mad fairy

Chapter 271
  After discovering that he was parasitized by a purple-black mushroom, as soon as he survived, he looked at an innocent passerby next to him.

There was malice in his eyes.

As a monk in the transformation stage, even if he survives without using any cultivation skills, just a look in his eyes is far beyond what the innocent passerby can bear.

So with just one glance, the innocent passerby felt that his whole body was limp and he fell to the ground uncontrollably.

The next second, the living body also broke away from the body it was currently controlling, and instead occupied the body of the innocent passerby.

——After all, what was just infected with the purple-black mushroom was not the living body, but just the body controlled by the living body.

Now that he has killed an innocent passerby again, he will naturally get rid of the infection and be out of danger.

In the eyes of monks in the transformation stage, mortals are no more than ants.

Although monks would not kill innocent people indiscriminately, they would not hesitate when they were desperate and had to sacrifice mortals.

Therefore, Buddha, Thunder, Mother of Pain, and even Diao Zhiming on the side did not say anything after witnessing the practice of survival.

As for the mortals around
  From their perspective, they only saw the body controlled by Cheng Sheng Yuan, which suddenly fell to the ground inexplicably.

As for the innocent passer-by who was taken alive and dead.

His change is actually not big, so it is difficult for ordinary people to see it for a while.
  among the crowd.

Village chief Diao Zhiming waved to the mortals around him and said, "It's so late. If nothing happens, everyone should disperse and go to bed."

The spread of pollution on planet 021 is a general trend.

The trend is unstoppable.

Therefore, as the village chief, all Diao Zhiming can do now is to try to stabilize the situation in the settlement: "Then everyone who has mushrooms growing on their bodies, please stay and follow me to my tent. I will try to see if I can Get you cured."

It is late at night now.

Therefore, although there was an infection incident in the settlement and some people died from it, driven by sleepiness, the onlookers quickly dispersed and went back to their tents to rest.

Only a few mortals with mushrooms growing on their bodies left with the village chief Diao Zhiming.

Although the village chief Diao Zhiming said that he wanted to 'treat' these people.

But in fact, everyone, including the mortals in the settlement, knows very well: As expected, these people will be isolated in the caves of the settlement. In addition to being given some food and water every day, they will be left to fend for themselves. , until death.

In the settlement, survivors who were contaminated by mushrooms in the past were almost always treated in this way.

In fact, this is already the most appropriate way to deal with it.

——After all, although Diao Zhiming has the cultivation level of the God Transformation Stage and has been on the 021 planet for nearly twenty years, even a strong God Transformation Stage monk like him has nothing to do with those purple-black mushrooms. .

Therefore, the contaminated people who have purple-black mushrooms growing on their bodies can only isolate them and leave them alone.

...

The next day.

The entrance to the underground cave of the settlement.

Chenghuo, Lei Lei, Buddha, Mother of Pain and Diao Zhiming all gathered at the entrance of the cave in the settlement.

The five of them looked at the densely packed purple-black mushrooms outside the cave that had grown to the point where they could be seen all over the mountains and plains, with helpless expressions on their faces.

Lei Lei sighed: "In just one night, these mushrooms have covered almost all areas outside the settlement."

"So what exactly happened last night?"

"Why are mushrooms suddenly growing like crazy?"

Diao Zhiming glanced at Lei Lei, Cheng Huo and others.

He smiled bitterly and said: "According to my guess: it was the arrival of the four of you that attracted the indescribable attention of the natives on this planet."

"Originally, the pollution caused by the indescribable was gradual, and in a slow and continuous trend, it eroded the entire planet bit by bit."

"But now, there are suddenly four of you monks in the transformation stage on the planet, and the indescribable creatures on the planet are extremely active. In this way, the appearance of the four of you is like a catalyst, intensifying the situation. The unspeakable rate of infection on the planet.”

Diao Zhiming spread his hands and finally said: "Then, the current situation will naturally appear."

Diao Zhiming has been on Planet 021 for twenty years. Among the five people who survived, he is the one who is most familiar with purple-black mushrooms and pollution.

In view of this, the Buddha asked him: "So besides blocking the entrance to the Six Paths of Reincarnation Teleportation Array, these purple-black mushrooms can parasitize the human body, do they have any other harm?"

Diao Zhiming replied: "Because the indescribable creatures on Planet 021 feed on human beings' fear emotions, so including 'those creatures' and the purple-black mushrooms, the meaning of their existence is It's to extract the 'emotion of fear' from humans."

