Chapter 62: The Fungus Master (Seeking Follow~)
Because of the pursuit of the fastest killing speed, Leon is completely using the method of exchanging injuries for injuries to deal with the lion man.
He sucked too much blood to digest, causing him to gain weight all over.
The skin on his body was full of cracks, and blood was constantly oozing out.
Dizziness, numbness in the limbs, a tumbling stomach and a strong feeling of vomiting.
Fortunately, these costs were not paid in vain, and before there was a big commotion, the lion man, who could not squeeze out a drop of blood, fell to the ground weakly, and his body slowly turned gray and white, accompanied by a tendency to crystallize.
This is basically the case after death of infected people who carry mold in their bodies, such as Sadler.
If Leon accidentally dies one day, it will be more or less the same.
Time was pressing, and he didn't have time to observe the miraculous changes in the corpse, so he jumped out of the pit and ran wildly into the depths of the cave.
The death of the lion man will definitely be sensed by Miranda, and every second will be precious.
The rest of the road had a downward slope trend, which invisibly helped Li Ang, and after running for dozens of meters, the smell of corruption in the air became stronger and stronger, and there was light coming in.
At the same time, he had passed through the cave and came to a place that looked like the bottom of a mountain cliff, and he could look up at the sky above.
And in the middle of the cliffs on both sides, there is a pink translucent creature sandwiched.
It resembles a heart, a half-developed human embryo, and can clearly distinguish limbs from the head, but has no precise facial features. The surface of the body has a jade-like brilliance, but it is not flat, and the pimples are a bunch of growths. There are several umbilical cord-like tubes on the back that connect to the cliff wall, some of which have weathered and hardened to support the body, while others are more pink and tender, delivering nutrients to the body for growth.
Its body is very large, estimated to be tens of meters high, and it completely occupies the space at the bottom of the cliff.
It is the owner of the fungus, the source of all mold.
Mold can be simply understood as a kind of secretion of it, and Miranda used it as a reference when she developed the Gift.
You can clearly feel that it is alive, not only because of its slight movement, but also because of the majestic and surging vitality of its body.
When Leon stood in front of it, his heart was not only shocked, but also emotional, feeling his own insignificance.
As a transcendent creature just getting started, he actually felt a trace of divinity in the fungus master.
In time, maybe the fungus master may really be able to turn into a god.
Leon slowly approached, reaching out to touch it.
But at this moment, he suddenly heard Miranda's voice.
"Strega is dead, someone has broken into the forbidden grounds! Archina, get out there and see what's going on! ”
Behind the fungus owner is a series of stairs that go up, and at the end of the stairs is Miranda's laboratory, less than 50 meters apart. It can be said that there is only one door between Leon and Miranda now.
Immediately afterwards, the graceful figure of the lady appeared, and found Li Ang at the first time.
Although she was prepared, she still couldn't help but be frightened.
"Miranda is coming, hide first!"
Even though Archyna couldn't speak, Leon could tell what she was about to say by the shape of her mouth.
"Who is so bold to break into the forbidden land of the black god!" Miranda was not far behind.
She didn't wear a black-winged robe today, but changed into a pure white lab coat, which was less majestic and more human.
Donna, the puppeteer, unexpectedly appears behind Miranda, still in a black mourning dress, but there is no trace of Angie in her arms.
The two of them saw Li Ang beside the fungus master at the same time, but their reactions were different.
Donna immediately looked at her adoptive mother, and countless tiny pollen flew out of the cracks in her clothes.
Miranda was furious, and several thick black vines rose from the ground in an instant, carrying her and rushing towards Leon.
Seeing this, Archina tried to stop it, but before she could make a move, Miranda stopped by herself, and looked carefully that Leon, who was not far away, had already touched the fungus master.
"Take care of my body!"
Miranda dropped a word, and her body immediately fell backwards.
Arcina habitually reached out to hold on, and then turned her gaze to Donna, who as an adopted daughter, should know more than her.
"Her consciousness... Entered the fungus master... Internally, he too. ”
Donna looked at Leon, who was also motionless, and explained the reason.
The moment Leon touched the fungus master, the two were connected, and even Miranda couldn't cut it off, so she could only go in with her and solve Leon from the consciousness level.
"Then can we take the opportunity to kill Miranda!" Archyna asked hurriedly.
Donna shook her head: "No, the fungus master is still there, Miranda... It won't... Die, unless the fungus owner... Take the initiative to will... She abandoned. ”
Archyna suddenly remembered that Leon seemed to have said this, but she was too anxious and panicked just now, and she didn't think about it for a while.
But in fact, Donna doesn't know much, Miranda has always been secretive about the fungus owner, even in front of her most trusted adopted daughter, she rarely mentions related topics.
The reason why Donna knew was completely guessed by years of observation.
"We... Although it is impossible to... Kill Miranda, but... There are other things that can be done. Donna turned back to the lab, "With... I got it. ”
Archyna was stunned for a moment, unable to understand why the puppeteer was so active.
How did Leon convince her?
......
Whether he slept or not, Li Ang didn't understand it very well, he only knew that the moment he came into contact with the fungus master, an out-of-body tremor spread throughout his body.
It's very similar to the state when he first crossed over, when his body and consciousness were not completely fused.
Like a fluttering feather, it is similar to a fish in the sea, in short, it lacks a down-to-earth feeling.
And he found himself falling, very slowly, and could often hear inexplicable whispers in his ears.
Sometimes it's friends and relatives from his previous life, sometimes it's Achena, Ashley, and even the Duke, and he angrily asks Leon when he will make good on his promise.
This state didn't last long, and Leon's eyes went dark.
When he woke up again, he found himself standing outside the gates of Tijia Castle.
The feeling of lightness before was gone.
Li Ang understood that he had successfully entered the consciousness space of the fungus master.
Within its sphere of influence, the Fungus Master can absorb the memories of the deceased into this vast space and store them, including Miranda's daughter Eva.
It is important to note that it must be a deceased person to do so.
However, there are exceptions to everything, and there are people who can enter as the living, but there are only a handful, such as Miranda a hundred years ago, the Duke earlier, and Leon now.
Their own uniqueness aroused the curiosity of the fungus owner.
In the previous life, many players were discussing whether the fungus master had autonomous consciousness, and Li Ang can now tell them accurately.
Yes!
In ancient times, before humans appeared, the fungus owner already existed.
To this day, it has a vast number of memories of various species stored in its body, and it would be unreasonable to be unable to generate consciousness in this way.
What's more... It had just spoken to Leon.
