Chapter 950 The Thing that Must Be Killed, the Meteor Demon

Feeling that there was something wrong with the soil in his hands, Chen Fang dug a few more times, and the soil was five or six centimeters down. The soil he took out was sticky like slime crystal mud.

Chen Fang felt something was wrong when he held the slime-like soil in his hand, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

At this moment, a soldier who was collecting the meat of the giant beast let out a scream, which attracted everyone's attention.

"What's wrong?" Wu Mei, who was directing soldiers to collect giant beasts, asked.

Chen Fang also walked over.

"My...my lord, look over there."

The soldier pointed at one place tremblingly, while Mei Mei and Chen Fang looked along.

I saw the soldier pointing to the place where a strange creature appeared from nowhere, eating the zombies on the ground.

This creature looks extremely strange, with these two heads, one with eyes but no mouth, the other with a mouth but no eyes, the neck is slender, the whole head is hung on it like a lantern, the whole body is like a slug, covered with a layer Slime, with a pair of sickle legs but no feet, looks disgusting.

The soldier's barking just now also alarmed it. At this time, it was holding the zombie's head in its mouth, looking at Chen Fang's side with evil eyes, and at the same time, it let out a low-pitched bark like a dog guarding its food.

"What is this?"

Chen Fang looked at Mei Mei doubtfully and asked, even though he was an adventurer before, but because he traveled few places and saw not many creatures in this world, so he didn't know what kind of creature it was, so he had to ask others.

You are asking the right person, Yu Mei really knows, but her complexion is not very good.

"This is the Meteor Demon, a monster that appears with meteorites falling from the sky, a thing that everyone will kill when they see it."

"This is the Meteor Demon."

Chen Fang was taken aback, it was his first time seeing Meteor Demon, but it didn't prevent him from knowing what it was.

To be precise, Meteor Demons are not creatures brought down from the sky by meteorites, but creatures that mutate after being irradiated by meteorites. Because the affected creatures have different shapes, the appearance of Meteor Demons is also changeable. The only thing in common is the mutated body Becomes a slug that secretes a gelatinous mucus.

As soon as this mutated creature appeared, it was labeled disgusting, crypt, violent soldier, and land disaster, and it was ranked first on the must-kill list of all races in the entire continent.

Because it was a mutation brought about by extraterrestrial meteorites, people don't know much about it.

That is to say, the Meteor Demon can only live near the meteorite and cannot leave it for life. It also likes to build nests under the ground. It does not eat living things, but only eats carrion. Zombies are its favorite food. It reproduces by splitting, and its fecundity is extremely high. .

In the case of sufficient food, a Meteor Demon can split into more than a thousand individuals in a month.

The Meteor Demon is not strong, and its combat power is equivalent to that of Goblins. It can be killed with the cooperation of elementary awakened people or a few well-trained ordinary people.

It seems terrible that meteorites reproduce by splitting. As long as there is enough food, they can split indefinitely and reach a massive number. There are not many descending demons, and the threat from itself is not great.

The main reason why the Meteor Demon became the public enemy of the whole people is that the colloidal mucus secreted by the Meteor Demon when it casts its lair will pollute the land where it is located.

The land is infiltrated by the colloidal liquid they secrete, and it becomes a barren land where ordinary plants cannot grow, which is actually nothing.

However, there is an originally harmless fungus growing underground on the Xia subcontinent. After contact with this mucus, it will mutate and become extremely aggressive and toxic.

The mutated fungal hyphae will break out of the ground, forming a gray-white creep on the ground, a palm-sized creep, and it will expand rapidly as long as it rains or the nutrients provided by animal corpses.

For example, it is only a drizzle, and it is not difficult for the creep to cover a radius of ten kilometers overnight. At the same time, the creep will release a toxic spore mist.

When this toxic spore falls on the plant, it will quickly grow parasiticly, causing the plant to quickly wither, and if it is inhaled by the animal, it will cause cardiopulmonary paralysis, hypoxia, coma until death, and then decay into the nutrients of the creep.

Therefore, the place covered by the creep, whether it is a plant or an animal, including the Meteor, no creature can survive on the creep.

Moreover, this kind of creep is invulnerable to water and fire, and it is very difficult to eliminate. Unless it has not yet formed a large scale, it must be dealt with. Otherwise, if it forms a certain scale, it will cost a lot to deal with it.

The one-time death of more than one million people in the history of the Federation is related to the creep.

That time, it was a meteorite with a meteorite, so it hit a corrupted land full of zombies, and when the meteorite fell, there was a group of adventurers hunting zombies in the corrupted land where the level of zombies was not high. , the adventurer accidentally saw this meteorite and took it with him. After day and night radiation, the adventurer mutated into a meteorite that still retained human consciousness.

Because the mutated adventurer dared not meet people, he secretly left his partner and hunted zombies for food in the corrupted land. After a period of time, he began to split, resulting in a large number of meteors.

If the number is too large, the zombies in the Corrupted Land are not enough to eat. The hungry adventurer Meteor, because of his consciousness, came up with a way to leave the bottom lair of the Corrupted Land with meteorites and split individuals, and drive a group of zombies away. I went to a small town with a population of several thousand people more than ten kilometers away.

After capturing the town, use zombies to infect ordinary people, let them become zombies and then use them to fill their stomachs. When all the people in a small town are infected as zombies, this meteor with human consciousness will drive zombies to infect the next A small town just like this snowballed and grew bigger and bigger, and was finally noticed by the Federation because it harmed a small city with a population of tens of thousands, and was finally attacked and killed.

After the death of the adventurer Meteor and his split body, the meteorite on his body was also discovered. It was taken for research at that time, and it was destroyed after knowing its radiation hazards.

But the matter is not over, because the adventurer Meteor left a lot of underground lairs during his migration, and it just so happens that the underground lairs in the place he scourges in the end have the kind of fungus that can mutate in the gelatinous mucus. .

So the fungus mutated, and the mycelium broke through the ground to form a creep on the ground. In addition, the climate in that place happened to be humid, and there was heavy rain from time to time, so the creep spread rapidly, and the plants and animals died in the places they passed. And the expanded creep just extended to a city not far from the gate.

When people went out of the city and saw that the scenery outside the city had changed overnight, they went over to check it out curiously. As a result, the creep was like a place of death. Anyone who stepped on it would faint and die for a moment, which caused shock and excitement. panic.

After the incident was reported to the federation, people were sent down to deal with it. Naturally, there was no result, and a lot of casualties were added. Moreover, because the residents of the city close to the creeper were not evacuated in time, after it rained one day, The creep spread again, and as a result, hundreds of thousands of people in the entire city died overnight.

In the end, the Federation had no choice but to send out the most powerful lineup of awakeners, consume ten rather precious relic cores, launch a devastating attack, and destroy the area covered by the creep, in order to be considered a solution.

Later, in order to find out the cause of the creep, the Federation sent a large number of people, spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and did not let go of any clues. It took three years of investigation to find out from other places where meteorites existed, as well as some small-scale incidents that occurred later. During the creep event, I really understood the relationship between the meteor and the creep, so the meteor as the source has become a must-kill thing for all races in the whole continent.
