The world enters the fungal world

Chapter 151 The Burial of Flowers and the Corpse Beast (Thanks to reader 738 for the donation)

Suddenly, a strange "creaking" sound came from the fog ahead. At first, there were only one or two sounds, but soon the sound rose and fell, dense and numerous, and the strange sound came from all around the fog.

The man in the white trench coat leading the group suddenly stopped.

The forty or fifty people following him stopped when they saw him stop.

Tang Burou, who was about 20 or 30 meters away from their group, also raised her right hand, signaling the group to stop.

Many people brandished their weapons, their faces showing vigilance, and looked toward the mist from which strange sounds were coming from both sides.

Li Yu saw that in the surging fog in the distance, with a series of creaking sounds, a large number of humanoid black shadows emerged from the fog. At a glance, there were at least one or two hundred of these humanoid black shadows.

These moving, humanoid shadows started slowly but quickly picked up speed, emerging from the desolate graveyards on both sides and rushing towards the group.

As the humanoid shadows approached, Li Yu, with his sharp eyes, finally saw clearly what these humanoid shadows that rushed out of the black mist were.

These humanoid shadowy figures were about two meters tall and looked like humanoid rotting skeletons. Their muscles were grayish-black and rotten, and between these muscles, clumps of dark red fungal shells had formed. Fluorescent green pus seeped from between the fungal shells and the black, rotten muscles.

Blood-red fleshy flowers grew on the top of the head, shoulders, back, and joints, with dark red fungal veins on the petals and a faint blood-red glow in the stamens.

The ends of their limbs transform into hyphae and tentacles, flower-like thorns grow from their fingertips, and caps that can close grow from their eye sockets. They have no pupils inside, but extend a large number of hyphae, which seem to perceive everything around them.

They move very quickly, and their joints make strange "creaking" sounds as they move.

Li Yu immediately thought of the booklet containing information about them.

The Burial Flower Corpse Beast is a C-rank fungal beast. It is said that a large number of spider lilies will grow where they appear. Its fungal skill is "Tentacles Entanglement". Its four limbs and tentacles can shoot out tentacles to bind the target. These tentacles are covered with fungal spines that can easily tear the target's flesh and body.

A single C-grade fungal beast is not scary; what is scary is that in the blink of an eye, one or two hundred Burial Flower Corpse Beasts suddenly appeared in the desolate graveyards on both sides.

They surrounded them from both sides, and with a series of creaking sounds, they pounced on them frantically.

Everyone's expression changed.

Hidden in the unseen black mist ahead were countless Burial Flower Corpse Beasts. Li Yu heard angry shouts and fierce howls coming from ahead, and the fastest Burial Flower Corpse Beasts were already fighting with the people in front.

Immediately afterwards, at a distance of twenty or thirty meters, Li Yu and Tang Burou's group were also attacked.

These flower-burying corpse beasts rushed out from both sides, and Tang Burou was the first to make a move.

Along the way, she didn't take action against ordinary C-rank beasts, leaving them to be dealt with by the others. She only personally dealt with elite C-rank beasts.

But now there were too many C-class beasts appearing, and she knew the situation was bad, so she instantly dashed away without hesitation.

The speed of the peak expert far exceeded that of these Burial Flower Corpse Beasts. His right hand whip lashed out like a poisonous dragon. With a crisp "crack", the Burial Flower Corpse Beast that charged forward was struck by the whip. Instantly, its head and chest exploded together, and its upper body shattered.

"Kill!" Zhao Wu roared, swinging his rock spear and sweeping it horizontally, striking the waist of a Burial Flower Corpse Beast that was trying to approach. The powerful force broke the waist of the Burial Flower Corpse Beast, and its body, which was split in two, was thrown away.

Li Yu, Fang Qinian, Lin Mao, Fang Bo, Meng Suqing, Han Zichuan, and other top experts stood guard on both sides of the group, resisting the swarming Burial Flower Corpse Beasts.

The thirty-odd advanced spore-stage beings protected in the middle also took action. Although they dared not rush out to face the enemy head-on, they could launch mid- to long-range attacks to assist the others from behind.

The first wave of a dozen or so Burial Flower Corpse Beasts was instantly killed by them. Then, even more Burial Flower Corpse Beasts surged forward. They activated the fungal skill "Tentacle Entanglement," with a large number of tentacles waving wildly, like venomous pythons.

Li Yu swung his Heavenly Wolf Blade in quick succession, slaying two Burial Flower Corpse Beasts. Looking up into the black mist ahead, he saw countless humanoid shadows swirling within the surging fog, concealing an unknown number of Burial Flower Corpse Beasts.

Li Yu then realized that the one or two hundred Burial Flower Corpse Beasts he had just seen were only the first wave; the number of Burial Flower Corpse Beasts hidden in the black mist was immeasurable.

His heart sank.

No one expected that they would be caught in such a huge crisis shortly after leaving the East District and stepping into this desolate cemetery.

A scream rang out, and casualties appeared in the group of the man in the white trench coat and Fang Ziming and Zhou Chengyuan.

The group of forty or fifty people were surrounded by hordes of Burial Flower Corpse Beasts, numbering over a hundred, with even more appearing from within the black mist.

How could a dozen or so top-tier experts withstand the frenzied onslaught of hundreds of Burial Flower Corpse Beasts?

