Chapter 39: Twin Parasites
"You can't run away. Mei Jun flew down, her keen compound eyes could contain all the movements, and this zombie fungus mother species still wanted to escape.
However, the conscious zombie fungus naturally did not sit still, and it immediately manipulated the zombie ants to burrow into the small gaps between the bark of the trees.
And there are many shallow holes under the bark of the old banyan tree, which are the masterpieces of the coccidious water jade mold.
Mei Jun landed on the position where the mother species had just been, and the flapping membranous wings stopped, retracted and retracted into her body.
Later, he mimicked the crawling feet of six unicorns behind his back, using sharp barbs to clasp the bark tightly to prevent it from falling and being dissolved by biological acid.
When observing from the top of the tree, he discovered that this sea of acid was formed by a mixture of different varieties of biological acids.
It's just that after falling, he can't swallow the entire sea of acid at once, and digest and secrete all the ingredients in it, so what awaits him is only death.
"But if you want to swallow the entire sea of acid at once, I'm afraid it's too much, Lao Tzu is not a boastful father. ”
He glanced at the deeper and deeper sea of acid below, and then looked at his small body of 10 centimeters, so he had to shake his head helplessly.
However, he also has a way to deal with the sea of acid below, as long as he eats all the mushrooms in this yard, he will no longer be afraid of these terrible biological acids, and he can even swim in it.
But compared to this time-consuming method, he just wanted to find the zombie ant right away and devour it.
He was sure that the zombie ant was in the area, and he just had to find it quickly.
"No, add a few more eyes, and I don't believe that it can fly. ”
Immediately, Mei Jun added a few compound eyes to his face and swept the area a few more times.
"Hmph! I've finally found you!"
He immediately mimicked the horn of the unicorn fairy, and the hard unicorn could easily dig a hole in these old trees.
"Oh no, it still wants to run. ”
The zombie fungal mother species in the body of the zombie ant is also a species that is afraid of death, it sees that the situation is not good, and takes advantage of the gap between Mei Jun and the single horn, and immediately controls the ant to drill out of a narrow gap, and the action is very neat.
Coming out of the worm's eye, it desperately climbed up again, after all, the sea of acid below was still rising.
"It's too big to move. As soon as Mei Jun wanted to chase after him, he was stuck by two pieces of bark, so he had to shrink his body to a size of 1 centimeter.
Then the body stretched out, mimicking a red-headed centipede, and a bunch of calves moved in unison, quickly chasing after it.
That's a lot faster than a zombie ant.
The white whiskers on the zombie ant's body were constantly shaking, apparently scared.
Suddenly, it let go of its hands and feet and fell, as if it wanted to commit suicide and didn't want to cheapen Mei Jun, a hateful hunter, in vain.
But Mei Jun directly pounced on a vicious dog!
The body suddenly rotated 360 degrees + 90 degrees in the air, and bit the zombie ant with its chelicera.
"Do you want the golden cicada to come out of its shell? Hmph, no way!"
The mother species of zombie fungus was bitten by Mei Jun, and the instinct of life and fear of death instantly stimulated the potential.
It retracts and retracts all the hyphae, and its long stem bursts out of its shell.
It's an attempt to get out of this corpse that has become a burden.
However, it probably didn't think about the consequences of this detachment, and after losing its zombie shell, it would only fall into a sea of acid, and then be dissolved by the ruthless biological acid, and finally coaxed into a piece of black charcoal.
But Mei Jun had already noticed its movements, and immediately let go of the useless zombie ant corpse in his mouth, and his body bounced up again, directly devouring the mother species of zombie fungus that was powerless to resist into his body.
This corpse is also "good luck", it just so happened that a limb hung on a piece of bark, so that it did not end up with no bones.
"Hehe, I finally got it. ”
Feeling the white fungus in her body, Mei Jun's toothless face couldn't help but smile.
Now that the thing is in hand, it is natural to leave.
The wings on his back stretched out, flapping slightly, and flew directly to the top of the tree.
As everyone knows, the body of the zombie ant behind him gradually moved.
Its other limbs pulled the hanging body back to a safe position, and looked at Mei Jun's back from a distance, a look of resentment appeared in its pale compound eyes, and its tooth-like chewing mouthparts were gritting its teeth.
Its brother died, and just now, its brother lived for the sake of its wiser mother's species...
They are born at the same time under intense nuclear radiation, gaining consciousness at the same time, but trapped in the same spores... Despite their respective consciousnesses, they cannot be separated.
Originally, they could control this group of ants to control this yard, and then escape from here, trying to find a way to separate the same body, but... This humanoid monster destroyed everything!
They are also separated forever.
The mother zombie fungus endured this inexplicable grief, found a deep hole in the banyan tree bitten by the bug, and quietly climbed up along the gap between the bark.
It can only be swallowed up by the sea of acid that is slowly rising below.
Because it's going to live.
There is only hope if you live!
And Mei Jun didn't know that he had provoked a potential enemy at this time.
The sea of acid in the yard was still rising, but as the viscous liquid rose, the stiles in the fruiting bodies of the mushrooms kept elongating.
Under the umbrella of the fungus, which has gradually widened, the monokaryotic hyphae with the adjacent walls constantly reveal viscous biological acid, which mixes into the sea of acid below along the long stipe.
The terrible biological acid not only dissolves living things, but also erodes soil gravel.
They use the biological acids they produce to dissolve all organic and inorganic matter, so as to obtain the nutrients they need to grow, which is simply terrifying...
As long as there are enough nutrients and living space, these things will continue to grow and grow before their species limits.
"Big brother, something is wrong!" Su Po saw that Mei Jun, who had been sitting cross-legged on the branch for a day, finally woke up, and hurriedly shouted.
"Fungus Master!"
This mother species of zombie fungus is indeed a strange thing, and it takes so long to digest it completely. However, why hasn't Lao Tzu's physical limit been broken yet?
Mei Jun exhaled deeply, his body returned to stability, and he said secretly.
Although he woke up, his mind was still immersed in the question of why he couldn't break through the limit, so he didn't hear Su Pofu's call.
He was puzzled now, obviously he had a strong premonition that told him that as long as he devoured the mother species of the zombie fungus, he would be able to break through the current limit.
Sure enough, the man's sixth sense is not accurate at all.
In desperation, he stupidly pushed the problem to his sixth sense, who couldn't speak, and then pulled his mind back and stood up.
He would never have imagined that this zombie fungus mother species actually had two consciousnesses, which was equivalent to having two mother species.
Moreover, zombie fungi do not have brains that store memories like insects, and they can't get memories related to this mother species when they devour it, so it is impossible to know that there are two mother species of zombie fungi, and the last one is still quietly hiding in this tree.
