Chapter 125 Taming Bacteria

……

Under hypnosis, Ge Mi Po slowly revealed the secrets of the Miao heritage.

Practicing witchcraft is an extremely painful process.

Before the Gu can establish a symbiotic relationship with itself, the body must endure the pain brought by the Gu all the time, and then gradually adapt to the pain until symbiosis is slowly achieved.

During this long and painful torture, the body developed immortal flesh due to repeated injuries and recovery.

This immortal meat is both a product of the body and a product of the Gu, just like the crystallization of the body and the Gu.

Undead meat is uncontrollable in itself, but to the Gu, it is like its own fungus, which, although it cannot be directly controlled, can be guided.

Moreover, undead flesh possesses a powerful devouring ability.

This ability is not only manifested in its ability to seize and absorb nutrients without restraint.

It can also absorb and integrate the characteristics of other poisonous insects.

This is why the Miao people sought ways to make vaccines and absorb various viruses into their bodies.

Not only do they want to create a body that is immune to all poisons, but also because the undead flesh in their bodies can devour, absorb and integrate the characteristics of these viruses.

"Isn't this exogenous gene acquisition?!"

When Wu Wen heard this, water bears immediately appeared in his mind.

The reason why water bears are so tenacious is that they can survive in various extreme environments.

This is because it can accept and embed genes from the outside world, whether they are from plants, microorganisms or fungi.

Wu Wen was shocked but continued to ask questions.

Ge Mi Po continued to answer and revealed another secret of the Miao heritage.

It turns out that the Miao people's Gu is not a simple fungus as Wu Wen believed, but a fungus carefully cultivated by the Miao people.

Different from wild mushrooms in nature, the mushrooms used by the Miao people as their natal Gu are all domesticated.

Moreover, these Gu need to be cultivated for at least a hundred years or even a thousand years before they can be candidates for the natal Gu.

Upon hearing the news, Wu Wen narrowed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath.

As expected of the Miao people with a thousand-year heritage, their things are indeed not simple.

The so-called "cultivated bacteria" is actually more accurately described as "domesticated".

Domesticated bacteria may sound strange, but as humans who have survived on this continent for tens of thousands of years, we have actually domesticated many kinds of creatures.

Domesticate the wild grasses in the wilderness into food crops, domesticate the ferocious wolves into loyal dogs, and domesticate the thick-skinned and large-core tree species into fruits...

During the millennium of inheritance, the Miao people, through the baptism of time, have domesticated various fungi into the Gu they need.

Ask the final question.

Wu Wen's eyes flashed, and he used the "Kill in My Arms" technique to ensure that Ge Mi Po was completely killed.

Turning around, he saw Goudan standing not far away, looking at him in shock.

Wu Wen had actually already noticed Goudan's arrival.

He waved at Goudan and said softly, "Come here!"

Goudan obediently moved his feet and walked over.

Wu Wen ordered: "Go get some dry firewood, I'll wait for you in front!"

"Oh!"

Goudan responded and obediently went back to the yard to get firewood.

Wu Wen searched Ge Mi Po's body. Besides some disgusting things, he also found the Miao Gu enclosed in a transparent crystal that Ge Mi Po showed him last time.

Put it away carefully.

Afterwards, Wu Wen dragged the corpses in front of him one by one to a flat place not far away.

After Goudan had gone back and forth several times and brought enough firewood, Wu Wen lit them up and started cremating them. Looking at the blazing flames in front of him, Wu Wen turned around and asked Goudan beside him: "Are you scared?"

Goudan nodded repeatedly
But Wu Wen looked at his expression, which was silent and calm despite his fear, and couldn't help but smile: "You don't look scared."

Goudan looked up at Wu Wen and asked, "Brother Awen, why did you kill someone?"

Wu Wen touched his head and said calmly: "They came here just to cause trouble for me. If I don't kill them, they will keep causing trouble for me. So, I was forced to do so."

"Oh!" Goudan responded faintly again, then turned his head to look at the burning flames.

After dealing with the body.

Wu Wen and Goudan returned to the yard.

"What have you been doing?"

Jiu Ye asked after noticing that the two had been gone for a long time and didn't know where they had gone.

"I didn't do anything, just went out for a walk."

Wu Wen answered casually

Then, he returned to the room, sat at the table, and carefully observed the seedling Gu in the transparent crystal in his hand.

To be honest, when Wu Wen learned about the existence of immortal meat, he did think about practicing the Miao people's witchcraft.

But now, after thinking about it carefully, he gradually dismissed this idea.

First of all, the practice of witchcraft is not easy and requires strong resource support, just like the Miao people's thousands of years of accumulation.

Secondly, the practice of Gu magic is full of uncertainties. Even the Miao people, who have been practicing Gu for generations, cannot ensure their safety during the practice.

Finally, once one practices witchcraft, one is moving towards an inhuman direction.

Wu Wen still prefers to be a human being.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, he put the Miao Gu away.

However, although Wu Wen does not intend to practice witchcraft, some of its contents can still be used as reference.

For example, the Undead Flesh Guidance Technique.

In order to guide the growth of undead flesh, in addition to the natal Gu, one can also guide it through various medicines during this process.

This method of guidance is not only useful for undead flesh, but also for oneself.

Just like using some kind of medicine to stimulate the growth of a certain part of the body, or inhibit its growth, this is the drug guidance technique in witchcraft.

It just so happened that Wu Wen was thinking about how to deal with the problem of the tail behind him.

After some time, when the tail is fully grown, Wu Wen plans to perform a minor surgery himself to cut it off.

The reason why it is not cut off in advance is because it is still in the development stage and it will definitely grow again if it is cut.

If it continues to grow, Wu Wen will use drugs to suppress it.

—

Time flies.

Half a year passed in a flash.

In a forest outside Zhujia Village.

There was a figure jumping up and down here, moving quickly. It was as if he knew some kind of light skill, performing some movements that ordinary people could not do, like a clever monkey, shuttling back and forth between many tree trunks and treetops.

This person is none other than Wu Wen.

The reason why he was able to move freely and jump through the woods was because of his fully grown tail a few days ago.

Wu Wen hated this tail, which was developed from the coccyx and covered with fine hairs, as much as he liked it now.

The reason for this is that before it grew up, Wu Wen had no idea of its usefulness.
