"Bang bang bang..."
Richard held a big sword and fought with the three scorpion tails of the giant scorpion.
After fighting for a long time, Richard activated the strengthening spell of the No. 1 ring, but still could not suppress the crystal giant scorpion. Sweat gradually formed on his face, his hair was wet, and his breathing became a little short. The three-tailed crystal giant scorpion kept attacking continuously with its three scorpion tails, as if it was trying to tire Richard to death.
Richard pursed his lips and tried to retreat and distance himself from the three-tailed crystal giant scorpion so that he could use magic to deal with it. The three-tailed crystal giant scorpion didn't give him a chance at all. He accelerated his attacks and maintained close combat desperately, not wanting him to escape.
In this case…
Richard's eyes became sharp.
In that case...
Richard's eyes narrowed into slits.
Since you definitely want close combat...
Okay, then I will satisfy you!
"brush!"
The "Brute Force of Wind" on Ring No. 1 was superimposed and released, and a more powerful force appeared. Richard held a big sword and fiercely blocked the three scorpion tails of the three-tailed crystal giant scorpion. Then he turned his hand, and a golden glass of God's blood contained in a glass tube appeared in his hand. The volume was about the size of a finger. This was the safe dose that Richard had carefully determined.
With a "crash", Richard crushed the glass tube and used "water droplet condensation" in reverse, turning the god's blood into golden mist.
Richard took a sharp breath, inhaled the mist into his lungs, quickly integrated it into his body, and fully exerted its effect.
Blood of God!
Count-level bloodline power is activated!
The third growth rate of the body appears!
After the three-tailed crystal giant scorpion was knocked off three scorpion tails, it attacked again with its scorpion tail. Richard looked at it and slashed out the sword with a cold face. There was a whistling sound in the air, like thunder.
"boom!"
The scorpion tail and the sword blade collided.
"puff!"
Richard exploded with all his strength, and the big sword directly chopped off the entire scorpion tail.
"hiss!"
The giant scorpion whined in its belly, and the other two scorpion tails struck at Richard crazily.
Without blinking, Richard struck out again with his big sword.
"Poof! Poof!"
The last two scorpion tails were also chopped off and flew out, falling to the ground with two "bang bangs".
The giant scorpion was frightened, glanced at Richard and was about to run away, but Richard didn't want to give him this chance - the blood of God cannot be wasted!
"brush!"
Richard turned the big sword in his hand in a full circle, cutting into the connection between the giant scorpion's head and body like cutting into tofu, and directly cut off the giant scorpion's head.
"Pfft-"
A large amount of dark green liquid flowed out from the fracture. The headless giant scorpion twitched, but did not die. It even tried to turn and continue to escape.
Richard looked at it, jumped up, jumped on the back of the giant scorpion, raised his sword high, and slashed down with the power of thunder, cutting the giant scorpion's body in half at once.
This time the giant scorpion finally stopped moving - completely dead.
Stepping on the giant scorpion's body to the ground, Richard took a deep breath, took out the salt water from the space iron ring and drank it to replenish water. After resting for a while, he returned to his normal state.
At this time, Richard saw something in the scorpion's mouthparts. He walked over and cut it open with a dagger. He found that it was a filamentous thing, a bit like hyphae.
Mycelium
Richard raised his eyebrows.
Generally speaking, scorpions are carnivores, mainly preying on spiders, larvae, mosquitoes, flies and other fresh, soft, juicy insects that are rich in protein and fat. When did they become vegetarians
Could it be caused by the special ecological environment in the tomb
Mycelium? Fungi? mushroom
Richard's eyes flashed.
If it is a mushroom, it can explain how the insect swarm obtained food before.
In this humid catacombs without sunlight, green plants are destined to be unable to survive, but they are very suitable for the growth of some mushrooms and supply food for other creatures. Mushrooms are also decomposers in the ecological environment. They can decompose and utilize dead biological corpses and other wastes to ensure effective energy circulation.
Richard's eyes flashed, thinking about this, he crossed Hall No. 3 and walked into the fourth corridor.
…
The fourth corridor was somewhat sloping downwards. As Richard walked along it to the end, he found that his field of vision expanded, and a huge hall appeared in front of him.
Compared with the previous halls, this hall was not colder at all. It even seemed crowded. The ground was covered with various mushrooms.
Some mushrooms are spherical, like a huge white football, some are filamentous, like noodles piled on the ground, and the rest - normal ones like umbrellas, pillars, thin sticks, weird ones like human brains , intestines…
Some are red, some are gray, some are yellow, and some are white with bright red spots, like blood stains...
Some are only a few centimeters high and can be picked up with one hand, while others are more than a meter high, like a tall tree...
All kinds of strange mushrooms occupy the entire field of vision.
"Mushroom forest..." Richard said to himself, "Sure enough, as expected, there are a lot of mushrooms to supply the ecological environment in the tomb..."
Richard stepped towards the mushroom forest, when a gray umbrella-shaped mushroom over one meter high seemed to be stimulated and began to shake. The umbrella cap opened like petals blooming, and then exploded with a "bang", and a large number of spores and hyphae flew in all directions.
Apparently this mushroom has matured and is spreading spores in a unique way to reproduce.
When Richard saw the mycelium and spores flying towards him, his expression changed slightly. Out of caution, he released a blast of wind repulsion and knocked away all the flying mycelium and spores.
After doing this, Richard frowned and noticed something was wrong. The next moment, he opened his mouth and coughed lightly. He held his chest and coughed for a long time before he calmed down. The saliva he coughed up actually contained traces of blood and some turbid particles.
This... isn't quite right!
Richard frowned, squinted at the mushroom forest in front of him, showed a very vigilant body, covered his mouth and nose, and slowly backed away from the way he came, saying to himself: "No way, could it be that the previous ones were all disguises, are they really The deadly design is here... cough cough cough!"
Before he finished speaking, Richard coughed again, feeling tightness in his chest and slight pain in his lungs. The symptoms of something wrong were getting worse.
"Cough cough cough..." Richard covered his mouth and nose and coughed, already confirming his guess, "It seems that the previous insect swarm army, the two-tailed golden scorpion, and the three-tailed crystal giant scorpion are all disguises, they are truly deadly. Design is a mushroom forest, the fungal spores that are everywhere in the air!”
Fungal spores! Germ design from the microscopic world!
Attack from an invisible place, like a dagger piercing the heart in sleep, or a sword blade wiping the neck. It is not until the moment of being struck or the moment of death that people realize the danger!
