Underneath the giant mushroom is a moorland crocodile, which at first glance looks like a tortoise with a smaller shell, but the shell is a large mushroom.

This cavern swamp crocodile was not the same as their counterparts in the redwood forest, including the tail was more than three meters long, and its body was a little thin, but the scales on its body were metallic, reflecting the psionic brilliance in Ian's eyes, which looked dark and ominous.

The cave crocodile dragon carrying the giant mushroom moved extremely slowly, and it was not as ferocious as its counterparts on land, and after noticing Ian and the others, it did not make any attack or warning, but continued to slowly approach the lake.

Ian didn't make a move, he took Isengard out of the way, and found that the other party really didn't care about them, just quietly came to the lake to drink.

"It seems that the crocodile is in a hypothermic state...... Symbiosis or parasitism? It's a bit like cordyceps...... It's more like Pyra Xter in the treasure X dream. ”

Ian was a little curious about the strange form of existence: but now was clearly not the time to study.

Avoiding the crocodile, Ian and Ethan found a relatively dry place and put the old man down.

Master Gosai was well protected, and nothing happened, but there was too much anesthesia from Isengard during the previous operation, and he just hasn't woken up yet.

Ian looked around the cavern, then frowned.

Unlike the cave area on the outside, which is shrouded in psionic fluorescence, there is no electric arc that flickers in the air from time to time to provide light, and although there is still a psionic field, it is biased towards the water genus, so the place is cold and damp, and it is almost impossible to reach out and lose sight of the five fingers.

But there are a lot of cold light sources in the cave, which are the fluorescence of some kind of creature, and Ian didn't take a serious look at it at first, but now when he looks at it, he finds that the light source is a giant mushroom of different sizes.

These giant mushrooms are sublimation fungi, the largest of which is more than five meters tall, with a distinct bulge on the canopy, and those raised points are fluorescent sources, and glowing slime flows from them.

The strange scent that fills the air is emanating from these mucus, with a rather refreshing sweetness.

"What kind of creature is this?"

His brows furrowed slightly, and he leaned forward slightly, and the young man's eyes lit up with a silver light.

When it landed, dense data flowed out.

【Obera Giant Mushroom (Terra Xenomorph)】

[First Energy Level, Mature Body, Normal, Symbiotic Sub-Intelligent Creatures, Obera Star Domain Secondary Low Intelligent Creatures, Psionic Network Substrains]

【Body Material...... Sublimation of mycelium...... Metal-based life]

[Strength Grade: Normal]

[Essentia: 22.2491 base units]

[One of the main wild sublimation creatures of the third ecological planet of Obera, the ecological cycle of the Obera star field must unit.] The giant golden mushroom can move by fusing with other living creatures, but after a period of time, it will gradually merge itself with the symbiote using special enzymes, and become an immobile giant golden mushroom again.

[After the destruction of the Obera Domain, after arriving in the Terra Domain through the 'Tinder', it was transformed by local intelligent creatures, successfully adapted to the local ecology, and was retained as an experimental object of the 'Metal-based Biosphere' and the 'Psionic Network']

[Now fully wild, localized]

【……】

"The teacher has really gotten better...... It's a pity that the regeneration potion can't be used continuously, otherwise the teacher's injuries will probably be able to heal most of them directly! ”

At this moment, Isengard had already checked on Master Gosai - Ian's operation was a success, and after all the lesions were removed and dug up, and his blood was further killed, the parasites in the old man's body were almost completely eliminated.

Although Master Gosai hadn't woken up yet, he couldn't help but want to report the good news to Ian, who was in a daze beside the giant mushroom: "Ian...... Ian? ”

Then, with some confusion, he saw that the white-haired young man, who had been very calm all the way, stared directly at the giant mushroom in front of him in a daze, as if he was looking at something incredible.

After a while, he gasped and whispered to himself, "What the hell?" ”

- Alien creatures?!

Meanwhile.

Flameland team.

