Nika stepped forward and inserted her hands into the mushroom.
Swish! ! !
With ease, she peeled off a rectangular "door" from the mushroom's stem.
Only then did Luo Xiu see the inside of the mushroom stem.
It turned out to be hollow inside, and the marks indicated that it had been hollowed out.
There are still traces of human habitation on the ground.
“Mr. White, we need to hide inside for a while. This was originally the place we planned to rest halfway through the journey, and it can cover our smell.”
Nika began to speak:
"The manor owner has arrived."
Luo Xiu was constantly using his "scrutiny" ability to observe Nika's emotional and mental state changes, but he didn't notice anything unusual.
What is a manor owner?
Luo Xiu asked.
"He is the owner of Red Mushroom Town, and today is likely the day he will be inspecting this mushroom forest."
Nika answered quickly and stepped into the mushroom first.
No abnormalities were found during the inspection.
There was no smell of blood.
It doesn't smell like a monster.
Luo Xiu nodded, and the group followed him into the mushroom.
Nika, who is usually oblivious to everything, didn't realize what Luo Xiu was thinking.
She left the mushroom-shaped door slightly ajar.
Then he lay on the wall of a mushroom with two small holes, nervously observing the outside world.
“Miss Nika, you just mentioned the master of Red Mushroom Town, so is the manor owner the lord of Red Mushroom Town?”
Luo Xiu asked.
"Lord?"
Nika thought for a moment:
"You could say that, but we're all used to calling him the manor owner."
“Mr. White, you’re an outsider, so you must have seen the sign hanging outside the town. Strictly speaking, Red Mushroom Town isn’t really called a town; it should be called Red Mushroom Manor.”
"And the manor owner is the owner of Red Mushroom Manor, he—"
Nika stopped halfway through her sentence.
She made a shushing gesture with a look of horror, then nervously looked at the small hole on the mushroom wall.
His expression was many times more terrified than when he saw the demon bat.
Luo Xiu sat down next to Nika and looked at the mushroom wall beside him, noticing that there were also two small holes on it.
He imitated Nika and looked out through the small hole.
A layer of mist slowly rose from the previously clear mushroom forest outside.
Immediately afterwards, the entire Forest of Illusions began to tremble and shake.
It's like someone walking step by step, yet the whole earth is shaken.
Then, a huge, grotesque figure entered Luo Xiu's field of vision.
The figure was far away, and its face was not clearly visible, but it was obviously much taller than those mushroom trees.
It should be even larger than Leila after her transformation, looking exactly like a giant.
Through the thin mist, Luo Xiu seemed to see a figure with a huge belly, wearing a red tuxedo coat and a white shirt.
He was also wearing a black top hat.
With each step he took, the entire mushroom grove swayed. It's hard to imagine just how heavy he was.
Nearby, Nika had already begun kneeling on the ground and praying incessantly.
The key point is that the prayer was not spoken; it looked like a silent pantomime.
Through his [sense], Luo Xiu saw that the figure emanated a certain color of light.
It looks green, no, it looks a little like cyan?
It's too far away, and there's fog.
Luo Xiu couldn't quite tell the difference.
Then, the next second, Luo Xiu saw the figure with a big pregnant belly walking towards them.

Ruined.
Upon seeing the manor owner walking towards them, Nika took a deep breath, her heart sinking.
She began to pray even more frantically and desperately.
She started by praying to her parents, then to her grandparents, and finally to a stray dog she had once owned and her sweetheart.
Of course, everyone except her beloved has passed away.
Perhaps it was her sincerity that worked, or perhaps it was just good luck.
The portly manor owner walked a short distance in this direction and then stopped.
He looked down at a red mushroom tree, then suddenly reached out.
The speed at which his arm stretched out was completely inconsistent with his obese body, leaving only a faint afterimage in the air.
Then, a demonic bat with two pairs of wings was pulled out from under the red mushroom tree, held in his hand, and let out a series of miserable screams.
He opened his mouth,
He stuffed the demon bat into his mouth.
He chewed it a few times and then swallowed it.
After finishing the demon bat, he patted his round belly with satisfaction and then walked in the opposite direction.
Beside him, Luo Xiu's expression was solemn.
His seriousness wasn't due to the manor owner's strength.
As the manor owner gradually approached.
He then clearly saw the color on his body: green, fourth rank.
Perhaps it was because of the fog that it looked somewhat bluish.
Green wasn't a dangerous level for him, although he might have a natural disadvantage in terms of terrain in the [Mushroom Forest], plus he was facing opponents he'd never seen before.
But they shouldn't be completely defenseless.
His expression was solemn.
Is this so-called plantation owner really human?
If it were a human, could any human really transform into this? And how could the lord of Red Mushroom Town be a fourth-tier being?
If the manor owner is not human, then the lord of Red Mushroom Town... is not human?
This question made him somewhat uneasy.
Kanriel.
He hadn't even seen what the city looked like yet, but it was already shrouded in mystery in his mind.
Old White was right, this is indeed a... very interesting place.
Until the fog in sight gradually dissipated,
Nika, who had been holding it in for a long time, finally let out a long sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.
"Survived."
Exhausted, Nika waved her right hand excitedly.
In her right hand, she held a necklace that she had taken from her magic pocket when she began to pray.
Tassanya and Leila, who had been looking tense, relaxed beside Luo Xiu.
Milair appeared relatively calm. She possessed the universal skill [Survey] and could see that the other party had a veil of light around them, meaning that the other party's rank was no higher than her own.
Although Tassanya could also "scrutinize," she couldn't see the veil of light on the other party, so her expression inevitably became tense.
Luo Xiu asked Nika:
"Miss Nika, is your manor owner the same person we just saw?"
Nika shook her head:
“When I was little, he wasn’t the owner of the manor in Red Mushroom Town. I remember hearing people in town say that the owner was a very thin, tall man who liked to wear red socks.”
"This manor owner only appeared in our Red Mushroom Town on the day he took office, so that's how I know what he looks like."
Will they change the player again?
Luo Xiu seemed to be deep in thought, and continued to ask:
"Since the manor owner is the master of Red Mushroom Town, would he really lay a hand on you townspeople?"
"Normally not, but it's said that if you encounter the manor owner patrolling the Forest of Illusions, you might get caught and eaten by him."
Nika began to speak:
“Some people have witnessed the manor owner swallowing those he captured, while others have been released by the manor owner.”
Will they selectively release people?
