Chapter 111: Seeds of Giant Effervescent Mushroom
Tombstone Devourer Kaso reached out and grasped a tombstone. The tombstone decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the entire tombstone finally turned into a handful of yellow sand.
"Because I devoured too many tombstones, the unstable factors contained in the tombstones accumulated in my body. As time passed, these unstable factors began to spread outward in another form. The result was that the environment around me gradually became a desert with me as the center. "
Casso's tone was calm, as if what he was talking about had nothing to do with him;
After hearing what Ka Suo said, Xiao Kui subconsciously took several steps back and stayed away from Ka Suo.
"Don't worry, this state will only affect the surrounding environment or act on some dead objects, and will not affect living creatures;" Cass waved his hand and explained;
"So you are restricted here and cannot come and go as you please?" The Pea Shooter looked down at the half of the tombstone in Casso's hand;
"Fortunately, my current state won't affect living creatures, otherwise you wouldn't have seen me today, and I might have been cleared out of Night City long ago," Cass said self-deprecatingly.
The surrounding plant units suddenly fell into a dead silence, and the little mushroom looked at Cass with a complicated expression;
"Meow"
The tabby cat jumped into Cass's arms in a few steps, and gently rubbed its head against Cass's wrinkled forehead;
Cass stroked the tabby cat's colorful fur with a doting look on his face;
"Sorry to bother you, we'll take our leave now." Fengqi, the Pea Shooter, bowed slightly to Casso, turned around and prepared to leave.
It is completely wishful thinking to ask Ka Suo to come out now;
The surrounding plant units turned around in boredom and prepared to leave. It seemed that this trip would be in vain.
"Let's go," Xiao Kui turned around and shouted to Little Mushroom Robert;
Little Puff Mushroom Rob stood there in a daze, not moving;
"I want to know the news about the Big Puff Mushroom," the Little Puff Mushroom said word by word.
Cass stopped petting the cat and looked up at the little mushroom in surprise;
"What's the point of knowing that? The final outcome for those who carry firewood for others is just freezing to death. It's better to just die outside in obscurity." Casso lowered his head and said indifferently.
"This is very important to me, please tell me," Rob begged.
"Why?" Casso sat upright.
"Because I want to protect everyone, I want to protect Night City," Rob said firmly, clenching his fists;
Casso let out a long sigh, and his expression seemed to have aged several years suddenly;
"I originally wanted to keep this matter to myself and not tell anyone. I'm really old.
Casso reached into his arms and fumbled for a long time, and finally pulled out a yellow seed from a worn pocket;
"This is;"
Rob's eyes widened in surprise. Rob sensed a familiar scent from the seed.
"Half a year ago, the giant mushroom suddenly came to me." Casso organized his words and spoke slowly.
"Half a year ago, wasn't that when Big Effervescent Mushroom and the City Lord of Enchantment Mushroom disappeared together?" Little Effervescent Mushroom Robert said in disbelief.
"I didn't see any charm mushrooms. The giant puff mushroom came to me alone, and;"
In the middle of his words, Casso suddenly stopped talking, with a hint of hesitation on his face;
"And then, did Big Mushroom tell me where he went?" Robert asked anxiously.
"He's dead," Casso said with a complicated expression;
"What?" Robert looked at Cass in disbelief.
"When the giant mushroom came to find me, it was already badly wounded. It only had time to give me this seed before it could no longer hold on;"
After hearing what Casso said, all the plant units around him turned their eyes to the seed lying in Casso's palm;
Little Mushroom Rob suddenly knelt on the ground, looking depressed;
Although he had expected this result a long time ago, when he finally got the news from Casso, Robert still couldn't accept it for a while.
"Did the giant mushroom leave any last words before it died?" The pea shooter Fengqi turned his eyes away from the seeds in Casso's hand;
"He said to be careful of the enchanted mushrooms," Castle replied with a puzzled look on his face;
The various plant units looked at each other;
Whether it was a rift between brothers or some other hidden story, Feng Qi felt that things were becoming more and more complicated. The entire Night City was confusing and far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface.
"What's the use of the seed left by the giant mushroom?" Fengqi grasped a very crucial point;
The thing that Big Mushroom entrusted to Casso at the risk of his life was definitely not just for the sake of leaving a souvenir;
"This is the future of Night City," Castle said earnestly.
Feng Qi couldn't help but frown; he obviously didn't quite understand what Cass meant;
"This seed can be used to create another big mushroom." The little mushroom, kneeling on the ground, muttered to himself.
"Do you know the function of this seed?" Cass raised his gray eyebrows;
"I just recognized this seed. Every Big Puff Mushroom evolved from a Small Puff Mushroom. The only way for a Small Puff Mushroom to evolve into a Big Puff Mushroom is to choose to combine with the seeds left behind by the Big Puff Mushroom after its death. "
Rob told everything he knew.
"According to this, there should be a lot of giant mushrooms in Night City. Why is there not a single one now?" Xiao Kui interrupted and asked;
"The mechanism of evolution," murmured Rob;
"Even with the help of the Giant Puff Mushroom Seeds, the chance of a Small Puff Mushroom successfully evolving into a Giant Puff Mushroom is only one percent," Cass added.
"So low." Xiao Kui scratched her fingers, her face full of disbelief;
"This results in a very small number of giant puff mushrooms in each generation. Behind every giant puff mushroom are hundreds of small puff mushrooms that died in the process of evolution." Cass said helplessly.
"So Big Emushi chose to keep this seed, hoping to leave a vague future for Night City." Pea Shooter Fengqi looked at the seed in Casso's hand with a complicated expression;
"I want this seed," said Little Mushroom Rob in a firm tone;
All the surrounding plant units looked at Rob in surprise;
This is no different from seeking death;
"No one will ask you to do this, and no one will care if you do this." Casso shook his head slightly;
"Someone has to choose to stand up, just like what you did back then, it's infinitely glorious." Little Mushroom Robert firmly took the seed from Casso's hand;
Casso burst into tears;
yard;
All the plant units are gathered in front of the dilapidated hut;
Casso stared at the dilapidated wooden door in front of him with a complicated expression;
On the other side of the wooden door, Little Puff Mushroom Rob was preparing to merge with the seeds left behind by the Big Puff Mushroom;
"Will he die?" Xiao Kui tightly grasped the corner of the Pea Shooter's clothes.
"We will all die in the end," said the Pea Shooter Fengqi expressionlessly.
"Meow"
Casso's tabby cat suddenly rushed in from outside the yard;
The tabby cat climbed onto Casso's shoulder in a few steps and called out to him anxiously several times;
"What is it saying?" Xiao Kui asked with a puzzled look;
“Zombies are coming;”
Casso's face was solemn;
