"Alright, I got it, twinkle twinkle little star, all are tiny stars..."
The flower mushroom hummed a strange song, extended a tentacle, grabbed a little girl, pulled her out of the basket, followed by a "plop" sound, seemingly splashing water, and then the little girlâs screams of struggle in boiling water.
However, the flower mushroom didnât care, just like Green who had cooked mushroom soup countless times, never caring about the feelings of the mushrooms, this is the evolution rule of the Endless World.
"Hanging bright in the sky, hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm..."
Still humming the song, the flower mushroom reached out its tentacle again, this time everyone was terrified, desperately dodging, screaming, and crying.
"Huh?"
With a slight "huh", the mushroom tentacle bound Green and lifted him up, looking closely at him, Green blinked without any will to communicate or struggle, staring at the flower mushroom.
After a while, the flower mushroom shouted to the other side, "Grandma, is this little girl dead?"
Following the flower mushroomâs gaze, Green saw a giant, hundreds of meters tall, wearing ragged clothes, emaciated wolf adorned with black-framed glasses, holding metal knitting needles, knitting a sweater.
Upon hearing this, Wolf Grandmaâs gaze lifted from the sweater, looking at Green on the flower mushroomâs tentacle.
"Hm? Let me see."
The flower mushroom bounced over and handed Green to Wolf Grandma. Held by the furry wolf paw, Green did nothing except continuously staring at Wolf Grandmaâpeculiar indeed.
As Wolf Grandma flipped and turned him, the flower mushroom bounced back to the basket, and amidst continuous "plop", "plop" splashes, came waves of desperate screams followed by wails and cries. This time, Flower Mushroom without even glancing at the basket, dumped all the little girls into the stew pot!
Green could feel his heart pounding "thump" "thump" wildly, despite trying to suppress his movements and thoughts, the agonizing shrieks of the struggling girls in boiling water still made him tremble uncontrollably.
"Itâs indeed strange, why isnât it crying or struggling, yet staying alive, you see his eyelids still flitting. Uh...but, better not cook it in soup together, worries it might affect the taste."
Upon hearing Grandma Wolf say this, Green couldnât help but breathe a sigh of relief, filled with joy.
Success!
No matter what, now I have lived longer than those other little girls, damn Xiao Ba, why hasnât he arrived yet!
Meanwhile, Green expectantly watched Grandma Wolfâs mouth, waiting for phrases like "throw it away" or "set aside for now", staring at her mouth motions, Green feeling how slowly time passed.
"Forget it, better..."
Watching Grandma Wolfâs mouth, inside almost roaring, say throw it away, say set aside, say it! Say it!
"Better eat it raw directly!"
With a tremendous shock, Greenâs body went rigid, dazed in disbelief under overwhelming fear, among nauseating bad breath, every cell in Greenâs body screamed and struggled, yet trapped by Dimensional Gap rules, even under Life Key Genetic Domainâs study, Green struggled back and forth, slightly exceeding wild instinct, nearing the legendary Seventh Layer Human Transformation, but so what!?
Within this Dimensional Gap, still just another little girl, without achieving Dominators possessing Omnipotent Soul, all capabilities merely part of Endless World Boxâs internal power systems.
In Dimensional Gap, within Dimensional Dimension crevices, utterly useless!
Damp heat, foul stench, along with Wolf Grandmaâs throatâs "aaahhh" wide open moans, saliva drenched Greenâs entire body.
Is it possible Iâm going to die?
Is there no hope?
Will Xiao Ba arrive at the last moment?
However, Green became disappointed, Xiao Ba did not appear, watching above the swiftly closing jaws, and tongue soon wrapping himself, recalling mushroom soup once tasted, Beauty Shell swallowed in Biser City, resignedly awaiting death in silent calm.
Is this the end of my wizard path?
Ultimately, like predecessors, seeking treasures in deep illusions, while sacrificing my own treasures here, becoming treasure in eyes of successors.
Such a shame, so much left undone, so much knowledge unexplored, havenât witnessed Wizard Worldâs third civilization war victory, havenât fulfilled Ancestor of Sorcerers plan, havenât completed wizard world rescue for Demon Hunting Expedition, havenât challenged fate outside the box...
Wide jaws close, Green feels tongue writhing, imagines himself as mushrooms once tasted, like Balance Rules say, he can eat mushrooms, mushrooms can eat him, itâs very fair.
Only at this moment, about to be chewed into mud, swallowed and digested, ending in waste...
"Hm!?"
Chewed twice, although uncomfortable, Green was not mashed into mud, suddenly wide jaws open, paw extracted Green from the mouth.
"Little Red Hood, whereâs my dentures?"
Suspended on the tip of a nail, drenched in saliva, Green felt utterly nauseated, keeping incredulous eyes on wide-open wolf mouth.
Dentures!?
This old wolf, lost all teeth, inside mouth bare!
Flower Mushroom bounced over, surprised, "Grandma, you havenât used dentures for years, always made me turn these little girls into mush, I forgot where your dentures were kept, why not let me search for them?"
Heart jumped into throat, Green quietly awaited Grandma Wolfâs response.
"Oh, is that so, forget it, no need to find...Eat it and be done!"
Saying this, Grandma Wolf tossed Green to Flower Mushroom.
Earlier hearing no need to find, Green barely exhaled relief, yet as Grandma wolf handed him to Flower Mushroom, Green startled anew.
Such alternating fear, calm stimulation, along with helplessnessâindeed torturous!
"I wouldnât eat little girls smeared with Grandmaâs drool."
Saying this, with a "whoosh", threw Green near the garbage next to the furnace.
Phew...
Even inside the garbage bin, Green felt immense satisfaction, momentarily safe.
"Child, wasting natureâs food gifts will incur punishment from Mother of the Forest. These little girls may take thousands, tens of thousands years to grow, we should cherish scarce food, thoroughly wash and dry them into mushroom powder."
Saying this, Wolf Grandma advanced step by step, gazing at Green, who just breathed a sigh of relief in the trash bin.
