  Chapter 1593 Seven-day Cicada

  Although Xu Huo said that Chi Xian is not needed for help, since everyone is here, it is impossible not to go down and have a look.

   After recording the growth of fungi on the corpse, he walked along the stone steps to the cave deep underground.

   Chi Xian didn't leave, so Xu Huo expected that he would come again, not to mention that even if he didn't come down now, he would look back later, so it's better to solve it together now.

   "Old Xu?" shouted outside the cave, Chi Xian said: "Is it dangerous down there?"

   "Poisonous insects." Xu Huo reminded.

   Not long after, Chi Xian came in. He had a wealth of knowledge about fungi, and he knew which fungi could be touched and which ones could not. After entering, he took out the recorder and kept taking pictures of the colorful fungi.

   "Sure enough, it is still the fungi that grow naturally to form this spectacular beauty." He said: "Many people use fungi to make paintings, but there is no such beauty that has been artificially intervened."

  Xu Huo then looked up, "It's very beautiful."

   Chi Xian finished shooting enough, and collected some fungi as samples, and then walked up to him and asked him what he was doing.

  He is a smart person, and Xu Huo didn't need to explain it. After watching it for a while, he said, "Fungi like you probably won't live for too long."

   "Why do you see it?" Xu Huo asked humbly.

"I see that your fungus doesn't eat other fungi, but only eats this kind of cicada fungus that grows on rocks. Cicada fungus is a very special kind of fungus. It can be regarded as a kind of poisonous fungus, but it is different from other poisonous fungi. The difference is that all people and animals infected by it usually live only seven days, which is the time it survives."

"Many fungi can reproduce in the human body, so they will continue until the death of the host. Cicada fungi are different. Their reproduction is at the cost of their own lives. After the death of the previous generation of bacteria, the spores bred in them will Start to grow, although the spores will generally multiply, but because they can only live for seven days, no matter how many there are, they cannot become a climate."

   "The cicada bacteria in this place is the most I have ever seen."

   Chi Xian said and cast his eyes on the bones next to him, "Could it be because there are so many human bones here? It shouldn't be..."

   "Speaking of which, why are there so many shoulder blades here? Is it where the name of Butterfly Bone Town comes from?"

   "I don't know about this either," Xu Huo said, "What's more, there is no one left in Butterfly Bone Town."

   "It doesn't matter if it's true or not," Chi Xian said indifferently: "Although these people's tricks are clumsy, there may be many unlucky people who died here."

   "It's not all cannibals. There are some small alien species in the rainforest. The locals are not afraid of fungi, so why bother to eat people."

   "It's not necessarily for food," Xu Huo said, "The players die here, and if you kill them more, you can get some items."

   "That's true." Chi Xian thought for a while and then laughed, "Before I came to Area 013, I thought there were poor people here, but I didn't expect them to pick up guns and become hunters instead."

  Xu Huo didn't answer the call, but bottled another batch of mycelium.

   "You just said that people and things parasitized by cicadas only have a lifespan of seven days, so it should be a poisonous fungus."

   What he said just now is "sort of".

"This is the magical place, it can't detoxify, but it can extend the life of a person who is dying of poisoning to seven days." Chi Xian glanced at the mycelium growing on the ground, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to feed your fungus. "

  Xu Huo nodded, "My bacterium is indeed a detoxifying bacterium, and it grows slowly. I have been looking for a way to cultivate it."

   Chi Xian made an expression of "I understand", and added: "Although this kind of bacteria is said to be miraculous, it cannot completely detoxify after all, and it is not that any poison can prolong life for seven days, so the value is average."

   "Has no one studied it?" Xu Huo said strangely: "It is reasonable to say that the value of this fungus is very high."

   "It is precisely because there is no one that we can only give up." Chi Xian said as a matter of course: "I once read a document, which summarized the strange characteristics of cicada bacteria, to the effect that its vitality is very tenacious."

   "If a person is infected with multiple toxins at the same time, the cicadas will survive for seven days on the other toxins. Anyone who is infected with toxins and is not killed on the spot will get some relief due to the reduction in the amount of toxins in the body."

   "However, when the cicadas die collectively, they will release a large amount of toxins, pulling the host to be buried with them every minute."

   "It's quite unusual for bacteria like yours to be able to feed on cicadas. However, cicadas have tenacious vitality and may not be able to absorb them all. When the cicadas die, your bacteria will probably die too."

  Xu Huo nodded.

  According to his statement, the mycelium of the king fungus that absorbed the cicada bacteria can only survive for a maximum of seven days.

   "Is there an antidote to the poison of the cicada fungus?"

   "Since it was eaten by your bacteria, the amount of poison left should not be too large. The general B-level antidote for fungi should be useful."

   Chi Xian was not very interested in Wang Jun, and after talking about this topic, he turned his attention to the flying poisonous insects.

  Xu Huo also gained something. If cicadas alone can feed the mycelium of the king fungus, it will be much more convenient to cultivate the mycelia of the king fungus in the future, and a little sequelae are nothing.

  Opening the personal panel, he added the information to the Special Defense Department, and checked the information of Cicada, which was not different from what Chi Xian said.

  Over there, Chi Xian had already caught many poisonous insects, and found several rare fungi that he had never seen from deep underground, and put them away in containers, and then proposed to go to Shiyao Island.

   "I guess the Midsummer Night Star River that Mr. Mo is looking for is not simple, not to mention that I have never seen such fungi as Midsummer Night, so I just went to open my eyes."

   "Did you have a problem with them?" Xu Huo glanced at him. He avoided it before, but now he took the initiative to move forward.

   Chi Xian said with a smile, "Aren't you curious what the Midsummer Night Galaxy is?"

  Xu Huo lacked interest, "Looking at their attitude, I know they are probably looking for revenge. Midsummer Night Xinghe may be a nickname for players."

  Seeing that he won't move, Chi Xian didn't force him, "Think about it, it's not easy to travel all the way."

   After speaking, he left the cave without explaining where he was going.

  Xu Huo didn't care, and stayed in the cave for three days to get enough mycelium for the special defense department.

  Without much rest for three days, even the player would be depressed, so after coming out of the underground cave, he planned to find a place to sleep well.

   Unexpectedly, Chi Xian hadn't left yet. He teleported over with props, and still carried the prey he had just hunted from the forest in his hand—five fat mutant rabbits.

  The rabbit looks a bit strange, and the fur is almost completely replaced by fungi.

   Chi Xian greeted Xu Huo, "These bacteria are not highly poisonous, and they can't kill people if eaten, and there are several kinds of bacteria in them that have their own fragrance, and the animals that have been parasitized by them taste particularly delicious."

As he spoke, he had already begun to peel the skin with his hands. He scratched lightly on the rabbit's head with a knife, inserted his five fingers through the slit, bent and stretched, loosened the top of the skin and then turned it over and pulled it down. The whole rabbit skin was easily peeled off. .
