If the previous firefly fired a continuous laser, like the "ZiBang" in Paipai, except that there was no "Bang" part, but it kept spraying people like a small water pipe that was always open, then the laser of the eyeworm was like a water cannon, although it only fired one shot at a time, it was extremely powerful.

Soon, the laser from the euglena hit Fang Qingyun's shield, and the shield clanged like it was being hammered. The laser was catapulted to the side, hitting the trees where the euglena were staying, causing wood chips to fly everywhere. The high-energy laser hit the ground, and the instantaneous high temperature made the ground charred, and a wisp of green smoke rose. When it hits a tree, it will turn the tree into a state of wood struck by lightning, and the trunk will be so charred that even fire cannot be ignited.

Fang Qingyun, who had no means of long-range attack, used a water shield to block the lasers shot from other directions, and at the same time ordered the water swords around him to attack. Several water swords rotated around, as if posing a shape, and then shot out one after another, starting to fight with the eye worm.

As long as the sharp water sword hits the eyeworm, it will at least cut off one of its tentacle. Although the water swords do not have Fang Qingyun's combat awareness, they have their own wild imagination as water elements. At the moment the laser hits, the water sword will disintegrate by itself, avoiding the laser beam like an oriental player dodging a barrage of bullets, and then gather again into a highly lethal weapon, piercing the unprepared eyeworm.

Several water swords quickly caused chaos among the euglena, with all kinds of lasers shooting everywhere. Not many water swords were lost, and even if they were broken up, they quickly recovered and rejoined the battle. The euglena themselves suffered, as there were laser beams everywhere that the euglena shot out to protect themselves. These lasers would often be dodged by the water swords and hit another unlucky euglena.

Seeing the euglena staggering and crashing like a plane hit by an anti-aircraft gun, Fang Qingyun did not fly up to pursue it, but chose to deal with the euglena's body below.

He was aware of his mediocre flying ability. Air combat was a matter of technological gap. Compared with the agile euglena, his flying ability was clumsy and his turning speed was slow. If he flew up and joined the air combat, there was no telling whether he would be hit by the laser beam shot at the water sword. Even if he ignored this situation, if he chased those euglena, he would probably end up being unable to catch up and being kite-dropped.

The enemy's attack range is longer than yours, they fly faster than you, they are more flexible than you, and they have more flying skills and experience than you. How do you think you can defeat such a cluster of aircraft just by being tough? When Fang Qingyun has a proper long-range attack method, he will give it a try. As for now... let's leave it to professionals like Shui Jian.

Chapter 198: Water guns are illegal?

Soon, facing the fierce water swords, the eyeworms fell into an awkward situation. On the one hand, they could not outrun these flexible water swords. Even if they managed to escape from the battlefield, those water swords would catch up with them at the fastest speed and forcibly silence their attacks.

Although they have excellent maneuverability and can move in any direction as if there is no gravity thanks to the gravity field they generate, they cannot withstand the water swords that turn into boomerangs and chase them at any time. Their proud maneuverability is just a trick in front of the water swords.

Finally, after leaving behind a large number of euglena corpses, the remaining euglena flew far away. No matter how the water sword attacked, they would not stop and would not even stay on the original tree. It seemed that these euglena would avoid this forest and find a new habitat next time...

Fang Qingyun touched his head. There were corpses of eye worms everywhere around him. Some of them were hit by their own people's lasers and hung upside down on the tree trunks. Some of them were chopped in half by the water sword and their big eyeballs were split open. But most of the eye worms died from the penetrating attack of the water sword. Maybe they didn't die immediately in the air, but after falling to the ground, they were basically dead.

After all, for hundreds of years, the earth has never lost even once in the battle between it and aluminum alloy man-made machines, not to mention the flesh and blood creatures like the euglena.

This time it can be said to be a great harvest. The water sword is not only suitable for combat, but also particularly suitable for cleaning up the battlefield. They dismember the eye worms quickly like an assembly line operation, and the incomplete parts are stored separately. They are then transformed into the shapes of various knives, and the remaining complete eyeballs and other organs that can be used for cooking and making equipment are cut off separately.