“…… What do you mean is that there was a White Folk who had been following us all along, following in the footsteps of the Vanguard, undetected by anyone, and when the Vanguard was about to capture the young master of the Eren family, he suddenly attacked and collapsed the cave, and then killed Gomunda and them all, and went deep into the cave at a speed that you can't track...... Ran away? ”

The captain who heard the scout's report took a deep breath, clearly wanting to get angry.

But he also knew very well that it was useless to get angry, so he forcibly suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Okay." Looks like we're underestimating the Sattar mongrel. ”

He walked briskly along the cavern, an invisible wind surrounding him.

The cavern that stopped the soldiers of the Flame Land was as if it didn't exist in front of him, and with the wind shaking and the dust flying, a large human-shaped cavern appeared in the middle of the stone pile - and the earth knight behind him hurriedly stepped forward, urging essentia to solidify the cave passage.

The captain came to the cavern full of corpses, and he looked around at the underground cavern that was flowing with blood, and even the bulging organ on his forehead that sensed the heat was violent.

"Good."

He gritted his teeth and smashed out the words one by one from between his teeth: "I didn't expect to underestimate that Bai Zhimin - I thought he was just a wave singer and didn't need to care too much, but now it seems that he is actually a water demon inheritance, or a very high-level bloodline." ”

Turning, he looked at the Church of Machines team following closely.

The captain's face sank and he ordered: "Find them." ”

The friar shook her head and said, "This is not within the scope of cooperation. ”

"They have seriously threatened our exploration mission." The captain sneered, "I'm afraid you don't know, that white people are the new generation of sublimators that the local Viscount Grant has vigorously cultivated in recent years...... I'm afraid it's his apprentice or illegitimate child or something. ”

"The fact that he was able to shake off our scouts so easily shows that he knows this place very well—the Viscount of Port Harrison also has a part of the key in his hand, and he may have cracked some of the secrets of this group of ruins."

"Catch that little young master of the White People and the Eren family, and ask these secrets. It's definitely a lot faster than if we were wandering around the cave. ”

The friar was silent for a moment, then she and the two watchmen who had been following her closely behind each other exchanged glances, then nodded slightly.

"Okay."

Turning her head to meet the captain's eye, the friar continued in that synthesized voice, "We agree to your proposal. However, we remind you that in the event of an unforeseen situation, our task will take precedence. ”

"[Heterobiosphere], [Ascension Test Site], [Tinder Prototype] or [Tinder Core Design Drawing]."

Saying this, the friar's voice once again took on an irrepressible fervor: "Everything that has to do with these three things, obey our orders first. ”

The group leader took a few deep breaths.

"No problem." He calmed down and promised, "And now? ”

The friar nodded. So a watchman behind her stepped forward and took off his helmet.

It was a grotesque head that had been completely mechanized, with only a large crystal one-eyed skull on its entire skull, and it looked like a cyclops.

"Turn on Footstep Trace Mode."

The Watchhorse's milky white translucent crystal eye emitted a fierce glow that shone into the cavern - as soon as you ascended, you could see a clearly visible footprint of light from it, speeding all the way to the depths of the cavern.

【Human Juvenile Body】【Human Juvenile Body-Carrying Human Old Age Body】

Click. The cyclops-like Knight of the Watch put his impenetrable helmet back on.

And the friar made a 'please' gesture to the captain.

"Let's go." Without the slightest hesitation, the captain immediately led the team to follow.

At the same time.

Above the sea.

Elder Pudder, who returned from Port Harrison in the Aether armament, brought very bad news for Viscount Grant.

"Bishop White Mist has entered the underground ruins alone?!"

Holding the four-color card key, the viscount frowned and stared at the closed ruin door, as if pondering a very serious question.

But the bad news brought by Elder Pud still made his head flutter for a while, and he felt unbelievable: "What's going on? This place is a secret mission for my clan to guard, and it is also the four keys I have gathered! Back then, the emperor personally gave us a task to our family! ”

"Why do they all seem to know so much about this underground ruin, but I don't know, I don't know anything?!"
