The world enters the fungal world

Chapter 145 Fang Mingxuan (Thanks to Mingri Xingchen for the reward)

As the sun slowly set in the west, they had already hunted down forty or fifty vine demon wolves and nearly a hundred demon flower pythons. They encountered more and more groups along the way, and in just half a day, they had met at least five or six groups.

They searched for most of the day, but the total number of C-level beasts they hunted did not exceed one hundred and fifty.

As the sun began to set further west, they started heading south.

They didn't get much that day. Li Yu received one enhanced crystal core, three symbiotic bacteria, and one blood-striped mushroom.

Li Yu saw a group of eight people appear in the distance. Although the two groups were several dozen meters apart, they were heading in the same direction.

Soon another group appeared, consisting of five people. When they saw the young man at the head of the group, everyone's hearts stirred slightly.

The young man at the head of the group had dark skin, a thin build, and empty hands; he was the same peak-level expert they had met the previous night.

The sun was setting, and the sky was gradually darkening.

Many of the teams that were hunting the bactericidal beasts in the East District these days are leaving and heading towards the supply point in the South District.

They all kept some distance from each other. Li Yu watched as groups of people appeared one after another around him. In a short time, he could see dozens of people.

Most of these people did not interact, but two groups seemed to know each other and walked together while exchanging greetings.

Seeing many people leaving and heading towards the supply point, Li Yu understood.

It seems that quite a few people will leave the supply point on the 13th and head to Lingxu City.

Further away in the central area, Li Yu could vaguely see even more figures. After all, compared to top-tier experts, there were many more advanced individuals hunting the fungal beasts in the central area.

"Sister Bai Yan!" Suddenly, a voice came from afar, and then a group of people were seen running towards them.

The leader was a young man with messy hair, somewhat like a bird's nest. When he saw Bai Yan, he looked pleased.

Bai Yan's face lit up with joy when she saw him.

"Song Ze." Bai Yan went up to him, clearly familiar with Song Ze, who had messy hair.

The two sides came together and began to talk.

Just then, a swarm of zombie beetles appeared in the distance.

These zombie beetles are D-level elite beasts. When Li Yu saw this group of zombie beetles, he understood that they had left the East District and entered the South District.

The weakest beasts in the East District are all C-rank, so there couldn't possibly be such a weak D-rank elite beast.

There were quite a few of these zombie beetles, a dark, dense mass, at least a hundred of them. They didn't care about the strength of the humans in front of them and charged forward madly.

The vast majority of people had no interest in attacking the zombie beetles; only the group that had been attacked stopped and began hunting them—it was a truly one-sided massacre.

Li Yu followed the group and continued towards the supply point.

The group moved quickly, and as they approached the supply point, more and more people appeared in the distance. Li Yu estimated that he had seen nearly a hundred people along the way.

Large numbers of troops surged from the central area toward the supply point.

Li Yu realized that there were more people at this supply point than he had imagined, but they were usually scattered in various places and rarely gathered together like today.

Around the supply point, many people were frantically picking the patches of level 5 edible fungi.

This group of people had given up on reaching higher realms and didn't want to risk hunting the fungal beasts. They only wanted to gather 10,000 gold coins in the last few days to head to Lingxu City.

After all, there are two conditions for entering Lingxu City: one is to be a peak expert, and the other is to have 10,000 gold coins.

Since the first path was blocked, they chose the second path.

The closer they get to the supply point, the more people there are picking and selling edible fungi.

As the sun was about to set, Li Yu and his group finally arrived at the supply point.

Looking at the supply point bathed in soft light, Li Yu let out a soft sigh of relief. Every time he entered a supply point, he felt a rare sense of ease.

It feels like escaping from a terrifying fungal world and returning to a familiar one.

With his feet on the muddy ground free of mushrooms and fuzzy spores, Li Yu took a deep breath and felt the air was fresh.

The giant mushroom at the center of the supply point emitted a light barrier that protected the area, even keeping out the fungal spores flying all over the place. It could be said that this place was a pure land.

Li Yu found it hard to understand in what form the bacterial plague would descend three days later. Considering that Lingxu City was the only sanctuary in this area, this supply point, which seemed like a safe haven, would no longer be safe.

The supply point was now packed with people, and a long queue had formed in front of the central tent.

Many people are selling various items.

Li Yu has amassed a large amount of spoils these past few days, many of which are symbiotic bacteria that are useless to them. He plans to sell them and exchange them for gold coins.

Upon arriving at the supply point, Zhao Wu, Bai Yan, Fang Ziming, and the others said their goodbyes, each with their own teams and friends.

The team was only temporarily assembled these past two days to enter the eastern area, and now that they're returning to the supply point, the team is considered disbanded.

Fortunately, the supply point wasn't big, so we could meet again at any time.

Li Yu was now alone. Instead of heading directly to the giant mushroom at the supply point, he turned left and headed towards the ruins of the building.

They bought bottled water last time and found a relatively secluded spot to take a shower. He and Lin Muying had agreed to meet there before dark today.

Li Yu suddenly felt inexplicably nervous. What if the time came and he didn't see the three of them?

