"This skill is really something!"
The Son of Forrest desperately widened its mouth, trying to swallow the thing stuck in it.
But no matter how wide it opened its mouth, it couldn't swallow it.
It desperately tried to bite.
But as soon as it exerted force, it broke several of its jagged front teeth! And by the time it realized it couldn't do anything about this thing and wanted to spit it out, it was too late.
Xia Chujian was upside down, as if suspended in mid-air.
Her left and right mechanical arms stretched forward, and the Destroyer Fully Automatic Submachine Gun and the Adjudicator Anti-Material Sniper Rifle mounted on them were pressed forward.
One on the left and one on the right, they were directly pressed into the Son of Forrest's open mouth through the gaps on both sides of the Ghost Face Safe.
Bang bang bang bang!
Da da da da!
Xia Chujian fired with both hands, and all the bullets shot from the Son of Forrest's throat into its internal organs! Xia Chujian wanted to see if its internal organs were as tough as its outer skin!
If it was really that tough, then there was no other way, she would have to use her Shao Siming Black Silver Bullets...
The Son of Forrest was now in a state of extreme panic.
Because it could no longer materialize from the void! Its body seemed to be imprisoned by something, unable to use the method of virtualization to avoid the physical damage caused by those bullets and gunpowder! Its internal organs were not as tough as its outer skin at all, and were even very fragile.
Soon, the inside of its body was riddled with holes, but the outer skin still looked fine...
"Waa—woo—hiss—hiss—" Its roar became weaker and weaker, and the pink liquid it spewed out became thinner and thinner.
Xia Chujian was overjoyed, knowing that she could kill this guy without her Shao Siming Black Silver Bullets!
But even though victory was in sight, she didn't relax her vigilance.
Having experienced the false death of the "Ba" last time, she dared not take these monsters lightly again.
Their intelligence seemed to be a little higher than that of ordinary Remnant Species.
Xia Chujian seized the time and, without stopping for a moment, fired all the submachine gun bullets and sniper rifle bullets into the Son of Forrest's mouth.
It was not until the thing stopped spewing out any pink smoke or liquid that she slowly retracted her guns.
Naturally, she saw that her Destroyer Fully Automatic Submachine Gun and Adjudicator Anti-Material Sniper Rifle had been corroded to the point where the barrels were about to break.
Even if she didn't stop shooting, the guns wouldn't have lasted.
Xia Chujian casually threw the guns on the ground and didn't touch them again.
Looking again at the Ghost Face Safe she used to prop open the Son of Forrest's mouth, she was not surprised to find that the safe was still intact.
Even the external form that Seven Lù had covered with Eternal Crystal had not changed.
It seemed that this Eternal Crystal was also quite powerful, with a strength comparable to Cyan Obsidian Titanium.
And the "curse" effect of this Son of Forrest was also just so-so, not even damaging the outer shell of the Ghost Face Safe.
Xia Chujian quickly took out the Ghost Face Safe and looked at it carefully, wanting to find something to wipe it with.
She was just worried about any residual pink liquid...
When Seven Lù saw this, he asked curiously, "What is Master looking for?"
Xia Chujian said, "I'm looking for something to wipe it with, so that my things don't get stained with that guy's saliva."
Seven Lù suggested, "What Master said makes so much sense! But Master, this guy's saliva can't be wiped off. Why not use the Chi Yang Fire in the armory over there to burn it?"
"It's guaranteed that even the last remaining Mental Strength Spores will be burned clean!"
Xia Chujian was surprised: "...There are still residual Mental Strength Spores?! What are those things?!"
Seven Lù's childish voice was crisp and clear, like small cannonballs.
He said, "Master, that's the Son of Forrest's unique Ability!"
"Its Mental Strength is different from other Remnant Species. It's substantial and can be emitted like fungal spores, so it's called Mental Strength Spores!"
"It relies on the Mental Strength Spores it emits to invade the human brain, achieving the purpose of controlling human thoughts and actions."
Xia Chujian: "..."
She finally understood why she could feel the headache.
This thing's so-called Mental Strength was not real Mental Strength at all.
Wasn't it just like a virus? Called Mental Strength Spores...
Xia Chujian said, "Then how did it crawl out of that young Instructor's body?"
"Wouldn't it be easier to directly control him with Mental Strength Spores? Why expose its existence?"
She remembered the image she saw in the surveillance footage. Once the human skin was shed, it looked like a bipedal lizard!
Seven Lù quickly explained, "Master, that's different!"
"This Son of Forrest should be a Mental Strength Spore of the Mother of Forrest, parasitizing a human body and growing up inside."
Xia Chujian: ...Another new term.
She asked, "...What is the Mother of Forrest?"
Seven Lù said, "The Mother of Forrest is the mother of all Sons of Forrest!"
Xia Chujian: "...All Sons of Forrest?! So there are many of these strange things?!"
Seven Lù said, "Not many, not many!"
