"Qiuxia Wu, how did you do it? Why does this mushroom look like wood?"
Feng Yun withdrew his gaze from the tapping mushroom and looked at Mu Qiuxia not far away with a curious expression.
He was really curious.
This was the first time he had seen a mushroom as hard as wood.
"It's very simple. I just hybridized the Locust-eating fungus and the tree mushroom to create the Locust-eating tree mushroom."
Mu Qiuxia's tone was understatement, as if she had done something trivial.
But the more she acted like this, the more Feng Yun felt unbelievable and asked, "Is it really that simple?"
"Of course it's not that simple."
Mu Qiuxia finally answered the question seriously this time.
"I hybridized locust-eating bacteria with thirty-two types of fungi in total, and the tree mushroom was the only one that succeeded. All the other thirty-one types of fungi failed."
As she spoke, a strange expression appeared on her face: "Tree mushrooms were the last one I tried. Since all the previous attempts had failed, I didn't have much hope. But it turned out to be successful, and the whole The process went extremely smoothly.”
"It would be nice to be successful."
Feng Yun is a consequentialist to a certain extent and does not attach much importance to the process. As long as the result is good, it is successful in his eyes.
As long as Mu Qiuxia succeeds, it doesn't matter whether he tried thirty-one types of fungi or three hundred and ten types of fungi. What's important is that he cultivated a new variety of Locust-eating Mushroom. enough.
He stared at the Locust-Eating Tree Mushrooms carefully, and in order to see them more clearly, he circled around them until he had looked at them completely, and then he looked back.
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something. He looked up at Mu Qiuxia and asked, "Wizard Qiuxia, can the locust-eating mushroom only grow this high, or can it grow even higher?"
Mu Qiuxia shook her head and said, "I don't know this yet."
"I don't know? Didn't you cultivate them?"
Fengyun couldn't help showing a surprised expression. He didn't expect Mu Qiuxia to give such an answer. As he said himself, since she cultivated the Locust-Eating Tree Mushroom, she should compare it to Everyone needs to understand it. After all, in a sense, she should be its creator.
"They were recently cultivated by me, not long ago. I don't know much about them yet. I don't know if they can grow so tall or if they can continue to grow."
"So this is ah."
Feng Yun showed an expression of sudden realization and quickly asked: "Do you need my help?"
"It's best if you're willing to help. I also want to see what they will look like in the end."
Mu Qiuxia readily agreed.
In fact, due to the absence of Fengyun during this period, the progress of her experiments has slowed down a lot.
If the storm didn't come today, she would probably take the initiative to find him.
With his assistance and without his assistance, they are two completely different concepts. The gap is really too big.
After receiving a positive answer from Mu Qiuxia, Fengyun immediately began to operate. He began to summon the power of nature and fresh air to gather them around the locust-eating mushrooms.
In order to achieve better results, he limited the range of natural power and clean energy and tried to get as close as possible to the Locust-eating Mushroom, which could greatly increase their concentration and make the Locust-eating Mushroom grow as fast as possible.
He didn't have the patience to watch them grow.
Besides, he also wanted to know if they had any potential for further cultivation.
After a while, something similar to white mist appeared around the Locust Tree Mushroom, which was manifested by the power of nature and the concentration of pure air reaching a certain level.
Immediately afterwards, the Locust-Eating Tree Mushrooms began to change. Their bodies began to swing, and the amplitude became larger and larger, as if they were being blown by a strong wind.
At this time, both Feng Yun and Mu Qiuxia's eyes stayed on them.
They know that they should prepare to absorb the power and freshness of nature.
Facts also proved that their conclusion was correct.
As soon as the Locust-Eating Tree Mushrooms started to move, the white mist transformed by the power of nature and fresh air began to approach them. It looked as if they had emitted a force and captured them.
The Locust-eating Mushrooms appear to be very greedy, and their appetites seem to be quite large. As long as the white mist comes into contact with them, they will disappear in an instant.
