Chapter 277: Exploring the Amazon
Hearing the wailing, Luke and Edel immediately probed their spiritual power, but found no trace of the enemy, only an ugly man who fell to the ground and wailed with his half-pulled ass.
"What's the situation?"
The other people didn't have extraordinary means, so they rushed over with guns in fear, and then saw this embarrassing scene.
"What is he?" Captain Quat looked back at Eder for help, a slight grumbling in his heart.
Didn't you say there was no danger?
Eder was also a little confused, obviously he had already driven away all the poisonous insects, but looking at Wally's appearance, it really looked like he had been bitten by some poisonous insects.
He looked around, found the leaves that had fallen to the ground, and then turned to look at the small tree.
Oh!
Got it.
He pointed to the tree and said, "It's a goldbark tree, a highly poisonous tree, and the whole tree is covered with small burrs like needles, and when you touch it, the small burrs will pass through the skin and release toxins." β
"I'm sorry, but I only thought about poisonous insects, but I didn't expect there to be a goldenbark tree here. He must have wiped his ass with the leaves of the goldbark tree."
"The feeling of being pricked by the stinger of the goldenbark tree is like being splashed with sulfuric acid, and at the same time being electrocuted, which can hurt people to death." There was a deep sympathy in Edel's eyes, "He's still anal"
"It's horrible."
Hearing Eder's words, his teammates, who had been leaning forward to pick up Wally, retreated like frightened quails, away from the area.
"Is he still saved?" Looking at his teammates who were struggling and wailing, almost dying in pain, Quite asked.
Wally's pleading eyes looked in pain.
"I'm from the Transformation School, so I don't know how to heal." Edel said distressedly.
It hurts, it hurts!
For a while, as the venom penetrated deep into his body, the effect became greater and greater, and he was completely unable to bear it.
Wally pulled out the pistol from his waist and aimed it at his head.
I have never experienced this kind of pain, and if I continue like this, it is better to die.
"Don't worry, you can still save it."
Luke used his telekinesis to control Wally's impulsive movement to cut himself off, and a holy light swung out of his hand and fell on Wally.
Wally, who had been healed by the Light, looked much soothed, but still in great pain. Yes, he had almost recovered from his injuries, but the pain of the burr piercing his body was still tormenting him.
Luke thought about it, and he had to start with the detoxification aspect.
The divine "poison" is activated, and through the contact of spiritual power, the fresh toxins on the golden bark tree on the side are analyzed and cracked.
If it were a typical biological laboratory, it could take months or even years for a cigarette to be analyzed from scratch for a real-world toxin. But in a world with supernatural powers, analyzing mundane toxins with "divinity" is simply a dimensionality reduction blow, and in a moment, this toxin is like a stripped little white sheep, showing all its characteristics in Luke's eyes.
From then on, Luke could directly produce this toxin that could hurt people to death with his "poisonous" divinity. This toxin attaches to the claws of the crows, and the "goldenbark toxin" adds the crows' ability to deepen their sense of pain.
Tut-tut, don't dare to think about it, the ten major tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty can't be compared, Luke can go directly to take Qing to be a waiter in the Criminal Department.
After seeing through the "Golden Bark Toxin", Luke can naturally also produce the corresponding antidote through the divine "poison".
Under the "Holy Light", Wally's situation has improved, so Luke is not too anxious, he casually pulled a leaf from a nearby tree, and used the divine "poison" to attach the ingredients to remove the goldenbark toxin to it, and handed it to Quart.
"This is the antidote, just apply it to the injured area."
Wally's injured position was a bit awkward, so he simply showed the antidote and asked his closest teammates to help him detoxify, Luke was not interested in the man's private parts.
After Quart's nose pinched Wally's detoxification, the episodes of the journey passed, and the awe of the already cautious armed team members of this vast primeval jungle deepened.
A tree can kill you, and how poisonous the poisonous insects that Eder drove away must be this painful way to die.
