Zhou Wen and Li Mobai looked at each other. If they want to go to the valley of no return, they can only go to Huahe River, but the situation of Huahe River is not clear yet, and the probability of dying in it rashly is too high.
"Master Gu, can you take us to the Huahe River?" Li Mobai asked.
"No problem, but please forgive me, I can't take you into Huahe." Gu Shanshui made it clear that even if he got to Huahe, he would never go in.
Li Mobai promised Gu Shanshui to only send them to the vicinity of Huahe, and he wanted to see the situation of Huahe first.
Zhou Wen also wanted to see the situation of Huahe, and he finally came here, so he was really unwilling to go back like this.
Gu Shanshui led them to the Huahe River. All the way they walked were jungle trails. There was no road at all. Gu Shanshui led two young people from the Gu family to open the way ahead, and Zhou Wen and Li Mobai followed behind.
Zhou Wen has been using the ability to listen to everything nearby, and let Tai Sui use his mimicry ability to look like a bird.
After the Tai Sui mimicry, it looks exactly like the little bird, but it is white, standing on Zhou Wen's shoulders with the little bird on the left and right.
Zhou Wen was afraid that something would happen to the antelope following him out, so he didn't bring it out this time at all. He had already contacted An Sheng to help him deliver food so that it wouldn't cause trouble in the academy.
According to Dugu Chong, the bird should have the blood of the phoenix, which has a very good restraint effect on Gu insects. Tai Sui also has a strong restraint effect on micro-dimensional creatures. This is an important confidence for Zhou Wen to dare to come to the Southern District.
"Put on gas masks." Gu Shanshui stopped, took out the gas masks and gave them to Zhou Wen and the others.
Zhou Wen and the others put on gas masks, and Gu Shanshui glanced at the two birds on Zhou Wen's shoulder and said, "Put away the companion pets, too."
Zhou Wen put them in his backpack and didn't take them back. Firstly, the bird was not a companion pet that couldn't be taken back, and secondly, Tai Sui also needed to stay outside to ensure that Zhou Wen would not be invaded by the miniature companion pets, so naturally he couldn't take them back.
Gu Shanshui naturally saw this scene, but he didn't say anything. The two young people from the Gu family curled their lips, as if they were contemptuous of Zhou Wen's behavior, but they didn't say anything.
Everyone continued to move forward, and Zhou Wen soon knew why Gu Shanshui asked them to wear gas masks. There are a lot of fungi here, and floating spores are everywhere, like fog.
These fungi are all original organisms on the earth, and have been mutated by the impact of the dimensional storm. Although they have not yet reached the level of dimensional organisms, if the spores they emit enter the human body through the respiratory tract, they will also cause great harm to the human body. The key to the injury is in the body, so it is difficult to treat.
Tai Sui is naturally not afraid of these spores, and it has no appetite for these spores. It is estimated that the energy of these spores is too low, and Tai Sui no longer looks down on them.
The little bird is also not afraid of these spores. Once any foreign microorganism enters its body, it will be refined by the phoenix flames in its body. If it were not for this, the phoenix would not be the nemesis of Gu insects.
Zhou Wen asked the two of them to stay in the backpack obediently and not to come out. The group of people walked in the woods, and soon they were covered with a layer of dust, which was actually a large amount of spores.
All kinds of fungi can be seen everywhere on the ground and dead trees. Many of the trees here have died and become a paradise for fungi to grow.
Fortunately, the spores here are somewhat different from the parasitic spores in the Longmen Grottoes. The parasitic spores themselves are an independent dimensional organism, and these spores are only part of the fungal mother body.
Even so, if an unprepared person enters this area and inhales a large amount of spores, the lungs and the entire respiratory system may be destroyed.
Suddenly, Zhou Wen discovered that there was a dead body on the ground in front of him. Judging by his clothes, he should not be a local man. His body had rotted, and a strange fungus grew on it.
It looked like egg-sized jellyfish growing on the corpse, transparent and colorless. Although the mushrooms looked beautiful, growing on the corpse made people feel creepy.
"Don't move, Gulou, go and have a look." Gu Shanshui said to one of the young people.
The young man responded, and summoned a palm-sized black scorpion companion pet, which slowly approached the corpse, climbed onto the corpse, and came to the side of a jellyfish-shaped mushroom.
Gu Lou looked at Gu Shanshui, Gu Shanshui nodded slightly, and then he ordered the black scorpion to stab the jellyfish-like mushroom with its tail.
Boom!
After the mushroom was pricked, it exploded like a water polo, but what burst out was not water, but countless transparent spores.
"Back!" Gu Shanshui grabbed Gu Lou and another young man named Gu He, and threw them back, while he took a step forward, and sprayed a mouthful of flames at the spores.
When the flame encountered the spores, it exploded as if it encountered gasoline, and burned most of the spores at once, but a few spores still spread.
Gu Lou and Gu He also used companion pets of the flame system to burn those spores that slipped through the net to death.
However, the black scorpion companion pet before had been invaded by spores, ignored Gulou's order, and crawled frantically towards other jellyfish mushrooms, trying to break them all.
Flame spewed out from the mouth of Gu Shanshui, directly burning the corpse and the companion pet of the scorpion to death. Those jellyfish mushrooms exploded in the fire, and all the spores were immediately burned by the flame.
Gu Shanshui said to Li Mobai solemnly after confirming that there was no fish slipping through the net, "Li, something is wrong. That person died of being infected with the spores of fungal dimensional creatures. There must be a mother of fungal dimensional creatures nearby, and the level It’s not low, at least it’s an epic level, which has never been discovered before, do you still want to go to Huahe?”
Li Mobai looked at Zhou Wen and asked, "What do you think?"
"Go on." Zhou Wen had been observing the jellyfish mushrooms and spores on the corpse just now, and these things did not pose much threat to him.
Even if Tai Sui doesn't do anything, he can handle it by himself, so naturally there is no need to retreat.
"Master Gu, please continue to lead the way. If you feel that there is no way to continue walking, please let me know in advance." Li Mobai said to Gu Shanshui.
"Okay." Master Gu didn't talk nonsense, and continued to open the way ahead with Gu Lou and Gu He.
The most common method they use is a fire-type companion pet, but this kind of fire-type companion pet is very strange. The flames emitted are a bluish-white color, which has a strong restraint effect on fungi and poisonous insects.
"Wait a minute!" Zhou Wen said suddenly after walking a certain distance, because he had already discovered by listening to the truth that there were many corpses in front of him, and each corpse was covered with jellyfish mushrooms.
