The teacup fell in front of Hicks and shattered on the spot!
Hicks was so scared that his face turned pale!
The whole audience was silent!
Except for Alan, no one understands...
Miss Pamela, why did you suddenly get angry?
Could it be that she was enraged by Alan's suspected treason and planned to kill him without any investigation?
But if she was going to get angry, it should be directed at Alan.
Why did the teacup hit Hicks?
Pamela rubbed her fair and smooth forehead, looking a little annoyed.
"It's not Alan's fault that he wasn't on patrol last night."
Miss Pamela touched everyone's heart with just one sentence.
"I gave the order to let him go to my room."
"What are you doing in my room?"
"Hehe... a man and a woman alone meet in the middle of the night. I said we were playing chess. Do you believe me?"
Huh?! This...
Everyone looked at each other.
Except for Julie, who knew the inside story, everyone was shocked!
Could it be that this kid Alan is so incredible?
Even the narcissistic and arrogant Miss Pamela was won over by him?
Is there any woman in this world who can escape from his clutches? !
When I think about this question ...
Tao Na puffed out her chest proudly.
Others were only interested in the gossip between Alan and Pamela, but Hicks was struck by lightning!
"Alan! You beast!"
Hicks was hysterical and his face was distorted.
"What on earth did you do to the young lady last night?!"
"I answered the first question, and Pamela answered the second question for me." Allen said calmly, "Your third question has nothing to do with tracking down the mole, so I have no comment."
"Damn bastard! I'm going to kill you..."
Hicks was jealous, furious and swearing.
Alan picked his ears and ignored him.
Pamela has too many bootlickers for him to handle.
In fact, he would rather he and Pamela were innocent.
Marvin's expression was unpredictable.
Was Alan really in Pamela's boudoir last night?
Whether it is true or false is actually not important.
What’s important is that as a married woman, Pamela was willing to sacrifice her own reputation to protect Allen!
Pamela's attitude is the most important!
Since she insisted that Alan was in her room last night.
Even if others have suspicions, it is difficult to investigate further.
"I will secretly investigate the matter of the traitor."
"Today's meeting ends here. Let's go back and rest."
Marvin sighed, stood up and adjourned the meeting.
…
In the night attack, both the North and the South suffered losses.
The goal of capturing the mushroom garden was not achieved.
The North Island Warlocks and their allies temporarily withdrew.
The South Island side, after paying a heavy price in casualties, finally succeeded in defending the secret realm and gained some breathing space.
The external threat has not yet subsided, and internal troubles have arisen again.
The fierce fighting between the North and the South caused serious damage to the ecology of the mushroom garden.
The inherent barrier of the secret realm has already developed many loopholes.
The monsters living in the underdark take advantage of the situation and sneak in!
In recent days, more and more underground creatures have broken into the mushroom garden and caused trouble.
If this continues, it won’t be long before the country is flooded!
Pamela and Marvin noticed this dangerous sign.
Without bothering to track down the traitor, he quickly sent people to clean up the wild monsters.
Except for the people who patrol the mushroom circle on a daily basis, the rest of the warlocks have joined various jungle teams.
Tao Na is the captain of one of the teams.
The ten subordinates were all natural sorcerers from the Russell family, and their cultivation ranged from the late first level to the early third level.
Tao Na also invited her good friends Julie and Fei Lin to join her jungle team.
In the recent night raid, the Griffin siblings performed very well!
The brother and sister's griffin blood evolved into griffin men.
Their cultivation has both broken through the bottleneck and reached the early stage of the fourth level!
This strange story has become a hot topic in the mushroom garden, making everyone envious!
With these two powerful teammates joining her, Tao Na firmly believes that sweeping the wild monsters will be a piece of cake!
As soon as Tao Na's team left the camp, they started to tackle tough problems.
A large group of ferocious bats broke into the mushroom garden.
Occupy the mushroom forest and harass the mushroom people.
Tao Na's team received a request for help from the mushroom people and rushed to clear out the ferocious bats.
Dire bats are the most common aerial beasts in the underworld, with dark vision and echolocation.
Most of Taona's natural warlocks cannot fly, and it is difficult to guarantee a hit rate when attacking the ferocious bats from the ground.
