The world enters the fungal world

Chapter 201 A Complete Transformation (Thanks to ricky007 for the donation)

The Ghost Blade can be launched in an instant, controlled by mycelium connected to it, and can also retract into the body in a flash, making it extremely elusive and difficult to defend against.

One of the top-tier spore-stage spores failed to dodge, only to have his upper body split open in a flash, his head and half of his body falling to the ground.

Its body was sliced ​​open diagonally by the ghost blade that was launched at it.

Those around them, witnessing this, felt a chill run down their spines.

Bai Yan rushed forward without hesitation.

Lu Wei, who was right behind her, raised her hands and suddenly flung her arms out like mud, instantly sticking to the falling Ghost Blade Rabbit Mother.

Ghost Blade Rabbit Mother was stuck in the mud, as if she were trapped in a quagmire, and her movement speed was significantly reduced.

Bai Yan seized the opportunity and launched a powerful, all-out attack.

Two more female Ghost Blade Rabbits appeared on the tree wall, leaping down and charging into the crowd, immediately followed by screams of agony.

Li Yu finally understood why these one or two hundred people were stuck here, unable to break through the tree wall and enter the real ancient ghost forest.

The reason is that there are countless Ghost Blade Rabbit Mothers hidden within this tree wall. Once they get close to the tree wall, it will trigger these Ghost Blade Rabbit Mothers to launch an attack.

With a terrifying shriek, one of the Ghost Blade Rabbit mothers landed not far from Li Yu.

Without hesitation, Li Yu activated his Yin power and "Superhuman Capture". Facing the Ghost Blade Rabbit Mother, who was said to surpass the peak power, he dared not be careless and instantly went into his strongest state.

Now, with the successful enhancement of the Dead Mushroom four times, he has improved even more than when he killed the Mother of the Fungus Spider.

Feeling the increased power and speed of the Yin Dog within his body, coupled with the doubled speed of "Superhuman Capture," everything around him seemed to suddenly slow down, and everyone's speed was decreasing.

With a flick of his left hand, the Death Mushroom appeared, and he unleashed the fungal skill "Giant Death Mushroom," smashing it through the air.

The Death Mushroom Umbrella, enhanced four times, can attack up to eight meters away. With its two canopies rotating in an interlocking manner, the "Giant Death Mushroom" has fused with the power of Yin, making its power unimaginable.

Sensing danger, the Ghost Blade Rabbit Mother that had just jumped down stood upright, extended its two forelimbs, and simultaneously activated the fungal technique "Ghost Blade Whirlwind Dance," with its two ghost blades spinning in an alternating pattern to directly confront the "Death Giant Mushroom."

With a deafening roar, the unfurled Mushroom of Death smashed away the whirling Ghost Blade, but Ghost Blade Rabbit Mother successfully blocked the incoming Mushroom of Death using "Ghost Blade Whirlwind Dance".

Li Yu was only a fraction of a second slower than the flying Mushroom Umbrella. His right hand swung down with the Heavenly Wolf Greatsword, sweeping horizontally.

The Ghost Blade Rabbit Mother was not much slower than him. At the same time that Ghost Blade was smashed away, its pair of hind legs suddenly sprang up. Its jumping power was amazing. With this jump, it jumped a full seven or eight meters away. Li Yu's Heavenly Wolf Giant Blade almost grazed its body and cleaved through the air.

A flash of blue-white lightning appeared, and a giant lightning spear suddenly pierced through the air, instantly piercing the leaping Ghost Blade Rabbit Mother amidst a piercing sound.

In order to avoid Li Yu's attack, Ghost Blade Rabbit Mother had already used up all her strength to jump out, but now she could no longer dodge and was pierced through by the lightning spear.

From its open mouth came a sharp shriek, and the lightning spear burst forth from its body, with countless bolts of lightning shooting out in all directions from the spot where it had been shot.

Its enormous body, which had been leaping up, fell heavily to the ground.

