Under the giant mushroom, there is a swamp crocodile as a carrier. At first glance, it looks a bit like a tortoise with a smaller shell, but the shell is a big mushroom.

This cave swamp crocodile is different from its counterparts in the redwood forest. It is only more than three meters long including the tail, and its body is a bit skinny, but the scales on its body have a metallic texture, reflecting the vision in Ian's eyes. The psychic brilliance appeared dark and ominous.

The cave crocodile carrying the giant mushroom moved extremely slowly, and was not as ferocious as its counterparts on land. After noticing Ian and the others, he did not make any offensive or warning actions, but continued to slowly approach the lake.

Ian didn't make a move. He took Isengard out of the way, and found that the other party did not care about them, but quietly came to the lake to drink water.

"It seems that the crocodile dragon is in a state of low temperature dormancy... symbiotic or parasitic? This is a bit like Cordyceps... it's more like Para X Te in Bao X Dream."

Ian was a little curious about the other party's strange form of existence: But now is obviously not the time to study it.

Avoiding Crocodile, Ian and Yisen found a relatively dry place and put the old man down.

Master Gosai was well protected, and nothing happened, except that Esengard took too much anesthesia during the operation before, and he hasn't woken up yet.

Ian looked around the cave, then frowned.

Unlike the karst cave area covered with psionic fluorescence outside, this place does not have the light provided by electric arcs flickering in the air from time to time. Although there is still a psionic field, it is biased towards water, so this place is cold and humid, almost invisible.

But there are many cold light sources in the cave, which are some kind of biological fluorescence. At first, Ian didn't take a look at them seriously, but now he looked at them and found that the light sources were giant mushrooms of different sizes.

These giant mushrooms are a kind of sublimation fungi, and the largest giant mushroom is even more than five meters high. There are obvious protrusions on the canopy, and those protrusions are the source of fluorescence, and glowing mucus flows inside.

The strange scent that permeates the air is emanating from these slimes, with a rather refreshing sweetness. .

"What kind of creature is this?"

Frowning slightly, leaning forward slightly, the boy's eyes shone with silver light.

Immediately, dense data flowed out.

【Obra Giant Golden Mushroom (Terra Alien)】

[First energy level, mature body, normal, symbiotic sub-intelligent organisms, secondary low-intelligence organisms in the Obra star field, sub-strains of psionic networks]

[Body material... sublimated mycelium... metal-based life]

[Strength Level: Normal]

[Contains source quality: 22.2491 basic units]

[One of the main wild sublimated creatures of the third ecological planet of Obra, a necessary unit for the ecological cycle of the Obra star field. Giant golden mushrooms can move through fusion and symbiosis with other organisms, but after a period of time, they will use special enzymes to gradually merge themselves with the symbiosis, and become immobile giant golden mushrooms again]

[After the destruction of the Obra star field, after arriving in the Terra star field via the "fire seed", it was transformed by native intelligent creatures, successfully adapted to the local ecology, and was retained as the experimental object of the "metal-based ecosystem" and "spiritual energy network" 】

[Now completely wild and localized]

"The teacher has really improved a lot...It's a pity that the regenerative potion cannot be used continuously, otherwise the teacher's injury will probably be able to heal most of the injury directly!"

At this moment, Isengarde has finished the examination for Master Goser - Ian's operation was very successful, after all the lesions were excised and dug away, and after further killing with his blood, the parasites in the old man's body were basically completely eliminated .

Although Master Gesai hasn't woken up yet, he still couldn't help but want to report the good news to Ian who was in a daze beside the giant fungus: "Ian...Ian?"

Then, he saw with some doubts that the white-haired boy who had been very calm along the way was staring straight at the giant fungus in front of him, as if he was looking at something unbelievable.

After a while, he took a deep breath and whispered to himself, "What the hell?"

— Aliens? !

at the same time.

Feiyan team.

