Clone Octopus

Chapter 35 Colorful Poisonous Mushroom
After listening to Xu Zong's words, Shen Rui turned around, and saw that it was an extremely huge colorful mushroom. This mushroom had the most vigorous vitality in the whole place where the mushroom grew, and it was already nearly three meters big.

Xu Zong said: "After the colorful poisonous mushroom grows for a thousand years, a small colorful flower will bloom at the top. After the colorful flower withers, the rhizome will not die and will continue to grow for thousands of years, eventually growing into a colorful cockscomb fungus. If you stand high enough, You can clearly see this extremely rare poisonous mushroom.”

Stand taller?

How difficult is this?
Shen Rui immediately stepped on top of Xiao Ba's head, Xiao Ba stretched out his tentacles, and sent Shen Rui to the top of the big mushroom.

The body of such a huge mushroom is quite strong, and Shen Rui will not shake when he steps on it.

Sure enough, on top of the largest seven-colored poisonous mushroom, there was a smaller mushroom, the size of a human fist, shaped like a rooster's comb, surrounded by colors.

"Accept it. When we first landed on the island, this colorful cockscomb poisonous mushroom was all over the cave, but now there is only the last one left. After all, this magical thing only appeared in 2000." Xu Zongshen soundtrack.

Shen Rui nodded, and pried off the colorful cockscomb poisonous mushroom from the bottom with a pocket knife, wrapped it carefully in a handkerchief, and carefully put it in his coat pocket.

"Why were you given such precious poisonous mushrooms to me?" Shen Rui asked curiously.

"As long as it doesn't fall into the hands of my rebel Xu Fu, it doesn't matter who takes it away." Xu Zong said.

"What's the use of this poisonous mushroom?" Shen Rui asked again.

"Live forever." Xu Zong said calmly: "The first emperor ordered us to look for only seven-color poisonous mushrooms. It is said that eating this poisonous mushroom can prolong life. As for the seven-color cockscomb poisonous mushroom, we discovered it by accident."

"But you have also seen that we paid a huge price for this. After eating the colorful cockscomb poisonous mushroom, we became monsters that were neither human nor ghost. We were petrified during the day and could move freely at night."

"The most difficult time is the night of the full moon on the [-]th day of each month. The body that is as hard as a stone will burst open, blood will flow out, and the pain will be excruciating. The reason why my rebel Xu Fu kills and devours human beings is to relieve himself. pain of."

"Since ancient times, the same kind cannot eat each other. This is the law of heaven and human relations. The rebel Xu Fu violated the law of heaven and fell into darkness completely. It is really a great shame for my sect!"

Speaking of this, the old black stone monkey became more and more excited, clenched his fists, and started to tremble all over.

Shen Rui was stunned, and asked curiously: "So the black stone monkey on the top of the mountain is Xu Fu? He is really strong, but I don't quite understand why you and Xu Fu are black, but those little monkeys are black. grey?"

Xu Zong said: "No, there are no monkeys on Penglai Island at all. The gray stone monkeys you saw were the sacrifices we brought back, three thousand boys and girls each."

"What Xu Fu and I ate were the best poisonous mushrooms, the seven-color chicken comb, so the changes were serious, and we couldn't see the appearance of humans at all, while those boys just ate ordinary seven-color poisonous mushrooms. If you have seen them, Then you will find that their faces are actually human faces, which shows that their degree of alienation is relatively low."

Shen Rui nodded again and again. The little gray stone monkey had a human face, so he knew it clearly. On the other hand, Xu Fu and Xu Zong, the two big black monkeys, could no longer see the slightest resemblance to humans.

Frowning slightly, Shen Rui asked: "Since you brought three thousand boys and girls, plus boatmen and craftsmen, isn't it the scale of over ten thousand?"

"Indeed, 350 people." Xu Zong nodded.

"Where are the rest? I think there are no more than two thousand stone monkeys on Penglai Island today." Shen Rui asked.

Xu Zong let out a long breath and said, "The medicinal power of the colorful poisonous mushroom is limited. Even if you keep taking it, more than [-] people will die of old age. According to observations over the past thousand years, the younger the boy, the more powerful the medicine after taking the colorful poisonous mushroom. The better."

"The people on Penglai Mountain are still alive now, except me and the traitor Xu Fu, two adults who were the youngest boys back then, and the rest are all dead."

Shen Rui was startled, and had a deeper understanding of this magical colorful poisonous mushroom.

According to the notes left by Ye Wuhen, this kind of poisonous mushroom may control the human body, slow down metabolism and cell division, or even stop it completely. As for petrification and monkey-like transformation, it may be the side effect of the poisonous mushroom .

Assuming Ye Wuhen was by his side, Shen Rui could listen to his high-level theories. Unfortunately, Shen Rui's knowledge of genetics was almost zero, and he couldn't figure out why the side effects of poisonous mushrooms were so weird.

The existence of poisonous mushrooms is also an oddity. In addition to the unique colorful cockscomb poisonous mushroom, Shen Rui took some small, ordinary colorful poisonous mushrooms that were growing and put them in Xiao Ba's backpack.

So far, Xu Zong's performance can be regarded as the rules, Shen Rui thought for a while, raised his head and said: "You must be very sad after being locked in the cage for so long, I will let you out right now."

"No!" Xu Zong suddenly said loudly: "After planting the poison of these colorful poisonous mushrooms, I will be full of desire for those poisonous mushrooms. Once you release me, I will definitely lose my mind and devour the poisonous mushrooms desperately. In the end, I will lose my mind just like the traitor Xu Fu." Six paths of human relations!"

"The reason why Xu Fu locked me up here is to make me suffer every day. The poisonous mushrooms are right in front of my eyes but I can't eat them."

"It's just that the traitor would never have imagined that after a thousand years, I would actually develop a firm mind here, and gradually recover from the demons and beasts to a somewhat human appearance."

"If you put me down, not only will you not be able to save me, but you will cause me to fall out of the six realms of reincarnation!"

Shen Rui was startled, Xu Zong's feelings seemed quite normal, they were completely forced out!

It was a great torture to look at so many tempting foods for a long time but not be able to eat them. After years of suffering, Xu Zong actually regained some of his sanity, developed strong mental strength, and used his mental strength to resist the attack of poisonous mushrooms. own violation.

Xu Fu closed his eyes and his throat moved, obviously because Shen Rui's proposal was so tempting that it almost made him dream again.

"If you really want to help me, just wait until after dawn. At that time, I will petrify and become an immovable sculpture. Although the traitor Xu Fu has a higher level of cultivation than me, he will also petrify."

"This is the only chance. Except for me, no one can kill my traitor. Even if you smash his body and grind it into powder, it can still be recovered at night."

"If you believe it, take advantage of dawn and move me to the top of the mountain, and put me with Xu Fu's petrified body. You still can't leave at this moment, and you need to stay aside and wait for my orders."

"Xu Fu is not dead, Penglai is in trouble. You will never escape. Besides, you still have friends in Xu Fu's hands. If you don't kill him, how can you save your friends?"

Shen Rui frowned and thought, falling into a dilemma.

Move out Xu Fu's master Xu Zong to deal with Xu Fu who has become a demon. Can this be successful?
