I, the only extraordinary in this world

Chapter 96
Now that his body and spirit have reached this high level, it is very difficult to see such a level of numerical improvement.

If it is normal, he may have to practice and study non-stop... It takes several months or half a year to achieve the progress.

Even if the route of practice strengthening and exploring is not correct, it will be useless to do it for several months, and there will be no improvement at all.

The value of this bath, even if the body is livid from poisoning, it doesn't matter.

If it wasn't for the fact that he had reached his limit, he still wanted to continue soaking.

However, he also warned himself in his heart that he must know how to measure everything and know that there is more than enough to advance and retreat.

It is enough to be grateful and fortunate when you get a bargain, and not to breed excessive greed. Only in this way can you keep rational at all times.

This [Ksitigarbha Essence] is indeed a wonderful thing, but Li Heng also understands that for him, its role ends here.

Continuing on will only lead to an irreversible dependence on oneself, and even a superhuman mind like his may not have a dependence that is confident that he can get rid of it.

It is no exaggeration to say that the stimulation of the human nerve by this substance is more than ten times the effect of the strongest banned drug in the world!
The initial contact with it will make people feel intense stimulation and bring unparalleled pain, but once they get used to it, the satisfaction of instant charging it brings is unmatched by any biological behavior.

The reason why the "Iron Armored Bronze Corpse Immortals" of the White Lotus Sect were not addicted is that after bathing in the [Ksitigarbha Essence], they were actually immersed in the effects of the medicine all the time, and when the effects of the medicine faded away When their bodies collapsed.

They died directly before the "addiction" came up for the second immersion, or the cause of their death was the "withdrawal reaction" after the effect of the drug faded.

This is a "super banned drug" that will instantly kill humans as soon as the effect of the drug wears off!
That is to say, only a freak like Li Heng, whose body has been strengthened to a perverted level, can resist the toxicity without producing a withdrawal reaction due to dependence.

But he didn't dare to use it many times for a long time, and it was hard to guarantee that the ship would not capsize in the gutter.

Just staring at the milky white pool that had regained its calm again, he couldn't help but slightly frown.

This thing is so miraculous and effective, but it is not very friendly to human beings. The benefits of using it are far less than the price to be paid. If it is not for my own alien (peer comparison), no one can make perfect use of it.

This can't help but remind him of the words written by the immortal seeker underground in the earth temple - "There are true spirits in the world, but there is no corresponding legal person"

Looking at the [Ksitigarbha Essence] pool in front of me, it is clear that there are such "natural materials and earth treasures", which can be called super compounds, but the price is too harsh for human beings.

His thoughts were wandering. He thought of the many cases and records he had seen when he was studying biomedical science. In fact, in many laboratories around the world, some substances with strange effects were more or less synthesized. Scientists feel that they have found the "miracle medicine" to overcome cancer, improve intelligence, increase life span...etc.

However, as soon as it is clinically tested, the results are all fragmented, and most of the reactions of those substances entering the human body are unsatisfactory, and may even directly lead to the failure of the human body.

All this points to the fact that the human body is too weak.

It's not that those medicines and substances are weak, but that they must accommodate the human body, a complex and fragile organism.

Even a Gundam engine can't fly a classic car, it must fall apart before it can fly.

"Maybe some natural and invisible laws stipulate that the extraordinary cannot be touched by the mortal body."

He took a deep breath, feeling that the flow of power in his body became more and more pure, and the energy from [Ksitigarbha] could be perfectly integrated into his own cycle of circulation, without any intention of rejection.

He stretched out his arms and spread them out, then clapped them together suddenly, and the applause exploded like thunder, causing a violent commotion in the closed underground cavity, even covering up the noisy rats!

In an instant, the rats below trembled in panic, screeching and scurrying away like an ebbing tide, setting off a spectacular scene.

And just after the mice dispersed from under the stone slope, Li Heng saw something.

It was a ladder, hanging on the cliff in front of it, which had already been occupied by rats, and now the rats dispersed for a short time to make it reappear.

The front is already the end of this underground cavity, and it is basically just the most primitive crack in the ground. Why did the people before hang a ladder here?
Li Heng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he walked down with strides, walking along the semi-circular stone slope until he reached the area originally occupied by rats.

As soon as he stepped here, he felt soft under his feet, as if a thick blanket had been laid.

This is shit.

A massive build-up of rat droppings!

squeak squeak-

Manic squeaks came from both sides, and countless pairs of small scarlet eyes stared at him in the dark environment, as if being aimed at by the red dots of countless sniper rifles.

However, no rat dared to move forward until Li Heng had walked dozens of steps. Instead, the rats dispersed wherever he passed.

"Another detail in the story was also confirmed"

Of course, it's not that he has a domineering aura that can naturally deter this group of rats, and it's not that he has cultivated a body-protecting divine light to avoid people and animals within ten steps.

In the story told by the old man, it was mentioned that when the rat plague happened, the man in black would avoid the rats and disperse wherever he went. In fact, his principle is the same now.

Anyone who has been soaked in [Ksitigarbha Essence] will make these rats shy away in fear, just like they dare not climb up this semi-circular stone slope to directly ingest the pool of essence.

Therefore, the "Iron Armored Bronze Corpse Fairy" can naturally drive away the rat population and suppress the rat problem, but this also has restrictions.

That is, it must be a living person.

Only the living Iron Armored Bronze Corpse Fairy can deter the rats, and once they die and become corpses, the situation will be reversed instantly, and all the rats will swarm up to eat desperately.

Because the dead body is just like the scene just now, the rat body that died suddenly after drinking [Ksitigarbha Essence] will become the food of the queen, and will be dissolved and transformed into milk to feed the offspring.

Therefore, the corpse of the Iron Armored Bronze Corpse Fairy will have a similar effect, which greatly stimulates the desire of these mice to devour.

This is probably another practical reason why the Bailian Church put all the corpses of those "great immortals" in iron coffins and hung them in the air without touching the ground-for fear of being gnawed by mice.

However, even so, he could not escape this fate in the end.

"Life...incredible"

After a long silence, Li Heng spit out these words.

He didn't feel cruel and evil at all... He was simply surprised by this special biological mechanism.

And it was only when he came to the depths of the rat's nest and the place close to the cliff that he had been wondering - what do these things eat?
In the crevices of the rock formations, he saw a lot of familiar things-a large number of fungi agglomerated, forming a shape similar to straw mushrooms, overlapping and growing in this mixed matrix of rat droppings and pulverized rock formations, And the continuous heat gushing out from the ground became the energy source for its growth.

There are a lot of them, and they grow at the bottom of the rat nest, where many rats are constantly nibbling on the creeps and mushrooms.

At the same time, Li Heng also saw an incredible scene. There was a kind of rat with a relatively large size and obviously thicker hind limbs. It kept crawling backwards and pushed around the rat nest, rolling and pushing the feces on the ground into the fungal forest.

And based on these traces, it is speculated that the distribution range of these feces is regular.

"They... are in the range of guiding the growth of fungi?!"

Li Heng was very surprised to see this behavior, what does it mean?
This means the group of mice is "farming"!
They deliberately transfer and accumulate their feces, soak and rot the rock formations to form a matrix layer where fungi can grow, and then the fungi absorb geothermal heat and grow into clumps, which become food for rats.

This is similar to how humans use fertilizers to fertilize the land, plow and sow, let the crops absorb solar energy to grow, and finally pick them again!
A group of rats develop "agriculture" underground.
