"And now you believe it?" Nine-Tails blinked her charming eyes, and a bewitching smile returned to her face.

"How?" Goku said in surprise.

"Don't worry about it for now, are you still letting me save him?"

Wukong and Jingliuli glanced at each other, still a little hesitant. If Nine-Tails wants to kill Xuanzang, this is a great opportunity. But Jing Liuli still reminded Wukong that Xuanzang's vital signs were already very weak.

Nine-Tails put away his smile and said solemnly, "I know you don't trust me, but I volunteered to save him." ”

"Why?"

"Do you a favor so that you can't refuse my request." Nine-Tails looked down at Xuanzang and urged again, "Make a decision quickly, he won't last long." ”

It's a big deal that as soon as Xuanzang dies, he immediately kills the underworld and asks them to hand over their souls. But then his soul was exposed...... It's best to risk it now.

Thinking so, Goku gritted his teeth and agreed.

So Nine-Tails knelt down, felt the switch of the gas mask, took a deep breath, and lifted it.

Then she quickly bent down and kissed Xuanzang's mouth.

"What are you doing here!" Goku shouted.

Nine-Tails left Xuanzang's body, put on his mask again, looked at Wukong and smiled evilly: "What, will this kill people?" ”

Goku pressed the crooked end of the crowbar against the back of her head and stared at her coldly.

"Don't be so nervous, I'm just passing on the spores in my body to him, these will be milder than those in the air." Nine-Tails explained, and then began to emit that looping high-frequency tones.

In her chanting, Xuanzang's injuries really gradually improved, just like a witch doctor casting a spell, giving Wukong and Jingliuli a ridiculous feeling.

"I thought I was going to die, and I saw a lot of life in the way." Xuanzang stood up. "It's good that I've lived long enough, and my near-death experience will be a little longer." ”

The two companions breathed a sigh of relief, and Goku let go of the crowbar against the head of the Nine-Tails, and said vaguely, "You're lucky." ”

"You saved me?" Xuanzang looked at the Nine-Tails, "Why are you back again." Didn't you escape? ”

Nine-Tails smiled bitterly: "I guessed that most of you would catch up with me, but I didn't expect it to fail to stop you, and I didn't expect that I would be affected by the people who were chasing you, and I almost died." ”

Xuanzang interrogated the situation just now, turned his head and glanced at the white rattan that sealed the passage, and felt that the clues in his memory began to become clear.

His own actions in the face of a rampaging zombie attack are based on three characteristics of the monster:

First, after blocking the passage, it only retaliates against the attackers;

Second. The pattern of using spores to sense changes in the environment is still in effect;

Third, the judgment of the intent of the attack depends on whether the enemy's movement trend is directed towards the room behind it.

That is, if the intent to attack is ruled out, the monster is basically neutral to organisms that approach it. This is confirmed by his own proximity to the Nine-Tails. "And the reason why you came here is because the explosion just now killed the spores in other places, and only the concentration of spores here meets the requirements." Xuanzang said to the Nine-Tails.

"You're really good."

"Then why don't you get infected by the spores, but instead use their properties to heal?"

Nine-Tails replied, "Because of my transformation ability." It is from these spores. ”

Xuanzang's eyes lit up.

I see, it makes sense. Their adult body breathes life into the flesh of a dead animal. It can even be remodeled into stem cells. If the Nine-Tails used its ability, it was indeed possible to change the shape of the entire body tissue and take on the appearance of a fox.

"It's amazing that you can do such an experiment on your own." Xuanzang exclaimed.

Nine-Tails denied it: "The process may not be as remarkable as you think. The spores also grow outside the body when exposed to the right amount of gamma rays, and I just mix the grown plants with the blood of several animals. The extract is injected into the rats, and if one of the groups is successful, the one is used. Because I've heard that among the animals that are easy to obtain, mice and humans have the highest genetic similarity. ”

Xuanzang raised his eyebrows: "It's a miracle that you're still alive." ”

"Time is really tight, so I can't take care of it so much." Nine-Tails laughed.

"So in the end it was the fox that succeeded?"

Nine-Tails nodded. Added: "Mixed in the somatic cells of the zombies here, as I need to be immune to poison gas to enter the vault. Fortunately, the addition of this ingredient did not trigger a negative reaction, and the ability to gas immunity and night vision were inherited. The compatibility of this spore is really strong. ”

Xuanzang carefully captured the information revealed in her words and fell into deep thought.

What the zombies had previously told him was that when infected with the spores, they would experience highly suggestive dreams and hallucinations under the influence of their secretions. The closer you are to the source of the spores, the white branches in front of you, the more severe the infection becomes, and eventually the entire brain is controlled.

He initially speculated that the process of aggravation of symptoms was influenced by pheromones, and after formal contact, it did not correspond to the monster's ability to perceive the environment using spores. The speed of the reaction is not something that can be achieved by the delivery of chemical species, and it is likely to be bioelectricity or a more advanced form.

In the conventional sense, spores belong to germ cells, and each spore can develop into a complete plant. But judging from the rudimentary experiments done by the Nine-Tails, and the performance of the monsters in the first two battles, it can still form swarm intelligence. All the white branches and spores add up to the complete structure of the monster.

In this sense, this spore has gone beyond the role of a germ cell and exists as a fully functional part. The white branch is not a certain stage of its growth, but a form that changes in order to achieve its function. When needed, it can also grow in the air in an instant, turning into a flower bomb.

Individuals who break away from the group are not so powerful, but they also retain some of their strong nature. For example, in such a simple experiment as the Nine-Tails, it was able to complete the ingestion of foreign genes and constantly change its physical environment, creating the transformation of the Nine-Tails.

How did such a powerful creature come about?

Xuanzang raised his eyes and looked at the Nine-Tails: "You just said that gamma rays will promote its growth?" ”

"Yes. Conversely, it also accelerates death if it continues to act. The new spores released before dying will first restore the environment to the state in which they were first safely stationed, and then wait for the opportunity to grow again. ”

"That is, to turn back into a human body." Xuanzang looked at her meaningfully, "You have changed back now." And I just had time to see that the lead plates in the room didn't seem to block out all the radiation. ”

Nine-Tails smiled approvingly, "You guessed it, that's why I'm here." (To be continued......)