Fortunately, we have the Griffin siblings in the team.
Julie and Feilin, activate the fourth level of atavism!
Transform into a giant griffin!
The brother and sister spread their wings and flew into the air, beating up the ferocious bat.
In order to avoid the two ferocious griffin giants, the ferocious bats had to lower their flying altitude and hide in the dense forest.
I'm sorry about that.
The dense forest is the home ground of nature warlocks!
Tao Na's men immediately became excited.
Emerald Vision!
Walk through the woods!
Entanglement technique!
Trap!
Whip of thorns!
Vicious bats live in the woods, which is like walking into a trap.
The first battle in the jungle went smoothly.
Taona killed three ferocious bats and retreated.
Leave the remaining prey for the younger brothers and sisters to practice with.
Tao Na took out a water bottle with a bear pattern from her storage bag, took a sip of water, smacked her lips, and frowned slightly.
During the war, supplies were scarce.
The sugar seasoning in the mushroom garden has been out of supply.
Tao Na, who liked to drink sugary water, had to drink boiled water instead.
I feel a little unhappy.
He picked up the kettle and took another sip.
Huh?!
So sweet!
There was a hint of doubt in Tao Na's eyes.
I took a sip and it was indeed sweet.
It's just plain water, why does it suddenly become sweet?
Tao Na's heart moved and she turned her head to look beside her.
The tall and handsome young man was sitting under a giant mushroom, with his arms crossed behind his head, as if he was leisurely enjoying the cool air.
Tao Na snorted and walked towards the young man angrily.
"Lazy bastard! Did you use the 'seasoning technique' to turn the boiled water in my pot into sugar water?"
"It's just a joke, don't mind it." Alan replied with a smile.
"Humph! Do you think I would be fooled by your little tricks?"
Tao Na put her hands on her hips, looking proud.
"If it were another woman, she might be surprised by this, develop a liking for you, and fall into the trap of a playboy like you."
"This lady won't fall for your tricks! Hehehehe!"
"I didn't intend to seduce you in the first place, what are you imagining?" Alan glanced at her unhappily, "If you don't appreciate it, forget it. I'll cast a spell and turn the sugar water back into boiled water."
"don't want!"
Tao Na hurriedly hugged the bear water bottle tightly.
"It's rare that you do something good, so I'll forgive you!"
"Little girl, you are so shameless!" Alan sneered.
Tao Na's cheeks turned red, she became angry and rushed over to scratch him!
"You can't scratch your face, but you can scratch your arms." Alan covered his face with his arms.
Tao Na scratched his arm twice, but still didn't feel satisfied.
"Humph! You rely on this face to seduce young girls and wives!"
"It's not all about looks. You're still young, and you wouldn't understand even if I told you."
"You big playboy! Why are you so arrogant? I'll scratch you to death!"
"Stop it, I want to take a nap, go play somewhere else, be good."
"You won't behave! I'll kick you to death!"
Tao Na kicked him lightly and complained angrily.
"You kid, you're so shameless that you want to join my team."
"I accepted you for the sake of Julie and Feilin, but you are so lazy and don't do any work!"
"If I had known you were so lazy, I shouldn't have accepted you in the first place!"
Alan turned his head and made a contemptuous gesture towards Taona.
"Don't make it sound so nice."
"I just don't believe that the reason you accepted me into the team had nothing to do with the red envelope I gave you."
Tao Na blushed and avoided his gaze awkwardly.
That's right! In order to join her jungle team, Allen secretly gave her a pack of wood attribute magic stones.
Miss Tao Na, incorruptible and impartial!
I didn't want to take bribes...
Unfortunately, the philandering man gave too much.
The eldest daughter of the Russell family was not short of money.
But things are different now.
The supply channels of the Mushroom Garden Secret Realm have been cut off by the enemy.
Including wood magic stones, various cultivation resources are in serious shortage.
Tao Na hasn't been able to use the magic stone to assist her practice for nearly half a month.
Alan immediately stuffed thirty wood magic stones into her hands, enough for a month's practice.
Look at this...it would be disrespectful to refuse such a kind invitation!
So, Tao Na blushed and accepted the gift with a smile.
I originally thought that Alan was a strong helper in fighting monsters.
Unexpectedly, this guy was just here for vacation.
