Chapter 58: Man-eating meadow
"Are you camping?" Ao Liao, who suddenly appeared, looked at the four people sitting on the grass.
"I'll go, and I'll eat barbecue. And gnawed the meat so cleanly. Ao Liao saw that Jia Kesi and Ah Se were each holding a big bone stick in their hands.
"Mayor Town, this is Murphy." Jia Kesi raised the leg bone in his hand.
"Uh... Is this Murphy? Ao Liao looked at the other three with a puzzled look.
The other three nodded at the same time.
"What's the situation? What did Murphy do again? Don't want your own bones? ”
"The mayor is like this, after you leave......" Aruba, who was the first to be present, explained the cause and effect of the incident in a bilibile manner.
And the three people who appeared later finally knew why Murphy was inserted in the soil.
"It's worthy of being a dead Philippines, come and see if such an accident can happen to Aruba's new home. It can be seen how bad his usual bone products are. Edward turned on the spit mode.
"And where is Murphy buried now?" Ao Liao asked.
Jia Kesi wanted to tell Ao Liao that it was not far ahead. When I looked up, I saw the grass in front of me, and I could still see Murphy's half-cut figure buried in the soil.
"Uh...... The mayor of the town should be not far ahead. But the grass is too dense, and I'm afraid it won't be there now. ”
Ao Liao sensed it slightly. A patch of grass in front of it automatically parted to the sides, and the dirt at the bottom arched upwards to eject a skeleton with only its upper body.
"Mayor Mare, I thought I would never see you again. Woo woo woo ...... "As soon as Murphy was unearthed, he cried to Ao Liao.
"! You're a skeleton, okay? Don't eat, and don't breathe. Even if you bury it in the soil for eight years or ten years, you won't die. Edward began to slap again.
"Uh...... This time Murphy wasn't wrong. In a few days, you won't really see Murphy. ”
"Why?" Edward and Murphy asked at the same time.
"What do you see the difference between this place and the rest of the world?" Ao Liao did not answer directly, but asked a question first.
"No problem, it's not exactly the same as anywhere else." Murphy said as he propped his body with his hands and looked around.
Aruba and Edward nodded approvingly.
"What do you think?" Ao Liao saw that the two of them seemed to have discovered something.
"A-se, come on." Coles gave up the opportunity to Asse.
"Good!" Asse nodded to Knights.
"Although meadows are not uncommon in small towns, there are no meadows in all the small canyons. But here there is an extra meadow and it is very lush. Cosius nodded, acknowledging Asse's discovery.
Murphy, Aruba, and Edward, reminisced. I also found that as Ase said, in the other small canyons of the town, there is a flat land, and only here does an extra meadow come out.
"I remember, it seems like it was flat land before?" Edward said suspiciously.
"Well, I remember when I passed by here before, it was indeed a flat ground." Coles confirmed Edward's doubts.
At this time, Aruba remembered the fragment when the town elder helped him build the Zerg Brood:
["Mayor, what is this? He saw that the mayor on the side had not responded from the beginning until now, and guessed that this thing must have been summoned by the mayor. Just ask the mayor.
The mayor didn't reply, just looked at the muddy ground that was getting bigger and bigger.
"When I went, I forgot that the Zerg building would directly convert the surrounding ground into a fungus. This is simply malicious destruction of the town's environment. Luckily, I'm here. The mayor snapped his fingers.
Green seedlings soon drilled into the muddy field, and after a while, the original muddy mud was absorbed cleanly.
"It's much more pleasing to the eye." After looking at the grass alone, the mayor pointed to the huge Zerg nest in front of him and said, "This is your future residence." ”】
"Mayor Town, could it be that this meadow is the black mud-like fungus that used to be?" Aruba's mind flashed and he asked a crucial question.
"Exactly." In order to let others know what a fungus quilt is, Ao Liao also deliberately restored a small piece of grass to the original appearance of the fungus.
"Because the original fungus was too ugly to match the scenery of the town, I transformed it into a meadow. But in essence it is still a fungus. Ao Liao began to explain.
"Bacteria are used as a medium for the mother nest to absorb free energy from the air, and it is actually associated with the mother nest. If the brood is the trunk of a tree, then the quilt is the root of the tree.
And Murphy is so immortal that he is inserted into the quilt, and as a result, he is wrapped in the quilt, and wants to assimilate him into a part of himself.
The trinity of fungus, brood, and ground. To rescue Murphy, who has already begun to assimilate, unless you have the strength to pull up the entire surface and the brood at the same time. That's why the four of you can't pull Murphy out together.
As for what I said, in a few days, you really won't see Murphy. This statement is not alarmist. Because after another three or five days, Murphy was completely assimilated by the fungus, and naturally you will never see him again. ”
Ao Liao's voice just fell.
Murphy's hands danced into phantoms, dragging his upper body and "whooshing" out of the meadow.
"Scared me to death, scared me to death. Unexpectedly, this meadow would eat people. I almost became the first Lich King in history to be buried alive. Murphy was so frightened that the fire in his soul trembled, and he couldn't calm down.
Murphy had always believed that there was nothing in the town that could really be dangerous to the townspeople. I didn't expect to really hang up this time. Fortunately, the mayor of the town appeared early, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
At this time, he completely forgot that even if he was assimilated, it would be three or five days later.
The other four, though not as fast as Murphy's escape, walked out of the meadow at a brisk pace.
"Damn! You run yarn one by one. Murphy was only assimilated when he was inserted into the quilt. You're just stepping on it for fear of hair. Ao Liao saw everyone fleeing, and couldn't help but scold.
After everyone was scolded, they cowered and stepped onto the grass. It's just that the body crumbles tightly, as if the grass will open a big mouth and swallow them at any moment.
Ao Liao looked at the group of timid townspeople, and had no choice but to explain again: "Murphy inserts the fungus quilt, like a wooden thorn inserted into the flesh, and if it is not taken out in time, it will grow with the meat. And now you are walking on top of the fungus, like bugs crawling through the skin, and there is no danger at all.
Besides, even if you do get stuck in the fungus. Aruba can also release you by controlling the brood. What the hell are you afraid of wool! ”
After listening to the explanation, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and Aruba touched his head, "It turns out that the brood still has this function?" ”
"Ahh Rash... Bar...! Murphy, who had just assembled his lower body on the side, couldn't help but be angry when he heard the sentence that Aruba could also release him by controlling the brood.
He jerked forward and leaped into the air against Aruba. It is precisely because he wants to use his mastery - [Skeleton Insect Killing].
Aruba looked up and saw a dark shadow coming straight at him from mid-air. He lowered his head and reflexively popped out the two back shells behind him.
"Phew!" The black shadow was once again like a tennis smash, and the ejected back shell was slammed into the grass in front of it. There was only time to leave a scream of "~ah" in mid-air.
