Chapter 1015 Invasive Species (Ⅱ)

Audrey turned her head and cast a consulting look at Joan.

"The King of Fungi's description of the Phantom Fungus is similar to the records in the book. The invisibility ability of this supernatural fungus is equivalent to the constant level 4 'advanced invisibility'. The biggest advantage is that it can attack in the invisible state without Show signs."

"However, as long as we bless 'see through invisibility' in advance, we can see through the disguise of the phantom fungus, and then it will be easy to solve."

Joan's analysis made Audrey feel confident. She turned to look at the fungus king and asked him to introduce another type of invasive species that broke into the mushroom forest.

"The eye of the air spore is a more dangerous enemy than the phantom mushroom."

"This is a weird fungus floating in the air. Its body is like a huge eyeball. Below the eyeball, there is a big mouth full of sharp teeth. Ten winding and twisted tentacles extend from the surface of the body. Each tentacle There is also a smaller eyeball growing on the top of the tentacles."

"You wait first!"

Holden couldn't help interrupting the narration of the fungus king.

"Isn't the monster you described just now the legendary beholder?"

"If the so-called 'eye of gas spores' is actually a subspecies of beholders, then you should wish for luck!"

"Unless we're all tired of living, or going crazy, we'll never fight a horrible beholder for a commission!"

Fungus King chuckled and signaled Holden not to get excited.

"Young man, don't worry, the 'Eye of Air Spore' is just a fungus, it doesn't belong to the beholder race, and it doesn't have the tyrannical strength of beholders."

"Really?" Holden asked Joan a little worriedly, "Could the old man Mushroom be fooling us?"

Joan shook his head with a suppressed smile.

"It's not like to be fooled, but to be honest, the eye of the gas spore and the beholder can be somewhat related."

"It is said that the first gas spore eye in the world was a legendary eye magician in ancient times. He used his own blood to water the 'plankton mushroom', making it mutate from a jellyfish-like shape into a beholder-like one, so Also known as the 'false beholder'."

"The little mage is very knowledgeable. It's the first time even my old man has heard about the origin story of the eye of the gas spore."

After the fungus king praised Joan, he reminded the young people not to take the eye of the gas spore seriously.

"The eye of the gas spore, although not as powerful as a real beholder, is not just for scaring people."

"Just like what the little mage said, the eye of the air spore is mutated from a plankton mushroom, and it still retains two characteristics of the plankton mushroom—it can fly, and it can explode!"

"Once the eye of the air spore is severely injured, the magic power accumulated in the body will explode violently. The destructive power caused by the explosion and the scope of impact are much larger than ordinary planktonic mushrooms!"

"What's even more frightening is that when the gas spore eye explodes, it will also spray out the highly toxic spores in the body. Any creature that is infected with this spore will become the host of the spores and use its own flesh and blood to grow the spores. provide nourishment."

"The organism parasitized by the spores of the eye of air spores will exhaust itself and die within a day, and the flesh and blood in the body will be squeezed dry by the larvae of the eye of air spores, leaving only a soft skin sac, which will continue to swell until it cannot withstand the rapid The rising pressure exploded with a bang!"

"Among the exploded corpse of the host, several air spore eyes will float out, like poisonous insects breaking out of their cocoons, floating in the air, looking for new prey."

Hailaer draws a deduction from the warning of the bacteria king.

"That is to say, the most important thing to deal with the eyes of gas spores is to avoid melee combat, not to give them a chance to self-explode and hurt people, and at the same time to avoid being infected with that terrible parasitic spore."

"That's true. As for how to explode the eye of the air spores from a dangerous distance, it depends on the abilities of you young people."

After introducing the two types of enemies that need to be completely eliminated, King Jun smiled and looked at the four young people facing him.

"I have already introduced the situation of the enemy. Now you may wish to carefully consider whether you are willing to help me deal with these two groups of robbers."

After discussing in low voice for two minutes, the four of Joan basically reached a consensus.

Everyone agreed to accept the employment of the fungus king to help him eliminate the "Phantom Fungi" and "Eye of Air Spores" that invaded the mushroom man's home.

But before making a formal decision, Qiao An still has some questions that need to be answered by the King of Fungus.

"Old man, you just mentioned the serious damage caused by invasive species to the local ecological environment, so in the eyes of you mushroom people, do human explorers like me from the surface world count as invasive species?"

"You human beings, especially explorers, are really strange. Even though your life is so short, you can't even live for a century, but you still love to toss around so much. You are whimsical all day long, trying to invent some new gadgets, and you don't want to stay safe. home, preferring to go to dangerous places to join in the fun."

"I really don't understand how a race like you that loves death can survive until now. Instead of becoming extinct, it has become more and more prosperous! It's incredible!"

The fungus king made complaints about the human species by taking advantage of Joan's remarks. After criticizing the "tossing" nature of human beings who are not satisfied with the status quo, he answered Joan's question directly.

"You explorers from the surface world will indeed bring a lot of trouble to our aborigines. Fortunately, most of you are just passers-by, and you won't take root in this land. No 'invasive species'."

Joan nodded and took down the answer of King Fungus, and then said: "Mr., my friend Hailar just now has negotiated the terms of cooperation with you. In addition to the half pound of magic crystal you promised to pay, I have a small request , I hope you can agree."

Compared with others asking for help, Qiao An was more embarrassed to ask others. When he said these words to King Fungus, his cheeks couldn't help getting slightly hot. Fortunately, it was covered by the night, so he wasn't too embarrassed.

"Little mage, first tell me what you want from me. If I can do it, I will never be stingy."

The straightforward attitude of the bacteria king gave Joan some encouragement.

"Old man, I am very interested in the ecology of your mushroom people. I want to conduct some research on this topic. I need to collect biological samples. It is best to give me some spore samples. I hope you can provide me with support in this regard." .”

Fearing that the fungus king might misunderstand, Joan hurriedly added: "Don't worry, my research is only for academic interest. It is enough to collect some hyphae, spores and body fluids that the mushroom people have shed, and I promise not to harm them. damage to your health!"
