The invisible mushroom is a fourth-level mutant bacteria. Although it is the same level as Su Ze, it runs so fast that Su Ze cannot catch up.
After all, it is a mutated bacterium that masters the "emptiness" skill. It must be as good at escaping as Brother Ya.
If you want to catch up with the invisible mushroom, you can only rely on Brother Ya himself.
Brother Ya reacted quickly and flew out with a whoosh, stopping in front of the invisible mushroom in a few breaths.
With Su Ze's electric current guidance, he could easily capture the location of the invisible mushroom.
Speaking of which, the defensive ability of this invisible mushroom is as strong as Brother Ya. He was slashed by Su Ze with a sword and was chased by electric current, but he acted like nothing happened.
However, it also has the same shortcomings of Brother Ya, that is, it has a single attack method. When it attacked Su Ze just now, it could only stab back and forth simply and roughly.
when!
Brother Ya took out his shovel and hit the invisible mushroom head-on with his face. Sparks flew out from the smash, and he knocked the invisible mushroom from the air to the ground.
Brother Ya landed on the ground and was about to use the sharp edge of the shovel to cut the invisible mushroom into pieces. The surrounding fourth-order mutated bacteria suddenly attacked Brother Ya at the same time to support the invisible mushroom.
I saw those mutated bacteria spitting out a large number of spores, covering Brother Ya like a haze.
"careful!"
Su Ze sensed those spores in advance and reminded him.
Brother Ya also responded in time. A huge double-sided turtle shell appeared outside his body. He retracted all his limbs into the turtle shell, letting the turtle shell wrap up his entire body, making it airtight.
Countless spores fell on the turtle shell, and the hyphae penetrated into the turtle shell to absorb nutrients. In an instant, the bright green turtle shell began to fade.
And those spores grew rapidly and turned into small mushrooms in the blink of an eye.
Click!
The turtle shell gradually develops cracks.
Brother Ya took the initiative to abandon the turtle shell and got out of it.
But taking advantage of this opportunity, the invisible mushroom had slowed down and flew back again.
Just as Brother Ya was about to catch up, a group of giant mutant bacteria took action again, and another large number of spores were sprayed out.
Seeing this, Su Ze immediately transformed into a combination of "Liquid Life" + "Indomitable Will" + "Swelling" and transformed into a giant dozens of meters tall.
He opened the "gravity field" and used gravity to gather all the spores floating in the air into a ball, making them unable to get close to him and Ya Ge.
"You go after that invisible mushroom, and I'll stop them. I'll use my sensory tentacles to mark the location of the invisible mushroom for you." Su Ze said to Brother Ya.
Brother Ya nodded, but felt a little worried about Su Ze, so he left a shadow clone behind, and he broke through the encirclement and chased after the invisible mushroom.
Su Ze cast an electric current to kill all the condensed spore clusters. Every step he took made the earth tremble.
He came to the 100-meter-large chicken fir, hugged the big chicken fir with both hands, and was about to pull it out.
The giant chicken conong struggled desperately, shrinking rapidly, and constantly spitting out various viscous poisonous liquids and parasitic spores.
Other mutated bacteria also came to support, spitting out various corrosive spores. Su Ze fired a "impact cannon" to absorb all these poisonous spores and mucus, and sprayed it out from his liquid fingers with a backhand shot.
Various spores were mixed with toxic mucus, and were released suddenly under huge pressure, directly cutting the 100-meter chicken tree into half, leaving less than 10% of the hyphae unbroken.
These mutated bacteria are similar to human long-range evolvers. Their attack range is wide, their hands are long, and their long-range attack methods are not weak. However, they do not have many means of counterattack after being approached.
You can't expect them to hit people with mushrooms either.
And they have the same weakness as most spiritual plants, that is, they cannot move or escape.
It's just that these mutated bacteria are not easy to kill. The big mushrooms on the ground are just their fruiting bodies. Even if these mushrooms are broken, they will not die.