As the first scream rang out, it was followed by a second desperate roar. Li Yu saw in the distance that someone in the line ahead had their leg entangled by tentacles and was being dragged out of the line.

Then, hordes of the Flower Burial Corpse Beasts surged up and immediately engulfed the man, abruptly ending his desperate roar.

Once the burial flower corpse beasts dispersed, the corpses on the ground disappeared, leaving only pieces of bloody remains, which the burial flower corpse beasts carried in their mouths.

Li Yu saw this and was shocked.

Tang Burou shouted sharply, "Quickly, join them!"

She wanted to step forward and merge the two teams together, so that their combined teams would have nearly a hundred people.

There are at least twenty top-tier experts, which might be enough to stop these Flower Burial Corpse Beasts.

With a shout, Tang Burou flipped her left hand, and a fireball rose up, which she then hurled forward.

A flower-burial beast was hit by a fireball, and flames exploded everywhere, instantly engulfing its body in fiery red flames.

She unleashed the true power of a peak expert, lashing out with her long whip. One after another, the Burial Flower Corpse Beasts fell before her. She carved a bloody path through the enemy lines and led her team forward.

In the lead-up, the man in the white trench coat appeared and disappeared like a ghost among the hordes of Burial Flower Corpse Beasts, and with each appearance, a Burial Flower Corpse Beast died.

Although he was powerful and could charge into the group of rotting flower beasts as if they were nothing, it would be difficult for him to protect the safety of these dozens of people by himself.

As more and more people screamed and died, he seemed to realize something was wrong and began to charge towards Tang Burou.

Clearly, he thought the same as Tang Burou: having suddenly encountered this endless stream of Burial Flower Corpse Beasts, he knew that a single team could not withstand them, and wanted to join forces with Tang Burou and the others.

Li Yu unleashed "Heavenly Wolf Slash," and a dark blue light pierced through the blade. Instantly, two Burial Flower Corpse Beasts that were trying to pounce on Lin Muying beside him were cut in half at the waist.

Immediately afterwards, he heard a scream coming from not far behind him.

Turning his head, he saw a man being entangled by the tentacles of a burial flower corpse beast, who suddenly flung him out of the group.

Immediately, several Burial Flower Corpse Beasts extended their tentacles and wrapped them around the man's head, face, and limbs, then yanked them off violently.

A large amount of blood burst out, and the man's body was torn into many pieces, with his internal organs mixed with blood splattering everywhere.

Finally, there were casualties in their team.

The people around the man saw this and felt a chill in their hearts. Lin Mao was the closest to him.

The man who had just been dragged away was one of his original team members. He saw it all, but it was too late to help.

With a face full of anxiety and anger, Lin Mao roared, his left hand holding a round shield to protect himself, and his right hand thrusting out a saber. With a "whoosh," the saber, covered in a faint white light, instantly slashed into the belly of the oncoming Burial Flower Corpse Beast, and then pulled it out sharply.

A large amount of putrid liquid mixed with rotten flesh flew out, and the burial flower corpse beast was cut in half by his saber.

Without pausing, he suddenly turned and hurled his round shield with his left hand, smashing it down hard on the head of another Burial Flower Corpse Beast beside him.

Just then, a figure flashed before his eyes, and a giant flower-burial corpse beast suddenly squeezed out from the group of flower-burial corpse beasts in front of him and appeared in front of him.

This giant Funeral Flower Corpse Beast is an astonishing 2.5 meters tall, and is twice as thick as the average Funeral Flower Corpse Beast, which is only 2 meters tall.

Its skeleton looks as thick as a pillar, and the decaying flesh on its body surface is covered with fibrous muscle bundles formed by deep red mycelium. Its body surface is covered with blood-red floral armor, and dense hardened mycelium lobes extend from its surface.

A giant, blood-red fleshy flower grew from its chest, almost covering its entire chest. The flower's stamen was a wriggling sclerotium, and a lateral fleshy flower grew from each of its shoulders.

The two arms transform into giant flower stems, with the ends becoming giant claws of fungal flowers. The lower limbs fuse into root feet, spreading out a network of hemoglobin mycelium as they take root in the ground.

It has no face on its head, but has a male crown cap with numerous tendril-like hyphae.

When Lin Mao suddenly saw the giant monster appear in front of him, his heart skipped a beat, and a strong sense of unease surged up. Knowing that something was wrong, his first reaction was to raise his round shield to protect himself and shrink back.

Unfortunately, it was still too late. The giant blood-red flesh flower on the chest of the giant monster in front of them suddenly contracted and then opened again, spewing out a blood-red light.

With a loud "boom," a blood-red light struck Lin Mao, shattering the round shield he used to protect his body into pieces.

He let out a scream as his mouth opened, and a spurt of blood gushed out. His body could not withstand the enormous force and he fell backward.

Hearing the screams, Li Yu turned around abruptly and saw the enormous monster. His heart trembled. He realized that Lin Mao was in danger and wanted to rush over.

Unfortunately, they were too far apart, and there were many people blocking the way. Li Yu wanted to save Lin Mao, but he had to get around the crowd. Even if he was fast, he wouldn't make it in time.

Lin Mao was thrown heavily, surrounded by people. He immediately crashed into two people behind him, and amidst screams, the people collided with each other, bringing him to a stop.