"Not only are there not many, but they are also very rare. Only one Son of Forrest might be born every million years!"
"That requires the Mental Strength Spores split from the Mother of Forrest to parasitize a suitable human body, and then feed on the human body to grow rapidly!"
"Once a Mental Strength Spore of the Mother of Forrest parasitizes a human body, it can grow into a mature body in just five minutes."
Xia Chujian: ...
She was silent for a while, and said, "No wonder that young Instructor changed so much in five minutes..."
"I still think that those substantial Mental Strength Spores are probably viruses."
This was just like the ethereal Mental Strength; in any case, it was invisible to the naked eye.
But if analyzed with instruments, it could still be seen clearly.
Seven Lù didn't speak for a moment, seemingly processing and analyzing the meaning of Xia Chujian's words.
After a while, it said hesitantly, "What Master says also makes sense."
"It's just that Seven Lù's database doesn't have much content about the Mother of Forrest."
"There are only very simple records, such as its appearance, characteristics, and its method of reproduction..."
Xia Chujian clapped her hands and said with a smile, "That's right! I'll help you supplement the database!"
"I think its method of reproduction is viral reproduction!"
"Tsk, that's too powerful! If that's the case, wouldn't the entire Beichen Galaxy have been occupied by them long ago?"
Seven Lù said, "Master is too optimistic. The reproduction of the Forrest is very difficult."
"Moreover, it is said that only one Forrest in the entire universe has the ability to reproduce. Therefore, that one Forrest is called the Mother of Forrest."
"Except for it, all the Forrests in this world are its direct descendants, so these descendants are called Sons of Forrest."
"And the Mental Strength Spores of these direct descendants do not have the ability to reproduce, they can only control human thoughts and actions."
"Therefore, the harm of the Sons of Forrest is far less than that of the Mother of Forrest."
"If you want to quantify it, the Mother of Forrest splits out hundreds of millions of Mental Strength Spores each time, but less than one in ten billion actually has the opportunity to parasitize a human body and survive."
"That is to say, it has to go through at least ten breeding seasons to have a successful parasitism."
"The interval between the Mother of Forrest's breeding periods is also very long, basically once every 100,000 years."
Xia Chujian curled her lips and said with a wicked smile, "So it's a patient with reproductive difficulties, and it can only have one offspring every million years."
"Tsk tsk, I wonder if it knows the 'rich woman offering a reward for a child' meme..."
Xia Chujian had laughed for a long time after seeing the "rich woman offering a reward for a child" scam on the Star Network.
She joked, "Did I just destroy the son it painstakingly sought for a million years? A million years, all for nothing..."
Seven Lù's childish voice was very surprised: "Master! No one has ever said such things about the Mother of Forrest..."
"If you're not wearing a fully enclosed helmet when you speak in the future, it's best not to speak ill of the Mother of Forrest in front of her descendants!"
Xia Chujian raised her eyebrows: "Why can't I speak ill of her? Her descendants have already been killed by me! Can't I speak ill of her even after they're dead?!"
She pointed the barrel of the Destroyer Fully Automatic Submachine Gun at the already stiff corpse of the Crocodile Lizard Snake Monster.
Seven Lù said in a childish voice: "...Because even if this one Son of Forrest is dead, the most powerful mother is still alive."
"If you speak ill of her, it will stimulate the Mental Strength Spores remaining in her descendants' bodies."
"Then these Mental Strength Spores will use their own channels to synchronize what you said to the Mother of Forrest, who is in an unknown location."
Xia Chujian opened her mouth, then closed it again.
After a while, she rolled her eyes and said confidently, "Really that powerful?! I don't believe it!"
"Once I think of a way to deal with the Mother of Forrest, I'll desperately speak ill of her in front of the corpses of her sons and grandsons!"
"Until she can't stand it anymore and crosses the interstellar river to throw herself into my home turf!"
Seven Lù: "..."
It silently used its logical program to analyze and process Xia Chujian's words.
But it still found that the leaps in her thinking were something even the most advanced Mechanical Intelligence like it couldn't keep up with! Shouldn't ordinary people listen to its advice obediently when they hear how powerful the Mother of Forrest is, and not cause trouble at her descendants' graves?! But Xia Chujian is the kind of person who would dance on the graves of the Mother of Forrest's descendants...
You, Mother of Forrest, can't stand it? Fine, come to my doorstep and let's fight! Seven Lù deeply suspected that if Xia Chujian was given some time to grow, she could directly physically eliminate that Mother of Forrest who had lived for countless years in the universe! Its childish voice became even more respectful, saying in a milky voice, "Master is right!"
"At that time, Seven Lù will definitely help Master get rid of the Mother of Forrest!"
"I heard that the Mother of Forrest is full of treasures!"
Xia Chujian said with a smile, "Of course, being able to use Mental Strength Spores to parasitize inside the human body, and no one will discover it unless she actively exposes herself..."
"This ability is really amazing!"