Can you believe it? In order to increase Fang Qingyun's work efficiency, these water swords even formed a water net between each other, and put the organs they collected into Fang Qingyun's bag... It was like having several extra pairs of hands. I always felt that if these water swords evolved further, they might be able to help Fang Qingyun get weapons in the future. By then, I would be able to kill an ordinary person with only two weapons, but I have six weapons.

With the help of the water sword, Fang Qingyun quickly dealt with the body of the euglena. He wiped the liquid from the euglena's eyeball that remained on his hands on the tree trunk, and continued to move forward with his weapon.

After walking out of the eyeworm forest, the elevator to the next floor is right in front of him. Fang Qingyun had seen some eyeworms from afar at the elevator before. They seemed to want to take the elevator to the lower floor, but after discovering Fang Qingyun's whereabouts, those eyeworms seemed to be hiding from the plague god. The area with a radius of 100 meters around Fang Qingyun turned into a vacuum zone, and the eyeworms made way for Fang Qingyun one after another, as if they were admitting defeat.

After watching Fang Qingyun go to the lower level, the leader of the euglena wiped his eyeballs with his tentacles, and returned to the euglena forest with a group of younger brothers to continue living here. I just hope that there will be no more such terrifying bipedal giants next time.

Fang Qingyun took a breath of air after arriving at the next floor, and strode out. Outside the door was another camp of Ximi. There seemed to be another billboard at the entrance of the camp. Moss had grown on the billboard due to the humidity.

Occupying most of the propaganda board was a poster showing an elderly man wearing a vest with the words "Diabetes" written on it. Next to it was a picture of a harmonious rural area with a beautiful life. The words "People's Happiness" were also written on the poster.

The preface and conclusion of this propaganda poster were incoherent. Even Fang Qingyun, who had perfect scores in reading comprehension in his previous life, did not understand what it meant. So he looked around it, but when he did not find the familiar obscene graffiti, he chose to ignore it and walked towards the camp.

There was a contraband box at the entrance of the camp. The yellow cardboard box looked like the express box in the previous life, with the words "If anyone hides contraband, they will be executed immediately once discovered" written on it. Fang Qingyun tore the cardboard box with a halberd. After seeing the things inside, Fang Qingyun, who thought he was prepared for everything, fell into deep thought.

The thing in front of me is a large wooden syringe, but the syringe has no needle. It looks like a water gun used by children when playing. The way to use this thing is to insert it into the water, pull the piston to absorb water by air pressure, and then push the piston to spray water.

How can this thing be considered contraband when it doesn't even conform to the shape of a gun? Could it be that someone in the upper echelons has really made a fool of themselves and thinks that anything with a 2.8J diameter can be considered a gun?

This thing doesn't even have a proper firing device, so how can it be considered contraband? If Fang Qingyun's previous guess is true, this can be explained. As long as the light of humanity between the people below is suppressed as much as possible, they can be turned into bloodless machines, so this toy that can bring laughter naturally becomes a contraband.

Fang Qingyun put away the water gun. Maybe he could take this thing back as a souvenir, but as for using it as a weapon, forget it... Fang Qingyun didn't plan to stuff slime into the water gun like in the game and fire shells by squeezing the slime. It always felt a bit weird.

Crossing the simple furnace, Fang Qingyun continued to move forward. If the previous Euglena Forest and Spider Web Forest were classic broad-leaved forest climates, then this area was a tropical rainforest climate. The shapes of these leaves were very similar to palm leaves, like a child's palm.

Perhaps to match the tropical temperature, the lights here are like heaters, full of scorching heat. The light shines through the gaps between the leaves, drawing a dusty light path in the air. The shade under the trees is a rare cool place, but the humidity in the rainforest is still relatively high. There is a sense of dampness in the air, and even the water sword that has been following Fang Qingyun has unknowingly increased in number.

Soon, the local monsters launched a surprise attack on Fang Qingyun silently. The mantis, which almost blended into the environment, jumped out from the bushes on both sides behind Fang Qingyun, without making any suspicious sounds like stepping on branches. Its two sharp front paws drew a cross behind Fang Qingyun, intending to cut Fang Qingyun into four pieces.

