The Earth People are so Fierce

Lichen is a symbiotic complex of algae and fungi.

Because bacteria and algae are closely combined for a long time, they have formed unique properties and features regardless of morphology, structure, physiology and genetics.

However, Meng Chao is familiar with hundreds of species of lichen plant life, but he has never seen a lichen so strange.

It grows extremely fast.

Just now Meng Chao scratched the tree trunk hard, scraping off the lichen up to one centimeter thick, exposing the black trunk inside.

But a few seconds later, the lichens on both sides were squirming and covering, and even a dark green sap was dripping out, wrapping the trunk again at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was as if Meng Chao's fingers reached into a green ocean, no matter how vigorously he stirred it, it was impossible to tear the ocean open a crack.

Meng Chao squinted his eyes, trying to activate the ultra-micro observation ability of his eyes.

There was a sudden pain in the fingertips, and the lichen stuck to the fingers hissed like boiling.

Meng Chao raised his finger and carefully observed the fingertip.

When he increased the magnification of his eyes to hundreds of times, he saw that the lichen scraped off by him was still highly active. From the inside, hair-like green tentacles protruded like a vigorous one. Tender Bud was sniffing and poking around, trying to tear his skin and get into the warm flesh and blood.

Meng Chao has psychic body protection, flesh and blood like steel like iron, naturally fearless of "lichen" invasion.

But it's not necessary to replace it with ordinary people, or beasts who are ignorant and ignorant.

What would happen if this pinch of lichen got into the body?

Meng Chao thought of a scene taken by the "Man-eating Pomfret" team.

In a "piranha" fighter, there are ghosts that look like poisonous snakes, vines, and branches wriggling.

When the captain designed this ghost thing to force the warrior's arm, and then cut down the entire arm, it also tried to give birth to countless vines and moss, wrapped the arm, and turned into an ugly creature like a deformed spider.

Wait, Meng Chao suddenly realized that it was not moss.

At least it's not just moss.

There are also these fat and greasy "lichens" that smell of carrion.

Meng Chao snapped his fingers lightly.

A spiritual flame burst out from his fingertips, burning the lichen completely.

But looking up, the entire jungle is covered with lichen.

Judging from its growth rate, even if all the spar ammunition carried by the exploration team is exhausted, it is impossible to completely burn them out.

"Look, what is that!"

Suddenly, an exploratory team member exclaimed.

Meng Chao and Long Feijun ran in the direction he was pointing, and fixed their muzzles firmly at the place where the emerald green was the strongest among the rocks covered with lichen.

This place is like a "nest" of lichens. In the dark corners, countless lichens are condensed into precise spheres, which are so round that they are not like natural creations.

The outer shells of some of the spheres have burst like ripe fruits, revealing the dripping red..."stamens" inside.

Things resembling flower stamens rose into the sky, like a beam of magical flames, and like a ghost hand that had drilled out of the ground and peeled off its skin. It was dry and cold all over the body.

"Bloodstripe Flower..."

Meng Chao murmured.

Looking at each other with Long Feijun, they could see the solemn meaning of each other's eyes.

Bloodstained flower is the most troublesome fungus-like creature for human beings.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is even more troublesome than many doomsday beasts.

The individual attack power of the Doomsday Fierce Beast is indeed strong and unmatched, but after all, it is huge and can only attack one place at a time. It can be intercepted by the strong of the gods and bombarded by the train cannon.

The bloodstripe flower itself does not have too strong attack power, but it is magical. It can drift in the wind, greatly increasing the fighting power of the monster, and the probability of transforming into an undead creature. It can also stimulate the variability of the zombie virus, exploding hundreds of species. Super zombies with weird shapes.

But growing in the depths of the misty extremity, the blood-stripe flower in the middle of the weird lichen is the most luxuriant and densest Meng Chao has ever seen.

The emerald green lichen, the scarlet blood-stained flower, two completely different colors, collided with a gloomy sense of terror.

Meng Chao and Long Feijun took two steps back and nodded at the same time.

Two exploratory team members carrying flamethrowers stepped forward and spewed out a strange fire mixed with monster bone powder and spar powder.

The purple flame was long in the storm, centered on the blood-stripe flower, and quickly covered a radius of 100 meters.

In the raging flames, no matter the bloodstripe flowers or the weird lichens, they accelerated their growth and squirming, making "squeaking" neighs.

Hearing the sound, the lichens next to him all squirmed quickly, as if wave after wave, trying to rush to extinguish the flame.

But the fire was too violent. Using weird lichens as fuel, a wall of fire was piled up to the tops of the trees, and more lichens were firmly blocked outside, and finally the lichens and blood-stained flowers inside the wall of fire were completely burned. .

