Chapter 282: The Harvest of Mushrooms and the Outside World
In the cell realm, the parasites led by the spore dryad were tightly encircled, and together they unleashed a strange dark green force of nature, intercepting Luke's several lightning bolts and flames.
In addition, Luke is greedy for other people's bodies, and he is somewhat afraid of throwing rats, fearing that too violent attacks will directly destroy their corpses, so that his plan to replenish the world in the mirror will be ruined.
Although this idea is a bit like opening champagne at half-time, it is really a bit contemptuous of the opponent. But the spore mother tree couldn't run, and the attack was all dependent on those waste golems, and the infected spores released were all blocked by a layer of flames and a layer of telekinesis around Luke's body.
There is simply no means to use the "spore field" to defend at all.
This opponent, Luke's only trouble, is how to make it a whole corpse.
Since none of these methods have any effect, it really depends on the crows. Unexpectedly, all along, because of Luke's strength, the crow, who had not even been supported for a long time, has now become the main force of output.
All 9 [Radiant Crows] flew out, forming a semicircle near Luke, and fluorescent green radiant rays shone out of their bodies, converging into a dazzling green point of light on the outer shield of the "Spore Field" at a tacit angle, corroding the force of nature above.
The nature of this radiation power obtained from the [mutated highly enriched uranium crystal] found in the nuclear test base is very peculiar, especially very restrained by the force of nature, facing the force of nature is like a father beating his son.
Although the life essence and energy level of the crows are not high, and they are far less than even the spore mother tree, they cannot stand the attribute restraint.
Like a kitten carrying a bottle that can catch and kill a mouse larger than its own body, the power of these radial rays only pauses for a moment before breaking through the shield and piercing into the realm.
The spores that were like plankton wandering around the field were dying in patches under the strong irradiation of the radiant rays, and hundreds of thousands of spores were destroyed by the radiation energy every second.
However, the spores, which have not been transformed into fungal organisms, will only wither into dust and will not become usable remains even if they are killed by radiation.
The radiant rays continued to move forward, killing countless spores until they were blocked by the pliable skin of a leopard.
The spores attached to the entity were much more resistant, and the radiant rays irradiated for nearly half a minute before the leopard lost its mobility due to the collapse and dissolution of the spores in its body and fell to the ground.
Soon, however, the mother spore tree, having discovered the knack of resistance, directed more parasites to get in the way of the rays, allowing them to be hindered by layers of fur and flesh.
The energy rays decayed layer by layer under the blockage of the entity's flesh, and eventually lost most of their energy and became weak before they could pass through the obstacle and reach the mother spore tree.
The parasites in front of them fell one after another, but there were only 9 [Radiant Crows], and there were hundreds of parasites, and with the addition of [Spore Domain], they were exhausted to death, and all their flesh and blood were converted into radiant rays, and there was no way to kill all these creatures.
But with high-intensity energy such as "thunder" and "fire", Luke is really reluctant to make this huge gain.
After thinking about it for a while, he finally decided to take out the two big killing weapons that had been stored for a long time.
ใRadiant Ravenใ
Although the name is only one word different from [Radiant Raven], this thing is a hundred times more dangerous than Radiant Raven.
Since the first mutation, these two [Radiation Crows] have been absorbing radiation power near the [Mutated Highly Enriched Uranium Crystal], and compressing and converging all of them in their bodies.
For so long, those radiation forces have converged to a very terrifying level, according to Luke's perception, they exploded on their own, although the power of the explosion was far less than that of a nuclear bomb, but the subsequent radiation contamination was also far beyond it.
Luke manipulated the two distorted and indiscernible Radiant Crows, lifted them up with telekinesis, and released the two Ravens along the portal opened by the Radiant Ravens with their rays.
At the same time, Luke mobilized the divinity of the "Crows" to maximize the potential of the nine [Radiant Crows] themselves, and maximized the power of the Radiant Rays.