Considering the sharpness of its front paws, perhaps these two strikes could really scrape the paint off Fang Qingyun's armor. Before Fang Qingyun could turn around and strike it with his halberd, several water swords came from several directions and nailed the assassin to the ground.

After confirming that the mantis was nailed to death, Fang Qingyun made sure that there were no other monsters around and began to observe this natural assassin.

When standing upright, this mantis is about the same height as Fang Qingyun. It has a simple exoskeleton on its body. The hard exoskeleton is like a layer of natural light armor, providing good defense without affecting its movement.

At the same time, this light armor also has the superb camouflage ability of a chameleon. When the mantis died and lay at Fang Qingyun's feet, the camouflage on its body completely dissipated, revealing a slightly green body. Perhaps this exoskeleton is a natural camouflage material. The mass production of this natural biological material is a piece of cake for Hell, and this material is also a good choice for mass production of optical camouflage clothing.

The most eye-catching thing is the mantis's front legs, which are its hunting claws. These two claws are like two sharp arm knives, and can even produce green blade light. If someone uses the shield made from the little tree elf to resist the mantis's sneak attack, he will probably be chopped into several pieces with the shield in one encounter.

However, although this mantis was good at hiding and sneak attacks, its head-on combat ability might mean it would be killed instantly by Fang Qingyun. Fang Qingyun tried the power of the halberd and cut the mantis's body into three parts with two light sweeps. When the sharp halberd swept and cut the mantis in half, the mantis's body didn't even move much.

Controlling the water sword to cut up and pack the mantises, Fang Qingyun continued on his way. In this area, only this kind of mantis would come for sneak attacks every now and then, but there was a very obvious precursor when they attacked, that is, the surroundings would become completely silent. Perhaps it was the murderous aura of the mantis that made the small insects around dare not make loud noises. This also led to Fang Qingyun, who was used to being attacked, to let the mantis come up and die by itself by just showing a flaw.

Leaving the sultry rainforest area, Fang Qingyun rolled up his trouser legs and stepped into the hard-earned stream in front of him. The inhabitants here were no longer the evil fish, but a small fish with red stripes. There were also some other monsters living in the water, such as a shell wrapped in a water ball. This thing seemed to be called a water elf, although Fang Qingyun didn't know what the relationship between this thing and the elves was.

This thing that looks like a large cell has a volume the size of a car and has a very good ability to control water elements. It is just on par with Fang Qingyun. In the end, Fang Qingyun, who had no way to deal with the water elf with weapons, had to use the old method of flamethrowing to break the water shield on its surface and get the inactivated water element core, which is the shell-like thing, in his hand.

After catching a few more water elements and obtaining the cores, Fang Qingyun left with satisfaction. If he could master the ability to control water, the zombies in hell might be able to wholesale this special ability, which would effectively increase the combat effectiveness of hell. Stepping back, increasing the water content of hell is also a good choice.

The relatively dry hell and the orange sky once made Fang Qingyun wonder if this would have a negative impact on the growth of a sister character like Alice. Fortunately, although the situation in hell cannot be changed now, Fang Qingyun can change the buildings in hell. Now everyone has a room that suits their own aesthetic taste. Even if Fang Qingyun can't go there often, the girls are happy together and it is difficult for them to have problems with isolation.

After the introduction of water flow, at least hell will no longer be magma and flesh and blood. At least the ring of hell must be transformed. Otherwise, those who know will know that they are in a friendly hell, and those who don’t know will come in and think they are lucky enough not to be in the Brass Throne of Khorne.

Chapter 199: The organization has decided to send you to carry out the interception plan

Soon after Fang Qingyun collected several water element cores, he was attacked by a group of giant mantises and giant spiders living together. Perhaps because he had just passed a water source and his blood energy had faded, the giant mantises and giant spiders did not realize the danger of Fang Qingyun, and these two species, which should have been in a predator-prey relationship, actually joined forces to hunt.

The big spider sprayed spider silk balls from a distance to try to stick to Fang Qingyun. As long as Fang Qingyun could not turn around and could not protect his fragile back, the mantis's backstab would become more effective.

But unfortunately, Fang Qingyun simply put the shield behind him, and all the attacks of the mantis turned into a massage-like force. Apart from scratching a few sparks on the shield and making a sound of metal clashing, it was of no use at all.

