Chapter 259: Spores
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Just as they were wondering what was going on, the Mushroom Man’s body seemed to have expanded to his limit. He looked like a fully expanded balloon.
Although there was still energy pouring into the Mushroom Man’s body, he could no longer continue to expand. If this continued, he would explode sooner or later.
Chu Ze did not panic at all when he saw this because the energy fluctuation was not strong and could not cause any harm to them.
Little Fox asked tentatively, “Why don’t I try to attack?”
At this time, the Mushroom Man expanded into a ten-meter-large ball, but the ball didn’t look as elastic as before.
Chu Ze thought for a moment and said, “Let’s retreat for a while before attacking.”
Just as they were about to retreat, they heard a sound like a balloon suddenly leaking air.
Everyone looked at the Mushroom Man in surprise.
The Mushroom Man had expanded so much just to make a hole in the top of his head to deflate? It was obviously not the case.
Through Chu Ze’s perception, countless tiny spores had been sprayed out of the hole in the Mushroom Man’s head.
Chu Ze then realized that the Mushroom Man had not appeared to attack them. The Mushroom Man had only wanted to spray out the spores.
When the others saw this, they all wiped their sweat. “All our strained nerves are unnecessary. It turns out that this evolutionary creature didn’t intend to attack humans. It just wanted to spread the seeds.”
Everyone who had originally wanted to relax became nervous when they heard Li Feng’s words.
Madman shouted, “Quickly destroy these seeds. If these seeds fly out, who knows how many evolutionary creatures will appear.”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. It really was just as Madman had said.
In nature, it was very difficult for an evolutionary creature to reproduce. Moreover, they had never seen an evolutionary creature reproduce up to this hour.
This was mainly because when an evolutionary creature had just begun to evolve, its difference in levels with other creatures would be very big. This also caused their difference in size to become very big. Basically, they could not find an evolutionary creature that was about the same size as them.
However, Madman and the others had neglected the plant-type evolutionary creature. Plant-type evolutionary creatures did not need to be similar in size to reproduce.
Just like this mushroom, they could reproduce on their own.
The seeds that were shot out this time numbered in the trillions and the air was now filled with spores.
Just as they were thinking of a way to block the hole that was spewing out spores, the wind started to blow.
Madman, who sensed the wind, was despairing. As long as these seeds fell to the ground, they would definitely turn into evolutionary creatures.
It wouldn’t be long before the entire area was filled with mushrooms. At that time, it would become a forbidden area for life.
“It’s over, it’s all over. These spores have been blown away by the wind.”
“Don’t bother, it’s already too late.”
Seeing Madman’s state, Chu Ze cursed, “Bullsh*t, hurry up and help. If you give up like this, won’t more spores spread out? Hurry up and get up.”
Although Chu Ze said so, he actually didn’t have any good methods to stop the spores from spreading.
He could only keep casting Fire Spells at the mouth that spat out the spores.
Chu Ze didn’t know whether the Fire Spells would work on the spores or not. He had no other way.
In fact, Chu Ze’s spells had no effect on the spores. The rising heat generated by the flames actually accelerated the spread of the spores.
After being scolded by Chu Ze, Madman began his work. He knew that the spores could no longer be stopped, so he began to collect the spores in order to prepare for the elimination of the mushrooms in the future.
He took out a special storage device and began to collect the spores. He did not join the team to destroy them.
The Pioneers who had been waiting for so long in the distance began to get anxious. They rushed over to help after seeing what Chu Ze was doing.
Li Manman was the first to react. She waved her hand and threw out a lump of ice.
When the lump of ice came into contact with the Mushroom Man, it exploded. The Mushroom Man on the ground was frozen into an ice sculpture. However, this did not stop the Mushroom Man from continuing to spew spores.
After seeing the Mushroom Man frozen into an ice sculpture, Chu Ze had an idea. He cast an Earth Spell and an Earth Ball appeared in the air. Then, it accurately landed in the hole where the spores were spewing out.
The spores were finally stopped from continuing to erupt. However, the spores that had already erupted could not be retrieved.
The gust of wind just now had already blown the spores far away.
The rest of the matter was left to the Pioneers. Chu Ze had nothing to do with it.
The Pioneers began to dig up the ground, wanting to dig out the entire Mushroom Man because the Mushroom Man had not died after the spore eruption. If they left it there, it would not take long for the Mushroom Man to recover.
Just as they were digging up the ground, they heard a cracking sound.
The frozen Mushroom Man’s roots broke, and the Mushroom Man’s roots quickly shrank into the ground.
By the time everyone reacted, the roots under the ground had disappeared. Even Chu Ze’s Dragon Eye could not find out where the roots had gone. It seemed that they had run far away.
Seeing this situation, Chu Ze sighed and said, “There’s nothing we can do. We have to increase our strength.”
“If we had the strength of the White-robed Man, we would have been able to break the newly appeared ball with a sword energy. This situation wouldn’t have happened.”
After collecting the spores, Madman walked over and said, “Don’t be discouraged. I’ve collected a lot of spores. When I develop a potion that can target these mushrooms, I’ll spray it over a large area.”
Chu Ze knew that Madman was just comforting them. It was almost impossible to develop a drug that could deal with such a high-level evolutionary creature. Only Madman would know the difficulty.
“I’ll leave the rest to you. We won’t be of much help to your research.”
Madman chuckled and said, “Actually, you’re still of some help to me. I’ve already used up all the green furs I collected from you. Why don’t you cooperate with me again?”
Chu Ze didn’t refuse. He knew that these green furs were the best materials to deal with evolutionary creatures. The green furs from Madman’s hands were very powerful in making weapons.
After that, Chu Ze took the initiative to cooperate and allow Madman to collect the green furs. The others also started to clean up the place. After they were done, they also went to carry out their own missions.
Madman said to Chu Ze, “In the past, because I didn’t have enough green furs, I couldn’t do many experiments. You have to cooperate with me well this time.”
“I estimate that a large area of mushrooms will appear here in a few months. Moreover, these mushrooms should all be evolutionary creatures.. By then, I’ll have to rely on the green furs on your body.”
