He understood the terror of the Bloodsucking Moth Beast; a direct attack would be futile. So, while the Crystallization Blade appeared to be swinging wildly, its true purpose was to make the beast dodge.

He pushed off the ground with both feet, unleashing all his strength, using his body as a weapon, and suddenly leaped into the air like a cannonball.

With a loud "boom," he crashed solidly into the vampire moth beast that had just dodged the crystallization blade.

Even a powerful rare beast, having just dodged Lin Muying's rock claws, thrown Qian Lili, and dodged the crystallization blade, had no strength left to dodge Li Yu's charge.

This time, Li Yu used all his strength in the impact, crashing into the body of the vampire moth and flying backwards heavily.

The man and the beast crashed almost simultaneously into the mushroom-shaped mound behind them.

"Li Yu!" Lin Muying raised her right arm, and the "Fountain of Light" finally activated after the thirty-second interval. The light spots that shot out from her right arm swept out and transformed into a huge vortex that enveloped them.

The strength within everyone's body is increasing, and the ability to heal wounds is improving.

Li Yu pressed down on the bloodsucking moth beast that had been thrown out, then spread his arms and hugged it tightly.

"Quickly!" he growled from his throat. This bloodsucking moth was incredibly strong. Even with all his strength and the ever-increasing power from the "Fountain of Light," he could only hold it off for a moment at most.

At the same time, he revealed a crystallized knife in his left hand, intending to stab it into its body.

The Bloodsucking Moth Beast possesses overwhelming strength and speed, but it has one major weakness: its insect-like body resembles a moth, and its body surface is very soft, lacking a tough, hard shell for defense.

Suddenly struck, its outer skin ruptured, and white sap splattered out. The immense force propelled it headfirst into a cluster of mushrooms.

Before it could react, the insect suddenly twisted its body, unleashing tremendous power. Before Li Yu's crystallized blade could even pierce its body, it was flung away.

Fang Mingxuan, who had struggled to his feet, rushed forward, seized the opportunity, clasped his hands together with the long knife in his hand, and blue-white electric arcs appeared on the surface. Together with the "spore electric arc", he thrust it out fiercely.

Just as the Bloodsucking Moth Beast had exerted all its strength to shake off Li Yu, its body suddenly shuddered as it was struck by the "Spore Arc." Immediately afterward, it felt a chill in its abdomen as Fang Mingxuan, who had charged forward recklessly, stabbed it in the stomach.

Its soft body was almost pierced through, and a sharp, piercing sound came from the vampire moth's open mouth.

It stretched out its claws and clamped the long knife that was inserted into its own insect body. Its wings flapped behind its back, and it twisted its body desperately, still trying to pounce on Fang Mingxuan.

It had just struggled forward half a meter when Lin Muying grabbed the spiked club and, looking like a madwoman, hurled it at it.

A long knife was stuck in the belly of the Bloodsucking Moth Beast, almost piercing its body. Its speed was obviously slowed down, and it had to drag the long knife along the mushroom mountain to roll and avoid the falling spiked clubs.

Even a centipede, though dead, does not stiffen. Despite being injured, the power it unleashed was still terrifying. Fang Mingxuan, who was gripping his longsword, had not yet understood what was happening when he suddenly felt a tremendous force pulling at the sword. He lost his grip and was thrown backward.

The bloodsucking moth beast's open mouth once again emitted a sharp, piercing insect chirp. Its body suddenly shuddered, and it leaped out of the air, carrying the long knife stuck in its abdomen, and pounced on Lin Muying who was rushing towards it.

Without hesitation, Lin Muying reached out her left hand, and the five rock claws extended half a foot, grabbing into its body.

On the other side, Li Yu, who had been thrown out, had already gotten up and rushed forward at the same moment.

With a wave of his left hand, the Vampire Moth Beast's left claw, which was about to grab Lin Muying's body, was severed by the Crystallization Blade, and Li Yu's charging body collided with it again.

Li Yu's body, along with it, was thrown out once again.

The remaining right claw of the Bloodsucking Moth Beast lashed out like a dagger, plunging into Li Yu's chest. At the same moment, the crystallized knife in Li Yu's left hand also plunged into the Bloodsucking Moth Beast's mouth, piercing its head and writhing wildly inside.

The man and the insect rolled around on the ground, crushing countless mushrooms and tumbling in the mushroom mud that resembled rotten mud.

Li Yu pretended to be insane, continuously twisting the crystallized knife in his left hand, trying to shred the head of the blood-sucking moth beast.

