"Where's the bacterial brain...why don't you see the bacterial brain?"
Lu Yi looked at the wilting mushrooms under the beam, puzzled.
Logically speaking, the place where the feeding tubes of the fungus meet should be the brain.
Why now there is a strange columnar object.
Lu Jia was also a little confused and subconsciously cast a questioning look at Lu Ding.
"Look for it." Lu Ding frowned, as if he didn't have an answer for a while.
The three people quickly spread out around the columnar object, trying to find some clues.
But unfortunately, except for the thick carpet and countless small mushrooms around the column, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong.
It is worth noting that when the three of them got close to the columnar object, they could clearly notice that the temperature in the environment had increased a lot, and the moisture in the air had condensed into mist, making people feel very uncomfortable.
A lot of spore dust fell on the bodies of the three people, like mold, and yellowish mycelium had already grown.
However, these things will not have any impact on them, at best they just look disgusting.
"There's nothing wrong with it, except that there's no brain, and there's this thing in the middle..."
Lu Yi opened his mouth and was the first to express his opinion.
"Strange thing, could it be that we really arrived too late and the bacterial brain has withered and entered the next cycle?"
Lu Jia's brows furrowed tightly. He had already seen it just now. There was indeed no hiding space around the columnar object, and the brain of the fungus was gone.
"It's...it's a waste of time, so why are we still here? Let's evacuate quickly. If it gets later in the evening, the temperature outside will turn into ice..."
Lu Yi has already retreated, just like Zhu Bajie in Journey to the West, who clamored to separate his family after Tang Monk was kidnapped by a monster.
"Not necessarily." Lu Ding took a step forward and walked towards the columnar object in front of him.
Seeing him reaching out to touch, Lu Jia hurriedly stopped him, "Be careful, this thing is weird, it's not the fungus we are familiar with..."
But before Lu Jia finished speaking, Lu Ding's palm was already pressed on the surface of the columnar object.
A smooth and slippery feeling came from the palm of my hand, accompanied by a faint tingling sensation.
Lu Ding knew clearly that it was the hyphae on the columnar object that were drilling into his skin.
After enduring for a while, the young man took out his palm and presented it to his two companions.
In just a short while, a thick layer of mycelium had grown on his palm, like he was holding half a piece of light yellow marshmallow.
"The mycelium grows so fast, this is the mature stage of the fungus..."
Lu Jia just glanced at it and screamed in surprise.
The maturity period is part of the life cycle of the fungus. Only after this period can the brain wither and allow the entire flora to enter the next cycle.
In other words, not only should the fungus have a bacterial brain during the mature period, but the bacterial brain is also the most powerful moment.
But looking around, where is the bacterial brain?
"Yes, it's a fungus in its mature stage. The brain must be in this underground parking lot, but we haven't discovered it yet."
Lu Ding once again explained in detail, with a pair of Danfeng eyes filled with confidence and affirmation.
"Damn it, where is this Gou Ba bacteria brain? Could it be that it has hidden its figure and made us blind and turned a blind eye?"
Lu Yi muttered, took out a folding knife from his pocket, and helped Lu Ding clean the mycelium on his hands.
Although most of his words were useless information, there was one word that awakened Lu Jia.
Turn a blind eye?
The young man turned his head and cast his sights on the giant creature in the distance.
"I have a guess..."
Looking at the monster eating the mushroom, Lu Ding spoke with some uncertainty.
"Tell me, could the brain of the fungus be in that big guy's body..."
As soon as these words came out, both Lu Ding, who was meditating, and Lu Yi, who was cleaning the mycelium, looked surprised.
The bacterial brain is inside the hard-scaled slug? It seems that this is not impossible!
Hybrids inherit attributes from each other, with low-level being the dominant one and high-level being enhanced.
The leader must be the huge hard-scaled slug, and as the enhanced dayworm fungus, it is very likely that the brain will be hidden in the organism.
"Boss, do you mean to get rid of this big guy?"
Looking at the hard-scaled slug whose body was almost touching the ceiling, Lu Yi felt a little pain in his balls. Although Lu Jia had previously used glyceryl trinitrate explosive to verify that this thing was not offensive, its scales with a gray metallic sheen were not ordinary either.
Hard scales, you must know that the skin of this mutant slug can resist the attack of the third-order horse-level claws, which is quite rare among delta-level creatures.
"Do you have a better idea? Or should you just give up and bet all your opportunities in the Kyoto underground city?"
Lu Jia glanced at Lu Yi and said unhappily.
"I didn't, I was just asking."
Seeing that Lu Jia was really angry, Lu Yi quickly raised his hands in the air to show that he was fully complying with the arrangement.
"Then take action. To destroy the bacterial brain, you must break open the body of this thing. Lu Ding, look for its central nervous system and see if you can kill it or paralyze it."
After the order was given, Lu Ding no longer waited. He grabbed Lu Yi's knife and casually scraped off the hyphae, then strode towards the hard-scaled slug.
"Boss, what should I do?"
Seeing that Lu Ding had a mission, Lu Yi quickly put away his knife and approached Lu Jia with a flattering expression.
"You stay here. Although I speculate that the brain may be hidden in the body of the slug, the feeding system of the slug fungus has not disappeared. I am worried that that will happen."
After hearing what Lu Jia said, Lu Yi put on a solemn expression.
"Boss, are you referring to the twin bacterial brains?"
"Yes, there is a bacterial brain in the hard-scaled slug. In a corner of this underground parking lot, there is another bacterial brain. Of course, this situation is easy to distinguish. Just look at the hard-scaled slug. The size of the bacterial brain in the body is enough..."
Lu Jia said.
As for why they want to destroy the bacterial brain, it all starts with the special mutated organism of the fungus.
As a mutated organism with a life energy level reaching the Omega level, the fungus does not have strong attack and defense power. Some only have one way to obtain prey, which is to parasitize the host through spores, and then control the host to walk The fungi die on the carpet and become nutrients for the fungi.
After a long period of growth, or receiving a large amount of nutrients in a short period of time, the fungus will give birth to a bacterial brain.
Under the control of the mycelium, the hyphae will copy the genetic sequence of any creature it wants, turning it into a puppet that can be driven...