"Alan! Since you're not going to do anything anyway, why bother following us around? Wouldn't it be more comfortable to go back to the camp and sleep?"
Tao Na asked unhappily.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well when I return to the camp." Alan sighed.
Taona rolled her eyes and whispered, "Are you hiding from Pamela?"
Alan nodded slightly.
"You and her, do you really have...that kind of relationship?"
Tao Na couldn't resist the urge to gossip and asked eagerly.
Alan was silent for a moment, but finally nodded.
"Sure enough, I knew it would be like this!"
Tao Na suddenly became indignant.
"Actually, Sister Julie and I talked about this privately."
"I feel sorry for Sister Julie!"
"It's a pity that Sister Julie has been so fooled by you that she is not angry at all and even speaks well of you."
"She said that you were forced by Pamela, and that you had confessed to her a long time ago, so she has forgiven you."
"Flirtatious man! Tell me the truth, did Pamela really force you?" Tao Na couldn't help but question, "I know a little bit about the relationship between men and women! It's normal for a man to force a woman, but I can't understand how a woman can force a man to do that?"
"There was an element of coercion, but it wasn't completely coercion."
Allen frankly admitted that he was not innocent.
"The reason why Pamela and I have come to this point is mainly my own fault. I can't control myself. I'm sorry, my friend."
When Tao Na saw the self-blaming look on his face, she couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for him.
"Actually, I can't blame you. After all, Pamela is very beautiful and has an impeccable figure. I can't help but be tempted, let alone a lecher like you! Ahem... I'm just making an analogy!"
"Also, when you said I'm sorry to my friend, do you mean Angel?"
Alan nodded, his eyes clouded.
Tao Na was still very sensible. She didn't want to poke at his scars again, so she turned to ask about another matter.
"Playboy, are you having an affair with Sonia from the Human-Devil Cult?"
"Look at what you said, it's really unpleasant!" Allen rolled his eyes at her, "Sonia and I have been childhood sweethearts."
"It's a pity that Sonia has such a hard life."
"One misfortune after another took her away from me."
"When we met again after so many years, everything had changed."
Alan recounted Sonia's experiences in the first half of her life and how she saved his life.
Tao Na listened attentively.
Until he finished.
The blue-haired girl's eyes were already slightly moist.
"Sister Sonia, how pitiful!"
"Flirtatious man! Now she is the only relative in the world, you must not let her down!"
"Of course." Alan asked knowingly, "Why did you suddenly mention Sonia?"
"In fact, many years ago, in this mushroom garden, Sister Sonia... saved my life!"
Alan had already heard about what Taona told him, including her recent encounter with Sonia, but he pretended not to know in front of the little girl.
"Taona, not everything in the world is black and white."
Alan gave the little girl earnest advice.
"For example, in this war right now, it's hard to say which side is just and which side is evil."
"The major sorcerer families in the north and south are all fighting for their own interests, stirring up disputes and causing great suffering to the people."
"So, we really don't need to care too much about the enemy camp."
"If you like Sonia, you can make friends with her. I won't interfere and I won't tell anyone else."
"Yes! Thank you, Brother Allen! I will keep it a secret for you too!"
Tao Na reached out her hand seriously.
"Let's make a pinky promise!"
Alan suppressed his smile and hooked his fingers with her.
Tao Na bit her cherry lips, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
After hesitating for a while, he finally couldn't help but speak.
"Actually, this matter between you and Pamela is really not your fault! Don't blame yourself too much!"
"I'm not just giving you lip service to comfort you, I have evidence!"
"Any more evidence?" Alan raised his eyebrows, becoming interested.
"Yeah! There is one thing that I have felt is strange for a long time, but I didn't associate it with you at the time."
"What's the matter? Tell me in detail."
"On the first day you came to the mushroom garden, after the evening dinner, Pamela found me alone and asked me for a medicine!"
Tao Na lowered her voice and looked mysterious.
"You know, most of us natural sorcerers are good at pharmacy and toxicology. I also have some experience in this area."
"I was in the mushroom garden, collecting hallucinogenic spores, combining them with materials such as Hangman Tree pollen, and accidentally concocted a potent hallucinogen!"
"What level of toxin is it equivalent to?" Alan asked.
