This itching sensation was not obvious, but as time went by, Xu Yunshu's feeling became more and more intense.

He was startled at first, but when he reached out to grab it, he caught a clump of mycelium.

Xu Yunshu was slightly stunned, he remembered that the doppelganger had been canceled by himself, how could there still be mycelium covering his body?

Could it be something in the swamp that followed him out?

Before he could speculate further, the clump of mycelium revealed its identity.

The mycelium hooked into the finger claws gradually condensed, forming a particularly familiar image of Xu Yunshu -

Queen!

The ant queen in front of me is completely different from the previous one.

In the past, the queen's entire body was composed of chitin, with a gelatinous interior and a transparent layer of keratin on the wings.

Now, that's all gone.

In front of Xu Yunshu is a queen ant composed of hyphae and a soft brown fungal substance.

Of course, it also has wings, which are slightly cloudy with brown wings, and they really don't look as beautiful as before, but Xu Yunshu can also realize that the sturdiness of these wings is better than the mycelial material.

Guo Xiaojie's queen ant has completely transformed into a fungal creature!

What's going on here?

In this strange swamp, Xu Yunshu has experienced countless strange things, and he can't find the answer to many things, but he has a faint answer to the one in front of him.

Now that Guo Xiaojie is fine, it's time to leave this place and return to a corner of the Dream Forest.

Xu Yunshu stuffed the fungus queen back into the hair on the back of her neck, slightly strengthened her limbs, and galloped in the opposite direction of the swamp.

He didn't know how far the swamp would spread, so he simply ran to the southern slope of the dream forest in one go, and then stopped.

In this place, you shouldn't have to worry about the weird fungal creatures.

Even if they are active, the first thing they have to catch is those predators located on the northern slope, and before those predators have suffered, it will not be Xu Yunshu's turn.

He turned his head to look in the direction of the swamp, and said to the queen ant in the fur, "Come out, find a place to hide, we must go back and talk." ”

On the fur on the back of Xu Yunshu's neck, there was a sound of flapping wings.

Compared with before, Guo Xiaojie, who had transformed into a fungal creature, flew up, and the sound of flapping her wings was much louder than before.

Xu Yun's book sent the ant queen to fly into the distance, and after disappearing from his sight, he let his consciousness return to the real world.

He wanted to know what happened to Guo Xiaojie.

The call was quickly connected.

After Guo Xiaojie got the instructions, she did so as soon as possible, hid the body of the queen ant, and immediately returned to the real world.

After greeting each other, Xu Yunshu couldn't wait to ask, "What's the condition of your queen ant body?" How did it change into a fungal organism? ”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, as if organizing the language.

A moment later, Guo Xiaojie's voice came out of the earpiece.

"I've been hiding from your escape clone, and I'm ready to use the rest of the colony to support you at any time."

Xu Yunshu did not respond, and continued to listen to Guo Xiaojie's narration.

"After that, you were going to take me with you to escape out of the hole, and after being captured by that strange thing, I was imprisoned with you."

Hearing this, Xu Yunshu was slightly stunned.

Based on what he had seen on Crystal Cluster Island, he had subconsciously believed that fungal creatures could only imprison a single predator.

It seems that he took it for granted.

Why, then, is it that after all these years, there is only one predator in each cage?

Now that we have deduced this point, the answer is obvious.

The nature of predators is to fight each other and plunder energy.

The interior of the fungal creature is like a colosseum, and only the last creature standing is eligible to be considered a prisoner.

"So when I became a fungal creature, you were also undergoing the same degree of transformation?"

However, Guo Xiaojie's words made Xu Yunshu's speculation fall through again.

"Also...... Sort of. ”

Sort of?

What is the answer to this?

Without waiting for Xu Yunshu to ask, Guo Xiaojie continued: "In fact, my body is completely fused with you, because your predation level is too high, and you directly fused the body of the queen ant into the body of the wolf and transformed it into a fungal creature together. ”

……

Xu Yunshu felt like he was being slapped in the face.

He analyzed so much earlier, and was told that the truth was not the case?

Fortunately, I don't have the habit of analyzing and revealing it.

He realized that there was indeed no sign of any other creature in his surroundings after the transformation of his body in the belly of the fungal creature.

If Guo Xiaojie turned into a fungal creature and escaped with his body, then only what she said was the most likely situation.

If it weren't for the fact that the clone could be dissolved by the power of potential, maybe the two of them would have to share the same body in the future.

However, even if Xu Yunshu guesses the details wrong, the final result can be controlled.

Then again, the fungal creatures of the swamp are just too weird.

Not only did he quickly transform his clone, but he also creatively fused the two creatures together, no wonder Xu Yunshu saw many xenomorphic creatures that were so strange that they couldn't be described when he saw those crushed predators.

Perhaps they are the product of the convergence of organisms of equal strength.

Regarding the matter of the swamp, there is only so much that Xu Yunshu can deduce for the time being.

There are many things that cannot be answered yet.

For example, what exactly are those crystal clusters?

What do they look like when they grow?

What's underneath those columns? Is it simply the ground?

These incomprehensible things, Xu Yunshu felt that it was better to put them aside for the time being.

He didn't want to be slapped in the face again, thinking about it for a long time, and only relying on his subjective consciousness to reach a conclusion, only to be turned out to be completely wrong, even though this kind of thing was known only to him.

However, among the inferences of many subjective factors, there is a conclusion that Xu Yunshu feels is no problem.

That is the peculiarity of marshlands and high mountains.

He vaguely felt that there was some strange connection between the two places.

They are simply too unique compared to other places.

Xu Yunshu called Guo Xiaojie, in addition to confirming Guo Xiaojie's experience in the swamp, he also wanted to confirm another thing.

"How are you doing now?"

That's the core.

The body of the queen ant has transformed from a normal state to a fungal form.

Xu Yunshu's doppelganger doesn't matter, he can abandon that doppelganger at any time, when the two doppelgangers merge into one, he will still be him, and there will be no trace of fungus on his body.

But Guo Xiaojie can't.

If her body is truly transformed into a fungus, will the huge difference in form make her abnormal?

For example, the immortal body at the cost of reincarnation becomes invalid, or is the fungal queen unable to continue to dominate the colony?

These things must be answered by Guo Xiaojie herself.

The Queen's wild instincts have the most say and authority on this.
