Chapter 331 331. Mother's nest, insect swarm
To be fair, these "dishes" still taste delicious - if you can ignore their origins.
Want looked at his companions eating and couldn't help but ramble: "These are the things that the myconid race has accumulated through tasting over the generations, but I don't know why these mushrooms can be reproduced perfectly."
< br>
Companions: "..."
In fact, they don't really care about knowing the origin of these foods. A world like this is very strange in itself. If the origin of some things is really traceable, it may be unacceptable.
Fortunately, the little mushroom man transformed by Want also reacted after being stared at angrily by his companions for a while, and said with a smile: "I want to say that this special fungus mycelium can be used in different places."
These words finally had some effect. Lina was chewing on fungi that were almost the same as chicken drumsticks, thinking thoughtfully: "Can the nutrition keep up? What conditions does this kind of mycelium need to grow?" < br>
If a big meal could really be grown on the spot, it would be great whether it was sold as a specialty product or used as a logistical supply for the army, not to mention the research value of this thing.
If it can be mass-produced in the real world, the group of students from Dadi College will definitely join in crazy for such a topic - they are even studying artificial insemination of breeding pigs now.
Wante replied: "Fungi are very nutritious. I can see a lot of fiber in them. They should feel full. As for the growth conditions, it seems that they only need a simple fungus nutrient solution to grow."
As he said this, he stretched out his hand and waved it, and immediately a huge mushroom grew into a cup, which was filled with a pale white liquid that seemed to be constantly squirming.
To be honest, it looks quite weird, something like a fungus... sometimes it's really weird when it comes to weirdness. It doesn't have the kind of natural stretch of vitality that vegetation should have, and instead looks like some kind of mutated monster.
In such a special environment, Lina and others could not distinguish the magical structure of these things. They could only feel the twisted and powerful vitality inside, which was simply... like beating a mammoth tiger into juice and still alive.
Lina was immediately startled by her thoughts, "Can we take this thing back? According to your permission, what is it made of?"
"I haven't figured it out yet. I feel that I need to conduct careful inspection and analysis after I go back."
The little mushroom man scratched his hair with his hand: "According to the rules here, if you can come to me through the ceremony, you can wish for something."
"But you have to eat these things first before you can proceed to the next step!"
"Then what else are you talking about? We've already finished eating!"
Lina immediately gave an order - the apprentices brought over a group of feather pigs. The pigs elegantly and quickly summoned feathers with wind element magic, lifted the food to their mouths, and then Eat a lot.
They hardly need to move, they just need to lie down on the feather bed formed by the wind element, wait for the food to be brought to their mouths, and then enjoy the food.
The large amount of delicacies that the apprentices couldn't finish just now were devoured by them so quickly that they didn't even last for half an hour before they were all eaten.
After the pleasant meal time, Wante started the second welcome ceremony directly without any delay——
A huge, flowing river appeared in front of them, and the thing in the river... was actually clear water.
This is actually very abnormal. They have never seen water after coming here for so long, so the drink just now was filled with water. Why did water suddenly appear?
They instinctively felt that something was wrong, and they already didn't trust this place.
"What appears before you now is the second welcome ceremony. In the inheritance of the myconids... it tests the matching degree of the elements."
Want was actually a little unsure, because according to the information he saw in the core center where countless hyphae gathered, it was not a test, but... fusion.
But the final effect is indeed to test the sensitivity of various elements, so he feels very strange, always feeling that his thoughts seem to be affected in some way.
He himself didn't realize that his thoughts were gradually developing in the direction of the myconid. But Lina remembered Croya's warning, so she cautiously found a group of magic crystal mice to try.
"Let the Magic Crystal White Rat team try the magic structure of these liquids first."
"Okay."
The crystal-clear white mice, chattering and jumping happily, came out and went directly to the river, and then jumped in with a "plop-plop".
At first, they were swimming leisurely in the river, but after a while, their bodies were pulled by an invisible force, and their flesh, flesh and organs were decomposed gently and quickly by the mycelium.
——This scene is very strange.
The fur and flesh of the cheerful magic crystal rats were washed away by the river, but they were still alive and even flowing along the river towards the deepest part of the Fungus City.
Just imagine, a person's skin, flesh, internal organs and bone marrow have been decomposed, but he is still alive and can even communicate with you...
The female apprentice who was usually responsible for taking care of these white rats looked very sad and said aloud: "My contract with them has not been broken. They are currently in the river... No, they are flowing in the river of fungi and will converge into the ocean of fungi."
At this moment, she simply felt creepy. The contract split into different strands, but still maintained her thoughts and vitality, which made her deeply doubt that these magic crystal mice were still the ones she usually fed. Approval?
