Royal Beast: I Can Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 277 Cordyceps Symbiosis

Um?

Seeing that Cordyceps dared to play tricks on him, a dangerous light suddenly appeared in Bai Qi's eyes, and Alpha had already raised the sword of death, intending to kill Cordyceps.

Ahem, hero, don't worry, just listen to my explanation.

Seeing this, Cordyceps took a few steps back and said, I'm not joking, it's really strange that I'm in this situation.

Strange? Let's hear it.

The mixture of plants and insects is indeed rare.

Cordyceps sorted out its thoughts briefly, and suddenly there was a sense of desolation on its body.

Once upon a time, I was a carefree dream vine, entwined on this ancient tree every day, absorbing the nutrition of the ancient tree, sharing each other's dreams with the ancient tree and the surrounding plants, life can be regarded as Carefree.

But one day, the ancient tree died, and there was no companion to share the dream with, so I fell into a long deep sleep.

Hearing this, Bai Qi couldn't help interrupting Cordyceps, and said, So, you are a dream vine?

Cordyceps shook his head and said, Don't worry, hero, I haven't finished my story yet.

Is there a story?

Bai Qi immediately became interested when he heard the words, so he simply asked Shu Ke to conjure a chair and sit on it, and asked Gamma to pick a few angel fruits to eat.

Eat melons, eat melons, how can you do without melons?

Cordyceps was silent for a moment, and the aura on her body suddenly changed, becoming cheerful.

Once upon a time, I was a happy spirit-eating insect. By boarding on different creatures, I continued to increase my experience and roam freely in the world. Until one day, I smelled a tempting smell, and I was caught by this creature. Attracted by the smell, I came to a valley...

Wait a minute, you will be a vine for a while, and a worm for a while, dare you really be a caterpillar fungus?

Bai Qi couldn't help interrupting Cordyceps's words after hearing half of it, and complained.

Cordyceps? This name is very suitable for my current state.

Cordyceps sighed, and said: Although I don't know what caused it, but now it can indeed be regarded as a combination of spirit-eating insects and dream vines.

A combination of spirit devouring insects and dream vines?

Bai Qi was taken aback for a moment, and information about the spirit-eating insects suddenly appeared in his mind.

【Name】: Spirit Devourer

【Attribute】: Insects

[Bloodline Level]: High Lord

[Introduction]: Spirit-eating insects can snatch the control of the host by gnawing on the nerves, brains and even the host of the host, and can nourish themselves with the flesh and blood energy of the host. With a stronger host, it is an existence that both beasts and humans hate.

I see. Is it a parasitic worm?

Bai Qi was suddenly stunned. Looking at the shape of the Cordyceps half-worm and half-grass, he said, So, you are a spirit-eating insect parasitized by dream vines?

Not all.

Cordyceps shook her head and said, Although I have seized the control of the Dreamland Vine, my soul has also been eroded by the Dreamland Vine and my body has been taken away. So, I am also considered a Dreamland Vine now.

Ahhh...

(Ben Wang suddenly felt a little dizzy...)

After listening to Cordyceps' explanation, Beta only felt that his brain was about to die, while Shu Ke was frantically calculating the possibility of this situation.

As for the Alphas, they were even more confused.

However, Bai Qi quickly figured it out.

According to what you said, it was the spirit-eating worm that parasitized the dream vine first, but the soul of the dream vine took over the body of the spirit-eating worm.

To put it simply, you killed yourself, but you resurrected yourself, and you and you are in a very strange symbiotic state.

Cordyceps nodded and said, That's almost what it means.

Bai Qi looked at Shu Ke and said, Shu Ke, is the probability of this happening high?

Shu Ke shook his head and said: The spirit-eating insects themselves are parasitic, which is not surprising, but dreamland vines rarely erode the souls of other creatures. Their abilities should be activated at the same time. Both body and soul are entangled together.

However, this is only theoretically feasible. Normally, one party will successfully plunder the existence of the other party. It is impossible for fusion to occur.

Shu Ke was full of doubts, and kept looking at Cordyceps with curious eyes.

Boo boo boo.

(Could it be that after the spirit-eating worm devoured the control center of the dream vine, it was regarded as a new control center, so the souls of both sides did not reject this body, and instinctively chose to fuse? Well, it’s like a plant Grafting?)

I don't think so. Grafting is just the fusion of plant limbs, and has nothing to do with the soul. It should be for some other reason.

Boo boo boo.

(But the body and the soul are not inseparable. Except for undead creatures, the soul should exist in every part of the body, not to mention the core position of the brain.)

but……

Under the dazed eyes of Bai Qi and others, Shu Ke and Delta started a heated debate, and Bai Qi, the owner of the two pet beasts, wanted to step forward to persuade them to fight, but suddenly found that he couldn't intervene.

