I loaded up the monster simulator game

The surrounding wooden houses turned into gray mist and dispersed.

After the dissipated smoke almost merged with the surroundings, Cheng Chuge was finally able to see clearly the outline of the object in front of him.

He stood by the road, behind him was a wall of fog filled with twisted black shadows, and in front of him was a black forest shrouded in thick fog without a trace of green.

The fence outside the botanical garden has been integrated with the vines, and the road leading to the botanical garden has been covered with lavender moss, exuding a dim light.

Cheng Chuge raised his right forelimb. A scorpion-shaped monster that was smaller than the sarcoma scorpion and had black stripes on its body swung its boney hand without flesh underneath it and climbed in front of Cheng Chuge.

This is the clone that Cheng Chuge made before using the skill [Mimetic Splitting].

The ability of this clone is about the same as that of Sarcoma Scorpion, but its physical data are much different.

In order to save gray fog, Cheng Chuge didn't even create a lot of unnecessary flesh.

Anyway, it is used to explore the path, so there is no need to be very precise.

He cannot create hundreds or thousands of clones to fight like the mother body of the mimic human insect.

Producing clones will weaken one's own mental control. If there are too many clones, Cheng Chuge cannot guarantee how much combat power the clone group can have.

Most likely, it will be like the Mimic Human Insect, which can only issue simple attack commands, and let the clone group rush up and send gray mist to the opponent like the minions spawned in the game.

After all, the cloned thing can only attack normally.

Perhaps if there is any material for self-destruction in the future, you can try to use this skill to split, but for Cheng Chuge now, the only function of [Mimetic Split] is to explore the path.

The clone of Sarcoma Scorpion was crawling towards the one entering the botanical garden, while Cheng Chuge was concentrating on giving instructions by the wall and keeping an eye on the surroundings.

Pat pat pat——

The clone crawled slowly, and the sticky feeling of the bone palm pressing against the purple moss was shared with Cheng Chuge along with his vision.

Every time it crawls a certain distance, the moss behind the clone will slowly reveal the crawling skeleton palm prints, forming a bright purple spot in the mist.

Cheng Chuge counted silently in his mind. About three seconds after his palm leaves the moss, the purple mark will light up. Almost ten seconds later, the first lit palm print will go out.

If a monster appears, you can use these faint palm prints to determine the opponent's location and movement speed.

But now, all he can see is the purple mark created by the clone, and it has become the most conspicuous thing in the entire forest.

Cheng Chuge specifically asked the clone to wait in place for a while. After the purple light strip leading to the door completely disappeared, he asked the clone to move forward to avoid monsters following the mark directly.

After the clone walked almost two hundred meters, an attribute interface suddenly popped up in the clone's field of vision.

"The sporangia of the shadow fungus"

"Mystery: 0.01%"

"Level: Glimmer"

"Trait: Life-eating"

"Introduction: Special mines, do you want to try stepping on one?"

"The illustrated book has detected a new trait..."

"Traits"

"Life Eaters: Life Eaters have different shapes, and living as a host is their characteristic. They can strengthen the parasitic host, and they can also devour the host to find the next receptor."

New traits.

Cheng Chuge looked in the direction of the attribute interface.

It was a small bag hidden on the surface of the purple moss. If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was just an insignificant pebble.

But if you look carefully, you will see that such small stones are scattered almost all the way in front.

If the system interface hadn't automatically prompted it, Cheng Chuge might not have discovered this thing.

Was this arranged by the parasitic monster called the Shadow Fungus?

Before Cheng Chuge could start studying, there was a rustling sound from the depths of the black jungle, and the sound of torsos hitting trees.

Cheng Chuge quickly issued an order, causing Sarcoma Scorpion to quickly take a few steps back.

Deep in the misty jungle, a string of purple light spots lit up.

This is the light emitted by something stepping on the purple moss.

Something is coming.

dong dong dong-

The sound of heavy footsteps was getting closer. Cheng Chuge did not control the Sarcoma Scorpion clone to run back. Instead, he inserted his forelimbs into the ground and made the clone raise its head.

A slender bone chain was spit out from its mouth and pierced through the branches of the black tree nearby. Then the barb unfolded, the bone chain shrank, and the clone with the Sarcoid Scorpion flew upwards and landed steadily on a three-meter-high branch. Do it.

He followed the same pattern and continued to climb up with the barbed bone chain, reaching the top of the tree more than ten meters high.

If you run back, the purple light behind you will not dissipate for a long time, but will expose the Sarcoma Scorpion's location.

Under Cheng Chuge's gaze, a strange figure ran out of the misty trees in purple light.

It was a headless monster with fuzzy bat wings.

Its skeleton is covered with decayed and greasy flesh, its limbs are disproportionately slender like skin and bones, and the ends of its limbs are equipped with claw hooks.

The flesh and blood all over its body is still squirming and growing, as if it itself cannot control the constantly mutating body.

Snapped--

There was a crisp cracking sound.

When the monster rushed to the feet of the Sarcoma Scorpion clone, it stepped on a spore sac of the Shadow Eclipse Fungus.

The bloody spore cloud exploded and poured into the monster's body as if alive.

The spores continued to drill deeper along the flesh and blood of the body. In Cheng Chuge's field of vision, the twisted flesh and blood shriveled up at an extremely fast speed.

The mass of flesh and blood monster froze in place, and then was quickly decomposed into a mass of flesh and blood. The flesh and blood turned into gray mist and dissipated, leaving only a heart with a purple-red halo still beating in place.

The shimmering gray mist floated towards the blood-red spores that had covered the purple moss. Then, under the injection of gray mist, those spores condensed together and formed new sporangia.

The weird scene in front of him made Cheng Chuge feel numb. He didn't dare to think about the pain he would endure if he stepped on the sporangia.

Is this how shadow fungi hunt? The devoured flesh and blood will be transformed into new traps. It only needs to come over regularly to collect some sporangia to enhance its own strength.

This forest was very different from the two misty realms he had experienced before. It was full of weirdness. Cheng Chuge still didn't know what he was going to fight.

Monsters with hunter characteristics are better, they are simple and crude and easy to deal with. Those other characteristics are just nonsense.

At this moment, the heart blood vessel on the ground suddenly rose and was aimed at the Sarcoma Scorpion clone above the trees.

puff--

Flesh, flesh and bone stubble were sprayed out from the pipe. Unprepared, the Sarcoid Scorpion's clone was spat out with dark red blood.

"Zi..."

A stench of burnt carrion gushed out, and bursts of white smoke were emitting from the blood-stained parts of the Sarcoma Scorpion's clone. Its bones and blood were rapidly melting.

In the clone's gradually blurring vision, the heart's spouting speed of blood slowed down, and a new flesh and blood monster was being twisted and recast in the mass of flesh and blood mixed with bone stubble.

The flesh and blood of its body is still squirming, and its ferocious head with half of its hound-like teeth exposed has already taken shape. It raises its head high, and the tip of its nose is slightly twitching towards the place where the Sarcoma Scorpion clone is located.

Then, its head turned 90°, facing the direction where the clone came from and where Cheng Chuge was at this time.

what?

Cheng Chuge suddenly cut off the connection with Sarcoma Scorpion, and an indescribable bad feeling came into his heart.
