Chapter 410 New Mushrooms
Witnessing this scene, everyone was completely bewildered. Canglong leaned weakly against Cangjin, raised his hand and tightly gripped Cangjin's arm, his mouth trembling as he asked to confirm, "Those are the water bubbles of the Spirit Spring Clan, right? Did you see them?"
Amazing! The Spirit Spring Clan, as natural users of water bubbles, never even considered that water bubbles could be used in this way. Their imagination is truly incredible.
Cang Jin was speechless, but he couldn't deny that Le Zhi had indeed found a new function for the water bubbles. "If I had known there was this method, I wouldn't have had to go through all that trouble to find the water clothes."
As he spoke, he tried to create bubbles to envelop his body, but he always failed. However, the successful case of Lezhi was there, which showed that it was very feasible; they just hadn't mastered the method.
So, the two members of the Lingquan Clan continued their journey while training themselves to use the water bubbles again, while the others looked at Lezhi and the others with disbelief, feeling that the world was changing too fast and they couldn't keep up.
Lei Xiu was the calmest one. There were so many illogical things about Le Zhi, and it was just a matter of improving the use of the water bubble. It wasn't worth making a fuss about. In fact, he was even eager to try it out. He planned to have Le Zhi make him a water bubble when he had time, so he could prepare ingredients and cook for Le Zhi on the road. This way, he could travel and eat at the same time, which was perfect.
No one knew that Lei Xiu had such a depraved idea, not wanting to take any rest time, while the others were still rushing on their way, completely unaware of what was going on.
The distance between the Huanyin Clan and the Hanhai Clan is not far, but this is only in comparison to the distance between them and the Lingquan Clan. The actual distance, even without rest, would take two days.
This kind of rushing is only necessary under extreme circumstances, but this is the extreme situation now. Fortunately, the people who came with us were all members of the escort team, and the only ordinary person was Lezhi, the little monster. Traveling at full speed is not a big problem for this group.
For the next two days, the group seemed to return to wartime, focusing intently on their journey without much conversation. They would only occasionally glance at the strange light or unusual sound emitted by the water bubble on the turtle's back before continuing on their way.
They ate whatever they caught on the road, eating as they went.
Fire cannot be lit underwater, and if they want to eat cooked food, they have to surface to find land. This may be why aquatic creatures are accustomed to eating raw food.
During a break, Lezhi helped Lei Xiu set up a kitchen as requested, and then saw his aquatic friends eating underwater, suddenly understanding the origin of their preference for raw food.
To put it bluntly, it's all about survival.
He was distracted for a second, then focused on his research again. Apart from eating, he hadn't closed his eyes for the past two days. When he was engrossed in something, he didn't feel tired. Especially when he thought about the patients waiting for him, Lezhi was like he had been injected with chicken blood.
Perhaps sensing his determination to accomplish this, the experimental results went almost exactly as he had planned, until the first finished product was completed. By then, they were already very close to the Phantom Sound Clan.
Even before they arrived, they had already alerted their tribesmen through the sound transmission conch, so when they finally arrived at the Huanyin tribe, although it was already night, there were still people there to greet them.
"Clan leader..."
"Okay, that's fine. No need to greet them. How's the place I asked you to arrange? Has everyone arrived?"
"Yes, everything has been arranged according to your requirements. The person is already waiting. I'll take you there."
"Hold on."
With everything in place, everyone looked at the strange water bubble on the turtle's back. Lezhi's research was also nearing its end. He brought the finished product to life and made sure everything was under control. Lezhi emitted a bright light, which then faded away.
Looking up, she saw everyone else waiting. Wiping away the water bubbles around her, Lezhi approached Miaoyin and said, "Let's go, let's begin."
"Okay." Miaoyin couldn't hide her excitement. Ji Ying wanted to say something, but thinking of the patient's priority, she held back and followed with her people without saying a word.
Lei Xiu and Canglong Cangjin fell to the back of the group, while the tortoise stayed in place, as if it knew that Lezhi would come out soon, so it was not in a hurry to leave.
She told her entourage to disperse and rest, and then Miaoyin led the others to the house that had been prepared in advance. Everyone present was familiar with the treatment process, so there was no need to say more. Lezhi started the treatment immediately. The number of shadow patients in the Huanyin Clan was less than that in the Hanhai Clan and about the same as that in the Lingquan Clan, so the treatment ended quickly.
Only after confirming that the dark shadows in the bodies of all the tribesmen had been removed, and that Lezhi hadn't forgotten to promote the growth of the chocolate fruits to nourish their bodies, did Miaoyin step forward under the excited gazes of the tribesmen and ask, "Lezhi, thank you so much. What are your plans next? Just let us know if you need anything."
"What happens next really depends on your cooperation." Le Zhi smiled slyly and raised his hand to make several mushrooms grow. Ji Ying and Cang Jin also came forward to listen carefully to Le Zhi's explanation.
"These are mushrooms that I've cultivated over the past two days that can grow in water. One for each of you." He handed one to Miaoyin first, then to the others, and finally to Lei Xiu.
"Is this any different from the mushrooms you used on patients before?" Cang Jin asked curiously.
"Of course, the biggest difference between these new mushrooms and the previous ones is that they don't parasitize organisms, but rather affect the environment directly..."
Moreover, unlike the mushrooms that were previously used specifically for humans, the mushrooms used for humans must be picked before Lezhi can absorb their energy. Otherwise, if Lezhi's energy comes into direct contact with the tribespeople, it will erode their talents.
Once the new mushroom has grown to maturity, Lezhi will be able to sense it through the mushroom itself. At that point, he can ignore the constraints of space and distance and directly absorb the shadow energy that is firmly sealed within the mushroom.
This is achieved mainly by utilizing the characteristics of the leaf beetle, and by hybridizing and fusing mushroom spores and water lilies.
The finished product was even more perfect than he had imagined. In addition to retaining the main characteristic of feeding on shadows, the fusion with water-cloth allowed them to continue growing underwater. The characteristics of the leaf insects also gave the mushrooms insect genes, which allowed Lezhi to remotely control and absorb the energy from them.
Mushrooms used by humans are different. They are just plants. Although mushrooms can sense the condition of spores through their own bodies, they cannot remotely absorb that energy, nor do they need to.
To Lezhi's relief, his ability to sense the Zerg, aside from causing him distress, finally had some practical use.
…………
"My mother tree, this is amazing! So this mushroom is now amphibious, able to grow in any environment, right?" Canglong was the first to exclaim in admiration; he was the kind of person who wore his emotions on his sleeve. Seeing Lezhi nod, Canglong's smile widened.
"That's amazing! If that's really the case, we won't have to worry about encountering shadows anymore. We can just throw mushrooms when we feel danger," Ji Lin continued, already mentally simulating how to use the mushrooms, getting more and more excited as he thought about it.
The others didn't stand idly by either; they showered Lezhi with praise as if it were free. After the praise, more questions arose about how to use the mushroom.
Knowing they were anxious, Lezhi patiently answered their questions one by one.
"...Only the secondary mother can release spores. Before I leave, I will generate enough secondary mothers. You just need to carry them with you. When you get close to the shadow, it will actively release spores. At that time, you just need to leave that place in time..."
"Once the shadows in that area are completely absorbed, the spores will grow and look similar to before. You don't need to worry about the rest; I will handle it and leave no hidden dangers."
Lezhi didn't reveal the detailed reasons behind it, only mentioning the effects. Whether you believe it or not is up to you; anyway, once you try it once, everyone will know how effective this mushroom is.
