Although the roots have been completely destroyed by the magma, after being parasitized by spores, the life forms of these trees have been transformed, and after losing their roots, they are no longer bound by the earth and earth, just like the imprisoned earth binding spirits suddenly moved, and the thick trunks of the trees were like the feet of a polyarthropod, pulling out of the ground and stepping on the people in the woods.

Edel should not have reached the exemplary level, although he was very brave enough to break a tree trunk, but in the face of the activated "arthropod dryad", his best giant bear transformation had no choice but to turn around and come to the armed team, rushing left and right, helping them block the nearest branch.

As the tree became more and more activated, Luke sensed something smaller than dust beginning to emanate from various parts of the tree.

Dusty things floated out of every branch, and more leaked from the broken branches, as if they were bleeding.

This is the spores?

These spores filled the air in an instant, and with the air flow driven by the strong wind, they directly enveloped all the people present.

The moment the spores appeared, Luke vigilantly used his telekinesis to isolate himself from the outside environment, so that they could only wriggle inward around the telekinetic shield, but could not be saved.

But the others didn't have the keen perception and quick reflexes of Luke, and although the five-man team was heavily armed, the subtle and rudimentary spores still entered their bodies directly through the gaps between their clothes and even the breathing valves of their gas masks.

Including Edel, there are also a large number of spores directly parasitic on the fur of the black bear he incarnates.

It's broken, it's gone!

Luke summoned a large amount of flames out of thin air, and while skillfully bypassing his teammates, he exploded in the center of his circle, incinerating all the spores in the air.

Without waiting for the furious spore dryad to attack, he directly used his telekinesis to roll up six people, including Edel, into the sky, and the flames scorched to open a wide path, and Luke left this strange jungle directly in the direction he came.

After feeling out of the eerie jungle, Luke felt a little relieved and fell to the ground.

At this time, Edel also sensed a slight abnormality in his body, and when he returned to the ground, he curled up and transformed from a grizzly bear form to an elk, and a burst of green light flashed on the antlers, swimming around him.

A moment later, two Ganoderma lucidum-like plants grew on the pair of hard antlers.

The elk's forelimbs stand upright, and they smoothly transform into a human form, revealing Eder's appearance.

He frowned and said, "My forces of nature are polluted. ”

With that, he coughed heavily, and spat out two enoki-like mushrooms from his throat.

"I tried to treat myself in elk form, but instead I was directly activating the polluted spores. What they possess is obviously also a force of nature, why is it so corrosive. ”

Hearing his words, the five people who had not appeared abnormal on their bodies for the time being suddenly became uncomfortable, and they always felt as if there were ants crawling on their bodies, and they were very itchy, especially on their backs that they couldn't touch, and they always wanted to scratch them.

Luke observed their movements and said, "Don't worry, you're okay for now. ”

Without waiting for a few people to ask, he turned to Eder and said, "If you don't have a better way, maybe I can check it out for you." ”

After a series of experiences just now, Eder also knew that Luke's strength was above him, and he didn't have any clue in the face of this strange and strange force of nature at this time, so he nodded and agreed to Luke's proposal.

Luke first glanced at Eder with identification, and found that there were no other anomalies except for [Human/Druid] (spore parasitism), and the identification status only made it clear to him that Eder was indeed parasitized by spores, and the rest needed to be explored by himself.

Edel stretched out his hand very cooperatively, and there was a gray-yellow mushroom growing on it, which looked like it had just grown, and it didn't even fully open the canopy of the umbrella, and it looked weak.

But the thought that it could take root and parasitize on the body of a transcendent druid, drawing nourishment from his body to grow, no one could really think that it was harmless to this animal.

Perhaps it is the cause of the parasitic awakening, and this identification ability also gives information about some of the spores.

【Gaia Spore】

The most primitive spore life, one of the first beings to give birth to the force of nature, has the foundation for the birth of the primordial force of nature.

【Skills】

[Parasitism]: Through contact, Gaia spores can parasitize almost any life.

As soon as the results appeared, the ability tree suddenly sent another message to Luke-

This kind of spore is very good for the growth of the mirror world, and after killing the primordial spiritual will in it, it can slowly make the mirror world give birth to the power of nature and promote the growth of the world.

Well.

Translated into human ways, it is estimated that the primitive natural power produced by this spores is equivalent to the AD and DHA given to newborns, which can effectively promote the healthy development of the new world.

Unexpected surprise!

Originally, I just wanted to gain some experience, but I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain now.

Luke looked at the little mushroom and suddenly felt that it had become cute.

However, the hint of the ability tree is that the primordial spiritual will in the spores needs to be killed, which is probably the group will that activated the spore dryad before.

His right index finger gently touched the newborn little mushroom, and secretly said in his heart, this treasure should be destined for me, and it must be put under my door.

"I feel like it's absorbing my life force, but I can't stop it, it seems to have become one with me and a part of me," Edel muffled. ”

Luke didn't have much knowledge of the forces of nature, and he didn't have any divinity to do so, so he had to try other ways.

Since it is necessary to heal, then try the Holy Light first.

It's a pity that the Holy Light, which was originally very effective against Wally's buttocks, has no effect on this little mushroom at the moment, of course, Luke only used the healing power in the Holy Light, and did not attack it.

It seems that Edel is right, this mushroom is already a part of his body, and although it is very evil, it is not a dark creature after all, and it is not within the scope of the Holy Light's restraint, and "healing" cannot separate this mushroom from him.

Well, the only way to do it is to do it hurtfully.

Luke withdrew the light, lit a blazing flame with his fingertips, and said to Eder, "The cure doesn't work, why don't you try the fire?" ”

As a giant bear druid, Eder was also affected by some beasts on the spiritual plane, and when he saw the flickering flames, he instinctively shrank back, but he controlled himself with the will of a human.

