I'm a mage, what's wrong with loving farming?

Chapter 128 128. Timid but Fleeing Mycelium, Butterfly Gold Mine

Grafting magic plants onto magic plants, this was something that Kloa had done more than once, but magic plants and monsters...

It's really the first time.

The first thing is to choose the right magic plant.

You need someone with strong vitality, preferably a simple character, who can deceive... No, it makes sense.

After a little thought, he focused on the fungus on the soles of his feet.

Ancient herbage fungus.

Since they could survive for so long in the desolate and cold seabed until being awakened by the power of the Mother Earth, their vitality must be extremely tenacious.

In fact, at that moment just now, he thought of Phalaenopsis.

But think about it...could Cordyceps be used as well? Although it is different from the regular version.

He bent down, reached out and gently touched the endless ancient forage fungi on the ground, extending his consciousness into them.

This strange ancient forage fungus is certainly conscious, but Cloya has never observed it carefully because the power it releases may affect him.

Of course, that was before level three.

Now that he is a third-level magician, it should not be difficult for him to figure out the consciousness of these fungi.

When he extended his consciousness inward, he indeed felt the consciousness belonging to the ancient forage fungus. The only problem was that this consciousness... was very small.

It stands to reason that the consciousness of the demonic plant should be closely related to the strength of its stellar spirit body. The stellar spirit body of the ancient forage fungus is actually very powerful.

But its consciousness is very small.

Almost too small to be noticed, it cowered in the huge body of the star spirit, looking pitiful like an underdeveloped baby.

"Why is it so small?"

Kloya didn't dare to make any big movements, but when his consciousness extended out, the other party shrank back in a flash.

Exuding a trembling consciousness——

"Don't... don't come here."

"Afraid, scared."

"I'll feed you, can you please not touch me?"

Along with this consciousness, the ancient forage grass fungus suddenly grew wildly, and it directly grew to a height of seven or eight meters... From a small green grass, it turned into a pillar-like existence.

Standing in front of him, he suddenly opened his mouth.

Croa: “…”

"what?"

Can you grow that tall?
He suddenly realized something. He seemed to have heard of some special magical beasts and plants that feed on mental power, or the so-called "soul".

Is it possible that the soul and spiritual power of ancient forage fungi are also "food"?

This strange ancient forage fungus seems to be specifically used to breed monsters, and perhaps this is really possible.

Not only can you raise beasts that eat grass, you can also raise beasts that eat souls.

After having this guess, Cloya tried to sense it, and the result was really inexplicably felt...

It smells so good.

Although it was such a small piece, it had an indescribable temptation that made him lick his lips.

As if sensing Cloya's consciousness, the poor fungus shrank even tighter and began to tremble.

"Don't……"

Consciousness can naturally affect the outside world, so its body also began to tremble.

To be honest, such a small mycelium consciousness and such a big mushroom really form a sharp contrast.

Seeing this, Croix also suppressed this desire.

"do not be afraid."

He directly conveyed his intention not to eat it and tried to comfort it for a while.

The power of the Serenade of Tranquility and the Orange Ode naturally soothed the little fungus, and it soon became less fearful.

Through this communication, Kloya was able to confirm that it definitely possessed sufficient intelligence, so he directly asked it if it could combine with the Golden Divine Butterfly.

I thought it would take some time, but this guy actually gave an answer right away:

“Is it powerful?”

"Won't you let me be eaten?"

"Can I get out of here?"

The three consecutive questions expressed its anxious mood.

The Golden Divine Butterfly is definitely strong. As a fourth-level demon insect, it cannot be said to be domineering, but at least it can dominate an area.

Naturally, it will not be eaten by humans.

Moreover, it is a flying magic insect, so of course it can fly away from here at will.

"can."

He assured: "Of course."

The consciousness of the ancient forage fungus seemed to be silent for a short while, and its originally huge body suddenly shrank and finally returned to its original shape.

It pulled itself out of the ground directly, with tiny hyphae forming its legs and feet, and it ran to Cloya's side.

Although it has no eyes, you can still feel how pitiful it is, like a puppy begging for food.

"You're actually going to leave?"

He wondered if he didn't care enough about the mycelium, so why could it walk and run?

What shocked him even more was that he wondered whether the surrounding hyphae that had been rooted obediently in the ground also felt something.

They began to wriggle densely, all pulled out of the ground and gathered around Cloya.

You know, there are more than ten acres of land here now.

So many ancient forage fungi came like a tide, revealing large areas of gray-brown land. To be honest, it was a bit scary.

"We want it too."

"Protect!"

