Chapter 20 After staying at home for too long, I became docile

Huge creatures are speeding up the ocean.

It's been days and nights in the direction of the pom-poms that the plague fungus floats out.

At the moment, Lynn's Behemoth hadn't noticed anything special, and Lynn had only noticed that the pom-poms seemed to be able to move in a different direction, and they weren't exactly floating in the wind.

Therefore, Lin's goal is even clearer, mainly to the northwest of the Dinosaur Continent, from which those pompoms float out, and now all to do is to find them and destroy them.

Lin felt that it might not be that simple, that might be their last big fortress, although the distance between the two places was too far, and the information of the fungus destruction here should not reach that side.

But Lynn had a feeling that it could be a war......

In the process of advancing, Lynn observed and tested some marine creatures, and Lynn always felt that this problem needed attention, fungi may adapt to the marine environment, they originally crawled from the ocean to the land, if the plague fungus reached the sea, it would be troublesome, and it is unlikely to be able to clean them up.

Behemoth approached the surface and released some mini-units into the water to observe a school of fish called the Stargram Shark, which can stick to the skin of the fish in large quantities, check their physical condition, and other things.

The fish seem to be in good condition, and Lynn has not yet found that the fungus is not afraid of the sea.

However, Lin never used sea water to attack them, just worried that they would be resistant to sea water, and the speed of change of these creatures is really difficult to determine.

What's that?

Behemoth suddenly noticed that in the distance, on the surface of the sea, there was a huge thing floating. The shape looks like a ......

…… Is this an Aztec airship?

After Behemoth approached. Lynn carefully observed the giant floating in the ocean. Lynn remembered that this thing was made by the Aztec worm and used to float on the ocean, which could be called a 'boat'.

But the three pillars on which the sails stood were broken, and they could no longer move.

And there were a lot of them when we set off, but I only saw one here.

Behemoth unleashed a number of flyers who flew into the holes and crevices of the ship to observe what was going on inside. Lynn saw that it was covered with small species of Aztec worms, but they all looked dead. A few others are in a state of 'dying'.

Monte II wasn't here, in another place, in the same direction as the fungal pompoms.

In that case, it must go over and take a look, it should not be infected by the fungus now, otherwise the class that Lynn parasitizes under its brain will die.

Behemoth sped up and flew in the direction of the target, and along the way Lynn saw more and more floating fungal balls, but these things would be intercepted by the troops in the air when they approached the mainland, and none of them could fly into the continent.

Now, Lynn's pterosaurs in the continent have been living alongside the skeleton dragons. Hunting and living with them is like the same race. They also built a small hut for Lynn's pterosaurs.

Lynn grew to know them as she lived with them for a while, and the skeletal dragons loved to hunt nearby, going to the river to fetch water when they ran out of water, and they used a plant root system tied together to make a water-filled thing.

They almost always like to sprinkle salt when they eat, this will indeed be more 'delicious', Lin still didn't tell the taste of these foods after thinking about it for a while, Lin feels that it will become dependent on this food, the dragons may have eaten for a long time, and the body has the ability to resist, but it is definitely harmful for the head worm to eat too much.

Now Lin is also trying to understand the meaning of the words of the dragons, their words are not as rich as those of the head worms, but they also include a lot of content, and recently, the leader seems to be planning to lead the tribe to the other side of the desert, the white salt and sand sea, to explore and find food.

They don't go so fast, but they don't go for a few days and nights.

Because Lynn doesn't like to do two things at the same time, she has to deal with the situation first.

Behemoth flew over a number of small desert islands, and Lynn noticed that there were many atmospheric slimes in the sky around the area, strange creatures like fish swimming in the sky, and they fled as soon as they saw Behemoth.

After flying for a while, Lin also saw a large aquatic reptile active in the sea, and far ahead, Rin's destination finally appeared......

A huge island, and in the distance, Lynn could see large mushrooms lining the island, far from the sand where the waves were crashing, and it was clear that the island's creatures had been devoured by them.

Lynn wanted to give them an incendiary bomb from this position, but she stopped.

