After a conversation with Diao Zhiming, a monk in the Transformation Stage, the four of them settled down in this settlement.
This means that they know very little about the situation on Planet 021 and have nowhere to go at the moment.
Secondly, in a dangerous environment like Planet 021, staying together for warmth is undoubtedly the best option.
At night.
The survivors gather underground and survive in the camps.
Because the indescribable creatures on Planet 021 are extremely active, under their prying eyes, monks such as Cheng Sheng and others are simply unable to practice normally.
Since he was unable to practice and had nothing to do, Cheng Sheng continued to study the diary he had found from the residence of the original owner of the body.
By the faint light of the rosin oil lamp, the diary of the original owner of the living body was opened.
But the last few pages of the diary read:
[First extraction record. 】
[Temperature: 30°C, the extraction liquid used is: light salt water. 】
[Extraction result: Failed. 】
[Second extraction. 】
[Controlling the variables, after raising the temperature to 35°C, the extraction effect was obviously improved, but it still failed. 】
[The third extraction. 】
[Control the variables again, keep the temperature at around 35°, and use concentrated salt water instead of light salt water to control the concentration at around 15%. 】
[The third extraction was successful. 】
According to the diary:
After the original owner of the body successfully extracted the 'Dark Spore' for the third time, he injected the extract into his body in one breath.
It may be that the extract will have a certain impact on people's mental state.
Nearly 90% of the diary content recorded by the original owner of the body after injecting the extract was useless nonsense, confusing and illogical.
Chengshuo read it over and over for a long time before extracting some useful content:
In short, it is the extract extracted from the 'dark spores', which is suspected to improve people's physical fitness and gain superhuman strength.
But the extract also has certain side effects:
This extract can greatly enhance the injector's perception, including the injector's perception of fear.
The more acute the injector's perception of fear is, the easier it is to be targeted by 'those creatures'.
This ends the diary page.
Survival continues to turn the page.
【I woke up. 】
[After injecting the extract last night, I felt that my whole consciousness was very confused. When I woke up the next day, I felt hungover and had a headache. But all the effort was worth it. I could clearly feel my strength. It has grown bigger, and its speed has become countless times faster than before. 】
[But I have used up all the mushrooms, so the experiment cannot continue. 】
[I have to go out and find more mushrooms. 】
This ends this page.
Survive turned the page again.
The third page is still the extraction experiment record about the 'Dark Spore'.
Moreover, the amount of mushrooms, or 'dark spores', collected by the original owner this time was obviously several times more than before.
Therefore, the original owner extracted far more 'dark spore extract' this time than last time.
The following is the content of the extraction experiment:
[After many experiments, I found that the extraction effect is the most perfect if the temperature during extraction is kept at around 37°C. This happens to be very close to human body temperature. Is it just a coincidence? 】
Immediately afterwards, the original owner injected all the extracted dark spore extract into the body again.
So what the original owner later recorded became confusing and illogical again;
[Same as last time, I heard its voice again, and I felt that I was getting closer and closer to it. 】
[Maybe with a few more injections, I can truly become one with it. 】
【I will be truly liberated then. 】
[By the way, its name is 'bacteria'. 】
"Bacteria."
In the tent.
The moment he saw the word 'bacteria' in the diary, Chengshuo read it out subconsciously.
A few seconds later, an indescribable and strange feeling of fear also appeared in the camp where Chengsheng was.
It was different from the fear I felt in the forest before I came alive.
The feeling of fear in the forest was radiated by 'those creatures', so although Cheng Sheng felt fear at that time, it was not greatly affected.
But this time, the fear accompanying the word 'germ' took less than a breath of time to force Cheng Sheng to his knees.
This feeling of fear was so powerful that it was difficult to describe in words.
In addition to fear, Chengsheng also felt the same depression and despair that is difficult to describe in words.
'puff'!
Survival, who suffered a huge blow both mentally and physically, finally couldn't hold on any longer and spurted a pool of blood from his mouth.
"Fellow Taoist Cheng, are you okay?"
Perhaps he felt the terrifying atmosphere in Chenghuo's tent.
