Evolve from cloning

"The front is the psychedelic fungus forest. Our local hunters basically don't dare to get close to it. At most, they only dare to walk around the periphery to pick up some low-level mutant bacteria and sell them back. Alien beasts dare not enter." Draco introduced.

Su Ze looked forward, and all he saw were colorful mushrooms of different sizes.

Most of them are colorful and have strange shapes, some are umbrella-shaped, some are spherical, some are ear-shaped, arrow-shaped, coral-shaped, flame-shaped...

The big ones are tens of meters high, like a big house propped up in the air.

The small one is only as big as a fingernail, pocket-sized but delicate.

Such a beautiful scene is like a fairy tale world.

But under this beauty, there is a murderous intent hidden. The brighter the mushroom, the more dangerous it is, just like a woman.

Mutant bacteria are a very special kind of existence, they are neither alien beasts nor spiritual plants.

In people's general impression, they are more plant-like, have roots, can absorb nutrients, and many fungi grow in the soil.

In fact, in the evolutionary relationship, they are more animal.

However, in terms of evolution, the role of mutant bacteria is still more inclined to spiritual plants. Their extracts cannot be absorbed by humans, but many mutant bacteria can be used as medicine, and some are even precious natural medicines.

Brother Ya grew up in Weta City, and he knows the psychedelic fungus forest very well. He said to Su Ze: "Boss, there are at least one fourth-order mutant bacteria in this psychedelic fungus forest, and maybe there are fifth-order mutant bacteria." , we'd better be careful."

Su Ze nodded, not taking it lightly.

The attack methods of mutant bacteria are strange and difficult to guard against. They have toxin attacks, hallucinogenic mental attacks, and can also spray spores to attack.

"You take us to the place where you found the body first." Su Ze ordered Draco.

He planned to ask Ya Ge to send Draco back after Draco finished pointing the way.

Carrying such an oil bottle is really troublesome.

Draco took the lead and walked in front, Su Ze followed and walked into the fungus forest.

Yage said: "Boss, hold your breath so as not to inhale the spores."

Draco looked at Brother Ya in surprise, he didn't expect this person to know so much about psychedelic fungi, and he seemed to have a lot of experience.

Although the psychedelic fungus forest is dangerous, it is only on the periphery, and of course it does not pose any threat to the two overlords, Su Ze and Ya Ge.

During this period, some mutated bacteria used methods such as poisoning and hallucinations, which were completely ignored by Su Ze and Ya Ge, and mutated bacteria rarely used physical attacks.

As for Draco, under the protection of the two, he was not affected in any way, and he found the place where he found the body very smoothly.

"Here it is!" Draco said, pointing to a clearing.

This is barely the periphery of the psychedelic fungus forest, and most of the surroundings are first- and second-order mutant bacteria.

Su Ze looked around, and it looked no different from other places. After more than ten years, there were no traces on the ground.

As for the corpse, it was long gone.

"Do you have any other information about the corpse at that time? Such as approximate age, strength, gender..." Su Ze asked.

Draco thought for a while, and replied: "Looking at the size of the skeleton, there is a high probability that it is a male. The corpse is highly decomposed. I am not sure about the age, and there is no way to know the strength, but judging from the level of the evolutionary items in his storage items Look, he is at least a strong man in the butterfly stage.

"By the way, he's a black person."

"Black people, did they come from Yandi Continent again?" Su Ze was thoughtful.

Next, he asked about the details of the transaction between Draco and the Dirt Organization, the time, place and contact information, etc., and Draco answered them one by one.

Seeing that he couldn't ask more questions, Su Ze took out the "Charming Foxtail" and gently fanned Draco to hypnotize him.

The main effect of "Charming Foxtail" is to exert a spiritual influence on the target, which can completely achieve the effect of hypnosis, but this hypnotic effect may not be permanently effective, but for Draco, a non-spiritual evolutionary who is breaking out of the cocoon, The effect lasts at least a few months.

A few months is enough, and Su Ze doesn't plan to keep Draco as a pawn for a long time, but just wants to use him to catch some bugs from dirty organizations.

Under the effect of hypnosis, Draco temporarily forgot everything that happened just now, and his memory still stayed at the moment when he turned on the TV to watch cartoons.

Draco fell into a deep sleep, and when he woke up, he would find himself still lying on the big comfortable bed in his villa.

