Lee Sin's Bizarre Adventure

Chapter 113 Fighting poison with poison (for subscription~)

a moment ago.

Li Qing proposed an unexpected idea:

"The secret of immunity to fungi is likely to be related to the soil!"

"My grandpa used to say"

He recalled his grandfather, a farmer who had been farming for most of his life:
"When I was farming in the countryside, I walked barefoot in the dirt every day, and I never had athlete's foot for most of my life."

"But when the days are better and the soil is gone after entering the city, all the athlete's foot and onychomycosis will come."

"Beriberi is also a type of fungus."

"I think there may be something in the soil that can inhibit the growth of fungi!"

Li Qing seemed to have grasped some life-saving straw, and said excitedly:

"That guy is immune to fungi because he is soaked in the mud every day!"

"Anything like that?"

Hearing this folk prescription of "soil cure beriberi", Bugarati and others all expressed difficulty in understanding it.

The earth recipes summed up by the farmers' uncles in the fields are not known to those "greenhouse flowers" born in developed countries.

but
After being told by Li Qing, Fuge, a talented young man with excellent academic ability, suddenly thought of something:
"Soil. Inhibits fungus?"

"Wait. I see!"

His eyes lit up, and at the same time he said excitedly:

"The soil can cure athlete's foot, not because there is any special medicine in the soil that inhibits the growth of fungi."

"On the contrary, athlete's foot can be cured by soil, in fact, because there are more types of fungi and bacteria with stronger vitality in the soil!"

"That's right."

"This is the so-called "antagonism" effect! "

A moment of silence.

Naranja: "???"

Mista: "What?"

Bugarati, Giorno, and Apache looked at each other: "Speak human."

It was Li Qing who reacted.

This is because of the superiority of Chinese in expressing the meaning of words.

The term "antagonism" in Italian is a long academic term composed of a series of letters, which makes it difficult for people without professional knowledge to understand its meaning.

But after this word was translated into Chinese and introduced into Li Qing's mind, it became a simple word "antagonism":
Antagonism refers to coercion and oppression; resistance refers to resistance and resistance.

"I understand!"

Li Qing quickly understood what Fuge wanted to express:
"Natural selection, survival of the fittest."

"Human skin is such a small area, with limited resources and limited nutrition. Only the most competitive types of fungi can survive to finally occupy this territory!"

"It is another fungus that defeats the fungus!"

"Yes."

Fugo restrained his excitement, and explained carefully:
"The so-called "antagonism" refers to the antagonism between microbial colonies. "

"Anyone who knows biology knows that when a fungus grows up, it will invade the living space of other fungi."

"And there are many kinds of microorganisms in the soil, such as bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, and algae. The variety is almost countless."

"The fact that soil can cure athlete's foot is actually because when people touch the soil on their feet, more soil-derived bacteria can invade the skin, thereby completely obliterating the 'aboriginal' athlete's foot fungus."

As he said that, Fugo also gave an example that was not politically correct on their side:
"Like the white man landed on the American continent!"

He then explained in detail:
"Survival of the fittest, organisms will evolve according to their growth environment."

"Thus, although those parasites that specialize in humans can resist the human immune system, they cannot resist the 'compatriots' of nature."

"Although the microorganisms in nature can defeat those 'greenhouse flowers', they cannot resist the powerful immune system of the human body!"

"I see!"

Qiao Luno, a junior high school student who has been very interested in biology since he was a child, also followed the rhythm of Li Qing and Fuge:
"I've seen it in a documentary. Some fungi even secrete some secondary metabolites, usually various antibiotics, in order to compete for living space."

"The so-called penicillin is a war weapon specially created by some fungi of the Penicillium genus to kill competitors!"

"One thing down one thing."

"As long as we make good use of the characteristics of fungi, we humans will benefit in the end."

Having said that, except for Naranja who still has a question mark on his face, everyone understands this method of curing the fungus.

So, how to use this method?
Everyone turned their expectant eyes to Giorno.

The ability to create creatures is simply too powerful.

Compared with animals and plants, microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria are just extremely low-level "inferior life".

Giorno can even create towering trees with his hands, so there is no reason why these microorganisms cannot be born.

