To those who were confused about the situation, Jiang Tian waved his hand gently, like swatting flies, overturning several speedboats not far from the shore and smashing them into pieces in the water; but at least some of them were left behind. The lives of the patrolmen and country soldiers on the boat gave them a chance to escape in panic.
In this way, at least for the short period of time when the subsequent team members catch up, no cats or dogs will come to disturb him.
Immediately afterwards, he immersed his thoughts in the body of the armor who quietly entered the mist. Because, the armor on Man A actually appeared, with varying degrees of corrosion and weathering; and in Jiang Tian's field of vision, a corresponding prompt also appeared: "Abnormal pollution has been detected, do you want to shield it?"
Immediately, the disintegration of the armor's body quietly stopped. However, in Ren Jia's special gray field of vision, Jiang Tian once again saw a new prompt: "The (induction/transmission) module upgrade is completed, do you want to load it?" The next moment, he chose yes without hesitation.
For an instant, Kaoren's gray vision seemed to have a flash of something, and then it became brighter and brighter. It's like there are invisible fluctuations, spreading out with the person A as the center; and the hazy feeling in the field of vision is cleared away bit by bit, revealing the edge outlines of many ground objects.
At this moment, Jiang Tian couldn't help but realize that after completing a long upgrade, the (induction/transmission) module could already enable simple area/form scanning functions. With the superposition of this special scanning ripple and gray-white field of view, more details in the miasma are revealed.
For example, there were many corpses of victims lying in the fields and roads, obviously fleeing. Judging from the attire, there are both men and women, old and young, noble and lowly; there are families supporting the elderly and the young as well as single persons. It seems that the faces full of fear and distortion at the moment of death are still retained.
However, their corpses had obviously shrunk and become shriveled and wrinkled; at the slightest touch, a piece of them cracked and fell, revealing the same shrunken interior; it seemed that something was draining their blood in an instant. The essence of the body and body has been extracted and absorbed.
Then as Ren A went deeper, a village and its continuous buildings appeared in Jiang Tian's field of vision. As expected, there were more shriveled and brittle corpses in the lifeless village. However, the vast majority of corpses did not react and maintained most of their previous forms.
Whether it is fishermen holding baskets on the streets, farmers pulling buffaloes, vendors selling slurry on push carts; or drinkers and tea drinkers in roadside restaurants and tea shops; waiters and waiters serving dishes and greeting people coming and going. The waiters, the handymen and the cooks who were adding firewood and stir-frying in the kitchen all fell to the ground.
There were also more pigs, dogs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese and other livestock that died together, as if they lost their lives after a few painful struggles in a very short period of time. However, judging from the large number of houses, flowers, plants and trees in the village, it seems that it happened a month ago, but it looks like it has been devastated by many years.
This severe sense of disharmony has been filling Person A's senses along the way. It wasn't until it passed through Xishan Town, which has the most dense population and the most bizarre forms of death, and arrived at the manor houses, villas, and gardens on the west side of the town, that I felt something different.
They were large earthen bags or irregular mud towers standing abruptly on the ground, like enlarged termite nests. If you look closely, there seems to be invisible mist rolling around on these earth bags and mud towers. Immediately, Jiang Tian used Ren A's positioning and threw out a hare caught halfway.
At the moment when this lively big rabbit fell into the smoke, it twitched, stiffened and died as if it was poisoned. Then, it went straight over the top of the person's head, and fell to the side with a slight deviation. The next moment, sudden changes occurred, and the dense clouds on the earth bags and mud towers started to move.
Like a translucent stream of light, it quickly gathered into some kind of obvious living body reaction; it then fluttered around the dead rabbit that was about to fall to the ground. In the blink of an eye, the dead rabbit wrapped in this dense stream of light quickly shrank and shriveled after tumbling several times in the air.
When it finally fell to the ground, its fur had fallen off and cracked into several pieces. Well, at least the cause of death for those who died in the Miasma has been found. At this time, Jiang Tian's vision panel also belatedly prompted: "A deeply contaminated area was found, and a mutated phototactic phage was found."
"Phototactic phage?" Jiang Tian slowly turned in his mind, and once again threw a ignited oil can from a distance; it drew a long arc and slammed into one of the seven-eight-foot-high mud canisters. On the tower. A large fire suddenly rose up, and the smoke dissipated with a creaking sound.
The mud tower that was stained and roasted by the flames fell apart in an instant, collapsing and smashing into pieces. However, the next moment, the coils and mist lingering between the earth bags and mud towers also seemed to be stimulated and attracted, converging into a large translucent stream of light and rushing towards it.
