Chapter 242: Parasitic spores

After everyone buried the charcoal turtle, Song Shu searched for several hours with a reconnaissance dragonfly and did not find a suitable fourth-level demonic beast.

Towards evening, it rained in the Death Mountains, and the reconnaissance dragonflies could not be waterproofed, so the freshman training was suspended.

Fortunately, Liang Wencai, one of the five, found a tree hole, and after confirming that there were no traces of demonic beasts living there, it became a temporary safe haven.

The inside of the hollow was a bit damp, not to mention the smell of soil mixed with rotting wood. Xiang Tian used vines to weave a small door from the branches he picked up to cover the entrance of the cave.

"Whew!!" the blazing flames jumped up, and the inside of the tree hole immediately became warm.

Taigu crouched by the fire and roasted his wet orange fur, while the rest of the people brought out food to satisfy their hunger.

"Brother Xiang Tian, what are you eating?"

"Steamed buns with jerky. ”

This is left over during the assessment of the Shenwu Academy, and it is estimated that it can only last for one day, or when Taigu suppresses the amount of food.

"It looks delicious, I'm going to eat it too, I'll exchange it with you. ”

"No, you have Warcraft jerky and fresh fruit in your hands, and it's too much of a loss to exchange with me. The Jerky of Warcraft can quickly restore physical strength, and fruits can replenish lost nutrients, which are more expensive than gold in the Death Mountains.

Xiang Tian will not take advantage of others, let alone Xiaoying.

Xiao Ying didn't speak, she directly snatched the steamed bun and dried meat that Xiang Tian didn't put in her mouth, chewed it in small bites, and kept moving food for Xiang Tian with her other hand.

"Enough, I can't eat that much. "Xiang Tian is also embarrassed, even if the Red Clay Empire has a thick foundation, there is no need to put piles of food into the Na Ring.

"Meow!!meow!!!" Taigu strongly disagreed.

"If you can't finish eating, there is still Taigu, I'll give Taigu to eat. As she spoke, Xiao Ying picked up a large piece of demonic beast jerky and shook it in front of the orange object, and the latter gnawed on it and lost a third of it.

"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, my Song Shu is from a newly rising family in the Green Fort Empire, mainly cultivating gold detection skills, and at the same time is a first-level late-stage battle boxer, there is no fighting spirit, and the attribute is earth. ”

"I, Liang Wencai, am from the Red Clay Empire, I am a small nobleman, a third-level early battle boxer, my fighting spirit is a vulture, and my attribute is wind. ”

"I, Liang Ao, am from the Red Earth Empire, I am also a nobleman, a first-order alchemist and a third-order mid-level battle fist master, my fighting spirit is a wolf, and my attribute is wind. ”

"First-order alchemist, what direction is your alchemy major?" Song Shu asked.

"Guns. Liang Ao lifted the sleeve of his right hand, revealing his mechanical arm.

"It's my turn, I, Liang Ying, am from the Red Clay Empire, a princess, a second-level mid-stage battle boxer, the fighting spirit is a dragon, and the attribute is light. ”

Song Shu's face was shocked, and he hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "My eldest brother Song Quan received gossip that the princess of the Red Clay Empire came to the Shenwu Academy, and it turned out to be His Royal Highness, which is disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

"Hehe, everyone will be classmates in the future, don't see outside. ”

The children of the nobles of the Red Clay Empire will take the Shenwu Academy as their goal, and if they don't succeed, they can only "succumb" to the Imperial Capital Academy.

And the Imperial Capital Academy was the school that Xiang Tian had dreamed of before, and now he entered the Shenwu Academy by mistake, which can be regarded as giving himself an explanation.

"Yes, don't bully her in the future, otherwise Wen Cai and I will not be done with you. Liang Ao saw Song Shu's sluggish face, and took the opportunity to smile.

"I, Xiang Tian, am from Cape Island in the Red Clay Empire, a third-level late-stage battle fist master, no fighting soul, and his attribute is fire. ”

"Cape Island, I don't think I've ever heard of this name. ”

"It's a very remote place, and it's not surprising that I don't know. Xiang Tian thought to himself, because of that time, Cape Island might have been excluded from the map of Chaoyang Continent.

"Xiang Tian can climb up here from a low place, I Song Shu admires it very much, and his talent must be very high. ”

"This... I'm not in a position to disclose. "It's not that Xiang Tian didn't say it, but if he said it, no one believed that it was a Ding-level talent.

