#586 - Chapter 584 Milky White Devil Mushroom

"That scared the crap out of me! I gotta say, this car is really durable."

Regaining his composure, Yan Cheng looked at the white giant bear behind him and reached into his backpack, pulling out a drawing.

It was a large artillery shell.

"I'll teach you to crash into me! Here, have this!"

"Don't!"

Just at that critical moment, Qi Jing shouted:

"Don't blow it up!"

However, it was already too late.

The fiery red bomb, like a burning meteor, slammed hard into the bear's slightly bloated face.

Bang!

Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, a massive shockwave, wrapped in raging flames and billowing smoke, instantly engulfed the white bear.

Flames soared into the sky, smoke filled the air, and Yan Cheng, who was nearby, was once again thrown over several times by the fierce shockwave.

When the smoke cleared slightly, the once majestic white bear had vanished without a trace of ash.

"Don't what?"

Righting his flying motorcycle, Yan Cheng subconsciously reached for his ears, but realizing he was wearing a helmet, he simply patted it lightly to cover his embarrassment.

Qi Jing looked at him speechlessly:

"Nothing, just telling you not to blow it up. Looks like your reaction time still needs some work."

Hearing Qi Jing's words, Yan Cheng stared at the feather duster in his hand and retreated slightly:

"Why not blow it up?"

"Because I sensed that this bear's vitality was a little off."

"Huh?"

"In my perception, each cell of this white bear has become a different life form, working together to maintain its life signs. It's very strange."

In Qi Jing's Observation Haki perception, this white bear's life was composed of countless small cells, whereas normally he would only sense a single, complete life.

What did that mean?

It meant this white bear was unusual, very unusual!

These cellular lives were packed tightly together, almost giving him trypophobia.

Yan Cheng waved his hand dismissively:

"What ghost stuff? Doesn't matter, finding the Devil's Mushrooms is more important."

"Look at your head first."

"Huh?"

Yan Cheng slowly raised his head. At first, he only saw a few crisscrossing, chaotic, withered white branches spanning between the trees.

However, when he took a closer look, he couldn't help but gasp.

These weren't branches! It was a pure white giant spider, so enormous it was mind-boggling!

This spider had a full thirty-two eyes, shimmering with an eerie light. They were distributed on both sides of its head, like thirty-two white gems radiating a cold light, sending chills down one's spine.

Its sixteen legs were each over twenty meters long, thick and covered with hard fluff and sharp thorns. In contrast, its body appeared relatively narrow, only about two meters wide.

This disproportionate ratio made the spider look extremely strange and terrifying.

At this moment, it was steadily stretched between several towering trees, as if using its entire body as its web, waiting for prey to come to its door.

"Old Qi, what is that thing? I hate spiders the most in my life, it's so damn scary, let's get out of here!"

Yan Cheng didn't even care about the feather duster in Qi Jing's hand anymore, and ran directly behind Qi Jing, using him as a shield.

At this time, nowhere was safer than by Qi Jing's side.

"I'm most afraid of things with many legs and things with no legs. Let's go quickly."

Qi Jing observed the spider above:

"This is a common tree-web spider in the Giant Beast Mountains. Haven't you noticed that it's a little strange?"

"What's strange?"

"Its vitality is also composed of countless small cells, and these tree-web spiders are usually brown, like tree branches, to confuse prey.

But it's white. Coupled with that white bear, I can conclude that something strange happened to it and the bear."

He thought something was up.

Yan Cheng poked Qi Jing's back:

"What could be more important than my little heart? Let's go quickly, I'm going to be scared to death if we don't leave."

"I guess this is caused by the ability of the milky white Devil's Mushrooms. This new type of Devil's Mushroom can decompose the lives of animals and disguise them!"

When two unusual things happen together, there must be some connection between them.

The milky white Devil's Mushrooms were seen for the first time, and this albinism was also seen for the first time, so there was a 90% probability that they were related events!

"Let's go, okay?"

"Let's go, let's go. Look how scared you are, go back and practice your courage."

In this way, Yan Cheng had one more training task.

But he didn't care anymore, he just wanted to get away from this big spider.

"Accelerate!"

After flying forward for a while.

"Captain, they're awake."

Zhu Qing'an "drove" the ten-meter-wide White Dog Cloud down from above.

Behind her, in addition to Song Jiang and Yin Ci, there were also Bu Luofen and his butler, both staring blankly at the sky.

Qi Jing asked:

"What's wrong with them?"

These two weren't like this before, right?

One was loyal, the other was full of nonsense, how could they be drooling here like idiots?

Zhu Qing'an explained:

"Their brains have some residual source power material left by the Devil's Mushrooms, which is eroding their cells like a virus. Fortunately, I temporarily froze their brains, so they look so silly... blank."

"Like that spider?"

Qi Jing took out a small section of the tree-web spider's leg that he had just cut off and showed it to Zhu Qing'an.

His Observation Haki couldn't see what was inside the cells.

Zhu Qing'an nodded:

"That's right, they should be in this state after their brain cells have been completely eroded."

"Uh, good lord, they want to 'be human'!"

Qi Jing figured out what their purpose was—to pretend to be humans and sneak into the Otherdimensional Gate.

A human has about 30 to 40 trillion cells. If these billions of cells gain abilities, he couldn't imagine what kind of monster would be created.

Those albino bears and spiders should be their test subjects, and the white fluff on other animals is a manifestation of this transformation process.

However, they were too small and had no intelligence. They would have to grow for a while after passing through the Otherdimensional Gate before they could gain abilities.

He didn't know if they could deceive the sterilization organization at the Otherdimensional Gate base.

"I'll see if I can cure them."

"Okay."

Zhu Qing'an originally thought that these two would wake up in a dozen minutes, but after almost an hour had passed and they still hadn't woken up, she realized that there was a problem with their brains.

And her ability couldn't cure them, so she flew down from above.

Qi Jing took out the Dry Leaf Spirit and the Loving Heart Magic Wand. To prevent only one from being useful, he used both at the same time to treat Bu Luofen, in case the ice was removed but the virus wasn't.

Pink light and green light intertwined.

Soon, Bu Luofen's expression slowly subsided, and his eyes slowly closed.

"It's working, his brain has been cured, but the brain nerves have still suffered irreversible damage, and his personality may change."

Hearing Zhu Qing'an's diagnosis, Qi Jing asked:

"No more love brain?"

"Possibly, even more love brain."
