This gave her hope of reaching the pinnacle of evolution.

Indeed, the only way to grow and evolve faster is through constant battles.

这一次，众人在这些鬼菌兽的尸体上收穫了9枚共生菌、1枚灵芝菌、2枚血纹蘑、1枚醒神菌、1枚爆炸菇。

Li Yu glanced at Zhou Xigang, about to speak, when suddenly footsteps came from the distant mist, followed by a dozen or so people emerging.

Looking at the clothes these people wore, some in ordinary clothes and others in leather armor and knee pads, all covered in blood and mold, Li Yu realized that they were all people who had entered Lingxu City at the same time as him.

But these people were all unfamiliar faces; they must have come from other supply depots.

The dozen or so people also saw the five of them, and even more so, they saw the swarms of Ghost Fungus Rabbit corpses lying on the ground around them.

Then they quickly ran to the other side. Suddenly, someone shouted, and a swarm of ghost fungus rabbits emerged from the mist in the distance.

The dozen or so people rushed forward and began fighting the ghost fungus rabbits.

Li Yu understood immediately after observing the actions of these people. Among these dozen or so individuals, there were two peak experts, and the rest were all top-tier Spore Stage cultivators.

"More than a thousand people entered Lingxu City from the ten supply points this time, and it is estimated that the vast majority of them have now entered the Ancient Wood Ghost Forest."

Li Yu knew that this was the edge of the Ancient Ghost Forest, and that if he went further in, he might encounter more people.

Zhou Xigang, who had been sitting on the ground, stood up and looked at the dozen or so people fighting with a group of ghost fungus rabbits in the distance. Among them, a man and a woman were exceptionally strong and invincible, clearly peak experts.

"Let's go, we can't fall behind." Zhou Xigang originally wanted to rest, but seeing others working hard to hunt ghost fungus rabbits gave him a surge of energy, and he wanted to continue.

No one objected, and they continued forward along the mushroom forest. Just as Li Yu had guessed, they soon encountered another group of people.

There were more than a dozen people in this group, and they were sitting together resting. Many ghost fungus rabbit corpses were lying haphazardly on the ground around them.

Following this mushroom forest forward, there is a long slope. Below the slope, the ground is scattered with a large number of animal bones and human skeletons. All that can be seen are various white skeletons.

Enveloped in a thin mist, ancient trees could be vaguely seen emerging at the edge of the fog. These trees had twisted and strange shapes, and from a distance, they looked like terrifying and bizarre giant beasts.

At this moment, a large group of people are gathered on this slope.

These people were gathered in groups of a dozen or so, or as many as twenty or thirty, scattered among the white skeletons scattered on the ground, numbering at least one or two hundred.

Ahead of them, among those ancient, towering trees, was a dense, dark mass of ghost fungus rabbits.

Further away, the fog surged, and no one knew how many ghost fungus rabbits were hidden in the fog behind. Even with Li Yu's eyesight, he could only vaguely see huge black shadows resembling city walls behind these ancient trees.

It seemed that the swarm of ghost fungus rabbits were guarding the huge black shadow behind them.

Seeing so many people suddenly surprised Li Yu and the other four.

"So many people have gathered here?" Zhou Xigang murmured softly.

Lin Muying frowned slightly and said, "It seems that it won't be easy to get through ahead." She guessed that the one or two hundred people must have been blocked here.

According to Bai Xiuluo, there may be opportunities hidden in the six dangerous areas surrounding Lingxu City, but to obtain these opportunities, one not only needs great luck, but also the strength to enter the truly dangerous areas.

According to the map, the area they have arrived at is only the edge of the Ancient Ghost Forest, and they have not actually entered the Ancient Ghost Forest.

"Li Yu!" Suddenly, a somewhat delicate voice came from afar.

Li Yu looked in the direction of the sound and saw that among the group of people who were sitting and resting, a robust woman stood up and waved to him.

Although the woman was robust, she had a baby face; she was Bai Yan.

Beside Bai Yan were Ma Tao, whom Li Yu was familiar with; Song Ze, who had messy hair; and Lu Wei, whom Li Yu didn't know well but who left a deep impression on her.

Because Lu Wei is deaf and mute, but very strong, he was at least half the credit for the group's ability to kill the Mother of the Fungal Spiders.

These four are all peak-level experts in the Spore Stage.

Besides the four of them, there were eleven other people around them. Li Yu recognized them somewhat. Although he didn't know their names, they should all be teammates who came to Lingxu City at the same time.

Li Yu led Fang Mingxuan and the other three over there.

Ma Tao smiled and nodded at Li Yu, saying, "You guys are here too? How come there are only a few of you? It has to be you, I admire you."

.

