The world enters the fungal world

Chapter 148 Departure (Thanks to Ai Xiaoxiaoyu for the donation)

It's obvious without even thinking that this must be a new ability that Li Yu has just mastered.

It seems that advancing from advanced to top level allows one to gain access to a new ability.

This made the three of them look on with envy, all of them longing to advance to the top level. They were also very much looking forward to what kind of abilities they would gain if they reached the top level.

Li Yu watched as the "Eye of Weakness" struck the wall in front of him. Although it left nothing behind, he had already vaguely grasped how to launch and attack it. He was quite satisfied with this ability, because the next time he encountered a powerful enemy, he could prioritize using the "Eye of Weakness" to weaken his opponent and put them into a weakened state.

However, like "Superhuman Capture," this ability has a major flaw: it requires a 30-second interval between uses. Therefore, Li Yu will not use it casually unless he encounters an exceptionally powerful or invincible opponent.

"What kind of ability is this?" Zhou Xigang couldn't help but ask curiously, "It's like lasers shooting out of the eyes, but it doesn't seem to cause any damage."

Li Yu smiled slightly and said, "This is called the Eye of Weakness, which can put the opponent into a weakened state."

As he spoke, he opened his pouch and took out a symbiotic bacteria.

Last night in front of the tent, he sold almost all the symbiotic fungi he had accumulated over the past few days, but he didn't sell this Death Mushroom with fungal skills, just to save it for when he advanced to the top level.

At this moment, he fused the Death Mushroom into his left hand. As the Death Mushroom activated, countless mycelia extended from his left hand, quickly forming a pitch-black umbrella.

"What kind of symbiotic bacteria is this?" Lin Muying and the other two looked on with curiosity. They didn't expect that there would be symbiotic bacteria that could grow an umbrella. The surface of the umbrella was black and dull, and it looked like an iron umbrella.

"This is called the Death Mushroom Umbrella." Li Yu was not surprised, as he already knew about the Death Mushroom's ability to condense and manifest a Death Mushroom Umbrella about two feet long.

This mushroom umbrella is as hard as iron, with a sharp tip like a spear. When closed, it can be used as a short spear, and when opened, it can be used as a shield for defense, making it both offensive and defensive.

He gave the more offensive Ghost Crow Sword to Lin Muying, and kept the Death Mushroom Umbrella for himself.

Now that he has the powerful Sirius Blade to attack, he needs the symbiotic bacteria to defend against him even more.

With a thought, the Death Mushroom Umbrella opened with a "whoosh," transforming into a canopy more than two feet in diameter. This canopy appeared to be cast from black iron, its entire body radiating a dark, gloomy light.

When you tap it, it produces a heavy, metallic clang.

It is difficult to destroy with ordinary attacks.

The edge of the umbrella is as sharp as a knife, capable of easily severing a person's head.

Fungal Technique: Death Giant Mushroom. Once activated, it can be used to attack without being held, with a maximum attack range of three meters.

Li Yu stroked the dead mushroom umbrella, a satisfied expression on his face.

He opened his pouch, took out a strengthening crystal core, fused it into the Death Mushroom, and strengthened it to level one.

The enhanced level 1 Dead Mushroom has grown to 2 feet 2 inches in length, and the range and thickness of its cap have also increased. The most significant improvement is that its maximum attack range has increased to 4 meters.

Then Li Yu took out twelve enhancement crystal cores and enhanced it to level three in one go.

The Level 3 Death Mushroom Umbrella has increased in length to one meter, and the diameter of its open canopy exceeds one meter. Its maximum attack range has been increased to over six meters, resulting in a remarkable improvement in both its defensive and offensive power.

Now, he only has 5 enhancement crystals left in his pocket.

"Li Yu, isn't it a bit strange for a grown man like you to use an umbrella as a weapon?" Qian Lili stared for a while before chuckling.

Li Yu put away the mushroom umbrella, in a good mood, and didn't take Qian Lili's words to heart.

Now, he finally had enough confidence to lead them into Lingxu City.

Lin Muying glanced at Qian Lili and said, "I think it's great. Who says men can't use umbrellas as weapons? This umbrella has two uses; it can be used for both offense and defense. It's a very powerful weapon with a wide range of applications."

She realized that when the mushroom umbrella was closed, it became a short spear; when opened, it resembled a huge round shield, with a much larger defensive area than the shield in her hand.

Moreover, its edges look very sharp, so it can obviously be used for attack, making it a versatile and terrifying weapon.

Qian Lili stuck out her tongue and chuckled, "I can't argue with you. Anyway, everything about Li Yu sounds good to you. I was just joking. This umbrella must be really powerful, otherwise Li Yu wouldn't have chosen it. He's smarter than any of us. The stronger he is, the safer we are. I wish Li Yu were stronger."

Zhou Xigang's face showed envy.

"Sigh—he's already at the top level, and we're only at the advanced level. When will we ever catch up with him?"

Zhou Xigang felt somewhat frustrated; he still couldn't understand it.

Having memorized so much knowledge and possessing an extraordinary photographic memory, he is clearly God's chosen son; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a prodigy.

But why hasn't Gou made a name for himself yet, while Li Yu is getting more and more powerful?

"Could we have gotten the wrong script? Damn it, nothing feels right. We transmigrated around the same time, and our experiences are similar. We've been spending most of our time together, so why is he suddenly getting stronger? There's definitely something wrong. Could he have stolen my luck? Or is my chance just yet?"