It is not only the arms that have mushrooms on his body, but also the mushrooms poking out on his chest, back, thighs and other parts. Feeling the vitality in his body slowly but firmly absorbed by those fungi, he had no choice but to believe in Luke and let him experiment.

The flame in Luke's hand slowly approached the small mushroom.

As the temperature rises, the grayish-yellow and tender umbrella surface of the small mushroom begins to dry up, and the gray-yellow color also turns earthy yellow. At the same time, Eder's expression grew more and more painful, as if the fire was scorching his flesh.

He endured the burning pain in his arm and watched the changes in the little mushroom.

As the mushroom was about to dry up, the roots that pierced his body suddenly began to burst out with a strong attraction, drawing his life force and transcendent energy together, extending his own life against the flames.

"No, don't continue! Stop! ”

Edel's arm shrank back, away from the flame on Luke's fingertips.

"This mushroom will absorb my life force and heal itself, I can feel it, it is connected to my flesh, even if it is removed, those roots that go deep into the veins will also absorb my flesh and grow back."

Hiss.

I'm in trouble.

It is worthy of the transcendent world, the older it is, the more powerful and weird it is.

This Gaia spore seems to be incomprehensible, as long as it is parasitized, basically the person will be wasted, and can only slowly wait for the spores on the body to absorb their own life force, gradually grow, and then become a spore person.

The flames are ineffective, but what about the others?

Luke tried all the methods he currently mastered, thunder, toxins, shadows and other means in turn, making it like a parade of extraordinary abilities.

But none of these abilities did much other than aggravate Eder's injuries.

"Trouble," Luke asked worriedly, "how did you get out of here safely?" ”

Edel said depressedly: "When I left before, there weren't so many abnormalities in this part of the area, but the atmosphere was a little weird." ”

Co-authored it was my hand that woke them up.

Although the Quart on the side had not yet grown mushrooms on their bodies, looking at the tragic situation of the druid, their minds involuntarily appeared what they would look like in the future.

The druid is an extraordinary being, and he can withstand sucking, but he will not be sucked dry by the mushroom in two or three clicks, and then become a fungus growth and breeding base.

Thinking of this, the five of them all looked like mourners, but Wally, who had just fallen into silence, opened directly.

"I said, Boss, and brothers, we were in danger of this before we came, didn't we? Now it's just that those ideas are about to come true, anyway, the company will give a full pension, what are you afraid of, aren't we still alive now? ”

"Maybe after returning to the company, there is a way to save it, anyway, we got the specimen that the company wants - it's in our body."

He smiled and said, "I can't see it yet, but maybe put us in the greenhouse, water us a little more, and those little mushrooms will grow, just like this Master Edel is now." ”

After a bit of gag, the spirits of several people were a little more lifted, and at this time Luke also thought of a method that he hadn't tried yet.

He stretched out his hand, and the "Wanhua Mirror" emerged from the void, and several [Radiant Crows] flew out of it.

"I have a more radical approach here, maybe I can try."

"Radical?" Eder was a little confused, wasn't the fire and lightning strike just now radical?

However, the more he fought against the spore-forming fungus, the more desperate he became, and the force of nature that he could control was completely ineffective against the little mushroom, just like Mussolini's Italy, who had worked hard to raise a large wave of troops, and as a result, he had just come into contact with the enemy, and surrendered without firing a shot, and fully integrated with the enemy, and would build a prisoner of war camp for himself.

Who doesn't vomit blood when this happens.

In desperation, Eder agrees to Luke's offer again.

After receiving authorization, a [Radiant Crow] fell into Luke's hand, and Luke directly put his consciousness into the crow with the "Crow" divinity, carefully controlling it, releasing its power little by little, releasing a thin "radiant ray" and shining it on the small mushroom on Edel's arm.

Extraordinary nuclear radiation!

The power of the ultimate creation of human weapons combined with extraordinary power, and the aura of death and decay accompanied by a brilliant green light enveloped the entire small mushroom.

The little mushroom could not even absorb nutrients from Edel's body under the radiation energy, and began to rot visibly to the naked eye, and then the roots also rotted and broke, and the whole fungus contracted and fell from his arm.

It's done!

Edel's face was overjoyed, and Luke used his telekinesis to catch the small mushroom that had fallen and check it.

【Dead Gaia Spore】

Gaia spore larvae killed by excessive radiation.

【Skills】

not

After the identification is completed, a message also comes from the Ability Tree, and this dead spores can also be put into the mirror world, and they can be reborn in the "earth" element, turning into a primordial spores with the characteristics of the "mirror world", and then producing the power of nature.

Good stuff.

Luke immediately collected the spores into the mirror world and buried them deep underground, allowing the massive "earth" element to wrap it tightly. After doing all this, he looked at Eder with burning eyes, where are the spores on his body, this is obviously a priceless treasure.

Edel was also very happy to see the method in effect, and looked over and over at the place where the mushroom used to grow on his arm, but now only a shallow scar remained.

He looked up and was about to thank Luke when he made eye contact with him.

Looking at Lukena's burning eyes as if he had discovered some rare treasure, he shivered directly.

"That. I'll pay for the treatment. ”

"No, after all, I brought those dryads here." Luke said enthusiastically.

For him, the remains of these little mushrooms were already the most precious cost of treatment.

"Forget it, you're working so hard, let's pay."

Eder felt a chill in his heart, the free one is the most expensive, look at Luke's eyes, and don't pay for the consultation, he shouldn't want me to pay for it.

I heard that people in a certain circle like beards and slightly fat strong men, but if it's bad, it's bad, no, you have to pay!

Otherwise, I'm afraid that the evening will not be guaranteed.