"Let me try."

He solemnly complied with everyone's expectations, and the golden experience immediately appeared in front of him:
"Wood, big, big, big, big, big!"

"how is this possible?!"

On the vast lawn, Sai Ke's unbelievable call sign echoed:

"Why are you all fine?!"

"Because of knowledge."

"knowledge is power."

Everyone gave this answer.

Giorno does lack experience in creating microbes.

But microorganisms do not need him to create, they are already active in the soil and air, living in every corner of the earth.

Giorno just tried to give birth to a citrus tree, making it bear a lot of citrus, and using excess vitality to speed up its growth process.

quickly
The microorganisms are attracted by the rich nutrition on the citrus, and because of the excessive vitality injected by the golden experience, they multiply and proliferate rapidly, causing the citrus to rot and fester.

Thus, a green-white colony composed mainly of Penicillium fungi was born.

Giorno let the golden experience infuse vitality, and transplanted these Penicillium fungi, which look very similar to the murderous fungi, to Li Qing and others.

A green and white frightening fluff soon appeared on their bodies.

It looks terrifying, but these green and white bacteria blocks are a solid shield to protect the lives of Li Qing and others.

Although excessive exposure to Penicillium may also cause diseases such as pneumonia infection, this is more than a hundred times milder than the killing fungus released by Chocrat.

that's it.
The fungi transplanted to the surface of the skin and the human body have reached a good relationship of "mutual benefit and symbiosis".

They firmly occupied their territory, and drove out the murderous fungi that would eat human flesh and blood.

Sai may be immune to the fungus, and that's probably why.

According to Li Qing and others' speculation, because of his stand-in ability, Sai Ke often swims in the mud, so the accompanying bacteria on his body have already undergone a fundamental replacement.

These bacteria, which are invisible to the naked eye, have achieved a benign symbiosis with him. Instead of making him sick, they provided him with an almost permanent "shield" against killing fungi.

"These killer fungi."

"It's completely useless to us!"

Li Qing looked at Sai Ke coldly, with uncontrollable anger in his eyes:
"Tell me, how do you plan to die?"

"Ahhhh!"

Seiko let out a panicked cry.

He instinctively wanted to liquefy the ground and escape into the thick rock.

However, this has no effect at all.

Sai Ke's body has been unzipped several times by steel chain fingers, and now he is like a broken rag doll, unable to move at all.

And when he activated his ability and tried to sneak into the ground, the steel chain fingers opened a zipper on the ground casually, breaking through the barrier of the soil like digging potatoes, and violently pulled Sai Ke's head out:
"Ali Ali Ali Ali!"

Another burst of blue fist shadows.

The zipper around Sai Ke's neck was completely unzipped, and his head was separated from his body.

Bugarati twisted Sai Ke's head with one hand, and stared directly at his pupils full of fear with his eyes burning with anger:
"I have killed people, and many of them."

"However, only you and your unseen companion can inspire such a strong killing intent in me."

"because I know"

"Dirty humanoid garbage like you are not qualified to stay in this wonderful world!"

As soon as the words fell, Bugarati, like a server in a basketball game, casually threw Sai Ke's head that had been detached from his torso high into the sky.

"don't want!!"

Sai Ke uttered a terrified wail.

But no one will sympathize, let alone stop it.

Soon, the steel chain finger player was the first to receive the "ball":
"Ali Ali Ali Ali!"

"Ali Ali Ali Ali!"

Endless blue fist shadows hammered Sai Ke's head like a storm.

His skull was shattered into pieces by the endless blowing wind, and his facial features and cheeks were also distorted and deformed.

Then, the "ball" flew out.

It was Giorno who caught the ball, and he also had a golden experience:

"Wood, big, big, big, big, big!"

"Wood, big, big, big, big, big!"

Sai Ke's head was bathed in this golden storm, almost crushed into mud by the mighty punch.

finally.
Li Qing stretched out his horse stance to boost his energy, his muscles tensed to gather all his strength.

"I hit!!"

A strange roar full of anger sounded.

Sai Ke's head then exploded into a puddle of mud in mid-air.
