Chapter 300 The Bacterial Kingdom
……

Wu Wen pulled hard.

In an instant, he forcibly moved the seemingly indestructible diamond cluster that was firmly embedded in the ground.

When Wu Wen slowly pulled up the small half of the diamond cluster that had sunk into the ground.

It was covered with dense, wriggling silk threads that looked like living creatures.

These silk threads seemed to possess their own consciousness, constantly twisting and struggling, as if they were about to engage in a fierce battle with Wu Wen to seize them.

"That was quite powerful!"

Wu Wen's lips curled up, revealing a stern smile.

Then, he suddenly discharged electricity from his palm, and blinding flashes of light appeared.

The fine threads beneath the diamond cluster snapped instantly, making a crackling sound, like fragile musical strings being mercilessly severed.

However, just as Wu Wen had completely lifted the diamond cluster, an accident occurred.

The ground beneath it suddenly collapsed without warning, creating a huge crack, as if the earth had been ripped open.

Immediately afterwards, the earth's energy surged out like a raging tide.

At first, what gushed out was just an insignificant flow of air, gentle and mild, as if it were just a slight breath from the earth.

But as time went on, this airflow intensified, and the gushing earth energy gradually turned into gray vapor.

The gray mist surged and billowed, like ferocious dragons roaring out from the abyss below.

This scene was as if Wu Wen had inadvertently opened a long-sealed seal, completely releasing the demons that had been sealed within.

But that's the reality.

However, this earth's energy contains a large number of bacteria!
Such a massive and rampant colony of bacteria could easily be called "demons."

We must not allow these bacteria to continue gushing out like this.

Otherwise, if they are allowed to spread, this land will surely become a wasteland, and countless creatures will perish as a result.

If a highly contagious plague were to develop, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Wu Wen immediately took action.

"Plasma Lightning - Heavenly Strike!"

His body radiated energy, bombarding the electric furnace like a surging tide.

Instantly, high-density electron-hole pairs are excited, forming an overpotential difference and releasing incandescent plasma arcs.

Wu Wen quickly condensed a huge spherical plasma in his palm. The sphere shimmered with dazzling light, like a small sun about to explode.

With a flick of his wrist, a chain of lightning bolts rained down like a storm. Each strike of the black mist triggered a second lightning strike, with flashes of lightning and roars of thunder, as if to utterly destroy all evil in the world.

However, the result was somewhat unexpected for Wu Wen.

His lightning attack landed on the gushing gray mist, causing negligible damage, as if he were scraping the gray mist.

Every time a bit of gray energy is destroyed, more gray energy comes from behind to replenish it, endlessly, as if it is stimulated, and the more it is destroyed, the more it appears.

"Hmm? Thunder magic is useless?"

Wu Wen frowned slightly.

"Then let's try this trick again!"

After saying that, Wu Wen made his move again.

The radiant energy is focused into an array of tourmalines, instantly generating temperatures of thousands of degrees Celsius, forming a blazing field of thermal radiation.

The air within ten meters of him was distorted and deformed by the high temperature, as if being kneaded by an invisible giant hand.

The ground beneath their feet had been melted into lava, the scalding lava bubbling and gurgling, its heat spreading outwards like waves, scorching everything in its path.

"Melting Matrix - Burning Heaven's Ashes!"

Wu Wen suddenly thrust out with both palms.

In an instant, he transformed into an erupting volcano, the extreme heat erupting as bright flames that shot out like angry fire dragons, baring their fangs and claws as they charged toward the black mist.

However, the situation once again surprised Wu Wen.

When they sensed the approaching high temperature, the gray gas actually began to clump together, forming a condensate.

The condensate was like a huge black fortress, indestructible.

Wu Wen's attack was like heating the surface of water with a flamethrower at thousands of degrees.

The intense heat of the flames is instantly evaporated by the surface water vapor the moment it touches the water, carrying away the heat and preventing it from reaching the water's surface.

Therefore, it cannot even heat up and boil water, let alone harm it.

"It seems that conventional methods are no longer effective against you!"

After failing again, Wu Wen's expression finally turned serious.

He slowly withdrew his attack and stood quietly in place.

Unable to sense any attack, the black energy spread out again, forming a huge black cloud. With the continuous surge of earth energy, its range expanded, gradually enveloping the land like a shadow of death.

Wu Wen remained standing still, motionless, as if waiting for something.

at this time.

Surprisingly, some dark, ethereal gas began to appear around his body.

The ethereal gas was dreamlike and illusory, as if it were mist drifting from another mysterious world.