"Like 'those creatures'."

"Their characteristics are intangible and invisible to the naked eye. Once they are close to humans, they will cause inexplicable fear in people's hearts."

"Another example is the purple-black mushroom."

"They can parasitize on the surface of all living things on the planet, including flowers, plants, trees, birds, animals, and even humans."

"Purple-black mushrooms can create illusions, and most of the illusions are scary and weird scenes."

"The more purple-black mushrooms on the body of a life parasitized by purple-black mushrooms, the more bizarre and terrifying the encounter in the illusion will be."

"The parasitized person will continue to exude 'fear emotions' because of the illusion, until he is finally frightened to death by the scenes in the illusion."

"Are you scared to death?" Buddha thought of the deceased who was covered in purple-black mushrooms last night.

He analyzed based on the known information: "'Those creatures' on Planet 021 are easy to deal with. After all, their activity range is limited to the forest and rarely go to other places, so we only need to not go to the forest to ensure safety. "

"But what about the purple-black mushrooms?" Buddha was not only asking Diao Zhiming, but also asking himself: "Are there any growth patterns for those purple-black mushrooms? How can we avoid being parasitized by purple-black mushrooms?"

"No solution." Diao Zhiming said: "There are three main types of mushrooms on Planet 021."

"The first mushroom is the Crystal Mushroom, which I brought from the Black Worm. You all know its characteristics, so I won't go into details."

"The second mushroom is 'Dark Spore', which is the source of pollution on Planet 021. At the same time, the 'Headquarters' has been spending heavily to purchase these mushrooms."

"Dark spores are rare in number and need to be stored in special containers when harvesting. They are basically harmless."

"As for the third type, they are the 'purple black mushrooms' that grow extremely fast."

Diao Zhiming continued: "This kind of mushroom is a specific form of pollution spread by unspeakable creatures on Planet 021."

"The presence of mushrooms means the area has been contaminated."

"At the same time, it is precisely because these mushrooms are pollution and are spread by unspeakable creatures, so they often grow without reason, and there is no trace or pattern to be found."

As Diao Zhiming spoke, he suddenly looked at Chengshuo on the side: "Just like fellow Taoist Cheng, he was inexplicably infected last night, and there was no warning before he was attacked."

"Fortunately, fellow Taoist monk Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Dao Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Daoist Brother Daoist, Dao Dao Cui.

"Like the mortals I isolated in the cave last night, they were dragged into the illusion by the mushrooms not long after the mushrooms grew on their bodies. They may only be able to stay awake for only one or two hours a day."

"Those mushrooms are indeed powerful." Chengshuo agreed in time: "Until now, I still can't figure out how those purple-black mushrooms grew on my body."

"And the moment the mushrooms grew on my body, I had a feeling in my heart: Even if I cut off the skin and flesh of the area where the mushrooms grew on my body with a knife, I still wouldn't be able to remove the pollution. .”

"Those pollutions don't just grow on the surface of the body, but go deep into the bone marrow."

"If the body is not replaced in time, I am afraid that the whole body will be covered with those mushrooms in the end." Chengshuo thought for a while and said: "If it really comes to that point, even if I have the cultivation level of the Transformation God, I am afraid that I will be killed. The mushrooms were dragged into the illusion." Hearing what Cheng Huo said, the Buddha frowned: "So, the only way currently known to be available to get rid of the pollution of purple-black mushrooms is to replace the mortal body? In this way, in the settlement, the only way to get rid of the pollution of purple-black mushrooms is to replace the mortal body. Aren’t mortals becoming expendable goods to us?”

"Otherwise?" Diao Zhiming said with a helpless smile: "Why do you think I, a monk in the divine stage, have to live with so many mortals, and why do I have to take out crystal mushrooms to feed these many mortals? Isn't it just to save more? The body is available."

"But the problem is." Buddha continued: "The number of mortals in a settlement is always limited, isn't it?"

"As pollution continues to intensify, the rate at which we will consume mortal bodies in the future will only become faster and faster."

As he spoke, the Buddha said with a pessimistic look: "If all the mortals in the entire settlement are exhausted, then we are probably not far from death."

"Hey," Diao Zhiming smiled nonchalantly.

Buddha and the others had just arrived on Planet 021 not long ago, so when faced with this situation, they inevitably seemed a little pessimistic and desperate.

But Diao Zhiming is different. He has been on this planet for nearly twenty years.

He has long accepted everything here.

Diao Zhiming said calmly: "So, we are now in a race against time: either, we can break through to the integration stage before the settlement is completely destroyed, and then figure out a way to break the situation."

