Chapter 55: Don’t calculate like this

"This, is it over?"

Looking at the empty battlefield, the two people hiding in the cracks of the hill looked at each other in bewilderment. Google search reading

Just a few minutes ago, the two people's final prediction of the war was that the monsters would win the battle against the ghosts at the cost of losing 90% of their troops.

The best result for the ghosts would probably be that the grasshoppers would die together with the monster army by the final self-explosion.

But no one expected that the ghosts would turn the tables with only twelve steel-blade mantises and dozens of patrol bees.

Well, it can't be said to be a comeback.

After all, the army composed of machine gun crabs, machine gun caterpillars, and grasshopper cannons was indeed completely wiped out.

Those grasshopper cannons that had not yet been chopped up by the sea of ​​skeletons also died under the slashing of the mantises.

The ghosts really had no concept of "friendly fire", as expected of a biochemical beast based on insects.

It was similar to the nature of the various insect races.

After killing the front row of skeletons, the mantises flew back to the back row of monsters, harvested the sporadic quasi-nightmare monsters controlled by patrol bees, and then flew back in the direction they came from.

After confirming that there were no more surviving monsters on the field, the patrol bees immediately split into two teams.

One team cleaned the battlefield, and the other team flew to the direction of the fungal blanket that Luger and the others had left before.

After watching for a while, Tia couldn't help but exclaimed again.

"Huh? Brother Lu, did you see that? They seem to be recovering the weapons of the Lost Ones from the corpses of the Ghost!"

"Yeah." Ruger nodded immediately after hearing this, "It seems that they can't produce weapons of the Lost Ones, or the output is very limited."

"That's good news."

Because this shows that the Ghosts' heavy firepower will definitely not be too much.

Although it will probably not be too little.

If it was too little, the Ghosts would never install the self-destruct function on the Grasshopper Cannon.

Although their self-destruction will explode the grenade in the abdomen, the gun barrel carried on the body will definitely be damaged.

If the heavy firepower is less than a certain level, they will never design it this way, even if only some old guns from World War II are destroyed.

The most reasonable explanation is that the Ghosts' heavy firepower is limited, especially modern firepower.

But the number of old weapons from World War II will not be too small, so they can afford the loss.

Just look at the patrol bees cleaning the battlefield, they are obviously more careful when recovering the light machine guns on the machine gun crabs.

When they recovered the Lao Gan Ma machine guns and the old cannons from World War II, they were much rougher.

These old antiques were thick, strong and durable.

The accuracy might have been okay back then, but it was not so good after becoming antiques.

Even if they were fine, they were useless.

On the contrary, the new light weapons from the Cold War on the machine gun crabs could still have good accuracy if they were well maintained.

Just as the two were pointing at the two sets of standards of the patrol bees, the patrol bees that had flown away before flew back.

They were holding pieces of purple-red meat-like things on their legs.

It was exactly, fungal blankets!

"Fungal blankets? What the hell?"

Ruger was wondering when he saw the patrol bees flying over the monster corpses and throwing down pieces of fungal blankets.

After the fungal blankets fell on the monster corpses, they were like Tia being thrown on a large piece of barbecue, and they immediately feasted on it.

It was said to be feasting, but in fact, it was differentiating countless hyphae and growing into the flesh and blood along the wounds of the corpses.

While the hyphae were absorbing the flesh and blood of the monsters, more purple-red flesh pieces grew along the edge of the fungal blanket.

Before long, the fungal blanket that was only the size of a palm really grew into a carpet.

What's more terrifying is that these fungal blankets are not only able to absorb the flesh and blood of the fallen demon corpses.

They also eat the rotten and poisonous corpses of the dark green zombies.

They even did not let go of the skeletons.

Even the ghostly corpses were quickly sucked up by them.

"This, this..."

Looking at the magical and weird scene in front of him, Ruger was deeply shocked and could not recover for a long time.

He finally knew how the fungal blanket grew.

That's not right. Isn't it said that fungal blankets actually grow by absorbing solar energy for photosynthesis?

Moreover, looking at the location of the previous fungal blanket, it happened to be the intersection center of the halo of several nearby pillars. It shouldn't be just a coincidence, right?

Besides, do the "fresh seeds" in Rogue Town also grow on the corpses of monsters?

What is this?

It's okay for the Nephalems, but do ordinary humans also survive by eating the corpses of monsters?

Seeing him turn around and want to talk, but he was stunned for some reason, Tia couldn't help but blink her big eyes:

"Brother Lu, what do you want to ask?"

After hearing this, Ruger hesitated for a few times, but still asked the question.

"Oh, you ask how we grow food seeds? Well, it's almost the same as them."

Tia pointed to the patrol bee that was rolling up the grown fungus blanket bit by bit.

It's really true?

While Ruger was surprised, an uncontrollable feeling of nausea kept rising.

"What, Brother Lu, how can you jump to the food chain?"

Tia, who probably guessed what Ruger was thinking, pouted with both anger and amusement.

"Hey, how can eating fungus blanket be considered eating monsters?"

"When we were able to grow crops, we also fertilized them so that they could grow well."

"According to your idea, are we eating fertilizer?"

In Luger's era, chemical fertilizers, that is, inorganic fertilizers, were used. In the Middle Ages of Xiao Tiya and her friends, only organic fertilizers, that is, natural fertilizers, were used.

That is, the kind of fertilizers used by humans and animals.

After hearing what Tiya said, Luger's nausea not only did not subside, but it showed signs of becoming more serious.

Imagine following Xiao Tiya's words and converting the steamed buns on the table into fertilizers and then stuffing them into your mouth...

Eww~~~

Let him vomit for a while first.

No matter what he said, he controlled himself to recover from those evil thoughts and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Tiya's words made him think too disgustingly at first, he calmed down and thought about it again, and it did make sense.

The food chain is something that can't be calculated casually.

But putting aside those trivial things, it seems that the food chain of "monster corpse-mushroom-human" still has some problems.

Could it be that the fungal blanket can decompose the magic energy in the monster corpse and grow bigger?

Or can they eliminate the toxins in the monster corpse, turning the poisonous monsters that cannot be used by humans into food?

"Let's talk about the latter first. The answer is no." After hearing Ruger's new question, Tia immediately explained.

"Moreover, the fungal blanket not only cannot decompose the toxins in the monster corpse, but will also be stimulated by it and quickly enter the toxic maturity stage."

"So, when we fertilize the fungal blanket, we also try to remove the toxins from the monster corpse in advance."

Tia paused and continued, "As for the first question, we just feed the monster as fertilizer."

"Generally speaking, we only fertilize once when we plant fresh seeds."

"This allows the seeds to take root and sprout quickly."
