  Chapter 242 Alien Giant Mushroom (23)

  Below the giant mushroom, there is a swamp crocodile as the carrier. At first glance, it looks a bit like a tortoise with a smaller shell, but the shell is a big mushroom.

This cave swamp crocodile is different from its counterparts in the redwood forest. It is only more than three meters long including the tail, and its body is a bit skinny, but the scales on its body have a metallic texture, reflecting the vision in Ian's eyes. The psychic brilliance appeared dark and ominous.

  The cave crocodile with the giant mushroom on its back moved extremely slowly, and was not as ferocious as its counterparts on land. After noticing Ian and the others, he did not make any offensive or warning actions, but continued to slowly approach the lake.

  Ian didn't make a move. He took Isengard out of the way, and found that the other party did not care about them, but quietly came to the lake to drink water.

   "It seems that the crocodile dragon is in a state of low temperature dormancy...symbiotic or parasitic? This is a bit like Cordyceps sinensis...it's more like Para X Te in Bao X Dream."

  Ian was a little curious about the other party's strange form of existence: But now is obviously not the time to study it.

   Avoiding Crocodile, Ian and Yisen found a relatively dry place and put the old man down.

  Master Gosai was well protected, and nothing happened, except that Esengard took too much anesthesia during the operation before, and he hasn't woken up yet.

  Ian looked around the cave, then frowned.

  Different from the karst cave area covered by psionic fluorescence outside, here there is no light from the electric arcs flickering in the air from time to time. Although there is still a psionic field, it is biased towards water, so this place is cold and humid, almost invisible.

  But there are many cold light sources in the cave, which are the fluorescence of some kind of creatures. At first, Ian didn't take a look at them seriously, but now he looked at them and found that the light sources were giant mushrooms of different sizes.

  These giant mushrooms are a kind of sublimation fungus. The largest giant mushroom is even more than five meters tall.

  The strange fragrance that permeates the air is emanating from these mucus, with a refreshing sweetness. .

   "What kind of creature is this?"

   Frowning slightly, leaning forward slightly, the boy's eyes shone with silver light.

   Immediately, dense data flowed out.

  【Obera Giant Golden Mushroom (Terra Alien)】

  【First energy level, mature body, normal, symbiotic sub-smart creature, secondary low-intelligence creature in the Obera star field, psionic network sub-strain】

  【Body material... sublimated mycelium... metal-based life】

  【Strength Level: Normal】

  【Contains source quality: 22.2491 basic units】

  【One of the main sublimated wild creatures of the third ecological planet of Obra, a necessary unit for the ecological cycle of the Obra star field. Giant golden mushrooms can move through fusion and symbiosis with other organisms, but after a period of time, they will use special enzymes to gradually merge themselves with the symbiosis, and become immobile giant golden mushrooms again]

[After the destruction of the Obra star field, after arriving in the Terra star field via the "fire seed", it was transformed by native intelligent creatures, successfully adapted to the local ecology, and was retained as the experimental object of the "metal-based ecosystem" and "spiritual energy network" 】

  【Now fully wild and localized】

  【…】

   "Teacher has really improved a lot...It's a pity that the regenerative potion cannot be used continuously, otherwise the teacher's injury will probably be cured most of the time!"

  At this moment, Isengard has finished the examination for Master Goser—Ian’s operation was very successful. After all the lesions were excised and dug away, and his blood was used to further kill the parasites in the old man’s body, the parasites were basically completely eliminated.

  Although Master Gesai hasn’t woken up yet, he still couldn’t help but want to report the good news to Ian who was in a daze beside the giant fungus: “Ian…Ian?”

   Then, he saw with some doubts that the white-haired boy who had been very calm along the way was staring straight at the giant mushroom in front of him, as if he was looking at something incredible.

   After a while, he took a breath and whispered to himself, "What the hell?"

  —Aliens? !

at the same time.

  Flying flames team.

