"This is a new species … a species that has never been seen before. It's more energetic than before, and there are many strange things about it."
This was … a building in the city of the Emerald Dragons.
On the ground of the building, there were many Emerald Dragons that were tied up tightly.
These Emerald Dragons were all glittering with the light of crystals, and there were so many of them that they filled the entire room. Some normal Emerald Dragons and Skeleton Dragons were observing their scales with a cylindrical object.
"This is a new type of crystal bacteria." A Skeleton Dragon finished his observation, put the cylinder aside, and said, "The infected dragons will be temporarily … frozen. It will block the breathing tube and make the dragon unconscious, but it will also provide a certain amount of oxygen so that the unconscious dragon won't die."
"After some time, when we transport the infected dragons here, these crystal bacteria will automatically dissolve the crystals that have solidified in the joints and other parts, so that the solidification will be removed and the dragon will be able to move again." The Skeleton Dragon said, "But I'm sure that their brains are affected by something and will enter a state of madness. When they wake up, they will attack any creature they see."
"Is that so … That seems troublesome." An Emerald Dragon next to the Skeleton Dragon asked, "Is there a way to treat them?"
"Of course, Master Blood Mist, the previous treatment of the crystal bacteria will work," the Skeleton Dragon said. "As long as the crystals on the surface are dissolved, the internal effects will slowly disappear …"
"In that case, a lot of drugs will have to be produced." The Emerald Dragon … or Blood Mist, said, "But treatment alone won't work. We have to solve the root of the problem. Where is the root of the problem? Is it those holes? Or … "
At the same time, on the other side …
"This seems to be the root of the problem."
This was a high mountain known as the Sky Peak. It was said that the most powerful warriors in the legends lived in seclusion here. It was said that as long as one climbed to the top of the mountain, they would receive an ancient inheritance and possess supreme divine power.
But in fact, there were no warriors here. This mountain was like a missile silo that could be opened and fired into the void.
Perhaps because the creatures were not allowed to come up, over time, because they never came up, the top of the mountain was rather … mysterious to them, and there was a legend about the divine mountain.
Now, Lin used the top of the mountain as a place to store some of the things she took from the mirror world and also to study them. Currently, Lin was studying many things at the same time.
There was such a thing, Lin called it … the Crystal Bacteria Improvement Device.
It was a very strange item. It looked like a gourd made of crystals and was only about ten meters in size. It was the most complete item Lin had brought back from the Mirror World … and also the smallest.
Its function was to improve the crystal fungi. The top of the 'gourd' was an entrance. If the crystal fungi were placed from the top, the crystal fungi would be affected by the marvelous' rays' inside.
This kind of ray looked like a very faint light. When it shone on the crystal fungi, the core of the crystal fungi would quickly mutate, causing the crystal fungi to become a different species in a short period of time.
Furthermore, the mutated Crystal Fungi could reproduce normally. Lin tried to adjust this device and found that it could mutate about ten different types of Crystal Fungi.
These crystal fungi all had one thing in common, which was that … they were the same in terms of creating crystals. But other than that, they had many other abilities. They were different from the crystal fungi in the original mirror world or the pom-poms. They were all new species.
While Lin was studying these crystal fungi, she discovered that some new kinds of crystal fungi had appeared on the pom-poms and infected the emerald dragons there.
Lin could be sure that the crystal fungi produced by this device were not lost because Lin had been monitoring them all the time.
Moreover, it was impossible for them to go from the Star Bus to the pom-poms by themselves. Even if they were teleported, the Star Bus would still be able to sense it.
So where did the ones on the pom-poms come from?
It seemed to be an unsolved mystery.
Because Lin was not constantly monitoring everything on the pom-poms, the crystal fungi that appeared on the pom-poms could be called 'Crystal Fungi Madness'. It could make the infected go crazy.
This kind of crystal fungi would gather in the air on a large scale at certain times. They looked like small specks of dust floating in the wind … It was only at this time that they became infectious. Normally, they were harmless, so they could come into contact with the infected at will.
Although Lin did not tell the dragons about the characteristics of this kind of crystal fungi, they had noticed it themselves. It could avoid infection, and it had also created something that could observe microscopic objects.
So there was no need to pay attention to it, at least not now … But Lin was very concerned about how those things appeared on the pom-poms.
