The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 316 Burrowing Mushroom
Sylph said innocently, "I just wanted you to experience firsthand the little design details of my residence."

Moran looked at Alba, but Alba looked at Moran.

The two of them were saying the exact same thing: "Did you learn this?"

"Moran, what are you looking at Alba for? Reflect on yourself! Sylph learned all this from you!" Vasita said irritably.

Ais and Cheryl nodded in agreement.

Moran exclaimed in shock, "Alba is the real sesame dumpling! I've always been true to myself!"

"What are sesame dumplings?" Alba asked. "They sound rather cute."

"It's a dessert that's snow-white on the outside and has a pitch-black filling," Moran said.

Alba pointed at herself angrily and said, "??? I'm a little witch with outstanding talent in light magic, naturally sunny and cheerful! What do you mean by 'black inside'?"

The two argued all the way to the ground, trying to figure out who was the truly wicked one.

Cheryl looked up at the tree canopy and asked, "Our brooms are all up there, how are we going to get back?"

Moran and Alba stopped discussing the "sesame dumplings" issue and looked at Sylph.

Sylph pointed to a small tree by the field and said, "Don't worry! When we're about to go back, we'll just put a leaf from this floating tea tree in our mouths and we'll be able to float up."

Just be careful not to hold it in your mouth for too long; spit it out as soon as you reach your destination, otherwise it will keep floating upwards.

"These are leaves that can make people fly?" Moran asked in surprise.

If the Falling Blueberry is merely similar to the Falling Feather spell, and many races possess similar magic, making it not particularly rare, then any leaf that can make people fly is quite powerful.

After all, the ability to fly has always been a very rare ability.

Since they don't have wings, only top-tier experts or those possessing extremely rare flying magic items can take to the skies.

The witch's flying broomstick is an exception.

Sylph nodded and then shook her head: "It can make people fly, but you can only roughly control your forward and backward or left and right movements. The speed and trend of flying upwards are uncontrollable. If you don't spit out the leaves in time, you will really keep flying upwards."

“That could be quite useful,” Moran said.

“Sylph, is this a mutation of the tea tree? What effects will it have if we brew tea with its leaves?” Alba asked.

Bi'er suddenly burst out laughing, covering her face as she looked at Sylph: "The day Fouf drank the Floating Tea, she was tied to a vine and floated in the sky for a whole day and night. It even rained all night that day."

The thought of that scene made the others laugh as well.

"Luckily there was no thunder, otherwise you might have had to be saved by the Dean," Moran said.

Sylph still feels a chill when she thinks about it now; that day was too difficult: "So, you can't use the leaves of the Piao Piao tea tree to make tea; it's too dangerous!"

"Can I give it a try?" Alba asked, her voice trembling with anticipation.

“Wait a minute! There’s something crucial here that I haven’t told you about yet,” Sylph said.

Moran and the others looked around curiously.

The thing Sylph will focus on is definitely the mutated plants.

But this piece of land, apart from the swaying tea trees, was just soil, nothing at all, a stark contrast to the vibrant farmland next to it.

Just as they were wondering, Sylph squatted down, dug into the soil, and revealed a bright red mushroom cap.

Only then did they realize that there wasn't nothing there; there was a mushroom buried in the soil.

"What kind of mutated mushroom is this?" Moran asked. "Look closely!" Sylph said, channeling magic into the red mushroom, "Big! Big! Big!"

Then the red mushroom really did grow bigger and bigger.

It grew to half a person's height, then a person's height, then a small house's height... until it occupied the entire open space before stopping.

Moran and the others stared in awe at the giant mushroom.

At that moment, Sylph patted the mushroom-shaped pillar: "Open the door!"

A round doorway did indeed appear on the mushroom-shaped pillar. Sylph called to the still-shocked little witches, "Come on! Let's go in!"

Upon entering, I found myself in a white, cylindrical room that was completely empty, yet very large.

“We can sleep here tonight; there’s plenty of room,” Sylph said.

"This is a mutated mushroom that can grow into a house?" Moran and the others were extremely surprised.

"That's right! I call it the burrowing mushroom. Give it a little magic and it will grow."

Its interior is hollow, making it habitable, and you can open a doorway from any part of it to come out.

After it moves in, it will burrow underground to hide, and the ground will return to normal, making it very difficult for others to find it.

Sylph patted the mushroom-shaped wall and said, "Open the window!"

A round window appeared in the wall, but the outside was all dirt.

The burrowing mushroom had somehow burrowed underground.

"Once the magic power is exhausted, it will enter a dormant state and turn into the little mushroom you just saw. You can pick it up and carry it with you."

I just injected about 20 mana, enough to last until tomorrow morning.
However, if a mushroom goes dormant, it will expel its contents.

"The space inside the mushroom is quite convenient as a short-term temporary dwelling," Sylph said.

"Stop talking! Sylph, put the seed cards and the mutated planting magic on the shelves, I want to buy them!" Alba said.

This mushroom, which grows rapidly and can burrow underground to hide, is definitely a top choice for camping in the wild.

Sylph sighed, "It's not that I don't want to sell, but the dean won't let me. You can only buy them after graduation."

Moran thought to herself, "As expected."

Even her {tent card} was forbidden by the headmaster from being sold to the little witches, let alone this burrowing mushroom.

Many fifth-grade female students still use homemade leather tents and sleeping bags.

The dean wouldn't let them exploit any loopholes; he insisted they experience the hardships of wilderness survival and learn how to survive in the wild.

“I’ll buy it after I graduate! Before the witch’s house is built, I can live in a mushroom house, which is much safer and more secluded than a tent, and I can get a good night’s sleep,” Alba said.

The other little witches all agreed.

Moran even considered planting one. It was indeed safer than a regular tent and easier to carry. The key point was that, as Sylph said, the magic consumption wasn't particularly high, making it affordable for short-term stays.

“This is all that’s worth seeing in my residence, what do you think?” Sylph asked expectantly, awaiting their feedback.

“That’s amazing!” Moran said. “I even think it’s comparable to my valley, but it’s a completely different style.”

Vasita was already half-gone: "I guess I can't beat you."

She thought Moran and Sylph's residences were both exceptionally well-built!
Although she felt that her place was not bad, it was worlds apart from theirs.
