Li Yu hummed in agreement.

"Li Yu." Zhao Wu's hearty laughter rang out, and Lin Mao nodded at him with a smile.

"It's them." Zhou Xigang also recognized Zhao Wu's distinctive bald head. Li Yu had teamed up with them to hunt the bactericidal beasts in the East District.

Li Yu nodded as he greeted Zhao Wu and Lin Mao.

Zhao Wu laughed and said, "With Li Yu joining us, our chances of success are much higher. Li Yu was the main force when we entered the Eastern District before. I didn't expect you to know him. With you guys here, this trip to Lingxu City is definitely going to be a sure thing."

As Zhao Wu spoke, he looked at Li Yu and Tang Burou with a big smile, praising them highly.

Lin Mao said with some regret, "It's a pity that Bai Yan declined our invitation; otherwise, with her, we would have been almost certain to succeed."

He still vividly remembers how desperately Bai Yan had worked before.

Zhao Wu said, "She and Song Ze have a group of people who seem to be leaving this afternoon. Let's leave them be."

Lin Mao said regretfully, "It's a pity, Bai Yan is still very capable."

Tang Burou pulled Li Yu to the other side where a dozen or so people were gathered, and said, "This is Li Yu, this is Fang Bo, this is Han Zichuan, and this is Meng Suqing."

Three of the dozen or so people stood up—two men and one woman—and all nodded slightly to Li Yu, indicating that they had met.

They all appeared very polite when they looked at Tang Burou.

Li Yu knew that the two men and one woman introduced were probably top-tier experts, and there were nine other people behind them, who were likely companions of these three and belonged to a high level. Tang Burou did not introduce them.

Li Yu noticed that the three people treated Tang Burou very politely, and he didn't expect that she had such high prestige among them.

There are now thirty-two people gathered here, but the team has not yet set off, clearly waiting for someone.

Just as Tang Burou finished her introduction, six people approached from a distance. The young man at the head of the group called out from afar, "Zhao Wu."

Zhao Wu went to greet them; these six people were friends he knew.

"This is Wen Jingming, and this is Jiang Yuan." Zhao Wu pulled the two people walking at the front of the group to Tang Burou and introduced them to everyone, with the emphasis on introducing them to Tang Burou.

Judging from their demeanor, Li Yu believed they were two top-tier experts.

As for the other four people, Zhao Wu did not introduce them; these four people should only be at the advanced level.

Tang Burou didn't recognize the two people, but smiled and nodded, then introduced herself.

These people introduced themselves to all top-tier experts; those who hadn't reached that level were automatically ignored.

Before long, two more teams arrived, each with five members, and each team had a top expert from the capital.

One of the teams consisted of friends of Tang Burou, and the top expert leading them was a woman named Xu Mengwan. The leader of the other team, Peng Shaoan, was a friend of Lin Mao.

"That's about enough, let's go." Tang Burou raised her voice, and many people who were sitting and resting stood up.

Zhao Wu nodded and said, "Okay, let's go." After saying that, he touched his bald head and walked out first.

Four people followed closely behind him; they were his four closest companions.

Then Lin Mao and his five men followed closely behind.

Li Yu walked together with Lin Muying, Qian Lili, and Zhou Xigang.

Lin Muying and the other two remembered Li Yu's instructions: no matter what happened, they should not leave him, but stay by his side as much as possible.

Tang Burou intentionally moved closer to Li Yu, seemingly wanting to talk to him, but there were people all around, and with Lin Muying and Qian Lili on either side of Li Yu, she couldn't find an opportunity to speak.

Their team consisted of forty-eight people. They left the supply point and headed towards the eastern district along the main road leading to Lingxu City.

This road leads directly from the supply point in the South District to the East District.

Along the way, everyone was relatively relaxed. Nearly fifty people gathered together, including more than ten top experts.

With such a team and strength, they could fight any powerful fungal beast that came their way, and everyone was very confident about heading to Lingxu City.

The South District is the safest area among the five districts in the supply point area. The fungal beasts that appear there are mostly the weakest D-rank beasts, with the occasional D-rank elite beast.

Perhaps because there were too many of them, or perhaps because they had been cleared out by the two teams ahead of them, they did not encounter any attacks from the fungal beasts along the way.

Occasionally, you can see the corpses of some fungal beasts, left behind by the attacks suffered by the teams ahead.

The group moved quickly and soon followed the main road through the South District and into the East District.