Zhou Xigang racked his brains but still couldn't figure it out. After thinking for a long time, he finally felt that his own opportunity had not yet appeared. Perhaps this trip to Lingxu City would be the beginning of his true opportunity.

Thinking about it this way, I immediately felt much better.

"I understand. Li Yu was able to break through and become more and more powerful because I am not strong enough to go to Lingxu City at this stage. So I need him to protect me on my way to Lingxu City. Once we get there, that will be my real stage."

He thought of the three black-armored men he had encountered at the supply point, who had jokingly told him that he could look for them when he arrived in Lingxu City.

This made Zhou Xigang immediately feel smug.

"They don't know Li Yu, but they admire me. When we get to Lingxu City, they will definitely help me out, while Li Yu won't get that kind of treatment. When I reach the top level and acquire one or two powerful symbiotic bacteria, I will easily surpass him."

Little did Li Yu and the other two know that Zhou Xigang had so many ideas in his head. Feeling hungry, they took out the Glowing Star Mushrooms and started eating.

After Qian Lili ate one, she noticed Zhou Xigang with a crooked mouth, picking his nose, and a strangely eerie yet smug smile on his face. Unable to contain her curiosity, she asked, "Zhou Xigang, what are you daydreaming about? Aren't you going to eat?"

Zhou Xigang was so engrossed in his thoughts that he was imagining how he would rise through the ranks in Lingxu City, reaching the pinnacle of life, with many beautiful women in Lingxu City vying for his attention and throwing themselves at him.

Just as he was happily lost in thought, Qian Lili interrupted him. Coming back to his senses, he looked at the three people in front of him, his face flushed, and he coughed dryly, saying, "Eat up, I'm starving."

As he spoke, he picked up a Glowing Mushroom.

Qian Lili said suspiciously, "Zhou Xigang, you look so furtive, you're definitely up to no good. Tell me honestly, what were you thinking just now?"

Zhou Xigang angrily retorted, "What nonsense are you spouting? Who's acting suspiciously? I'm happy for Li Yu, and I'm happy for everyone. His breakthrough is good for all of us, and it increases our chances of entering Lingxu City."

"Really?" Qian Lili looked at Zhou Xigang, half believing his words.

Zhou Xigang stuffed the Spirit Star Mushroom into his mouth, but then ignored her.

He knew he couldn't win an argument with this woman; she was just a gossip.

Older women are definitely not to be trifled with.

Li Yu now needs to eat two at a time to fill his stomach. After eating, the four of them walked out of the building.

Li Yu looked at the sky outside. The distant horizon seemed to be shrouded in a thin mist, and the distant buildings appeared as blurry shadows in the mist.

"Today we can finally go to Lingxu City." Qian Lili looked into the distance, her face showing both excitement and a little nervousness.

They had heard too much about Lingxu City, but no one knew exactly where it was or what it looked like.

Zhou Xigang said, "Tang Burou invited us to go together and set off three days in advance. I guess the journey will be difficult. I looked for a long time last night, but unfortunately I didn't see Bai Xiuluo. I wonder if he has already left."

Qian Lili said, "Is there any need to say that? He must have entered Lingxu City long ago."

"9

Li Yu glanced at the three of them before saying, "Let's go." Then he took the lead and walked ahead.

At the supply depot, many people were heading east.

There is a main road from the supply point that leads directly to Lingxu City. They just need to follow this road to the end.

This is a road that is more than 50 kilometers long.

At this moment, people have begun to set off one after another, following the main road into the eastern district.

Around the supply point, people began to appear, some heading towards the supply point, and others leaving.

When Li Yu and his three companions arrived at the eastern side of the supply point, they saw a group of people already walking along the main road a hundred meters away.

Judging by the number, there were at least fifty people in this group, a truly impressive sight.

Traveling over 50 kilometers to enter Lingxu City alone is too dangerous; most teams at the supply points will team up together.

Zhou Xigang saw another group of about forty or fifty people leave the supply point, step onto the main road, and begin to walk into the distance.

The two teams together have over a hundred members.

Clearly, there will be quite a few people heading to Lingxu City today.

Watching the two teams from a distance, Zhou Xigang asked curiously, "Since they're all going to Lingxu City today, why don't they all go together? There's strength in numbers. Why are they going in batches?"

He was a little confused, but Qian Lili glanced at him and said, "Idiot, I know this. There are too many people, and the target is too big. It will definitely attract the fungal beasts."

Zhou Xi narrowed his eyes. He usually called Qian Lili an idiot, but he never expected that she would call him an idiot today. He was speechless for a moment.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "What you said makes some sense. Even the wisest can make a mistake, while you, the fool, can always have a stroke of genius. I admire you."

Qian Lili rolled her eyes at him and scoffed.

Li Yu had already seen Tang Burou, Fang Qinian, Zhou Dingfeng, Wu Qingyun, and Yuan Shuyao sitting or standing at the entrance of the supply point, clearly waiting for someone.

Beside the five of them, he saw two familiar faces: Zhao Wu and Lin Mao.

There were nine other people around them whom Li Yu had never seen before, but guessed they might be companions brought by Zhao Wu and Lin Mao.

On the other side, there were more than a dozen people divided into two teams, possibly two other teams, none of whom Li Yu recognized.

Upon seeing Li Yu, Tang Burou's eyes lit up, a smile appeared on her face, and she came forward to greet him.

"Li Yu, you've arrived."

Tang Burou looked at Li Yu with a faint smile on her face.