Why did the new type of crystal fungi that could only be created by this device appear on the pom-poms? Could it be that the pom-poms also had such a device?
So far, no such thing had been found, so Lin decided to look for clues on the device …
Lin found that the gourd-shaped device that caused the crystal fungi to mutate … The mutation it created was fixed. It could mutate the wild crystal fungi into one of ten new species, and not a random mutation. If it was random, there would be countless mutations, not just ten.
These ten species were fully equipped with the ability to live and reproduce. They could perfectly adapt to the environment of the pom-poms and the Mirror World, and could grow on a large scale.
After Lin further tested the abilities of the ten crystal fungi, she found that they were a group of crystal fungi that could 'cooperate'. Each of them could cooperate with the abilities of the same species, which allowed them … to quickly erode everything.
First, there was a type on the pom-poms. They mainly infected creatures. They could affect the nerves, make the creatures quickly go crazy, and increase their aggressiveness, thus increasing a large number of … corpses. The smell of corpses would stimulate the crystal fungi to enter a special state. In this state, their weight would become extremely light, and they would float with the wind to infect more creatures.
After infecting a creature, they would increase their weight again, quickly invade the brain, and make more creatures go crazy, repeating the above steps … But because the Humerus Dragon and the Emerald Dragon were quite fast in healing, this cycle did not occur.
The second type, although the other types did not appear on the pom-poms, Lin speculated that this type would appear on the corpses of creatures, rapidly absorbing nutrients to grow. They would drill into the soil or the crevices of rocks, quickly crystallizing everything around them.
The third type was responsible for crystallizing liquids. Lin speculated that it was a type that targeted water bodies such as the ocean, but it could also gather in clouds, causing the clouds to fall … crystal rain.
The fourth type was a type used for construction. It could construct huge crystalline structures like coral reefs, and it was quite fast.
The fifth type was a type of virus. Of course, it was also created by the device. Not only could it transform crystal fungi into other types, it could also transform crystal fungi … into this type of virus. Lin tested it on a Transcendent creature, and found that this virus could cause the creature to produce cells similar to crystal fungi, which could produce crystals. In short, it could turn a creature inside out, to the extent of its nucleus, into a crystalline creature.
The sixth type was a type of multicellular creature. It would gather together and grow into a crystalline creature about the size of a common jade, which was about one meter long.
The seventh type … it was not clear what it was used for. It was inactive.
The eighth and ninth types were very versatile types. They mainly targeted non-cellular creatures to crystallize. Although the targets were different, their functions were similar.
There were no non-cellular creatures on the pom-poms, but there were quite a few in the Mirror World.
The tenth type's function was unknown. It was inactive like the seventh type, but the nuclear information of the two was obviously very different.
Lin believed that these crystal fungi should be used … to transform the world. If there were enough of these ten types and they were placed on the pom-poms, they might crystallize the entire pom-poms.
In the end, it would become like the Mirror World.
However, that was under the condition that they were not stopped. If it were just these fungi, even if they were large enough to surround the entire pom-poms … Lin could still stop them.
After all, Lin had once blasted away a larger number of micro-machines. Compared to micro-machines, fungi were much more fragile.
However, these crystal fungi were obviously only a part of the project. They still needed other cooperation to complete the process of crystallizing the world.
The Mirror World should be like this.
It seemed that it was not because the wild crystal fungi on the pom-poms had coincidentally crystallized the entire world after arriving in the Mirror World. All of this was planned.
The whole plan was the plan to transform the Mirror World. Originally, the Mirror World was not a crystallized world. When it was targeted and about to be transformed, those who transformed it sprinkled the crystal fungi all over the world.
Then, various devices were placed deep underground and began to transform the entire world. It was just that no one knew when they left.
The crystal fungi still crystallized the entire Mirror World and transformed the creatures there, but the follow-up was not carried out.
The ten types Lin found here should have been used to transform the world. However, in the long-term development, these ten types may have gone extinct or evolved after playing their corresponding roles, becoming the wild crystal fungi in the Mirror World now.
But this device could turn them back into the ten types used in the original transformation … This was quite interesting.
From this point, it could be known … that these transformed people should have come to take the crystal fungi on the pom-poms … if only the pom-poms in the Void had such creatures.
In this case, they might be able to find clues that they had been here. Lin felt that if they had flown over and simply grabbed a handful of crystal fungi and flew away, then the clues would be very difficult to find.