In the blink of an eye, the burning flames and grease-stained soil were rolled up into the air; they were broken down into countless tiny particles, and in an instant, the flames themselves were extinguished. At this time, Jiang Tian spent another 0.1 energy unit through Person A to load and activate the (induction/transmission) module.
Within a radius of a hundred steps in an instant, a three-dimensional structure on the ground appeared in Jiang Tian's field of vision simultaneously through waves that spread silently. Astonishingly, it was the underground part of the big earth bags and mud towers, like mycelium-like biological reactions, densely layered and intertwined in a large area.
There are also some faint light spots, which sublimate upward from time to time; supplementing and converging, they become part of the swirling clouds (phototactic phages) in the air. And this blur hidden in the miasma of smoke has spread to a large area, so that even A person cannot get around it.
But fortunately, this kind of thing only reacts to living creatures, flames, bright lights and the like; when Person A walked through it, he was completely unaware of it. Only when Man A walked to the edge, he suddenly swiped and exploded, and one of the huge earth bags suddenly turned into a stream of light and rolled down.
However, after Man A stopped moving, he rolled and circled on the spot again, rustling against the outer armor, as well as the broken black cloak and helmet tassels; he was still unable to find a target to attack. In the end, the stars dispersed little by little and returned to the large mist crawling in the air.
At this time, Talent A took great strides to move forward without any hindrance or resistance. It is obvious that the phototactic phages that have been aggregated accordingly can only react to external sound and light movements and make simple instinctive reactions mechanically. After passing through this area lined with dirt bags and mud towers.
What appeared in front of Person A was another scene; it was a world entangled and covered by milky white and light yellow mycelium. Whether they are severely decayed and collapsed buildings, dead people and animals, or extremely withered trees, they are all covered with a thin layer of mycelium.
These extremely slippery and sticky hyphae become denser and thicker as they go further into the island; so much so that it becomes increasingly difficult for the armored man to find a clean foothold in the river. There was even a layer of spores attached to Armor Man's body armor at some point.
Like frost flowers condensed by night dew, traces of coils grow and penetrate inside, turning the person A into mottled colors that are in tune with the surrounding environment. Finally, under a colorful covering of mycelium, Man A spent some time finding the symbol of the Linwu Cave - Shenyou Guanshi.
But I found that this place is no longer a prestigious religious temple; it is more like a small rainforest overgrown with fungi. Giant fungi of various colors and shapes cover the simple mottled gates and high walls, the gorgeous and solemn palaces, pavilions, shrines and statues.
In particular, the tallest building among them is the eight-sided pillar pagoda hall that is routinely dedicated to Emperor Xuanyuan (Laozi); thick mycelium is like a hanging waterfall, as big as the top of a pavilion and as small as a thatch cover; almost Every bracket, beam, column, and corner of the eaves is covered tightly.
It's like a hillock full of fungi. And among these large and small fungi, there is also a dense and dense atmosphere. But what shocked Jiang Tian even more was that in Ren A's gray field of vision, there were actually some huge mushrooms that were alive, or had humanoid biological responses.
After careful observation from normal vision, we can find some exposed fabric fragments, which seem to be some suspected Taoist robes; obviously, these are the first batch of Benguan Taoist priests to be victimized. It was actually eaten alive by the mycelium and turned into such a huge giant toadstool.
And behind the Divine Blessing Temple, which is covered with large and small mushrooms, the place known as the Forest House Cave, together with a large area of mountains, rocks and dead trees, seems to be severely distorted by a colorful carpet of mushrooms. So much so that in normal vision, the entrance to the cave cannot be found at all.
However, under the scanning of the re-excitation (induction/transmission) module, countless veins full of biological reactions converged all the way to the foot of the mountain, into the thickest network of light spots. Obviously, this is where the survivors said the source of the initial mutation was.
But then, after the armor controlled by Jiang Tian cleaned up and covered up the thick mycelium and the wildly proliferating fungi at the entrance, his own expression suddenly darkened. Because here he saw some strange beings that were obviously not human and should not belong here.
Those were the huge ferocious beasts and sharp-toothed ghosts that were penetrated into the mouth, nose and other orifices by the densely packed hyphae at the entrance; they were just motionless embedded in the large carpets and fungus blocks, and the exposed parts were also Covered with mildew and raised knobs, most of which are long dead.
Only corpses that had been eroded to the point of being hollow and rotten to the bone were left; but some of them actually still had active characteristics. This thing obviously didn't appear out of thin air. Let's think of the missing official ship that I accidentally saw in the ruins of another city in the lake.
Many dormant clues and conjectures have been connected again. For example, are there secret organizations and underground societies related to animal worship, trying to use special living sacrifice methods to attract or release special beings in these abnormal areas? To create more chaos and unrest?