Fang Mingxuan's eyes gleamed with a cold light. The lightning spear that had suddenly appeared and been thrown was his masterpiece.

He seized the opportunity precisely and dealt a heavy blow to Ghost Blade Rabbit Mother.

Li Yu opened his right hand, and the Heavenly Wolf Giant Blade flew out of his hand. Using the mycelium to control it, he dragged the Heavenly Wolf Giant Blade and swept it through the air, passing it along the neck of the falling Ghost Blade Rabbit Mother.

The Ghost Blade Rabbit Mother's enormous head, dripping with blood, flew off.

The headless body fell heavily to the ground.

Having successfully killed the Ghost Blade Rabbit Mother, Li Yu turned to look at Fang Mingxuan, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Fang Mingxuan's timing was extremely precise. His lightning spear strike severely injured Ghost Blade Rabbit Mother. This level of skill and strength is beyond that of ordinary Spore Stage experts. Li Yu felt that even some ordinary peak experts were no more than this.

Fang Mingxuan was resurrected and, after obtaining that mysterious silver-purple light, his entire being was transformed.

In the next instant, Fang Mingxuan activated "Electric Shock Technique," relying on amplification to increase the power of his attack. With a fierce strike, he cleaved a Ghost Fungus Rabbit into a charred mess, causing it to self-destruct.

Then, he picked up an enhancement crystal core from the corpse and integrated it into his amplification bacteria.

This amplifying bacterium is a very rare type of auxiliary symbiotic bacterium. As it is continuously strengthened, the amplification of its attacks will become increasingly greater. When strengthened to a certain extent, its power will be unimaginable.

Li Yu saw a symbiotic bacterium, a primary enhancement crystal core, and an awakening bacterium on the corpse of the slain Ghost Blade Rabbit Mother, and quickly picked them up.

In a short period of time, he acquired five primary enhancement crystal cores.

The other Ghost Blade Rabbit Mother has been blocked by several top experts from another team.

A sharp screech rang out, and Li Yu turned his head to look, only to see that Bai Yan had successfully killed a Ghost Blade Rabbit mother.

Of course, Lu Wei deserves at least half of the credit for this.

Two top-tier experts began climbing up the tree wall, trying to reach the top.

Suddenly, above them, another female Ghost Blade Rabbit appeared on the tree wall.

Ghost Blade Rabbit Mother unleashed "Ghost Blade Whirlwind Dance," and two ghost blades, accompanied by a whistling sound, slashed down towards them.

These two top experts had no choice but to retreat.

More and more people rushed up behind them, and almost all of the one or two hundred people who were originally scattered around joined the battle.

Among these one or two hundred people, at least thirty are at the peak of the Spore Stage.

As the fighting continues, this number is slowly increasing.

After all, many top-tier spore-stage individuals were stuck on the verge of breaking through. In the past day or two, they had been continuously hunting these ghost fungus rabbits, and their growth rate was astonishing. Among them, at least three peak experts had successfully broken through in the past day or two.

However, more and more female Ghost Blade Rabbits appeared on the tree wall. Li Yu looked up and saw that in a short period of time, the number of female Ghost Blade Rabbits above exceeded ten.

They let out sharp screechs and leaped down, unleashing the powerful "Ghost Blade Whirlwind Dance" as they plunged into the crowd.

People were injured and even killed from time to time. Even with more than thirty top experts, they could not stop so many Ghost Blade Rabbit Mothers.

After all, most of them at the peak of the spore stage are of average strength, and only a few peak experts can truly threaten the Ghost Blade Rabbit Mother.

Li Yu had just blocked one Ghost Blade Rabbit Mother when he suddenly noticed another Ghost Blade Rabbit Mother charging towards him, forcing him to retreat.

He needs to go all out to kill even one Ghost Blade Rabbit Mother, and he's not entirely sure if he can kill it, let alone facing two Ghost Blade Rabbit Mothers at the same time.

The one or two hundred people who had initially charged forward all retreated.