More than a thousand of them left the city yesterday, and the vast majority of them entered the Ancient Wood Ghost Forest. Although the Ancient Wood Ghost Forest is known as the safest of the six dangerous areas, it is still fraught with danger for everyone, since even the weakest of them are C-level elite beasts.

Therefore, most people came in groups, with at least a few top experts leading the way, and the groups numbering no less than ten people, and sometimes as many as twenty or thirty.

This was the first time they had ever seen a team of only five people like Li Yu dare to venture into the Ancient Ghost Forest.

Li Yu greeted Bai Yan and Ma Tao with a smile, saying, "Why are you all resting here?"

Bai Yan shook her head and said, "There's nothing we can do. We've tried to break through several times already, but those Ghost Fungus Rabbits ahead seem endless, and there are even more powerful rare beasts lurking in the depths. We simply can't get through."

Ma Tao chuckled and said, "I think this is fine too. It's a good opportunity to practice on these Ghost Fungus Rabbits. Anyway, our goal is to hunt these fungus beasts and strive to break through as soon as possible. We don't necessarily have to rush over."

Bai Yan glanced at him and said, "You really have no ambition. These Ghost Fungus Rabbits are just fungus-like beasts on the edge of the Ancient Ghost Forest. Even if you kill more of them, you won't get any good loot. If you want to obtain opportunities and become stronger, you have to venture into the depths of the Ghost Forest. It is said that great opportunities are hidden there."

She licked her lips as she spoke, a look of longing in her eyes.

Although she hadn't read the book that detailed the Ancient Ghost Forest and didn't know about the legendary mysterious fungus, she did know that the map had mentioned that a great opportunity was hidden in this Ancient Ghost Forest.

Ma Tao smiled wryly and said, "Although there is a great opportunity, such opportunities are mostly obtained by those who are destined to receive them. Besides, we also need to have the ability to break in."

Although he had reached the peak of the Spore Stage, his strength was only at the mid-level among top experts. There were too many people stronger than him, so he had no interest in this so-called legendary great opportunity.

He knew that his talent was not particularly outstanding, and his only thought was to advance and break through to the Spore Stage as soon as possible, so as to become a true resident of Lingxu City before the next bacterial calamity.

Bai Yan, however, thought differently. Her eyes gleamed, concealing ambition.

She was willing to risk her life and fight to the death. Since she knew that this ancient forest might hold a great opportunity, she naturally wanted to fight for it.

Song Jiangze scratched his messy hair and said, "In another day or two, there will definitely be another batch of people breaking through to the peak. Once there are more and more people at the peak, it won't be difficult to break through."

Just as he finished speaking, Li Yu noticed that a group of twenty or thirty people who had been resting not far away suddenly stood up. Then, several of them gave a low shout, and the group rushed forward.

Li Yu saw that the four people in the lead were moving very fast, and were clearly all peak experts.

They led a group of people and charged into the swarms of ghost fungus rabbits in the distance.

With these people taking the lead, many resting groups soon stood up and followed them, rushing forward.

Bai Yan's eyes lit up as she said, "Li Yu, how about we charge in together?"

She understood that among the top experts, Li Yu's strength was no less than her own.

Li Yu nodded and said, "Okay."

He also wanted to try. The great opportunity described on the map might be the fungal vessel. Although he didn't know what the fungal vessel was, judging from the description, it must be some kind of treasure. To obtain the fungal vessel, the first step was to enter the real Ancient Tree Ghost Forest.

One after another, people rushed forward, and various sounds of fighting rang out in the distance. The dark mass of ghost fungus rabbits surged like a tide, blocking the crowd.

Seeing that Li Yu agreed, Bai Yan let out a delicate shout and rushed off into the distance.

Song Ze followed closely behind, and Lu Wei, who couldn't speak, swayed and followed closely behind Bai Yan.

Li Yu whispered to Lin Muying and the others, "Stay with me, don't get separated."

Then they rushed up as well.

Lin Muying, Fang Mingxuan, Qian Lili, and Zhou Xigang followed closely behind.

More and more people rushed forward from all sides.

Li Yu led four people, following Bai Yan's group, avoiding the white skeletons scattered on the ground, and quickly rushed dozens of meters into the ancient trees.

Swarms of ghost fungus rabbits hissed and howled, and a series of huge explosions echoed in the air.

These ghost fungus rabbits will self-destruct before they die, but fortunately everyone knows they have this ability, so they are not affected by the explosion.

Bai Yan was like a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex, her muscles bulging, stretching her clothes tightly to her body. Her skin was made of steel, and she threw heavy steel punches at the Ghost Fungus Rabbit.

Her natal fungus, "Steel Fungus," has evolved to its peak level. Its steel skin provides increasingly stronger defense, and it can even withstand the self-destruction of the Ghost Fungus Rabbit without flinching.