He suddenly felt a little worried.

Fortunately, he spotted Lin Muying, Qian Lili, and Zhou Xigang gathered there from afar. They were standing there, constantly looking around.

People around them were carrying water jugs and walking into the building.

Since it was a rare opportunity to return to the supply point, many people had plenty of gold coins on hand, so they took the chance to shower and change clothes.

Li Yu had the same idea.

"Mu Ying." Li Yu's voice came from behind them. They heard Li Yu's voice and immediately looked over.

"Li Yu." Lin Muying's face lit up with joy, and she hurried over.

Seeing that the three of them were unharmed, Li Yu finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and the anxiety that had been hanging over him was finally put to rest.

Of those who traveled here, only four of them remain, and each one of them is incredibly precious to him.

He couldn't imagine what would happen if he didn't see the three of them today.

Thinking about it this way, he felt a strong sense of regret. He shouldn't have separated from them back then. If Lin Muying had encountered an accident, he feared he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Li Yu dared not think any further.

"Li Yu, how's it going? How's your progress these past two days?" Zhou Xigang couldn't help but ask. What he really wanted to know was whether Li Yu had broken through to the top level.

Li Yu shook his head and said, "I haven't broken through yet, but it should be soon."

He now felt that the spores of the pupil fungus in his body were almost at their peak, and even if he stopped hunting monsters for the next few days, he was confident that he could break through in a day or two.

Lin Muying knew Li Yu's personality. Since he said it was almost time, it must mean he was about to break through and could break through at any time. So she was relieved and said, "That's good. As long as you break through, there is hope."

Li Yu smiled slightly and asked, "How are you guys doing?"

Lin Muying frowned slightly and said, "Not so good. We can't break through before the 15th, so we've been mainly focused on ensuring our safety these past two days. We've been staying close to the supply points. The advantage is safety, but the disadvantage is that we haven't gained much."

Li Yu said, "It's nothing. By the way, have you obtained any better symbiotic bacteria?"

Lin Muying shook her head and said, "It's still Rockclaw Fungus and Shield Bacteria."

"Your rock claw mushroom is no good, it's too weak, replace it."

As Li Yu spoke, he took out the "Ghost Crow Fungus" and handed it to Lin Muying.

The biggest gain from this trip to the East District was obtaining two decent weapon-type symbiotic bacteria: one "Death Mushroom" and one "Ghost Crow Mushroom".

The "Death Mushroom" is good at both offense and defense, the "Ghost Crow Mushroom" is mainly for attacking and killing, and Lin Muying already has the "Shield Bash Mushroom".

So Li Yu gave her the "Ghost Crow Fungus," which, in terms of attack power, was far stronger than the Rock Claw Fungus, which had no fungal skills.

Lin Muying hummed in agreement and replaced the Rock Claw Fungus with the Ghost Crow Fungus.

The Ghost Crow equipment entered Lin Muying's right hand, and she activated it, from which a Ghost Crow sword about two feet long extended from her right hand.

This Ghost Raven Sword is composed of individual fungal feathers from ghost-faced demonic crows, and it looks like a long sword formed by the convergence of numerous feathers.

When Lin Muying strengthened the enhanced crystal core extracted from the Rock Claw Fungus to level two, the Ghost Crow Sword grew to 1.2 meters in length and more than 5 centimeters in width, forming a Ghost Crow Giant Sword.

Lin Muying could feel the sharpness and power of the Ghost Raven Greatsword, and a look of joy appeared on her face. However, the joy on her face quickly disappeared, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she had something on her mind.

"Mu Ying, is something wrong?" Li Yu keenly sensed that she seemed unhappy.

Qian Lili, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't hold back any longer and said anxiously, "Mu Ying, what's the point of hiding this? You should definitely tell Li Yu."

Li Yu's heart skipped a beat. Had something happened to Mu Ying? His eyes narrowed, and he immediately fixed his gaze on Lin Mu Ying, asking, "What happened? Is there something you can't tell me?"

Lin Muying shook her head, then sighed and said, "It's about Fang Mingxuan. I'm afraid that if you find out, you'll be unhappy for a long time."

"

Li Yu was taken aback. It wasn't Lin Muying who had something to do, but Fang Mingxuan?

But Fang Mingxuan is already dead. He even buried his own body twice. What could possibly happen to him?

A look of confusion crossed his face. He glanced at Lin Muying, then at Qian Lili and Zhou Xigang, and said in a deep voice, "Mingxuan, what's going on? What are you all doing so mysteriously?" His brows furrowed, and he felt somewhat displeased.

Seeing that Li Yu was angry, Qian Lili quickly said, "After we separated from you, didn't we walk from the central area towards the south area?"

Li Yu nodded slightly and listened quietly.

"We happened to be passing by the place where we found the fungal nest that day. We remembered that Fang Mingxuan's body was buried there, so we took a look. And what we saw was...!"

As she said this, a look of fear crossed her face. Looking at Li Yu, her voice trembled slightly as she said, "In the end, Fang Mingxuan's body disappeared."