If she were not here, with a partner she trusted by her side, her first reaction would definitely be to leave, because this place was far beyond her ability to understand.
Knowledge does need to be gained by exploring the unknown, but if it is all unknown and there is no clue, exploration is meaningless.
When she described her guess and the apprentices looked at each other in horror and horror, the change happened again——
"Please enter the river."
"Please enter the river."
"Please enter the river."
Some fungi sprouted up on the ground like bamboo shoots after a rain, forcing them to move toward the river, and sending out cold and hard mental waves.
This means that each of them was on guard, and that's why they didn't fall directly into the river. If they had been a little less relaxed, they would have fallen in long ago if they were pushed by the hyphae from behind.
But even so, they couldn't help but said angrily:
"What?"
"Are these things alive?"
"Did you do it, Want? You want to be beaten, right?"
Lina's first reaction when she stabilized her body was to directly grab the mycelium villain Want who was gradually dissolving. Then she took out the chain that had been blessed by Croya himself from her pocket and tied it tightly. Reality.
"You'd better calm down."
She said: "There is something wrong with you now. You need to remember that you are a human and you are Lord Croya's apprentice - these identities are before the Lord of this fungus city!"
"If you are swallowed by the consciousness of these fungi, your wife will be snatched away by someone else, and your newborn son will not only have to call another person father, but will also be beaten by him!"
As soon as these words came out, the face of the little man who was bound by the golden chains suddenly showed a look of horror.
"Absolutely not!"
Wante trembled, obviously sobering up.
Lena was satisfied with her mental magic attack.
There was a subtle expression on her face: "Does your memory say that if a visiting guest directly calls in... what will happen?"
She thought that if the current situation continued with the myconid's hospitality ritual, some strange things would probably happen.
More importantly, she thinks this is a ceremony to meet the Fungus City Lord. Will Want really become the Fungus City Lord in the process?
Lord Croya's warning was still echoing in her heart: It was a good thing for the myconids, but for them, and for humans... it was really not a good outcome.
Therefore, she decisively decided to take violent measures and control the initiative on her side. No matter what, the situation could not be worse than the current situation.
Anyway, they originally planned to go all the way in. Compared to slowly decrypting it, they felt that it would be faster and more cost-effective to go in. "Well..."
Want, who was scolded by her, struggled hard to get out his consciousness that had been assimilated by the fungus.
Then he replied: "Myconids admire strong power. If you can fight all the way, you should be able to get higher standards of treatment..."
Before he finished speaking, the four apprentices headed by Lina had already taken out the standard battle mage robes and staffs from their pockets. Their hands were full of rings like nouveau riche, and they even kept one. Pocket watch shaped force guide.
"Didn't you tell me earlier?"
"I've long been unhappy with these fungi!"
"Why waste time when you can fight."
The monsters and magic plants not far away also received orders and lined up, with the immortal city wall potatoes as the first echelon, followed by some small trees growing red peppers, corn-shaped cannonballs, and vines that emitted electric energy... …
Needless to say, they had already started spraying a powerful offensive in front of them. Various elemental bullets, flame ice cones and other powers directly overwhelmed the fungus forest.
Want, who was far away in the core center, inexplicably felt an angry consciousness rising in his mind - these people, "he" obviously gave them the highest level of courtesy, why did they still attack!
The light of the golden and azure potions flickering in his soul still existed, emitting a chill that was enough to sting his soul.
Anger and bone-chilling coldness surrounded him, which actually made him more awake. He finally realized that there was something left here that was gradually eroding him!
After realizing this, he took the initiative to wrap the chain around himself tighter, even cutting it deeply into his flesh, and then jumped into Lina's pocket and stayed there obediently.
He knew very well that the current situation was beyond his control, and the only thing he could do was not to cause trouble.
Without the intervention of his consciousness, the fungus forest came to life directly.
One after another, the fungus beasts rushed over crazily. They all still carried the consciousness and combat experience left when the myconids created them, and began to bite the army of magic plants and magic beasts.
Because they had almost invulnerable bodies and a steady stream of aid, they almost overwhelmingly suppressed the armies of monsters and magic plants.
Even though these magic plants and monsters have been carefully cultivated and are considered to be leaders in their respective positions, they were beaten back steadily for a while, and they only had the strength to defend.
There are still apprentices around to assist in casting spells, using ordinary magic while using the magic contained in the force guide to help.
This is an extremely rare situation. You must know that the warcraft and magic plant armies have no disadvantage when facing the elite knights of the Holy See.
The more this happened, the calmer the apprentices became, and they began to set up some magic circles for amplification on the spot.
Lina hesitated and took out a giant egg half a person's height from her pocket, then pricked her finger and dripped blood on it.