All members of the exploration team including Meng Chao and Long Feijun also took out several injections from the medical kit they carried.

This is a vaccine.

And a cell enhancer against bloodstripe spores.

Monsters are evolving, and humans are evolving.

Monsters can use biochemical technology to modulate bloodstripe flowers, zombie viruses, magic capsules, and thousands of terrifying things.

The "shield" and "armor" of human beings are constantly being upgraded, and various vaccines and medical agents have been developed. They can even extract the essence of zombie virus and bloodstripe spores, eliminating the negative effects that make people crazy. Function and retain the function that allows humans to exceed the limit of life.

laugh! laugh! laugh! laugh!

The exploration team members completed the injections with each other, and as Huang Chengcheng's medicine was injected into the body, the cold and transparent feeling brought them a bit of psychological comfort.

"Look, there is something there!"

Among the strange lichens and blood-stripe flower spores burnt into black, a gleam of silver suddenly appeared.

It looked familiar, as if it was some kind of metal part.

Meng Chao shot a chain blade.

The gleaming heavy war knife, as precise as a scalpel, shredded the charred lichen and blood-stripe flowers, revealing a pile of rune-machined remains.

Seven or eight rune machines with broken arms and legs are artificially piled together, looking like a tomb.

A mechanical arm was inserted upright in front, just like a tombstone without writing.

"It's a temporary tomb built by Sister Ya and the others!"

Meng Chao and the explorers refreshed.

Before Lu Siya disappeared, the video sent to the rear stated that they found a cave based on the message left by the "Piranha" team. Inside were the remains of several soldiers sacrificed by the "Piranha" team.

When Lu Siya and the others found out, these remains had been gnawed away by snakes, insects, rats and ants.

In order to prevent the victim's body from continuing to be damaged, they dug an extremely deep tomb, temporarily buried the victim, and prepared to wait for humans to conquer the hidden area of ​​mist, and then transfer the victim to the martyrs cemetery.

"When Sister Ya and the others excavated the temporary tomb, there were naturally not so many weird lichens and blood-stripe flower spores nearby, otherwise they would never choose here."

Meng Chao muttered to himself, "In other words, these lichens and bloodstripe flower spores only grew out after they left, no, they wriggled and migrated.

"Could it be that you smell the human remains and want to devour our victims?

"Impossible. How much energy can be provided by a few human remains, compared with the energy consumed by so many lichens over a long distance, is not worth mentioning.

"Or, these weird lichens and bloodstripe flower spores are all controlled by some kind of intelligent creatures. They are the biological and chemical weapons behind the monster civilization?"

Awakening to this point, everyone could not help but wiped a cold sweat, secretly applauding danger.

Fortunately, they arrived in time and burned all the lichens and bloodstripe spores beside the tomb.

Otherwise, when the bloodstripe flower spores grow more luxuriantly, its hyphae will most likely extend to the ground, wrapping up the corpses of the victims and transforming them into undead creatures.

Several humanoid undead creatures, their combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning.

But the corpses of human heroes are insulted, which is always something that successors do not want to see.

It is a pity that they still have a task to do, and it is impossible to dig up the dead bodies of the victims and take them away.

Only one trap can be set up around the tomb, and a dozen incendiary bombs can be set up.

If the lichen and bloodstripe flower spores spread again, they will be burnt clean again.

The discovery of this tomb can finally help them to align their current environment with the maps surveyed and mapped by the "Man-eating Pomfret" team and the Lusiya team.

According to the figure, he determined his current coordinates, the direct route to the tiankeng, and the safe passage that followed Lu Siya and the others to escape the misty area.

"Don't worry, we will surely uproot all the weird lichens and bloodstripe flower spores and wipe out the monster civilization completely!"

Long Feijun led everyone to pay a solemn military salute to the "tombstone" engraved with the Dragon City battle emblem.

At this time, there was an explosion not far away, as well as intense gunfire.

It's the direction of the Kunpeng's emergency landing!

Everyone glanced at each other, their hairs exploded, and hurriedly maintained the battle formation, returning to the Kunpeng as quickly as possible.

However, when they rushed back, the skirmish was over.

The explorers guarding the portal were unscathed.

It's just that his face and body are covered with steaming mud.

On the edge of the swamp, a small monster fell down, all turned into a hornet's nest.

The team leader guarding here said that a spar engine of the Kunpeng had exploded and detonated the methane deep in the mud.

The big biogas explosion shocked some monsters, but instead of attacking humans, they fled out in a panic.

However, the neurotic exploratory team members used them as moving targets.

"So there are still some monsters here."

Long Feijun asked two exploration team members to drag back some monster corpses.

Everyone turned their attention to Meng Chao.

Everyone knows that he is a senior harvester with superb methods.

The role of the coroner is naturally none other than him.