"...You mean to say that there is a white man who has been following us, following the footsteps of the vanguard without being noticed by anyone, and suddenly launched a sneak attack when the vanguard was about to capture the young master of the Ellen family. , collapsed the cave, and then killed Gomonda and the others, and went deep into the cave at a speed that you couldn't track... ran away?"

  The captain who heard the scout's report took a deep breath, obviously wanting to get angry very much.

  But he also knew very well that getting angry was useless, so he suppressed his anger forcibly, and said in a deep voice, "Okay. It seems that we still underestimated those Setar bastards."

  He walked quickly along the cave, and the invisible wind surrounded him.

The landslide karst cave that blocked Feiyan's soldiers' steps seemed to not exist in front of him. With the strong wind and dust flying, a large hole in the shape of a human appeared in the middle of the stone pile - and the earth knight behind him hurried forward, Mobilize the source quality to solidify the cave passage.

  The captain came to the cave full of corpses. He looked around the underground cave full of blood, angrily even the protruding organ on the forehead that was used to sense heat trembled violently.

"very good."

He gritted his teeth, and punched out words one by one: "I didn't expect to underestimate that Bai Zhimin—I thought he was just a wave-singer and didn't need to pay too much attention, but now it seems that he is actually the inheritance of the water demon. Higher blood."

  Turning around, he looked at the Spiritual Equipment Church team that was following.

  The head of the brigade ordered with a sinking face: "Find them."

  The female monk shook her head and said, "This is not within the scope of cooperation."

   "They have seriously threatened our exploration mission." The captain sneered and said, "I'm afraid you don't know, the white people are the new generation of sublimators that the local Viscount Grant has vigorously cultivated in recent years... I'm afraid they are his apprentices or illegitimate children or something."

   "He can get rid of our scouts so easily, which shows that he is very familiar with this place - the Viscount in Port Harrison also has a part of the key in his hand, and he may have cracked some of the secrets of this ruins group."

   "Catch that white man and the young master of the Ellen family, and ask these secrets. This is definitely much faster than us wandering around this cave area."

  The female monk was silent for a while, and she and the two watch knights who had been following her all the time glanced at each other, then nodded slightly.

"it is good."

  Turning her head and looking at the captain, the female monk continued to use that synthesized voice: "We agree with your proposal. But we remind you that in case of an emergency, our tasks will take priority."

   "[Heterogeneous Ecosphere], [Ascension Test Site], [Tinder Prototype] or [Tinder Core Design]."

   Saying so, the voice of the female monk was once again filled with uncontrollable frenzy: "Everything related to these three things should follow our orders first."

  The captain took a few deep breaths.

   "No problem." He calmed down and agreed, "So now?"

  The female monk nodded. So a watch knight behind her stepped forward and took off his helmet.

   It was a completely mechanized head, with only one huge crystal eye on the whole head, which looked like a weird head with one eye.

   "Turn on the footprint backtracking mode."

  The milky-white translucent crystal eye of the watchman released a fierce glare, shining in the cave—and immediately, one could see a clearly visible light trace derived from it, flying all the way to the depths of the cave.

  【Human juvenile body】【Human juvenile body-carrying human old body】

   click. The Cyclops-like watch knight put his airtight helm back on.

  The female monk made a 'please' gesture to the captain.

   "Let's go." Without the slightest hesitation, the team leader immediately led the team to follow.

at the same time.

   Above the surface of the sea.

  Elder Purdue, who was back from Port Harrison, was armed with ether, and brought a very bad news to Viscount Grant.

   "Bishop Baiwu entered the underground ruins alone?!"

  Holding the four-color card key, the Viscount frowned, staring at the closed door of the relic, as if he was thinking about a very serious question.

However, the bad news brought by Elder Pude still made him dizzy, and he felt incredible: "What's going on? This place is the secret mission of my family's guards, and it's also the four keys I collected! The late emperor personally gave us A mission from the family!"

   "Why do they all seem to know this underground ruins very well, but I don't know, I don't know anything?!"