"Almost... Level 6!"
"Good technique," Alan affirmed.
"Listen to me!"
Tao Na pulled his sleeve, and her little face looked a little excited.
"This mixed poison reagent, in addition to being hallucinogenic, also has a strong aphrodisiac effect. It's the so-called... aphrodisiac! Do you understand?"
Alan suppressed his laughter and nodded.
"What did Pamela want from you for this medicine?"
"Hey! You hit the nail on the head!" Tao Na clapped her hands. "I didn't understand it before, until later, when that kind of thing happened between you and Pamela, I suddenly realized it!"
"Pamela has actually been planning something bad to you for a long time!"
"If threats don't make you surrender, she'll drug you and make you lose your mind so that you can have sex with her!"
"So, you are such a poor playboy, even if you are determined and resist Pamela's temptation, you can't escape the drugging!"
"Since you are destined to be unable to escape her clutches, why do you have to feel guilty about it and feel sorry for Angel?"
Drugging...
Alan laughed to himself.
This is what he is least afraid of.
However, telling the truth would inevitably make Tao Na embarrassed.
So he breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
He looked down at the little girl with gratitude in his eyes.
"Taona, thank you for your guidance. I feel much better now."
"Hehehe! No, I just can't help but be talkative and like to gossip!" The blue-haired girl grinned.
"Speaking of pharmacy, I also have a little research, we can exchange some ideas."
Except for the part involving the Taotie system, Alan shared his understanding of pharmacy and various toxins with Taona without reservation.
The blue-haired girl was fascinated by what she heard.
"Wow! Playboy! You really know a lot! So impressive!"
Tao Na clapped her hands in praise.
"I have always thought that I was a genius in pharmacy. Today, after listening to your words, I finally realized how high the sky is and how deep the earth is! It turns out that I am still far from my level!"
"There's no need to underestimate yourself," Allen encouraged her with a smile, "In fact, you are already very good."
"How powerful is it?" Tao Na said seriously.
"Compared to me, it's still a little bit worse."
"But compared to others..." Alan murmured, "Your level of pharmacy is not inferior to the second-ranked pharmacy master of the Beast Cult, the wolf girl Beiting."
"Beiting...I've been paying attention to this person for a long time!"
Tao Na clenched her fists, fighting spirit in her eyes.
"Beiting and I will have to compete sooner or later to determine the winner!"
To thank Allen for his advice, Tao Na also gave Allen some of the Level 6 hallucinogen she invented for his reference.
At this time, Julie came over.
I saw Tona and Alan sitting side by side under a tree, playing and chatting happily.
Julie's expression was a little subtle.
"Taona, it's rare to see you and Alan getting along so well..."
"No, Sister Julie!" Tao Na quickly jumped up to defend herself, "It's not what you think, we are innocent!"
Alan couldn't help but laugh.
Silly girl, isn't this making things worse?
Alan stretched himself, stood up, and said to Julie:
"Taona is a nice girl."
"I like her very much, but this kind of liking is not a romantic relationship. It is more like the love of an elder brother for his younger sister."
"I want to take Tao Na in as my adopted sister, but I'm afraid my good brother will misunderstand me."
"Why not settle for the next best thing and take her in as your goddaughter?"
Julie was stunned by what she heard.
Not sure if he was serious or joking.
"Playboy! Big bastard!"
Tao Na couldn't stand this kind of joke and got furious.
"I treat you as a buddy, and you actually want to be my dad?!"
"I'm going to scratch your face and make sure you can't have a gigolo!"
Hound pace!
Alan avoids Tona's "Friendly Face Punch" and pushes her towards Julie.
Tao Na took the opportunity to crawl into Julie's arms, humming and acting coquettishly.
"You two...you are so old, but you are still so naughty!"
Julie hugged Taona, looking helpless.
At this time, Feilin also came over.
"Alan, the violent bats have been eliminated."
"Just like you said, pick out the intact bodies and gather them in a pile."
"What do you want these big bat carcasses for?"
"Of course it is very useful!" Allen smiled mysteriously, "You will know in a moment."
The four came to the place where the corpses of ferocious bats were piled up.
Alan looked around to make sure no outsiders were present.
