"What the hell is going on?"
In the cave, a creature known as the Scholar was screaming.
Just now, it had checked its whole body and found that its whole body was covered with star-like light. It was exactly the same as the Chibucha bug. The light emitted from these spots was enough to illuminate a small area around it.
Could it be that it was being parasitized by fungi?
However, the Scholar did not feel anything special at all. There was not even an itch on its body, let alone any physical pain.
What the hell was going on? Could it be that the Chibucha bug allowed this strange fungus to grow on its body?
The Scholar carefully recalled the information about this fungus. They were indeed very different from ordinary fungi. Their mycelium had a muscle-like structure, which meant that they could move freely. However, they did not grow continuously like the plague fungus. Their growth ability was actually relatively poor.
This type of fungus was usually called 'living fungi' because it looked like it could move. There was not only one type of them, but many types of them. Many different types of 'living fungi' would fight with each other using wriggling mycelium.
The Chibucha bug allowed these fungi to grow in its body and formed a symbiotic relationship with them. This fungus could not only make them glow but also do many other things. However, there seemed to be no relevant information about what those things were.
What the Scholar found strange was, how could the fungus be parasitized on the Voidfolk? Although the body structure of the Voidfolk was very similar to the usual creatures in this world, it was impossible for such a thing to happen...
With this thought in mind, the Scholar looked around. It found itself in a strange cave. It could be that the Chibucha bug had carried it here.
However. They did not cause any harm to it. The Scholar did not even know how the Chibucha bug had 'implanted' these fungi into it.
The Scholar carefully looked at its arm. It thought that the fungi should be very close to the surface of the skin, so their light could be emitted through the skin.
Although the Scholar did not feel anything, it thought that these fungi might be slowly absorbing its nutrients. Then it would soon feel dizzy and lack of nutrition. Lack of water, and then...
The Scholar did not continue to think about it. It stood up and began to think about what to do...
The imaging device was still on its body. This device was hung on the Scholar's' belt 'and was not taken away by the Chibucha bug. However, it seemed that it could not be turned on now. It was probably completely out of power.
However, the light from the Scholar's own fungi had replaced the function of illumination. It could still move in the dark.
However, where should it go?
The scholar looked at his surroundings. It suddenly smelled a strange smell in the air … This smell was …
It immediately ran in the opposite direction of the smell.
For some reason, the scholar knew that the smell he smelled was the smell of the Chibucha bug. Was it because of the parasitic fungus?
The Chibucha did not know why they had left him here, but they would definitely come back, so the Scholar quickly ran away. As he got farther and farther away from the smell, the Scholar finally relaxed.
Moreover, at this time, it saw a new scenery.
It realized that it had run under the wall of the cave, and there was a narrow hole in the wall. On the other side of the hole, it could see a ray of light shining in …
Could that be …
The Scholar immediately sped up and ran forward. Following its footsteps, the light in front of it grew brighter and brighter, and the Scholar became more and more excited!
As long as he could get outside, fix the aircraft and find a way to return to the forest where Lin's' base 'was, there should be a way to get rid of these parasitic fungi, and then explore new places!
The Scholar planned what it would do in an instant, and at the same time, it reached the bright light.
However, it did not feel the warmth of the sun. The moment it reached the light, the Scholar saw a large object coming down on its head.
At this moment, the light from before disappeared, and the faint fluorescent light from the Scholar's body illuminated the surroundings. The Scholar found itself in a narrow space. The walls around it were like stone walls, but they were moving, and they were closing in on it little by little …
The Scholar was completely unable to resist the stone wall, and it was crushed by it. As the pressure increased, the Scholar felt that its body was about to explode.
"Coo!" But in the next second, the stone wall suddenly loosened, and the surroundings became spacious.
"That's …"
At the same time, the Scholar also saw a huge, glowing worm-like creature in front of her. The creature seemed to be very uncomfortable. It kept twisting its body and retreating into a big hole in the ground.
"So this is it …"
Only then did the Scholar realize that the light was emitted by this worm, and the stone wall that was crushing it was also the worm's mouth …
The Scholar had heard of this worm before. It was called the 'Underground Lantern', and just like its name, it hunted with lanterns. The Scholar found that every time it encountered a creature, it would only remember the characteristics and name of the creature. If it could be discovered in advance, it should be able to avoid many dangers …
Just now, it did not know why the worm suddenly released its mouth and went back into the hole when it was about to eat it …
Regardless, this seemed like a dead end, but … the Scholar smelled something again at this moment.
This smell was … There was no mistaking it, it was the smell from outside! It was the unique smell of salt outside, and it had smelled it before when it was outside.
However, that smell could only be smelled when it was close to the ground. How could it be smelled from so far away? Regardless, it was more important to get out of the cave.
After this idea popped up in the Scholar's mind, it immediately ran in that direction.
The scenery of the cave kept receding. In order not to encounter any more dangerous creatures, the Scholar used all its strength to escape. Fortunately, it had completely adapted to the gravity of the pompom during its time living here, so it was not slow at all.
Soon, it saw the light of the exit.
This time … it was real sunlight!
In the next second, the Scholar stepped onto the salt ground. Feeling the warmth of the sun and the dry breeze, the Scholar almost cheered out loud!
But when it saw a large dinosaur dozens of meters in front of it, the Scholar immediately stopped cheering and quickly ran in the opposite direction of the dinosaur …
No matter what, it survived in the cave.
But what would happen next? (To be continued …)
