Chapter 128 Night of the Mushroom Forest

As Pannis guessed, when the figure of the third lady Moonlight fell into the end of the desert, the world of the dead fell into absolute darkness. Under the sky without stars and moons, all the sights were covered in the night. There was no desert, no lake, and no night sky. There was only the bonfire still burning, guarding the only light in the darkness.

The fire has weakened a lot, and the range of light has shrunk to a very small circle between the mushroom forests by the lake. Huge mushrooms appear faintly under the reflection of the bonfire, making it difficult to see the whole picture clearly. More than a dozen undead spirits were not at all alert, and lay down on the ground next to the fire. After a day of work, they played for the whole night after dinner. According to their own words, although they did not have physical strength, they were already very tired. After lying down, they entered a deep sleep. These undead spirits slept very comfortably because in the world of the dead, no living creatures can threaten their safety except the undead themselves. Therefore, the weak undead spirits, similar to civilians, do not know what danger is, and they do not know what vigilance and guard mean. As long as the position is comfortable enough, they can fall asleep peacefully, just like now.

The undead's sleeping style is also very distinctive. They did not intend to build a camp. Instead, they chose a mushroom more than one meter tall next to the fire, drilled directly into the bottom of the umbrella cover, dug a sand nest suitable for them on the sand, and then lie in comfortably. For skeleton mushrooms, if they grow more than one meter high, the umbrella cover is already very large, at least more than the length of an adult. Therefore, the sand nest and mushroom umbrella cover are like a natural room. The only disadvantage is that they are airtight on all sides. However, in the mushroom forest next to the Sand Lake, the wind everywhere in the desert has weakened a lot. Even a wild desert storm will slow down here, so resting in such a breathable natural room will not be affected too much.

However, the undead can sleep peacefully without any scruples, but the members of the adventure group will not do this. In a completely unfamiliar environment, there are a group of completely unfamiliar aliens. As long as everyone's mind is still normal, they will never do such a thing. Moreover, as humans, the members of the adventure group are not used to sleeping directly in the sand like the undead. Therefore, the girls rejected the invitation from the undead to help them organize their natural rooms and chose other ways to camp.

The way of choosing the adventure group is also very interesting. After all, this is the first time to spend the night in a similar environment. No one has any experience. Moreover, this time, because he set out lightly and did not carry a tent, he could only use materials locally. So, Panis's eyes focused on the most conspicuous skeleton mushroom. Choose a skeleton mushroom that is seven or eight meters high. The umbrella cover of this mushroom is nearly ten meters in diameter. Climb to the gentle slope on the top of the skeleton mushroom, cut off a piece of the outermost wooden shell with a weapon, and then hollowed out part of the bacteria inside. A soft leeward bed was built. When you crawl in and lie down, you can feel as comfortable as if you were padded with a goose quilt. The bacteria around him continued to emit a faint fragrance, making people feel as if they were in a sea of ​​flowers.

Of course, the strength of the skeleton mushroom is not very high. The umbrella cover with a diameter of ten meters can withstand at most one or two people. Fortunately, the adventure group includes only eight people, and there are enough skeleton mushrooms in the mushroom forest for everyone to use.

The fuel in the bonfire was getting less and less, and the fire became weaker and weaker. Gradually, the inhabited mushrooms were sank into the darkness one by one. In the darkness, only the girls breathed evenly, one breathing one after another, long and slow, which meant that the girls had entered a peaceful sleep. Of course, the girls could not fall asleep without any warning. The reason why everyone could be so comfortable was that the first class of vigil was holding their chins and sitting cross-legged on the umbrella of a mushroom, hiding themselves in the darkness, with only two eyes shining Panis.

Panis took the initiative to ask for the first vigil. In the past, as the only male in the adventure group, he always ranked himself in the second shift. After all, being called to watch the night when he was sleeping the most is not a happy thing, so male members of adventurers often give female members some small care in this detail, which can be regarded as a gentlemanly side. However, today, Panis changed his previous habits and ranked himself in the first shift. It is not surprising to everyone at all. After all, there are too many strange things happening today. As the only member who has been to this world, these strange things have the greatest impact on him. In any case, he needs some time to sort out his ideas or calm his mood.

"Swoosh", in the darkness, Panis waved his hand gently, and the few cork shells that he had peeled off dripping through an arc and landed accurately in the bonfire, injecting a little new vitality into the dim bonfire. Staring at the re-provoked flame, Panis was silent for a long time and sighed with unknown meaning.

A rustling sound came from behind Panis, followed by the umbrella under him and someone jumped behind him. Without looking back, Panis already knew who it was. Whether it was the amplitude of the umbrella vibration or the faint metal smell coming from behind, it pointed out the only candidate. Catherine, who had been wrapped in scale armor for many years, could not get rid of the metal breath that had penetrated into her skin even after taking off the scale armor. Panis only needed to take a deep breath to discover her identity.

"Why haven't you been sleeping yet? You are here to guard the second night. You don't have to rest yet. Be careful when you are on the night watch." Panis asked with his back to Catherine, "Are you worried that I will run away at night."

"Ha, don't make trouble. I've been here. If we don't go back, you will never be able to escape." Catherine slapped Panis a few times behind her back to show punishment, and then sat down behind him. The two of them supported each other with their backs. The Knight girl leaned back on Panis's shoulder and said softly: "Suddenly I can't sleep, get up and move."

"What?" Sniffing the familiar smell coming from behind, Penis's expression slowly softened, and he asked in a low voice: "Are you worried?"

"Nothing big." The knight girl shook her head, and her long black hair swept across Panis's side face: "This world is where you have fought. I couldn't calm down when I thought of Lord Neri once galloping on this desert, and when you once commanded the strong to defeat countless undeads."

"Haha, that's all the past." Panis shook his head and laughed: "Also, we haven't reached our former landing location yet."

"The past is happening..." Catherine said quietly, "Tell me, I'm very curious, what happened when you face the gods, and what does the gods look like?"