They are more careful along the way, and even any exposed parts of their bodies dare not come into contact with the animals and plants of the outside world, for fear of encountering some unknown toxin, and then end up like Wally.
After another three hours of travel, the group of seven came to a small river that was quite spacious, and after a little rest, Eder took a sip of the water from the stream, and said, "The next road is much easier, just follow this river all the way." β
Hearing this, Luke, who was already a little tired of the rainforest scenery, had an idea, and he stopped several people who wanted to continue the operation.
"Since you're going to walk along the river, it should be faster and more convenient to take the boat."
Wally, who was originally the most active of the five, was now wilted, and Medic Lodge responded, "Well said, then, where is the ship?" β
Luke turned his gaze to Eder.
"Do you mind if I cut down a few trees?"
"Of course I don't mind," said Eder, "unlike the fundamentalists, my sect is subordinate to the idea of equilibrium, and as long as it does not misuse the resources of nature, proper access is reasonable." After all, humans are also part of nature. β
With Edel's approval, Luke directly used his telekinesis to form a thin blade, cut off the three stout giant trees from the bottom, and then held them together in front of him with his telekinetic hand.
Knife-like telekinesis flew back and forth, cutting and digging them apart to shape a small boat.
After doing all this, he took out some undigested metal copper from the mirror world at random, and the "flame" divine power melted and shaped them, turning them into slender silk threads, which were automatically wound around the simple handmade boat, and the three big trees were firmly tied together, making the hull of the boat look much stronger and very trustworthy.
When the divinity of the flames dissipated, and after a while, the metal cooled and set, and a simple but barely able to be called a ship appeared in front of everyone.
Now, even Eder is a little envious.
"This is a wizard's method, and with the addition of the shaman and the holy light before you, your abilities are quite complicated. If nothing else, it's so convenient. β
He didn't hide his abilities, and continued: "In addition to transforming into wild animals, we Transfiguration Druids only have some simple ability to communicate with nature and animals, and it's okay to live alone in the jungle by yourself, with a few burdens-"
He suddenly thought that he was listening to the burden in his mouth, and quickly stopped halfway through his words, but the armed team had already heard it.
However, there is no human right to distribute.
As far as reality is concerned, the five of them are indeed a burden, so there is nothing to argue with. The other gods were silent, and they had to pretend that they didn't hear it.
Feeling the awkward atmosphere, Luke hurriedly came out to play the round: "It's not early, let's hurry up and try to get there before dark." β
After saying that, he directly used his mental power to lift the boat, put it smoothly into the river, and then imprisoned it in place to avoid leaving with the current.
With the steps down, Quaet hurriedly beckoned a few teammates to board the boat.
A small boat made of three big trees side by side is not a problem to accommodate five or six people, but with the addition of Eder, a strong man who is more than two meters like a bear, it is a little crowded.
However, Eder's actions in the jungle were originally like a fish in water, and the reason why the progress was so slow was to accommodate the armed team.
Luke had made this boat entirely to speed up the mortals.
So after some deliberation, it was finally decided that only the five members of the armed team would take the boat, and Eder would run along the riverbank, while Luke continued to fly over, helping the boat to balance and not capsize.
After getting on the boat, the speed of the group was much faster, and it took more than twenty minutes to walk farther than the previous hours, and for more than half an hour, after a few turns in the river, Eder, who was running fast, suddenly stopped.
"This is the neighborhood, let them come down."
Hearing this, Luke slowly braked the boat with his telekinesis, and several members of the armed team also disembarked in an orderly manner and came to the shore.
According to Eder's information, when they arrived, a dangerous situation was possible, and they also regained their vigilant and professional appearance when they first entered the jungle, and even put on their gas masks at Eder's suggestion.
After walking forward for a short while, Luke also sensed that something was wrong nearby.
The whole jungle they are in now is full of an abnormal feeling, every tree and flower around them is like a transcendent life, but in the ability to identify, there is nothing abnormal about them.
