Chapter 442 How about leaving this high priest to me (big chapter
Asking for a monthly ticket)
At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the middle-aged man came to find He Ao, and took He Ao and Aini to the patriarch's cabin again.
"The Merck family has been a little impatient recently. Will they launch an attack soon?"
On the way, He Ao asked softly.
"It's possible," the middle-aged man nodded, "I will order to strengthen the security. Don't worry, Mr. Pate, the members of our family are good at fighting. Even if the high priest of the Merk family comes in person, they can still resist one or two
.”
"There's nothing wrong with being careful."
He Ao smiled and said softly.
"That is."
The middle-aged man also nodded.
He Ao knew that the middle-aged man was perfunctory with him. The other party had his own rhythm and arrangements, and it was impossible for him to change the entire camp's defense posture just because of his words.
Moreover, he was just guessing and could not provide any solid evidence.
However, after his reminder, the middle-aged people will still pay more or less attention.
The three of them quickly walked to the patriarch's cabin.
The middle-aged man opened the door for He Ao, and He Ao calmly sat back in the seat he had occupied in the morning.
"Little friend Pet said there is a way to deal with the man-eating mushrooms. Can you tell me a little bit about it?"
The old patriarch sitting at the far side looked at He Ao, smiled and said slowly.
"I once saw information about this man-eating mushroom in the wilderness of Chenxi City. The mushrooms in Chenxi City are called ghost mushrooms. The information contains methods on how to deal with these ghost mushrooms,"
He Ao smiled and said, "However, ghost mushrooms have not been active around Chenxi City for a long time, so not many people know this method. I only obtained this method by chance.
"This method is not difficult to say, but I am personally very curious about ghost mushrooms. I found that you seemed to be studying this mushroom in the hospital. Is there anything strange and unique about this mushroom?"
"Speaking of strange, the life state of this man-eating mushroom is indeed strange,"
The old patriarch said slowly, "Generally speaking, these mushrooms are fungi. At present, we believe that fungi and algae are homologous and belong to eukaryotic organisms with a complete cell nucleus.
"The reproduction, growth, and some physiological characteristics of human-eating mushrooms have very typical fungal characteristics, but they do not have a complete cell nucleus."
The old patriarch paused, "In fact, they don't even have a relatively complete nucleation of DNA, and their genetic material does not only have DNA like cellular organisms.
"Their genetic material includes both deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), which are evenly dispersed inside the cells.
"Based on our current knowledge, cells in alien animals generally mutate into organelles that are not found in other organisms.
"We currently don't know whether these organelles are related to their extraordinary power, but most alien animals have such organelles that are different from ordinary life.
"However, generally, there are only one or two specific organelles in the cells of alien animals, and the specific organelles in different alien animals are different.
"And there are nine completely different kinds of specific organelles in the cells of this human-eating mushroom,"
Having said this, the old patriarch paused, "Among these nine special organelles, we saw three organelles that have been seen in other alien animals. We suspect that the remaining six organelles also come from
Different exotic beasts.”
Saying so many words in one breath was a burden on his old body. He grabbed the water glass under the table, slowly raised it and took a sip of water.
"Can ghost mushrooms devour the cell organelles of other alien animals?" Aini scratched her head. What the old man was talking about happened to be the biology knowledge she had learned in high school. She subconsciously thought about it.
"Or is it that someone deliberately implanted these organelles into the ghost mushroom? But is it really possible to implant the organelles of other organisms into another organism without killing that organism?"
"Don't underestimate Wei Wei's extraordinary power," the old patriarch smiled and nodded, "Your guess is correct. Our current guess is a combination of your two guesses."
"There is a mysterious being that 'creates' ghost mushrooms."
He Ao said slowly.
"ah?"
Aini obviously didn't react. This was somewhat beyond her current knowledge system.
"Yes, we suspect that this man-eating mushroom is an experimental product created by some kind of higher being."
The old man said slowly.
"Then what are we?" At this time, Aini finally figured out what her father and the old patriarch were talking about. She looked at the old patriarch in surprise, "Culture culture?"
Ghost mushrooms absorb human flesh and blood to grow and reproduce.
I don't know why, but for the first time, Aini became afraid of the world she grew up in.
