Evolution from mushrooms

A wild dog runs wildly on the grassland.

In biological classification, it belongs to a subspecies of gray wolf.

It sprinted across a ditch, jumped seven or eight meters, and then landed heavily.

It fell to the ground along with the spore dust on its body.

Mushrooms sprouted from its back, but they were not fatal.

Instead, the mushrooms give it extra strength.

Whenever it finds prey, it becomes excited and its blood flows rapidly. The mushroom’s mycelium will detect this change and secrete trace amounts of hallucinogens.

This will stimulate the nervous system of the wild dog, making it excited and aggressive.

The equivalent of a dose of adrenaline.

This greatly increases the probability of wild dogs successfully chasing prey.

Of course, Chen Mo didn’t act as a good guy for nothing. In fact, he controlled hundreds of such wild dogs, spreading spore dust all the time.

The species on this continent are relatively peculiar, and the closed environment has created a fragile ecosystem.

Wild dogs, an alien species, have had no place on this continent in recent years.

Nowadays, there is no more planned hunting and population control by humans.

They breed unscrupulously.

Mutation will make creatures more powerful, but the problem is that animals that are already stronger than you are also mutating.

How to crack this?

There is a high probability that you are still its prey.

This is especially true for wild dogs at the top of the food chain.

They come in swarms and are extremely terrifying.

The power of groups is basically unexplainable in nature.

Although the adaptability of 6.7 does not allow Chen Mo to adapt to all environments, it is not a big problem to survive in tropical areas with plants.

Therefore, the mushrooms spread rapidly throughout the kangaroo country under the wild dogs.

Only one day has passed since the first spores fell from the armored vehicle.

Chen Mo has expanded to the surrounding area of the entire lake, and has controlled two wild dog groups, starting to spread further.

Wild dogs can run for fifty or sixty kilometers without stopping.

This is still considering life.

If hallucinogens are used to stimulate them continuously, they can run for at least a hundred kilometers before dying of exhaustion.

But Chen Mo wouldn’t do that.

Because he discovered something interesting.

That is, dingoes are addicted to the spores’ hallucinogens.

Yes, you heard it right, addiction.

If the mushrooms on their backs are knocked off, they will even take the initiative to rub the place where the mushrooms are, so that the spores can reattach to their bodies in the hope of growing mushrooms.

Chen Mo felt very interesting when he saw this scene.

At the same time, an idea flashed in his mind, and he began to use telepathy to guide these wild dogs.

So, a very peculiar custom emerged among the wild dogs.

That is to help similar parasitic mushrooms.

All wild dogs like mushrooms, but parasitism is not that simple because the thick gray hair prevents the spores from growing.

They then let their fellows give themselves a mouthful on the buttocks.

Then, smear on the mushrooms.

This custom will be passed down and spread from generation to generation, because wild dogs are group creatures and their learning ability, especially their ability to learn and communicate with the same kind, is very strong.

There is also a strong emphasis on collectivity

“In a few years, this strange symbiotic relationship will spread throughout the wild dog community, haha……Biologists in the future may have difficulty explaining this strange symbiosis.”

Chen Mo couldn’t help but complain easily.

Being addicted to mushrooms, Chen Mo is equivalent to indirectly controlling the entire wild dog population.

However, this does not mean much to him. He just relies on the wild dogs to spread.

How far he can develop in the end depends on Look at the miraculous work of nature.

But when it comes to addiction, Chen Mo can’t help but think…….Thinking that I have been promoting the Quiet Rain Mushroom among humans for a long time.

This mushroom was originally a tool that could detoxify and push Liu Ru to the top.

But unexpectedly, it was later promoted as a drink containing a small amount of hallucinogenic ingredients.

Properties are similar to coffee and tea.

Even now, Liu Ru has the habit of soaking in the ‘quiet rain mushroom’ to refresh herself.

Just like making coffee

“If I slowly adjust the ingredients to increase the addictiveness……”

Chen Mo couldn’t help but have this thought flashing through his mind.

The addiction does not need to be too high, it is almost as high as tobacco.

It is possible to quit, but it is extremely difficult to quit.

And as a master of genes, Chen Mo can accurately adjust the addictive ingredients so that Jingyu mushrooms do not contain harmful ingredients.

That way, no one will want to quit.

