Seeing that the clock tower was closed and there seemed to be no sign of the monster inside coming out, everyone was relieved.
Not to mention that the clock tower was too weird, the danger and unpreventability of those mycelial creatures also exceeded their expectations!
Zhao Yuecheng grabbed Kong Sang's arm, looked at the ferocious stitched scars, and frowned:
"You are no longer a novice, why are you still so careless?"
"It hurts, it hurts!" Kong Sang grinned and pulled his wrist out of Zhao Yuecheng's palm, saying with a slight dissatisfaction: "Your hand is too strong, be careful."
Zhao Yuecheng snorted coldly: "As expected, I can't leave you for a moment. You should be more careful!"
Kong Sang shrugged: "I was indeed careless this time. The dangers of the mycelial creatures are much more terrifying than what we encountered in the crew building."
"It seems that we still have many shortcomings in the grasp of intelligence."
On the side, Zhao Xiaocheng couldn't help but said: "I think... the biggest problem now is not danger!"
"It's that weird adaptability."
"When we were in the crew building before, the yellow spring water and Feng spring water from Kongsang could still have an absolute effect."
"But after entering here, the Huangquan water has begun to lose its effect. Even the Fengquan water."
"Even ghosts are afraid of this method. It seems that there is no absolute killing effect on these mycelial creatures."
Qian Pianpian also nodded in agreement and said in a deep voice:
"My soul-burning black fire has only been used about three times, and it has already begun to make the mycelium organisms tolerant."
"And the most tingling thing is...the tolerance effect between these hyphae seems to be able to evolve synchronously."
"The parts we destroy can increase the tolerance of the parts that were not destroyed at the same time!"
Kong Sang frowned:
"It is indeed a problem."
"This is simply like a very advanced evolutionary chain."

"As a result, the longer the delay in this factory, the fewer effective methods we can use."
"And...no matter who it is, even Dachengzi, absolutely...cannot be touched by the mycelium!"
The four of them looked at each other and decided to call it a day.
They also need to leave some energy to investigate during the day.
They also need to carefully verify what the incense picking work is like.
On the way back, Kongsang took out his notebook and started recording the various mycelial organisms he had seen so far.
If all the high-level incense slaves they created on a whim, as mentioned by the Black Mountain Ghosts, are excluded...
Currently, the monsters encountered can be roughly divided into two types.
The first one is the result of genetic changes after inhaling a large amount of Eight Immortals Incense, resulting in the transformation into a lust beast.
Desire beasts will give birth to desire seeds.
But the purpose of the seeds is still unknown.
However, from the factory's perspective, desire seeds are very important and should have a unique role.
There is no clear pattern in the appearance of desire seeds.
Whether it was Liu Yuyang, Wang Jingyun, or the lust beast they saw in the elevator just now, they all looked completely different.
For example, Liu Yuyang is like a big tree.
And the lust beast they saw hidden in the elevator was more like a fusion of a god statue and an insect.
Moreover, the seed of desire can not only be gradually born in the body of the person who consumes it, but can also be directly lodged in the body of others in the form of foreign objects.
For example, Wang Jingyun was directly given the seed of desire without inhaling the Eight Immortals Incense.
In the end, she also turned into a monster without knowing it.
The second type is this weird mycelial organism.

Mycelial organisms have strong parasitic and corruptive abilities. Once encountered, they can successfully host themselves in the human body.
Although there seems to be a certain pattern with sex.
But mycelium organisms feel like some kind of virus with its own consciousness.
So far, most of the monsters composed of mycelial organisms do not exist in reality.
For example...the baby monster Qian Pianpian saw in Zihe's car.
For example, the young Chen Shiyu I met.
Or maybe it was the wooden carved heads that the four of them faced in the clock tower just now.
In addition, when these mycelial organisms exist in independent forms, most of them exist in the form of female infants.
In this way, it can be proved from the side that this matter is most likely to have a very big connection with Chen Shiyu!
Suddenly, Kong Sang stopped, the expression on his face seemed to be that he had thought of something.
Seeing this, the other three people couldn't help but look at Kong Sang with some doubts.
Kong Sang stared at the three of them and suddenly said: "When the lust beast dies, there will be mold spots, hyphae, and... the kind of clean mucus that can corrode people in an instant."
"Obviously, there must be a relationship between mycelial organisms and seed."
"And when we entered the factory this morning, the person in charge said that when we pick incense on weekdays, there is a certain probability of finding seeds on the sandalwood."
"so……"
"Can we sort these things out?"
After saying that, Kongsang sat directly on the ground and started drawing on his notebook.
The other three people surrounded Kong Sang.
"Look!"
"If we assume that the lust beast is a monster created by adding humans to mycelial organisms!"
"This kind of monster with its own ideology will inevitably start to forcefully escape when it discovers that its host is about to die."
"It's like the parasites we find in animals and insects."
"Before the host dies, the parasite will look for the next host."
"So, when the host is clearly about to die, hyphae will begin to appear, and that weird mucus should be the part of the human body that has been tampered with by hyphae."
"Therefore, mycelial organisms come first. Only when you encounter mycelial organisms will you turn into a lust beast without knowing it."
"As time goes by, seeds of desire will appear in the body!"
"Then think about it on the other hand, if the sandalwood trees in front of us can also produce desire seeds, I think there are two possibilities!"
"Either... it's the mycelium organisms that have merged with these ordinary plants."
"Either..."
Zhao Yuecheng's eyebrows twitched: "Either... the desire beast is not its final form!"