Ya Ge was responsible for sending Draco back, while Su Ze waited for Ya Ge to come back.

He wasn't idle either, using his sensory tentacles to explore the surroundings, gradually covering the entire psychedelic fungus forest.

The area of ​​the psychedelic fungus forest is not small, but Su Ze's sensory tentacles can still easily cover it. According to Ya Ge, there are at most fifth-order mutant bacteria in this fungus forest. He is not worried that his sensory tentacles will be discovered .

The psychedelic fungus forest under the sensory tentacles is very different from what can be observed with the naked eye. The air deep in the fungus forest is full of various spores.

Even where he was, there were clusters of spores approaching him from time to time, but he used a little gravitational force to prevent these spores from getting close.

There are almost no strange animals in the fungus forest, not even ordinary animals, but there are many big trees, all of which are spiritual plants.

But in the bacteria forest, they are just the culture medium parasitized by various mutant bacteria.

In the depths of the bacteria forest, there are a few huge mutant bacteria, which are not easy to mess with at first glance.

There are pure white spherical puffballs with a diameter of tens of meters, there are giant mushrooms that are comparable to a courtyard, there are puffy mushrooms that are as big as a building, and there are giant chicken firs that are nearly 100 meters high...

To be on the safe side, Su Ze didn't provoke them, and all the sensory tentacles avoided them.

Su Ze carefully checked every part of the fungus forest, trying to find some clues, but after a general search, there was nothing.

He also didn't rush into the bacteria forest, and planned to wait for Brother Ya to come back to explore.

In less than ten minutes, Brother Ya left and returned.

Su Ze told Brother Ya about his guess about the origin of "Nothingness".

Brother Ya nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Su Ze's speculation, and asked, "Brother, what are your plans? Draco discovered that corpse more than ten years ago, and there are no clues in the forest now, right? "

Fungi are decomposers in nature. In this forest full of mutant bacteria, no matter what clues there are, after so many years, there must be no traces to be found.

Su Ze didn't answer, but asked instead: "Brother Ya, do you feel that your 'Nullness' skill has some abilities that you can't sense yourself, or is it a hidden effect?"

"Of course, it's strange that I can't absorb attack skills." Ya Ge scratched his head and said, "Obviously the effect of the 'None' skill doesn't insulate me from attack skills, or protect my life. The skills are friendly, but I feel that this is not my natural physique, but a side effect of my absorbing the 'nothingness' skill."

"Is there anything else?" Su Ze asked.

Brother Ya thought about it seriously, and said: "Also, the same life-saving and escape skills seem to be more effective than others when I use them. Take the earth escape skill as an example, I escape faster than others, and even better than others. Deep, even with flying skills, I can fly faster than others.”

Su Ze said: "My 'Evolution Divine Grace' skill was the same before it was completed. It has many abilities beyond the effect of the skill. Understand that these abilities do not come from the 'evolutionary grace' skills, but from that blood crystallization."

Ya Ge's complexion changed slightly, and he said, "Boss, what do you mean, my 'Nothingness' skill is also incomplete?"

Su Ze nodded: "To be precise, you may not have absorbed the complete blood crystal.

"The blood crystals you absorbed should be of the same type as my golden blood crystals, but you may have absorbed more than mine, so even if you became a holy-level overlord, your skills did not slow you down.

"There is another reason for my speculation. I don't know if you noticed, but Draco said that when he found the rotting corpse, the corpse was mutilated, only half of it!"

Brother Ya suddenly understood what Su Ze meant.

If the corpse was divided into two parts before the blood vein crystals were separated, then the blood vein crystals separated from the corpse should also be divided into two parts and scattered in two places.

And the blood crystals he absorbed through the coprophagia extract may be only part of it.

Brother Ya thought seriously, then nodded and said: "Boss, when you say this, I do sometimes feel that my 'Nullness' skill seems to have some effects that have not been tapped.

"After I completed the fourth evolution, I have been looking for materials to upgrade other skills, but the 'void' skill does not need to be upgraded. It is beyond the scope of fourth-level or even fifth-level skills, but I can feel that after I become After the holy level, this skill should have the effect of 'bringing people together to blur', but I failed several times."

Su Ze nodded slightly, and continued: "If my guess is true, then I can guess where the other part of the blood crystallized is. In the magic fungus forest, it was swallowed and absorbed by a strange beast, and the third is still buried somewhere in the magic fungus forest."