It's not that the identification ability is not good, but although they have undergone some abnormalities, the level is not enough and the level is too low, just like those items that contain some extraordinary energy, but have not yet become strange things, in the eyes of the identification ability, they are also ordinary items, and they will not be given a brief introduction.
Eder also warned with a solemn face: "The power of nature is very strong in this area, but I can't sense and communicate at all, the situation here is even more serious than half a month ago, you should be more careful." β
As the few people went deeper and deeper, the strange atmosphere around them gradually became thicker and thicker, and even some trees had been seriously deformed, and the canopies and branches above a dozen large trees grew together and merged into a single plant.
The canopy has merged, but what about the roots?
Luke curiously explored beneath the surface, but found that his spiritual power could not penetrate into the ground at all, as if he was blocked by something.
Under normal circumstances, although it is difficult for spiritual power to penetrate into a solid substance like the earth, it is not impossible to penetrate at all, and it is really rare to see such a thing as today.
He simply used his telekinesis to cut through the dirt and directly observe the condition of the roots of the trees.
Sure enough, the intertwined roots of the ground also completely merged, and these towering trees looked like their branches were still standing on their own, and many of them were not even of the same species, but they had actually become a whole tree.
Is this what spores do?
Luke cut off a small section of the roots, and found that it was a little ugly, with some bumps like small fungus, and there were no other common abnormalities such as blood and pus.
However, although nothing unusual was found, as Luke cut off the root of the tendril, as if something had been triggered, the atmosphere of the entire forest suddenly became manic in his mental perception, as if a monster might appear at any moment.
Eder also became serious, warning him: "Be vigilant! β
Then he raised his hands and expanded outward, his whole body continued to expand, and the black fur appeared, and in an instant, he changed from a strong man of about two meters to a black bear as tall as Yao Ming and several laps larger than O'Neill.
"Something's coming!"
As soon as the words fell, the trunks of the trees beside Luke and the others suddenly began to shake, and the branches stretched out like the claws of resurrected demons to grasp the seven people present.
At this time, in the field of vision of identification, these trees are no longer ordinary mortals, and suddenly have their message.
γGaia Spore Vectorγ
Plants polluted with Gaia spores, the silent spores are activated, and part of the will of the spore colony has descended.
γSkillsγ
[Spore Parasitism]: Gaia spores can parasitize on any life and transform them into carriers.
[Spore Fusion]: The carrier of Gaia spores, regardless of its form, is essentially composed of countless spores, and any other life form can be fused to itself through spore parasitism.
This is spore life?
It's really amazing.,I didn't know and thought it was some kind of dryad.γ
While I was thinking about it, the sound of "clicking" guns was already in my ears, and it was the sound of the armed team firing. In addition, Eder, who had turned into a giant bear, rushed towards a thick tree trunk, trying to break it.
The situation was not urgent, and Luke watched coldly for a moment.
Those branches are not very tough, and although they do not break in response to heavy fire, they can only take two more shots before they break and fall.
However, Luke was keenly aware that even the branches that had fallen to the ground were still active, and they would twist their bodies like snakes or maggots and crawl towards the people in the middle.
The more branches the five men knocked off, the more things wriggled on the ground.
Soon, they also found out about the situation, but if they stopped shooting, the thick branches would immediately approach and grab them, and for a moment, the team of five was in a dilemma.
Quat shouted for help: "Luke, do you have any good ideas?" β
There are good ways to do it, of course.
The "Fire" divinity glows at the base of the Ability Tree, and the "Lava" trait is activated.
The situation that is extremely dangerous for the armed team is just ordinary for him, and he still has the energy to laugh at this time.
Luke shouted to Eder, "It's not about destroying nature to set fire now." β
Edel had already pushed a thick trunk down, turned his head and gasped and replied, "Of course! β
"Boom"
The lava appeared from the bottom up, first slightly ashing the roots of the giant tree, then emerging from the surface and beginning to scorch the turbulent branches of the ground.
