Chapter 44: Lurking Danger
Yan Hua's side was about to explode, but neither Su Xiaoxiao nor Ling Feixue noticed anything unusual, they just saw Yan Hua standing there with his eyebrows tightly locked and silent.
"The capacity development class is only held on Saturdays every week, and as a member of the club, you can also take time off when you are on a mission, if it's just time, there's no problem at all."
Just when Yan Hua was caught in a contradiction because of two diametrically opposed thoughts, Ling Feixue also took a step forward and came to Yan Hua's side.
Ling Feixue seemed to have some kind of wonderful aura on her body, and as Ling Feixue approached, Yan Hua felt that her consciousness suddenly cleared up, and her originally noisy mind calmed down.
The faint sense of repulsion for Ling Feixue disappeared, her head didn't hurt anymore, and Yan Hua's train of thought recovered.
"Whew!" Yan Hua exhaled slightly and said, "Teacher Ling is the teacher of the ability development class and the tutor of the zero club, I think we still listen to Teacher Ling's arrangement." ”
Yan Hua, the military advisor and head of the club, spoke, and Su Xiaoxiao and Ling Feixue stopped their arguments.
Su Xiaoxiao was unable to win Yan Hua's support, and was a little disappointed in her heart.
However, she quickly perked up and looked down at the task book again, wanting to find a suitable task before Ling Feixue again.
Ling Feixue didn't take the outcome of the argument to heart, but after seeing Yan Hua's expression stretch and agree with her opinion, she was still inexplicably relieved.
Yan Hua looked at Ling Feixue, who had restarted the screening task, and after thinking about it, he still didn't tell the other party what he had just had a headache.
"If Ling Feixue knew that the cause of my headache was related to her and Su Xiaoxiao, would she think that I was being amorous? And it's too frivolous to say it directly, what if Ling Feixue ignores me? ”
Yan Hua thought that the reason for his headache was just the trouble of young people's happiness, so he decided to hide this matter.
"That's a good task." Ling Feixue suddenly raised her head and looked at Yan Huadao, "Recently, a strange beast of unknown origin has appeared in the villages on the outskirts of the southern gathering place.
Although this strange beast has no record of injuring people, it frequently attacks domestic animals and causes great damage to the residents there, so it issued this mission to the academy. ”
"Strange beasts of unknown origin?" Yan Hua hesitated a little and said, "It can't be some high-level ability beast, right?" ”
"Rest assured, this kind of ability beast that only dares to attack domestic animals usually doesn't exceed three stars." Ling Feixue said, "Originally, no matter how low the task of this kind of centralized investigation and clean-up is, it should have started at D-level, but now I don't know why it has been designated as E-level by the academy.
This task is challenging for you, but it is still within your reach.
It's a bit of a long way, but six days should be enough.
What do you think? Interested? This is a great opportunity for you to hone yourself. ”
Su Xiaoxiao originally wanted to refute Ling Feixue's suggestion, but after hearing that the level of this task could reach D-level, she suddenly became interested.
Su Xiaoxiao flipped through the task book in his hand, and soon found the E-level mission that Ling Feixue said.
After Su Xiaoxiao found that the task description was exactly the same as what Ling Feixue said, he handed the task book to Yan Hua and proposed: "Strategist, this task is really good, why don't we choose it." ”
Yan Hua took the task book and looked at it, and was very satisfied, even if he decided to accept this task.
The procedure for receiving a mission is simple.
Yan Hua just reported the name of the Zero Club, and asked Ling Feixue to sign the task application form as an accompanying teacher.
After checking that all the information was correct, the female teacher in charge of the registration and distribution task took out another form and filled it out with a seal, and then handed this form to Yan Hua, the person in charge of the club, on behalf of Yan Hua, and they had accepted this E-level task.
"By the way, you have to keep this form. Wait until the task is completed and the task publisher signs and confirms before handing it back to me. The female teacher who registered the task kindly reminded, "The remuneration for all tasks must also be settled on this basis." ”
"Thanks, I see." Yan Hua thanked politely, folded the form and put it away, and then left the mission hall with Ling Feixue.
Bai Qi and Xiong Chao are estimated to be in a hurry, and this task is a bit far, and everyone in the Zero Society still needs to go to Chen Shui to ask for leave, so the time is still very urgent.
On the way out of the senior school district, Ling Feixue walked in front, Yan Hua and Su Xiaoxiao walked side by side in the back.
However, this time Yan Hua's head did not hurt, so Yan Hua was even more convinced that the previous headache reaction was just a psychological effect.
It's just that what Yan Hua doesn't know is that although his head doesn't hurt anymore, under Yan Hua's scalp, a root that is finer than a nerve is gradually spreading and expanding along the periphery of his skull with a distinctive "hair" as the center.
This "hair" is the small piece of root that Yan Hua inadvertently opened the cultivation bin that day, and the mangrove roots fell on his head.
This mangrove embryo, which accidentally took root on the top of Yan Hua's head due to the evolution of the mother's reproductive mode, not only inherited all the genes and abilities of the mother, but also produced an astonishing change that was enough to shock the Super Cambrian.
That is, after it was parasitic to Yan Hua's body, it actually broke the boundaries of biology and became the only plant that really gave birth to consciousness in addition to reflexive instinct since the birth of the earth!
Although this consciousness is still very ignorant, it already has the most basic judgment ability, knowing what is good for you and what is dangerous for you.