At the same time that Chengshuo was vomiting blood, the voice of the Mother of Pain also sounded outside the camp: "Is it convenient for me to come in now?"
In the tent.
Chengshuo forced himself to stand up and responded: "Come in, I'm fine."
Not long after the Mother of Pain entered the camp, Buddha, Lei Lei and Diao Zhiming also arrived at the scene one after another.
Chengshuo glanced at everyone and said with a wry smile: "I just accidentally discovered the name of an indescribable creature on this planet in a diary."
"I really didn't expect that just by saying the name of the indescribable creature, I was crushed and seriously injured by its breath."
"This is an exaggeration."
"I have invaded many planets, and this has never happened when calling people by their unnameable names on those planets."
Cheng Sheng said with lingering fear: "This kind of indescribable person who can't even say his name is simply too overbearing."
"Although the situations encountered by fellow Taoists are rare, they are actually quite normal."
Buddha explained aloud: "After all, as we all know, the more serious the pollution on the planet, the more active the indescribable creatures on it will be. So when a monk is on the planet, his words and deeds will be more likely to attract the attention of the indescribable creatures. "
"This includes: calling unspeakable creatures by their names."
"It's just that most of the nameless creatures on the planets are in a semi-sleep or completely asleep state. Even if there are nameless creatures on a few planets that are about to wake up, they are far less exaggerated than in the center of the galaxy."
"That's why we call the nameless creatures on those planets, and nothing will happen."
In the tent.
After the Buddha finished speaking, all the monks showed understanding expressions on their faces.
The Mother of Pain asked curiously: "So, what is the name of the indescribable creature on this planet."
Chengshuo didn't say anything, he just wrote the word "bacteria" in the void with his hand.
When the monks saw it, they all nodded knowingly.
Now that it was confirmed that Cheng Sheng was safe and sound, everyone left one after another, and soon only Cheng Sheng was left in the camp.
After everyone left, Chengshuo turned to the last few pages of the diary again.
His eyes stayed on the record about 'bacteria' in the diary:
'Same as last time, I heard its voice again, and I felt that I was getting closer and closer to it. '
'Maybe with a few more injections I can really become one with it. '
Apparently.
The dark spore extract can not only improve the physical quality of the injector in all aspects, but also allow the injector to perceive the indescribable biological 'bacteria' on the planet.
Although survival is not yet certain, whether this perception is good or bad.
But after all, the scientific researchers at Blackworm Star's 'Headquarters' have been spending a lot of money to hire god-level monks and send them to the center of the galaxy to collect 'dark spores'.
So I think there must be some big secrets hidden in the 'dark spores' or 'dark spore extract'.
This object is of great value and deserves further study.
Thinking of this, Cheng Sheng followed the method described in the diary of the original owner of the body and tried to extract the 'Dark Spore Extract'.
…
At the same time.
Just below the giant monk statue in the settlement.
as usual.
night.
After worshiping the giant monk statue with others, Dongmen Lin silently walked towards his tent.
On the way, he suddenly had something in his mind and looked towards the mushroom field where the 'Crystal Mushroom' mushrooms were planted outside the residential area.
The mushrooms in the mushroom field glow with a light blue glow.
These mushrooms are gathered together, which is very magnificent in the underground cave. This kind of spectacle is one of the few enjoyments for the survivors in the settlement.
Almost every time Dongmenlin leaves the camp, he takes a look at the mushroom field.
But this time, the situation seemed a little different from usual.
Dongmen Lin had a very strange feeling:
At this moment, it was clear that there was nothing in the mushroom field, and Dongmen Lin did not see anything except mushrooms with his naked eyes.
But, subconsciously, he could feel that there was a strange man in black robes, crouching in the mushroom field and looking at him.
Dongmen Lin walked forward, and the weird man in black robe followed suit, always keeping a certain distance from Dongmen Lin and staring at Dongmen Lin from a distance.
The strange man's eyes, hidden under the hood of his black robe, revealed an inexplicable fear, depression and despair.
Is it pollution?
Seeing the strange scene in the mushroom field, Dongmen Lin couldn't help but look around.
Seeing the other survivors not far away with calm expressions on their faces, I knew that I might be hallucinating.
