Chapter 617 Tyrannosaurus Rex
The Behemoth looks a lot like a sloth, enlarged to a length of thirty meters. Its whole body is covered with thick, stiff, long hair, dyed with messy colors. Looking closer, the colors are either green and brown after the branches and leaves of trees have been squeezed, or the color of blood left by other animals in the fight.
Like the sloth, the Behemoth also has sharp and narrow claws that can easily cut through the skin of its prey, regardless of whether it is scale or hard shell. It was sitting on the carcass of a long-necked dragon, digging out from under the dinosaur's body, grabbing the still-steaming pieces of meat and stuffing them into its mouth.
Zhao Mai was suspended in mid-air and lightly snapped his fingers. Beamon was stunned for a moment, and then fell asleep. Soon a yellow-brown Z-worm emerged from its ear, and Zhao Mai carried it up into the sky using telekinesis. In addition to being able to eat, sleep and recover quickly, Beamon's biggest feature is his pair of indestructible claws, which can almost be regarded as the strongest offensive weapon in the monster world. Zhao Mai has fought this monster before. The shell of the ghost spaceship can withstand dragon breath and dragon claws. Even Zhao Mai's fist can resist a few blows, but it is no different from tofu under Beamon's claws.
"Is there a special added substance inside, and a special energy organ?" Zhao Mai received the genetic information from the Z worm, nodded with satisfaction, and quickly flew to the next location.
The large mushroom forest was found under the leadership of the red dragon. The smart red dragon called it the "most difficult to understand" place. Three valleys and thousands of acres of land are covered by various fungi. Mushrooms are the most common form of fungi here. There is no toxicity here, all fungi are edible, and whether they are originally herbivorous or carnivorous, you can find energy and nutrients in the fungi here.
For hundreds of years, countless animals have come to eat a few bites of mushrooms to survive the crisis when they can't find food. Mushrooms are not delicious, this is what the red dragon said, and it tasted them out of curiosity. There is nothing unusual about eating mushrooms while creatures are alive, but after they die due to lifespan or injuries, the same mushrooms will grow on their corpses. These mushrooms will eventually turn into fungal spores and fly back into the valley, increasing the mushroom population here.
"If you eat too little, you won't die like this. If you eat too much, you will definitely be like this!" When the red dragon said this, his voice was trembling.
Zhao Mai found the Z-worm that was already covered in mushrooms from the valley. Its "mental" state is very good, but it has another energy organ in its cells, which surprised Zhao Mai! The Z worm demonstrates the use of this new organ by constantly dividing and dying, which Zhao Mai calls "recipe recycling."
While the cells are still alive, the organ never works and consumes no energy. Once the cell dies, it "activates", accelerates the decay of the cell, turns everything around it into fungus, and then returns it to the mother body, or forms a new mother body. This can also be regarded as an alternative way of growth and reproduction, the ultimate form of scavengers.
From the returned spores, it will remember the nutrients and food requirements of the host during its lifetime, and then use this to increase its own "taste" to attract more similar creatures to eat it. But it does not have the ability to understand and remember neural signals, so the nutrients it produces are not delicious. After all, eating meat and eating protein powder are completely different things...
"This is the first creature that can in turn affect the Z-worm." Zhao Mai put the Z-worm away and frowned. He felt the energy fluctuation coming from the distance, which was the power of the curse, so he immediately used Apparition to leave. Not long after he passed by, two Atlantis magicians flew over the mushroom forest, waving their wands and casting detection spells.
"It's weird, I didn't see anything! Did you enter the death mushroom forest?"
Another wizard grabbed his companion: "Let's fly here. If we accidentally inhale the spores, we will turn into mushrooms after we die."
"Ha, do you believe those stories that lie to children?" But in the end, he did not dare to move on. The two wizards used detection spells to check the area for a long time, but could not find any trace of outsiders, so they left angrily.
Zhao Mai avoided the wizard of Atlantis and found the location of the last Z-worm. The red dragon sat cross-legged in the place where the natural force was strongest, biting its tail in its mouth, widening its eyes and picking its nails with its claws. She carefully pulled out a hard thorn from the gap between her nails, and then bit her tail in pain, which ended up hurting even more...
"Ouch!!!" Longwei spread out in all directions, and there was a commotion in the woods. Then the red dragon blew on the tooth marks on his tail, touched his eyes with his hands, and was about to put the claws with the thorns out of them in his mouth and burn them with fire to disinfect them. She suddenly saw Zhao Mai, floating in front of her with a surprised expression.
Red Dragon immediately sat upright and said, "Boss, you are here!"
"So you usually look like this lazy..." Zhao Mai lowered his head and looked at the ground, wondering what could actually get stuck into the red dragon's nails.
It was a spiral-shaped wand, still emitting a long blue light. It was this light that made it very strong. "Not long ago, a group of wizards came here and asked me to get out. I didn't agree. This is your place, how can you give it to them?! So I fought with them. I worked hard to drive them away! I also suffered some injuries, but as I stayed here, the wounds healed quickly, so you couldn’t tell.”
"Oh, this place will be yours from now on. You don't have to fight and get hurt for me." Zhao Mai ordered the Z-worm to quietly come out of the red dragon's body, and then prepared to take it away. Unexpectedly, the red dragon suddenly lay down, with its wings, tail, and four claws spread out on the ground, and then banged its chin on the ground: "Boss, those wizards are so annoying, they look like they want to capture me for murder." Pets! If you don’t take care of them, at least take care of me and find another good place to put me, I want to go to the world of dragons!”
"It's not that serious..." Before Zhao Mai could finish his words, his phone rang. Zhao Mai was stunned. He hadn't heard this beep for a long time, especially after the car was damaged during time travel.
"Received a request to travel, the destination is the world of origin: the Kingdom of Dragons. Passenger: a young red dragon, location: 20 meters due north from your current location. Fee: pay on collect. Do you want to accept the order?"
There is a countdown on the word "No", 3, 2, 1, which actually ends in less than one second. Before Zhao Mai could press "Yes", the order came next. At the same time, a window popped up with more than a dozen prompt messages, all of which were probably about the same thing. "If this order is not completed, what will happen to the Dragon Clan..."
"It's the first time we've met, there really is an overlord clause!" Zhao Mai didn't know what to say.
The red dragon blinked, raised his head slightly, and said blankly: "Boss, did you hear anything? Just now, a voice said to me, will you take me to the Kingdom of Dragons? What's going on? "
"I want to know too!" Zhao Mai bared his teeth and roared.