There is no way, the professionalism is too strong, even if you want to talk nonsense.

Huh?

(Ben Wang wants to ask, does Dreamland Vine have a brain?)

Shut up!

Boo boo boo!

(Shut up!)

Shuke and Delta turned their heads to look at Beta at the same time, and Beta, who knew he asked a stupid question, quickly turned his head and pretended nothing happened.

But because of this, Shu Ke and Delta also stopped arguing, but began to study Cordyceps patiently.

The body and soul of the two creatures can be completely fused, and the original consciousness will definitely not be retained, otherwise it will be easy to split.

(Yes, that is to say, this consciousness is actually born later, and the memory that can possess both should be obtained from the remaining memory.)

But it is impossible to rely on them alone if they want to successfully merge. I can't detect any traces of two living bodies at all. There must be some help from foreign objects.

(Delta thinks so too.)

The two pets exchanged opinions in an instant, and looked at the big tree in front of them in unison, Bai Qi was also thoughtful.

Although this ancient tree has been dead for a long time at first glance, Bai Qi can still feel a little vitality and a different atmosphere. Obviously, this is not just a simple plant.

After all, in this world, no matter it is an animal or plant, or even a stone on the roadside, or a long sword in the hands of the ancients, after time, it can give birth to a spirit and become a pet beast. Moreover, according to what Cordyceps said just now, this story also has a dream, That is obviously a spirit that has already been born.

Gala Gala.

(Boss, judging from the remaining breath, this ancient tree may have been a sixth-order king-level creature, or even higher.)

Sixth-order king-level? It may be even higher!

Bai Qi was taken aback when he heard the words, and Shu Ke also suddenly said: After testing, there is an 81% probability that this ancient tree is an ancient knowledge tree, 18% is an ancient war tree, and 1% is an ordinary ancient tree.

The ancient tree of knowledge, one of the three ancient trees as famous as the tree of life?

Bai Qi looked at the almost withered ancient tree in front of him in surprise, apparently unable to connect it with the three ancient trees.

Listening to the conversation between one man and four beasts, Cordyceps weakly raised her hand and said, Well, in my memory, it seems that the identity of this tree is indeed mentioned, and it should be the ancient tree of knowledge.

It's really an ancient tree of knowledge, what a pity.

After getting the confirmation from Cordyceps, Bai Qi no longer doubted it, and a pang of regret suddenly rose in his heart.

The ancient tree of knowledge, this is a creature that claims to know everything in the world. It would be awesome if it could be subdued. Even if it could not be subdued, taking out the core of the ancient tree before it completely died would be at least a legendary resource.

Um?

Ancient tree core?

Bai Qi rushed to the ancient tree of knowledge, and through the holes in the trunk, he quickly found a huge hole, and he could vaguely feel a strong vitality.

Where is the core of this ancient tree of knowledge? Where did it go?

Bai Qi turned around, picked up the Cordyceps and questioned loudly.

The core of the ancient tree? Are you talking about that delicious berry? I was too hungry when I was sleeping, so I ate it.

have eaten!

Bai Qi glared angrily, and shook the Cordyceps vigorously up and down for a while, as if he wanted to throw out the core, and Shu Ke directly set up a full set of surgical tools, obviously planning to dissect it directly.

Fortunately, Bai Qi was not so frenzied, and after struggling for a while, he still chose to give up.

According to the results discussed by Shu Ke and Delta, Cordyceps can fuse two bodies and souls, and give birth to a brand new consciousness, which requires the assistance of external objects.

Obviously, it is definitely the core of this ancient tree of life.

Click click click click.

(Master, why not let Gamma stew him, he should be able to absorb a little bit of core energy.)

Gamma, who has always been taciturn, finally spoke, but what he said made Cordyceps almost faint from fright.

He slept well at home, how could he provoke such a group of demons?

Otherwise, look for a chance to run?

Thinking of this, Cordyceps once again glanced at Bai Qi and his four pets who were discussing whether to boil him, and then quietly backed away.

But before retreating for a long time, Cordyceps felt a chill on his back, and a black long sword was hanging on his back at some point, but Alpha, the owner of the long sword, was still guarding Bai Qi's side.

It's over, there's no escape.

Cordyceps suddenly felt that there was nothing to love, and completely gave up the plan of escaping, and simply lay down in front of Bai Qi and the others in a very bachelor, with an appearance of being slaughtered.

Seeing this scene, Bai Qi couldn't help laughing, grabbed the caterpillar fungus, and rode on Delta's back.

Anyway, the task is completed, go back and hand in the task first, and then study this guy carefully.

Spirit-eating insects and dream vines, plus at least a sixth-order core of the ancient tree of knowledge, the probability of these three things getting together is not high, and the probability of merging them together is even lower.

It is not Bai Qi's usual style to leave such a rare creature in the wild like this.