Their real life foundation is underground, which is the thousands of strands of mycelium.
Su Ze fired a needle shot at the fracture of the 100-meter-long chicken tree. With a loud bang, the 100-meter-long chicken tree fell to the ground, shrinking rapidly.
But that's not all. The fracture of the big chicken fir grows rapidly, and the underground mycelium continuously delivers nutrients to it.
I want to see what's under your ground... Su Ze punched the ground, and a crack appeared in the ground, revealing dense and intertwined mycelium.
This time, it was like poking a hornet's nest. The hyphae emerged from the ground, wrapped around Su Ze's legs and feet, and plunged into Su Ze's liquid body with their sharp ends, greedily sucking Su Ze's body.
Su Ze's body in liquid form is the best nutrient for these mutated bacteria to absorb.
"Needle strike!"
Su Ze shot a "needle blow" to his legs, not to attack the hyphae attached to his legs, but to inject the "poison of weakness" into his legs.
Then, he decisively abandoned his legs and watched as his legs turned into two large pools of liquid, which were absorbed by the hyphae in an instant.
The "weakness poison" in the legs was naturally absorbed by the hyphae.
However, Su Ze was not sure whether this would be useful, because these mutated bacteria themselves were masters of playing poison, and their own poison resistance should be high, so the weak poison may not have much effect.
More hyphae were entangled towards Su Ze. Suddenly his eyes blurred, and the world seemed to have changed.
These giant mutant bacteria were elongated at once, and each one became hundreds of meters tall, but only grew a head, and they were all elongated into tall and thin bodies.
The sun in the sky has also changed into an irregular shape, and the hyphae underground are like long snakes spitting out letters.
The whole world has become abstract!
Even he seemed to fly up and float in the air, like an inflated balloon.
Hallucinogenic!
Su Ze realized that his "unyielding will" allowed him to maintain good thinking ability.
This is an illusion that directly targets the spiritual level. With his spiritual level, it will definitely not be the fourth-level mutated bacteria that can catch him.
There are indeed fifth-level mutated bacteria in the core area of the psychedelic forest!
Su Ze used the "Unyielding Will" skill to continuously strengthen the connection between the spirit and the body, and worked hard to wake himself up and get rid of the hallucinogenic effect.
At the same time, he shrinks the range of his sensing tentacles, strengthens his perception of the surroundings, and uses the real situation fed back by his sensing tentacles to compare with the images he sees in front of him to distinguish between reality and illusion.
Finally, he saw a glimpse of reality in a trance, and reality and illusion kept alternating before his eyes...
He saw a terrifying scene. During the short moment when he was affected by the illusion, countless hyphae had crawled over half of his body, and countless spores were attached to his body, using his body as a culture medium to quickly absorb nutrients. grow.
Fortunately, he is in a liquid state now. It would be too terrifying for a flesh and blood body to experience this scene.
Give up!
When it's time to break, Su Ze understands that in the current situation, he must abandon the body that is entangled with hyphae and absorbed and rooted by spores.
boom!
He unleashed a "Ten Thousand Angry Waves", and the billowing air waves raged in all directions, stunning the hyphae and spores.
The ground continued to tremble, and Su Ze finally got rid of the influence of the illusion in the shaking and regained his true vision.
He took advantage of this short period of time to start cutting off the bodies that were rooted in mycelium.
This meant that he had to give up more than half of his body, which was tantamount to a serious injury.
However, he has a strong recovery ability. As long as he remains in a fluid state, the impact of the injury can be minimized and it will take some time to heal on his own.
If that doesn't work, he can still break the regeneration core himself.
But at this moment, among the giant mutant bacteria in the core area, the giant puffball fungus on the edge suddenly made a move.
Its huge, round, snow-white fruiting body suddenly cracked open and spewed out several huge spores visible to the naked eye.
Those huge spores flew quickly and adsorbed on Su Ze's body surface.
Su Ze originally planned to discard all the body parts on his body, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He quickly completed the harvest and was about to escape.
