"Are you going back again?" The female player rubbed her arms, walked to the edge of the hanging rock, looked down, and then quickly retracted, "I think it's still very deep."
"But there seems to be no other way up there." Zhuo Wangsun looked back and forth.
The place they were in was actually a giant oval abdominal cavity, with a narrow passage in the front and back, but it was basically blocked by hyphae. I had used something to probe it before, and it was at least several meters thick and sticky.
make life difficult for.
"I'm not dazzled." Siming suddenly pointed to a place above, "There seems to be someone waving to us there."
"There is a figure!" the female player shouted with her hands in the shape of a trumpet, "Who are you? Have you found the way?"
The figure did not respond. He kept his original movements and waved unhurriedly, then turned around and disappeared behind the stone wall.
"That shouldn't be a human being." Zhuo Wangsun subconsciously looked at Xu Huo. This figure was different from the figure they saw in the foggy forest just now. This one was much more flexible and could wave!
The distance was too far and the light was dim. They could not see clearly, but Xu Huo could see clearly. It was indeed not a human being, but a human model made of mycelium. The details were not lifelike, but it could wave.
The walking movements are indeed amazing, and the mutation is really powerful to this extent.
"You have bad intentions, do you want to follow?" The female player asked for their opinions. Neither she nor Siming took Zhuo Wangsun's words seriously.
"Four against one, we have a chance of winning." Xu Huo said this and accelerated back the way he came.
The four of them ran all the way to the place where the figure was standing. After looking around, they found that he was standing on the side again, maintaining the same posture and waving to them.
The four of them exchanged glances and caught up again, and then the figure appeared higher up for the third time.
Finally, it wasn't until they returned to a place more than ten meters above the ground that the figure dove into the gap ahead.
Xu Huo walked over and lifted it up with his sword, only to find that there was a one-meter-high passage inside the mycelium cocoon. A person could bend down to pass through it. Although he couldn't see the depth, there was airflow running through it, so it should be passable.
.
He walked in first without waiting for the other three.
This corridor was only more than ten meters long. After passing through it, there was a giant round cavity in front of it that looked roughly the same as before. The figure who greeted them was still waving at them.
Zhuo Wangsun and the female player came out one after another and were furious when they saw the figure. The latter asked: "What on earth is he going to do?"
Zhuo Wangsun said: "I think it is deliberately leading us into a trap, otherwise we should retreat first?"
"Pull me up!" Siming exclaimed while he was still in the corridor. Zhuo Wangsun subconsciously grabbed his outstretched hand, but he almost pulled him back. It was Xu Huo who stretched out his hand to hold him down and pulled Siming away smoothly.
brought it up.
After being pulled out, Siming's body was covered with white mycelium, and a sticky substance like sugar threads was pulled out from his back. The tunnel behind him was obviously blocked because of these mycelium on his body!
Zhuo Wangsun used a knife to chop, but the knife got stuck, so he had to ask Siming to take off his protective clothing. Unexpectedly, the outside of his protective clothing was also stuck and he couldn't take it off. In addition, the hyphae on his feet were connected to the ground.
It seems that the growth instinct has been triggered, and it started to grow along the ground!
Siming stood there unable to move, and he didn't dare to fall to the ground. He said anxiously: "I have detergent, let's see if it works!"
Taking out the detergent with his hand that was not stained with mycelium, Zhuo Wangsun quickly opened it and poured it on him, and the hyphae fell off in large pieces like fur.
Unfortunately, one bottle was not enough, and the hair removal was only half done.
Siming looked at the three people around him and said, "I can buy it, I have white money."
The female player gave him a bottle, and Zhuo Wangsun also took a bottle, and then all the hyphae on his body were washed away. The hyphae that fell out did not die, but began to grow from the ground, and in the blink of an eye they were like those behind him.
Thick mycelium walls connect them together.
The few people stepped back, and Zhuo Wangsun said in surprise: "If I had been a step slower just now, I would have grown in and never thought of getting out!"
Siming was also frightened. He looked at the man who was still waving in the distance. He set up his gun and fired at the opposite side. He only heard the sound of bullets hitting the stone wall and the soil. Then the figure fell down, and at the same time, the bacteria behind him
Silk poured down like water, quickly covering it up and dragging it in.
By the time the four of them chased after him, the human figure had been completely swallowed into the mycelium.
Siming was so angry that he picked up his knife and slashed wildly on it. Unfortunately, he only lost one knife in the end and did not see the real person.
Before his anger subsided, the female player reached out and patted his shoulder, pointing to the bottom of the hanging stone, "Look."
Several people lowered their heads - there was another person standing over there, still waving to them.
The female player rubbed her face and said, "It seems like we are closer this time."
Siming and Zhuo Wangsun both looked ugly.
At this time, Xu Huo took two steps forward, pulled out his long sword and swung it in the air. The cross section formed by the sword energy crossed the space and penetrated the body of the figure. The figure was split into two in an instant, but was then wiped out by bacteria.
Swallow the silk.
"I can see clearly this time, it's not a human at all!" the female player said: "It's empty inside!"
"What on earth is that!" Zhuo Wangsun had wanted to ask for a long time. "You don't even know how to deceive us, but you also know how to cut off the escape route and cover up the traces. What fungi can do?"
"Is there someone hiding in the dark to deal with us?" Siming also asked.
"Probably not." Xu Huo looked around, "The hyphae are very active. It is not difficult to swallow several people if they move. If other players want to kill us, there is no need to use such a roundabout method."
"Is it possible that the fungus can become a spirit?" The female player snorted.
"It's imitating us." Xu Huo's voice was deep. He had only encountered "human figures" twice, but his ability to imitate them had improved by leaps and bounds, whether it was when Zhuo Wangsun fell into a hole on the ground or he was seduced many times just now.
They go deep, and the actual purpose is to imitate and learn.
He poured wine into the passage ahead and set fire to it. When the passage burned through, he walked over and took a look, and found that there was a person wrapped in the mycelium on the stone wall inside. There was a mycelial film between his head and face, and he could barely see his face:
"Si Ming!" The female player was surprised. She turned back to look at Si Ming standing behind her, "Are you real or fake?"
Siming was shocked, but before he could argue, Xu Huo cut off the mycelium-wrapped head with his sword.
The empty head deflated like a balloon after breaking away from the support of the neck, turning into a puddle of soft matter hanging inside, and was later swallowed and covered by the shrinking fungus.
Zhuo Wangsun swallowed his saliva, "They are imitating more and more like real people."
"Do you think they lured us down on purpose, ate us, and pretended to be us?" The female player's imagination was wide open.