And Chen Mo’s power will be further enhanced in the field of existence among humans, and may be of great use in the future.

Chen Mo has penetrated both aspects of life and psychic abilities.

Psychic mushrooms are the leading psionic technology, and quiet rain mushrooms are leisure food.

“In the future, as my abilities improve, I can also adjust the Quiet Rain Mushroom, and I may be able to influence a large number of humans without anyone noticing.

Now you can start to adjust the taste of Jingyu mushroom so that it tastes best and has the best effect when it is fresh.

In this way, I can unknowingly guide humans to eat the freshest Jingyu mushrooms, leaving room for my future operations.”

Chen Mo thought about this possibility carefully.

After all, the fresh Jingyu mushrooms are still active, and he can still control them. Depending on the situation, he can temporarily make the Jingyu mushrooms secrete more hallucinogens for manipulation, or secrete venom to kill people. Intangible.

It’s all possible.

If the Quiet Rain Mushroom infiltrates most of the human race, it may not be possible to kill the scientists among humans, kill the”key figures”, and implement a technological blockade. Come on!

The role of a technology master cannot be ignored!

If Chen Mo kills one, he may be able to delay the advent of a technology for several years.

By then, no one will suspect that it was a mushroom. The other major powers will take the blame.

It can even provoke internal conflicts among humans.

The more Chen Mo thought about it, the more he thought this plan was good.

Roar!

A roar brought Chen Mo back to reality.

He was hunting a kangaroo. He was surrounded by wild dogs.

He desperately wanted to break out, but with Chen Mo around, he obviously couldn’t succeed.

Soon, the kangaroo, which stood nearly 3 meters high, was hunted by the wild dogs. The previous strategy of eating them clean left half of the corpses on the ground.

Soon, mushrooms began to grow on the corpses.

Chen Mo controlled the wild dogs and continued to hunt various animals, ranging from kangaroos to lizards. Yu, even the scorpions are not spared

【Event]: You absorbed scorpion flesh and blood and obtained 10% of scorpion genes. You extracted usable genes from them. Your genetic structure was optimized, your toxin genes were enhanced, and the secreted venom can slowly penetrate through skin cells. , risk +0.1……

“This scorpion is great!”

Chen Mo immediately began to collect more scorpions to obtain a complete genetic map.

After several wild dogs were stung and foamed at the mouth,

Chen Mo finally completed the collection of the scorpion genetic map.

【Information]: Your research on ‘Evolutionary Clues, Efficient Absorption’ has made progress. The carbon-based biological knowledge reserve has reached +1000, and the current research progress has reached 90%.

After two busy days in Kangaroo Continent, Chen Mo finally advanced the research progress to 90%.

And it occupied 10 additional springs.

Each of these springs can provide Chen Mo with about 1 evolution point every day.

Through psychic mushrooms, he can gain 50 evolution points every day.

Most of what I occupy was acquired today.

So after two days, Chen Mo had 150 evolution points on hand!

Of course, this includes the proceeds from hunting some mutated creatures.

It’s really cool to occupy so many springs by one person!

Chen Mo has already experienced this feeling of pleasure.

It was a brilliant move to take the risk of manipulating human psychic technology!

It brought him great benefits.

Many animals mutate into extremely powerful states just by occupying one spring, but he alone controls every spring in the world!

At this moment, if you pick any country, no one can obtain as much psychic energy as Chen Mo alone!

“Only the last ‘toxin’ gene is left to be upgraded!”

Chen Mo suppressed his excitement, turned his attention back to Weiyi Island, and began to make final preparations.

There were already sea monsters fighting here.

Chen Mo did not disturb them, but kept them.

It was just used for testing. See how powerful the new abilities are!

【Warning]: You are trying to use evolution points to recombine and evolve the ‘toxin’ gene, which may increase the toxicity of the secreted toxin and is corrosive (99.99% probability). It is worth noting that this operation may lead to unknown consequences. (0.01% probability)! Please choose carefully.

Chen Mo did not hesitate and directly invested 10 evolution points.

【information】：‘The toxin’ gene has undergone recombinant evolution, and you have obtained the ‘toxin type 2’ gene. With its support, your secretory cells can secrete toxins. The damage range of toxins has been expanded to a certain extent, especially for the nervous system and proteins. Has a strong destructive effect. continue!

Chen Mo then invested 20 evolution points.