The next thing to do was to deal with those spider silk balls. Fang Qingyun confidently prepared to deflect them with his water sword. However, the spider silk balls did not have a detonating fuse like before. Instead, they exploded in mid-air like a shotgun shell and turned into large spider webs that covered the area. Fang Qingyun was caught off guard and was stuck to the ground by the large amount of spider webs, unable to move.

Okay, wait for me here? Fang Qingyun did not panic. He first used his own strength to try to tear a path through the spider silk. Unfortunately, the tough spider silk was like a sticky chewing gum. No matter how hard you pulled, most of the spider silk would just be stretched and then bounced back. Even if Fang Qingyun used all his strength, the spider silk could only be stretched very long at most.

Although the spider silk that was pulled too far did lose its elasticity, it did not lose its stickiness. This only made Fang Qingyun look more messy, but did not help him escape. Instead, the thinned spider silk caused him even more trouble.

Then Fang Qingyun released his water sword to protect himself. In case a spider crawled onto him... he could probably only make the scream of a Stuka dive bomber.

After trying toxins and fire, Fang Qingyun discovered, as expected, that spider silk seemed to be a protein, and would quickly become inactivated and lose its stickiness under high temperature conditions. Therefore, when he heated up his whole body and the armor of the swamp crab turned red like a steamed crab, the spider silk peeled off layer by layer, and Fang Qingyun walked out easily like a devil from hell.

Then he caught these big spiders and mantises and beat them up. The arm blades of the big mantises could be taken off and used as weapons. Maybe he could use these materials to forge a better sword for Kikuchiyo later. As for the spiders, Fang Qingyun held back. He just felt that he had not caught enough spiders. Only by catching more spiders could the textile industry complete the original capital accumulation.

Moreover, Hell may soon be able to increase the number of plant laborers. It may be a good choice to let these intelligent plants serve as feeders for spiders. Compared to what they hated most before was being used as food, now they can ride on the heads of those animals and act arrogantly... They should not refuse. I just don't know whether the social tendency caused by such propaganda is good or bad...

As a result, dozens of spiders appeared in Fang Qingyun's large glass jar. The spiders that had entered earlier looked at the newcomers, and their compound eyes looked at each other with sympathy. "Here you are, brother?" Yes...here he is.

After dealing with the joint attack of spiders and mantises, Fang Qingyun quickly arrived at the end of this layer of rainforest. This was another camp of Ximi, but now the camp was in full swing, as if a major move was underway. The blue truck was full of luggage and furniture. Fang Qingyun also saw Ximi controlling the magic power and using his invisible hands to put a large sofa on the truck.

In addition to Ximi, Khamul and Zhiwei who had been met before, there was also a skeleton wearing a blue robe, who looked like a skeleton wizard from a Western fantasy world, except that this skeleton wizard had a flower on his head.

Seeing Fang Qingyun coming, Ximi stopped what he was doing with full energy. The big sofa lost power and fell on top of the furniture in the truck with a bang, making a creaking sound under the heavy load: "Welcome to my hometown, newcomer, although this is just my student dormitory..."

...I don't understand it. Didn't you say you already have a job as a necromancer who resurrects those office workers who died suddenly? Then why did the student dormitory become your hometown?

Seeing Fang Qingyun's confusion, Ximi did not explain anything, but tried to be as brief as possible: "If I have time, I will tell you some stories from the past. Now, due to your outstanding performance, I have decided to give you a super important task. Are you excited?"

Facing Ximi's question, Fang Qingyun raised his hand perfunctorily and made a gesture of encouragement without any motivation. This deliberate act of sabotage only made Ximi curl her lips.

"Okay, forget about that for now. Do you see the pattern on this billboard?" Ximi showed the large poster behind him. The political slogan on it was so eye-catching that Fang Qingyun didn't notice what was shown on the poster. "Don't worry about the political slogans next to it. This billboard symbolizes the hope of leaving the underground city, the star gate!"

Fang Qingyun had anticipated this. In fact, the situation was not as simple as Ximi thought. When the Puritan invaded, a large number of people in the underground city were polluted and died, turning into part of the Puritan or simply soul residue. Ximi and her friends encountered this crisis at that time.

