Xiao Xiao took out a low-level relic and placed it in front of a imprisoned stray dog infected by mushrooms.
The eyes of the stray dog in the cage turned white, and its body expanded abnormally. The fur cracked due to the expansion, exposing the fascia underneath. The blood and grease sticking out of the crack had solidified, and a few small mushrooms grew in the crack. edge.
At this time, the stray dog's limbs and mouth were tied with belts.
"This stray dog has been eating mushrooms for more than twelve hours." Xiao Xiao introduced.
When Xiao Xiao placed the remains in front of the stray dog, the stray dog began to struggle violently, trying to pounce on the remains.
"After absorbing the ghost energy, the mycelium will also grow rapidly. Being able to react to the relics means that the essence of the mushroom is still related to these powers." Xiao Xiao said.
This at least proves that what caused the turmoil this time is not something beyond common sense.
"The mycelium in the blood that is separated from the living organism will begin to grow wildly, as if it is a final struggle to attract other organisms to eat it. However, only when a certain amount of blood is reached can mushrooms visible to the naked eye grow."
Xiao Xiao picked up a scalpel and slit the stray dog's throat. A large amount of blood fell into the basin that had been prepared below.
"This stray dog is the creature that has been infected for the longest time so far. If it were not large enough, the hyphae in its body would have been out of control. When this stray dog was discovered, the condition of this stray dog was already It has become so bad that mushrooms have begun to grow from the wound. Even if the stomach is lavaged, the stray dog has no chance of surviving."
Now Xiao Xiao has completely ended the suffering of the stray dog, but maybe the stray dog itself did not feel any pain, because after eating the mushroom, the stray dog lost its consciousness.
Creatures controlled by mycelium will have their body's self-protection ability affected, so they will become very strong and have no pain.
The stray dog just instinctively twitched a few times, and then it completely stopped struggling, and its eyes did not close.
Liangfeng and Yin Ruoruo watched this scene quietly, because what came next was the key point.
In the basin where the blood was collected under the stray dog, the blood did not settle and remain still. Instead, it fluctuated slightly, and then many white spots visible to the naked eye appeared in the blood.
These white spots keep getting bigger.
They are all mini mushrooms.
Xiao Xiao threw a low-level relic into the blood. The small mushrooms in the blood basin seemed to have absorbed the catalyst and began to grow rapidly. Soon they turned into attractive and plump mushrooms. There was no trace of blood on the mushroom wounds. And Wugou, even covering the blood and relics underneath, it has a special attraction.
The stray dog's unbleed blood fell on the mushroom, but was directly absorbed by the mushroom.
As the stray dog died, its body began to twist and swell abnormally. Mycelium pierced the skin of the stray dog and grew wildly into mushrooms of different sizes, which soon spread all over the stray dog. The entire body of the dog, and finally the stray dog was completely buried.
The vibrant flora erases the dead silence of stray dogs.
This twisted and weird scene was played out in front of the three people. Members of the action team on the side controlled the camera and recorded the scene.
This scene also verified Xiao Xiao's words.
Previously, the only records were from mice. Due to the difference in body size, the changes after the death of mice are not as exciting as the changes after the death of stray dogs.
Because mice are only the size of a palm, but stray dogs are already close to the size of humans.
If it were a human being, it might look like this after the mushroom dies.
"The types of mushrooms that grow after being infected will gradually become single. For example, in this pot of mushrooms, there are mainly Hericium erinaceus, and a small amount of Enoki mushrooms and Straw mushrooms." Xiao Xiao explained: "I am in Mouse This discovery was made after conducting transmission experiments on the body, and the activity and transmission ability of mushrooms that gradually became single gradually weakened."
Yin Ruoruo's eyes lit up, "In other words, it only takes a few times for these mushrooms to spread, and their ability to spread will be greatly weakened, or even the possibility of spreading will be lost."
"That's the theory."
"That's good news."
While the two were talking, Liangfeng picked up a shovel and shoveled away the mushrooms above the basin. He found that the blood under the mushrooms had deteriorated and dried up at an abnormal speed, as if it had been drained of nutrients. Then Liangfeng dug up the inferior relic.
The relic was a dagger, but it had been destroyed at this time, and the metal dagger was penetrated and corroded by fragile mycelium.
Liangfeng scooped up the dagger and clearly saw the mycelium passing through the dagger.
This scene seemed particularly horrifying.
"This is the scary thing about these hyphae." Xiao Xiao said from the side, and it seemed that she had known this for a long time.
As a person who is good at research, Xiao Xiao has already done a relatively comprehensive research on mushrooms and discovered a lot of useful information.
"There are still two biggest problems that have not been solved yet." Xiao Xiao hugged his chest and said, "The first is a way to completely eradicate these mushrooms and mycelium, and the second is..." Xiao Xiao paused for a moment, and then said: "That's it. Those creatures that have been rescued by gastric lavage still have hidden dangers."
"Mycelium has penetrated into the esophagus, blood vessels, and even the soul of living things, but it has not completely exploded. If we study clearly the way mycelium penetrates into the soul, we may be able to find a way to eradicate mycelium and mushrooms."
Xiao Xiao's words also revealed some of her abilities, that is, she has the means to observe the souls of living creatures. In the face of human life, Xiao Xiao did not continue to hide.
Yin Ruoruo narrowed her eyes slightly, then looked at Liangfeng with a smile and said: "Liangfeng also noticed it before, you can communicate more."
"..."
Yin Ruoruo didn't ask further, which made Xiao Xiao slightly relieved, but she became curious about how Liangfeng observed the soul.
There is nothing surprising about seeing the soul after death. The relic user has this ability.
But it is very difficult to see the soul of a living person.
Even pillars rarely have this ability.
"You can communicate later." Yin Ruoruo drew Xiao Xiao's attention back and then asked: "How long can those creatures last after gastric lavage?"
Don't forget, there are still many people lying in the hospital.
"The details are unclear. The large dogs observed so far have not had major problems after gastric lavage. Regular blood tests are required. These dogs become hungry easily." Xiao Xiao pointed in one direction.
In the direction Xiao Xiao pointed, there were several large dogs that were tied up. You Anran and Wang Ruolin were feeding these dogs.
"Be good, be good~" Wang Ruolin stroked the two big dogs in her arms, showing a happy expression, then buried her head into the big dogs' furry bodies, and her breathing gradually became thicker.
These dogs have all been bathed.
"Hey, stop playing and help feed the dog." You Anran said from the side, holding a basin full of meat bones in her arms.
Several big dogs have regarded You Anran as God. They squatted at You Anran's feet. From time to time, they stuck out their tongues and licked You Anran's calves. The licks made You Anran feel itchy and couldn't help laughing.
