The world enters the fungal world

Chapter 169 Large Crystal Core (Thanks to ricky007 for the donation)

At the same moment, a light appeared in his right eye, which suddenly locked onto the Mother of Fungi Spiders, and the Pupil Fungus's third ability, "Eye of Weakness," was activated.

Each use of "Eye of Weakness" requires a 30-second interval and requires locking onto and hitting an enemy to take effect. Therefore, Li Yu rarely uses it rashly unless it is a critical moment. Only now, when he has enough confidence, has he activated it.

With a "hiss," the spider's barbs hooked onto his chest, the tips piercing his skin and flesh, and the hook was about to burrow into his abdomen.

At the same moment, the "Eye of Weakness" took effect, slightly slowing down the speed of the spider's barbed legs. Li Yu's outstretched hands had already tightly grasped the spider's legs, and with the help of these horizontally hooked spider legs, his body hung on the spider's legs and flew horizontally.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Even the mighty Mother Spider had no time to react. She never imagined that someone would dare to grab her spider legs with both hands and fly up by slashing her spider legs horizontally.

In its weakened state, its reaction was noticeably slower. By the time it reacted, Li Yu had already released his grip on the spider's legs and flew into the air onto its fungal armor.

No matter how powerful the Mother of Fungal Spiders is, or how terrifying her spider legs are, she cannot reverse her spider legs to attack the fungal armor on her own back.

Its six spider legs suddenly pushed off the ground, and it leaped up, seemingly trying to use its body armor to collide with Li Yu, who was jumping on its back.

The Death Mushroom Umbrella appeared in Li Yu's left hand. He clasped his hands together, and the umbrella retracted, transforming into a short spear. In that instant, all the Yin Dog power within his body seemed to concentrate into this short spear, which he then thrust downwards.

The mother of the fungal spider moved upwards, while the short spear moved downwards. The two forces combined, and with a hiss, the short spear pierced through the hard fungal armor covering her back and disappeared completely inside.

Li Yu's right eye was slightly narrowed, with a faint light appearing within it. His Eye of Truth and Illusion had already locked onto the flame deep inside the belly of the Mother of Fungi Spiders.

The short spear that the mushroom umbrella had transformed into pierced through the abdomen and accurately struck the ball of flames within.

The mad mother spider suddenly froze, her six powerful spider legs stretched straight out, then contracted and trembled, causing her enormous body, which had been leaping up, to crash heavily to the ground.

Li Yu rolled off its back and casually pulled out its dead mushroom spear.

A faint flame emanated from the pulled-out spear.

The extremely powerful C-rank rare beast, the Mother of Fungal Spiders, suddenly died.

Hei Longxuan, heavily injured and thrown to the ground, clutched his torn chest, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He was attacked again and suffered a sudden counterattack from the Mother Spider's spider legs, forcing him to retreat wounded.

Li Yu actually dared to take this opportunity to jump onto the back of the Mother Spider and deliver a fatal blow.

"How is this possible? This guy's gone mad!"

The thought popped into Heilongxuan's mind. If it were him, he would never have been able to do something so crazy and extremely risky in that instant.

The swarming Skull-Splittering Eagle Spiders suddenly went berserk, roaring and howling wildly. They charged at the Mother Fungus Spider recklessly, not to avenge her, but to desperately fight and tear apart her corpse.

Li Yu saw a crystal-clear core suddenly appear on the corpse of the dead Mother of Fungal Spiders. It looked like an enhancement core, but it was a size larger than a normal enhancement core.

Without a second thought, Li Yu immediately picked it up without hesitation.

Immediately following was the berserk Skull-Splittering Eagle Spider charging forward; its frenzied appearance forced even Li Yu to retreat.

"Run!" Li Yu shouted. Taking advantage of the opportunity when these Skull-Splitting Eagle Spiders were frantically rushing towards the corpse of the Mother of Fungi Spiders, it was the best time for them to escape.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome if these skull-splitting eagle spiders reacted and completely surrounded them.

Li Yu knew he was nearing his limit; if he didn't escape soon, he would be in deep trouble.

With a loud shout, he grabbed Lin Muying and rushed forward at full speed.

The others who were still able to move rushed off at full speed into the distance upon hearing Li Yu's roar.

Hei Longxuan was severely injured, but at this moment he could only unleash the last of his body's potential and desperately flee into the distance.

He also knew that the number of these Skull-Splittering Eagle Spiders was virtually endless. They had not dispersed because of the death of the Mother Fungus Spider, but had become even more frenzied.

He recalled the records he had seen about the fungal beasts. If these skull-splitting eagle spiders could eat the corpse of the fungal spider mother and absorb its essence, they might have a chance to evolve and mutate into a new fungal spider mother.

That's why they went so crazy when they saw the mother spider die.

Who wouldn't want to evolve into something stronger?

If we stay here, and a Skullspider actually manages to evolve after eating the corpse of the Mother Fungus Spider, then we're doomed.

This time, all the Skull-Splitter Eagle Spiders identified themselves as the Mother of Fungal Spiders, and thus they couldn't bother to stop or attack them.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yu noticed the enhancement crystal cores on the corpse on the ground and quickly picked them up.

He knew this opportunity was fleeting; once the corpse of the Mother of Fungal Spiders was completely torn apart and devoured by the Skull-Splittering Eagle Spiders, they would realize what was happening and come back to attack them again.

You only have two or three seconds to pick up the enhancement crystal core.

