Immortal Mystery Chapter 60

"There are no zombies, zombies or anything in this world, they are all bluffing." "Although I don't know the real reason why the floating corpses move, I have heard that there is a zombie fungus in the American rainforest that is able to multiply in the bodies of animals and control their behavior by controlling their nervous system. So there are animals that are still able to move even though they are dead. I guess these floating corpses are infected with that kind of zombie bacteria just like those animals, right? ”

"Professor...... Is there really such a fungus? Jiang Jie asked suspiciously.

Professor Jin replied affirmatively: "Of course!" After this fungus manipulates the ants, it will allow the ants to take them to the most suitable place for the growth and reproduction of the fungus, and after killing the ant host, these fungi can stay in that place, and the ant's corpse has become the best breeding ground for the fungus, and it only takes a few days to make the whole ant's corpse full of fungal spores. However, when the zombie fungus is ready to kill the ants, the ants will go crazy and bite anything around them, just like the drifters just went crazy and wanted to bite us......"

"Professor, since you said that those ants are indiscriminate to bite the things around us, why are those drifters just coming at us?" Someone asked.

"Phototaxis!" Professor Jin answered categorically.

"Because we all have flashlights, which are the light source in this cave, they will move closer to us." "As for their attacks on us, I think it's a way to spread the bacteria – through blood. In this way, the attacked person will also have bacteria on them, and they will be able to continue to multiply on the new host. ”

Hearing the scientific explanation given by Professor Jin, everyone was also relieved, since they knew that there was a scientific basis for the corpse, and it was not caused by some water ghosts or unjust spirits, then there was nothing to be afraid of.

I didn't see the above situation, but after listening to their story, I don't agree with Professor Jin's statement, although what he said has some truth. First of all, what kind of zombie bacteria, I have also heard of this kind of bacteria, this kind of bacteria by invading the target's brain, has the ability to control animal nerves, but this bacteria has always been able to control ants, crickets, wasps and other insects, and has never heard of a precedent for controlling large animals. So even if there were that kind of bacteria here, I don't think it would be able to manipulate objects the size of a person. In addition, since it is a nerve manipulation, as long as the nerve is destroyed, the bacteria can no longer manipulate the human body. I heard from the altar that he had shot the drifter in the shoulder, almost breaking his arm, but the drifter still rushed over with his broken hand. According to the altar, although the nervous system in the body of the water drifter who was shot will not be completely destroyed by this shot, at least the nerve that controls the left arm will be disconnected from the brain, and it stands to reason that the arm should be abolished...... But the fact is that the water drifter's arms are still dancing freely, which is beyond words......

I thought about the ghosts I had seen after I hit my head, and I always felt that it wasn't the illusion I had after I was hit in the head. Now that I think about it, although those ghosts look very ethereal in my eyes, they feel so real to me, as if they really exist in this world...... Maybe it's really a ghost......

However, this is just my feeling, and I didn't say what I thought, after all, it doesn't do anyone any good to make people panic.

Because someone died, everyone was silent and the atmosphere was depressing. After a while, Mo Ji stood up and coughed twice and said, "Lao Ma and Xiao Jiao'er are gone, everyone is very sad, but we can't stay here for too long, and the way back is ...... It's gone, all that's waiting is a bunch of swindlers who have cheated the corpse......"

"It's not just the drifters," whispered the last two...... "and the old horse's grenade has blown up the cave...... We can't get out of the way we came......"

"It seems that just like in the underground palace of King Luo's palace before, we can only keep moving forward to have a way out......," Uncle Xu said in a deep voice.

We followed the passage all the way down and after a short walk we entered a huge natural cave. Although there is air in this cave, it is much thinner than on the ground. The cave is full of stalactites that have existed for an unknown number of years, with a variety of postures and strange rocks. The ground is also full of potholes, and you can see stone pits full of standing water everywhere.

We took our flashlights and looked at the top of the cave, but we couldn't see the end at all.

"How high does this cave have to be?" People sighed.

"At least a few tens of meters!" Lu Daxun's preliminary estimate said.

Since this cave is very large and there is no clear path, in order to find the way forward, we all decided to split up. After about half an hour, everyone was back where they were.

Just when everyone said that they had found nothing, the altar ran back with Jiang Jie, panting and saying that a palace had been found on the south side of the cave.

I glanced at Uncle Xu, and I was a little excited and a little uneasy at the same time, excited because maybe the palace that the altar said was the "palace for the mountain" we were looking for, and the anxiety was that I didn't know what was waiting for us ahead.

When we followed the altar to the palace in his and Jiang Jie's mouths, everyone was stunned.

This palace is very similar to the Luowang Palace we saw before in terms of shape, but it is more than twice as large. Standing at the foot of the stairs, we seem a little too small in comparison. And this palace is a little different from the previous one, although there are stone steps in the Luowang Palace, but its main body is still made of wood, and the overall effect is simple and solemn. But the palace in front of him, the flashlight shined past, shining in the light, as if the whole palace was covered with gold and silver, full of metallic luster. Of course, the flashlight in our hands can only shine on a small part, and we can't take the panorama into our eyes at all, but the leopard can be seen in the tube, and we can still give full play to our imagination and make up the whole picture of it in the light in our brains.

Not to mention the main hall, even the stone railing next to the stone steps under the pedestal is also carved with different forms of Rui beasts, which are lifelike.

"Now I finally believe that the Luowang Palace outside is just a virtual hall......" Tan Zi said as he looked at the shining golden halls, swallowing his saliva.

"This time, it seems that I didn't find the wrong ......," Uncle Xu also muttered to himself in a low voice.

"Good, good!" Mo Ji shouted excitedly, "We have finally found the main master!" Brothers, this time we didn't come in vain! ”