The East District is the most dangerous of the five districts, except for the North District, which is known as the forbidden zone. The fungal beasts that appear in the East District are basically C-level beasts, with strength comparable to top-level beasts.

If it weren't for the guidance of these top experts, Lin Muying and Qian Lili and their group of high-level members wouldn't have dared to enter the Eastern District at all.

Zhao Wu and Lin Mao, who were in charge, brandished their weapons, revealing their cautious attitude.

"Everyone be careful. Those who are high-level should stay in the middle and not leave the group. The monsters that appear here are mostly C-level beasts, which you can't handle," Zhao Wu kindly reminded everyone.

Immediately, seven or eight people walked to the edge of the line.

These seven or eight people were all top-tier experts, and they came to the sides and rear of the group.

Li Yu also came to Lin Muying and Qian Lili's side, telling them to move closer to the center. He stretched out his right hand, and the Heavenly Wolf Blade appeared in his right hand.

"Muying, don't use your Radiant Spring and Swift Spring carelessly. Save them for crucial moments," Li Yu whispered a reminder.

Lin Muying gave a soft "hmm," a hint of nervousness showing on her face. This was her first time in the East District, and she had heard that even the weakest of the bacterium-transformed beasts that appeared were C-level beasts that they couldn't withstand.

In the distance ahead of them, the faint sounds of beast roars and fighting could be heard, indicating that the group leading them had been attacked.

Li Yu knew that with their team's strength, C-rank beasts posed no threat to them; the real trouble came from C-rank elite beasts.

Previously in the East District, he, Zhao Wu, Bai Yan, Lin Mao and others had hunted C-level elite beasts and witnessed their terrifying power.

Even so, two top-tier experts died, and now, although they have twelve top-tier experts, they have more than thirty people to protect.

Li Yu felt the pressure, so he stayed close to Lin Muying and the other two, fearing that something unexpected might happen and Fang Mingxuan's tragedy might repeat itself.

Following the main road, the group continued forward and soon saw the corpses of more than a dozen vine demon wolves on the ground ahead. These were left behind by the teams that had passed through this area before.

Two teams, totaling over a hundred people, had set off ahead of them. With them leading the way, it was much safer and easier for them to fall behind.

Soon, they traveled eastward along the main road for about two kilometers without encountering any danger.

Although roars and screams could be heard from ahead occasionally, by the time they arrived, the fungal beasts that had appeared had already been dealt with by the previous team.

Li Yu saw that most of the dead were C-level beasts, including vine demon wolves, demon flower pythons, and even a C-level elite beast, the Death Python.

But we didn't see a single person injured or killed.

When Li Yu saw this, his heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the two teams in front of him were quite strong, and some of them might even be led by top experts. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to deal with the Death Python so easily.

It is important to know that killing a giant python requires at least several top-tier experts of superior strength to join forces and pay a price.

Even top-tier experts who are weaker might lose their lives.

"Given the current situation, if we just speed up a bit, we might be able to reach Lingxu City before nightfall today."

A man's voice suddenly rang out from the crowd. Li Yu looked over and saw Lin Mao in the crowd.

He was leading five people, walking with Zhao Wu.

Li Yu was familiar with Lin Mao; two days prior, a group of them had hunted down the fungal beasts together in the East District.

Lin Mao is considered the weakest of the top-tier experts, with strength not much stronger than C-rank beasts like the Vine Demon Wolf or the Demon Flower Python.

As Zhao Wu looked ahead, he added, "If things continue like this, we'll definitely make it to our destination. The only concern is the safety of the journey."

Lin Mao said softly, "There are two teams ahead of us, with over a hundred people in total. The peak expert we met that night is leading one of them. Even if there is any danger, he will take care of it. If we follow behind, there will be basically no danger."

When Li Yu heard him mention the powerful expert he had seen that night, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately thought of the young man with dark skin who wielded an ice spear.

Could it be that he was in one of those two teams before?

If that's the case, then their chances of reaching Lingxu City are much greater.

Before long, they followed the road covered by fuzzy fungal spores deeper into the eastern district. In the distance, they heard faint, strange howls. Suddenly, a large number of giant, demonic flower pythons emerged from the ruins of a nearby building.

Since they left the supply point, they have finally encountered the bactericidal beast for the first time.

More than twenty giant pythons appeared on the left side of the group at an extremely fast speed, like sharp arrows rushing towards them.

"Everyone calm down, step back and leave it to us."

Zhao Wu let out a loud shout, his right hand wielding the rock spear, and stepped forward. He didn't even notice the twenty-odd giant pythons, as his team had more than a dozen top experts.

