Act I: Broken Heart Chapter 70: Neptune Spore

The interior of the town was desolate, the streets were covered with dead branches and leaves, presumably the wind was brought from the direction of the forest, the streets were cracked, and the land was sunken, which was just strange to the three of Ressa, seeing that the situation was obviously a change in geology, but most of the houses next to the streets were intact.

Something wasn't quite right, Resa looked around, and although he didn't see anything, he knew that Kiriso Zero and Icarus were on either side of him.

"Something is wrong!" Icarus's voice rang softly in his ears.

"Be careful of the surrounding houses, I'm afraid it's not that simple here!" Ressa reminded in a whisper.

"How?" Tongxiang Zero's voice came.

"The houses around are so intact!" Ressa simply explained what was wrong.

Icarus and Kiriso Zero's eyes froze, it was true, the surrounding houses were too well preserved, which was especially strange in a place where the ground was full of cracks.

It was quiet, and there was no sound except for the wind. The three of them slowly walked towards the location where they saw their hands, and as they went, Resa even saw Feige's tiny mechanical beetle.

"There's nothing here!" Kiriso Zero glanced around, but didn't find anything.

"It's a strange .........," Ressa's eyes flickered through a ray of sunlight as he spoke, and for a brief moment, he seemed to see something floating in the air, which was so tiny that even Ressa could only see through the tactical lens.

"........." Resa tried to shine the sun again, but this time he didn't find anything.

"What's wrong?" Icarus asked.

"Nothing, probably an illusion." Ressa shook his head, and for a moment, it was as if he saw the air filled with tiny ...... The spores ......, but when I looked at it again, there was nothing.

The three of them were speechless and continued to advance slowly, and after more than ten minutes, Resa could see the arm more than 200 meters in front of him through the tactical lens.

"I feel something is wrong!" Kirisgo Zero said, his figure began to fade from time to time: "I feel as if something is swimming in my body. As he spoke, a small pimple bulged on his right arm.

“!!!” Resa and Icarus looked at Kirino Zero, who appeared from time to time, and their faces changed suddenly, did they unconsciously have fallen into the way? It's just that why is there nothing wrong with him, and Icarus is the same, but only Kirisgo Zero will have this situation.

Resa suddenly thought of that fleeting moment, could it be that there were really spores in the air? It shouldn't be! When I first arrived in the wilderness, I had already checked whether the surrounding environment could make people breathe, so it should be no problem.

"Order: Check the air quality," Resa whispered.

"The system is being tested......... Warning, warning, air contains unknown spores, data comparison ......"

"After comparing the data, it has been detected that the air contains Neptune spores, which is an extremely dangerous state, please use backup oxygen immediately and get out of here." A warning sound is sent from the personal terminal.

"Neptune Spore ............" Ressa's face turned pale, he finally knew why that arm was there, if it was Neptune Spore, then everything made sense.

Ressa hurriedly turned his head, only to find that Kiriso Zero was already sitting on the ground, he had completely revealed, and at this moment he was laboriously clasping the spare oxygen mask to his face. His arms were rising and falling, as if something was stirring under his skin.

"Damn........." Resa looked at her terminal: "Order: Inquire about Neptune Spore." ”

"The system is querying......... The query has been completed and sent to your personal terminal. ”

Neptune Spore: No. 00564

Level: Earth Beast (because it can't move autonomously, so there is no rank)

Category: Mutant paleontology

Energy Category: Devouring, Parasitizing

Hunting Value: None

Product: None

The microspores of the Neptune are almost invisible to the naked eye, and due to their extremely low mass, they usually float in the air, and when the Neptune spore is in a floating state, as long as it is not too close, there is no threat.

However, once approached, the Neptune Spore will be attracted by the surrounding breath of life, and will parasitize the living form through breathing, wounds and other ways, after the Neptune Spore parasitism, it will quickly absorb the host's energy and grow rapidly in a very short time.

Infected with Neptune Spore, you will feel weak at first, and after a few minutes, there will be a feeling of living creatures swimming under the skin, and the physical energy will pass quickly, when the physical energy passes to a certain extent, the infected person will fall into a coma, at this time, the Neptune Spore will begin to hatch into a Neptune larvae in the body, and when the Neptune larvae completely devours all the host's energy, it will begin to devour the host's flesh and blood from the inside.

"This tricky thing again?" Resa looked at the information on her personal terminal, and it didn't say how to deal with the Sea Emperor hatchlings, which showed that the Explorer Alliance didn't have any good ways at present.

Seeing that Tongxiang Zero's face began to turn pale, Resa frowned, in this case, it seems that he can only return to the node first?

…………………………

In the feather space, Bai Ling was bored leaning on the spider web hammock woven by Dilis, looking at the only red crystal the size of a fingernail left in the palm of his hand, Bai Ling's face showed a depressed color.

"I don't know when Resa will go to the wilderness......" Bai Ling turned on her perception and looked at the outside world, and then her face showed joy: "I really want to sleep off and come to the pillow, hehe." Dilis, I'm going to go out and expand my snacks first. ”

Dilis lay on the spider web, holding the large spider egg, and after hearing Bai Ling's words, she raised a foot thorn and waved it, which was regarded as a greeting.

Bai Ling turned into an almost transparent white mist and floated out. It's just that after coming to the wilderness, her smiling face froze.

"What! It's just spores, and the condensed snacks are not like dust, and I'm going to live on soil? Bai Ling's face showed an unhappy look, but the next moment, her eyes fell on Tongxiang Ling, who fell to the ground.

"This guy has a lot of ...... in his body, so he should be able to get some jelly beans, right?" A smile appeared on Bai Ling's face, it didn't seem that it was all fruitless, and she slowly merged into his body along Tongxiang Zero's arm. It's just that although the force field outside her body has been mutated, it still makes Tongxiang Zero suffer a little.

It didn't take long, after all, Tongxiang Zero's body was not yet a juvenile existence, more than ten seconds later, Bai Ling slowly floated out from behind Tongxiang Zero, she didn't dare to have too large, after all, Ressa was there, she didn't want to be discovered by Ressa.

Looking at the twelve or thirteen blood-colored crystals the size of a fingernail in her palm, a smile appeared on Bai Ling's face, and then, as if she felt something, she looked ahead, and over there, thirty or forty slender tentacles suddenly rose and swept towards the position of the three of Ressa.........
