Chapter 1002: Mycelial Secrets
Crash!
The speed of the mycelium vines was faster than most of the legs and feet, and they had not even taken a few steps before they had caught up with them, and the group of people fortunately did not go far, and they all ran out of the porch before the mycelium caught up with them.
"Quick, close the door."
Yue Guanchao and Xu Xiake quickly closed the door of the corridor, and at the same time, the other craftsmen also pressed their bodies over, blocking the door panel that had been closed, and then Song Siyuan quickly fastened the chain to the door knocker, wrapped it around a few times to lock the lock, and after doing all this, everyone felt that they had run and collapsed, and sat on the ground and kept gasping for breath.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Behind the door panel, the mycelium vines kept hitting the door panel, but fortunately there was a chain to imprison the door knocker, and it never allowed these people to succeed, but the rumbling sound kept echoing, in the end, it still made people feel frightened, if they walked a few more distances, according to the speed of the mycelium, the chance of them escaping was almost zero.
"These myceliums won't break the door, will they?"
Yue Erpao looked back at the door panel, and the crack in the door would be knocked open from time to time, forming a narrow gap, and the mycelium could be seen sticking out of the door panel, constantly sniffing the breath of living creatures from the outside world.
Yue Guanchao said: "No, since the door panel is made of stone, the sturdiness can still be guaranteed, but this seems to be the only corridor to enter the Yongdao, we have to think about how to kill these mycelium, otherwise, we will never be able to enter the Yongdao." ”
What he said was true, the human dough mushrooms in the corridor in front of him had probably woken up, these things like flesh and blood, smelling the breath of living creatures means that they are already foraging, it is impossible for them to retreat easily, if they do not destroy these mycelium, they cannot proceed to the next step.
Xu Xiake wiped his sweat: "The key is, how to destroy these things, they will not die if they don't eat or drink for decades, at most they will dry up and wither, generally speaking, such a tolerant character, as long as they encounter the prey, they will not miss it, and they are bound to take down and replenish flesh and blood." ”
"What's more, we don't know what these things are, and we don't know how many they are, and if it's just an appetizer, we're afraid it's bad luck to enter the Yongdao."
The words of the little Taoist priest are indeed the current situation, the Yongdao alone is very dangerous, and when they cross the Yongdao and enter the belly of the mountain, what awaits them is probably something more terrifying, and the mountain cavity where the pupil god is located that day is destined not to be peaceful.
Song Siyuan took a sip of water, coughed a few times and said, "I have been thinking about it just now, what are these dough doughs, but now that I think about it, aren't these things the deformation of the mycelium flower tree?" It's just more aggressive, and it's actually just an extension of the Heavenly Pupil God. ”
"Extended organs?"
The crowd became curious about this statement.
Song Siyuan's face became serious: "Yes, along the way, what we have seen the most is the chimera of this kind of animals and plants, among them, all kinds of mycelial flowers and trees account for a large part, I always thought that these mycelial flowers and trees were dead, and they became like this after being attacked by the Heavenly Pupil God, which is a punishment for them." ”
"Now look." Song Siyuan's words changed: "It's not exactly what I thought, these animals and plants affected by giants become mycelial flowers and trees are not dead, but are manipulated by giants as puppets and become organs that extend to all corners of the giants. ”
"If you think about it this way, all animals and plants infected and affected by mycelium belong to the receptors of giants, and they are responsible for feeling the breath of the outside world, the environment, danger, foraging, hunting, communicating, and at the same time, extending the influence of giants to the smallest details."
Yue Guanchao was curious: "But why is it mycelium?" ”
Song Siyuan explained: "The history of mycelium production is longer than the evolutionary history of human beings, almost accompanied by the life span of the earth, which is the most primitive organism and the beginning of the evolution of all things, which also means that mycelium has strong adaptability and can parasitize on any animal and plant." ”
Speaking of this, she paused: "According to this logic, the appearance of human dough mushrooms in this corridor is not to punish the ghost people, but the giant needs the ghost people to appear in this corridor and turn into such low-level bloodthirsty creatures. ”
"To protect it?" Xu Xiake guessed.
Song Siyuan shook his head: "It doesn't need the protection of these dough dough dough dough, these dough dough dough are the giant's feeding organs, mainly for hunting and foraging, this corridor is equivalent to the giant's throat, and all the dough dough in it are considered teeth and digestive organs, if this is the case, we will also understand where they transport their flesh and blood." ”
After that, Song Siyuan picked up the torch and approached the mycelium that stretched out from the crack in the door, and after the flame burned, the mycelium withered instantly, as if it was burned and stretched into the crack of the door.
"It seems that it is useful to burn it with fire."