At the command of consciousness, the newborn memory mangrove larvae know everything they are going to do.
It wants to turn Yan Hua into its own nutrients, it has to hide before it may discover its dangerous existence, it has to firmly grasp the opportunity to make itself thrive, and it has to ......
The starting point of everything is to start with the complete control of this puppet (Yan Hua) that he parasitizes.
When the memory mangrove larvae had just parasitized on Yan Hua's body, the consciousness generated was still very weak, but it could also stop his instinct the moment Chen Shui appeared, preventing the risk of being exposed.
Later, as the consciousness of the memory mangrove larvae gradually grew, they did not dare to make small movements under Chen Shui's eyelids, and it was not until the "fake wine" incident that night that the memory mangrove dared to take its first step tentatively.
It's a pity that Yan Hua had once again broken through the limits of his body at that time, and the skeletal muscles of his whole body had been so hard that he couldn't invade with the power of the mangrove larvae alone, under the tempering of stabilizing potions, quenching fluids, and Yan Hua's own tempering.
Just when it was reluctantly preparing to go deeper, it felt a powerful crisis and had to die down again.
For the Memory Mangrove Hatchlings, there are too many monsters in Cambrian Academy that cannot be defeated.
In desperation, it had no choice but to change its strategy, from deep control of parasites to superficial implantation, relying on limited nutrients to keep itself alive.
It's a delicate balance.
If things continue like this, there may not be a headache until Yan Hua graduates, let alone his thoughts will be disturbed.
Prior to this, the memory mangrove larvae could only be in a half-dead state in order not to expose themselves.
And by the time it could show its strength, Yan Hua might have grown into the kind of monster it feared.
The Memory Mangrove Larvae doesn't want to die, but in contrast, it doesn't want to die right away.
It wasn't until Su Xiaoxiao's appearance that the Memory Mangrove Larvae felt the breath from this creature that could help them grow rapidly, which gave the Memory Mangrove Larvae the idea and capital to take risks.
Su Xiaoxiao's ability is also hormone mastery, but unlike Chen Shui, he is a superpower, and the pheromones he controls are not simple external hormones produced by the human body.
Su Xiaoxiao's ability actually comes from the glandular cells in the body with the same principle as the queen bee and queen ant, but the composition of these cells is more complex and the role is more extensive.
Through the pheromones produced by this glandular cell, Su Xiaoxiao can not only have effects such as charm and domination on the target, but also slightly improve the combat effectiveness of himself and his allies through pheromones, or inhibit the enemy's strength, etc.
This is an extremely perverted ability.
It's just that Su Xiaoxiao's strength is not strong now, and the degree of development of his own abilities is not high, so Su Xiaoxiao can't fully control his abilities and effectively distinguish between the various types of pheromones used.
When Su Xiaoxiao was pestering Yan Hua, he inadvertently used his ability again, and also let the memory mangrove larvae discover something that Su Xiaoxiao could promote his growth.
So the memory mangrove larvae began to grow with the help of Su Xiaoxiao, and slowly extended their roots, causing Yan Hua's headache.
"Approach Su Xiaoxiao and stay away from Ling Feixue." This idea is naturally the thinking of the mangrove larvae under the tendency to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and this emotion is also transmitted to Yan Hua's brain through those roots, disturbing Yan Hua's thoughts.
Yan Hua didn't know that he had such a different "hair" on the top of his head, nor did he know the horror of this "hair", and he didn't know that Su Xiaoxiao's ability would become his life-saving talisman.
Yan Hua never thought that the cause of his headache would be so complicated, and he never imagined that his unintentional move half a month ago would bring him a danger even more terrifying than the Shadow Dragon.
……
With a wave of Chen Shui's hand, the leave application of everyone in the zero club was completed.
Yan Hua and the others did not waste time, and after asking for leave, they packed their bags and followed Ling Feixue out of Cambrian Academy, heading towards the mission location.
And about half an hour after Yan Hua and the others left Cambrian, a mysterious man with a handsome appearance also came to the location of the city gate.
"Damn!" The mysterious man stood inside the empty city gate and said with some annoyance, "I didn't think it was a step too late." ”
After the mysterious man finished speaking, he looked down at the clothes on his body again, and found that when he just rushed over, he accidentally stuck some dust, and immediately showed a disgusted expression.
Because she learned that Ling Feixue was going to leave school with that stinky boy named Yan Hua, she only had time to take a bath for another hour.
This made the mysterious man who came in a hurry a little uncomfortable, and he always felt that his body was not cleaned, and now that he was dirty again, the mysterious man was even more reluctant to stay here.
"The clothes are dirty again, so I'd better go back and take a shower first." At this time, seeing that the obvious dust had fallen on his body again, the mysterious man decided that it was better to get down to business first.
"Yan Hua, is it? It's better not to let me find an opportunity. The mysterious man finally glared at the empty ground outside the Cambrian city wall, and said to himself in a calm tone, "I must make him look good if he dares to approach Feixue without permission." ”
As the words fell, a small tornado suddenly blew around the mysterious man's body, sucking the gravel branches and leaves on the ground into the air, while also covering the figure of the mysterious man.
When the storm calmed down, the mysterious man disappeared into place, leaving only a fine cloud of dust to fall back to the ground.
And the predecessor of this dust was the rubble and leaves that were swept into it by the tornado.