Before dying, the blood-sucking moth beast launched a counterattack, its sharp right claws digging through the leather armor into Li Yu's chest and flesh, relentlessly tearing downwards, cutting into his skin and flesh, trying to disembowel him.

Lin Muying rushed over and saw a person and an insect entangled together, rolling violently on the ground. She had nowhere to start.

Finally, Li Yu stopped, panting heavily. The head of the blood-sucking moth beast had been completely shredded into a lump of mud by his crystallization blade, leaving only the headless insect body, which was already dead and unable to move.

Li Yu rolled over and lay flat on his back, his chest covered in blood, revealing a huge wound that looked horrifying.

Lin Muying was horrified when she saw this, and she rushed over to press down on his huge wound.

On the other side, Fang Mingxuan staggered and struggled to his feet, his face as pale as a dead man.

Qian Lili, headfirst and feet buried in the mushroom, struggled desperately, finally managing to pull her head out of the muddy mushroom. She collapsed to the ground, her face covered in mushroom mud, panting heavily.

Li Yu opened his eyes wide and saw a faint white light appearing from the corpse of the dead blood-sucking moth beast beside him, which quickly condensed into a strengthening crystal core.

Li Yu reached out his left hand and grabbed the enhancement crystal core.

As for the other vampire moth he killed, no enhancement crystal core appeared in its body.

"Quickly—get out of here!"

As Li Yu felt the crystallizing bacteria in his left hand absorbing the strengthening crystal core, he looked at Lin Muying, who was pressing on the wound on his chest, and whispered to the others.

With such a commotion and several corpses just now, it's very likely that they've attracted new monsters. If another bloodsucking moth beast comes, all of them will die here. The most important thing now is to escape from here.

Lin Muying nodded to indicate that she understood, and carefully picked up Li Yu. Seeing Qian Lili struggling to get up, she immediately said, "Lili, take my and Li Yu's weapons with you, let's leave here quickly."

Although Qian Lili had just plunged into the mushroom, she was not actually injured. She nodded in response to Lin Muying's words, pulled out the iron spear that Li Yu had thrown into the mushroom, and then took Lin Muying's spiked club.

Fang Mingxuan picked up the two backpacks on the ground. Of the four backpacks that everyone originally carried, only two remained, and the other two had long since been lost.

Zhou Xigang also got up. He was seriously injured, with blood streaming down his shoulder, but not as badly as Li Yu. Although Lin Muying's blow hit his right leg, he was protected by the "bone armor" and was not seriously hurt.

All five knew it was dangerous. Lin Muying carried Li Yu, and the others followed closely behind, quickly fleeing the area.

Following the gaps between these mushroom-shaped mountains, the group didn't know where to escape to, only that they should try to get away from the corpses of these blood-sucking moth beasts.

Lin Muying's "Fountain of Light" was restored and immediately activated, causing a continuous stream of light points to surge into Li Yu's body in her arms.

Li Yu is the strongest among them, and the most important thing now is to help him recover as much as possible.

As Li Yu felt the continuous flow of heat emanating from the wounds in his chest and abdomen, the powerful healing ability of the "Radiant Spring" caused the wounds to stop bleeding, shrink, and heal at an astonishing speed—

And the crystallized bacteria on his left hand finally completely fused with and disappeared the enhanced crystal core.

Since its first enhancement, the crystallizing bacteria has now fused with three more enhanced bacteria, causing intense energy fluctuations within it. Finally, the crystallizing bacteria began its second enhancement.

Finally, Lin Muying stopped panting, leaned against a patch of mushrooms, and slowly sat down with Li Yu in her arms.

She had been using "Fountain of Light" every three thousand seconds, and her strength was exhausted. Coupled with the previous desperate battle and now carrying Li Yu, she finally couldn't hold on any longer. Her legs went weak, and she sat down with Li Yu in her arms.

However, she did not let go of Li Yu in case of any unexpected situation, so that she could escape with Li Yu as quickly as possible.

Li Yu lay down on the ground, resting his head in her arms, feeling the warmth and softness.

When the other three saw Lin Muying stop, they also stopped. Each of them was panting, and their faces were all frighteningly pale.

Although they stopped, the three did not dare to rest. Instead, they nervously held their weapons and stared intently at their surroundings.

I'm afraid that another bacterium-infested beast might suddenly attack.

Now that Li Yu is injured, any other rare beast could easily kill them.

The repeated use of "Radiant Spring" had a huge effect. Li Yu could no longer feel the pain in his wounds. While resting his head on Lin Muying's chest, he raised his left hand and looked at the crystallized bacteria that had been strengthened a second time.

"The first enhancement only requires one enhancement crystal core, the second enhancement requires three —"

Li Yu murmured softly, as if talking to herself, or perhaps to Lin Muying.