——Since the dark spores grew wildly and the entire planet was severely polluted, the surviving humans would occasionally see some hallucinations. This is nothing new.
So when Dongmen Lin saw the strange man in black robes, he didn't react too quickly. He just silently quickened his pace and wanted to return to his tent as soon as possible.
There are pine oil lamps in the tents in Dongmenlin.
This kind of oil lamp was made by Diao Zhiming, the village chief of the settlement. When lit, it has the effect of warding off evil spirits and breaking obstacles.
He wanted to use this pine oil lamp to dispel the hallucinations he saw in the mushroom field.
Don't know why.
On the way back to the camp, Dongmen Lin obviously didn't look at the mushroom field anymore, but an extremely clear picture appeared in his mind:
As Dongmen Lin quickened his pace, the strange man in black robe in the mushroom field also speeded up his pace slightly, following Dongmen Lin from a distance.
The weirdo in black robe always has his back stooped.
It said nothing, just staring at Dongmenlin quietly.
This feeling was very strange: Dongmen Lin obviously no longer looked at the weird man in black robes, but in his mind, the eyes of the weird man in black robes were always intersecting with his.
It's getting more and more wrong.
We had to go back to the camp as soon as possible to light the pine oil lamp.
Dongmen Lin, who felt inexplicable fear in his heart, turned from walking quickly to running.
at the same time.
The strange man in black robe in the mushroom field also ran towards the East Gate Forest at that moment.
wrong.
To be precise, the weirdo was running in Dongmen Lin's mind, because Dongmen Lin couldn't see anything on the wheat field.
All the images of the weirdo in black robes appeared directly in Dongmen Lin's mind from beginning to end.
! !
Seeing that the weirdo was getting closer and closer to him, Dongmen Lin felt an inexplicable sense of fear in his heart, and rushed into his tent like crazy.
And the moment Dongmenlin opened the tent door curtain and entered it,
If you only look at it with the naked eye, then there is nothing in the tent at this moment.
But if you use your brain to 'see', then at this moment, Dongmen Lin will have such a lingering picture in his mind:
The strange man who had been crouching on the mushroom field before was now crouching in the tent with his waist hunched over, looking intently at Dongmen Forest.
Except for his eyes, the strange man in robes has no other facial features.
Instead, there were countless densely packed purple-black mushrooms covering the entire face.
…
at the same time.
Survive in the tent.
According to the method described in the diary of the original owner of the body, Chengshuo quickly extracted a syringe full of 'Dark Spore Extract' from a 'Dark Spore'.
Just when he was planning to find a survivor in the settlement to test the effect of the extract, he suddenly heard a scream coming from outside the camp.
Then the entire colony became noisy.
Chengsheng followed the sound to the location of the incident.
Seeing that the village chief Diao Zhiming was also present, he took advantage of the situation and asked, "What is the situation now?"
"The unspeakable creatures have begun to take action, and the pollution has spread to our settlement."
As the village chief Diao Zhiming spoke, he suddenly pointed to a tent in front of him.
Chengshuo followed what Diao Zhiming pointed and looked inside the tent: inside the tent, he saw a survivor covered with countless purple-black mushrooms.
The survivor's body was exuding an extremely strong feeling of 'fear'.
This person is not dead.
Although his whole body was covered with mushrooms, he still had some breath left.
His friend came forward with a knife and wanted to help the survivor, but the village chief Diao Zhiming stopped him and said: "Don't get close to your friend. He is now mentally affected by mushrooms and has hallucinations. If you get close to him , you will be pulled into the illusion, and the illusion will continuously squeeze out the 'emotion of fear'."
After stopping this person, the village chief Diao Zhiming said to the other survivors: "Everyone, please check to see if anyone is contaminated and has mushrooms growing on his body. If so, please report to me in time! "
Mushrooms?
After being reminded by the village chief, Cheng Sheng hurriedly lifted up the clothes around his waist as if he had something in his heart.
However, he saw that a small piece of chilling purple-black mushrooms had grown densely on the waist of the body he was currently occupying.
Chengshuo also fell into the trap
