Lin Ruo squatted around the poisonous mushroom and did not feel the repulsive sensation. However, when her mental energy pierced its outer skin, the sensation appeared. In an instant, she put the broken poisonous mushroom into the still space, where the toxins were completely still and would not continue to spread.
In order to study it properly, Lin Ruo returned to the fortress and wanted to go out to dig for poisonous mushrooms, but was stopped by A Liu's willow branch. It gestured at her and said, "What do you want on this mountain? Just tell it, and it will dig it up for you. Why do you have to do it yourself?"
Lin Ruo chuckled, "That's life, you know? Otherwise, I could just use my spatial abilities and pick as many as I could. Besides, these poisonous mushrooms are highly contagious, and you might accidentally damage them. If spores are released, they might harm the mutated animals around them."
Ah Liu didn't quite understand what came after, but she understood what came before. It was like how the master insisted on picking vegetables himself every day. It was something that could be done in a second with his superpower, but he insisted on picking them one by one. She used that word at the time.
Then the scene just now unfolded: she walked through the dense forest, constantly searching the surroundings with her spiritual energy.
Lin Ruo walked slowly forward. No matter where she went, the mutated plants around her would glance at her basket. When they saw what she was going to dig up, they would automatically point the way for her, making the places where the poisonous mushrooms grew the most obvious places. They were practically pulling Lin Ruo over with branches to pick them.
For them, this kind of experience is rare. Since Lin Ruo's superpower was upgraded, he can either fly or teleport when he goes out, and he can always accurately avoid their contact.
She hadn't ventured deep into the forest on this mountain peak for a long time. Usually, it was Ah Liu and the others who accompanied her. They never had a chance; if they had even the slightest idea, Ah Liu would seize the opportunity and threaten them.
Now that they had a chance to show off, they all wished they could take a few poisonous mushrooms from Lin Ruo's basket and stick them on themselves to attract Lin Ruo's attention.
Some mutated plants even offered their newly ripened fruits to Lin Ruo, hoping to use their fruits to rise in status. Unfortunately, Lin Ruo had already studied these fruits, so they were not very attractive to her.
The mutated animals around also gathered not far from Lin Ruo, curiously looking at her. The mutated beasts above level five even deliberately shrunk their size, revealing their cutest postures.
If it weren't for Ah Shou following behind Lin Ruo, they would all have wanted to pounce on Lin Ruo and roll around at her feet. If their owner could take a liking to their appearance and take them home to raise, that would be wonderful.
The giant python that was sunbathing in the tree just moments ago no longer had any of its chilling aura. Now it had shrunk to the thickness of an adult's little finger, its entire body golden, coiled together, looking from afar like a golden bracelet, its scales tightly arranged and exquisitely crafted.
If it were any other girl, she would probably have stopped and stared at it, but Lin Ruo just kept walking past it without even glancing at it.
The giant python was stunned for a second, then dejectedly spat out the tip of its tail from its mouth. Ignoring the gloating expressions of the mutated animals around it, it silently crawled behind the leaves and hid.
As Shou walked behind Lin Ruo, seeing the behavior of the mutated plants and animals around them, and their expressions as if they wanted to stick their eyes to Lin Ruo, it couldn't help but silently bare its teeth at them, but it didn't dare to go too far, because they were indeed helping to find the red mushroom.
When the mutated animals saw Ah Shou's expression, they immediately shrank back in fear, but when they saw Lin Ruo in front of them, they became bolder again.
Lin Ruo walked in the forest for more than half an hour, and her basket was full. She looked at it with satisfaction and felt that she had collected enough, so she wanted to go back.
There were indeed too many mutated plants and animals around. She used her mental power to activate her spatial domain instantly, and teleported back into the fortress with Ah Shou behind her.
Back in the fortress, Lin Ruo was about to start studying the medicine when she turned around and saw Ah Shou looking down, somewhat dejected. The big dog seemed a little unhappy.
Lin Ruo thought for a moment and understood. It was jealous. She chuckled and reached out to rub its smooth head. "Okay, I didn't pay attention to them. I definitely like you the most, don't worry."
Ah Shou then raised its head with a proud expression. How could they compare to its cuteness? It wagged its tail and followed Lin Ruo to the second floor, even wanting to lie down at Lin Ruo's feet to watch her deal with the poisonous mushrooms.
But Lin Ruo was afraid of infecting it. Although she could treat it, it would definitely suffer a lot.
She kicked Ah Shou out of the lab, saying, "Go play outside, this stuff is poisonous."
After closing the door, Lin Ruo used her mental power to isolate the poisonous mushrooms from the surrounding air to prevent any spores from escaping. Then, she used her mental power to cut the poisonous mushroom open. As soon as the mushroom was cut open, countless toxin particles flew into the air; these were its spores.
Her spiritual power focused on these spores, and immediately the internal structure of these spores was fully displayed in the forest brain.
After an afternoon, Lin Ruo stored all the cut-up poisonous mushrooms in the still space to isolate them.
These spores are extremely active. Lin Ruo tried many methods, including high temperature, electrolysis, freezing, and chemical reagents. The temperature had to reach 200 degrees Celsius to completely eliminate the toxins in the spores, and the temperature had to be below -60 degrees Celsius to deactivate the spores and freeze the toxins inside, preventing them from spreading.
Apart from these two methods, there is no other way to change this toxin. If it were to transfer to a human body, the probability of inactivation would be virtually zero.
However, this stuff is highly toxic; it can easily kill a level four mutated beast. After the apocalypse, these mutated beasts have physical constitutions far exceeding those of humans. If it can kill a level four mutated beast, it can easily kill a level six or lower ability user.
If it spreads, it will quickly cause widespread death without a specific cure. The problem is that these toxins will not disappear just because the host dies; they will continue to spread in the air.