Regarding his most important skills, Brother Ya also paid attention to it, and followed Su Ze to look for clues around him.

He and Su Ze divided the operations. Su Ze was responsible for searching the above-ground and shallow underground layers with his sensory tentacles, while Ya Ge was responsible for searching the deep underground.

But the two searched the entire psychedelic forest, but found nothing.

Except for the few big guys in the core area, they didn't come close to search.

Ya Ge smiled wryly and said, "It seems that it is not here anymore, it was probably swallowed by a strange beast, or found and taken away by that black filthy man."

Su Ze pointed to the direction of the core area, and said, "The surroundings of those big guys haven't been searched yet."

Brother Ya shook his head and said: "The core area is too dangerous, let's forget it. When I was underground, I thought about going to the core area to explore, but the underground soil is covered with dense mycelium, which is more dense than the ground. Danger.

"Those big guys are at least fourth-order mutant bacteria, and there may even be fifth-order mutant bacteria. Let's explore later when we are stronger."

Su Ze said: "Since the underground is more dangerous, we will enter from the front of the ground. You should do the fortune telling me first to see if there is any danger."

After hearing the words, Yage no longer persisted, and decided to progress into the core area based on the fortune-telling results.

As the master of the "Danger Warning" skill, he doesn't need to tell his own fortune. Every time danger comes, he will sense it.

Now he didn't feel any danger, at least it proved that the few giant mutant bacteria in the core area couldn't threaten his life.

The main thing is to test and see if Su Ze is in danger.

A faint red light shines from the center of Su Ze's eyebrows...

The red light is very weak, which means that there is danger, but the danger is not great, and it can be completely resolved and overcome.

"Or forget it." Ya Ge shook his head and said.

He didn't want Su Ze to risk himself for his sake.

"What are you afraid of in this danger? If you don't take risks, there will be no gains. Try it first." Su Ze said, "And with you protecting me, who can kill me unless I am a legendary powerhouse? Even if I am really unlucky, There are statues of flesh and blood that can be resurrected."

Seeing what Su Ze said, Ya Ge stopped persuading, and the two made some preparations and headed towards the core of the psychedelic fungus forest.

Along the way, mutated bacteria continued to attack the two of them, and Su Ze immediately exploded in momentum. The oppression of life belonging to the holy-level overlord made these mutated bacteria that did not reach the holy level shiver, and curled up into a ball.

There were those who were not afraid of death and dared to attack them, so he went directly to "picking mushrooms", turned into a young man picking mushrooms, pulled out five or six mutant bacteria in a row, and immediately made the whole forest of bacteria quiet.

These mutated bacteria also have a certain degree of wisdom. When they realize that the enemy is strong, they will not take the initiative to seek death.

Finally, the two walked all the way outside the core area.

Looking at the giant mutant bacteria in front of him, Su Ze did not attack rashly.

He didn't come to pick mushrooms, he just came to help Yage find the remaining blood crystals, but if these mushrooms tried to stop him, he would have no choice but to destroy the mushrooms.

Su Ze is actually not afraid of the fourth-order mutant bacteria, but he is not sure whether there are fifth-order mutant bacteria among these giant mutant bacteria.

Su Ze and the others made a lot of noise along the way. These giant mutant bacteria must have known the existence of the two of them, but at this time they were all quiet and did not take the initiative to attack Su Ze and Ya Ge.

Su Ze did not step into the core area, but covered the core area with sensory tentacles, searching a little bit, which is actually a kind of temptation.

He not only wanted to explore the surface, but also explored the ground with his sensory tentacles, and even penetrated into the bodies of these mutated bacteria to explore.

Such a large mutant bacteria, each flower is equivalent to a small house, which can store a lot of things, maybe the half of the blood crystal that Ya Ge needs is hidden in the canopy folds of a mutant bacteria.

Generally speaking, these mutated bacteria cannot perceive Su Ze's sensory tentacles, but they will inevitably be noticed when they invade the opponent's body.

But what surprised Su Ze was that his sensory tentacles were blocked back!

Exploring underground, it was blocked by invisible energy, and it penetrated into the mutated bacteria, but it was also blocked.

This situation is not common.

