Mushroom Land occupied an important position in the culture of the Black Crystal Worm Clan. Legend has it that before the Mother Worm God descended upon this world, the entire world was occupied by mushrooms.
After the Mother Worm God descended upon the world and fed on the mushrooms, her descendants, the Mother Worm and the Black Crystal Worm Clan, also fed on the mushrooms. Such behavior angered the mother of all mushrooms—the Primordial Mushroom, who waged a great battle with the Mother Worm God and ultimately ended in defeat.
Fragments of the Primordial Mushroom fell to the ground and transformed into patches of Mushroom Land.
These Mushroom Lands, carrying the resentment of the Primordial Mushroom, required any flesh-and-blood creature that wished to pass to appease the Spirit of Nature of the Mushroom Land with flesh and blood.
After the Warrior Worm finished recounting the Black Crystal Worm Clan's mythology, Richard stroked his chin, lost in thought.
