Whether it's hunting or imitation, they are just the habits of fungi. They can be understood as its mutated instincts. There is no need to look at it too mysteriously. In addition, it is still a fungus no matter how it mutates. It is impossible to imitate human thinking, let alone escape from its own nest. foggy forest.
"Otherwise we should go out." Siming frowned and said: "This place is too weird. If we continue walking without knowing what dangers we will encounter, I would rather give up passing the customs."
"Now it's no longer a question of whether to pass the customs or not," Zhuo Wangsun said: "Can we still leave here?"
The gap they passed through just now has been filled with mycelium. There are not so many hanging stone roads where they are now, and there is no exit going up.
He kept looking at Xu Huo as he spoke.
Zhuo Wangsun has already cleared the level, and he knows that the reason why Siming and the female player did not clear the level is definitely not because they did not find the right place, but because they did not kill ten soldiers from the blue camp on the way here.
This is actually not difficult to understand. These two people probably killed ten people at the beginning. They thought they had completed the first mission. They walked all the way through the canyon to the fog forest. They avoided the dangers they encountered on the way if they could, so when they arrived We haven't even gathered ten people yet, so of course you can't pass the level no matter where you place the flag.
But Xu Huo can clear the level at any time.
Since he could leave at any time, Xu Huo had no intention of leaving so quickly. He agreed with Siming's words and looked for an exit. There was no way to return to the original road and he couldn't find any ready-made one, so he simply set fire to it all the way.
Mycelium is not easy to burn, but it is not difficult to create a passage for several people to pass through.
The four of them wandered around the cave, wherever they went.
Xu Huo led the way, ignoring Siming's suggestions several times. He exchanged glances with the female player, and saw that Zhuo Wangsun was silent again, so he gradually calmed down.
About two hours later, they found "bodies" wrapped in mycelium again, and this time there were a lot of them.
The lair at this time was no longer as spacious as the place where they came down, and it was only about twenty meters in front and back, but there were more than ten "corpses" wrapped on the stone walls. These "corpses" looked lifelike, and their limbs and bodies were also becoming more complete.
Continuing forward, a similar nest appears again.
"These look like culture chambers." Zhuo Wangsun said thoughtfully: "Is the fungus really making humans?"
Xu Huo cut open a "corpse". It was no longer hollow like the mycelium imitating Siming just now. It could roll when it fell to the ground, and its weight seemed to be similar to a real head.
Turning the head over to take a look, it was filled with dough-like mycelium, as if it had become an entity.
The same goes for the neck and interior of the "corpse."
The four of them were somewhat silent, but at this moment Xu Huo suddenly looked at a branch of the nest. The hyphae inside were trembling, as if something was trying to struggle out.
Zhuo, Wang, and Sun were on guard immediately, but when the hyphae were torn off, a familiar face came out.
"Xin Hui!" Zhuo Wangsun was surprised.
Xin Hui on the opposite side also showed a surprised look, and then her face was full of joy.
"Do you know each other?" the female player asked.
"Players I met on the road." Zhuo Wangsun introduced them and asked Xin Hui, "Why did you suddenly disappear?"
"I saw a dark shadow in the woods and ran after it. Unexpectedly, I missed my step and fell down. I have been going round and round until now. Did you also fall down accidentally?" Xin Hui said.
"Have you found the exit?" Xu Huo asked.
Xin Hui shook his head and asked if they had a clue.
Zhuo Wangsun was wary of her and didn't speak too clearly. He just talked about the strange things in the lair.
The "corpse" was placed in front of her, and Xin Hui looked very worried, "Some places I just passed were filled with dust-like spores. I don't know if these fungi are poisonous."
"Nothing is surprising." Siming asked Xin Hui if he had passed the customs.
Xin Hui glanced at Xu Huo and the two, shook his head in denial, and brought the topic back to the road to find out.
"Actually, I have a stupid idea." Xu Huo said slowly, "That is to burn this underground lair clean with a fire."
"This can effectively remove the mycelium and destroy these things that look like humans." He said: "No matter whether this thing can move or not, it is definitely not a good thing to let it continue to grow. Removing these fungi can make it easier to pass the level. There’s no telling how many points it will be.”
"It makes sense." Zhuo Wangsun said immediately: "Even if we can't get rid of them all, we can burn an exit from here."
"This is not good." The female player hesitated and said: "What if these fungi are stimulated?"
Xin Hui pursed her lips and said, "These fungi have mutated. Will they emit poisonous mist when stimulated? Protective clothing cannot guarantee 100% safety."
"It's not too late to wait until we find the exit." Siming said: "So many soldiers in the cleaning area are carrying explosives. Even if they can't burn the mycelium, they can just blow up the entrance."
Before they could go out, they discussed destroying the underground lair. After a while, Xin Hui said, "At least go out first."
The group of five people returned to the road to find the exit again, but not long after walking, the female player said with confusion: "Did you hear that?"
"It's the sound of hyphae moving." Xu Huo cut off a piece of film. The hyphae inside were extremely active, squirming like flesh worms.
Xin Hui stared at the mycelium on the ground, and suddenly moved to the side. With a "pop", a pool of black liquid hit the ground, and there was a "chichi" sound.
The faces of several people changed, and they looked up, only to find that the mycelium on the stone wall was shrinking and concentrating unknowingly, and the suspended parts hung heavily. Black liquid slowly dripped out from where the mycelial knots accumulated.
"Toxic!" Xin Hui immediately covered her mouth and nose, then took out a gas mask and put it on.
Xu Huo and the others had been closely guarding themselves, so they saved their time and ran forward before the black liquid fell over a large area!
In just a few seconds, venom continued to fall like raindrops. Several people ran forward, regardless of whether there was hyphae in the passage. Whenever there was a fork in the road, they would put their backpacks upright in front and hit them directly.
During this period, Zhuo Wangsun was stuck under a narrow stone path. The few people behind him couldn't get in and had to turn to other intersections. After running around in a panic for a few times, all five people got separated.
Xin Hui rushed out of the Poison Rain Zone in one breath and ducked into a low cave passage. The cave was a bit like a dog cave. She didn't know how deep it was. However, after she entered, she crawled in with all her strength, and soon she was Going out from the other end, there is a relatively clean cave. There is no accumulation of poisonous rain on the stone walls, and no fungi and "corpses" of different colors can be seen.
She stood up and patted the dirt on her body. She picked up her backpack and was about to leave. But as soon as she stepped out, she suddenly stopped. She turned around suddenly and found that Xu Huo was standing behind her!