"...You mean to say that there is a white man who has been following us, following the footsteps of the vanguard without being noticed by anyone, and made a sudden move when the vanguard was about to capture the young master of the Ellen family. Sneak attack, collapsed the cave, and then killed Gomonda and the others, and went deep into the cave at a speed that you couldn't track... ran away?"

The captain who heard the scout's report took a deep breath, obviously wanting to get angry very much.

But he also knew very well that it was useless to get angry, so he suppressed his anger forcibly, and said in a deep voice, "Okay. It seems that we still underestimated those Setar bastards."

He walked quickly along the cave, and the invisible wind surrounded him.

The landslide karst cave that blocked Feiyan's soldiers' steps seemed to not exist in front of him. With the strong wind and dust flying, a large hole in the shape of a human appeared in the middle of the stone pile - and the earth knight behind him hurried forward , urging the source quality to solidify this cave passage.

The captain came to the karst cave full of corpses. He looked around the underground cave full of blood, angrily even the protruding organ on the forehead that was used to sense heat was trembling violently.

"very good."

He gritted his teeth, and punched out words one by one: "I didn't expect to underestimate that Bai Zhimin—I thought he was just a wave-singer and didn't need to pay too much attention, but now it seems that he is actually a water demon. A very high bloodline."

Turning around, he looked at the Spiritual Equipment Church team that was following.

The head of the brigade ordered with a sinking face: "Find them."

The female monk shook her head and said, "This is not within the scope of cooperation."

"They have seriously threatened our exploration mission." The captain sneered and said, "I'm afraid you don't know, the white people are the new generation of sublimators that the local Viscount Grant has vigorously cultivated in recent years... I'm afraid they are his apprentices or illegitimate children or something. "

"The fact that he can get rid of our scouts so easily shows that he is very familiar with this place—the viscount in Port Harrison also has a part of the key in his hand. He may have cracked some of the secrets of this ruins group."

"Catch that white man and the young master of the Ellen family, and ask these secrets. This is definitely much faster than us wandering around this cave area."

The female monk was silent for a while, and she and the two watch knights who had been following her all the time exchanged glances, then nodded slightly.

"good."

Turning her head and looking at the captain, the female cultivator continued to use that synthesized voice: "We agree with your proposal. But we remind you that in case of emergencies, our tasks will be given priority."

"[Heterogeneous Ecosphere], [Ascension Test Site], [Tinder Prototype] or [Tinder Core Design]."

Having said that, the female monk's voice was once again filled with uncontrollable frenzy: "Everything related to these three things should follow our orders first."

The captain took a few deep breaths.

"No problem." He calmed down and agreed, "So now?"

The nun nodded. So a watch knight behind her stepped forward and took off his helmet.

It was a completely mechanized head with only one huge crystal eye on the whole head, which looked like a weird head with one eye.

"Turn on the footprint backtracking mode."

The watch knight's milky white translucent crystal eye released intense glare and shone in the cave——at once, a clearly visible light trace derived from it, flying all the way to the depths of the cave.

[Human Juvenile Body] [Human Juvenile Body - Carrying Human Elder Body]

click. The Cyclops-like watch knight put his airtight helm back on.

And the female monk made a 'please' gesture to the captain.

"Let's go." Without the slightest hesitation, the team leader immediately led the team to follow.

at the same time.

above the sea.

Elder Purdue, who came back from Port Harrison with an ether weapon, brought very bad news to Viscount Grant.

"Bishop Bishop entered the underground ruins alone?!"

Holding the four-color card key, the Viscount frowned, staring at the closed door of the ruins, as if he was thinking about a very serious question.

However, the bad news brought by Elder Pude still made him dizzy for a while, and he felt incredible: "What's going on? This place is the secret mission of my family's guards, and it is also the four keys I collected! The late emperor personally gave us A mission from the family!"

"Why do they all seem to know a lot about this underground ruins, but I don't know, I don't know anything?!"
