"It's okay, it's just a simple synthetic sugar, it needs to be catalyzed to become a psychedelic anesthetic, let's stir it directly with water, it's pure nutrition."

Ian himself has the body of a pure rock, and is not afraid of parasites and toxins in general, but he also has a silver chip. Of course, there is no problem with the sugar water that I know and others drink.

It's just that he actually has some emotion: "Giant golden mushrooms don't actually take the initiative to kill symbiotic beasts through symbiotic methods - they will make the body of symbiotic beasts harder, and their strength will also increase, the host can get stronger power, and giant golden mushrooms can also go to more places to disperse spores, in general, it is an all-round win-win situation." ”

"However, after a long period of symbiosis, as the mycelium spreads in the body, the symbiote will inevitably become a semi-fungal creature, become unmoving, and even end up burying itself altogether, seeing itself as a huge golden mushroom."

It's a transformation, not just parasitism, and there's a big difference between the two.

This was clearly the case with the fortress tortoise, which no longer felt like a turtle, but a moving mushroom.

If you have to explain it from this point of view, the giant mushroom can indeed make people crazy.

Something is strange, though.

Ian could probably guess that the reason why the cave where the giant mushroom is located is cold and full of thermophilic metal-based life may be due to the heat dissipation system of the ruins - when the ruins dissipate heat abnormally, the original cold of this place will be converted into a high-heat cave suitable for their activities and survival, and there is an endless supply of water, which is a very precious settlement place.

But why did all the giant mushrooms shrink into this little cave and not spread outward?

It didn't take long for Ian to know the answer.

- Of course, it's not strong enough, and it's suppressed by other monsters!

As the giant golden mushrooms and the soldiers of the Flying Flame Land in the entire cave fought, the strange sweet fragrance began to spread, and the sound of Suo Suo came from the distant cave and the underground river, and then, in Ian's foresight, more than a dozen demonic beast-level blue mist floated out!

Among them, there are even some parasitic beasts parasitized by braineaters!

Seeing this, Ian almost gasped, and he immediately signaled Ethan, who was unknown on the side, to speed up, and he immediately reversed his direction and rushed in the direction that did not lead to the underground river and the underground lake.

He got it all right.

- When the ruins dissipate heat abnormally, the giant golden mushroom will be activated, and the mellow sugar liquid it produces will attract many surrounding magical beasts, and even parasitic infected beasts!

Although the brain-eating insect is terrifying, it is defeated by heaven in the face of the brainless giant mushroom and the symbiotic beast controlled by the brainless giant mushroom.

In the process, the giant golden mushroom will be eaten by the demonic beasts, so that they can get reproduction and advanced food, after all, it is a special nutritional supplement for the earth sublimator that even Ian wants to take for a long time, and the value is indeed extremely high.

And some giant golden mushrooms will also rely on the intoxication brought by the high concentration of sugar mist to obtain their own symbiotic beasts, and use the corpses left after the battle as nutrients for the development of the mushroom group.

While parasitic beasts are destroyed by symbiotes and other magical beasts, they will also infect some magical beasts and beasts.

In this way, the resources of the three parties circulate with each other.

Every time the heat dissipation is abnormal, it is a large-scale resource exchange and a nutrient cycle!

The anomaly of the ruins has been going on for many years, and has even become a cycle of this underground ecological cycle...... It constitutes a complete set of underground ecosystems.

And this time, the arrival of the soldiers of the Flying Flame Land activated the activation of the mushroom group in advance.

Although Ethan didn't know what was going on, he was also keenly aware of the extra breath of life around him - he was more or less an alchemy genius, and he quickly figured out the crux of the matter, and he didn't say a word like Ian, and ran away.

But there were so many monsters and beasts rushing towards the Giant Mushroom Cave that even Ian, who had a foresight horizon, couldn't avoid them all.

Just as he was about to turn to the cave above, a sudden gust of hot and fishy wind came from above!

It was a giant red-clawed cave bear that had been parasitic for a long time, a cave-maker that could heat its own metal claw blades and easily dig caverns in any rock wall.

Ian had expected it, and as soon as his body jumped, he took a big step towards the side and back with Ethan, dodging the fierce claw slash that was enough to break through the steel armor.

"Sure enough, sensing that Ithan and I were more active in our minds, did they give up on the mushroom and hunt us down?"

He had long known that there were cave bears in front of him whose movements overlapped with them, but because many Demonic Beasts had noticed the strength of the two and the two of them before, they avoided them, so Ian wanted to see if the parasitic beasts had a different mode of action.

Sure enough, the parasitic beast's mode of action was selected based on the level of mental activity, or in other words, the 'psionic ability'.

At first, the cave bear only moved on to them, and did not really take action, but when he noticed the fluctuations when Ian used the foresight, he immediately lunged at him like crazy.

Not only that, but there was also a faint sound of appointment behind him, and it was a lot of parasitic beasts that had gone towards the giant mushroom cave before and began to track Ian and the others in turn.

"No wonder the previous parasitic beast took the initiative to attack me, what a troublesome place, a troublesome bug."

Although he already knew it, it was impossible for Ian not to know the horizon, and he could only break through at this moment.

The cave bear pounced on it again, this bear was not tall compared to its counterparts in Terra, but it was also about two meters and a half on average, and its pounce was strong enough to crush Ian and Esengard together.

But to deal with it, you don't even need Ian to do it.

Isengard reached out and pointed at the bear's lower body.

Although after being parasitized, the parasitic beast basically can't use the following thing, but there is also the same neurofeedback, and the parasite only replaces the brain, and it is not completely able to control every movement of the body.

So in an instant, under the corrosive poisonous fire created by Isengard, the cave bear fell to the ground with an indescribable, extremely terrible wail, and the blow became weak and slow, and was easily dodged by the two of them.

"Sure enough!" After doing such an unspeakable cruel thing, Isengard was very excited, his little face was flushed, and even his eyes had a lot of light: "Thank you, Ian, I didn't expect to attack here so useful......"

"Learn from you in combat, and that's right!"

"Learn from me?"

Hearing this, Ian was a little puzzled, he didn't show a penchant for attacking the lower body, at most he attacked weaknesses based on ergonomics...... Hmm, it seems like that's why?

But in any case, Ian is not suitable for fighting with Master Gosai on his back, and it is a great thing for the team that Esengard can learn the art of fighting.