My left hand began to crystallize, and there was crystallized material extending upwards from my palm.

Originally, he needed to clench his left hand for the crystallized blade to extend from his fist, but after the second enhancement, he was able to completely control the crystallized blade.

At this moment, as he opened his hand, countless crystallized mycelia extended upwards and coalesced, quickly forming a short knife two feet long.

The crystallized blade, which could originally only extend one and a half feet, not only grew to two feet in length, but its blade also became thicker and heavier. The power that the crystallizing bacteria could provide was enhanced, further increasing the blade's strength.

Not only that, the two-foot crystallization knife was fully revealed in his left hand, and countless tiny crystal mycelium strands were connected between his left hand and the crystallization knife.

Lin Muying opened her beautiful eyes wide and said softly, "You crystallizing bacteria—"

Li Yu naturally wouldn't hide it from her, so he told her about strengthening the crystal core.

"Your Rockclaw should also be able to evolve. To achieve a second enhancement, you'll need at least four enhancement cores—"

As Li Yu spoke, he controlled the crystallization knife through the mycelium, causing it to suddenly spin in his palm.

Originally, the crystallized blade could only extend from his left fist without any other changes, but the second-strengthened crystallized blade underwent a complete transformation.

"Unfortunately, the mycelium connecting the left hand and the crystallization knife can only extend up to one foot, and cannot extend any further."

Li Yu controlled the two-foot-long crystallizing knife through the mycelium, extending it beyond one foot. The limit of this mycelium was one foot, which was far inferior to the giant hook controlled by Qian Lili, which could swing beyond two meters.

However, Li Yu also understood that his crystallized bacteria and giant hook bacteria belonged to two different types.

His Crystallized Blade is primarily used for close combat, while the Giant Hook Fungus is primarily used for mid-range attacks.

Now, it can fly more than a foot away from the hand, and with the addition of the two-foot crystallized blade, the limit is one meter, which is already an astonishing change.

In the midst of battle, even this slight change in distance can determine life or death, victory or defeat.

Li Yu put away the second-strength crystallized blade, feeling the wound on his chest healing. The surroundings were dark and gloomy, and in the distance, he could only vaguely see the huge outline of Mushroom Mountain.

Li Yu kept observing the fluctuations of the light spots around him, and thankfully, he did not find any danger for the time being.

Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound came from afar, startling everyone who heard it.

Li Yu was familiar with this sound; wherever the rotting, mushroom-faced corpse's spiny tail swept, it would trigger such an explosion.

"Could it be—"

Li Yu's expression changed slightly. He immediately lifted his head from Lin Muying's embrace, sat up straight, and then stretched out his right hand to Qian Lili, indicating that she should give him the iron spear.

Qian Lili nervously handed him the iron spear.

Suddenly, Li Yu noticed abnormal fluctuations in the surrounding light spots. His expression changed, and he stood up, holding the iron spear, realizing that his chest wound had not fully healed.

Lin Muying also hurriedly stood up, holding her spiked club.

Li Yu took a deep breath and watched the light spots in the darkness above fluctuate violently. Suddenly, two dark shadows appeared, which were two blood-sucking moth beasts.

However, the next moment, a look of surprise appeared on Li Yu's face, because the two blood-sucking moth beasts that appeared did not attack them, but instead rushed along the mushroom mountains on both sides into the darkness in the distance, and soon disappeared into the darkness.

The others quickly retreated to Li Yu's vicinity, each gripping their weapons tightly, ready for battle.

Immediately following was a strange shriek, and three giant slugs emerged from the darkness. They did not attack Li Yu and his group of five below.

The enormous, vat-like body writhed rapidly and soon disappeared into the darkness in the distance.

"What's going on?" Qian Lili nervously gripped the hem of her clothes, her face showing surprise.

Suddenly, another loud boom came, this time the sound was much closer to everyone.

Li Yu suddenly understood why these bloodsucking moths and giant slugs didn't attack the five of them: it was because they were on the run.

"Let's go," Li Yu whispered, and ran off in the direction the giant slugs had fled.

The next moment, dozens of meters behind them, a mushroom-shaped mountain suddenly exploded, and mushrooms burst into mud that splashed in all directions.

The monstrous, rotting, human-faced mushroom that resembled a ghost appeared, floating in the darkness. Its spiny tail, several meters long, suddenly swept to one side, causing the mushrooms to explode wherever it went.

Li Yu turned his head and saw that some of the blood-sucking moth beasts that hadn't had time to escape were instantly blown to smithereens, leaving no trace of their remains.