They quickly retreated back into the vast expanse of towering trees.

As they retreated back up the slope, the Ghost Knife Rabbit Mother and Ghost Fungus Rabbit ceased their pursuit; their mission seemed to be merely to guard the tree wall and prevent any living creature from entering.

In this battle, many were injured, but the number of actual deaths was not many, no more than five. Many top-tier spore-stage cultivators watched their companions die, filled with fear and understanding of the danger, but forced by circumstances, they had no choice but to fight desperately.

If they cannot break through the spore stage before the next fungal outbreak, they will die.

The only chance to survive is to fight desperately and grow and evolve in every way possible.

In this dangerous situation, although extremely perilous, the growth and evolution speed of the spores within their bodies will also increase significantly.

Li Yu and his group of five also retreated along with Bai Yan and the others.

Bai Yan successfully killed one of the Ghost Blade Rabbit Mothers. Of the dozen or so Ghost Blade Rabbit Mothers that appeared, four people were actually killed by them. Bai Yan killed one, Li Yu killed one, and the other two were killed by peak experts from other supply points.

Those two were no less powerful than Bai Yan; they were true powerhouses at the peak of the Spore Stage.

Back on the slope to rest, Zhou Xigang was panting heavily. He had just finished his battle and gained three primary enhancement crystal cores.

He fused the three enhancement crystal cores into the "Swift Shadow Fungus" in his right foot, and then extracted the four enhancement crystal cores fused into the Black Locust Fungus and fused them into the Swift Shadow Fungus as well.

With two more primary enhancement crystal cores, his Swift Shadow Bacteria will be able to undergo a third enhancement.

The more Zhou Xigang used Xunying Bacteria, the more he realized its great potential, so he now prioritized strengthening Xunying Bacteria.

Lin Muying found three primary enhancement crystal cores and integrated them all into her Ghost Crow Fungus. Now, her secondary enhancement Ghost Crow Fungus has eight enhancement crystal cores integrated into it. With one more, it can be enhanced three times.

Qian Lili found a strengthening crystal core and incorporated it into the Bone Shadow Bacteria.

Fang Mingxuan found three pieces of amplification bacteria.

During the break, everyone around took out edible fungi and ate them, except for Li Yu and the other four.

The third-grade edible fungus, *Gynostemma pentaphyllum*, that they consumed was enough to sustain them for many days without requiring additional nutrition or energy.

In the distance, new groups occasionally emerge from the mist, and the number of people gathered here is gradually increasing.

By the afternoon, the group gathered there had grown to about three hundred people.

Over the course of the day, the group launched several more attacks.

Each charge saw them successfully reach the base of the tree wall, but they were ultimately defeated and forced to retreat when faced with more than a dozen Ghost Blade Rabbit Mothers.

Li Yu was able to kill one Ghost Blade Rabbit Mother each time, but unfortunately he was powerless to do anything more than that. In particular, when two Ghost Blade Rabbit Mothers appeared together, he was powerless to fight them and had to retreat.

The sky around them gradually darkened, and they had been trapped outside the tree wall for a whole day.

Although the group failed to break through the tree wall that day, most of them gained a lot. Bi Yin found many spoils on the corpses of the ghost fungus rabbits, and the one that improved the group the most was undoubtedly the enhancement crystal core.

Li Yu received one intermediate-level enhancement crystal core and 12 basic-level enhancement crystal cores, bringing his total number of basic-level enhancement crystal cores to 17.

There were also two stimulating mushrooms, three Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms, three blood-striped mushrooms, and eight exploding mushrooms.

He now possesses a total of 20 Awakening Mushrooms, 8 Ganoderma lucidum Mushrooms, 13 Blood-Striped Mushrooms, and 10 Exploding Mushrooms.

The number of symbiotic bacteria that appeared was even greater, but the backpack capacity was limited, so everyone had to be selective. Many of the least valuable defensive symbiotic bacteria were thrown away, leaving only the relatively valuable weapon symbiotic bacteria.
