Chapter 228: Looking Directly at the Monster
After seeing the distribution of mycelium underground, Xu Yunshu ignited some confidence in his pendant.
Anyway, these things don't weigh much to him either.
His mobility has not weakened much because of this, and if it is found that it does not work in battle, it is good to disintegrate the silk thread directly.
The inner walls of the deep cave are covered with mycelium, arranged in intricate horizontal lines, spreading deeper and deeper.
Leaving the swamp and returning to the Dream Forest, Xu Yunshu is like returning to his home turf, he no longer needs Zhao Yulang's guidance, as long as he strengthens the power of his fingers and claws, and climbs up from the cliff, he will definitely be able to return to the north slope he is familiar with.
But Xu Yunshu didn't do that.
The reason was very simple, Zhao Yulang's possessed embarrassment was only at the level of a second-level predator, and if he couldn't reach the ground through the cave, it would be impossible for Xu Yunshu to see him within the range of a corner of the Dream Forest and leave traces.
As it turned out, he was right.
This cave with a huge mass of fungi naturally spirals upward, and the path is so rugged and twisty that there are many places that ordinary humans would look like moats.
However, with the ability of a predator, it can basically walk on the ground.
When Xu Yunshu saw the light again, he smelled the fresh scent of leaves, grass and trees.
Climbing to the top from a narrow slope, Xu Yunshu looked around and realized that this was still the northern slope of the forest.
However, it was further away from the scope of his search for members of the Order.
At some point, the shaking of the ground in a corner of the forest disappeared, and the forest seemed to have regained its former tranquility.
The competition for survival continued, and when Xu Yunshu showed his head, there was a sound of low-level predators running away.
Xu Yunshu was pleased to see that the species resources in this area were quite abundant, and he would surely be able to fill the gap in the corner of the Dream Forest in the future.
However, the sound of the earth shaking and the mountains are over, which also means one thing.
The underground pupa host competition has completely ended.
If it weren't what he expected, the eventual winner would disintegrate in a short period of time.
The parasites will use this flesh and energy as materials to reconstruct the body of the pupa to complete the reproduction, and eventually lurk, waiting for a corner of the dream forest to recover, and then harvest again.
Xu Yunshu is running out of time.
He looked back and saw that the Gang clan and the people who followed Lu Youyou and Sun Jiahao were still on the trek, so he decided to ignore them for now, and first climbed over the mountain peak to explore the way, and by the way, observed the situation in the corner of the forest at this time.
Xu Yunshu hurriedly left a sentence, "You will climb over the mountain for a while, stay on the ridge, and then decide whether to go to the south slope or not depending on the situation." ”
After that, he left the group behind, and a wolf went alone.
The speed of the fourth-level predator was amazingly fast, and Xu Yunshu ran away with bits and pieces all over his body, like white lightning, leaving only Zhao Yulang and the three of them, who had not yet had time to translate the instructions with the gods of the Gang clan.
But the three of them weren't in a hurry.
Anyway, the battle after that is not something that possessors of their level can participate in, so it is better to move forward cautiously and wait and see from afar.
If Xu Yunshu needs their help, he will listen to their orders when the time comes.
The three people who made up their minds took the ignorant and excited Gang clan and carried the materials behind the dismantling of the temple all the way slowly, watching Xu Yunshu disappear without a trace.
No hurry, no hurry, no rush anyway.
On the other hand, those who are really anxious have already crossed the ridge and looked down from the heights of this corner of the forest.
The battlefield of the pupa plague is indeed over.
The first-place snail was sucking the flesh of the second-place place, its body swelled again, and Xu Yunshu also saw the parasite's means of enlarging its body.
In order to accommodate the flesh energy of more creatures, they are working to weave a new shell for the transparent snail.
These parasites are like industrious weavers, constantly trying to bridge the uncovered areas with the flesh and blood of the losers.
Xu Yunshu looked from afar, looking at the snail that was stagnant in the middle of the forest, as if he saw a battleship being formed and perfected in the empty dock.
With just the final splicing and livery, this terrifying battleship will set sail.
Or...... Straight shipwreck?
Who knows, after all, there is no precedent.
What Xu Yunshu was afraid of was that if the giant snail suddenly disintegrated after the moment of successful fusion, and then scattered, his hard work would be in vain.
He pondered for a moment, and felt that while the snail had not yet completed its final fusion, he might have a miraculous effect if he stepped forward to attack.
Xu Yunshu made up his mind, jumped down from the ridge, accelerated on the flat slope in the south of the mountain, and rushed towards the direction of the huge snail at a thunderous speed.
The armor hanging from his body was swaying with the howling wind.
Xu Yunshu prayed in his heart, hoping that they would really work.
For a fourth-order predator, the distance from the ridge to the giant snail is not very far, especially when the snail reaches the size of a mountain, which is already close at hand.
It took Xu Yunshu less than a minute to reach the snail's side.
When he was still a little distance away from the snail, Xu Yunshu stopped, quietly lurked in the bushes, and looked in the direction of the snail.
Next, it's time to verify that the nail tablet works.
In the battle involving his own safety and interests, Xu Yunshu has always been cautious and cautious, never arrogant, and the pig has made rapid progress.
The first step was to determine whether his consciousness would still be infected by the parasite's inability to see while wearing armor.
According to the past combat experience with the parasitic host, being at a straight-line distance like Xu Yunshu and a snail will not be polluted by too much thinking.
But just one step closer, and everything will be different.
The assembly of the giant snail continued, and the process of absorbing flesh was rapid, but its size was so large that the relative rate of fusion was particularly slow.
Because of this, the giant snail has a brief gap where it cannot move.
Xu Yunshu can take advantage of this opportunity to experiment with the efficacy of nail tablets.
He took a deep breath and strengthened his brain, allowing his thought thread to be cut into four parts.
This trick is very useful in dealing with Wang Minxue in the real world and Guo Xiaojie in the Dream Forest, but the problem is that it needs to continuously consume energy, and the thinking ability of the four threads is not as strong as going all out.
Fighting with this kind of behemoth that gathers all the flesh and blood energy in a corner of the forest, the slightest mistake may overturn, let alone be distracted into four parts.
If everything is as he thinks, and the extract of solution 14 is the secretion of hyphae, then this thing may really be able to restrain parasites.
In other words, they are in a relationship of mutual restraint.
Xu Yunshu needs to be verified.
After establishing the thread of his thoughts, he did not hesitate to take a step forward, arriving at the snail like a mountain and entering the realm where parasites can influence thinking.
Then, Xu Yunshu raised his head and looked directly at the huge body.