But those giant spores quickly absorbed Su Ze's abandoned body, swelling several times in the blink of an eye and turning into round black objects, like large landmines.
not good!
Su Ze instinctively sensed danger.
Those giant spores have accumulated terrible energy and are about to explode.
At this moment, not far from Su Ze, the shadow left by Brother Ya suddenly flickered and turned into Brother Ya again.
He swapped places with his shadow clone.
Su Ze released the "expansion" skill, allowing himself to shrink in size but still maintain a liquid form. He used a "space jump" to close the distance with Brother Ya. Brother Ya also dodged and rushed over, activating the "invincible" state. .
Almost at the same time, several huge black spores exploded. The power frightened Su Ze, who was used to seeing explosions!
Some mutant bacteria that were close by were directly destroyed by the explosion. A large number of mycelium on the ground was carbonized by the high temperature of the explosion. Black smoke filled the air and dyed the entire sky black.
Su Ze and Ya Ge were at the center of the explosion, but they were safe and sound under the protection of Ya Ge's "invincible" skills.
Su Ze understood that if Brother Ya hadn't come back to help him this time, even if he wasn't resurrected, he would definitely have to break the regeneration core to save himself.
This was probably the danger that Brother Ya calculated when he told his fortune.
It was only then that he finally determined that the huge puffball was the fifth-level mutated bacteria in the forest!
After the explosion, the sky was filled with smoke and dust, like black snowflakes falling slowly. If you didn't take into account the smell of burning and unpleasant smell at the scene, it would still be a beautiful sight.
The ground was already cracked by Su Ze, and now that it has experienced this explosion, the cracks on the ground are deeper and longer. The huge cracks are like hideous scars, spreading all the way to the fifth-level puffball. below.
Previously, Su Ze would be blocked from exploring the ground with his sensory tentacles, but the large cracks opened up the entrance for him. The sensory tentacles poured in like water from these gaps, allowing him to peek into a corner of the underground.
However, just this corner made him terrified!
He saw many corpses under the giant puffball!
Each corpse was entangled with countless mycelium, mummified, or even left with only bones.
Are these the evolvers who accidentally entered the psychedelic forest and died?
Soon, Su Ze denied his guess.
Just in the corner he spied, there were dozens of corpses. Just from the size and shape of the bones, he could tell that there were old people with stooped bodies, young children who had not yet grown up, and even infants. baby.
These people cannot be hunters who go into the rainforest to hunt, let alone enter the psychedelic forest on their own initiative.
Moreover, some of the corpses did not decay very much, and it seemed that they died not long ago.
Obviously, these dead people did not walk into the psychedelic forest on their own, but were sent here.
who is it?
Su Ze already had someone to suspect.
It's either the dirty soil organization or the Cult of Evolution.
Considering that Chen Suifeng followed the Evolution Cult not long ago and discovered that they had sent a large number of refugees from the Peninsula into the Lianshui Rainforest, Su Ze was more inclined to believe that this was a good thing done by the Evolution Cult.
Maybe those bones in the ground are refugees from the peninsula country.
Su Ze accepted Chen Suifeng's commission and promised to investigate the matter. If he didn't run into it, forget it. Since he had run into it, he couldn't pretend he didn't see it.
Secondly, as a human, he still doesn't like to see other people using humans to grow mushrooms.
He decided to find out.
If it's within his power, he doesn't mind destroying this bacterial forest.
Su Ze and Brother Ya first withdrew from the core area of the bacterial forest.
"Have you caught the invisible mushroom?" Su Ze asked.
"Not yet." Brother Ya shook his head, "But I marked it."
"Keep chasing it. Don't let it escape. It will be difficult to find it by then."
"But……"
"It's okay, it's just a fifth-level mutated bacteria. I was careless just now."
Su Ze didn't let Brother Ya stay to help. Seizing the invisible mushroom and completing the "emptiness" was the most important thing to Brother Ya, and the opportunity was fleeting.
