Hunter: Start with a prison

[Unknown fungal plant life]

[Except for the core, the middle layer is surrounded by highly toxic tissue, and immature spores will continue to accumulate on the outside. 】

[Every time at a fixed period, countless mature robes will scatter in all directions. 】

[The spores have the function of parasitism and small-scale reproduction. They feed on the emotions of the parasite and turn it into a walking zombie. 】

[After the spore is completely parasitic, it will automatically sense the mother's breath, return to the mother's side and automatically emit poison, melting the parasite and itself into blood. 】

[The mother body absorbs everything brought back by the parasite, and the emotions and flesh of the creature it swallows will be used as nutrients to cultivate more spores. 】

[Emotional essence will be condensed in the core, and swallowing the core can enhance one's own perception. 】

The moment he saw the information given by the magic mirror, Lien knew that there was no need to look at the roster.

Because he had obtained more complete information through the magic mirror, he had already determined the abnormal nature of the magic mirror.

There is no doubt that this upgrade has made the performance of the magic mirror even more perfect.

Although he had obtained a large amount of information, Lien still did not dare to be careless.

Instead of immediately taking action against the fungi, he continued to use his mind energy to wash away the black particles and returned to the prison to rest.

Returning to prison for the time being was the safest decision made by Lean.

On the one hand, it was because of the upgrade of the magic mirror that he lost 40% of his mental energy.

Coupled with the previous consumption, it was no longer enough to support his subsequent exploration.

On the other hand, the information provided by Magic Mirror shows that the source of Zoba AIDS is: fungal plant life.

Plant life is an extremely rare species, and this is the first time Lien has seen a real one since his debut.

But in the history of the human world, there are traces of plant life.

According to the speculations of anthropologists, plant life is a kind of higher life form.

This kind of life form has the body of a plant and has extremely high growth potential.

Plant life is generally very similar to nuclear organisms, but they are very different in nature.

In a sense, plant life has much more room for growth than nuclear life.

And this growth is not just about self-enhancement, but an improvement in the level of wisdom.

To what specific extent can it be improved?

Can it be equal to humans?

Will it surpass humans as intelligent creatures?

All these inquiries and answers are completely unknown because there is no reference to plant life.

But Lien knew very well in his heart that Zobaai might have known just now that he was observing its every move.

If he had acted out of line just now, he would probably have faced an unexpected attack.

Inside the warden's room.

Lien lay down on his little bed, closing his eyes and thinking in his mind.

At this moment, he finally understood why plant life like Zobaai was called an immortal disease by humans.

In the distant dark continent, Zobaai is simply a plant life.

And there is no such thing as immortality among the creatures infected by Zobaai here.

On the contrary, it is a case treasured in the human world and has become a special phenomenon.

That person is dead and does not have any consciousness of being a human being.

The series of actions he carried out were all under the control of parasitic spores.

Because he is dead, his body will not change at all under the control of the spores.

In addition, the spores cannot sense information from the mother and can only remain in a parasitic state.

The reason why scholars in the human world cannot discover the existence of spores.

The root cause is probably that the parasitized spores feel a lack of nutrition and change from reproducing in small quantities to maintaining themselves!

I'm afraid it will be countless years before the spores inside die naturally.

"There is no immortal disease in the world!"

"This is just human beings' self-guessing and greedy hope for the unknown!"

After murmuring Wei Wei, Li En fell into sleep.

The next day.

Wrapped in a mental energy barrier, Li En's figure appeared in the outside world.

This time he had only one purpose, to collect Zobaai's inner core.

As shown in the information, "The core can improve one's own perception."

Although Li En didn't understand that state, he knew that the core was a rare treasure.

If you let something like this go, you will really regret it for the rest of your life.

As for how to obtain the core, he already had an idea while eating breakfast.

Raising his hand, Lien summoned a jailer.

The whole body of this jailer has been wrapped in a large amount of bone.

According to Lean's observations of spores, crustaceans are its nemesis.

He planned to use this jailer to test Zobaai's attack methods.

Moreover, the jailer has characteristics similar to immortality, which is equivalent to costless trial and error.

In the blink of an eye, under Lien's gaze, the jailer arrived at the edge of the clearing where Zobaai grew.

The moment he took one step, the jailer stayed where he was.

This is Lien's preliminary test to determine whether Zobaai has a strong sense of territory.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual about Zobaai, Lien immediately knew that the plant life in front of him would be difficult to deal with.

In Lean's view, intelligent creatures can rely on behavior and are divided into three major categories.

First, instinct is greater than one's own wisdom. This type of person mostly relies on habits to act.

Second, instinct is equal to wisdom and has the corresponding thinking ability.

Third, they are completely intelligent creatures with logical thinking patterns.

The jailer's temptation to step into the territory means that Zobaai does not fall into the first category.

Even in the second category, it is at the top.

As the jailer continued to approach, Zobaai showed no reaction.

It seemed like it was just an ordinary humanoid fungus taking root in the earth.

The more Zobaai acted like this, the less Lien dared to be careless.

He believed in the information given by the magic mirror and believed even more in the danger of plant life.

"You're not going to take action, are you?"

"Then I won't be polite!"

With a slight movement in his heart, Lien gave instructions to the jailer.

"Take out the core of the nearest Zobaai plant for me!"

After receiving Lien's instructions, the jailer moved much faster.

He walked in front of a Zobaai plant and thrust his palm into Zobaai's body.

However, the result was unexpected. The moment the jailer's palm touched Zobaai, thick white smoke rose up.

Lien knew that it was the jailer's exoskeleton, corroded by the poison.

And with the power of the jailer's blow, it didn't break Zobaai's defense at all.

The jailer has no pain and no emotions at all. It only knows how to complete Lien's orders.

In the absence of new orders from its master, it will only complete its mission.

After the first blow failed, the jailer began to wrap his mind energy around his palm.

However, before the jailer's attack could land, countless pitch black roots burst out of the ground.

When most people encounter this kind of situation, they will immediately choose to retreat.

But the jailer showed no sign of stopping, and a blow wrapped in thought energy suddenly fell.