"Safety!"

Waves of consciousness came one after another.

This was the first time that Kloya felt that the power of the Astral Body Sealing Technique was a bit annoying. It was really too much.

When these originally timid fungi discover the possibility of protecting themselves, the power they unleash is so exaggerated that it can only be described as exaggerated.

What's more, their mental strength and consciousness are actually very strong, and are probably equivalent to level four or close to level five magic plants.

Even the mental strength of the sunflower elves is like that of a weak child in front of them.

With so many of them, you can imagine how terrifying it would be when they come together.

Anyway, Croa had to work very hard to barely suppress their consciousness.

Actually, it’s not impossible. There are still more than a dozen gold-eating worms here, which is enough for more than a dozen.

But if everyone comes, it won’t be enough.

He could only think of a way to convey his meaning:
"You can do this if you want. As long as you can keep my monsters fat and strong, I promise you can take one plant every month!"

"..."

The ancient forage fungi were silent for a moment, and then immediately ran towards the chickens, ducks and sheep that were taking a leisurely walk.

Chicken, duck and sheep: “???”

Some of them might be stunned because they didn't understand the current situation, and the ancient forage fungus directly crawled onto their bodies, approached their mouths, and poked directly into their mouths.

Of course, they couldn't understand the ancient grass fungi's consciousness, nor did they understand what was going on, but Kloya heard it clearly -

"Eat us!"

"eat quickly!"

"Ahhh, I'm delicious!"

Of course, it would be a waste if they didn't eat the food that was fed to their mouths. The chickens, ducks, and sheep did not move and just let the ancient forage fungi drill into their mouths.

They just started chewing it with a swagger.

Whenever the ancient grass fungus is about to gnaw at the roots of the hyphae, it will escape and take root in the soil and grow again.

The ancient forage fungus behind will take over.

This alternation is just like assembly line feeding.

Through the Astral Body Imprinting Technique, Croa was able to discover that as long as there was a little bit of their mycelium left, they would be able to grow again.

In just such a short while, the chickens, ducks and sheep, led by the leaders of their respective groups, gathered together and lay down peacefully to enjoy the ancient forage mushrooms delivered to their doorstep.

"You guys really know how to enjoy yourself." Kloya shook his head and looked away.

This is fine, as long as they don't force it, it doesn't matter. There isn't much they can eat anyway, it just saves the effort of looking for food.

If they continue like this, they should grow quite fast.

"Try to connect it now."

Kloya reached out and touched the golden butterfly, looking at the latter's body, thinking about where to perform the magic of splicing the broken limbs.

"Or maybe on your legs, so you can draw life force from the ancient forage fungus when you land."

The golden butterfly understood what Cloya meant. The golden halo on its wings flickered, and one butterfly saluted respectfully towards Cloya.

"Just bear with the pain."

He first engraved the position of its leg joints and the ancient forage fungus he had selected to splice the broken limbs, and then he simply broke it apart with force.

A crisp sound was heard.

The poor butterfly trembled violently.

The breath on its body suddenly became weaker, even a little listless, and golden liquid flowed from its broken leg.

"Golden blood."

Kloya had an idea and took a bottle to collect the liquid, which was only a few milliliters.

Then, press the ancient forage mushroom to the location where its leg was broken.

The mycelium immediately took the initiative to wrap around its wound. In the field of view of the Star Body Imprinting Technique, one could clearly see the golden star body representing the Brilliant Golden Divine Butterfly and the emerald green star body of the ancient forage fungus combining.

After a moment, the mycelium completely poured into it, forming a shape similar to a butterfly's legs, which was a bit out of tune with the golden color of the Golden Butterfly.

[Engraving successful, Golden Divine Butterfly Legs, Ancient Grass Fungus (Broken Limbs Spliced.]

[The Golden Divine Butterfly can absorb enough vitality from the Ancient Grass Fungus to maintain its own actions, and it will also possess the abilities of the Ancient Grass Fungus.]

[This seal is applicable to all gold-eating worms, the combination of the Golden Divine Butterfly and the Ancient Grass Fungus. ]

After receiving the prompt, the Golden Butterfly landed on the ground by itself, and the ancient forage fungi on its two legs extended their hyphae and pierced into the ground.

It looked like there was an emerald green base underneath the butterfly, but nothing strange happened.

Its condition seemed to be getting very good. It flapped its wings excitedly, and golden particles and phosphorus powder floated from its wings.

Floating away in all directions.

In just a blink of an eye, the surroundings turned golden and dazzling.

Apparently, the dirt on the ground had turned to gold.
