Chapter 70 The Hospitable Red Mushroom Town

Luo Xiu and the others stared at the mushroom-covered corpse for a long time.

I couldn't figure it out at all.

Like Luo Xiu, Leila hadn't heard much about Kanriel, so naturally she didn't know.

Tassanya had visited Red Mushroom Town before.

However, her account was not much different from Milair's.

According to her, when she came here before, although she didn't look around closely, Red Mushroom Town seemed like an ordinary-looking town.

Apart from the fact that the people in town seemed to really like mushrooms, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

Luo Xiu asked Tassanya to find a stick and poked the red mushrooms on the corpse.

The mushrooms fell off with a single poke and scattered all over the ground.

It won't grow back once it falls off.

"Master, let me give it a try."

Tassanya stepped forward and volunteered to touch the mushroom that had fallen to the ground.

The moment her hand touched the mushroom, it suddenly seemed to come alive, sprouting many tiny, constantly moving red roots from under its stem, which then burrowed into Tassanya's skin.

A layer of red flames immediately ignited on Tassanya's palm.

The red mushroom turned to ashes in an instant.

Luo Xiu became interested when he saw this scene.

He drew his dark broadsword and slashed at the mushrooms that had fallen to the ground several times.

No system notification sound was heard.

Isn't it a monster?

Luo Xiu had Tassanya conduct several more experiments, and even when the mushrooms were destroyed as they grew roots, there was still no system notification sound.

It's probably not a monster.

What would it be?

As Luo Xiu was pondering the possibilities, a small old man dressed as a beggar, his entire body wrapped tightly in tattered hemp, walked out of the gate, carrying a burlap sack on his back, and approached Luo Xiu and his companions.

Just in time.

Luo Xiu happily raised his head, intending to ask him about the situation in Red Mushroom Town.

Unexpectedly, when the old man saw Luo Xiu, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he abruptly dropped the burlap sack and took off running towards the town, shouting as he ran:

"Someone's here! Someone's coming!"

what's the situation?

Luo Xiu was puzzled.

With a light step, he caught up with the old man in a few strides, gently grabbed his shoulder, and laughed:

"Sir, I am from out of town and would like to ask for directions."

Unexpectedly, the old man didn't even look at him; he just kept shouting towards the town:

"Someone's here!! I saw them!! It's my fault!!!"

Luo Xiu was even more confused; it sounded like he had stumbled into a bandit's den.

He was just about to take a slightly tougher approach.

Unexpectedly, the next second, a burst of excited cheers erupted in front of me.

As if by magic, the previously closed doors on the wide avenue opened one by one, and groups of people rushed out, instantly filling the entire avenue.

They included men and women, young and old, and their only commonality was that they were all covered from head to toe in thick burlap, wrapping themselves up tightly with only their heads showing.

These people were holding all sorts of utensils.

At first, Luo Xiu thought it was a weapon.

But upon closer inspection, it turned out to be various pots, pans, oil, salt, and spices.

Many of the seemingly strong men were even carrying an open-air stove.

Soon, they lit a fire and started the furnace.

The people who ran out of the door were actually cooking on the street.

moment,

The once lifeless town has become bustling with activity, and the aroma of food fills the entire street.

The people cooking kept glancing at Luo Xiu with great enthusiasm in their eyes, as if they were afraid he would run away at any moment.

Most of the cooks are men.

Their wives rushed towards Luo Xiu, each one beaming with smiles, revealing the few patches of skin they had exposed, their steps swaying with a graceful hip movement.

"Sir, you must have traveled a long way to Red Mushroom Town. Come and have a meal at our house."

"Sir, don't listen to him. Come to my house for a meal. I have a younger sister."

"Don't I have any? I have two older sisters and three sisters-in-law!"

What are we eating?

Luo Xiu blinked; this Red Mushroom Town was incredibly hospitable.

Ironically, the men who were cooking watched their wives working hard to attract customers, and they all had smiles on their faces.

He seemed very willing to share.

The women surrounded Luo Xiu, but were blocked by Leila and the others who arrived at the scene.

Seeing Milair's gleaming dagger, they dared not move.

But their enthusiasm didn't wane; in fact, they were even happier.

"This lady with the dagger is so cute, come to my house for dinner."

"This tall young lady looks very cute. Come to my house for dinner. I have two younger brothers."

"Who doesn't have a younger brother? My family not only has a younger brother, but also my dad!"

"You're the only one with a father? I..."

The scene before me was completely chaotic.

It looked like the women were about to start a fight.

Luo Xiu coughed twice, raised his hand, and slowly said:

"Um... I wanted to say something. I just saw someone at the entrance of town who looked like they had died. Their whole body was covered in mushrooms. Does anyone know what happened?"

Swish!

As Luo Xiu finished speaking, the entire town fell silent instantly.

Everyone's expression changed.

They stared at Luo Xiu with gloomy expressions and began to whisper among themselves.

Although their voices weren't loud, Luo Xiu could still hear a large part of them clearly.

"He saw it..."

"Damn it, how did he see it?"

"Didn't that damned old geezer clean it up? Did he oversleep again?"

"I was still thinking of pinning the blame on him. If he's really in that much pain, how can he sleep?"

Seeing that the crowd's enthusiasm had waned, Luo Xiu blinked and spoke again:

"What I meant was, if any of you could tell me what's going on."

"My companion and I can go to his house for dinner."

boom! ! !

Luo Xiu's words reignited the enthusiasm of a small group of people.

"Me me me!!!"

"Let me speak, let me speak, let's chat while we eat!!!"

But most people still had gloomy eyes. They looked at Luo Xiu, their gazes seemingly assessing whether he was as innocent as he appeared.

Finally, they left.

She retreated from Luo Xiu's side.

Along with them, their family members who cooked for them and a whole array of pots, pans, and utensils were also returned to their house.

The gate was closed again.

It returned to its quiet state.

Luo Xiu looked around at the remaining people and finally chose a woman who looked like a monkey with a pointed mouth and a monkey-like face.

The woman kept swearing at the people next to her in the Gran Continent language, verbally abusing everyone who was competing with her for customers.

Moreover, Luo Xiu remembered who her husband was, and he had the same mannerisms as her, with a fierce appearance.

While chopping with the cleaver in her hand, she accidentally cut the leg of the man cooking next door.

Most importantly, they don't wash the blood off the knife after cutting, and then they cut mushrooms on the cutting board.

Luo Xiu was very interested in the couple.

Since we've arrived in a new place, we should naturally experience the most original and culturally rich aspects of this place.

Seeing that someone had been chosen, the rest of the people became disheartened.

It was as if the light in their eyes had vanished instantly.
