- #167 - Chapter 167 The Birth of Fungi Species
Ian clearly felt that the apocalypse had changed. He felt it from the water, touched it from the land, and smelled it from the air… This place was no longer the apocalypse he had left before he traveled through the last time.
Looking at the setting sun in the west, the end of this plain is also the place where he once collected fungi materials.
In the endless weird forest, twisted fruits fell one after another, and then crawled out of them, crooked and deformed creatures with skin as dark and sticky as rotten fruits, thick limbs and sharp teeth.
Although he looked short, only about 1.5 meters tall, the indifference and destruction hidden in his eyes made people shudder.
Ian rode on the broomstick and more intuitively felt the will conveyed by these monsters.
After feeling the changes in the world, he chose to come here for an on-the-spot investigation. It is thought that this level of change can only be brought about by the collective consciousness of fungi.
As expected, upon taking a look, I discovered this twisted monster.
“Avada…”
Without any hesitation, Ian raised his hand and fired a life-killing curse. The miserable green curse accurately hit the monster underground.
After all, this is not a rare breed. There should not be too many pawn-like existences born first. Slowly descending from mid-air, a disgusting rancid smell hit his face when he got closer. Even though he was dead, the cruelty and destruction in his eyes were still clearly visible.
What surprised him was the reaction of the magic stone. After hunting countless parasites before, the magic stone was in a saturated state. In layman’s terms, it was full and could no longer be fed.
But this time, as soon as it landed, the magic stone began to absorb life force again. This discovery made him extremely happy.
When he was studying alchemy before, he discovered that the magic stone was not perfect, or was a semi-finished product. It could only extend life but was difficult to resist aging. Nico was the best example.
Now that the magic stone has begun to absorb vitality again, this allows him to see another possibility, the possibility of quantitative change leading to qualitative change. Although it is not clear whether the magic stone can be perfected, such continuous absorption is always a good thing, and no one will dislike themselves for living longer.
Wrap the body with a bubble head charm to isolate the pungent stench, and then apparate back to the stone house.
After finding out the situation, Ian is ready to start an anatomy plan to understand its structure and combat effectiveness more intuitively.
…
The next morning, Norma and her two little ones arrived at the stone house on time. Perhaps we shouldn’t say young anymore. The three beetles of the past no longer exist, replaced by a slim girl and a simple and honest boy.
Especially Norma, as the first born, she was destined to be extraordinary from the moment she was born. Although her personality was still carefree, Ian knew how much physical strength her slender figure contained.
“Have wild beasts appeared here too?” Norma’s first question after entering the door was to ask Ian about the situation. “I’ve seen the corpses outside. They’ve been appearing more frequently recently.”
“Is the monster at the door the beast you mentioned before?” Ian looked at Norma in surprise. She had heard her say before that newborns in the tribe would not come to him to learn potions because of the presence of wild beasts.
Norma shrugged and said indifferently: “Yes, this is the thing, very annoying. It seems that you have also appeared here. Do you need me to stay to protect you at night?”
As she spoke, she raised her white palms, clenched them into fists and waved them in the air, as if to prove her strength.
Seeing the punching speed that almost produced an afterimage and the slight sound of breaking through the air, Ian couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his eyes. “No, I just went to the forest to catch this. Besides, I probably have the ability to protect myself, but thank you anyway.”
Then he asked curiously: “By the way, Norma, how many people are there now? I mean including all the babies born.”
“I didn’t count carefully!” Norma scratched her head in embarrassment. “About 600 people… maybe, that’s all.”
“That’s 672 people, including the two babies born this morning.” Ina, who had been quiet all this time, added.
Ian nodded upon hearing this, he was quite relieved about this number.
“There are no new potions to learn recently.” After seeing the disappointed expressions of the three of them, he changed the subject and said, “However, this time we have to learn other knowledge.”
As he spoke, Ian took out a two-inch-thick tome “History of Metallurgy” from the bookshelf. It was written by the famous British metallurgical professor Terry Cote and published in 1976. It is a very authoritative book. Academic Works.
…
“…You have already learned how to make a blast furnace. Let’s talk about the coke method. If you want to smelt high-purity steel, this method is indispensable…”
Ian stood in the stone room and talked, while the three students below were also concentrating on taking notes.
Now he already likes this feeling of teaching students, and he found that as long as the class is in class, the three of them can always maintain a highly focused state, as if learning is their mission.
It is indeed a pleasure to teach these obedient and well-behaved students.
“Okay, let’s rest for half an hour and then have lunch. In the afternoon we will learn the quenching method to increase the toughness and hardness of metal.” Ian said with some unfinished content.
“One more thing. When you go back today, if you find any metal materials along the way, collect some and bring them back. Set up a blast furnace to smelt them yourself. No matter the shape. Bring them to me in three days to see the finished product. This is your homework.”
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand to indicate that get out of class was over.
After watching Norma and Ryan leave, he said to Ina who was quiet beside him: “Why don’t you go out for a walk? Aren’t you bored sitting here?”
Among the three, Ian has the deepest affection for Norma. After all, she is the first new life he has come into contact with, but the one he prefers the most is Ina. This beautiful and intelligent girl is usually quiet, and occasionally has little thoughts and thoughts. Naughty, fulfilling all his fantasies about his daughter, a typical little cotton-padded jacket-like existence.
As for the boy Ryan… I’m sorry, after all, one person’s energy is limited and cannot be divided into three parts.
After hearing the question, Ina shook her head and said coquettishly: “I’m not bored, and you’re here too, right?”
These words sounded very warm. Ian smiled and gently stroked the other person’s hair with his hand. “When you go back, let the new baby grow up as soon as possible. If you need it, you can come directly to me.”
After a pause, he continued: “The place where you live needs to be changed. It is too easy to be attacked by wild beasts on the plains.”
Ina also nodded lightly. “I know. After I go back, I will arrange for people to go out and find a new suitable place to live.”
After hearing this answer, Ian nodded with satisfaction. He knew a long time ago that the leadership of the tribe has basically completed a round of handover transition. The whole group is divided into three groups, led by Norma, Ina and Ryan each have their own groups.
Although the three of them are still together now, he knows that it is only a matter of time before they break up. This division is not a division caused by selfish desires, but a manifestation of the will of the local world. He must ensure that each region has corresponding strength.