Li Yu activated his Eye of Truth and Illusion, instantly capturing the enhanced crystal cores that had appeared beside the corpses, and then shot towards them at top speed.

He was still in "super-capture" mode, possessing the fastest speed among them. In just a few seconds, he picked up a large number of enhancement crystals and then rushed madly into the distance.

There were others who shared similar thoughts, all of whom were top-tier experts like Yi Han, Tang Burou, Hao Tie, and Zhao Wu.

Only they possess the strength and speed to manage to pick up a few enhancement crystals they happen to see while escaping.

They don't have Li Yu's "Eye of Truth and Delusion," so they can't scan the exact location of all the enhanced crystal cores in an instant and can pick them up in a flash without wasting any time.

Aside from the enhanced crystal core, they rejected all other spoils such as symbiotic bacteria, as these items were far less cost-effective than the enhanced crystal core and a waste of time.

As for others, even top-tier experts dare not pick them up, for fear that picking up the enhancement crystal core would waste time, cause them to be blocked by the Skull-Splitting Eagle Spider, and cost them their lives.

No one wants to risk their life to pick up a strengthening crystal core or some other loot.

These skull-splitting eagle spiders tore the corpse of the Mother Fungus Spider to shreds in an instant and devoured it.

Seeing that the corpse of the Mother Fungus Spider was no longer there, the remaining swarm of Skullspider Spiders, in their disappointment, began to react, emitting terrifying sounds as they attacked the group again.

At this moment, the group had completely broken out of their encirclement and were fleeing frantically into the distance.

The swarm of Skull-Splittering Eagle Spiders turned around and chased after them. The number of Skull-Splittering Eagle Spiders now appearing on both sides of the road is at least more than 150.

No one dared to linger; they could only flee frantically, running for two or three kilometers before finally shaking off the pursuing Skull-Splitter Spiders.

These skull-splitter eagle spiders have a strong sense of territory and only move within a designated area of ​​their own territory; they will not leave this area at will.

After Li Yu and the others escaped the area, the animals slowed down and eventually stopped, ceasing their pursuit.

When they could no longer see any more Skull-Splittering Eagle Spiders, the group finally stopped.

In this short period of time, Li Yu collected a total of 14 enhancement crystal cores, which, combined with the 5 he already had, brought his total to 19 enhancement crystal cores.

In addition, there was a large crystal core that appeared from the corpse of the Mother of Fungi Spiders.

After collecting the enhancement crystal cores, Li Yu quickly took out a Mind-Awakening Fungus and a Ganoderma lucidum, ate them, and then collapsed to the ground.

Just as he had guessed, as the Yin power and the super-state capture disappeared, his body reacted violently, and this time the side effects were stronger than before.

Hei Longxuan took out a Blood-Veined Mushroom, crushed it, and applied it to the wound on his chest. Then, he lay down, closed his eyes, and looked pale and terrible, even somewhat dejected.

Originally, he was unconvinced by Li Yu, believing that Li Yu's ability to break off the pair of white horns on the white horn's head was mostly due to luck.

However, in their recent experience, the two of them faced almost the exact same situation, but reacted completely differently. One of them thought of retreating and dodging, but ended up getting injured and falling.

However, Li Yu was able to seize this opportunity and turn the tide from adversity.

This was a huge blow to Hei Longxuan. No matter how much he didn't want to admit it, he had to realize from the bottom of his heart that Li Yu's ability to adapt to the enemy was superior to his own.

Tang Burou looked around, counted the number of people, and her face turned very ugly.

Of the original 57 people, only 39 have survived and escaped to this place.

This time, a total of 18 people were lost, including Sun Haocheng, one of the eight peak experts.

Of the 12 advanced spore-stage individuals, half have died. Only Lin Muying, Qian Lili, Zhou Xigang, and three other advanced spore-stage individuals remain alive.

Without Li Yu's constant protection of Lin Muying and the other two, they would have died long ago when the Mother of Fungal Spiders charged towards the front of the group.

Eleven of the top experts have died, leaving 26 remaining.

Li Yu felt the changes in his body; the growth and evolution speed of the pupil fungus spores in the past two days was astonishing.

To advance from the top level to the peak, the spore's size needs to double again.

Li Yu secretly observed the growth of the spores. In just the past two days, the spores had grown to half the size required to break through the doubling requirement.

This means that as long as he can maintain this growth rate, he will be able to break through to the top level and advance to the peak of the spore stage in another two days.

This growth rate is simply astonishing; if word got out, it would cause a sensation.

After a long while, Li Yu slowly digested the stimulant bacteria, and the original splitting headache gradually subsided.

However, he still felt dizzy and weak, and his hands and feet felt limp.

The aftereffects this time were too severe; even after resting for so long, I haven't recovered.

They fought their way through hordes of Skull-Splittering Eagle Spiders before finally killing the Mother Fungus Spider in a fierce battle.

The prolonged use of Yin power and the super-state capture placed a severe burden on Li Yu's body and mind.

Everyone else had largely recovered their energy and spirit, but Li Yu remained listless and dispirited.

Barely mustering his strength, he took out the enhancement crystal core he had obtained from the Mother of Fungal Spiders. Judging from its appearance, it was the same as the enhancement crystal core, only a size larger, which seemed to indicate that it was a very special enhancement crystal core.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yu grasped the enhanced crystal core in his right hand and tried to fuse it into the Sirius fungus.

Soon, countless hyphae appeared on the surface of the enhanced crystal core, extending into his right hand and merging with the Sirius fungus within.
