Players Please Get In the Car

Although Xu Huo said that he didn't need Chi Xian's help, since everyone is here, it's impossible not to go down and have a look.

After recording the growth of fungi on the corpse, he walked along the stone steps to the cave deep underground.

Before Chi Xian left, Xu Huo expected that he would definitely come again, not to mention that even if he didn't come down now, he would look back later, so it's better to solve it together now.

"Old Xu?" Chi Xian called out from outside the cave, "Is it dangerous down there?"

"There are poisonous insects." Xu Huo reminded.

After a while, Chi Xian came in. He had a wealth of knowledge about fungi, and he knew which fungi could be touched and which ones could not. After he came in, he took out the recorder and kept taking pictures of the magnificently colored fungi.

"Sure enough, it is still the fungi that grow naturally to form this spectacular beauty." He said: "Many people use fungi to create paintings, but there is no such beauty that has been artificially intervened."

Xu Huo looked up and said, "It's very beautiful."

After Chi Xian had finished taking pictures, he collected some fungi as samples, and then walked up to him and asked him what he was doing.

He is a smart person, so Xu Huo didn't need to explain. He looked at it for a while and said, "Fungi like you probably won't live for too long."

"How do you know?" Xu Huo asked humbly.

"I see that your fungus doesn't eat other fungi, but only eats this kind of cicada fungus that grows on rocks. Cicada fungus is a very special kind of fungus. It can be regarded as a kind of poisonous fungus, but it is different from other poisonous fungi. The difference is that all people and animals infected by it usually live only seven days, which is the time it survives."

"There are many fungi that can reproduce in the human body, so they will continue until the death of the host. Cicada fungi are different. Their reproduction is at the cost of their own lives. After the death of the previous generation of fungi, the spores bred in them will not Start to grow, although the spores will generally multiply, but because they can only live for seven days, no matter how many there are, they cannot become a climate."

"This place has the most cicadas I've ever seen."

As Chi Xian said, he cast his eyes on the bones next to him, "Could it be because there are so many human bones here? It shouldn't be..."

"Speaking of which, why are there so many shoulder blades here? Is it where the name of Butterfly Bone Town comes from?"

"I don't know about this either," Xu Huo said, "What's more, there is no one left in Butterfly Bone Town."

"It doesn't matter if it's true or not," Chi Xian said indifferently: "Although these people's tricks are clumsy, there may be many people who are unlucky enough to die here."

"It's not like they are all cannibals. There are some small alien species in the rainforest. The locals are not afraid of fungi, so why eat people?"

"It's not necessarily for food," Xu Huo said. "Players die here, and if you kill them more, you can get some items."

"That's true." Chi Xian thought for a while and laughed again, "Before I came to Area 013, I thought there were poor people here, but I didn't expect them to pick up guns and become hunters instead."

Xu Huo didn't answer the call, but bottled another batch of mycelium.

"You said just now that people and things parasitized by cicadas only have a lifespan of seven days, so it should be a poisonous fungus."

What he just said is "sort of".

"This is the magical place, it can't detoxify, but it can extend the life of a person who is dying of poisoning to seven days." Chi Xian glanced at the mycelium growing on the ground, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to feed your fungus. "

Xu Huo nodded, "My bacteria is indeed a detoxifying bacteria, and it grows slowly. I have been looking for a way to cultivate it."

Chi Xian made an expression of "I understand", and added: "Although this kind of bacteria is said to be miraculous, it can't completely detoxify after all, and it's not like any poison can prolong life for seven days, so the value is just average."

"Has no one studied it?" Xu Huo said strangely: "It is reasonable to say that the value of this fungus is very high."

"It is precisely because there is no one that we can only give up." Chi Xian said as a matter of course: "I once read a document, which summarized the strange characteristics of the cicada fungus, to the effect that its vitality is very tenacious."

"If a person is infected with multiple kinds of toxins at the same time, the cicadas will survive for seven days on the basis of other toxins. Anyone who is infected with toxins and is not killed on the spot will get some relief due to the reduction in the amount of toxins in the body."

"However, cicada bacteria will release a large amount of toxins when they die collectively, pulling the host to be buried with them every minute."

"It's quite unusual for bacteria like yours to be able to feed on cicadas. However, cicadas are tenacious and may not be able to absorb them all. When the cicadas die, your bacteria will probably die too."

Xu Huo nodded.

According to him, the mycelium of the king fungus absorbed by the cicada bacteria can only survive for seven days at most.

"Is there an antidote to the poison of cicadas?"

"Since it was eaten by your bacteria, the amount of poison left should not be too large. The general B-level antidote for fungi should be useful."

Chi Xian was not very interested in Wang Jun, and after talking about this topic, he turned his attention to the flying poisonous insects.

Xu Huo also gained something. If the cicada bacteria alone can feed the mycelium of the king fungus, it will be much more convenient to cultivate the mycelium of the king fungus in the future, and a little sequelae are nothing.

Opening the personal panel, he added the information to the special defense department, and checked the information of the cicada, and there was no discrepancy with what Chi Xian said.

Over there, Chi Xian had already caught many poisonous insects, and found several rare fungi that he had never seen from deep underground, and put them away in containers, and then proposed to go to Shiyao Island.

"I guess the Midsummer Night Xinghe that Mr. Mo is looking for is not easy, not to mention that I have never seen such a fungus as Midsummer Night, so I just went to open my eyes."

"Do you have a problem with them?" Xu Huo glanced at him. He avoided it before, but now he took the initiative to move forward.

Chi Xian smiled and said, "Aren't you curious what the Midsummer Night Galaxy is?"

Xu Huo lacked interest, "Looking at their attitude, I know they are probably looking for revenge. Midsummer Ye Xinghe may be a nickname for players."

Seeing that he won't move, Chi Xian didn't force him, "Think about it, it's not easy to travel all the way."

After he finished speaking, he left the cave without explaining where he was going.

Xu Huo didn't care, and stayed in the cave for three days to get enough mycelium for the special defense department.

He didn't have much rest for three days, even the player would be depressed, so after coming out of the underground cave, he planned to find a place to sleep well.

Unexpectedly, Chi Xian hadn't left yet, he teleported over with props, and still carried the prey he just hunted from the forest in his hand - five fat mutant rabbits.

It is that the rabbit looks a bit strange, and the fur is almost completely replaced by fungi.

Chi Xian greeted Xu Huo, "These bacteria are not highly poisonous, and they won't kill people if eaten, and there are several types of bacteria in them that have their own fragrance, and the animals that have been parasitized by them taste particularly delicious."

As he spoke, he had already begun to peel the skin with his hands. He scratched lightly on the rabbit's head with a knife, and put his five fingers in through the slit, bent and stretched, loosened the top of the skin, then turned it over and pulled it down. The whole rabbit skin was easily peeled off. .