At the same time, the Locust Tree Mushrooms were also undergoing changes. The most obvious point was that their color began to darken, from white to gray, then to black, and finally turned almost completely black except for the caps.
During this process, both Fengyun and Mu Qiuxia could feel that their hardness was increasing. After they stopped absorbing the power of nature and fresh air, they no longer felt like natural fungi, but had become Wooden carvings.
The hardness of the Locust-Eating Tree Mushrooms has been greatly improved, which is good news for Fengyun and Mu Qiuxia. The harder they grow, the harder it will be to be destroyed, and only then can they be destroyed by the Locusts. Exist in the army longer.
The longer they exist, the more spore powder can spread and infect more locusts, which also brings them closer to the goal of wiping out the entire locust army.
However, neither Feng Yun nor Mu Qiuxia had a smile on their faces. On the contrary, their brows were furrowed. It was obvious that they were not satisfied with the result.
In fact, they are indeed dissatisfied.
What they most want to see is not that the Locust-Eating Tree Mushrooms become harder. What they most want to see is that they become bigger and harder, or at most be ranked second.
In their opinion, the larger the locust-eating mushrooms grow, the greater the threat they pose to the locust army, because the larger they are, the more spore powder they can produce.
In this way, whether the spore powder is collected and spread manually, or allowed to spread by the Locust-eating Tree Mushroom, it will undoubtedly infect more locusts.
The more locusts are infected, the more likely it is to wipe them all out.
Fengyun's psychological quality was good, and he quickly got rid of his disappointment. He approached a locust-eating mushroom and made a cutting motion with his finger like a knife.
A faint white light flew out immediately and hit the stipe accurately.
A deep gash immediately appeared on it, almost completely cutting off the stipe, leaving only about one-fifth of it still attached.
Feng Yun was not angry because he did not cut off the Locust-Eating Mushroom. On the contrary, he nodded and even had a smile on his face.
He was quite satisfied with the hardness of the Locust-Eating Mushroom.
Although he could confirm that their hardness had increased after they absorbed the power of nature and pure energy, he was unable to determine to what level they had improved.
That's why he wants to test its hardness.
He was quite satisfied with the result. It was harder than he expected.
What's more important is that it has become very resilient. He just fired a sword light at it and felt a resistance.
This resistance is not only due to the hardness of the Locust Tree Mushroom, but also comes from its toughness, which is more difficult to destroy than its hardness alone.
This is obviously a good phenomenon.
Compared with the fact that it can produce more spore powder at one time due to its huge size, if the Locust-eating Tree Mushroom can exist for a longer time, it can also infect more locusts.
The only thing that needs to be confirmed now is whether they can continuously produce spore powder during their existence.
Therefore, after Feng Yun tested the hardness of the Locust Tree Mushrooms, he began to observe them carefully. In less than a quarter of an hour, he saw something similar to smoke floating from the cap.
His eyes immediately lit up, and he recognized its identity as the spore powder they produced.
With a thought, an invisible cover appeared above the Locust-Eating Tree Mushroom, like a huge bag, completely enclosing the spore powder.
As long as the spore powder emanates from the cap of the Locust-eating Tree Mushroom, all of it enters this invisible bag.
Later, Feng Yun was no longer satisfied and began to let the bag produce suction, actively ingesting spore powder from the cap.
The effect was also very obvious. After just a short while, the cap became clean and slippery, and all the spore powder was completely absorbed by the wind and cloud, without any wastage.
Looking at the spore powder that fell into the bag, Feng Yun frowned slightly and found that there were not many of them.
Although they collected much more spore powder than the same number of locust-eating bacteria, he still felt a little sorry for their size. After all, the latter was much smaller than them.
He gathered the spore powder, put it into a jade bottle, and handed it to Mu Qiuxia: "Qiuxia Wu, here."
Mu Qiuxia immediately took the spore powder. She knew that the meaning of Fengyun's move was to use these spore powder to test the locusts to confirm whether they still had a corrosive effect on the locusts.