There are not many things that can block his perception tentacles. After the "Eye of Reality" skill is upgraded, only the barrier propped up by Xinwang sponge can resist his perception tentacles.

Could it be that there are sixth-order or even god-level mutant bacteria in it?

Su Ze thinks it should be impossible.

He swelled up, split out a liquid clone, and flowed towards the core area.

This avatar maintained its liquid form, turned into a puddle of water and spread it on the ground, spreading continuously, covering a wider and wider area.

Since the sensory tentacles cannot be explored, he uses the simplest method to perceive and explore with his own body.

At this moment, those giant mutated bacteria finally couldn't bear it anymore and started to attack.

Under the ground, mycelium drilled out one by one, pierced into the liquid avatar, extracting all the energy in the avatar.

Su Ze also controlled the liquid avatar to rise up directly, split into three, and spread out quickly.

The three liquid avatars swelled up again, and at the same time used "Raging Waves Ten Thousand Heavy", the billowing air waves raged, covering all the mutant bacteria in the core area.

The green light of evolution lit up in these mutated bacteria one after another, and they used various methods to defend themselves against the attack of the "raging waves".

And at the same time launched a counterattack against Su Ze's liquid clone.

Numerous hyphae wrapped around the three liquid clones, and mutant bacteria spewed out a series of spores, which took root on the liquid clones, sucking up all the liquid clones in the blink of an eye.

Su Ze was also affected by the loss of his liquid avatar, but he was relieved at this time. These giant mutant bacteria he tested out were only fourth-order.

At the fourth level, he can hang a hammer.

However, there are still two or three giant mutant bacteria that have not been attacked by his liquid clone just now, so their strength is still uncertain.

Will there be a fifth-order existence among those two or three giant mutant bacteria?

Su Ze suddenly looked towards a corner, where there was a small, ordinary-looking mushroom.

It is only the size of a fist, and its color is not bright. It looks almost the same as the mushrooms that people usually eat.

But Su Ze clearly remembered that there were no mushrooms in that position!

After a little thought, he realized that it was an invisible mushroom.

Because the mutated bacteria in the core area can block Su Ze's sensory tentacles from exploring, Su Ze didn't notice this little mushroom before.

After the upgrade of "Raging Waves", it has the effect of making invisible units visible, which directly makes this invisible mushroom show its original shape.

At this moment, the little mushroom disappeared again and regained its invisible state.

However, Su Ze's sensory tentacles clearly sensed that the invisibility mushroom rose from the ground, stabbing towards Su Ze like a sharp sword.

Still a mobile assassin mushroom!

A crystal sword appeared in Su Ze's hand, and he slashed at the invisible mushroom.

When there was a sound, Su Ze's tiger's mouth went numb. Unexpectedly, this little mushroom was strong enough, and it was hard enough that the crystal sword couldn't hurt it.

The stealth mushroom was extremely fast, like a well-trained assassin, stabbing at Su Ze again from a tricky angle.

Su Ze activated "Ant Power", and used the crystal sword to use "needle strike" to stab the invisible mushroom.

But at this moment, the invisible mushroom suddenly disappeared from Su Ze's perception!

It seemed to just disappear out of thin air, and even the sensory tentacles couldn't catch its existence.

Su Ze's heart froze, and his whole body immediately liquefied. At the same time, he felt a small mushroom quickly condense on top of his head, stabbing towards the back of his head.

The stealth mushroom pierced into Su Ze's head, but now Su Ze is in liquid form. In this state, he has strong resistance to physical attacks.

The stealth mushroom passed through Su Ze's body. The strong impact and friction vaporized part of Su Ze's body, but it was a minor injury at best and did not affect him.

Missing a hit, the invisibility mushroom flew towards the core like a bolt of lightning.

"Brother Ya, hold it!" Su Ze shouted quickly, and at the same time released an electric current to track the invisible mushroom, and also pointed the way for Brother Ya.

Just now with the invisibility mushroom, Su Ze immediately thought of Ya Ge's "Nothingness" skill.

That is, only the "void" skill can disappear in front of his face, making it impossible for his sensory tentacles to catch it.

This convinced Su Ze that the remaining blood crystals were probably inside the invisible mushroom!

However, the "Nothingness" skill also has a flaw, that is, the CD is long, and it cannot be used again for a short time after it has just been used.

So they had to take advantage of the cooldown period of this skill to take down the invisibility mushroom.