In that critical situation, Ximi could only transform himself and Ju'er into ghost forms, but the souls of his three friends could not be protected. He could only rely on the magic power he gained to recreate his three friends according to his memory.

In other words, if the zombie soldiers created by Ximi have no brains, then Ximi is strictly speaking alone because she lives with the projections of three past friends: Khamur, Zhiwei, and Zhiwei's girlfriend Yating.

It's like facing an artificial intelligence in the form of a past friend. This contradictory situation of being like a friend but not a friend can easily cause mental problems. This is also part of the reason why Ximi is so persistent in teasing Juer. Ximi is very lonely, and Juer is her only friend in the world who is not a so-called automatic question-answering machine.

On the other hand, Ximi himself is a kind of little devil type of person, so it is normal for him to do some little pranks.

During the invasion of Purui, Naike, the administrator of the dungeon ruler Supreme Union Organization, was artificially shut down by an insider and thus failed to complete the counterattack against Purui.

If Fang Qingyun remembered correctly... there seemed to be a layer of magic or something between the star gate and the dungeon, forming a super thick barrier. Regardless of whether the star gate was a scam or not, even if it was not a scam, everyone who arrived in front of the barrier could only sigh in despair.

"The Star Gate is a space-time portal built by the Supreme United Government by exploiting engineers and magicians." Ximi was still optimistic. She described the possible future and was full of hope: "As long as we reach the Star Gate, we can leave this dark and chaotic place and promote our monster cuisine."

...It seems that there is no specific information about the star gate in Naike's database. I remember that I seemed to escape by spaceship in the end. Did I use the star gate? Fang Qingyun didn't remember it very well.

"But, all along, the stubborn Forest King at the top has been trying every means to prevent me from opening the star gate. All the skeletons I sent out were defeated by her. The skeletons I created were either too weak or too stupid, like a certain fat man." Ximi made an innocuous joke, obviously directed at Zhiwei next to him.

Zhiwei used his height and body shape to prove that he was not too weak, so he put himself in the shoes of Ximi and said, "Fuck, I heard that!"

Ximi ignored Zhiwei's protest, smiled and touched her chin, highlighting herself with colorful lights: "But your appearance has rekindled my hope. The nearest star gate to us is the prototype No. 1 left by the government for testing. It is now placed in a laboratory on the surface."

...Surface? Aren't we going to go deeper and deeper? Fang Qingyun began to suspect that there was something wrong with his memory.

"I need you to help me delay for a while so that others can move the things to the star gate. I don't expect you to defeat her, as long as you can stop her and let others get to the laboratory." Ximi seemed to be planning to let Fang Qingyun stop the King of the Forest. Fang Qingyun estimated that with his ability, it would not be a problem to stop the King of the Forest, but it would be a bit troublesome when retreating... If the star gate could really escape, he might have to knock Ju'er unconscious and carry her away.

...and there are so many plant samples that have not been collected yet. Now that he thinks about it, if the plot changes and he can leave through the surface star gate, and there are no barriers, if he leaves directly, he will probably suffer a huge loss.

Yating, floating in the air, holding a sickle like a blue Grim Reaper, floated in front of Ximi: "Boss, what do you want to put in the car?"

Without waiting for Ximi to answer, Zhiwei replied to his girlfriend first: "Oh, these are all useless junk. I said our boss is a hamster... Look at this sofa." Zhiwei pointed at the sofa that Ximi had just moved with magic power and said: "Why do we have to move the sofa when we leave the dungeon? It takes up a lot of space and its shape is not easy to move."

Ximi watched the two people interact with a smile, and said with a nostalgic smile: "But this sofa has been with us for a long time, have you forgotten when we were alive? Every weekend night, we would eat junk food like fried chicken while playing video games."

Yating added: "Zhiwei always eats while playing, and the handle is covered with oil, which makes everyone angry."

Zhiwei changed the subject guiltily: "I only know that every time we play fighting games, Juer always beats everyone."

Khamur, like an old man, appeared beside him at some point and added quietly, "As long as you stay in the back and drink like me, you won't have to endure the humiliation of being beaten up."

