The King Next Door

Chapter 3: Wandering Corpse Mushrooms, Going Out to Distress

A chicken, a duck, a rabbit, and a big pig weighing more than 100 catties.

These four animals all stayed in the cage in a daze, as if they had lost their souls.

"They're actually dead." Wang Ye knocked on the cage. The four animals inside basically didn't respond, but they didn't look like they were really dead.

Wang Ye opened the cage, but the four animals did not respond.

Wang Ye took out a bloody pig leg, took out a live fish, took out things like millet leaves, and put them in the cage. The four animals still didn't respond much.

Wang Ye touched the four animals one by one, and even patted their bodies, but the four animals were still standing or lying there.

"Are they dead or alive?" Lei Mu was confused.

"It's correct to say that they have transformed into another life form. Have you seen the things above their heads?" Wang Ye hooked his fingers. Lei Mu took a closer look, looked at it for a long time, and then said hesitantly: "What grows

on their heads is... a mushroom?"

The corpse has four kinds of mushrooms, although they are all mushrooms, but they are not of the same species." "

...Can you eat it?" Lei Mu asked quietly.

Wang Ye laughed, as expected of Mumu, he thought the same as him: "It's really edible. I cut some of those mushrooms for analysis, and they are not poisonous. It's just that there are a lot of spores in the fungus." Lei Mu: "

Spores ? Not that ultra-microorganism?"

Wang Ye shrugged: "No. Let's put it this way, the essence of ultra microbes should be a kind of ultra micro bacteria, which can decompose and convert inanimate bodies into primordial energy. When encountering living life forms, it will use the life energy of living things, Merge yourself with living things, and when the living things die and wake up, they will become another species, that is, mushrooms."

Wang Ye pointed to the four animals in the cage, and said with melancholy eyes: "Don't look They are still the same as before, in fact, there is a big mushroom inside. According to their characteristics, I named these new mushrooms, called corpse mushrooms." "Very appropriate." Lei Mu paused: "

So Are corpse mushrooms and hypermicrobes the same thing?"

Wang Ye shook his finger: "No, they are two completely different species, and corpse mushrooms are like evolutions of hypermicrobes that have chosen different evolution directions. Hypermicrobes It will not decompose and transform these corpse mushrooms, and it will not even enter the body of corpse mushrooms. In short, you can look at ultramicrobes and corpse mushrooms separately." "Are corpse mushrooms

contagious?"

"You asked the key Yes." Wang Ye said solemnly: "Yes. Corpse mushroom is the same as zombie virus, as long as it is stained with its spores or eaten, it will turn the living thing into a new corpse mushroom." "That's more than

enough Will ultramicrobes turn living things into corpse mushrooms, and corpse mushroom spores will also turn living things into corpse mushrooms?" "

Yes!"

"Double blow." Lei Mu shook his head and asked again: "What about ultramicrobes? How long does it take for the corpse mushroom spores to transform living things into corpse mushrooms?"

Wang Ye: "Soon, no matter whether it is ultramicrobes or corpse mushroom roe deer, as far as my current experimental results are concerned, the shortest half an hour."

Lei Mu frowned: "Aren't they flawed and weak?"

Wang Ye thought for a moment, and replied: "It's not that there are no. Just talking about ultra-microorganisms, they have no intelligence and no aggressiveness. They just instinctively convert everything into energy. They will not avoid other people's attacks. If you use thousands of degrees These ultra-microorganisms will die if they are burned by flames or lightning above. Ultra-low temperature is also acceptable, and they will also die if it is lower than minus one hundred degrees." "In

addition, to kill and transform living organisms, ultra-microorganisms must enter the living organisms. That is, the way of infection through breathing and bodily fluids. Originally, a mask can block them. But the scary thing about this thing is that there are too many and too small, and it can also decompose the protective clothing and masks into energy, which is impossible to guard against "

The corpse mushrooms have more weaknesses. There are many ways to kill them, such as boiling or roasting them. The way they transform living things is also through breathing and bodily fluid infection. Interestingly, They all grow mushrooms from the head, where the brain is, as if the brain is the first to develop in this new species."

Lei Mu immediately felt bad: "Are they conscious?"

Wang Ye was unsure : "Not yet, but I found that they can absorb elemental energy and also absorb stray spiritual power. So I speculate that as long as this kind of corpse mushroom survives long enough and absorbs enough elemental energy and spiritual force, they are very Maybe it will produce consciousness, including attack power. Whether this is the case, we will know when we come into contact with this world." "So,

this kind of corpse mushroom is likely to evolve into an intelligent species? Just like our double-moon star underground human race Mushroom man in the middle?"

"Very likely."

"Troublesome."

"Yeah, big trouble."

It stands to reason that this kind of corpse mushroom is as dangerous as ultra-microorganisms and should be eliminated. However, it is instinctive for people to spread spores, and they may evolve into intelligent races in the future, so there is no way to treat them as harmful species.

Wang Ye looked at the four animals in the cage and scratched his brows. As long as he thinks that these four dead animals have been transformed into another species, and maybe they will evolve into intelligent species in the future, he will get dizzy.

Is it better for him to kill him, or to keep it?

Save it for now and see what changes in the future.

"I also tried it with magic plants and low-level monsters. Living creatures with magic power can resist the invasion of ultra-microorganisms for a little longer. Below the third level, it can last up to one day. I haven't experimented with the third level and above."

Wang Ye and Lei Mu looked at each other.

