Chapter 22: The Twilight Forest
Ye Tianxue and Ash signed a contract with the elemental bacteria and guided them into their bodies, but they didn't see any changes for the time being, Ash only felt that there seemed to be something squirming in his body, and his whole body was numb, and he was a little comfortable.

Ye Tianxue felt that her body temperature was dropping, the normal human body temperature was 37 degrees 5, and Ye Tianxue's current body temperature was 35 degrees, and it continued to drop.
Rust said that this is a normal reaction, the human body will have a rejection reaction to foreign objects, the rejection period is followed by the adaptation period, and then the transformation period, as long as you survive the rejection period and enter the adaptation period, then everything will go smoothly, the transformation period is not a problem, the only difference between the transformation period is the length of time, the problem is how to survive the most difficult rejection period, this is the point.
"Lord Fungus, why don't we go to a place first?" Tai Sui said to Lin Tianxing before setting off for the Tinia Kingdom.
"To a place, to a place?"
"That's where I first met the Fungus Master. ”
"Where we first met, no, I don't go. Lin Tianxing remembered it, but he just remembered it, so he didn't want to go, after he went to that place once, he didn't want to go a second time.
"Let's take a look, I haven't seen you for three years, and my brothers don't know how far they've grown now. Your enemy is more than just one, and for future battles, you'll need a base camp and a stable and safe rear. By the way, let's see if we can bring them out, their combat effectiveness and ability, there is no doubt about it, isn't it?" Tai Sui has already thought about it very long-term.
Lin Tianxing pondered for a moment, "Okay, then let's go and take a look, I hope those guys haven't made a big mess in the past few years." ”
Ten days later, Lin Tianxing and his party came to the Twilight Forest, which can be said to be a rare forest, because this forest is full of a smell of corrupt twilight from beginning to end.
It is said that thousands of years ago, the Twilight Forest was still a forest with beautiful scenery and fragrant birds, but because of the undead natural disaster, a large number of brave warriors died here, some of them were awakened to become undead creatures because of their dead breath, and some of them were buried here, and their bodies became the nourishment of this land, nourishing all things.
The plants in the twilight forest, which do not have the green that normal plants should have, have a faint black, and they also have a short growth cycle, and in autumn and winter, the green leaves of all the trees will turn yellow, fall and become bare.
It's almost autumn, so a lot of fallen leaves are piled up on the ground, and a lot of fungus grows under the fallen leaves, and the ground is very soft, and it is difficult to pull out when you step on it, like stepping on a muddy swamp. As soon as I pulled it out, the soles of my shoes were like stepping on dog shit, and they were stained with a large black stuff, emitting a foul stench and a strong smell of rot.
Sometimes you may even pull out something that shouldn't exist, such as bones, whole corpses, don't believe it, although the undead scourge was a thousand years ago, the bodies of the undead decay more slowly, and the advanced ones can even stop rotting.
Of course, there is another reason, there are a large number of fungi growing in the twilight forest, these fungi are edible, and the medicinal value is particularly high, and some are necessary for refining potions, and many pharmacists buy them at high prices.
Therefore, although the twilight forest is rare, there is a large shortage of money every year, and the down-and-out mercenaries or adventurers who are forced to come to the adventure come to try their luck, and if they are lucky, they can get a windfall, and if they are unlucky, they have to leave their lives here.
It's not magical beasts or undead creatures that are dangerous in the Twilight Forest, but those inconspicuous fungi.
Because it's hard to find food in the twilight forest, there are plenty of colorful mushrooms for you to pick, and anyone with a bit of common sense knows that the brighter the mushroom, the more poisonous it is. If you know what you can eat and what you can't, that's fine, but if you don't know, you'll die of poisoning if you don't even last a day.
Thinking back to Lin Tianxing's youth and ignorance, he ran to the twilight forest alone in order to make a living, and rolled in the pile of dead people for more than half a year, making himself look like a dead man, with a strong stench all over his body, which could be smelled even if he was a mile away, so that no undead creatures attacked him, but attracted a lot of scavengers.
In order to avoid those annoying scavengers, Lin Tianxing could only run and run, and just ran to a valley where those scavengers did not dare to approach.
It was in that valley that Lin Tianxing met Tai Sui, and when Lin Tianxing saw Tai Sui, Lin Tianxing was shocked, and couldn't help but get close to him, and touched Tai Sui's body with one hand, that is, at that time, Lin Tianxing woke up Tai Sui.
In the past ten days, Ye Tianxue and Ash's rejection have reached their peak, and both of them are wrapped in furry blankets.