Ximi closed his eyes and was silent for a while, then smiled: "It seems that everyone remembers it very clearly. So, this sofa has commemorative significance to us, so if we want to move it, we can move it together."

Ximi's expression was very awkward at the moment. There was a hint of warmth in her smile, but it could not conceal her deeper sadness. The three skeletons here were all replicated according to her memory. As long as she had not forgotten, these friends would be able to answer. It felt like a puppeteer standing on the stage, and the puppets around her were puppets controlled by silk strings.

The place is bustling with noise, but when I look back, I am alone in the dimly lit place.

Chapter 200: Memories of the past

Fang Qingyun is socially anxious in front of strangers, but he is very outgoing in front of acquaintances. Seeing Ximi's sad and lonely temperament at the moment, he roughly guessed what was going on and was at a loss for a moment... Forget it, you wait here until the fried chicken is ready, I'll catch Ju'er and come over.

Fang Qingyun thought about it, then stuck his shield and halberd heavily into the ground and performed a medieval knight's salute to Ximi. He didn't know if it was right or not, but seeing Ximi's slightly happy and surprised expression, Fang Qingyun felt that his armor was well made. He walked out with his weapons in his hands in a proud and heroic manner. The three skeletons next to him looked at Fang Qingyun's back in silence.

Ximi, who rarely blushed in soul form, rubbed her face twice and said, "What are you looking at? Get back to work."

After driving away the three skeletons, Ximi picked up a faded photo from the shelf next to him. In the photo, Ximi, who was still alive, was cooking with another blonde girl with deer horns wearing a green chef's uniform. The girl with deer horns pouted her lips and placed her hands in front of her mouth in a trumpet shape. Green flames spewed out of her mouth to act as a heating stove. She had retracted her green thin tail to prevent it from blocking the way.

Yating, who was still alive next to her, looked scared. She was probably worried that Juer would set her clothes on fire while playing with fire. So, although she was very curious, she had to stay away in such a high temperature.

We can never go back to the way we were before. My best friend Ju'er has become my enemy because of my stance. The three friends are just puppets. Ximi looked down at his hands. Under the light, fragments of his light blue hands kept escaping into the air.

She doesn't have much time left. The ghost casting spell is to add a countdown to her own existence. If she can find a necromancer to cast a resurrection spell on her before she completely dissipates, then she can still be saved. Otherwise, the final outcome may be dissipation.

"So should we tell Ximi..." The three skeletons ran to a place where Ximi couldn't hear and started to work. Zhiwei hesitated for a moment and took the initiative to ask: "We actually retained our souls?"

Yating rejected Zhiwei's idea: "Now is not the time. Ximi won't believe it. Although she is carefree, she is also very stubborn. She will only think that we know the truth from somewhere and pretend to be soulless to comfort her."

"And our souls really can't leave this body, right?" Khamul added calmly, "Although we have barely retained our own thoughts, this skeleton has become a coffin for all of us... So, is it our souls that have attached themselves to this skeleton, or is it that our skeletons have the illusion that they are ourselves?"

"Don't talk about those useless things." Zhiwei interrupted Khamur's thoughts: "Then don't say it now, and confront her later. I hope she won't be too excited."

"Ximi won't do that..." Yating predicted Ximi's reaction based on her understanding of her: "I guess... at most she'll use the ghost to set off some fireworks. Anyway, she won't have a heart attack or anything like that when she's in ghost form."

"Then... should we tell the apprentice?" Zhiwei touched his chin and made a fairly reliable suggestion: "After all, we don't have the ability to predict the future. If we take precautions in advance, it can also reduce the boss's suspicion. She is the most stubborn among so many of us. Every time she loses a fighting game, she will drag Ju'er to play with her all night..."

"But now the apprentices are gone." Yating leaned on the sickle and pointed in the direction where Fang Qingyun left: "And did you find that the apprentices seem to have thinking ability? If the boss hadn't said so, I would have doubted whether the apprentices' souls were also preserved."

"..."Khamul fell into silence. He did not speak, but just stared at the passage where Fang Qingyun left. His skull face with mushrooms on it fell into deep thought.

