Killing America Terror Starts at a Fatal Turn

Looking at the spider in front of him, Luke summoned a small mirror, and the rays of [Radiant Crow] penetrated through the mirror and fell on the spider.

There was no need to carefully control the power. After a few seconds, the spider, which was nearly the size of a human head, was killed by the violent radiation rays.

Sure enough, this time the spider's body rotted quickly, most of the meat melted, and only a single mushroom was left on the spot, which was the [Gaia Spore of Death].

Luke took these mushrooms into the mirror world. Mushrooms can be dissolved in a spider's body, but what about such a big python? There are a lot of animals in this forest. When a wave comes down, are they not allowed to take off?

You just have to pay attention to the rest time of the [Radiated Crows], so as not to release too much rays and cause the crows to wither.

After all, we have just arrived at the core area, and we don’t know what is waiting inside.

Luke pulled the movable [Gaia Spore Complete Parasites] in his sight one by one and cleaned them up, harvesting 3% of the experience points and more than 20 [Dead Gaia Spores].

During this period, he also tested the trees in the core area, and found that none of the trees here were parasitized by Gaia spores, which was completely opposite to the peripheral area.

Although he didn't know what the reason was, Luke carefully pulled out a few palm trees, and after using his identification ability to investigate, he finally determined that these trees were indeed ordinary big trees.

After turning all living creatures within the range of his telekinesis into mushrooms, Luke continued to move inward.

It was easy to decide which direction to go next, because there was a very obvious path leading straight ahead, as if it had been waded by some large multi-legged creature.

It was the spore tree demon that was liberated by Luke.

After getting rid of the shackles of the earth, it was also guided by some kind of force, from the outer area directly into the core, and headed deeper.

Brothers!

I set you free and you lead the way for me, a win-win situation!

Luke followed the traces made by the spore tree demon and at the same time refined all the animals found along the way into mushrooms and buried them in the mirror world.

About 1,000 meters deeper, Luke had just killed a jaguar lurking in a tree when he suddenly spotted an unusual figure - a human.

He lowered himself from the sky and walked over there.

It was a man who looked young. As Luke approached, the other party seemed to have noticed him and was running away in panic.

Hey!

I didn't expect humans to exist in such a place.

That's not right. In fact, Luke also saw a few human beings on this thousand-meter road, but they were all human corpses lying motionless on the ground. Those corpses have completely become the incubation base of spore fungi. Large pieces of fungus, Ganoderma lucidum, and mushrooms of various colors and shapes multiply rapidly on the corpses, and they look very harmonious, as if those fungi were originally their bodies. It has a weird beauty to it.

However, a living person, and a living person who seemed to retain self-awareness, was the first one Luke discovered today.

The man was not too far away from Luke, and although his physical fitness was much stronger than that of ordinary humans, he was still far behind Luke. He sped up and caught up within a moment.

"Hey, don't run, I'm not a bad person!"

Most people would probably run faster when they heard this sound, but the young man opposite actually stopped and waited, and looked back at Luke curiously.

"Are you from the outside world?"

"Of course." Luke looked at him with an innocent expression, just like the male version of the tomb dragon girl, as if he had never seen an outsider.

"What is the outside world like? Can you tell me?" This man seemed to be really innocent. Seeing that Luke looked friendly, he really let down his guard completely and came over curiously.

Faced with such an idiot, Luke was too embarrassed to mess with him directly. He was the kind of person who wouldn't have any ill will towards you if you didn't have any ill will toward me.

Of course, except when facing evildoers.

However, the opposite person was an idiot who had no ill intentions towards him and was not a bad person. Even under the observation of the identification ability, he only got a [Human/Gaia Spore Symbiosis] state.

He can actually coexist harmoniously with Gaia spores. Luke is very curious. Does this mean that Gaia spores are not that dangerous? Or maybe he has some unique means of restraining Gaia spores.

Luke did not answer the silly young man's question, but asked directly: "What is your name? Why are you here?"

The young man has little experience in dealing with people. The only person he has regular contact with is his father, and his relationship with his father is close to one order and one obedience, so he is used to obeying others.

So, he answered directly: "My name is Stefan. I have been here since I was born, but before that I was in a more central position."

After speaking, he pointed to the dense forest behind him, and then continued: "God's territory has been expanding recently, and our activity tracks have also expanded a lot."

oh?

The so-called "god" should be the Gaia spore, but I don't know why it is regarded as a god.

This child's words revealed two key pieces of information.

The first one has been within the range of Gaia spores since birth. He looks to be at least ten years old now, which means that Gaia spores have been around for a long time, but they have only recently become active again.

The second word, "we", shows that he still has companions.

Luke ignored Stefan's curious eyes and still did not answer his previous question. Instead, he continued to ask: "There are many dangerous creatures and spores here. How do you live here."

This sentence seemed to trigger some taboo. Stefan's expression tightened and he said, "Father doesn't allow me to tell others."

Luke did not continue to press, and while walking along the traces of the dryad, he continued to extract words from Stefan, and soon got a lot of information from this unworldly young man.

In this jungle controlled by Gaia spores, he and his father are the only ones who have lived together for a long time. They live in this area and will never go out of the control of Gaia spores. About a month ago, the "god" in his mouth, the Gaia spores, began to move abnormally, and then gradually expanded outwards.

There were originally some primitive tribes living nearby, but those people were affected by the power of the "god". The men turned into strange monsters, while the women were directly assimilated by the mushrooms and became one with the "god".

This thing is also sexist?

So incorrect!

He must be tortured severely with the advanced theories from the Lighthouse Country!