He used the vortex dragon claw to grab the corpse of a ferocious bat from the pile of corpses.
Open the storage bag and take out two bottles of spores.
Mix trace amounts of mind spores with parasitic spores and implant them into the corpses of dire bats.
The spores enter the body and multiply rapidly.
The fine and dense hyphae suture the wound, stop the bleeding and heal it.
In the blink of an eye, the bat's corpse was parasitized by spores and transformed into a fungus beast.
Alan and the parasitic spores communicate telepathically.
The remote-controlled fungus-beast bat flapped its wings and flew up.
Taona and Griffin, brother and sister, watched in amazement as the bat "came back to life" and circled overhead!
Tao Na is indeed a genius girl in the natural sciences department and she quickly saw the clues.
"Alan! Did you transform the bat corpse into a puppet?"
"This is called Fungus Beast. I learned this skill from the Fungus Master."
Alan's answer shocked Taona even more.
"You can actually communicate with the Fungus Master?!"
"What's so strange about this? The mushroom owner is very gentle and it's not difficult to deal with him."
"No way!" Tao Na objected fiercely, "I once tried to use the 'Plant Talking Technique' to communicate with the mushroom owner, but she rejected me..."
"Plant communication" can also communicate with supernatural fungi, but the other party may not be willing to open up.
"Taona, the mushroom master is the mother of all the mushrooms in the mushroom garden." Feilin took over the conversation with a smile, "As long as it's a female, Alan can get close to her. This is a talent that we can't learn."
"That's not necessarily true!" Tao Na said proudly, "I won't fall for a playboy! This guy just wanted to be me... uh, wanted to be my sworn brother or sister, but I won't give him the face!"
"Taona, don't interrupt. Let Alan continue to talk about how to transform the monster's corpse into a fungus beast."
Julie brought the topic back to where it had strayed.
"We need two special spores." Alan explained in a low voice, "Silver heart spores can be collected from mushroom people, and green parasitic spores can only be found on fungus masters."
Alan took out three medicine bottles and gave them to his three friends.
"The parasitic spores in the bottle, use them to practice and transform into fungus beasts."
"Before implanting the parasitic spores, you must first use the psychic spores to establish a mental link with the former and offer to find a host for them. In return, the host must be controlled and obey your command."
"Parasitic spores, eager to acquire a host and reproduce, usually won't refuse a deal."
"After the deal is concluded, you can use the mind spores to remotely control the fungus beasts as servants or use them in battle."
"The fungus beast has no memory of its previous life and cannot cast spells."
"However, his physiological functions are similar to those in life. He can run and fly, and can also transform into his ancestral form. His combat capability is still quite good."
"If you have mastered telepathic abilities, such as Taona's 'Plant Talking Technique', you can communicate with the parasitic spores without the help of the mind spores, thus saving a procedure."
Finally, Allen emphasized solemnly.
"Once you learn this secret, remember not to tell anyone else!"
"Use the corpses of wild monsters to create more fungus beasts to make up for the lack of defensive forces."
"Next time the enemy besieges the secret realm, sending this special force at the critical moment may have a miraculous effect in turning the tide of the battle!"
Feilin, Julie and Taona nodded together and swore to keep it secret!
Next, under Alan's guidance, the three used spores to transform the corpses of the ferocious bats into fungal beasts one by one.
The three of them transformed a total of twenty bat fungus beasts, and they were still not satisfied.
Unfortunately, the remaining bat carcass had incomplete wings.
Even if it is transformed into a fungus beast, it cannot fly. It is a waste and it is not worth wasting precious parasitic spores.
At this time, a green-robed warlock hurried over and reported to Taona the latest findings of the jungle team.
"There are many strange holes in the clearing in the forest ahead."
"Preliminary observations show that this is a cave dug by a digging worm."
The name "Digger" brought back Alan's memories.
Many years ago, on his way to report to the Warlock Academy, he passed by a digging worm's nest.
Another classmate was unfortunately killed by a strange insect and dragged into a hole in the ground, leaving no trace of his body.
At that time, Allen and others were just weak apprentices.
Unable to rescue his classmates, he fled in fear!
Ten years in the east, ten years in the west.
The diggers are still diggers, but Allen, Flynn and others are no longer the naive apprentices they used to be.
