I Can’t Play This Game Anymore

Chapter 869 Familiar fungi

Latest website: I didn’t expect Ding An to be so reckless, throwing the scalpel directly to the Nine Blood Life-eating Vine.

Isn’t it said that people who do scientific research are very cautious? This damn thing is so unreasonable!

Sure enough, the Nine-Blooded Life-eating Vine quickly merged with the blade after it came into contact with the scalpel.

Because the surface of the scalpel was as smooth as new and not rusty like the Warring States weapons we encountered earlier, we could clearly see red blood-like things spreading on the surface of the scalpel.

Even Ji Han ignored Ding An's reckless behavior just now and asked:

"Is this how it connects to the weapon?"

Ding An nodded excitedly and said:

"Yes, it's really incredible. It's like a fusion of organic matter and inorganic matter."

The Nine-blooded Life-devouring Vine, which had obtained the scalpel, immediately brandished its new weapon and attacked quickly in the glass box. However, the glass box seemed to be specially made by Ding An, and there was no trace left by the sharp scalpel.

Ding An even approached without scruple and observed through the glass.

It seems that because he did not notice the surrounding life forms through the glass, after the Nine-Blooded Life-devouring Vine attacked, he dragged the scalpel and hid in the bronze like a hermit crab.

"Captain Ding'an, although I said I gave this thing to you, I still hope you will be careful when researching it. Gadgets are still very dangerous..."

Before Ji Han finished reminding him, Ding An opened his sample room and took out a white mouse, then turned around and said:

"Shhhhhhh! Don't talk yet. I seem to understand the principle of this thing."

As he spoke, he threw the white rat in his hand into the glass box.

Ji Han didn't understand what Ding An meant, and just looked into the glass box according to his reminder.

I saw the little white mouse that was not aware of the danger sniffing left and right in the glass box. I don't know if it was because of the smell of blood, and then it actually crawled straight towards the bronze in the center.

There was no surprise. Before the mouse touched the bronze, the Nine-Blooded Life-devouring Vine was like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to move and instantly entangled the mouse with a scalpel.

Even though there were only scalpels and remaining iron residue on the vine, with the powerful strangulation of the Nine-Blooded Life-devouring Vine, the little white mouse still lost its life in an instant.

The Life-Eating Vine almost didn't waste the mouse's body. After squeezing out all the flesh and blood inside, it just threw aside the unusable fur and bones.

Chen Ke had told Ding An and Gu Shui about the weirdness of this thing before, but only after seeing it with his own eyes would he really feel the difference.

Gu Shui stretched his neck and said:

"What the hell!"

Ding An, who was closest to the glass box, was excitedly recording all the scenes in front of him that looked like the animal world.

Only when the Nine-Blooded Life-devouring Vine went dormant again did Ding An turn around and explain:

"I may have an idea of ​​what this thing is. It's not a plant at all, or not exactly a plant to be precise."

Ji Han didn't understand what Ding An said:

"What's the meaning?"

Ding An took off the ballpoint pen from his chest, pointed at the vines in the glass box and explained:

"Look, this thing was green when you resurrected it, but now the outside of this thing is red. This is not a different state of the plant.

And as you just saw, the scalpel I threw in was fused and controlled with blood-red nerve-like things.

Coupled with the white mice that had just been hanged and had their flesh and blood sucked dry, these only made more and more blood-red substances appear on the surface of the vine.

So I speculate that this plant and the red substance attached to its surface are two things. The Nine-Blooded Life-devouring Vine you call may be a combination. "

"hybrid?"

Ji Han had previously obtained game information from the game interface, so he had not studied this vine in detail.

At this time, listening to Ding An explain the differences of this thing, he also became interested.

Ding An continued to explain:

"I remember Chen Ke once told me about the scene when you first encountered this thing. At that time, this nine-blooded life-devouring vine almost occupied the entire underground space. It was like a big octopus and it was quite annoying for you, right?"

Chen Ke nodded and said:

"Yes, I said that, but what does this have to do with this thing being a combination?"

"If it really grows as big as you said, then based on the size of the plant, its root system should keep up with the growth rate. Not to mention that long, at least it shouldn't be this thin.

What is most difficult for me to understand is that the roots of such a huge thing are actually inside such a small bronze vessel. This is simply unimaginable. "

Ji Han understood what Ding An wanted to express:

"Are you saying that the green seedlings inside the bronze vessel I just rescued and the red substance growing on it that can be used to fuse weapons are two different things?"

"Bingo! That's what it means! I suspect this should be some kind of special parasitic relationship. The seedlings below are indeed plants, and the red substance attached to them may be some kind of fungus.

For example, the blood-red thread we just saw fused with the scalpel is not a neurofilament, but a rapidly expanding hyphae of a bacterial colony.

My current guess is that this is a special fungus that is red and bloodthirsty and has the ability to decompose or recombine copper and iron. They may have other characteristics, so they must rely on this seemingly weak plant. "

After listening to Ding An's explanation, Ji Han and Chen Ke were both convinced after seeing it in the tomb of King Zhao before.

He is really specialized in the art. People like himself and Chen Ke who have experienced it personally have not found any problems. Ding An's two experiments confirmed it.

Ding An's explanation also gave Ji Han a new idea:

"Captain Ding'an, can you continue to do research on the bacterial strains so that they can continue to fuse?"

"You only know this after experiments, because many fungi can restrain each other. It would be nice if they don't fight each other to the death, let alone coexist or even fuse. Besides, this kind of fungus already makes me very satisfied. If there is nothing I advise you not to waste these valuable things on the nine-blooded life-devouring vines."

"Hey, I understand that experiments are needed, but what I want to say is that the colony is not weak at all. It can resurrect the dead and achieve a state of physical near-immortality. It sounds a bit like a zombie virus."

As Ji Han expected, Ding An immediately became angry once he heard this.

"Ah? There is such a thing? Where is it?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ke immediately realized that Ji Han was talking about the underground cracks in Crescent Moon Spring, and couldn't help grinning:

"No, Brother Ji, we still need to go to that underground crack?"

"Don't worry, there's no need to go there again. I just have specimens of the mycelium there."
