Using God's View, Angor quickly found Greya's location.
To his surprise, Greya wasn't far from the new city. She was about a hundred kilometers away.
Greya mentioned that she would head toward the Mother Tree. She wanted to check out the Dream Plant Fairy's territory and see if there was anything special about the fairy civilization created by the Mother Tree.
Of course, for Greya, "something special" only referred to the food culture.
Every time Angor looked at Greya, she was heading toward the Mother Tree. But this time, she didn't go to the Mother Tree. Why did she go back to the new city?
Angor had his doubts, but he didn't want to think too much about it. Instead, he focused on observing Greya's location.
There was something special about Greya's current location. She was not on the surface. Instead, she was inside a cave.
There were obvious signs of artificial excavation, and it was done recently. Greya must have prepared it for herself.
The cave looked like something out of a fairytale.
Glowing moss covered the ceiling, while the walls were covered with fungi of various shapes and colors. Under the illumination of the glowing moss, the entire cave was filled with colorful lights.
Apart from the carpet fungi, there were several giant mushroom houses made of fungi on the ground.
Greya was inside one of the largest mushroom houses. She was sitting on a soft mushroom sofa while enjoying the "food" in her hand.
Angor didn't know what she was eating since it looked strange. But judging from Greya's expression, it shouldn't be bad.
Angor glanced at Greya's condition and withdrew his hand.
He used Omniscient View to check if Greya was free right now. If she was, he wouldn't bother her.
But now, it seemed that Greya wasn't.
So, Angor decided to meet with Greya first.
He knew Greya wasn't busy at the moment, but he still sent her an invitation through the mother tree communicator out of courtesy.
One minute, two minutes … Five minutes later, Greya still didn't reply.
Again, he looked at Greya using his Omniscient View.
Maybe Greya was too engrossed in her food to notice his invitation. However, there was no response from the mother tree within a radius of several dozen meters around Greya.
There were only two possibilities. Either Greya did not bring the Mother Tree Communicator with her, or Greya had left the coverage of the Mother Tree Network.
Which of the two possibilities was it? Angor did not know, but it did not matter.
Either way, one thing was for sure — Greya was trying to avoid the Mother Tree Network.
Why didn't Greya go to the Mother Tree? Why did she come back instead of going to the Mother Tree?
Could it be that there was some unspeakable secret here? Could it be that something had happened while he was exploring the ruins?
He used God's View to check the Mother Tree's location. The Dream Plant Sprites were already flourishing, and they all looked calm on the surface. Nothing serious seemed to have happened.
Angor pondered for a moment and checked the recent records of his "tree civilization" authority. He still couldn't find anything out of the ordinary.
After a while, he decided to give up.
Greya was obviously acting strange. Since he couldn't find anything out, he might as well ask Greya himself.
With that in mind, he logged out of the game.
When he logged into the dream wasteland again, he was already near Greya's cave.
Not long after Angor showed up, he noticed that one of the fungal clusters around him was acting strangely as if it sensed an intruder. The fungal cluster carefully released some faint, misty particles toward the mushroom hut as if it was trying to send a message to Greya.
Angor was about to go to the Mushroom Hut, but he stopped when he saw the particles.
If he was not mistaken, Greya had already noticed him through the particles.
Several seconds later, he heard footsteps coming from inside the mushroom hut.
"I was wondering why those fairy guards dared to trespass on human territory. You're the one who came." Greya walked out of the Mushroom Hut. Her huge body complemented the giant Mushroom Hut behind her perfectly.
Angor even felt that Greya's body was even sturdier than before.
"It's not gentlemanly to keep staring at a lady." Greya winked at Angor. "Of course, I don't mind. You're even less of a gentleman. I like you even more."
"I'm not here for a joke." Angor ignored Greya's words and spoke with a straight face.
Greya tucked her red hair behind her ear. "Don't learn from your professor. You won't win a lady's heart if you do."
Angor was speechless. What kind of lady would willingly turn into a monster of flesh?
"What's the fairy escort you mentioned?" Angor tried his best not to show it on his face.
Greya stared at Angor for a moment before she turned around and walked into the Mushroom Hut. As he walked, he said, "I don't want to stand and talk. Come on, come in."
…
Two minutes later, inside the Mushroom Hut.
Angor and Greya sat opposite each other.
"Want something to drink?" Greya asked in a flirtatious tone. "I have the freshest mushroom milk I just squeezed out. Do you want to try?"
Mushroom milk? 'What the hell is this?!'
I don't like all kinds of milk, okay?!
"Compared to the mushroom milk, I'm more interested in the fairy guards you mentioned. What's this thing called 'Fairy Guards'? You're hiding here because you don't want them to find you? "
Greya covered her mouth and nose with a hand and giggled in a strange way. "Oh my, so you came all the way here because you care about me. I'm so touched that I'm going to cry ~"
Angor didn't know what to say.
Angor rubbed his temples. "I'm just following what you said. If you don't want to talk about it, I'll talk about my business."
Greya knew that Angor came all the way here for something important. But since Angor didn't say anything right away, she assumed it wasn't something important. That was why Greya decided to "tease" Angor first.
Her "teasing" worked at first, but when she saw Angor's dead-fish eyes, she knew that it would only backfire.
Greya looked at Angor's expressionless face and chuckled. "Do you mind? Of course not. However, I have to answer your questions one by one. I don't know what you want to ask. Are you going to ask me why I'm hiding here, or about the Fairy Guards? "
Angor frowned. "They're not related?"