This step is necessary. After all, the Locust-Eating Tree Mushroom is obtained by crossing the Locust-Eating Fungus and spore powder with the tree mushroom. No one can confirm whether there are any changes during this process that make the spores produced by them Powder no longer has the same corrosive effect on locusts as locust-eating bacteria.
If the spore powder of the Locust-Eating Tree Mushroom loses its threat to locusts, even if they have a much stronger ability to survive in the locust army than the Locust-Eating Fungus, it will be of no use.
Fengyun glanced at the Locust-Eating Tree Mushroom, which was cleaner than the one that had been robbed, and then quickly followed Mu Qiuxia's footsteps and walked outside.
As soon as she returned to the laboratory on the ground, Mu Qiuxia immediately tested the spore powder of the locust-eating mushroom.
She had done similar experiments many times and created the experimental environment in a short period of time. Then she took two steps back and gave up the test bench to Feng Yun.
Fengyun also showed a tacit understanding and immediately came to the experimental table and began to summon the power of nature and pure air, transporting them in through the small holes in the special glass box.
A whirlwind soon appeared in the glass box, and the spore powder of the Locust-Eating Mushroom that Mu Qiuxia put into flew up and spread throughout the box. Obviously, he did this to make way for the bottom of the box. Locust eggs are contaminated with spore powder.
In order to get the results as quickly as possible, Fengyun increased the natural force and the concentration of clean air in the glass box, so that the inside of it was filled with thick white mist, almost to the point where it was almost impossible to see even one's fingers.
However, this is not a big problem for Feng Yun and Mu Qiuxia. Their eyesight is enough to penetrate the white mist and clearly see the changes taking place inside the box.
Thanks to the high concentration of natural power and clean air, the locust eggs hatched at a faster speed. After hatching, they grew up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If someone who didn't know the truth saw it, they might even suspect that they were inflated.
Feng Yun and Mu Qiuxia both looked at them with a hint of nervousness in their expressions.
If they fail, they will lose a way to improve the efficiency of eradicating locusts.
"Failed?"
Seeing that the locusts were growing bigger and bigger, but there were no traces of erosion on their bodies, Feng Yun and Mu Qiuxia couldn't help showing disappointed expressions on their faces.
The last thing they wanted to see happened. After the Locust-eating fungus hybridized with the tree mushroom, the new species obtained - the spore powder of the Locust-eating tree mushroom seemed to have lost its corrosiveness against the locusts.
In other words, they cannot be used to deal with locusts at all and are typical waste.
Such a result dealt a certain blow to Feng Yun. Even though he knew that trying did not mean he would succeed. In many cases, failure was much higher than success. But when this kind of thing really happened in front of him, his mood was still the same. was affected.
He no longer summoned the power of nature and pure air, but he did not let the natural power and pure air that he had summoned dissipate, preparing to let them be consumed in the glass box.
He did this just in case. The so-called spore powder of the so-called Locust-Eating Locust Tree Mushroom is still corrosive to locusts, but the speed is relatively slow.
But he also knew that this possibility was quite small.
In fact, Mu Qiuxia's eyes had begun to withdraw from the glass box, showing a thinking expression. She didn't know whether she was thinking about the reason for the failure or something else.
When the natural power and fresh air in the glass box were about to be consumed, Feng Yun's eyes suddenly widened and he stared blankly inside the box, as if he had seen something incredible.
In fact, something does change inside the box.
His worst wish actually came true.
Just when he was about to give up completely, the spore powder of the Locust Tree Mushroom began to show its power, eroding the locusts very quickly.
In a very short period of time, a lot of white hyphae appeared on the locusts, and these hyphae also have extremely strong penetrating power.
Even the hardest parts of the locusts' bodies were completely unable to stop them. They were easily penetrated by these hyphae and penetrated deep into their bodies.
To be honest, Feng Yun was surprised by the penetrating power of these hyphae.
Even though the locusts in the glass box had not fully grown up and their defenses had not reached their highest level, he did not expect that they could get into their bodies so easily.