He Ao turned around and touched his daughter's head, showing a smile and comforting his daughter who was gradually seeing the truth about the world.
Aini looked at her father's calm face, and her shoulders that were originally hunched due to nervousness slowly relaxed.
She smiled at her father to reassure him.
At this time, the old patriarch had already turned his attention to He Ao, "Our current research results are only these. As for the high-level existence behind the man-eating mushroom, we cannot touch it."
Although you can't touch the high-level existence, you still have to destroy the ghost mushroom.
Even though this is a test product of a higher being, it has already threatened the lives of wilderness wanderers.
The continuous reproduction of these ghost mushrooms means that wilderness wanderers will face displacement or death.
The wilderness wanderers themselves are at the end of their rope.
"In the information I saw, the method to get rid of the ghost mushrooms is very simple," He Ao turned around and replied, "Burn the ghost mushrooms with fire. The ashes burned by the ghost mushrooms are very easy to burn, which can form a continuous
The intensity of the fire.”
"The burning of the flame will make the 'scent' of the man-eating mushroom more powerful,"
The old patriarch said hoarsely, "Even if only a single mushroom is roasted, a D-class extraordinary person may not be able to resist such a fragrance. And when the man-eating mushrooms gather together, the temptation will be doubled. If we set fire
If so, we will not only have to resist the man-eating mushrooms, but also face alien beasts."
What the old patriarch said is the difficulty encountered when burning ghost mushrooms.
When the ghost mushroom is roasted, it will emit a stronger fragrance. This fragrance will encourage the person who set the fire to eat it, and then it can escape the fate of being burned to ashes and continue to take root in the body of the person who set the fire.
germination.
But you can also use robots to set fire.
However, there is no network signal in the wilderness, and the signal will encounter strong interference if it is slightly farther away. Even if a repeater is used to relay the signal, it will still be interfered.
This means that the distance between the controller and the robot cannot be too far. The cumulative temptation effect and temptation area of the pieces of ghost mushrooms are very large, and the controller will most likely still be within the temptation range of the ghost mushrooms.
No matter what, the person who set the fire must face the temptation of ghost mushrooms, and he may not be able to resist it.
The second problem mentioned by the old patriarch is that the attraction of ghost mushrooms increases significantly when they gather together. If they are burned by fire, the cumulative temptation of ghost mushrooms will become stronger.
Then maybe the aroma of roasted ghost mushrooms will be wafting throughout the mountains and fields, and people around may be able to evacuate, but the strange beasts all over the mountains and fields will not listen to people's orders.
These strange beasts will rush towards the ghost mushrooms like crazy.
At that time, if any ghost mushrooms are eaten by strange animals and move away, the fire plan will also fail.
"We can set up a defense line on the outside and clean up the alien beasts that come in. As long as we prepare enough fuel, the ghost mushrooms will be burned out very quickly."
He Ao thought for a moment, and then said slowly, "It seems that the members of the Andavi family are naturally able to resist relatively strong spiritual temptations?"
In fact, he discovered very early on that the souls of the Andavi family were tighter than those of different people.
On the third floor of the hospital, researchers from the Andavi family were walking next to the ghost mushrooms not far from the ghost mushrooms, but none of them were attracted by the ghost mushrooms.
Although there is only one ghost mushroom, and it is separated by a glass cover, the fact that the members of the Andavi family can resist this temptation still shows their special physique.
The hair color of the entire Andavi family is light, and the young man from the Merck family who was brought here by He Ao also has light hair. That young man may also have part of the blood of the Andavi family, which allows him to play in the ghost mushroom.
Walking on the edge of the covered area.
This characteristic may be related to the secret hidden by the Andavi family. He Ao didn't know what the secret was, but he knew that according to the Andavi family's mental resistance, they should be able to operate on the edge of the ghost mushroom area, build defense facilities, and block
Those who are attracted to strange beasts.
Doing so will cause a great loss to the Andavi family.
But if you don’t deal with ghost mushrooms, the losses will be even greater.
The old patriarch seemed to fall into some kind of silence. After a moment, his cheeks covered with age spots slowly lifted up and said softly, "Okay."
