Chapter 326: Fungus Man's Perseverance
The fungus man initially thought that he was dead, with a look of grief on his face, but he did not expect that things would develop in such twists and turns that he could not keep up at all.

Its heart is somewhat broken.

However, when he thought about how he was saved, the fungus man became ecstatic again.

However, the joy did not last long, as it suddenly met the gaze of that strange and powerful human.

The fungus man's body froze uncontrollably.

It tried to force a smile to show its harmlessness and flattery, but found that the muscles on its face did not obey it at all.

In the end, it could only face the human helplessly with a wooden face.

The sadness in my heart is about to turn into a river.

……

This human won’t eat it, right?

However, it clearly told the monster, which looked very ferocious, not to eat it.

Seeing that the monster that scared him so much just now was completely helpless against that human, the fungus man suddenly looked up to the human in front of him.

As afraid of Taotie it was before, it now admires Xiao Xiao.

……

The fungus man still shudders when he thinks of the look the other party gave him before.

It’s so scary, a terrifying feeling as if I’m about to be eaten.

With this ferocious monster behind it, the white monster before it was really much kinder.

……

Feeling that his limbs had finally regained some sensation, the fungus man defied Xiao Xiao's gaze and tried to dig around, but his movements were synced and his stiffness was evident.

After finally finding his own mushroom, the mushroom man almost burst into tears. He used all four limbs to hug the mushroom's stem.

The familiar feeling alleviated some of the fear in the fungus man's heart.

The mushroom man closed his eyes to deceive himself, pressed his face tightly against the mushroom stem, and pretended that he knew nothing.

……

Xiao Xiao looked at the mushroom that was held by the fungus man. It seemed to be the one that was held by the fungus man before.

Putting aside Xiao Xiao's abnormal memory, this mushroom is a size larger than the other mushrooms in the bag, and most people would not make a mistake.

Is this the mushroom from the fungus man?
Xiao Xiao curled the corners of his mouth in amusement.

……

Mushroom people are born with mushrooms.

To use the words in the novel, this mushroom is its natal mushroom.

However, it is not as exaggerated as described in the novel. After the mushroom dies or is picked, the mushroom man will become weaker and weaker and eventually die.

Of course, there is definitely damage.

And it is not small, it will almost make the fungus man's cultivation fall to the level when he was first born.

However, as long as the fungus man chooses another mushroom to establish a companion relationship with it, his cultivation will slowly recover.

But this takes a very long time.

During this time, who knows what will happen?
Therefore, mushroom growers cherish and care for their mushrooms very much.

……

Xiao Xiao guessed that the mushroom man must have been taken away because he was grabbing his mushrooms.

So now it's in the bag.

What a reckless act.

If it were cooked together with the mushrooms, there would be no place to cry.

……

Xiao Xiao reached out and took out the mushroom.

The mushroom man suddenly felt that his body was suspended in the air. He was extremely panicked, but he didn't dare to open his eyes. He could only hug his mushrooms tightly.

It looks firm as if the mushroom is there, and it will stay there.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but laugh.

He placed the mushrooms gently on the table.

The fungus man was startled by the sudden feeling of reality under his feet.

But he soon realized that he had "landed".

The feeling of being grounded gives it peace of mind.

It couldn't help but carefully and slowly opened its eyes, and immediately saw the human opposite.

Look at it with a smile on your face.

The fungus man was petrified again.

So close.

so big.

Humans are indeed scary creatures.

The fungus man's mind was like a boiling pot of boiling water, with all kinds of random thoughts mixed together, making his head feel a little swollen and painful.

……

Looking at the fungus man with wide eyes and motionless, Xiao Xiao stretched out his finger with amusement and poked the other's head with his fingertips.

It’s really a small one.

Just like the Thumb Man in the fairy tale.

As a result, the fungus man sat down on the ground with a "thump", his face still showing a dazed expression.

Xiao Xiao was also a little surprised. Was he still too strong?

Seeing that the fungus man didn't look like he had come to his senses yet, Xiao Xiao spoke softly. His originally clear voice became a little hoarse because he deliberately lowered it, making him seem a little gentler.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you,"

……

The fungus man looked at Xiao Xiao in a daze. His hairstyle, which looked very similar to a mushroom, made Xiao Xiao try hard to hold back his laughter.

There was still a hint of smile in his eyes.

Looking at it this way, they really look like two mushrooms, one big and one small.

……

"Cuckoo~"

The mushroom man made a sound unconsciously, a voice that was childish yet a bit sharp, but it seemed to be frightened by itself and suddenly shrank behind the mushroom.

After Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment, the smile in his eyes became more obvious. He looked at the upright mushrooms and couldn't help but feel a little impressed by the unexpected strength of the mushroom man.

However, the fungus man is a monster.

Other abilities aside, this strength is something that should be possessed.

……

"Hello, little guy, my name is Xiao Xiao."

Xiao Xiao smiled and introduced himself.

The mushroom man, who was only two-thirds the height of the mushroom stem, hid behind the stem and was completely blocked.

Hearing Xiao Xiao's voice, which was gentle and clear, like the spring breeze in March, without a trace of aggression or hidden malice, the fungus man didn't seem so scared anymore.

After hesitating for a while, the fungus man carefully moved out one eye and glanced at Xiao Xiao cautiously.

Xiao Xiao did not deliberately try to narrow the distance between the two.

The fungus man slowly raised his head, but unexpectedly met Xiao Xiao's lowered eyes.

The fungus man wanted to lower his head quickly, but accidentally looked into Xiao Xiao's eyes.

There seemed to be a light flickering inside, dotted with sporadic smiles.

The fungus man paused as he was about to avoid the gaze.

It found that it liked this human a little.

Because he has a pair of eyes full of stars.

As for mushroom people, they like to sit on the mushroom cap and admire the stars at night.

Even if there are only a few stars by chance, it will still make it dazzled.

The stars in the night sky have an irresistible charm.

……

"Little guy, do you want this mushroom?"

Xiao Xiao poked the mushroom behind which the fungus man was hiding, and not surprisingly saw the fungus man's eyes suddenly widen.

He knew that even if the mushroom was picked, as long as there was a mushroom guardian, the mushroom could take root in the tree trunk again and grow again.

So, even though this mushroom has been picked, put into a bag, and even traveled a long distance before finally reaching his hands, the mushroom man has never thought of giving up this mushroom.

Because this is its own unique mushroom.