"Could it be ... B.. Superior!!" Song Shu caught Xiang Tian's expression and judged, "If it's not, it's a first-class inferior... Isn't it? Grade A medium!!That's the talent of the pride of the sky. ”

Xiang Tian listened to Song Shu's speculation and almost believed in his evil.

But Song Shu had already closely linked the first-grade talent with Xiang Tian in his heart.

"While you're bored, tell you a weird rumor about the academy. Liang Wencai saw everyone nodding, and said quite mysteriously: "I also heard from my senior brother in the same dormitory last night. ”

Xiao Ying grabbed Taigu in her arms, "Say, Xiao Ying likes to listen to stories the most." ”

Taigu threw Xiang Tian a look for help, because Xiao Ying had already regarded him as the target of pressure. Once there is any grotesque plot, Taigu will be crushed into an orange cake by Xiao Ying's golden fighting spirit.

Xiang Tian didn't make a sound, and said with his lips: "You have eaten so many demonic beast jerky from other people, it's time to repay it." ”

Liang Wencai continued: "Have you ever heard of paraspores?"

"I don't know. Everyone cooperated with interest.

"Very well, then the story can begin. ”

"It is rumored that three years ago, a student who had just entered Shenwu Academy brought a seed and planted it in the dormitory. Under the careful care of this classmate, it didn't take long for the seed to take root and sprout, growing into a small sapling, and bearing three spherical white fruits. ”

"The next morning, the white fruit was gone. The three people in the dormitory didn't think so, but they didn't know that a catastrophe was coming. A few days have passed, a strange thing happened in the academy, at night, a student who was cultivating outside was inexplicably attacked, and after being discovered, the fighting qi in his body was absorbed, and the whole person was shriveled as if he was dozens of years old, and became extremely weak. A superficial examination showed no external wounds. ”

"The Shenwu Academy ordered the instructors to investigate the matter thoroughly, but nothing was found. But strange things don't end, they happen frequently. ”

According to the victim's description, the murderers were three white monsters with mixed furry bodies, whose bodies can change multiple forms, and it is difficult to get out when entangled. ”

"They have the ability to fly, their hands and wings are one, they are elusive, and they feed on the fighting spirit of the fighter. Breathing it out of your mouth, the skill is very special. ”

"The fighters who have been attacked by the white monster are either mentally traumatized or bedridden, and the people of the entire Shenwu Academy are panicked, and no one dares to step out of the dormitory when night falls. ”

This incident alarmed the Shenwu Academy, and two red-robed deacons were sent to deal with it. ”

The red-robed deacon suspected that the crime was committed by students in the hospital at first, but when he learned that three students had not attended classes for many days and had not asked for leave, he directly targeted them. ”

That night, two red-robed deacons broke into the dormitory and found the three cocooned members lying quietly on their beds, with white filaments spit out in every corner of the dormitory, but no smell came out. ”

The two red-robed deacons immediately made a decision, and a large fire burned the entire room, and the wails continued in the process, but under the fierce bombardment of the fire, everything was reduced to ashes. ”

"Afterwards, the red-robed instructor's report explained that this was a magical beast called Parasitic Spore. They were extinct hundreds of years ago, and now they are likely to be the remnants of the seeds that were left at that time. ”

"Spore seeds produce parasitic spore fruits, and once a human is parasitized by parasitic spores, the control of the body is gradually lost, and the living dead become the walking dead. They will suck the fighting spirit of the fighter to nourish themselves, and the need will become more and more urgent. ”

"This parasitic spores also have evolutionary functions, and their strength increases greatly every time they evolve, making them difficult to deal with. That's why the red-robed deacon burned everything. ”

"Phew, this ghost story isn't scary at all. Xiao Ying touched the orange cat in her arms, "Do you say yes, Taigu." ”

"Meow. "Taigu is speechless, what kind of ghost story is this, it's obviously a rumor.

"Rumors are rumors after all, and you don't have to take them seriously. Liang Wencai said.

"If there is such a thing, the Shenwu Academy will also block the news, after all, it is a scandal that cannot see the light, and if it spreads, it will be ridiculed by all the academies in the mainland. Liang Ao analyzed.

After chatting for a while, they all rested cross-legged and followed Taigu's rhythmic cooing until the next day.
