Chapter 205 (1/2)
“It was the mycélium, I ate the poison one once when I was hungry. Because of grandpa Qin, I am able to live again. After I was cured by him, my eyes started to see stuff that others could not see, but it is very blurry. When it is completely dark, however, I also can’t see anything,” Xiao Si was walking while talking. He also changed his scarf to a gas mask. Presumably, it was picked up from the secret pa.s.sage.
“So it means that the spore virus isn’t totally useless. Anyone else had a similar condition to you?” Chu Yunsheng asked.
But he didn’t wait for Xiao Si’s response. He pa.s.sed the freeze gun to Edgar and said, “find Li Xi and Shan Yuxiong, ask them to help you to disa.s.semble this gun!”
Chu Yunsheng had no idea how to disa.s.semble it. But maybe those two gun hobbyists would be able to figure something out.
Looking at Edgar holding the gun tightly while running back to the camp, Xiao Si said “it is not that easy, many people had been infected with the spore poison before, but only my eyes can see in the dark. Even if the chances were to be increased, no one would ever want to try it either. Because it is too risky.”
Chu Yunsheng nodded his head. What Xiao Si said was true. It didn’t really matter to them much if they could see in the dark. No one wanted to risk their life for such a small thing.
Darkness was not only a problem of the ordinary people, but it was also the problem of the dark warriors and Chu Yunsheng as well. Unless he was able to break through Yuan Tian stage two and reached stage three, where his six senses would be enhanced to a degree that he could “see” the world through the dark energy.
However, his cultivation level had stopped at stage two for a very long time now, he couldn’t even progress from the second sub-stage of Yuan Tian stage two.
After coming out of the camp and entering the prosperous spore plants forest, Xiao Si became very cautious, although he did not sleep last night, compared to the life of Jing Mouyou, he could still endure it. To him, the quicker he led Chu Yunsheng to the place he wanted, the sooner Mouyou would be cured.
Keeping footsteps quiet was the key when walking in the spore forest, otherwise, the noises would attract a lot of strange monsters, especially those lantern-like monsters.
Time slowly pa.s.sed as two people lurked in the forest.
Chu Yunsheng was thinking of eating some poison mycélium to see if it could increase his eyesight while walking.
“Mr. Lennon, look! The place we are looking for is at the front!” Xiao Si suddenly stopped, pointed to a few big mushrooms and said.
“Are you sure?” Chu Yunsheng looked around and asked while taking out the dark energy gun.
“Yes, that place used to be a highway junction, a lot of people were blocked there when the insects appeared, and a lot of people died as well. When the spore plants appeared, they covered most of the bodies, this place then became the main origin of the flying head monster,” he swallowed very hard and his eyes flashed with fear, “if… If… I didn’t crawl out of the pile of the bodies.. at that time… I would’ve probably… probably…”
“Wait for me outside, I’ll be out in half an hour!” Chu Yunsheng said to him. A flying head monster was a lot weaker than a purple flame monster. To him, its danger level couldn’t even compete with a red-sh.e.l.led insect. But to Xiao Si this ordinary person, it could kill him at any time.
He still needed Xiao Si to take him back to the camp, the road inside the spore forest was much more complex than he had imagined. In the beginning, he could still remember how many turns he took, but the longer he walked, the more confused he became. In the end, he totally lost his sense of direction.
So to be on the safe side, he asked Xiao Si to wait outside. Xiao Si also appeared to be relieved when Chu Yunsheng asked him to wait outside.
But Chu Yunsheng didn’t really care about his reaction. He held the gun and walked straight into the land of the dead behind the big mushrooms.
Have to say, the spore plants here were even more colorful and prosperous than the other places Chu Yunsheng had seen. Presumably, the dead provided decent nutrition to those plants.
As Chu Yunsheng stepped onto a pile of foam-like spore plant’s leaves, it instantly caused a rustling sound. The sound immediately alerted many flying head monsters that were originally hidden in the mushrooms and other spore plants.
Compared to the previous encounter, which happened in the dark, this time the sky still had the hazy s.h.i.+mmer. The appearance of the flying head monsters was clearer. Apart from two wings on each side of the head, Chu Yunsheng could see that the top of the head was as bald as a pebble, but its face was completely dried out like a deflated balloon.
There were yellow smokes constantly coming out of their mouths and they were constantly flapping their wings to make creepy noises. When they heard the noises Chu Yunsheng made, they all flocked towards Chu Yunsheng.
Chu Yunsheng moved back one step and immediately summoned the five green-sh.e.l.led sh.e.l.ls to a.s.sist him.