Now that the target opponent has been determined, Su Ze will naturally be prepared to deal with the fifth-level puffball.
It's not like he hasn't killed level five enemies before.
Brother Ya obviously thought of Su Ze's previous scene of fighting a fifth-level alien beast at the beach, so he nodded without saying anything more.
He had just switched places with his shadow clone to rescue Su Ze, but the existence of the shadow clone was also time-limited. If he did not switch back before the shadow clone dissipated, he would completely lose the location of the invisible mushroom.
With a flick of the brush, Brother Ya disappeared and was replaced by a dark shadow.
Su Ze also escaped from the core area of the psychedelic forest and rushed towards the periphery.
He had just given up more than half of his body, and now he was seriously injured. It would take a certain amount of time to rely on the natural recovery of the "regenerative body".
And Su Ze understood that if he wanted to deal with the mutated bacteria in the core area, especially the fifth-level puffball, his strength was still a little short of that, and he needed some support.
He decisively activated the "blood-devouring" skill, turned on all the power, and violent currents raged, turning the surrounding area into a sea of thunder and lightning.
These low-level mutated bacteria were completely powerless against his electric attack. The fruiting bodies above the ground and the mycelium underground were all electrocuted into charcoal in an instant and died completely.
These dead mutant bacteria will also be devoured by "blood-eating" and converted into flesh and blood energy for Su Ze to repair his injuries.
Any living body that dies at Su Ze's hands can be devoured and transformed by the "blood-devouring" skill, but Su Ze has only experimented with alien beasts before.
He had never even tried a spiritual plant, so this time he tried to devour the rarer mutated bacteria, which made him feel a little unsure.
But the effect of phagocytosis and transformation is actually quite good. Even compared to phagocytosis of alien beasts of the same level, the energy storage in the mutated bacteria is richer, and the transformation and absorption effect is also better.
This forest of psychedelic bacteria is not small at all, and there are countless mutated bacteria of all sizes growing in it.
Su Ze began to massacre on the periphery, using the "Thunder God's Body" to discharge electricity attacks, killing a large area with one electric shock.
As for the counterattack of these low-level mutant bacteria, he can completely ignore it.
The common weakness of mutated bacteria and spiritual plants was clearly highlighted at this time. They could not move or escape, nor could their kind from afar come to support them.
After a while, Su Ze's injuries had completely recovered.
The energy converted from the mutated bacteria that he kills later will temporarily increase his strength.
However, although this "blood-devouring" skill is powerful, it is actually very expensive. The corpses of living beings that have been devoured by "blood-devouring", whether they are alien beasts, spiritual plants, or mutated bacteria, lose their value and cannot be extracted. , and it can no longer be used as medicine.
Previously, he killed tens of thousands of strange beasts at the seaside of Lihai City, but he couldn't extract any extract.
So he didn't hold back now and directly electrocuted these mutated bacteria into coke.
Su Ze walked around the perimeter, leaving only scorch everywhere, while his combat power rose again and again.
Thousands of mutated bacteria died under his hands, and he felt that his strength was almost exhausted.
Compared with the last time he went on a killing spree at the beach, his current strength has been greatly improved. He has absorbed one more blood crystal and mastered the prototype of a new magical skill.
Now, even without the blessing of "Blood Devouring", he is still an invincible existence in the Overlord level. He does not need to increase the strength of "Blood Devouring" to the upper limit to achieve the ultimate goal of counterattack!
Su Ze transformed again and expanded into a torrent, sweeping towards the surrounding mutated bacteria and uprooting them.
He did not rush to kill these mutated bacteria, but saved them for later use to delay the "blood-devouring" skill.
The preparations were all done, and the rolling torrent rolled up turbulent waves and spread towards the core area.
As soon as he entered the core area, he was besieged. Countless hyphae came from all directions, wildly devouring the torrent that Su Ze had transformed into.