Yue Guanchao looked at the current situation and said: "It's really useful, but we can't open the door panel, this gap can't even put a torch in, and it can't burn much mycelium at all, if you open the door, you can't control it, this is really a dilemma." ”
The situation he said was indeed tricky, and everyone was at a loss at this time, Song Siyuan stared at the crack in the door for a moment, and immediately his eyes lit up: "If we can let the fire enter the crack in the door, as long as the fire inside can burn, with the help of the mycelial mucus inside, we can completely burn these dough dough." ”
Yue Guanchao shook his head and retorted: "Then this is not easy, even if you really throw the torch in, you can't throw it far." ”
"Maybe, I have a way." After that, Song Siyuan took out the hemp rope from the backpack and motioned for everyone to look at the ropes.
Yue Guanchao didn't know the situation, and asked: "Song Qianjin, you don't want to tie up all these mycelium, right?" ”
Song Siyuan knew that everyone didn't understand, and explained: "I mean, these ropes are very soft and can be stuffed into the crack of the door, as long as there is blood on them, if you want to open the mycelium, you will drag the rope into the crack of the door as a solid flesh and blood, if there is something flammable on the rope, is it that as long as we light the fire outside, we can introduce the flame into the corridor through the rope, so that we don't have to open the door panel and release the mycelium." ”
Yue Qingshan pondered her proposal and nodded: "This idea is feasible, it's always safer, but where does the fuel come from?" ”
With that, everyone looked at the pool next to the aisle.
Yue Guanchao said: "Lard and tung oil are both flammable, and the two are estimated to burn when mixed together, so if we soak the rope in these tung oil, maybe it will make it easier for the rope to slide in." ”
Song Siyuan nodded, threw the rope into the pool with Yue Guanchao, and kept stirring it with the sapper shovel in his hand until the rope was full of ointment and began to turn dark, and then pulled the rope out of the pool.
"With fuel, where will the bloody gas come from?"
Song Siyuan picked up the dagger and looked at Yue Guanchao, who was tall and tall, and with just one glance, he had already guessed what she meant, and hurriedly took a few steps back: "If you don't bring this style, and you don't say that it is the blood of the living, the blood of the dead is estimated to be useful, can these livestock still taste new or not?" ”
Song Siyuan waved her hand: "I'm just scaring you, the outside of that door panel is full of plasma, even if it's dry, it can be used." ”
Yue Guanchao comprehended, walked to the door panels, these door panels were full of dried bloodstains, I don't know how many layers have accumulated, just splash the water on the stone slab, the old blood stains have begun to soften, dripping scarlet blood water downward, he took advantage of the situation to pick up the rope and rub it around on the door panel, and soon used the rope to rub the bloodstains, the whole rope was fishy and unpleasant, greasy and abnormal.
After doing all this, Yue Guanchao was sent by the rope to the crack in the door, and the mycelium had already woken up because of the living thing, smelling the bloody gas and drilling out of the crack in the door like crazy, and directly dragging the rope head into the crack of the door.
The hemp rope had been soaked in ointment beforehand, and under the vigorous pull of the mycelium vines, it was easily sucked into the crack of the door, and it was constantly pulled deep, and the exposed hemp rope was visibly shortened by the naked eye.
Yue Guanchao immediately tied the rope to the pillar, and as the rope was completely pulled into the door crack, the originally bent and soft hemp rope was instantly tightened, because the end of the rope was tied to the pillar, no matter how the hyphae inside was pulled, it could not be pulled into half a minute, and the rope became tighter and tighter.
At this point, it means that the hemp rope has been tightened in the corridor, Yue Guanchao picked up the torch and lit the rope, as the torch approached the ointment, the hemp rope was instantly ignited by the ointment, and the oil ignited the flame, flowing directly down the rope into the crack of the door.
Bang!
Crash!
This hemp rope is full of ointment, which also means that the flames have burned from the rope into the corridor, in the confined space, every burning of the corridor is accompanied by a rumbling sound, emitting a rich black gas, at the same time, there is also a rich smell of burning flesh and blood wafting out of it, and even, you can hear the strange roar of the mycelium on these faces.
This sound is like a cat meowing in spring and a baby crying, and thousands of voices are superimposed on each other, oozing people's scalps numb.
It wasn't until half an hour later that the roar completely dissipated, and even the thick smoke continued to disperse until it disappeared completely.
Yue Guanchao pulled down the rope, the hemp rope had been burned like charcoal, only the section that exposed the crack in the door, he handed over the dagger full of blood, and he didn't see any mycelium sticking out for a long time, so he was sure that the human dough in the corridor was completely burned to death.
Song Siyuan opened the chain, and everyone pushed the door panel together, the smell inside was really unpleasant, as if it had been dead for decades, and it was ignited and roasted in an instant, without any aroma of meat at all, only the smell of burnt and the indescribable strange smell.
Even though the smell is very strange, the corridor is indeed much cleaner, and when they pushed and pulled the door panel just now, even the blood stains on the door panel were evaporated, which shows that the temperature of the corridor is so high, such a high temperature is enough to destroy all fungi.
They waited for the smell to dissipate a little and the temperature to drop before they planned to enter the corridor, and at the same time, they also learned a lot wiser, picked up the useless kettle, and stored a lot of ointment, so that even if they encountered these mycelium again, they could at least defend themselves.
After doing all this, the crowd walked through the porch again and into the corridor.