Greya shrugged. "They're related, but not to me."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean it literally," Greya said. I'm not hiding here. I'm just resting here. As for the fairy guards, I'm not the one they're looking for. After all, Freud did remind me that the Dream-Plant Fairies are very sensitive to humans. I don't want to ruin their relationship with humans. "
"If it's not you, then who is it?"
"Oh? You don't know? " Greya chuckled again. "I thought you already saw him when you pinpointed me, but I'm not sure if you can find him or not. You didn't see him? "
"Him?" Who's' him '?
Greya stood up. "That's not all I can say. Why don't you come with me? "
Angor was about to use God's Eye to check his surroundings, but he held back his urge after hearing Greya's words. "Okay."
Greya didn't say anything else. She walked toward the Mushroom Hut while swaying her hips.
The Mushroom Hut looked very "human". There were beds, tables, cabinets, and sofas, all of which were made according to Greya's size.
Greya was heading toward one of the cabinets.
Greya opened the mushroom-shaped cabinet and searched around inside. A moment later, a dark tunnel appeared behind the cabinet.
The passageway led downwards, and there was an obvious staircase distribution. It was obvious that it was man-made.
"He's down there," Greya said as she entered the passage first.
Angor followed behind her.
This was the Catacombs to begin with. Logically speaking, the place below should be even dimmer, but that was not the case in reality.
There were clusters of colorful mushrooms growing on both sides of the stone stairs. Every time Greya and Angor moved down a step, the mushroom would emit a corresponding glow.
They were like voice-controlled lights that guided them deeper into the passage.
"Colorful mushrooms as lamps to welcome visitors. Looks like he likes you a lot." Greya chuckled.
Angor didn't say anything. He was getting more and more curious about "him".
Soon, they reached the bottom of the stairs. The first thing Angor saw was a chubby baby.
He looked like a "small" baby, but his body wasn't.
Angor finally understood why Greya treated him so differently. This was a younger version of Greya!
Looking at the baby's appearance, Angor recalled a cartoon he once saw in his hologram tablet, "Little White Dragon Seeking Fame". In the cartoon, Granny Tang's only son looked very similar to this meaty baby. He had a huge body, but he had a chubby body.
However, this baby was different from the one in the cartoon. He wasn't wearing a red dudou. Instead, he was wearing a green leaf.
Also, there were many colorful mushrooms growing on the baby's body.
He was trying to break the mushrooms on his body.
After a while, he finally broke off a pink mushroom. Then, he happily walked to Greya and handed the mushroom to her. He then looked at Angor with a shy expression.
"I thought you're giving it to me. You're giving it to him? Tsk tsk. I heard that Dream Planter Fairies don't like outsiders. Why are you so nice to him? He's even nicer than me. "Greya took the mushroom and grinned." I'm gonna get jealous. "
The chubby baby didn't want to answer this question. He kept "clenching his teeth" but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Angor muttered to himself, "So it's a Dream Planter Fairy."
As a matter of fact, he already knew who the baby was as soon as he saw the leaf.
Considering how big the baby was, a leaf that covered most of his body could only belong to the Mother Tree.
Besides, he could sense the fairy aura coming from the baby. It wasn't hard at all to figure out who the baby was.
However, this only made Angor more confused.
If this was a Dream Planter Fairy, why was there no Mother Tree network here? All plants could become nodes of the Mother Tree network.
The basic ability of a Dream Planter Fairy was to spread the seeds of the Mother Tree and plant plants all over the world.
In other words, a Dream Planter Fairy could create a plant to serve as a signal carrier for the Mother Tree network.
This Dream Planter Fairy had no Mother Tree network, which meant it didn't want to create such a plant. But why?
Greya handed Angor a mushroom to him. "This is the mushroom he gave you. I helped him grow a new species. It's delicious. Try it."
Angor didn't want to take the mushroom, but when he tried to refuse, the chubby baby showed a sad expression.
Angor sighed and accepted the mushroom without tasting it. After all, it was taken from the baby's body. Mushrooms were considered "meat" too!
Greya grinned. "Since he doesn't want to talk about it, why don't you help me out? He seems to treat you differently. "
How could he treat me differently? Angor thought. In a way, Angor was the embodiment of the Mother Tree's consciousness, and the Dream Planter Fairy was carrying a leaf from the Mother Tree.
He shrugged and said, "It's not important. Besides, I don't know the answer. Compared to these small matters, I'm more curious as to why a first generation Dream Plant Fairy would be with you. Also, why are the fairy guards looking for him? Could it be that you've abducted him? "
If the fairy guards weren't looking for Greya, they must be looking for the chubby baby.
As for why Angor could tell that the baby was a first-generation Dream Planter Fairy, it was simple. First-generation Dream Planters were the largest of all Dream Planters. They were born on the cocoons of the Mother Tree and would inherit part of the Mother Tree's legacy. Without a doubt, the leaf was a part of the Dream Planter Fairy.
A Dream Plant Fairy that grew after birth was not allowed to obtain anything from the Mother Tree, not even withered leaves.
There weren't many first-generation Dream Planter Fairies, and all of them lived near the Mother Tree. They obeyed the Mother Tree's orders and never went to human territories. Even if humans needed to plant trees, they would send them to do it. None of the first-generation Dream Planter Fairies would come.
Therefore, it was very strange for this Mountain of Flesh Baby to appear here.