Among these people, she was the only one who relied solely on her physical strength to withstand the self-destruction of the Ghost Fungus Rabbit.

Among these people, the leaders were all peak Spore Stage experts, and they quickly charged into the swarms of Ghost Fungus Rabbits. Li Yu and his group of five also quickly charged in.

Li Yu vaguely heard a huge explosion coming from the distance to his right. His heart stirred slightly, realizing that besides the one or two hundred people he had just seen, there must be other teams fighting and killing each other to his right.

One after another, the Ghost Fungus Rabbits fell down. Li Yu grew stronger with each battle. The Pupil Fungus spores within his body had gradually grown to their limit and were about to break through, beginning their transformation.

This means that he could break through and advance to the peak level of the spore stage at any time.

While hunting these ghost fungus rabbits, Li Yu picked up the spoils that appeared on their corpses. Now, symbiotic bacteria and other spoils were not rare for him; the most important thing was the strengthening crystal core.

After all, the symbiotic bacteria can undergo a fifth enhancement, and each enhancement brings an amazing boost.

His strength is growing stronger and stronger, thanks in no small part to the two symbiotic bacteria that have undergone four enhancements.

Behind these ancient, towering trees, Li Yu finally saw clearly what the enormous, wall-like black shadow was.

It turns out that behind these ancient trees, there are a large number of densely packed giant ancient trees and thick vines, intertwined with each other, and filled with a large number of white skeletons, forming a rare giant wall.

The wall was over ten meters high and stretched into the distance on both sides, hidden in the mist. No one knew how long it was. Countless ghost fungus rabbits guarded the wall and fought with the people who rushed up.

Above the tree wall, a dark mass of countless ghost fungus rabbits climbed out and plunged down like a black tide, endless and continuous.

Li Yu noticed that the fastest rusher had already approached the tree wall.

A group of top-tier experts working together would be difficult for even a swarm of Ghost Fungus Rabbits to withstand.

Suddenly, a roar came from the tree wall, and a giant ghost mushroom rabbit crawled out.

This ghost mushroom rabbit is nearly twice the size of other ghost mushroom rabbits, with a thick body and its whole body covered with reddish-brown velvety ghost mushrooms. The hyphae on its back have hardened into fungal spines, which cover its back and head.

The two ears evolved into two thick fungal tubes, with fist-sized red sporangia hanging from the top, and a huge sclerotium protruding from the abdomen, which flashes red light when it jumps.

The four legs are covered with thick fungal armor, and the edges of the two forelegs extend into sickle-shaped fungal blades. The surface faintly glows with a reddish light and can extend and retract freely.

"Ghost Blade Rabbit Mother, this is a C-rank rare beast. Everyone be careful of the ghost blades hidden in its two forelimbs!"

Li Yu heard Bai Yan in front of him shout. She had obviously fused with the encyclopedia bacteria and immediately knew the information about the fungal beast that appeared from the tree wall.

Li Yu took a deep breath. Besides the Mother of Fungal Spiders, he finally saw the second type of C-level rare beast.

C-grade rare beasts are said to possess strength surpassing that of peak Spore Stage experts. Even ordinary peak experts are no match for them; it would take at least several peak experts working together to possibly withstand or kill a single C-grade rare beast.

The sudden appearance of the Ghost Blade Rabbit Mother prompted several top-tier experts who had fused with the Illustrated Compendium to repeatedly remind their companions, as not everyone has the ability to purchase and fuse with the Illustrated Compendium.

Those who rushed to the base of the tree wall knew that the Ghost Blade Rabbit Mother that appeared on the tree wall was a C-level rare beast, and they were all terrified. Some of the top-level spore stage cultivators immediately showed signs of retreating.

Almost simultaneously, the female Ghost Blade Rabbit and a group of Ghost Fungus Rabbits leaped down. Li Yu saw the few peak experts who rushed forward the fastest shout and swarmed forward, immediately blocking the female Ghost Blade Rabbit.

These were top-tier experts from other supply points. Li Yu didn't recognize any of them, but he could tell that one of them was extremely powerful, at least no weaker than Hei Longxuan or Yi Han.

The female Ghost Blade Rabbit stood upright, its massive body resembling a giant bear. Two sharp ghost blades sprang out from the edges of its two front legs, flashing two pale white streaks in the air.

A peak expert roared, his spear vibrated, and he was struck by one of the ghost blades, which sent him flying, spear and all.

His face showed a look of horror; this Ghost Blade Rabbit Mother was truly terrifying.

Several other top-tier experts joined forces to block one of the Ghost Blade Rabbit Mothers.

Another screech rang out, and a second Ghost Blade Rabbit Mother appeared on the tree wall.

It leaped into the air, and two ghost blades shot out with lightning speed. The maximum attack range of these two ghost blades could reach an astonishing several meters away.
