"It's all … meat?"
It was already nighttime here.
The huge fungal forest was no different from daytime at night. Large amounts of fungal dust blocked the sunlight, and everything was in a state of darkness.
Fortunately, Atlan's helmet had night vision, so it could see everything around it clearly. Under the suggestion of the voice in the helmet, it picked up a bone on the ground.
It was left behind by the skeleton it had just shattered. Atlan looked carefully and found that this bone was much thicker than a real Atlan's bone, and it was hollow inside.
More importantly, the hollow bone was full of flesh and liquid, and when it was shattered, the liquid spilled all over the ground.
"I understand now, these things are not 'moving bones', but living creatures with flesh and blood," the voice said. The voice replied: 「 Continue forward and see if you'll run into any more strange creatures 」
"… I don't want to." It was frightened when it saw these skeletons, but even so, it had to continue forward.
Because this creature had promised, whether Atlan completed the mission or not, it would come to save the other Atlan in this world.
But since it was still alive, it had to do its best.
And Atlan already felt a strong sense of hope, so it would not hesitate to go to the location of the mission target.
And on its way, Maya was also studying these fungi.
Perhaps because of the Hierarch's influence, Maya, who was originally not very interested in research, became interested in it, but also because it cared more about fungi.
This fungus was a very dangerous thing, and according to Atlan's observations along the way. It had obtained a lot of information. Now, it was combining these information.
'Plague Fungi' started from the beginning. It was created by its creator. Perhaps it was an unexpected creature created by its creator, and it was very difficult to control.
So its creator did not use it much …
And after many changes, these fungi obtained the brain of an Atlan species. They did not devour this brain, but let the brain command all the fungi.
Under the brain's command, the fungi infected other creatures and created a large group of infected creatures to use as weapons. It could also integrate different creatures and construct them into something even more strange.
Maya was also aware of this series of events.
However, the fungus' brain was already dead, and the plague fungus had probably lost its commander, even though they knew how to use various methods to survive without food.
However, it should be limited to that. Even if they were to go to another world, their nature should not have changed at all … Maya, on the other hand, saw that these fungi had begun to do what they did in the past in the world of Atlan …
That was to modify living creatures.
They were purely infected creatures. Then, he turned the creature into a 'puppet' that was covered in fungus and modified it. Things like fusing creatures only happened when there was a brain commanding them. Under the command of the brain, they created things like the 'Plague Leader'. The original intention was to deal with the sub-special group.
But now, Maya saw Fungus doing the same thing in Atlan's place.
They transformed Atlan and created things that were not expected.
The gigantic creatures that attacked the Atlan Caravans were modified from 'Trolls'. In Atlan, there was a type of Atlan known as' Trolls'. They were created by the brain soul from normal Atlan, and were originally used to attack pompoms.
Trolls were usually three meters tall and were suitable for using heavy weapons. However, compared to normal Atlan, trolls were less intelligent and did not survive when the fungus spread.
However, they did not seem to have been eaten completely. Now, Maya saw that they were modified by the fungus using them as prototypes.
Although there was no detailed information, Maya could deduce that the fungus might have fused a large number of trolls together and reorganized them to strengthen their muscles and other structures to create monsters that were ten times taller than normal trolls.
Why did the fungus do this? It should be related to the brain of the Atlan species.
The way the brain gave orders to the fungus might not be completely instantaneous. It might have created some hidden effects, such as … some information in the nuclei of the fungus. This information might have allowed the fungus to learn how to modify living creatures.
The brain should know how to adjust or add in some information from the nuclei. In short, it was giving out long-term orders.
Just like how the brain of the Atlan species could allow the brain-creating monsters to remember tasks for a long time after they died, this fungus-infected brain might have a similar ability. It gave out some information so that the fungus would know how to modify living creatures …
Therefore, the fungus might 'instinctively' create these modified creatures at certain times.
However, if that was the case, the fungus would only create creatures like the 'Plague Leader'.
The Plague Leader was an unfinished product. Its movements were uncoordinated and fell easily. It also had no front limbs.
And this new Atlan's modified creation had obviously been strengthened. It was like the perfected Head of the Plague. It no longer looked uncoordinated, and its movements were more agile.
Although as a creature that stood on two legs, it would fall easily when it grew to such a large size. However, it was much better than before.
Also, Maya saw something else … those skeletons.
Those skeletons seemed to be the 'creatures' created by the fungus by creating some muscle structures in the bones and then connecting the bones together.
The meaning and purpose of this creature's creation was unclear.
However, Maya felt that it was created by imitating some fungus-infected creatures when she was in the pompom.
Maya suspected that these fungi might have a certain level of intelligence. They had some very strong judgment. They knew how to change themselves according to the surrounding environment. However, they had never directly shown any intelligence. However, this situation showed that they seemed to have a purpose in creating all kinds of modified creatures …
Perhaps there was a commander among them … Perhaps it was related to the Chibucha insects.
Only when Atlan reached the destination would they know what the situation was. Perhaps it could see more strange creatures. Perhaps it could see some of the Chibucha insects that were planning something. Sending the Chibucha insects and the fungus together was obviously a mistake …
If Atlan did not succeed, Maya would have to see it for herself. So, she would save Atlan at the same time. Floating astronomy.