Countless spores sprayed towards him, but his "gravity field" had a very good restraint effect on the tiny spores.
While Su Ze used various skills to counterattack and kill the fungi in the ground, he grabbed the giant chicken fir closest to him and penetrated down along the pole it left on the ground.
The giant chicken fir's 100-meter-long pole and large umbrella cover left on the surface were cut off by Su Ze, but the part hidden underground is even larger.
Su Ze followed the clues and penetrated all the way into the soil to strangle every hyphae of the giant chicken cone.
He had long figured out that once he stepped into this core area and was besieged by a bunch of giant mutant bacteria, its huge body would inevitably suffer losses and be constantly injured.
He can only fight to support fighting, constantly killing these giant mutated bacteria, and relying on devouring their flesh and blood energy to repair himself and maintain his own fighting power.
So his plan is to defeat these giant mutant bacteria one by one. Every time he kills a giant mutant bacteria, he will be less besieged, and his own strength will also increase by constantly devouring these giant mutant bacteria.
Under this ebb and flow, the enemy becomes weaker and weaker, and he becomes stronger and stronger, so the chance of victory naturally becomes greater and greater.
So the first thing he picked was the giant chicken fir that he had beaten once before. The persimmon should be picked softly.
Su Ze could feel his body shrinking as it was surrounded by countless mycelium.
However, the devouring speed of these hyphae seemed to be slower than before. He suspected that the weak poison injected previously had taken effect.
He is now ignoring the siege of many mutated bacteria, just to kill this fourth-order gallinobacteria first.
Soon, the water flow he penetrated into the ground completely captured the distribution of all the hyphae of the Corysporium galliformis, and he released electric current crazily, trying to destroy these hyphae.
The tiny hyphae at the ends were instantly destroyed by the current, but the hyphae close to the main body were so tenacious that electric shock alone could not completely destroy them.
Su Ze did not hesitate to use his strongest method, the "strongest punch", which was a combination of three skills. The terrifying power immediately caused the hyphae of other mutated bacteria around him to quickly pull away.
It was at this moment that the huge puffball fungus finally took action again, spurting out several huge spores and taking root in the torrent of Su Ze's incarnation.
But Su Ze had experience this time. As soon as the giant spores took root, he decisively cut off that part of the body.
The reason why the giant spores exploded so powerfully before was because they absorbed a large amount of Su Ze's discarded bodies, but now Su Ze quickly cut them off as soon as they took root, leaving the giant spores no time to accumulate energy.
Boom!
There were several explosions in succession. The giant spores could not absorb enough energy and could only be detonated in advance, but the power was not comparable to the last time.
Although several explosions caused some damage to Su Ze, they were completely able to withstand it.
Su Ze endured the explosion, and with one "strongest punch", he completely destroyed the main hyphae of the fourth-order gallinobacteria hidden underground.
A huge amount of energy poured into Su Ze's body, replenishing all the losses he had just suffered in an instant, and making him even stronger.
"It is indeed a powerful mutant bacteria. It has much more energy than other beasts of the same level." Su Ze was pleasantly surprised. Killing a fourth-level mutant bacteria could actually absorb so much energy, which was beyond his expectations.
In this way, his plans to defeat each one will be more feasible.
Huh? What's this?
Su Ze suddenly discovered that the "blood-devouring" skill did not convert all the swallowed energy into flesh and blood energy after swallowing the fourth-level chicken fir.
The "blood-devouring" skill is powerful because it can convert all the swallowed energy into unified flesh and blood energy. This flesh and blood energy can not only repair injuries, replenish consumption, but also temporarily increase strength.
But now, there is an energy that cannot be transformed in this mutant Gallinobacteria.
A silver-gray energy appeared in Su Ze's body.
Su Ze also encountered this situation before, that is, the golden energy in the Sands of Time also cannot be transformed by the "Blood Devouring" skill.
Su Ze guessed that the energy that could not be converted was because its level was too high and beyond the scope of the "blood-devouring" skill.
