Chapter 1021: Ecological disaster

"'Eye of Air Spores' is different from our mushrooms. Their spores must be parasitic on the corpses of animals to absorb the flesh and blood of the host to develop into larvae, and then take root in the soil, absorb nutrients, and develop into mature "Eye of Air Spores '.'
"In just a few years, the hamsters and bats in the canyon were slaughtered by the "Eye of the Air Spore", and became the nutrients for the reproduction of these evil spirits. The animals that had escaped the "Eye of the Air Spore" were also killed. Moving to a place far away from the "Eye of the Air Spore", the canyon becomes increasingly deserted and dead, like a cemetery."
After listening to the description of the king of bacteria, Joan was deeply touched.
The changes in the canyon can be described as a vivid example, showing the huge damage caused by invasive species to the ecological environment, causing the local biological chain to collapse.
In the end, even the "airspore eye", the culprit that caused this ecological disaster, was inevitably subjected to the natural laws. Now it is no longer possible to find enough animals in the canyon as a spore host, and has to migrate to the periphery of the canyon to reproduce the heirs. Find new habitat.
The parasitic propagation method of "Eye of the Air Spore" continuously squeezes the living spaces of other animals and plants, including mushrooms. Wherever their footsteps expand, ecological disasters spread.
This is not entirely because the "Eye of the Air Spore" is evil in nature and selfish. In fact, their intelligence level is not as good as the "Phantom Mushroom", and they may not have the consciousness of the main action evil, but just follow the survival instinct to proliferate.
The root cause of the disaster is not how bad the "Eye of the Air Spore" is, but that they are too powerful relative to other local creatures.
Higher predators such as tigers and lions are either solitary creatures or have low fertility, but the "Eye of the Air Spore" has no such innate constraints, and has strong strength and strong fertility. There are no natural enemies in the local area. Restricting the momentum of their crazy expansion, the result is a vicious circle of "the stronger is stronger" and "the weaker is weaker", causing the entire ecological chain to collapse.
If you want to prevent the ecological disaster from intensifying, a feasible strategy is to introduce natural enemies that can restrain the "Eye of the Air Spore" and re-form the local biological chain into a closed loop.
Joan and their explorers from the surface world are now shouldering the mission of playing the natural enemy of the "Eye of the Air Spore"-at least the King of Bacteria and their people have such expectations for them.
When thinking, the spore monitor lizard had entered the hinterland of the canyon and stopped slowly.
Joan and others stood up from the back of the monitor lizard one after another, looking out into the distance with the help of miner's lamp lighting.
The terrain around is relatively flat, with a large piece of mushroom more than two feet tall, the straight mycelium bears a huge spherical cap, and there are thick and short hyphae like petals around it. Dwarf sunflower in the surface world.
Joan slipped from the back of the lizard and walked in to observe the "sunflowers" swaying in the wind, and found that the organ resembling a sunflower disk was actually an eyeball-shaped fruiting body.
Although he has long known that the image of "air spore eye" imitating "eye demon" is a very common mimic phenomenon in nature, it is not a real eyeball, but he has witnessed this supernatural fungus larvae with his own eyes and saw "eyeball" "Shang Weiliang, with his fake pupils and iris, still couldn't help a scalp tingling.
"Little Master, don't touch them, watch out for explosions!" King Zheng warned.
Joan hurriedly returned to the safety zone and performed 2 rings of "endoscopy" to check the details of the "Eye of the Air Spore".
Among the six attributes of the larvae of "Air Spore", the physique is only 2 points, and the intelligence is less than 1, which is lower than the larvae of "Mushroom" or "Phantom Mushroom".
Only 2 physical properties indicate that this fungus is very fragile. The fruit body is like a balloon that has inflated to its limit. It will explode when it is hit by external forces, and it emits highly toxic spores, which is in full compliance with the warning issued by the king of bacteria.
What really surprised Joan was that the larvae of the "Eye of the Air Spore" had low intellectual properties, which was only equivalent to the level of insects.
This level of intelligence does not have a complex self-consciousness at all. Generally speaking, it does not have the motivation to do good or evil, and it is not called good or evil.
Animals and plants in nature are probably like this, but for supernatural beings, this is a bit different.
Joan had to worry that if the mature bodies of the "Eye of the Air Spores" were of this level of intelligence, they would probably not have a tendency to good and evil. The positive energy directed by the "Branch of Ilminsur" was Neutral creatures have no effect.
In order to verify his concerns, Joan took out the "Branch of Ilminsur" and planned to release positive energy to irradiate the larvae of the "Eye Spore" to see if they could be killed.
"Little Master, don't be busy with it first."
Bacteria King's face once again showed an old sly smile.
"If you use that branch to deal with the larvae of the "Eye of the Air Spore", all of them can be wiped out in an instant. The "Eye of the Air Spore" in the air sees this scene, knowing that there is no hope to rescue the child heirs, and can only run away. If the maps are self-protected, we will not be able to wipe them out."
Joan nodded without dissent.
The king of bacteria turned around and waved his men's guard forward, ordering them to use slings to deal with the explosive "airspore eye" larvae.
Twenty mushroom guards simultaneously lifted slings of stone, threw out a pebble as big as a fist, and accurately hit the "eyeball" of the larvae of the "Eye of the Air Spore".
The screaming stones were broken enough to break these fragile fungi, and at the moment when the "eyeball" was damaged, the high-pressure gas filled in the larvae of the "Eye of the Spore" violently erupted as if one by one. The punctured balloons burst into bursts one after another, splashing out a large number of spores.
These spores with barbed flagella, once attached to the surface of the animal, will automatically penetrate into the blood vessels, release toxins, cause the host body to die, and absorb the nutrients of the cadaver to develop into a new "Eye of the Air Spore" larval plant .
Joan raised his hand to release the "wind-making technique", and Audrey and Holden also showed the talent "controlling the airflow", and jointly created an atmospheric curtain to blow away the spores that were floating on the face.
Those adult "eyes of air spores" watching in the air, seeing that their heirs were being slaughtered, as expected by the king of bacteria, could not hold back their anger, waving ten mycelium tentacles resembling eye stems, and they all fell down. Trying to stop the Mushroom Guard from committing an attack.
Joan took a deep breath and suddenly held up the "Branch of Ilminsur" to inspire a positive energy.
The silver radiance radiated out and enveloped several low-flying "spore eyes", but failed to cause any harm to them.
