"Good craftsmanship." Xu Huo praised it without hesitation.
"The district where I was born was incorporated into the game very early. Before I evolved, I was in the butchering business." Chi Xian said: "The craftsmanship is all acquired through practice, and I am also good at cooking."
"Then I'll take advantage today." Xu Huo said.
Chi Xian said with a smile that he could just wait and eat.
If what he said is true, animals that have been parasitized by fungi are especially delicious to eat.
"Thank you for the gift of nature." Chi Xian said with a smile.
After eating, he said that he would go to the nearby area to see if there were any fungi worth taking away. After a few days of consideration, Xu Huo seemed to have changed his mind and planned to complete a dungeon in Area 013. The Suffocating Rainforest Station
Bian was obviously not a good place to complete the dungeon, and he happened to have a ticket for Big Eye Station in his hand.
Chi Xian didn't know much about the dungeon near the station, but he was sure that he didn't want to go back to Area 013 through the station, so he made an appointment to go together. Anyway, Shiyao Island is not far from the Choking Rainforest on the map.
Then he put away the "Secret Place" props and returned to the rainforest where flying dust was floating.
Xu Huo randomly found a stone cave to rest.
After resting for half a day and feeling exhausted, he began to check the results of housekeeper No. 11.
There are several passages that have been forcibly destroyed, and the entrances have been completely buried with stones. In addition, it has found several boulders suitable for blocking the fungus caves.
I don’t know if Butterfly Bone Town was really completely destroyed. In short, I didn’t see any books or papers here, not even a simple map. There were only a few places where the trap locations were marked with stones on the wall.
Most of the things in ordinary people's homes are made from local materials. For example, tableware and tableware are made of fruit shells or wood branches. Others, such as beds and quilts, are made of leaves. The better ones are made of leaves, and the worse ones are just a few rags.
——If the people I met before were still wearing clothes, looking at this scene, I would almost think that this place is uncivilized.
Combined with the piles of shoulder blades in the underground caves, the city near this rainforest must have suffered a huge disaster caused by the invasion of non-fungi. Almost everything about the previous civilizations was destroyed, and there was only one left on the ground.
It doesn't matter whether the iconic station was originally here.
So after resting, he started searching around again.
Until a city ruins were discovered far away from Butterfly Bone Town.
Different from the caves I just saw, the foundations of the city are still preserved here. Traces of modern civilization can be seen in the ruins. Occasionally, one or two human bones that have not completely disappeared can be seen among the lush grass and fungi.
Judging from their distribution, they should be the skeletons of people who died here before they had time to restrain themselves.
The city is not small, and many places in the middle are completely buried, creating colorful vacancies. But when Xu Huo walked past the broken wall of a building, he unexpectedly saw a human-shaped bulge lying on the ground.
It is indeed human-shaped. From a distance, it looks like a specially shaped green plant, but it is composed of a type of fungus with dense mycelium standing on the surface.
These "humanoids" are different in height, short, fat, and thin. They lie in rows and one next to each other. At a glance, there are at least hundreds of them.
Xu Huo stood at the edge, dug down on the spot, and soon dug out human bones. The strange thing was that these bones were also covered with a layer of green hair. At first glance, they looked like jade, but the green hair could
When you scrape it off, you will find that the white bones inside, which are colonized by fungi, have densely packed pinhole-like holes.
This skeleton is about the same size as the humanoid colonies growing on the ground.
After taking a few steps, he dug out two more skeletons. By comparison, he found that the humanoid flora on the ground and the human bones buried underground were about the same size.
"It's amazing." Chi Xian happened to come here, and he bowed to the humanoid bacteria on the ground, "This is a kind of pleasant fungus. They especially like to grow into adults, but it takes a long time to grow, and usually only
Only the dead allow them to parasitize and imitate like this, and this is the final result. Some districts will plant this fungus in cemeteries to express their condolences to the deceased."
"I happened to get off the car at a cemetery once, and I saw people lying all over the mountain. The scene was so spectacular."
Xu Huo buried the bones back as they were, "It can imitate humans and grow. The mutants in the game are amazing."
"Don't underestimate these mutants," Chi Xian said: "There is a type of fungus called the Net that can even communicate with each other across a partition. No one knows how they do it."
"Communication across partitions?" Xu Huo was a little curious, "What kind of communication method?"
"Habits," Chi Xian explained: "For example, on this island, someone destroyed part of the fungus. When the fungus grows later, it will specially supply nutrients to the damaged place. Correspondingly, another place thousands of miles away
On the island, bacteria in the same growth state will grow wildly in the corresponding places."
"It sounds a bit unsmart, but this is based on experiments. As long as these fungi are in a zone without special means to isolate them, they can sense each other."
He was really obsessed with fungi, so he didn't bother talking about them. Seeing Xu Huo's interest, he also talked about his understanding and imagination of fungi, "Fungi are everywhere, and it is difficult for some animals and plants to survive."
They can survive wherever they go. Human beings are evolving, and they are also evolving. Once they grow, they often form swarms. The net fungus is a good reminder. Maybe the fungi have their own information network in the world.
In a sense, they must make humans more adaptable to evolution, otherwise there would not be a zone like Area 013."
"Maybe one day fungi will become the dominant player in nature."
"In addition, toadstools have long been a part of the game's food chain. They are more secretive and convenient to use than props. Like the people in Area 013, if the sequelae of parasitism are ignored, from a certain perspective, they have an advantage over ordinary players.
"
Xu Huo understood what he meant, which was to transform the human body into a state that can coexist with fungi. He could use various fungi as he pleased without having to bear the negative consequences caused by poisonous bacteria or mutual erosion of fungi.
This may have sounded like fantasy in the past or to other players. As a real beneficiary, he certainly couldn't think that Chi Xian was fanciful.
"Are there any players who want to super evolve in this area?" Xu Huo thought briefly: "Even if you want to evolve in this direction, you must first experiment with your body."
Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes is not an empty talk. Super evolution, especially the physical evolution to super evolution, is actually partly achieved through long-term exercise. Spiritual evolution and space evolution are also based on one's own talents. And such bacteria in the rainforest
Humans naturally have no soil to coexist with humans. To complete evolution in this area, it is bound to go through a lot of accumulation, so the chance of success is still very small.
Chi Xian was a little surprised that he accepted it well, but he quickly said meaningfully: "It depends on human effort."