Top experts such as Fang Qinian, Lin Mao, Fang Bo, Meng Suqing, and Han Zichuan all took action and rushed forward to meet them.

Li Yu did not make a move, but remained in front of Lin Muying and the other two. He would only make a move if these demonic flower pythons rushed in front of him.

Otherwise, if he rushes forward and gets too far away from the three of them, he won't have time to turn back and save them if something happens to them.

He made a similar mistake last time, and he absolutely cannot make the same mistake again this time.

Moreover, those top experts could easily handle this group of demonic flower pythons, so whether he intervenes or not is of little significance.

To his surprise, Tang Burou did not make a move; she simply watched quietly.

Zhao Wu was a top-tier fighter, easily crushing these demonic flower pythons. With a thrust of his rock spear, blood splattered, and one of the demonic flower pythons was pierced through the belly, flying through the air. After landing, its body twisted and contracted, and it quickly died.

A giant python with a demonic flower rushed to within three meters of Li Yu before he made his move, unleashing a series of strikes with his Heavenly Wolf Blade.

Having advanced to the top level, Li Yu's current physical enhancements, whether in strength, stamina, or speed, without relying on any other power and purely on his basic physical abilities, are in no way inferior to the C-rank Demon Flower Python.

He did not activate Yin power, nor did he enter "Super-State Capture," and he didn't even need the fungal technique "Heavenly Wolf Slash."

Simply by wielding the Heavenly Wolf Blade and relying on basic strength and speed, he was able to slay the Demon Flower Python.

After killing three giant demonic flower pythons in succession, Li Yu revealed a faint smile on his face. This powerful feeling was very exhilarating.

Unfortunately, no spoils were found on the corpses of these three giant demonic pythons.

Soon, most of the twenty-odd giant pythons that had rushed out were dead, and the group was preparing to kill the rest.

Suddenly, a piercing shriek rang out from the ruins of the building ahead, and a giant python, much larger than the Demon Flower Python, burst forth.

When Li Yu heard the piercing shriek, he knew that an even more powerful death python had appeared.

The Death Python is a C-rank elite beast with formidable strength. It would take the combined efforts of several top-tier combatants to kill it.

Zhao Wu, who was at the forefront, immediately retreated, as he could not deal with this giant death python alone.

Several top experts instinctively retreated.

Just then, Tang Burou, who hadn't made a move yet, suddenly swayed and passed between Zhao Wu and Fang Qinian who were retreating.

With a flick of her right hand, a long whip appeared, and she landed in front of the charging giant python.

Seeing that she rushed out so fast it made his eyes dizzy, Li Yu suddenly realized what was going on.

Why did I feel that her temperament had changed when I saw her at the supply point before? She seemed to have gained a more captivating charm.

Why are top experts like Zhao Wu treating her so politely?

Li Yu had previously thought that she was popular and respected among the crowd.

Now I understand, it was Tang Burou who broke through.

She has advanced to the peak of the Spore Stage.

No wonder she was able to organize so many people to set off for Lingxu City today.

With a top-tier expert leading the team, their safety along the way was guaranteed.

She is the absolute core of this team.

The giant python raised its tail high, and the giant mushroom of death, carrying a terrifying stench and a shockwave, slammed down from the air with overwhelming power.

This is a C-rank elite beast, a terrifying existence said to be comparable to a peak powerhouse.

Without stopping, Tang Burou suddenly swayed to the left.

With a loud "boom," the giant mushroom of death missed its target and slammed heavily into the ground, instantly cracking the ground with countless fissures.

Her right hand whip suddenly swelled up, like a bolt of lightning.

With a loud "bang," as if a bomb had exploded, the giant death python let out a sharp hiss, and a huge bloody hole was blasted into the giant death mushroom at its tail.

The whip moved nimbly like a snake, coiling around the blasted python's tail. With a tug from the whip, Tang Burou soared into the air like a swift bird.

Li Yu narrowed his eyes, raised his head slightly, and gripped the Heavenly Wolf Blade in his right hand, ready to strike at any moment.

However, he knew in his heart that Tang Burou had truly broken through to the peak of existence and probably no longer needed his help.

Using her long whip, Tang Burou soared into the air above the head of the giant death python. With a flick of her left hand, flames rose and condensed in her hand into a flaming javelin.

With a hiss, she hurled the flaming javelin, its trail of dazzling fire striking precisely the massive head of the Death Serpent.
