"Want me?"

Stefan was a little confused.

He had always lived in this jungle, and all his knowledge and common sense came from Barend, so even if he heard that the gods needed him as a sacrifice, such terrifying words, he had no concept of fear at all.

Barende also knew the psychology of this good boy very well, so he didn't hide it, and told him the truth of the matter very bluntly, and by the way, let Luke, who was lying on the side, hear it clearly.

The woman Barende had mentioned earlier, Stefan's mother, was also a biologist.

She and Barende were studying biology in the Amazon jungle and stumbled upon a strange spores.

At the time, Stefan's mother was pregnant, and the two had planned to leave the city and return to the civilized city.

But when they discovered these fungi that can parasitize the bodies of animals, the professionalism of the scientists and the great temptation to win the Nobel Prize made them stay and immediately began to study these strange fungi.

Then the two of them were parasitized together.

However, at that time, the growth and parasitism of these sholes were still very slow, and they were also very hidden, until when the two were bathing, Barend found a fungus on the back of the other, and realized that humans could not avoid the parasitism of spores.

The first fungus was plucked out, but this was completely useless, and the spores had long since penetrated all over Stefan's mother's body.

The next day, more mushrooms and fungus grew on her body.

The two tried to get out of here, but they found that no matter how much they were afraid and how strong their desire to leave was, their bodies always chose to return after leaving a certain distance, completely uncontrolled by their will.

On the third day, the fungus grows larger and larger, even taking up a third of the body.

On the fourth day, the fungus completely covers half of the body.

On the fifth day, Barend's first small mushroom grows.

What happened after that, in short, in his mouth, Stefan's mother forcibly gave birth to him before he was full-term, and then completely parasitized by spores, turning him into a field of spores.

Subsequently, Barend's parasitic condition became more and more severe.

Just as he was about to be completely covered by the spores, a tree grew from the location of Stefan's mother's corpse, the stubby tree in front of Barende.

Barend could vaguely sense that his wife was in the midst of it.

It was also through this tree that he was able to alleviate the parasitism of the spores - by sacrificing blood food to the tree, he could obtain a strange "enoki mushroom" in that crevice.

As long as you eat some "enoki mushrooms", you can alleviate the symptoms of parasitism, and at the same time, you can also get a strange physique, as long as you eat those things that are parasitized, you can slowly improve your physical fitness.

Barend's early sacrifices were made with his own blood, and then, as his physical fitness grew, he began hunting animals, sacrificing to the mother tree, and feeding Stefan to grow.

Because when he was still an unformed embryo, he was already parasitized by spores, although Stefan was born prematurely, his body was still very healthy, and with that special "enoki mushroom", he survived in the primitive environment of the Amazon jungle under the care of this single father.

That's the story of Barende and Stefan's past.

Recently, with the resurgence of Gaia spores, the spores in Barend's body have become more and more agitated, and more and more special potions are needed, and the mother tree has become more and more demanding for sacrifices.

In the past month, Barend had captured more than a dozen primitive tribes of humans, and he was able to barely keep himself and Stefan sane under the parasitism of Gaia spores.

However, now the mother tree is no longer interested in ordinary blood food.

Although not subjective, it instinctively sensed Stefan's presence, and realized that this blood relative of his own would be of great benefit to his own growth.

As a result, the increasingly fastidious Mother Tree issued a command to the only human slave who could communicate in the slightest - to sacrifice Stefan.

In front of the Gaia Spore Mother Tree, Barende beckoned to Stefan.

"Come, child, the doors of the new world are open for you, and you can go to the world of God and accompany your mother."

Stefan walked over quietly and knelt on the ground as his father had instructed. Barend, on the other hand, stood up and untied a crude hand axe from his belt.

The so-called sacrifice, of course, is to cut off the head first and then bury it.

Luke, who was lying on the side pretending to be dizzy, finally moved, after all, Stefan's kid was quite simple, and he was barely a friend that Luke had just met.

And Luke's goal of finding the truth has been achieved, and it is really not his style to watch him die like this.

The telekinesis moved slightly, and in addition to the body protection qi shield, it was divided into two strands.

A force imprisoned Barende's body, immobilizing him.

The other dragged Stefan up from the tree and told him to get out of the treacherous place.

Luke stood up and said in the surprised and puzzled eyes of the two, "Although I am not interested in the family ethics drama between you, these spores are too harmful to humans to stay. ”

After listening to his words, Barend, who was still surprised why Luke woke up early, began to struggle violently, as if he wanted to protect his "god". But the flesh that had been strengthened by a few spores, trying to break free from the spiritual power of the peak of the model was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and he couldn't even blink an eye.

Luke set him aside and began to observe the dwarf tree with his discerning powers.

Gaia Spore Aggregate / (Abyssal Influenced)

The Gaia Spore is based on the matrilineal intelligent life, and the aggregate life form is born, which is the collection of the collective consciousness of all Gaia Spores and is the mother tree of the Gaia Spore. Affected by the Abyss Lord's Fungal Lady Zugmoi, he is rapidly awakening and mutating.

【Skills】

[Spore Reproduction]: [Gaia Spore Aggregate] can actively reproduce and spread spores, and the more nutrients it gets, the more spores it can reproduce.

[Spore Manipulation]: [Gaia Spore Aggregate] can apply simple commands to lifeforms parasitized by spores.

[Spore Domain]: [Gaia Spore Aggregate] can create a realm filled with the power of nature and fungal magic by releasing a large number of spores, combined with the energy brought by the influence of the Abyss.

How come there is an abyss everywhere?

