The turning point occurred on the seventh day after the gap-toothed man activated his superpower.
Perhaps his powers failed, or perhaps he died.
Upon noticing this, Lu Dangui immediately prepared to deliver the final blow to the man with the missing teeth.
Xia Chuhe's voice was hoarse: "Don't touch him, I have a use for him."
During the days she was under control, Xia Chuhe did some things; she figured some things out.
For example, grouping issues, the role of seed maturation, the existence of insects, and how to obtain the dungeon core.
"First, gather the plants and let the seeds mature." Xia Chuhe made some small movements, methodically arranging the others to do their jobs.
Xia Chuhe glanced into the basement first; the corpse was still there. Perhaps the corpse hadn't participated in the plant harvesting process, and the plant riot hadn't harmed the body.
At this point, only Li Qiusheng was truly capable of getting things done.
Ah Bao, dragging his mangled corpse, blocked the flowerpot: "I won't allow it. If only one team can break away, I won't give the spot to you."
Ah Bao's fierce appearance resembled that of a callow young leopard.
Little Sanhua kneaded wildly on A Bao's shoulder to soothe him, but her lifeless eyes were fixed on Xia Chuhe.
Xia Chuhe leaned closer to the flowerpot to reassure A Bao: "I won't change the flowerpot. I'll still use those men's flowerpots. If I'm going to send them all out of the instance, how could I not send you out too? Don't worry, everyone can leave. Trust me, okay?"
"What are you going to do?" Ah Bao was still a little doubtful.
Xia Chuhe waved the paper he had tricked from the strange man: "Lu Dangui asked the strange man if we could regroup into teams, but he refused because I have the tool to control the team division. Once I've grouped everyone into one team and the plants mature, we can leave."
Ah Bao checked it again, still feeling uneasy, and the paper did indeed look very much like a squad card.
"Didn't you say that teams must consist of three to five people?" Ah Bao asked.
"That's just the gap-toothed man's side of the story. Perhaps he misunderstood the strange man's meaning." Xia Chuhe turned to the strange man who had been squatting beside them. "We can split into teams using this card, right?"
The strange man nodded.
Ah Bao was relieved.
Like an ant carrying house, Li Qiusheng diligently transported plants, and the fruits in the flowerpots slowly ripened from green to ripe.
When Li Qiusheng brought over the last bunch of sunflowers, the fruits were so red they looked almost blood-red.
A sense of unease rose in Lu Dangui's heart.
Xia Chuhe said that keeping the man with the gap-toothed tooth was useful, but now that everyone is leaving, what use is the man with the gap-toothed tooth?
This instance is so strange. After the gap-toothed man leaves, if his body recovers, he can use his powers again, and everyone will be controlled by him...
Lu Dangui instinctively tried to stop Li Qiusheng from putting sunflowers into the flowerpot, but his injured body slowed him down.
Xia Chuhe, who was closest to the flowerpot, helped Li Qiusheng put the last sunflower into the flowerpot.
Xia Chuhe smiled and said, "Goodbye, please take good care of them for me."
Everything in the botanical garden was fading... The scenery changed, and Lu Dangui suddenly inhaled a large mouthful of yellow sand.
Wasteland, she's back.
Everyone returned, except for Xia Chuhe and the man with the gap-toothed tooth.
...
Xia Chuhe looked at the team assignment card in his hand: "As expected..."
The little figures on the squad cards were dragged into two rows by Xia Chuhe.
The first row features a skull, Xia Chuhe, and a man with a gap-toothed tooth.
The second row contains all the remaining players in the instance.
From the very beginning, Xia Chuhe and the others received incorrect information.
Upon entering the instance, Xia Chuhe's first piece of information came from the man with the gap-toothed man, who said that it was a competitive instance where teams of three to five people would form.
He misunderstood what the strange man meant.
The strange person meant to express that each group should have at least three people, and five people can be divided into two groups.
As for the missing person, that was naturally the "corpse" in the corner.
The fact that the injured characters in the instance gradually transformed into rotting corpses is enough to prove that the corpse was a previous evolved being.
Being killed by a plant will result in death, but being injured only puts you in a state infinitely close to death.
Therefore, Xia Chuhe risked assigning himself, the gap-toothed man, and the corpse to the first group, while placing the others into the second group, which originally only had a few men. When the plants in the flowerpots matured, everyone in the second group left the instance.
Xia Chuhe looked at the strange man: "Don't you need a mother? I can't be your mother, but I've found you a mother who is very suitable."
The strange man tilted his head.
Xia Chuhe added, "He would love to be your mother."
Xia Chuhe tore open the gap-toothed man's robe, lifted his shirt, revealing his abdomen, which had been mostly devoured, and the wound on his abdomen.
The strange man hesitated for a moment, then took off his spacesuit, revealing the true form of the dragon beard candy.
To be on the safe side, Xia Chuhe first took out a parrot from the farm that could control the situation.
Xia Chuhe asked the gap-toothed man in a serious tone, "Excuse me, would you like to be its mother?"
The man with the gap-toothed tooth, his eyes blazing with fury, strained with all his might...
The parrot was immediately locked in a hard state for twenty seconds.
During those long twenty seconds, Xia Chuhe maintained his smile, speaking fluently: "Silence means consent. Look, he's already eagerly preparing the door for you, hurry up and go in~"
The dragon beard candy stretched out its thin tendrils and probed into the gap-toothed man's abdomen.
This tentacle is so long, it seems to have no end.
The man with the gap-toothed tooth's belly grew bigger and bigger, while the dragon beard candy got smaller and smaller.
The man with the gap-toothed tooth had a high bulge in his chest and abdomen, almost reaching half his height, and his skin was so thin it looked like it was about to burst open.
All that remained of the dragon beard candy was a lump the size of a head.
The last layer of silk entered the gap-toothed man's body, and on the ground lay a human skull, some bone fragments, and a fist-sized... mushroom.
The mushroom's voice was gentle and polite: "Please put me in your mother's tummy, okay?"
Xia Chuhe subconsciously patted the mushroom-shaped hairpin.
The mushroom dodged away, looking aggrieved: "Why are you taking pictures of me?"
Xia Chuhe smiled and said, "Patting you will help you preserve some spores, so that when you and your mother are together, even more mushrooms can grow here."
"What are spores? I've never heard of them," the mushroom asked.
"Spores are like your seeds~"
"Do I have seeds too...? Mom says I don't have any seeds."
"Yes, if you don't have seeds, how can you reproduce and feed your mother? Right?"
The mushroom stood still: "Go ahead and take the picture, thank you."
Xia Chuhe patted the mushroom; it was a little soft and bouncy, a ripe and good mushroom.
Xia Chuhe put the mushroom into the gap-toothed man's stomach, and the wound healed automatically.
The sun in the sky disappeared, the plants on the ground disappeared, and the soil became pitted and jagged. The basement turned into a pit, and a corpse leaned against it.
This world is dark and empty, with only Xia Chuhe as a living being.
This is the true face of the dungeon.
Xia Chuhe collected the skull and bone fragments that had been wrapped in the dragon beard candy into his spacesuit and burned them to ashes.
Now that things have progressed to this point, it's not hard to piece together what happened.
