Chapter 397: Chapter 398: The Luminescent Sea Night Mushroom
"It can glow?"
Su Tang took the Sea Night Mushroom, still not finding any hint of it being able to glow.
Qiu Mo hurriedly nodded, "Yes! I used it for lighting underwater, when I got on the land I thought it wouldn’t glow anymore, but it still does after it gets dark!"
Upon hearing this, Su Tang instantly perked up, she thought about the dark, lightless basement and her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
She grabbed Qiu Mo’s hand and said, "Come with me!"
The basement entrance was set up in the storeroom behind the kitchen, with a wooden board covering the hole on the ground.
Su Tang lifted the wooden board, revealing the pitch-black hole below, feeling a bit hesitant.
She took a deep breath, holding the Sea Night Mushroom in one hand and leading Qiu Mo with the other, they cautiously descended the steps.
The basement was dug very deep, but had ventilation, so although the air inside was a bit stuffy, it was still connected to the outside.
To not affect the house’s foundation, the underground space was all under the courtyard, with the walls and floor made of stacked stone bricks.
Su Tang walked very slowly, on one hand observing the Sea Night Mushroom’s state, and on the other hand, it was indeed very dark below and the stairs were quite long, to fall headlong wouldn’t be a joke.
Having walked about half the distance, Su Tang could no longer see the path underfoot, she stopped on the steps and looked at the Sea Night Mushroom in her hand.
In the pitch-black darkness, she actually couldn’t see anything either, could just feel that she was still holding the Sea Night Mushroom.
After waiting for a moment, a bit of a milky white glow started to spread across the entire Sea Night Mushroom.
"Look! It’s glowing again!"
"Yes! I see it!"
While it was in fact a purple mushroom, it could emit a milky white warm light, it was very magical and very beautiful!
The light was soft and not dazzling, and its coverage area was quite small, within a meter one could see clearly, beyond a meter was impossible.
With this knowledge, Su Tang was very delighted at heart, and pulling Qiu Mo, they returned to the ground.
"Momo, so it’s called a Sea Night Mushroom? Do you know how long it can survive?"
Qiu Mo thought for a moment and said, "Quite a while, I suppose, there used to be a few Sea Night Mushrooms by my shell, but now there are a lot! My shell is the brightest shell in the sea!"
Su Tang asked again, "So, you mean there are many Sea Night Mushrooms in the sea? And, can they reproduce on their own?"
Qiu Mo looked at Su Tang puzzledly, "There are many in the sea, but what...reproduce? What is that?"
Su Tang smiled and shook her head, "Nothing, not a big deal. Momo, do you like Peach Blossom Land?"
Qiu Mo nodded vigorously, "I do! Peach Blossom Land is the best tribe I’ve ever seen. Before, Ah Fu took me to the Ten Thousands Beast Country, their houses are a bit like yours, but their houses don’t have heating, they’re not warm at all, their beds are also not warm, the meat isn’t as delicious as the one you cook, I like Peach Blossom Land the most!"
Listening to Qiu Mo praising Peach Blossom Land, Su Tang’s mood was like that of a mother hen whose chick had been praised— proud, satisfied and full of accomplishment!
"Do you wish for Peach Blossom Land to become even better? To eat more delicious food?"
Qiu Mo nodded vigorously, "Of course I do!"
Su Tang smoothed her ink-blue long hair and said softly, "Then, if you ever return to your tribe, you can talk to your Ah Fu, and come trade with our Peach Blossom Land."
A rigid expression appeared on Qiu Mo’s face.
When Su Tang saw this she said, "If it’s inconvenient, then never mind."
