"Roll, dodge."

Seeing the rampaging horde rushing towards it, the head worm rolled to a stone in a row, and the little wyvern immediately ran after it, and it seemed to be quite sticky to the head worm.

Lynn, though, didn't think they needed to hide.

Looking at the leader of the Horned Dragons charging at the front, Leviathan aimed his cannon at it and fired a tiny needle stab.

After being shot by a needle, the furious leader of the horned dragon suddenly stopped, and its emotions were calm, and at the same time its people stopped.

They seem to be following the leader completely, and they are not berserk.

Seeing the situation in front of her, Lin confirmed one thing, it seems that some creatures in the jungle look abnormal, all of them have something to do with the skeletal dragon, they probably use some kind of excitatory toxin to cause these creatures to react violently, monitor lizards are like this, maybe the abnormality of the little wyvern is also related to them.

However, Lynn remembered the liquid that excites creatures, and Lynn has had Leviathan create a liquid that counteracts the effect of the excitation liquid, allowing the creature to calm down again.

Seeing this, the skeletal dragon hiding in the grass slowly retreated, and when it retreated to what it thought was safe, it immediately turned and fled.

But before that, the Leviathan had 'positioned' it, and a small needleprick had pierced its back, but it was completely unaware of it.

Next, Lynn proceeded to send the Brainworm to the edge of the jungle, where Lynn began to help the Brainworm build a nest similar to the one it twisted into the Jungle Rock Mountain until it produced troops inside.

The little dragon also naturally followed the head worm to live in, and it seemed to like the head worm very much. The head worm doesn't pay much attention to it.

There shouldn't be any problem with the two of them staying together. When the head worm lives here. Leviathan, for its part, continued to explore the jungle.

Leviathan flew into the jungle again, and Lynn asked Leviathan to check the red tree, and when Leviathan peeled off the bark, the needles inside burst out again, and they hit Leviathan's carapace everywhere.

This time, Leviathan grabbed the bark and wouldn't close it, and Lynn looked closely inside the trunk and saw a spherical structure inside. There are many small holes in the sphere, and in these small holes, Lynn finds a lot of seeds.

Lynn could barely guess what was going on.

The seeds of this tree have a lot of small hooks on them, and it should have been originally shot out every time a creature passed by, and it would stick to other creatures to help spread, and this seed dispersal method is common to many plants.

And those needles coated with stimulant ...... Apparently it was stuffed into it by another creature, and that creature was ...... Skeleton Dragon.

They're doing this to cause some big creatures to fight, and then wait until they're both defeated.

Very interesting way, this creature is worth investigating.

After that, several days and nights passed. Lynn first observed the many dinosaur creatures in the jungle and found the location of the skeletal dragon. Lynn found that it didn't seem to have a group, it was all hunting small creatures in the jungle by itself, and then kept going south, it seemed to be heading somewhere.

Lynn asks the Leviathan to release a flyer to follow it, the Leviathan itself is too large to track, and the Leviathan has to return to the Rift to do something else......

Lin had other things to deal with, so she turned her attention around, although Lin can handle many things at the same time, she doesn't like to do this, Lin prefers to deal with them one by one, unless these things are the same thing.

But this matter may be more important than anything else, and it can even be said that it has encountered a new threat.

Lynn's 'fungal sweepers', the bombarders, and Behemoth, have discovered something special about plague fungi at sea......

Behemoth found the 'Lord of Locusts' and his swarm of locusts in the ocean two hundred kilometers east of the continent.

In fact, Lynn hadn't seen any locusts in her recent fungal clean-up activities, and the locusts she saw now had little to do with fungi.

The locusts are generally yellow, and their blood and bodies are not infected with fungi, while the locusts infected with the fungus are purple, and the same is true for the locust lords, who have changed color because their blood is full of fungi.

Lin followed them and found out that the locusts were not a combat unit, and that the locust lords used them to devour plants from various islands in the sea, and then transported them back to themselves, causing little damage.

They are not as crazy as the ones infected with the fungus, and they will only nibble on a certain amount of nutrients before leaving, and after being infected with the fungus, they completely change their appearance, so Lynn has a special idea about the plague fungus......

Perhaps the fungus can infect the brain through guò to have an impact on biological behavior.