And didn't that old man of God already set up defenses outside the world wall before he was reincarnated? When entering this world from the abyss before, the holy light barrier was very sensitive to all the power of the abyss, and the spider god queen and six fingers could only send some mercenaries in.

How did the Lady Fungus infiltrate this world?

Luke's mind was spinning quickly, could it be that there was a hole in the defense line, or it was directly pushed down?

Thinking that he, the lord with an abyss account, can also come back, the barrier is not a human after all, maybe there is a bug there, and it is normal to be used by the abyss lord with great powers.

Hey, I originally thought that the abyss invasion had come to an end, but I didn't expect a wave of unevenness and another wave.

For the sake of this world, I really broke my heart.

This world will be cold sooner or later without me.

Luke retracted his thoughts that had diverged into the abyss, and the most important thing for now was to deal with the Gaia spores, and it was best to add some nutrients to his mirror world.

His spiritual coercion condensed into substance, stabbing into Barend's brain, and the fragile soul of a mortal could not withstand the pressure of this level at all, and fainted in an instant.

Under Stefan's gaze, Luke pulled out some tough ropes from the world of the mirror and tied Barende firmly.

Stefan is also quite interesting, although he knows that Luke is probably doing something bad to his father, but with his life experience, he doesn't know how to stop it, and he doesn't know what to do.

After all, he is accustomed to following arrangements and commands, and it is really the moment when his father loses consciousness and needs to exert his own subjective initiative, but he doesn't know what to do.

Affected by Luke's spirit, Barend didn't want to wake up for at least a few hours. Moreover, even if he woke up, the rope tied to his body was specially requested by Luke from the Waldberg logistics department to bind the special rope that bound the physically powerful transcendents, and it was bound according to a special method, and it was completely impossible for the power below the hero rank to break free.

Luke looked at Stefan and said casually, "Carry your father back, this is not the place for you to stay any longer." ”

According to common sense, the Stefan family and Luke are now hostile, and it is impossible for him to listen to Luke. But apart from Barend, Luke was the only human he had ever communicated, and in his heart he had already regarded Luke as a friend, and what had just happened was a bit beyond his comprehension.

Therefore, Stefan, who was at a loss, really followed what Luke said, carried Barende on his back, and prepared to leave.

Even having just put Barende on his back, after turning around, he glanced back at Luke and asked, "When are you going home?" ”

Yes?

With Luke's soul strength, he was stunned for a moment.

This. That's your home! Not my home!

You're too familiar, kid!

But before Luke finished complaining, some changes took place in the outside world.

There was a sound of rustling, and the parasites that Luke had seen on the road before, and even a few humans who were completely parasitized by spores, rushed from all directions.

Luke sensed the strong malice, not coming at him.

The goal is - Stefan!

Well, it seems that Barende's sacrifice was not obtained, and the spore mother tree, which had already begun to have wisdom, chose to do it herself.

Luke shouted, "Hey! Stefan! run！ ”

"These monsters are coming at you!"

After all, Stefan was eroded by Gaia spores in his mother's womb, and his physical fitness was better than that of ordinary people, and even better than these animals parasitized by spores.

Now Luke has two options.

One, follow along, and then kill the monsters that Stefan has attracted and harvest some spore corpses.

Second, directly fuck the mother's mother tree, surround Wei to save Zhao, and lure those monsters back.

Don't say it, this mother tree is really Stefan's mother, at least it has something to do with his mother.

As a standard kicker, a player who always skips the plot when playing games, Luke doesn't have that much of the heart to play house games with Stefan.

Therefore, he directly summoned a raging flame, causing them to fall from the sky and smash straight towards the sturdy mother tree like a meteor.

As for why not eradicate lava?

The dryad who chased Stefan on long legs like a giant centipede is a lesson from the past.

Who knows if this mother tree will also rise from the ground after it is eradicated, and the girl will run away.

An enemy that is fixed in place, or an enemy that can run around, which is easy to clean up, you can think of it with the nails of your little toes.

The flame meteor fell, and the mother tree also had its own unique sensory organs, and it was already aware of the meteor as soon as it was halfway down.

The fear of the flames and the desire to survive caused it to send out violent fluctuations of extraordinary energy, and in an instant, the parasites that were chasing Stefan returned one after another, led by the tallest spore dryad, blocking the flames from the sky for it.

At the same time, a large number of spores residing in the body are spit out, and those spores rotate back and forth around a fixed trajectory, and a small amount of natural force escapes one after another.

The force of nature emitted by a single spor is very small, but the force of nature emitted by tens of billions of spores at the same time is like a large tsunami, enough to set off a natural storm that sweeps through the entire jungle.

Now the storm is restrained by the spore mother tree, constantly reinforcing and combining with itself, forming a dark green semicircular shield, which is the spore tree's strongest ability, the spore field.

More and more spore parasites are summoned by the mother tree, and most of them surround the mother tree, guarding it safely, providing more energy to the spore field, while also being strengthened by the field and becoming more tenacious.

A small number of spore parasites began to rush at Luke, attacking him.

In the blink of an eye, the meteor had fallen.

The massive mass of fire sank into the dark green spore field, and the speed of its descent became unusually slow.

After a violent crackling sound of water droplets falling into the scorching grease and setting off a large number of sparks, it was gradually engulfed by the spore field, and did not achieve much success.

Instead, around Luke, under his will, a ring of flames centered around his body and violently expanded outward, causing all the attacking parasites to fall into the flames, and their limbs were burned in the flames, and a large number of spores were scattered like blood, and then they were also burned to ashes by the flames.

It's a bit of a waste, it's all the force of nature production machine that Luke has in mind.

However, look at the mother spore tree and the thick layer of guards around it.

Those are also sufficient.