Furthermore, these dark-colored gases are constantly spreading outwards, and their volume is increasing, making them look like smog.

In this gloomy haze, there are always some twinkling lights, like stars in the night sky, mysterious and beautiful.

The two clouds of gas expanded into each other.

Like two armies about to clash.

They approached slowly. Before long, they made contact.

But in that very instant, the gray vapor formed by the bacterial clusters, upon contact with the smog, was instantly digested, much like ice meeting hot oil.

The gray mist seemed to be swallowed by an invisible force, making a "sizzling" sound as it quickly dissipated into the air.

Under this relentless onslaught, the gray mist was quickly suppressed and enveloped by the eerie haze.

The eerie haze was like a giant net, trapping the gray air tightly within it, leaving it nowhere to escape.

"burst!"

Wu Wen suddenly snapped his fingers, the sound crisp and loud.

The haze suddenly burst forth with a bright light, like countless small suns blooming simultaneously, creating a powerful, silent explosion.

The shockwave from the explosion spread outwards like a surging wave.

In an instant, all the gray mist vanished, as if it had never existed.

This move.

Named: Ionized Fog!
It was developed by Wu Wen on the spot to suppress the black energy.

He leaked radiation energy from his body and controlled it to the edge of a safe threshold, thereby using ionized air to form charged fog.

This smog is like an electronics field.

In addition to causing continuous damage, Wu Wen can also actively detonate the fog to create a regional electromagnetic pulse impact.

The gray gas produced by these bacterial colonies can directly cause devastating damage, similar to real harm.

Wu Wen walked to the entrance of the crevice.

At this moment, the earth's energy continues to erupt, like an unending undercurrent.

However, due to the presence of smog, the black gas that surges out with the earth's atmosphere is annihilated the moment it appears, like moths drawn to a flame, courting their own destruction.

Looking at the crack in the ground in front of me.

If this problem is not completely resolved, the crisis caused by the black energy will likely reappear as soon as I leave.

However, compared to simply sealing the crack in the ground.

Wu Wen wanted to go inside and see what the root cause of this problem was.
So, he took a step forward, transforming into a stream of particles, and entered it instantly like a bolt of lightning.

Underground, Wu Wen moved through the cracks in the soil.

This soil is the unique black soil of Liaodong, fertile and soft, like a huge black sponge.

This black humus layer, in a sense, is truly an excellent breeding ground for fungi.

Wu Wen went more than ten meters deep before reaching the rock layer.

The rock layer was incredibly hard, like a huge steel barrier, blocking his progress.

Following the earth's energy, Wu Wen continued to delve deeper into the crevices of the rocks.

The narrow gap resembled a winding underground passage.

Until they reached a depth of more than a thousand meters underground.

Wu Wen suddenly found himself in an underground space.

The temperature here is very high, like a giant steamer, steaming hot.

The surrounding environment was all rock, with various fluorescent crystals exposed, which shimmered like stars in the night sky with a mysterious and enchanting light.

But it is in these polar regions where life is rarely found.

Wu Wen, however, saw that this seemed to be another underground world of fungi.

Fungi can be broadly classified into three types: bacteria, fungi, and slime molds.

In this underground world, fungal carpets cover the entire rock, like a giant cradle of life.

It was covered with all sorts of colorful and strangely shaped mushrooms.

Some stand gracefully like small umbrellas; others resemble giant trumpets with their mouths wide open; still others are like coral, with intertwined branches, beautiful yet eerie…

Slime molds, like living creatures in this underground world, move on these fungi in all sorts of diverse forms.

Some resemble long, thin threads, slowly crawling across the fungal carpet; others look like soft clumps of jelly, constantly changing shape; still others are like tiny tentacle monsters, extending countless tentacles to explore their surroundings…

As for various bacteria, they live between the two.

Like tiny sprites, they roam freely in this world of fungi.

This harmonious and integrated underground world of fungi.

At first glance, it looks like an alternate dimension, not a product of Earth.

Just as Wu Wen was about to step into this strange fungal world.

He suddenly stretched out a finger and touched a piece of ore next to him.

There is a thin layer of dust on the surface of the ore.

“This is… gold ore fungus!” Wu Wen exclaimed in surprise.

Gold-mining bacteria are a type of bacteria that can survive in extreme environments, comparable to tardigrades!

Gold-mining bacteria can inhabit places with temperatures as high as 60°C and no light or oxygen.

They can also use the energy generated by the decay of radioactive materials to sustain their lives.

What's even more bizarre is that they possess all the genes needed to achieve self-sufficiency.