After acquiring the ‘Toxin Type 3’ gene, this gene is more toxic. Not only that, Chen Mo secretes venom faster.

Continue, invest 30 evolution points, and obtain the ‘Toxin Type 4’ gene.

At this point, Chen Mo’s probability of losing control is only 80%.

The reason is that a lot of toxin-related enhancement genes were obtained before.

This resulted in Chen Mo having sufficient technical reserves in this area.

Therefore, recombinant evolution is less likely to get out of control. continue

【Information]: You have recombinantly evolved the ‘Toxin Type 4’ gene, and you have obtained the ‘Toxin Type 5’ gene. With its support, your secretory cells can quickly secrete toxins, and the damage range of the toxins has been expanded to a certain extent. , has a strong destructive effect on cellular structure organisms, and is easily soluble in lipid substances. hiss……Easily soluble in lipids?

Chen Mo took a breath of cold air.

This toxin is absolutely terrifying in its lethality to living things.

You know, the interior of the cell and the cell itself require a large amount of lipids!

Consciousness that is soluble in lipids is actually easily soluble in flesh and blood!

In other words, as long as there is direct skin contact, direct poisoning may occur.

No inhalation or oral administration is required.

It can penetrate directly through the skin.

And there is no way to detoxify it!

Because this poison penetrates directly into cells, detoxification methods such as hemodialysis and serum are useless.

Chen Mo immediately prepared to experiment.

Activate the ‘Toxin Type 5’ gene!

Immediately, toxins begin to be secreted. boom!

A spore cannon blasted out.

In order to test the effect, Chen Mo used the smallest caliber spore cannon.

The sporangia produced are only about the size of a thumb.

But the accuracy is better.

It accurately hit a big fish with no wounds.

This fish has a mouth full of fangs and has bone armor growing on its back. It is one of the most powerful fish in the group. In the short time it took for Chen Mo to evolve his genes, it had already killed two miscellaneous fish.

The oracle fish was hit by a spore sac on its back, and with a bang, a cloud of spore dust exploded.

Then, no response.

Chen Mo was about to be stunned.

The fish scales in that area suddenly began to change color.

All turned black.

Yes, it turned black quickly, as if it had been stained by ink.

Then, with the violent movement of the fish, the meat in that area fell off as if it was rotten.

All black.

The blood inside is also black.

Roar!

The oracle fish screamed, crawled forward for a while, and then became silent.

It only took about 10 seconds from the time the oracle fish was shot, to the protein deterioration and blackening, and then to death!

Chen Mo was stunned.

Isn’t this too poisonous?

He is just causing the surface of the spores to secrete venom!

If a launching device evolved that could contain this kind of venom, wouldn’t it be an instant kill?

“Haha, but 10 seconds is equivalent to an instant kill.”

Chen Mo smiled.

The sea monsters around were startled, and the fighting stopped a little.

The death of the turtle was really scary!

The whole thing began to turn black, with a big hole on the side, and there was no stop. Corruption, flowing out of black water.

It was like being hit by a sulfuric acid bomb.

Chen Mo understood that this was the effect of toxins that caused the cells to disintegrate. It looked like the flesh was melted by something. These seas looked very shocking.

Monsters also have certain intelligence, and it is normal for them to be frightened and shocked.

But after all, their nervous systems are very underdeveloped. Even if they gain additional evolution, their animal nature will still prevail.

After a while, they will fight again under the stimulation of flesh and blood. Together.

Chen Mo also started the final step of preparations.

【Evolutionary clues]: Efficient absorption. Based on existing genetic data, you have developed an evolutionary structure, a ‘crag’. This structure allows you to improve the morphology of mycelium, allow it to develop in large quantities, expand into a carpet, and expand the range of nutrient intake. It also has the ability to modify the local environment, which can increase adaptability by +10 and danger level by +5.

“Finally finished!”

Chen Mo was very excited.

He couldn’t help but be excited. This is a major improvement in the mushroom form!

It can be seen from the explosive increase in adaptability and danger level that this is a very aggressive and expandable organ.

“Creep……Gee, isn’t this like a Zerg carpet?”

Wherever it goes, it swallows everything and everything is corrupted.

The fungus carpet that has evolved to the extreme can even spread to the whole world, wrap up the entire planet, and directly use the planet as a source of nutrients.