In a short period of time, layer after layer of parasites were killed, and as Gaia's spores died, they corrupted into blood and flesh, giving way to the core, and the [Radiant Crow] continued to move forward with this passage.
At this time, the distance between the [Radiant Crow] and the spore mother tree was less than ten meters.
With the Radiant Power energized to its fullest, the "Raven" Divinity has already exploited the full potential of the nine [Radiant Crows], and has already begun, and can no longer provide more power.
It's about 3 meters away.
The power of the radiant rays had begun to wane, and the parasites, led by the centipede-like dryad, began to push outward.
This distance, enough.
The core circle of [Radiant Crow] self-detonation is more than five meters, which is already possible.
At Luke's behalf, the two rad crows began to glow dangerously unstable, glowing green dots.
Luke thought about it for a moment, and flashed to the side, after all, this radiation is not as controllable as the radiant ray, once it explodes, it does not recognize its owner.
Luke withdrew nine [Radiant Crows] and dodged through the reserved mirror to a hundred meters away, observing the movement of the battlefield with his mental power.
As Luke exited, the radiant rays disappeared instantly, and the channels opened by the rays began to recover immediately under the power of the "Spore Field".
However, before that, the two [Radraves] had already received Luke's complete instructions - explode!
Explosion is art!
Art is โ explosion!
There was no violent fire, no earth-shattering sound, and the explosion of the [Radiant Crow] left the world with a miserable green glow.
This green light blooms in the "spore field", dyeing the dark green field into emerald green, making it fresh and beautiful.
Creatures throughout the realm have similarly turned emerald green.
Radiation!
The Radiant Raven absorbs an endless amount of radiation over hundreds of days and nights.
Released in less than a second.
The stained "spore field" struggled to maintain for less than three seconds before it lost its strength and immediately disintegrated.
After the green fluorescence broke free, it expanded outward for more than thirty meters, and then it decayed.
At this time, the power tree in Luke's body became extremely active, and the branches and leaves swaggered to absorb all the experience points left by these creatures after death. Destroying hundreds of monsters at once, although the strength of each one is very low, but it can't stand up to the large number, and it is enough to increase Luke's experience by 77.7% in one breath.
Current experience, level 18 (86.7%).
At this time, the most intense moment of the radiation explosion has passed, and the transcendent radiation has changed from turbulent to quiet, and with Luke's physical fitness and the protection of the shield of the age strength, he can already stay in the radiation area safely for a while.
He summoned the Radiant Raven and flew with him to the Radiation Zone.
In this environment, these birds are like fish in water, and their demeanor, which was forcibly prompted by divinity and became extremely sluggish, has also begun to gradually recover at this time, as if they are absorbing the radiation residue here to replenish their own deficit.
All the parasites, including the mother spore tree, have all died.
The death of these creatures follows the same process, with the flesh and fur of the spore fungus decaying and melting, leaving only the corpses of the spore fungi in their place.
Great harvest!
As he walked, Luke used his telekinesis to pick up the [Dead Gaia Spore] in the thick of the filth and put them in the mirror world.
As he gradually moved forward, a large number of spore corpses were picked up, and in less than two minutes, more than two thousand various mushrooms and lingzhi were picked up by him.
Then, Luke finally came to the original core of the Spore Field, the area where the spore mother tree was located.
Unlike the other parasites, the mother tree is composed entirely of fungi formed by Gaia spores, so it does not dissolve any pus, and is itself a complete [dead Gaia spores].
That's the biggest takeaway of the day!
Looking at the information that had been cleared in the identification ability, Luke was sure that the mother tree was dead. With a movement of his mind, all the remaining spore corpses in the vicinity were collected.
The rest is the mother tree.
Luke's telekinesis formed a thin, broad blade, which began to dig two or three meters below the main trunk of the mother tree, and continued to expand outward when it encountered the roots, and finally, in addition to the trunk above, a large ball of earth with a diameter of ten meters was dug out.
That's the whole body of this mother tree.
