Monument of Life and Death

   Chapter 1027 Mushrooms

   "This... can't you?" Luo Jiutian asked very irresponsibly.

   "Why do you think I can?" Zhou Ye tilted his head and said, "Didn't I say, I haven't even seen a real corpse worm."

   "Real?" Xia Hua sharply caught the loophole in Zhou Ye's words, "So, have you seen the fake one?"

  "I..." Zhou Ye was embarrassed for a while, "I've only seen similar..."

   Li Muyuan was interested, "Tell me in detail."

   "At the beginning, we did become interested in the corpse worm," Zhou Ye said, "but after searching, we couldn't find any samples, so... we tried to make one..."

   "Making?!" Several people were shocked.

   Is there such an operation?

   Li Muyuan, a fellow man, sat across from Zhou Ye and put on an expression of professional academic discussion.

   "This is also a good way," Li Muyuan patted his thigh regretfully, "Why didn't I think of it?"

   "Actually, the thing we made is completely different from the corpse worm," Zhou Ye smiled embarrassedly and scratched his head, "After all, we have never seen a real corpse worm at all."

   "What do the things you make look like?" Xia Hua asked.

   "Well... I happen to have photos in my phone, so I can show you guys." Zhou Ye took out his phone, rummaged through the photo album for a while, and showed them the screen, "This is it."

   "This...isn't this a mushroom?" Luo Jiutian looked at the group of black mushrooms with an unknown shape in the photo, and asked with a grin, "Aren't you really growing mushrooms?"

   "That's why I said that what we created doesn't look like the real corpse worm," Zhou Ye retracted his phone and stuffed it into his pocket again, "You have to ask."

   "Can the mushrooms you make also parasitize on human corpses?" asked the Taoist priest.

   "That's fine," Zhou Ye said, "but it's limited to that."

   Dao raised his eyebrows, "Have you tried it?"

   "We..." Zhou Ye found himself in the trap of the Taoist priest, and his face suddenly turned red, "Of course we..."

  The atmosphere was a little cold.

   Zhou Ye and the team behind him once used human corpses to make this strange mushroom. Even if Zhou Ye and them became temporary partners, it cannot be denied that Zhou Ye was a member of that evil organization.

   In fact, he is also a member now, but he has become an abandoned child of the organization.

   "Okay, let's not mention these things for now," Xia Hua's words eased the atmosphere a little, "There's nothing I can do now, mushrooms are mushrooms, Zhou Ye, didn't the mushrooms you planted inspire you?"

   "Inspired..."

   "After the mushrooms parasitize the corpse, how do you take them off?" Luo Jiutian asked.

   "It's like picking mushrooms." Zhou Ye made the action of picking mushrooms with his hands. "The things we made are not intelligent creatures like corpses at all. They have no self-awareness, so they are easy to pick."

   The topic seems to be really moving towards mushroom cultivation experience.

   "Is there really no way?" Luo Jiutian frowned.

   "But..." Zhou Ye suddenly changed the subject and said, "We can't say that we didn't find anything."

   "Speak quickly." Li Muyuan was anxious to hear it.

"We found that different corpses are being transformed... When they are parasitized by the mushrooms we plant, they will produce different toxins, which are said to be toxins, but in fact, they have no effect on our living beings, just the mushrooms parasitizing them. There will be a wave of death, and after the first generation dies, the next generation that is resistant to toxicity can be reproduced.”

   The others looked at each other and made simple eye contact on the subject.

   "Does this phenomenon also occur in real corpse worms?" Xia Hua asked.

   Zhou Ye shrugged, "I don't know about that."

   "Nowadays, we can only believe that corpse worms will also experience this phenomenon," said the Taoist priest, "after all, this is a weakness."

   "But isn't it resistant to drugs now? Can we still use toxins against it?"

   "No, I don't mean toxins," said the Taoist priest, "but the next generation."

  Xia Hua blinked and quickly understood the meaning of the Taoist priest, "You mean, let the corpse worms on the corpse breed the next generation."

"That's right," Zhou Ye said, "When the next generation of mushrooms is born, the first generation will all die. If the corpse worm is like this, if we can find a way to make new corpse worms appear, the current The corpse worm might die."

   "But... we overlooked a problem," Luo Jiutian said, "Isn't that corpse worm already dead? It and the corpse have now become Lingxi."

   "That's not a problem," Lao Luo said suddenly. "Whether it's a human being or any other creature, as long as you don't know you're dead after you die, in theory, you can continue to live normally."

   Luo Jiutian couldn't hold back, showing a surprised expression.

   "It is possible to continue to grow after becoming Lingxi," the Taoist priest said silently, "just like an ordinary living person."

   Daochang stared lowly at the dark ground, but his eyes were scattered. Luo Jiutian knew that he remembered the friend who died and came back to life, but finally left, the girl named Pineapple.

   "Okay..." Luo Jiutian said, "So what are we going to do?"

   Zhou Ye shook his head helplessly.

   "It's not good," Xia Hua suddenly raised her left hand, and a regular flashing green light spot appeared in her palm, "My snake detective said it's coming soon."

   "How far is it?" asked the Taoist priest.

   "It has already found that dark alley," Xia Hua said, "It should be very soon."

   "It's really haunted." Luo Jiutian cursed viciously.

   "There's no time, we have to hide first," Li Muyuan stood up, "Patriarch Xiahua, we can only hope to find a weakness in the battle against it."

  Xia Hua turned her wrists, without showing any signs of timidity, "Leave it to me."

   "Let's go too," Taoist priest and Luo Jiutian also walked over, "Mu Yuan, just protect Miaozhen and Zhou Ye, and yourself."

   "Don't worry about us," Li Muyuan said, "I have a solution."

   "Master, are you feeling better?" Luo Jiutian asked, "I think you are still very weak, you should rest first."

   "I'm fine," the Taoist leader smiled, but the smile was still a little pale and reluctant, "Let's go."

   The three of them stepped forward, walked out of this dilapidated but safe small house, and walked into the dark night in front of them.