The fungus seemed strange and gave Lynn a different feeling......

Behemoth slowly approached the island, and the huge mushrooms didn't react, they didn't form cannons to shoot this way, they didn't seem to know anything......

In this way, Lynn can study them, the color is one of their strange points, and the 'umbrella' on the top of these mushrooms is actually green.

Lynn had seen quite a few plague fungi, they were basically three colors, gray, red or purple, and this green made them look like ...... Plants are the same.

And even the mycelium on the ground was actually green, so Lin asked Behemoth to release some fungus explorers, and let these protective classes eat some mushrooms and mycelium for monitoring.

This feeling...... It's really weird.

After the fungi were eaten, Lynn found that they were indeed plague fungi, but they did not grow like the plague fungi on the distant islands, in fact they did not grow at all, nor did they attack cells, they seemed to have lost the contagiousness of the common plague fungus......

The green part, on the other hand, is the same as the plant, which absorbs light to obtain nutrients, but with a slight difference, the fungus does not grow those green structures on its own, but a different organism from them, a green algae that gathers there in large quantities.

The fungus has a symbiotic relationship with them, which makes them similar to plants, and can obtain the energy of light, as are the hyphae on the ground.

Do these fungi absorb the nutrients of green algae and therefore lose their ability to infect? And the dust released by these fungi is not that contagious, they are more like plants that fall into the ground and grow, but they only grow when there are no mushrooms nearby.

At first, seeing that the fungus on the island was growing so vigorously, Lin thought that they hadn't eaten the island yet, so they grew so well, and the fungus would slowly wither after eating the island up.

But here is the complete opposite, they may have stayed for a long time, and after eating up the entire island, they realized that they were going to start perishing, so they came up with this way to continue living.

I don't know if the fungus balls flew out of here, but I can hear some sounds in the distance.

Lynn sent more prospectors to look around, while Behemoth flew to the beach and stayed still, although the fungus didn't seem to be contagious, so he needed to be careful.

This is......

When she flew to the beach, Lynn noticed that there was a hole in the beach more than two meters in diameter, as if something had been dug here, Behemoth released a predator to dig into the cave, the cave was very deep, and the inner walls were reinforced, and in it Lynn found many broken egg shells.

This is an Aztec ...... Speaking of which, Monte II was also in this place.

It seems to have reached a very deep part of the island, and it should be found when the prospectors slowly explore that location.

Some of the explorers flew into the jungle, and Lynn discovered the source of the sound, and in the middle of the jungle, there were some huge spherical structures that would expand and release pompoms.

The fungus dust contained in the pompoms was still very aggressive, and they were exactly the same as the large number of plague fungi that Lynn had destroyed before.

This is really special, and although they have become 'peaceful' here, they are still highly contagious to the outside world.

And these bulbs have a ring of hyphae connected to it on the ground, and these myceliums are connected to nearby mushrooms, so it can be said that all the mushrooms in the surrounding jungle are powering these balls.

They're trying to spread out with all their might! It seems that even if they are trapped on the island, even if they come up with a way to continue living, they still don't forget that they will keep spreading and invading.

Sure enough, it is a very troublesome species, Lin may have to 'purify' the whole island, but for now, let's investigate first, this island is quite large, maybe dozens of kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers wide, but there are not many pompoms floating out, so we have to take a look, maybe they are floating in other directions, maybe there are other secrets in it.

In addition to the green mushrooms and mycelium, there are many fungal structures that mimic plant forms, all of which are identical and overgrown with green algae, which they are now completely dependent on.

As the explorers explored the jungle, the sky slowly darkened, and these fungi suddenly showed a strange side, and they began to emit bursts of bright light, and all the fungi shimmered like stars, and looked quite beautiful.

They may be doing this to provide light to the green algae, but this energy conversion doesn't seem to be cost-effective, and it may have other purposes......

What's even more peculiar is that after the night of this jungle, a lot of ...... suddenly emerge from this glowing mushroom woodland Animal. (To be continued......)