Perhaps because he was heading to the surface, Fang Qingyun discovered that the dungeon he was going through was becoming more and more complicated, and the terrain was becoming more rugged, with a clear upward trend. It seemed that the dungeon of the Food Addiction Dungeon was not as he had imagined before, with one floor after another in a regular pattern like building a building. Instead, it was a unique method of allowing a hundred flowers to bloom and a hundred schools of thought to contend.

The rugged terrain comes in all kinds. Some are like inverted fish hooks. Only when you fly to the top will you realize that this road is blocked. Some are like two cliffs facing each other, and the cliff walls are covered with sharp spikes and fragments. If this thing pierces an ordinary person, the entire palm will be torn apart easily.

In this kind of terrain, there are quite a few large trees where euglena live. There are also some mantises around that look like they have suddenly realized the truth after attaining enlightenment in Longchang. They are standing in the posture of a sleeping arhat, with their two arm swords placed lightly aside, and pale yellow mushrooms growing all over their bodies. The largest mushroom grows from the top of the mantis's head.

This kind of mushroom seems to be called the Enlightenment Mushroom. The characteristic of this kind of mushroom is that there are two yellow dots on the cap that look like human eyes, and the largest kind has an extra mouth. Looking at the mantis's dead appearance after its sudden enlightenment... Fang Qingyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Don't ask me if I'm dead or not, just tell me if I'm enlightened or not.

This should be considered a kind of Cordyceps? Fang Qingyun was not sure. If it was Cordyceps... If I remember correctly, this kind of thing should have a high lead content, right?

"This stuff is a great tonic." Obviously, the pan gave expert advice: "Wudao mushroom is different from other cordyceps. It can be used as a seasoning to help weak patients replenish their qi and blood. If processed in other ways, it can increase the body's immunity, making you less... weak."

"It also has the function of nourishing the kidneys." Tiechui's voice sounded particularly tempting, especially when he added, "Even an old blacksmith like me knows that after eating this thing, you will directly turn into a pile driver on the construction site, and the hardest one can be used as a power hammer for forging iron."

"Well, you disrespectful old man!" Pan was furious. This old man who usually talked seriously could not get anything out of him. Now, when he encountered such a thing, his old and sultry nature was exposed: "People like you, hey! You deserve not to be able to find a companion."

"Alright, alright." Tiechui coughed twice and forced the topic to change. "After being processed, the Enlightenment Mushroom can also become a special weapon coating. It is wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant, and it also has a special blood-sucking ability. However, we usually pick the kind of Enlightenment Mushroom that can grow as long as a human face. That kind grows the largest, and the other effects will be worse..."

The hammer got stuck because Fang Qingyun started picking when he heard the two old seniors exchanging their experiences. Now the mantis in front of him, which had completely attained enlightenment, had been scraped clean, and only the mycelium in its forehead had been picked out.

Fang Qingyun was also preparing for the future. This special blood-sucking material could effectively enhance the endurance of the zombie army. After selective breeding in hell, perhaps some other changes would occur...

Well, he couldn't make up any more stories. He just felt that he might need to strengthen his time management skills, lest every serious emotional exchange and spiritual fusion become another form of torture. You can yearn for Platonic love, but you cannot force others to follow your views on love.

You said that according to Fang Qingyun's current rate of increasing family population, it is only a matter of probability that he will meet someone with stronger desires later. If he meets someone with a strong desire to dominate, then the emperor will not attend the morning court. Only by constantly moving forward can the road continue to extend, so... any gain in any aspect is necessary.

Well, yes, absolutely no evil thoughts.

After picking enough enlightenment mushrooms, Fang Qingyun also moved a few of the enlightenment mushrooms and the enlightened mantises underneath into a plastic bag. It is not known whether the blood-sucking effect of this weapon paint is only effective for melee weapons. If it can be linked with the flesh and blood magic of hell... the hell machinery, which is already very durable, will probably become even more difficult to deal with.

Continuing forward, it seemed that the environment began to show malice towards Fang Qingyun. All kinds of eye bugs, water elves, mantises and spiders, regardless of their mutual predation relationship, attacked Fang Qingyun at the same time. Even the bottom of the shallow stream was covered with piercing spikes. The joint attack from sea, land and air did not pose any threat to Fang Qingyun.