"As the desire beast continues to develop, when more and more mycelial organisms become present, it will turn into... the kind of sandalwood we see?"
Kong Sang said solemnly: "I personally prefer the second possibility!"
"And didn't you notice?"
"If you reason it out this way, it's a cycle!"
"Don't forget, we have been poisoned now."
"But after thinking about it, the possibility of poisoning us is in the air."
"Then...the scent of this sandalwood is the most suspicious substance!"
The three of them also felt that what Kong Sang said made sense.
Mycelium organisms merge with humans and become lust beasts.
The desire beast bears desire seeds and gradually evolves into sandalwood.

The fragrance of sandalwood infects healthy people.
Unconsciously, healthy people's bodies are gradually covered with hyphae and begin to form sexual seeds.
And so on and on...
"Wait, there is another question!" Qian Pianpian couldn't help but said: "How did those customers on the account books become lustful beasts?"
"They have no way of encountering this kind of mycelium creature..."
However, before he finished speaking, Qian Pianpian's pupils shrank.
Seeing this, Kong Sang nodded solemnly: "It seems you have thought of it."
"That's right. It seems that the reason why the Eight Immortals Incense produced in the factory has its addictiveness set so high..."
"The real core purpose is to inhale the mycelium organisms into the host through the scent!"
"Moreover, in order to ensure that this link can be carried out step by step, no one will find any flaws."
"The parasitic effect of mycelial organisms is much more fragile than what we encounter in factories."
"This also explains why the mycelium organisms encountered in the crew building are easy to deal with, but the ones here are very troublesome!"
"Because the concentration is different! The intensity is also different!"
Immediately, Kong Sang took out the strange fragment he had just obtained from the shrine.
"Now there is another question."
"That's what this fragment is."
"Xiao Cheng, Pianpian, let the immortals and ghosts come out to take a look. Maybe... they know?"
Zhao Xiaocheng and Qian Pianpian nodded.
Things were in a hurry just now.
But if they were just brought back to the dormitory, with others around, they really wouldn't be able to investigate the mystery of this fragment.
Immediately, the five great immortals and medicine ghosts appeared one after another.
They looked at the fragments carefully, holding them in their palms to observe from time to time.
After a long time, Yao Gui was the first to speak: "What I can tell is... this is not a living thing, it should be some kind of special object."
"But... there is no poisonous mycelium attached to it, so it is very safe."
Among the five great immortals, the Great Python Immortal and the Great Gray Immortal shook their heads.
Fox Great Immortal doesn't seem to understand this fragment either.
Wong Tai Sin, on the other hand, looked at Bai Tai Sin:
"Lao Bai, do you feel... deja vu?"
Bai Daxian pondered for a moment and then said: "It is indeed somewhat similar to that ancient method."
Seeing that he seemed to have a clue, Kong Sang quickly said: "Two great immortals, what do you say?"
Wong Tai Sin immediately said: "We suspect... these should be fragments that have been specially dried using ancient methods."
"In ancient times, when many emperors and generals wanted to bury some special documents and ancient books with them, in order to ensure that the fragments would not be corroded, they would use special methods to dry them."
"Or... it would be more accurate to describe it as weathering!"
"After this kind of process, the object will dry up and shrink, making it impossible for people to tell what it is."
"But as long as it can be soaked in suitable materials, it can be restored to its previous appearance."
Kong Sang frowned.
Appropriate materials?
So...ordinary water won't work.
"To be enshrined there in a shrine, this fragment is definitely not simple!"
At this moment, there was another whistling sound coming from all around.
"Look!"
“The mold seems to be receding around here!”
Following the direction of the Xian family, the four of them looked around.
Sure enough, the mold-covered situation began to subside, and at the same time, the sandalwood forest behind them began to gradually become filled with thick fog, as if it had disappeared!
"Hyphae subsided?"
"Maybe it will be daytime, and this place may disappear. Let's go back to the dormitory building first!"
