Chapter 775 Jellyfish

Zhou Wen and Li Mobai looked at each other in bewilderment. If they wanted to go to the Valley of No Return, they could only go through the Flower River. However, they didn't understand the situation of the Flower River clearly, and the chance of death if they rashly entered it was too high.

"Master Gu, can you take us to the Flower River to take a look?" Li Mobai asked.

"No problem, but please forgive me, I can't take you into Huahe." Gu Shanshui made it clear that even if they arrived at Huahe, he would never go in.

Li Mobai promised Gu Shanshui that he would only take them to the vicinity of Huahe River. He wanted to go and see the situation of Huahe River first.

Zhou Wen also wanted to go and see the situation in Huahe. He had come here with great difficulty, and he felt reluctant to go back just like that.

Gu Shanshui led them to Huahe. They walked on jungle trails along the way and there was no road at all. Gu Shanshui led two young men from the Gu family to lead the way, and Zhou Wen, Li Mobai and others followed behind.

Zhou Wen used his ability to listen carefully, taking in everything nearby, and asked Tai Sui to use his mimicry ability to transform into the appearance of a bird.

After Tai Sui changed its form, it looked exactly like the bird, except that it was white. It and the bird stood on Zhou Wen's shoulders, one on each side.

Zhou Wen was afraid that the antelope guy would follow him out and cause trouble again, so he didn't bring it out this time. He had already contacted Ansheng to help send food to it to prevent it from causing trouble in the academy.

According to Dugu Chong, the bird should have the blood of the phoenix, which has a very good inhibitory effect on the poisonous insects. Tai Sui also has a strong inhibitory effect on micro-dimensional creatures. This is an important reason why Zhou Wen dared to come to the South District.

"Put on your gas masks." Gu Shanshui stopped and took out the gas masks and gave them to Zhou Wen and the others.

Zhou Wen and the others put on their gas masks. Gu Shanshui glanced at the two birds on Zhou Wen's shoulders and said, "Put away the companion pets too."

Zhou Wen put them into his backpack and did not take them back. Firstly, the bird was not a companion pet and could not be taken back. Secondly, Tai Sui also needed to stay outside to ensure that Zhou Wen would not be invaded by the miniature companion pets, so naturally he could not take it back.

Gu Shanshui naturally saw this scene, but he didn't say anything. However, the two young men from the Gu family curled their lips, as if they despised Zhou Wen's behavior, but they didn't say anything.

As everyone continued to move forward, Zhou Wen soon understood why Gu Shanshui asked them to wear gas masks. There were a lot of fungi here, and spores were floating everywhere, like mist.

These fungi are all original creatures on Earth. They have mutated due to the influence of the dimensional storm. Although they have not reached the level of dimensional creatures, the spores they emit can cause great harm to the human body if they enter the respiratory tract. The key is that if they stay in the body, it is difficult to treat.

Tai Sui is naturally not afraid of these spores, and it has no appetite for them. It is probably because the energy of these spores is too low and Tai Sui no longer takes them seriously.

The bird is also not afraid of these spores. Once any foreign microorganisms enter its body, they will be refined by the Phoenix Flame in its body. Otherwise, the Phoenix would not be the nemesis of the poisonous insect.

Zhou Wen asked the two of them to stay in the backpack and not come out. As the group walked in the woods, they were soon covered with a layer of dust, which was actually a large number of spores.

Various kinds of fungi can be seen everywhere on the ground and on dead trees. Many of the trees here have died and become a paradise for the growth of fungi.

Fortunately, the spores here are somewhat different from the parasitic spores in the Longmen Grottoes. The parasitic spores themselves are independent dimensional organisms, while these spores are just part of the fungal mother body.

Even so, if an unprepared person enters the area and inhales a large number of spores, their lungs and entire respiratory system will be destroyed.

Suddenly, Zhou Wen discovered a corpse on the ground in front of him. Judging from his clothes, he was not a local of Mengsa. His body had already rotted and a very strange fungus grew on it.

It looked like a bunch of egg-sized jellyfish growing on the corpse, transparent and colorless. Although the mushrooms looked beautiful, it was creepy to see them growing on the corpse.

"Don't move, Gu Lou, go and take a look." Gu Shanshui said to one of the young men.

The young man responded and summoned a palm-sized black scorpion companion pet, letting it slowly approach the corpse, crawl onto the corpse, and then to a jellyfish-like mushroom.

Gu Lou looked at Gu Shanshui, who nodded slightly. Then he ordered the black scorpion to use its tail to stab the jellyfish-like mushroom.

Bang!

After the mushroom was pierced, it burst like a water ball, but what burst out was not water, but countless transparent spores.

"Retreat!" Gu Shanshui grabbed Gu Lou and another young man named Gu He and threw them behind. He took a step forward and sprayed a breath of fire towards the spores.

When the flames encountered the spores, they exploded like gasoline, burning most of the spores in an instant, but a few spores still spread.

Gu Lou and Gu He also used fire-type companion pets to burn to death those spores that had escaped.

However, the black scorpion companion pet had been invaded by spores. It no longer paid attention to Gu Lou's orders and crawled madly towards the other jellyfish mushrooms, trying to burst them all.

Flames spewed out of Gu Shanshui's mouth, directly burning the corpse and the scorpion companion pet to death. The jellyfish mushrooms exploded in the fire, and all the spores were immediately burned by the flames.

After making sure that no one had slipped through the net, Gu Shanshui said to Li Mobai with a serious expression, "Li, something's wrong. That person clearly died from being infected with the spores of a fungus-like dimensional creature. There must be a mother fungus-like dimensional creature nearby, and it's of a high level, at least epic. This has never been discovered before. Do you still want to go to Huahe?"

Li Mobai looked at Zhou Wen and asked, "What do you think?"

"Let's keep going." Zhou Wen had just been observing the jellyfish mushrooms and spores on the corpse. These things did not pose much threat to him.

Even if Tai Sui doesn't take action, he can handle it himself, so there is naturally no need to retreat.

"Master Gu, please continue to lead the way. If you feel that you can't go on, please tell me in advance." Li Mobai said to Gu Shanshui.

"Okay." Master Gu didn't say any more nonsense and continued to lead the way with Gu Lou and Gu He.

Their most commonly used method is a fire-type companion pet, but this fire-type companion pet is very strange. The flame it spews out is a bluish-white color, and it has a strong inhibitory effect on fungi and poisonous insects.

"Wait a minute!" Zhou Wen suddenly said after walking for a distance, because he had discovered with his listening skills that there were many corpses in front of him, and each corpse was covered with jellyfish mushrooms.

The remaining chapter will be published later. If you can’t wait, go to bed first and read it tomorrow morning.