Without further ado, Luke directly collected this large lump of [Dead Gaia Spore] into the mirror world.
The unexpected happened.
Perhaps it was because all the spores were propagated by this mother tree, and as soon as the corpse of the mother tree entered the mirror world, the spores that had been resurrected and were spewing out the power of nature were directly attracted to it as if they had been stimulated by something.
Luke didn't perceive the danger, so he watched from the sidelines, waiting for the next change.
The body of the giant Gaia spores, under the "paste" of hundreds of resurrected spores, actually began to regain its vitality little by little, and the resurrection process was quickly accelerated by those spores.
Good thing.
The Gaia Spores who are resurrected in the mirror world will all become Luke's diligent employees and contribute to the growth of the mirror world.
Seeing the development of the situation, Luke relieved himself, pulled some large trees on the periphery with his telekinesis, fenced the place, and drew several large skull symbols around it to indicate danger, and then left the place.
Although there is still a lot of radiation residue, this place is already inaccessible, and with the recent spore outburst, there are basically no humans except for Stefan's father and son.
Coupled with the fact that Luke has set up such an obvious sign, if any more young people who have died have to come in, it can only be said that they are good to die.
With that done, Luke flew as fast as he could, and in just a few minutes, he was back at Stefan's humble hunter's hut.
Entering the room, Luke noticed that Stefan was in a bad state, and his body began to grow a large number of mushrooms.
Only half of the face that had been handsome was now left, and the other half of the face had been completely covered by a white mushroom canopy. The exposed body is already full of mushrooms of various colors and forms, fungus, ganoderma lucidum, and even some white mold-like substances, forming a web in the middle of the mushrooms.
On the bed next to him, Barende, who was still unconscious, was also in a worse state, and the mushrooms grew more intensively.
Luke hurriedly approached, observing the parasites.
Unlike the druids and the five-man armed group that had been rescued before, Stefan and Barende had so many mushrooms in their bodies that they were more like the main parts of their bodies than flesh and blood.
During the years of symbiosis with Gaia spores, although they were able to preserve their human form and consciousness with the help of the power of the mother spore, the spores did not leave their bodies, but only temporarily fell silent.
Now that the mother spore trees have been wiped out, the power that sustains them in human form has also disappeared, and the numerous spores in their bodies that have been suppressed for many years have naturally begun to multiply and grow uncontrollably.
Seeing Luke arrive, Stefan smiled, "Did you kill the gods?" โ
Luke nodded: "yes, I just didn't expect it to have such a big impact on you." โ
He came closer, looked closer, and then frowned and said, "It's hard for you to survive, and there's nothing I can do." โ
Stefan waved his hand with difficulty: "No need, Luke, don't bother." I thought it would be good, and my father said that we could go to see my mother, and our family could be reunited. โ
This child looks like a fool in some places, but in the face of life and death, he is open-minded like a wise man.
"These spores are inseparable from my body, and I can feel them, they are burning my life. Without God, they have no power to grow, and soon, after burning me out, they will also die. โ
Stefan turned his head to look at his father.
"He, too, might die in a deep sleep, a good choice."
Although he lacks common sense, his long-term experience of hunting in the jungle has given him a fairly complete understanding of death.
"Can you tell me about the outside? My father never told me about the outside, he only let me stay in God's territory with peace of mind. Stefan's voice was a little faint now.
"Okay."
Seeing that Stefan had accepted his fate peacefully, Luke began to speak softly.
"A few hundred kilometers southwest of here, there is a city called Manaus, which has more than two million people, and people have cut down the forests and built 100-meter-high buildings on the land, and people live in it."
"A hundred meters high? It's taller than most of the trees here. โ
"Yes, people generally travel by car, which is a four-wheeled machine that burns gasoline for power."
"Wheels! I know that I once helped my father make a trolley, and I"
Looking at Stefan, who had been overgrown with mushrooms and lost his life, Luke was silent for a moment, and threw off a cloud of flames that consumed him and Barende together. (End of chapter)