And, a month ago.

This time period is not far from the time when Luke discovered that special spore in the North Pole. I don't know what the connection is.

Stefan didn't even ask Luke why he came. Halfway through, he started to lead the way, carefully leading Luke around some dangerous animals, and emphasized to Luke that he must stay away from any mushrooms. Something like that.

After saying that, he still fearfully covered his mouth and nose with a mask, as if this could prevent the spores from entering his body.

Not long after, another man who looked slightly older rushed over. The information given by the identification ability was also [Human/Gaia Spore Symbiosis].

Stefan introduced: "This is my father Barend."

After speaking, he was still thinking about introducing Luke to his father, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that he didn't even know Luke's name. He could only say awkwardly: "Father, this is an outside friend I just met."

Barend was not as inexperienced as Stefan, but after he briefly asked Luke's name and origin, and got a false reason for "jungle adventure", he actually welcomed Luke's arrival and even Bring him back to their habitat.

This is a simple wooden house that looks like a hunter's cabin. Barend said that he and his wife built it together when he was a biologist. But when Luke asked about his wife's current situation, he said nothing. , seems to have some hidden secret.

After entering the cabin, Barend put down the bow and arrows behind him and started cooking.

It's called cooking, but it's actually very simple. It just boils some plant roots, and a rabbit hunted from somewhere, peels off the skin and removes the internal organs, and roasts it on the fire.

Luke had just arrived and had nothing to help him. He sat on a simple wooden pier and watched Barend who was busy.

After the meal was finished, Barend placed the porridge made from the roots of strange plants and roasted rabbit on the dining table, and said: "There is no decent food in the forest, but fortunately we have eaten these things for many years, at least there is no It’s poisonous and can be eaten with confidence.”

After saying that, as if to dispel Luke's doubts, the two started eating directly.

Luke looked at the information in the appraisal ability.

[Gaia spore active remains]

The remains of the Gaia spore parasite.

【Skill】

[Evolution]: After eating the parasite of Gaia spores, it can slowly increase the strength of the spores in the body.

[Transformation]: After being eaten by organisms other than Gaia's spore parasites, they will fall into a coma and be slowly transformed by the spores.

If you eat this thing, you will be directly invaded by spores from the inside.

Tell me, this Barend, does he know about this, or does he not know about this? Luke thought playfully in his heart.

You'll know this kind of thing once you try it.

Luke pretended not to know anything, and stuffed the food into his mouth very cooperatively. The moment he entered the mouth, all those things were put into the mirror world by Luke. Combined with the disguised chewing, it looked like a complete meal. It looks like the food has been eaten.

The only problem is that he doesn't know when this active wreckage will take effect, and he can't perfectly show the appearance of the victim.

However, there is a solution to this.

After eating most of this primitive meal, he muttered "I feel a little uncomfortable" and "My head is a little dizzy" in words with the power of [Confusion], successfully making Barend and Stefan feel that their current condition was not good. , it is very reasonable to faint immediately.

If Barend knew the effects of these foods on ordinary people, even if the time and manner of Luke's fainting were not right, he would have figured out "probably because his physical condition was too good/poor", so the result was different from what he had in mind. The effect is different, giving Luke a logical explanation for his fainting.

After muttering a few words, Luke pretended to be dizzy, swept his arm out inadvertently, knocked his bowl of soup to the ground, and then fell onto the table.

Seeing Luke fainted, Barend and Stefan both stopped and reacted differently.

Stefan looked at his father in confusion and asked: "What's wrong with Luke? Is he injured? Dad, use that to treat him."

Barend replied: "Don't worry, it's normal."

He didn't seem to care about Luke's current appearance at all, and he was not in a hurry, eating the meal in front of him slowly.

Stefan was used to obeying his father's arrangements. Although he didn't know what happened, he could only bury his head in the food and wait for his father's next arrangement.

After the two of them finished eating all the remaining food, Barend wiped his mouth and said to Stefan: "Pick him up, let's go to your mother's place."

"Mother?" Stefan said in surprise: "Didn't you say she was dead long ago?"

"That's true, but even though she died, she has been with us all the time," Barend said something obscure, then pointed at Luke and motioned for Stefan to follow. , got up and walked out.

Under the influence of past inertia, Stefan did not continue to ask questions. Following his father's instructions, he put the "passed out" Luke on his shoulders and followed him outside.

The pace of the two of them was not slow, and their bodies strengthened by Gaia spores were far superior to ordinary people in terms of strength and endurance. Even carrying a comatose man like Luke, who weighed more than 100 kilograms, was not particularly difficult.

About half an hour later, Stefan followed Barend and came to a strange big tree.

This tree is not particularly majestic, and can even be called low in this tropical rainforest where giant trees are everywhere. The trunk that connects to the ground is very thick. On the thick trunk, seven or eight thinner branches stick into the sky like fingers.

Barend motioned for Stefan to put Luke down.

After waiting boringly for a long time, Luke finally became interested. This was probably the secret hidden by Barend, and it must be related to Gaia spores.

Sure enough, Barend turned to Stefan and said, "This is your mother."

He asked Stefan to stay aside, and he came to this strange-shaped tree and knelt down devoutly.

There was a huge crack in the tree trunk facing Barend. Through Luke's mental induction, countless spores continued to form in the crack that day, and various fungi suddenly began to multiply and grow.

Barend buried his head on the ground, as if listening to something. He waited for a while and suddenly stood up, with a strong expression of disappointment on his face.

"Sure enough, this man is not good enough and God will not accept him as a sacrifice."

"She wants you." (End of Chapter)