"Or, wait until all mortals in the settlement are dead and there is no body left, and then die together with those mortals."

"We have no way out."

The entrance to the underground cave.

After hearing what Diao Zhiming said, Cheng Huo, Buddha, Lei Ting and Mother of Pain were all silent.

After Diao Zhiming came to Planet 021, he failed to break through to the integration stage for a full twenty years.

Now that the pollution has spread to the settlement, it is estimated that the settlement will be completely destroyed in no more than a month.

How could Diao Zhiming achieve a breakthrough in such a short period of time?

As for Buddha, Thunder, Mother of Pain and others.
  Although the Buddha lived long enough, he spent most of that time sleeping and never practiced. In addition, his qualifications were mediocre, so his current cultivation level was only in the middle stage of spiritual transformation.

So does the Mother of Pain.

Her qualifications are average, so she is still in the middle stage of becoming a god.

Although Thunder's qualifications and talents are all top-notch, because they broke through late, they are still in the middle stage of becoming gods.

It is tantamount to wishful thinking for the three of them to break through to the combined stage in a short period of time.

As for survival
  He is the most promising among the five, but if he wants to break through, he must successfully fuse the 'giant blood-red spiked ball'.

But this thing is an indescribable derivative of Bai Qiuxing.

And there is an incompatible relationship between the indescribable creatures.

Therefore, the 'thorn ball' cannot be taken out on Planet 021. If it is taken out forcibly, it will immediately attract unspeakable attention from the local people.

Based on this analysis, the dilemma on Planet 021 can only be said to be a dead end.

No solution.

"Ugh"

long silence.

Among the five survivors, Diao Zhiming couldn't help but sigh: "Now that the situation has developed to this point, we can only do our best and obey fate."

"During the last period of time, we will just practice in seclusion in the settlement."

"As for whether we can finally break through, leave it to luck and God's will!"

"That's all it can do!" Buddha couldn't help but sigh.

In order to slow down the spread of pollution, after a brief exchange, the five survivors simply blocked the entrance to the settlement with huge rocks.

In addition to the boulders, the five people also took out talismans that could block the flow of energy or had an isolating effect from their respective storage bags and attached them to the boulders at the entrance of the cave.

This is not finished.

Buddha had received information from the 'Headquarters', and Life had received information from the Warlock Planet - lead alloy plates could, to a certain extent, isolate contamination from unnameable organisms.

Therefore, both Buddha and Chenghuo prepared a large number of alloy lead plates in their storage bags in case of emergencies.

The two of them pasted some of these lead sheets all over the entire settlement.

The other part is used to create a secret room specifically for retreat and asceticism.

After that, the five surviving people, including Diao Zhiming, entered the alloy lead plate secret room to retreat and practice hard in order to fight for the last glimmer of hope.

Although the giant monk statue in the settlement was cultivated by Diao Zhiming alone, he gathered the efforts of the entire settlement for twenty years.

But he didn't care much at this time.

He is willing to share the statue with Chengshuo and others.

So the whole group of survivors all tried together in the secret room to fuse with the giant monk statue in the settlement square, so that they could break through to the integration stage.

Although this integration is somewhat forced:

Among the five, Mother of Pain, Lei Lei, Diao Zhiming and Buddha all had cultivation in the middle stage of becoming gods, and forcibly fused the statues and tried to break through.

As for survival, after taking the path of 'turning gods into demons', you forcefully try the path of 'turning gods into gods' to break through.

——The breakthrough method of fusing the true spirit of the statue is only suitable for monks who follow the path of 'turning gods into gods', and is not suitable for survival.

Also.

All matters in the settlement, big or small, are delegated to mortals.
  ...

Cultivation has no time.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye since Chengshuo and his group entered the secret room for seclusion.

During this period, it may be that the alloy lead plate in the secret room played a role, and none of the other five people were infected by the purple-black mushroom.

On the other hand, nearly one-third of the mortals in the settlement had mushrooms growing on their bodies.

They were dragged into the illusion by the mushrooms, and in the end they were frightened to death by the horror in the illusion.

...

time flies.

More than ten days passed like this.

As time went by, nearly two-thirds of the mortals in the settlement were contaminated by purple-black mushrooms and died one after another.

Even the Buddha, who had been huddled in a secret room in seclusion, consumed a mortal body due to pollution during this period.

Things are getting worse.

However, the five people have never made any progress in breaking through to the integration stage.