Both of them thought of one thing: Zong Lao has been in this world for more than four years, can he resist this ultra-microorganism?

Is Mr. Chong now...

Wang Ye shook his head vigorously, he firmly believed that Master Chong must still be alive.

Who is his worm master?

That is the famous Chong Laomo, and has tenth-level strength. With a good brain, good strength, and a strong heart, capable of both dog and madness, good at playing with worms, and even more ruthless than anyone else when necessary, such a worm master will definitely survive, and maybe he will live a very good life.

"The black shadow in the video you took also has a piece protruding from its head. I suspect it may also be a corpse mushroom." It may even be Zong Lao.

Wang Ye didn't say anything later, but Lei Mu could hear Wang Ye's worry and anxiety.

After all, this place is near the teleportation array. If Zong Lao is infected by ultra-microorganisms and turns into a zombie mushroom, he will probably stay nearby.

"It can't be Zong Lao." Lei Mu said with great certainty: "He is such a careful person, and he was suddenly teleported, so he will definitely take all precautions."

Although Wang Ye was anxious, he was also stable: "I don't think it will be him either. The old man is very cunning and good at protecting himself. He can live for so long when he is drilled into his brain by the soul-eating insect. In the end, he insisted on waiting until I Although this ultra microbe is annoying, he must have a way to resist it."

"We will find him." Lei Mu made his tone full of affirmation and confidence.

Wang Ye laughed: "Yes, we will definitely find the old man."

"Wait!" Lei Mu thought of something and immediately asked: "There is such a kind of ultra-microorganism here, how can there be living things left in this world? Correct Development, shouldn't this world be completely decomposed by this ultra-microorganism and turned into cosmic energy?"

"Good question!" Wang Ye quickly dragged a small box as if waiting for this question: "This is what I collected. I found some sandstones in this world. I found that these sandstones contain a kind of energy, and the ultra-microorganisms are extremely repulsive to this kind of energy." "

What energy?"

"My identification technique tells me that this kind of energy is called star force. A kind of energy that is completely different from the original energy converted from the decomposition of ultra-microorganisms." "

So there are two kinds of original energy in this world?" Lei Mu was surprised.

Wang Ye pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "No, I think primordial energy is the original energy of this world, and star power...should come from the stars in this world. Of course, these are all my speculations. We have to actually decide what to do. Only when you get in touch with this world will you know."

The question returns to the original point.

If they want to go out, they must first solve the problem of breathing, and the second is ultra-microorganisms.

"Don't worry about breathing. I can make a filter mask that filters out the air components of this world that are poisonous to us, including that ultra-microbe."

Wang Ye didn't wait for Lei Mu to ask, and added: "The decomposing ability of the ultra-microorganisms is indeed very powerful, but they are not so powerful that they can decompose everything. If this is the case, this world will disappear long ago. For example It cannot decompose and invade the substance of star power." "

So next, I plan to collect some mineral raw materials nearby to refine special filter masks."

It didn't take Wang Ye a long time to refine masks containing star power .

In just two days, he successfully extracted the star power, and used local sandstone as part of the raw materials to make a mask.

It's a mask, not a mask, because Wang Ye thinks it's safer.

Lei Mu and Jin Bao, who was squatting on his shoulders, stood in front of the isolation window to watch Wang Ye put on the mask.

The mask automatically fitted Wang Ye's head, like a second skin.

After a few seconds, the mask becomes transparent.

Jin Bao was amazed. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have thought that Xiao Yezi's father was wearing a mask.

Lei Mu also praised: "You are getting better and better at alchemy now."

Wang Ye touched his face and said modestly, "It's okay, it's okay."

"Mumu, then I'm going out."

"Be careful."

"Papa, be careful!"

Lei Mu's and Jin Bao's voices sounded at the same time.

Wang Ye turned his head and waved his hands vigorously. Tsk, how can there be a sense of déjà vu when the head of the family goes out to work and is sent out by his wife and children?

It's fine if Jinbao is his son, but Mumu is his wife?

Hahaha! Wang Ye laughed silently.

He didn't know why he laughed, he just thought this kind of imagination was very interesting.

He even fantasized about Lei Mu wearing an apron... oh, it's kind of cute.

In fact, he is the one who often wears an apron to cook at home.

Wang Ye laughed again.

Lei Mu looked at Wang Ye in the worm's nest and didn't know what to think of, he kept laughing all the way, the heaviness on his face gradually disappeared, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.

With Xiao Yezi here, no matter how difficult things are, it seems that they are not so difficult to solve.

Wang Ye wandered around, but didn't see any living things.

He can only continue to walk far away.

It is daytime, but today is a cloudy day, the sky is overcast, the clouds are thick, and it may rain.

Just as he was thinking so, a thunderous sound came from afar, and the clouds in the sky lit up with lightning.

It's going to rain, do you want to go back to the worm's nest?

No, he hasn't detected anything yet, so let's go around and see.

call out! A sharp arrow shot towards his back.

Wang Ye heard the wind and quickly dodged.

But the arrow turned a corner? !

Wang Ye immediately used the causal skill [Entangled], trying to entangle the sharp arrow.

But... what's going on?

Why can't he pull the causal energy?

He knows that the original energy of this world is different from the double moon star and the earth, but the causal energy is different from other energies, as long as the cause and effect are established, it can be used.

At this moment, someone attacked him, and he fought back, and there was cause and effect.

But why can't he use his karma skills? !
