Chapter 543: The Shameful Past

“You’re going to be eaten!”
“It’s been eaten!”
"Eat it!"
Although the group of mushrooms did not look very smart, they all had panic on their faces.
The wise master of mushrooms recalled the previous experience and felt very angry. "Humans who repay kindness with enmity... If this continues, the clones will be eaten up."
"If my clones are eaten less and less, then my power will become weaker and weaker... and that will be a big trouble."
"How can humans eat so much?"
As human beings' appetite has far exceeded the expectations of the wise master of mushrooms, it will be difficult for them to gain a foothold in this era if things continue like this.
Fortunately, the current predicament has not reached the point of no return. The Sage Lord of the Mushroom felt relieved when he saw the man, Katakka, who was controlled by his power. "Huh, although his power is running low, it is still more than enough to control a human..."
"Now Xumi knows that my mushrooms are delicious. It is impossible to grow them again. I have to find another place."
"And if you want it to grow wildly, you also need geographical conditions..."
The wise master of mushrooms ordered Kathaka in front of him, "Hey, take me to the hottest place, the hotter the better!"
Kataka: "Yes, my lord!"
Then, Kataka took the wise lord of mushrooms to the volcano of Nata.
The Sage Master of Mushrooms: “Is this the place? Human.”
Katoka was full of admiration for the Master of Mushrooms. "Yes, this is the volcano in the far west mentioned in the records. The temperature is very high. It should be very suitable for the Master of Mushrooms to accumulate strength again."
"Please let me plant the wise master in the most suitable place."
"Well, I leave it to you." The wise master of mushrooms was also very satisfied when looking at the surrounding environment. It was very suitable for it to develop here.
But man proposes, God disposes. A violent shaking scared the wise lord of mushrooms, and Kataka, who was standing beside him, instantly collapsed and trembled all over.
“Hey, why is there an earthquake? A volcanic eruption?! Aaaaaa——!”
The voice of the Sage Lord of Fungi was full of fear and despair. He stared with wide eyes at the surging volcanic lava roaring towards him like a demon.
In the end, the wise lord of mushrooms was completely buried near the volcano.
[Captain] "I am speechless after seeing this..."
[Traveler Ying] "Indeed, I don't know what to say when I see such a scene."
[Tinari] "So the real body has come to Nata. No wonder the scholars couldn't find it no matter how hard they searched."
[Paimon] "After all, it's such an embarrassing thing. If it were me, I would sneak away to a deserted place and not let anyone find me."
In the picture, the traveler Ying and others were speechless looking at the scene in front of them. After a while, Paimon spoke first, "This is what it deliberately wanted to hide. Is this what happened later? No wonder it had to hide it. It's really embarrassing..."
Varesha: "It said before that people gathered because of the delicious mushrooms and ate mushrooms every day..."
"It seems that because more and more people have gathered, the mushrooms can no longer grow fast enough."
"Providing food to humans is its way of winning people's hearts, so it should be confident in its ability to grow, but the current situation got out of control..."
Traveler Ying also discovered an important factor: "The number of mushrooms is related to its power."
Paimon: "The more humans eat, the slower it grows... Is that what you mean?"
Varessa: "So the faith it built up may collapse after a short time."
Paimon: "Indeed, it is normal that no records were left."
"Then it controlled a Sumeru man and brought it to Nata, but was buried by rocks ejected from the volcano."
Vanessa: "So that's how it is. I wonder how long it has been suppressed."
"When I listened to it talking, I felt like it didn't quite understand the current Teyvat."
Paimon: "After all, it has been suppressed all the time, so it can't grow at all."
"It wasn't until your family opened up this orchard that it had a chance to emerge."
Vanessa: "Indeed, my parents thought it was very strange at the time. They cleaned the orchard very well every day, but how come mushrooms still grew there?"
"But, what the previous paragraph meant was... can this mushroom control humans? That's actually a very dangerous ability."
Traveler Ying: "Hmm..."
Paimon: "Remember the scene we saw before? No matter how hard you try, no human being would kneel down to a giant mushroom. Those people must have been controlled."
"But later its power weakened and it couldn't even do this..."
Varesha: "Yes, now no matter how much we eat, it seems that we can't achieve this effect."
[Xiao Gong] "So it's true. I thought it was just the exaggerated fantasy of the mushroom sage."
[Ian Shan] "The ability to control humans is indeed dangerous."
[Captain] "Just like the unlucky Xumi man just now, he was controlled by someone without knowing it, and served the mushroom sage like a slave, and in the end he was unlucky enough to be buried with him."
[Traveler Ying] "Fortunately, the ability of the Mushroom Sage is easy to deal with. We just need to find a group of big eaters to eat all of its clones and weaken its strength. Then there will be no need to be afraid."
[Marani] "But this demon god just happened to enter the territory of Varessa, the one who loves eating the most in Nata. I can only say that it is very unlucky."
[Ianshan] "It's not just Varessa. The warriors in our Wolu country basically have a bigger appetite than the average person."

The traveler Ying suddenly realized, "I understand... why it has to be us."
Paimon asked in confusion, "Huh? Why?"
Traveler Ying: "Go stop it first, and confirm this during the confrontation while walking."
Vanessa: "Okay, let's hurry up."
Then the traveler Ying and others moved forward and came to the depths of this space.
After everyone worked together to deal with a group of mushroom beasts that blocked the road, the Sage Master of Mushrooms appeared above the mushroom statue. "I can actually catch up with you. That's great. In that case..."
The wise lord of mushrooms opened a mechanism, and rocks kept falling from it, while he himself hid in the statue.
But this did not pose any difficulty for the bull warrior Vanessa, who used the surrounding stone pillars to successfully force the Mushroom Lord out of the statue.
Paimon: "Bad mushroom, you have nowhere to run now, your conspiracy has been exposed!"
Traveler Ying: "Next time, remember to keep your shameful things to yourself."
Valesa: "I let my guard down because you were so delicious, but I didn't expect you to be so dangerous... We have to stop you."