But in general, plague fungi will devour a qiē organism, it is unlikely that it is just infecting the brain, maybe they are selective, so Lin caught some locusts and obtained some plague fungal fungus dust to make a real yàn.

Lynn discovered a strange place, when the fungus dust landed on various parts of the locust's body several times, it would grow rapidly, devouring the whole locust, in the same way as it did with other creatures.

But at some point, as the mycelium spreads through the locust's body, they come into contact with the locust's nerves, and the hyphae climb up their nerves and eventually reach the brain.

The hyphae invade the brain, but they don't engulf the brain cells, and in general it seems to be mixed with the brain.

Originally, the purpose of the life of this division of labor was to collect nutrients for the locust lords, but now its purpose has become to spread fungi.

The fungus will spread the dust into the blood in its body, and then the locusts will first find a way to infect some of the locusts that have not yet been infected, at this time, the fungus will directly infect the brain and not devour them, after infecting them, the locust will find a way to infect other things.

They spread very wildly, sometimes they will directly commit suicide to spread, sometimes they rely on contact and other methods, when the fungus infects the target and grows a large number of mushrooms and other structures, they will eat these structures, in fact, Lin found that they did not digest the fungus they ate, the fungus swallowed by the locust will grow in the stomach and seep into the blood again, and the fungus in the blood will directly secrete some nutrients to maintain the life of the locust.

In other words, they are not symbiotic at all, but rather that the fungus enslaves the locusts, this is the case...... Pretty weird.

Generally speaking, the fungus has no brain, but it can control the brained organisms, and after infecting the locust brain, the surrounding fungus seems to become ...... Get smart.

The fungus reacts according to what the locust sees, for example, when the locust sees fire, they will secrete a fire-resistant mucus, and when the locust sees a plant in the distance, they will grow a structure like a 'cannon tube' to launch the fungus dust, and even when the locust sees a flying fish in the sea, the fungus will immediately react and release a smell to attract the fish to fly up.

Without locusts, the fungus would not have made these reactions, or reacted quite slowly, like a brainless plant......

What's going on? Can fungi 'think' with the help of locust brains?

Is this possible? Fungi 'borrow' the brains of other creatures because they have no brains, and their way of life is not just like the plague, which is quite a special kind of creature.

They have some similarities with the primitive parasitic Inca swarms and can control the species that are parasitized.

Lin Shi yàn had infected locusts install classes such as hallucinogens or brain readers, but this caused the locusts to bleed profusely to their brains.

It seems that because the brain is affected by information conflict, the brain of locusts is small, but it can provide a lot of basic information to the fungus, even vision, etc., but there is no way to give the fungus any intelligence.

It's the same with locust lords, their brains aren't very big, but what if the fungus infects some kind of creature with a high intelligence? What would happen?

It may be that fungi may not have the ability to infect organisms with larger heads, and locusts with simple brains are easy to control, but the larger the head, the more complex the process.

Next, Lin uses fungi to perform real effects on some creatures, such as fish that are common in the sea, etc., and the fungus does not react to these fish, even if the fungus dust is directly placed in the brain, it will not control it but devour it as usual.

Lin then went on to deal with some arthropods, and found that it seemed that controlling was a very accidental act, and the fungus directly devoured the creature most of the time.

Even when infecting locusts, it is not certain that the locusts will be controlled, unless the locusts are transmitted to each other, if the locusts are directly exposed to fungal infection, then most of the locusts will be devoured by the fungus, and one in every hundred may be infected by the brain.

In this way, the behavior of the fungi's control brain is very random, but if they succeed in controlling the fungus, the creature becomes a living creature for the purpose of spreading the fungus......

In general, there are two ways to infect fungi, one is very simple, which is to slowly grow the hyphae and swallow the whole organism, and the other is to allow the mycelium to crawl to the brain and affect the brain of the organism.

Later, in Lynn's experiments, it was found that the fungus infected a small reptilian species, and that if they infected only one organism, they could infect all of their kind in a controlled manner, and that there must be bodily fluid contact between the infected and the uninfected to spread.

All in all, the fungi make them more dangerous and make it harder for Lynn to know how far they've spread.

Recently, Behemoth also discovered that fungi seem to be able to infect some creatures with large brains, and on an island, Lynn saw a large purple creature infected by the fungus. (To be continued......)
