo Xiu had given her and started eating.

During this time, Luo Xiu noticed that Nika looked in his direction several times, her gaze lingering on the two boxes of raspberries that Leila had taken out.

Luo Xiu smiled:

Would you like a box of raspberries?
