Shen Rui listened to Xu Zong's words and turned behind him, only to see that it was an extremely huge colorful mushroom, and the entire mushroom growth area belonged to this one with the most vigorous vitality, which was already close to three meters in size.

Xu Zongdao: "After the colorful poisonous mushroom grows for a thousand years, it will bloom a small colorful flower at the top, after the colorful flower withers, the rhizome will not be extinguished, continue to grow for thousands of years, and finally grow into a colorful cockscomb mushroom, if you stand high enough, you can clearly see this peerless and rare poisonous mushroom." ”

Standing taller?

What's so difficult about it?

Shen Rui immediately stepped on the top of Xiao Ba's head, and Xiao Ba raised his tentacles and sent Shen Rui to the top of this big mushroom.

The body of such a huge mushroom is quite strong, and Shen Rui will not shake when he steps on it.

Sure enough, on top of the largest multicolored poisonous mushroom, there was an even smaller mushroom, the size of a human fist, shaped like a rooster's comb, and it was also surrounded by colors.

"Take it, when we first landed on the island, this colorful cockscomb mushroom was all over the cave, but now only the last one is left, after all, this magical thing has only appeared for 2,000 years." Xu said in a deep voice.

Shen Rui nodded, used a folding knife to pry off the colorful cockscomb poisonous mushroom from the bottom, carefully wrapped it with a handkerchief, and carefully put it into his jacket pocket.

"Why did you give me such a precious poisonous mushroom?" Shen Rui asked curiously.

"As long as it doesn't fall into the hands of my rebel Xu Fu, it doesn't matter who takes it." Xu Zongdao.

"What's the use of this poisonous mushroom?" Shen Rui asked again.

"Immortality." Xu Zong said calmly: "His Majesty the First Emperor ordered us to look for only the colorful poisonous mushroom, the legend is that eating this poisonous mushroom can prolong life, as for this colorful cockscomb poisonous mushroom, it was our accidental discovery." ”

"But as you can see, we also paid a huge price for this, after eating the colorful cockscomb poisonous mushroom, we have become monsters that are neither human nor ghostly, petrified during the day, and can move freely at night."

"The hardest thing is that on the full moon night of the fifteenth day of every month, the body that is as hard as a stone will explode open, and blood will come out, and the reason why my rebel Xu Fu kills and devours humans is to alleviate his own pain."

"Since ancient times, the same kind cannot eat each other, this is the way of heaven and humanity, the traitor Xu Fu violated the way of heaven and completely fell into darkness, which is really a great shame for my disciple!"

Speaking of this, the black old stone monkey became more and more excited, clenched his fists, and began to tremble all over.

Shen Rui was stunned and asked curiously: "So the black stone monkey on the top of the mountain that is similar to you is Xu Fu?" He's really strong, but I don't understand one thing, why you and Xu Fu are black, but those little monkeys are gray? ”

Xu Zong said: "No, there are no monkeys on Penglai Island at all, and the gray stone monkeys you see are the sacrifices we carried at the beginning, with three thousand boys and girls. ”

"Xu Fu and I ate the best of the poisonous mushrooms, the colorful cockscomb, so the changes are more serious, and we can't see the appearance of humans at all, while those boys just eat ordinary colorful poisonous mushrooms, if you have seen them, you will find that their faces are actually human faces, which shows that they have a low degree of alienation."

Shen Rui nodded again and again, the gray stone monkey had a human face, he was naturally clear, on the other hand, Xu Fu and Xu Zong, the two big black monkeys, could no longer see the slightest resemblance to humans.

Frowning slightly, Shen Rui asked, "Since you brought three thousand boys and girls at the beginning, plus boatmen and craftsmen, isn't it more than 10,000 people?" ”

"Indeed, seventeen thousand three hundred and fifty-two wholes." Xu Zong nodded.

"Where are the rest? I think that on Penglai Island today, there are no more than 2,000 stone monkeys. Shen Rui asked.

Xu Zong let out a long breath and said: "The medicinal power of the colorful poisonous mushroom is limited, even if you keep taking it, there are still more than 10,000 people who die because of aging, according to the observation of thousands of years, the younger the child, the better the medicinal power after taking the colorful poisonous mushroom." ”

"There are still people alive on Penglai Mountain today, except for me and the rebel Xu Fu, the two adults, who were the youngest children at the beginning, and the rest of them are all dead."

Shen Rui was stunned, and he had a deeper understanding of this magical colorful poisonous mushroom.

According to the notes left by Ye Wuxian, this poisonous mushroom may be able to control the human body, making metabolism and cell division slow down, or even completely terminated, as for petrification and becoming like a monkey, I am afraid it is a side effect of the poisonous mushroom.

Assuming that Ye Wuxian was by his side, Shen Rui could listen to his high opinions, but unfortunately Shen Rui's knowledge of genetics was almost close to zero, and he couldn't judge why the side effects of poisonous mushrooms were so weird anyway.

The existence of poisonous mushrooms is also an outlier, in addition to the unique seven-colored cockscomb poisonous mushroom, Shen Rui also took some small ordinary seven-colored poisonous mushrooms that were growing and put them in Xiao Ba's backpack.

So far, Xu Zong's performance is quite decent, Shen Rui thought for a while, raised his head and said: "You must be sad to be locked in a cage for so long, I will let you out." ”

"No!" Xu Zong suddenly said loudly: "After planting the poison of these colorful poisonous mushrooms, I will be full of longing for those poisonous mushrooms, once you release me, I will definitely lose my mind, desperately devour the poisonous mushrooms, and finally lose the six human ethics like the rebel Xu Fu!" ”

"The reason why Xu Fu locked me up here is to make me suffer every day, and the poisonous mushrooms are in front of me but I can't eat them."

"It's just that the rebel would never have thought that after a thousand years, I actually refined my firm mind here, and slowly recovered a little bit from a demonic beast."

"If you put me down, not only will you not be able to save me, but it will cause me to fall out of the six realms of reincarnation!"

Shen Rui was stunned, his feelings looked quite normal, and he was completely forced out!

Looking at so many tempting foods for a long time but not being able to eat them is a great torment, and after a long period of torment, Xu Zong actually regained a little bit of sanity and cultivated a strong spiritual power to resist the harm of poisonous mushrooms to himself with spiritual power.

Xu Fu closed his eyes, his throat twitching, obviously because Shen Rui's proposal was too tempting, and it almost made him think about it again.

"If you really want to help me, just wait until dawn before you start, then I will petrify and turn into a statue that cannot be moved, although the rebel Xu Fu cultivates above me, but he will also petrify."

"This is the only chance, no one but me can kill my rebel, even if you break his body and grind it into powder, you can still recover it at night."

"If you believe me, take advantage of the dawn to move me to the top of the mountain, and put it with Xu Fu's body after petrifying, you still can't leave at this moment, you need to stay aside and wait for my orders."

"Xu Fu is not dead, Penglai is not safe, you will never be able to escape, besides, you still have friends in Xu Fu's hands, if you don't kill him, how can you rescue your friends?"

Shen Rui frowned and thought, caught in a dilemma.

Xu Zong, the master who moved out of Xu Fu, to deal with Xu Fu, who has become a demon, can this be successful?