——This is the final resort for all pioneering teams. There is a seal set by Croya himself that can only be broken by the blood of the team leader.
If it wasn't really an emergency, she wouldn't use this.
After dripping with blood, the magic seal on the surface of the giant egg gradually dissipated and the shell quickly broke.
A worker bee crawled out slowly and circled on the ground several times.
Then its body suddenly sprayed out mucus, covering it completely. After a while, a miniature version of the mother's nest was born.
The larvae around the mother nest quickly hatch into more worker bees, and the worker bees directly dig up the surroundings and transport all the mycelium to fill the mother nest.
They are really cold and efficient. In almost half an hour, the light gray fungi belonging to the mother's nest gradually covered the hyphae originally on the ground.
Then more buildings such as the Mother's Nest, Split Pools, and Towers rose from the ground. These buildings shrank and breathed as if they had their own lives, continuously passing the digested essence to the Mother's Nest.
Lina watched from the side as groups of springtails, hydralisks, flying dragons, cockroaches and other insects emerged from the eggs around the mother nest. Each one of them looked very strange and could be said to be ferocious.
But it was comparable to the most disciplined human army, and there was almost no error of one centimeter in the formation - this weird feeling made Lina feel instinctively afraid.
He is even more afraid of them than those fungus beasts.
Even if these zerg are her allies, even if her blood has soaked into the zerg's nest, and she can clearly feel the heartbeat rhythm of the zerg, she still feels scared.
The mother's nest also discovered this. It shrank gently, its horny shell dripped with viscous liquid, and made an elegant and melodious female voice:
"You don't have to worry."
"My master."
It sent several half-human-high springtails around Lena. These guys with sharp teeth, sharp claws, and even wings like locusts pushed Lena with their heads.
That is the only weakness in their bodies, covered by thick horny carapace, but what is transmitted through their hard horny carapace is abundant temperature, which is continuously passed to Lina - who was a little scared just now The apprentice seemed to be no longer afraid all of a sudden.
Compared to humans, or Warcraft...these Zerg's feelings are particularly clear, and they just like them if they like them. It reminded her of the little guy she had at home who had been with her for several years. It was either a monster or an ordinary puppy.
"Are you really... a love brain?"
She remembered what Croya once said, and suddenly she felt it was very appropriate. Aren't dogs just love brains? He only loves his master wholeheartedly, wants to be close to him, and wants to accompany him.
The springtail raised its head and looked at her in confusion, but also carefully restrained its sharp wings and fangs for fear of hurting this too fragile human being.
This scene made Lina's heart palpitate. After thinking about it for a moment, she took out a treasure given to her by Croya - a sunflower-shaped badge from the deepest part of her pocket.
Wrapped in the crystal-clear crystal are rotating notes one after another. They are intertwined and intertwined, just like the movements on a musical score.
She slowly walked towards the mother's nest, stood in front of the tall mother's nest and raised this sunflower badge: "Eat it, and then help us win."
"You..." The mother nest was a little moved, but it did not hesitate. A worker bee carefully took the sunflower badge and entered the mother nest.
As the mother nest of war, it can only survive for a short time. Its only goal is to quickly complete the tasks assigned to it by the summoner while it is still alive.
The entire brood trembled violently. It could not completely control the music wrapped in the crystal. It could only go with the flow, and soon created several animals through the music...with feathered wings and possessing He has a toned body and a head that looks like a dog’s.
They flapped their wings and played the harps made of cuticles and flesh on their hands, leading the insect swarm and inserting themselves directly into the battlefield like an arrow from a string.
——Of course, among them are the springtails that just used their heads to push Lina. In other words, the light shining on them is the brightest, and their ferocious appearance looks sacred and majestic under the light of circles.
Then... there is no more.
Lina clearly saw the two springtails that rushed into the fungus group first and were beaten. Even with a ring of various sacred magic blessings on their bodies, they could not withstand the beating.
They died quickly, killing thousands of fungus beasts before dying. Their bodies fell into a mud composed of mycelium and flesh, and they were no longer distinguishable after a few seconds.
"..." Lina clenched her hand slightly.
The mother's nest made a still very calm sound:
"Don't feel bad for them, it's our destiny."
But even after it said this, Lina still felt her heart was clogged. After hesitating for a moment, she took out Want from her pocket, who was curled up in a ball and shivering.
"Is it okay if your body dies?" There was murderous intent in her tone.
"...No, no problem." Want tried his best to shrink back.
Before Want finished speaking, Lina threw him directly to the nest: "He is a life that is closely related to the mycelium here. You analyze him!"
The brood opened its huge mouth in silence and caught Want.
Even the calm Brood knows that it is best not to say anything now, otherwise it will be bad luck.