Ash's face was painful and haggard, his brow was furrowed and unfurled, and his facial muscles twitched twice from time to time, as if he was really suffering from severe pain.
The lightning element bacteria brought Ash a numb feeling a few days ago, but after the numbness was to expand his pain nerves, medically the pain is divided into twelve levels, a bite by a mosquito is a first-level pain, a pregnant woman giving birth to a child is a second-level pain, and now even if Ash is bitten by a mosquito, it gives him the same feeling as seven or eight levels of pain.
If you bump and bump it, the pain is even more intense, and the pain goes beyond the scope of the twelfth level of pain.
Because of this, Ash can only wrap a blanket in order to relieve the pain, but the situation is still a little bad, and Ash has not slept for several days so far, and he really can't sleep. Fortunately, Ye Tianxue is now an artificial refrigerator, so even if she is wrapped in a blanket, as long as she keeps a certain distance from her, she can't feel the heat at all.
Ye Tianxue was cold, her hair and eyebrows were condensed with a layer of frost, and it was useless to wrap a few layers of blankets on her body, because her coldness was emitted from the inside out.
Ash is so painful that she can't sleep, Ye Tianxue just keeps reminding herself that she can't sleep, because when she sleeps, the consumption of the human body will decrease, and her body temperature will also drop, Ye Tianxue's current situation is very dangerous, she can't sleep, otherwise, this sleep will be eternal sleep.
Rust and Tai Sui have been guiding the elemental bacteria in the two of them to enter the adaptation period as soon as possible, if it weren't for the current situation of the two of them, they would be unable to hold on sooner or later, their bodies are already too tired, and if they continue more, they will die suddenly in less than three days.
For Ye Tianxue and Ash, every day has a kind of torment like a year, but isn't this torment a kind of ordeal?
"Don't fall asleep, hold on, just get through it and win. Lin Tianxing held Ye Tianxue's hand, conveyed her own qi, and used his qi to help her maintain her body temperature from dropping.
I don't know if it was the temperature of Lin Tianxing's palm, or the qi that Lin Tianxing conveyed to her, which made Ye Tianxue warm from the bottom of her heart, so she persevered, the cold in her body was slightly relieved because of Lin Tianxing's care, but the mental exhaustion made Ye Tianxue's eyelids keep fighting, I really can't wait to close my eyes now and sleep well.
Ye Tianxue was so cold that she couldn't speak, she nodded tremblingly, biting her lip that was no longer bloody, and she was so strong that she continued to fight against the elemental bacteria in her body.
There was always a belief in her and Ash's hearts, a powerful belief that made them not afraid of the cold pain in their bodies, because these were not the most unbearable compared to the heart-rending pain of losing their parents.
It is precisely because of this tenacious belief that Ye Tianxue and Ash persevered and survived the difficult and long period of rejection.
As soon as the rejection period passed, Ash's enlarged painful nerves gradually returned to normal, and before he knew it, he fell deep into sleep.
Lin Tianxing, who had been grabbing Ye Tianxue's palm to convey qi, noticed Ye Tianxue's body temperature for the first time, and showed signs of recovery from rising, and said with a slight smile: "It seems that you have survived and persevered." Now you can sleep, get a good night's sleep, and wake up with everything wonderful. ”
Ye Tianxue didn't sleep, but looked at Lin Tianxing, her eyes full of weakness and expectation.
"Don't worry, I'll always be there for you. After getting Lin Tianxing's promise, Ye Tianxue fell asleep with peace of mind, with a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth.
After Ash and Ye Tianxue slept for a day, their physical state had returned to almost as usual, anyway, even if Ash was pricked with a needle now, this kid would not wake up, and Ye Tianxue's body temperature had also returned to more than 20 degrees, which seemed to be her normal body temperature, and there was no way to get any higher.
Tai Sui said that this is a normal situation, and that Pseudomonas syringae, a bacterium, cannot survive above 27.7 degrees Celsius. Now Ye Tianxue's body temperature is controlled at more than 20 degrees, which is obviously a change made to adapt to the survival of Pseudomonas lilac, and the adaptation period has not passed, maybe Ye Tianxue's body temperature will continue to decrease.
The state of the two of them recovered, and they only needed to wait until they woke up to enter the transformation period, so Lin Tianxing did not delay the trip, and the two of them continued to go deep into the twilight forest on their backs.
Fortunately, they were unconscious, and they slept very deeply, otherwise the rot and stench alone would have been enough to revive them. Stepping on the muddy ground, Lin Tianxing remembered his embarrassment again, and couldn't help but shake his head, as soon as his luck turned, his body became frivolous, and the whole person ignored the effect of gravity, and stood with his feet suspended in the air.