Then he looked at He Ao, "But none of us can light a fire."
The person who lit the fire needs to spread the fuel deep into the area covered by the ghost mushroom, and needs to face the temptation of the ghost mushroom when the flames burn.
At this level, the natural resistance of the Andavi family is useless, and even D-class extraordinary people will be easily tempted if they enter.
This person is extremely crucial and is the core of the entire operation. If he is controlled by the ghost mushrooms and becomes a 'culture medium' before setting fire, there will be no further actions.
According to He Ao's feelings, even C-level people might die there.
However, He Ao can still resist this level of mental temptation.
"I can go," He Ao said softly, "then aim your plasma cannon at me, and fire once I'm tempted."
The old patriarch straightened up slightly, as if he was shocked by He Ao's decision.
In the final analysis, He Ao is just a passerby who happens to live here. The ghost mushrooms do not involve his core interests, so he can simply run away.
"what do you want?"
The old patriarch asked slowly.
All efforts must have a reason.
If He Ao is willing to fight like this, he must be seeking something.
"I want to know what the Fountain of Youth is, where it is, and how to find it."
He Ao looked at the old patriarch calmly and spoke word by word.
"I have already told you the legend of the Fountain of Youth."
The old patriarch replied slowly.
"I know that's not the whole story."
He Ao said slowly, "The ghost mushroom has swallowed up a wilderness wanderer camp."
The old patriarch was silent for a moment, "We don't know whether your method is effective."
He Ao: "We can do experiments first to see the effect."
The old patriarch became more and more silent.
Finally, he let out a long sigh and said, "Did you know that knowledge itself will bring the attention of high-ranking beings? The higher the level of extraordinary knowledge involved, the more terrifying the extraordinary events involved in the future will be."
"I know."
He Ao replied calmly.
Not only does he know that, he also has more than one good friend.
The old patriarch raised his head and stared at He Ao. He seemed to be thinking about something. Finally, he shook his head and said, "Although your soul seems to be very powerful, your body is too weak. You cannot enter the core area of the man-eating mushroom."
, and there is no way to withstand the whirlpool brought by the Fountain of Youth.”
He sighed slightly, "That's it..."
boom--
At this moment, a roaring sound of cannon exploded in the sky, like the roar of thunder.
Click——
At this moment, the closed wooden door was violently pushed open, and a somewhat immature teenager stood panting at the door and looked at the old patriarch.
"Patriarch, the Merk family came over. They brought many people and five particularly large mechas. Mr. Gila was seriously injured in a sneak attack while he was watching the sentry outside. He is now in a coma. The doctors in the hospital are
Rescue him."
Behind the boy is a sky full of dark clouds.
All this happened so suddenly. Only this young man rushed over to report the news. He even forgot to use the walkie-talkie.
Gila is the middle-aged man who always takes He Ao with him.
boom--
A flash of thunder streaked across the sky, followed by heavy rain, and strong winds passed through the eaves, making a roaring sound.
The old patriarch stared at the heavy rain outside, his cloudy eyes reflecting the raindrops, "Kaja..."
He looked at the half-grown boy and said, "Gather all the tribesmen who are capable of fighting. Get your guns and go up to the wall. Remember to prepare your raincoat. I will come right away."
"good."
The young man nodded and plunged into the rain.
The old patriarch took out a crutch from under the table, slowly propped himself up and stood up. Then he turned to look at He Ao, "We have something to do now. I want to trouble you to return to the tent and stop running around."
"Kaja is the high priest of the Merk family? Is that C-level here in person?"
However, He Ao did not move and just asked softly.
"Kaja's talent sequence is 'Talent Sequence 65: Rain Master', and the Merk family is good at fighting in the rain,"
The old patriarch said slowly as he walked out, "Kaja will create a heavy rain environment every time he fights in order to create favorable terrain for his family."
Talent sequence 65: Rain Master.
It seems to be a talent sequence that can use a range of abilities. This ability to create heavy rain is somewhat similar to the 'landslide and tsunami' created by Ho Ao with the Miracle Wand.
He Ao memorized this talent sequence, then he looked at the old patriarch, stood up slowly, and pulled out the prismatic dagger hidden in his clothes.
