The world enters the fungal world

Chapter 215 B-Rank Fungal Beast (Thanks to "From Swallowing the Stars" for the donation)

Almost as soon as the two Ghost Walkers were killed from a distance, Li Yu appeared at the spot where the Ghost Walkers had just vanished. He swept the Heavenly Wolf Greatsword in his hand to the left and right, and two more Ghost Walkers vanished in an instant.

Bai Yan and her two companions followed closely behind, but they didn't even manage to kill a single ghost walker. All the ghost walkers that had just appeared were killed by Li Yu alone.

It wasn't until Li Yu killed the eighth Ghost Walker that more than a dozen Ghost Walkers surged out from all around, and they finally rushed out to attack these Ghost Walkers.

Ghost Walkers have ranged attacks, which are fine when there are only a few of them, but once there are many, they launch a barrage of crisscrossing soul beam attacks from a distance, making them impossible to defend against.

This is also why so many top-tier experts discovered that these ghost walkers chose to retreat to the ancient forest.

Li Yu activated the "Eye of Truth and Delusion," which allowed him to detect gaps in the soul light shooting from all directions. His figure moved like lightning through these gaps, and no amount of soul light attacks could harm him.

Nan Muyu and Bai Yan, who followed closely behind, did not have such abilities. They could only dodge most of the soul light attacks, and for the remaining attacks, they could only rely on various defensive methods to withstand them.

The crystal fragments controlled by Nan Muyu could not only condense into a giant sword, but also combine to form a crystal shield. Relying on the crystal shield, she resisted the incoming ghostly blue soul light and leaped forward, closely following Li Yu.

Soon, she let out a shout and slammed her crystal shield down, striking the ghost walker that appeared in front of her.

The ghost walker's body sprouted a large amount of mycelium, blocking it, and suddenly black light appeared on the crystal shield, which exploded into countless crystal fragments.

These fragments shot into the ghost walker's body one by one, tearing it to pieces.

Wu Xiuchun controlled ten fingernails that extended several meters away, their surfaces faintly glowing with a brass luster. These ten fingernails resembled long whips, dancing around him.

Most of the incoming azure soul beams were dodged by him, but some were struck by his fingernails from a distance, shattering them.

A layer of liquid metal appeared on Bai Yan's body surface. This liquid metal, like a serpent, swiftly swam around her steel-like skin, blocking the dark blue soul light that was about to hit her body.

Once she got close to the Ghost Walker, she unleashed both fists, her steel fists exploding outwards, quickly killing the Ghost Walker.

Li Yu led the three of them into the horde of ghost walkers, and the number of ghost walkers moving in from all directions was increasing.

This abandoned village was teeming with wraiths; in a short time, more than a hundred wraiths had gathered in front of them.

Even someone as powerful as Li Yu began to feel the pressure from so many ghost walkers.

Suddenly, he saw a ghost walker that stood out from the crowd of ghost walkers in the distance.

The ghost walker's form had solidified considerably, revealing a complete humanoid torso, no longer a thin mist.

Its entire body was covered with thick, black mycelium that grew outward from within its soul. Several half-meter-long mycelium tendrils grew from its back. The ghostly blue soul fire on its face became increasingly intense, forming a blazing fire. A round soul spore condensed on its chest, constantly emitting smoke.

On the right, a large number of thick black mycelium condensed to form a giant black scythe, which, from a distance, looked like the legendary Grim Reaper descending.

When Li Yu noticed, the information immediately appeared in the illustration in his left eye.

The Undead Walker is a more powerful fungal beast evolved from the Ghost Walker. Its strength has broken through the C-level and reached the B-level. In addition to possessing all the abilities of the Ghost Walker, it can also detonate the Soul Spores in its chest, causing widespread casualties.

Li Yu sensed the data and his heart skipped a beat. He had finally encountered a B-grade bacterium beast.

All the fungal beasts he had encountered before, apart from those super-lifeforms of unknown level, were almost all D-rank.

Grade A or Grade C fungi.

Even the moth queens and deadwood insect queens encountered along the way, which are extremely rare leader-level fungal beasts, are not listed in the data as being of grade C or B.

Li Yu guessed that these two leader beasts might still belong to the category of C-level fungal beasts.

Only the undead walker that appeared in the distance could be considered a true B-grade fungal beast.

In the distance, the undead walker wielding a black scythe floated above a wooden house, slowly surveying the surroundings. As the commotion of Li Yu and his companions grew louder, it was finally drawn in, and its body began to drift toward them.

"Retreat quickly, it's a B-rank beast!" Nan Muyu shouted.

There were simply too many ghost walkers around them, and they were already feeling immense pressure, on the verge of collapse.

If they were to add a B-rank beast whose terrifying strength was immeasurable, they definitely wouldn't be able to stop it.

Without hesitation, Li Yu immediately led them and retreated quickly.

If it were a one-on-one situation, he would like to test just how strong this approaching B-level beast really is, but there are too many ghost walkers around him, especially its ranged attacks. If he is not careful, he might hurt his life essence.

Therefore, Li Yu chose to back down.

During the retreat, they picked up a few enhancement crystal cores that appeared.

The group moved away from the abandoned village, and the ghostly wanderers who had gathered there lost their target and began to slowly disperse.

The undead walker that was about to move over stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then returned to its original position.

From the ancient forest behind, one can hear various sounds of fighting.

Li Yu and his three companions retreated to the area between the ancient forest and the abandoned village, where they rested.

After the fierce battle, they killed a large number of Ghost Walkers. Although they only obtained a few enhancement cores, the effect on their spore stage evolution was far greater than staying in the ancient forest.

After all, the fungal beasts in the ancient forest are no longer a significant threat to them.

"Besides the Ghost Walkers, there are even more powerful Undead Walkers. This is troublesome. Unless we can all break through to the Spore Stage, we'll be stuck here." Nan Muyu said with regret.

Breaking through the spore stage is easier said than done.

Bai Yan's delicate voice rang out: "Everyone says there are great opportunities in this Ancient Wood Ghost Forest, but I didn't expect that you have to break through to the Spore Stage to have any hope of entering."

Li Yu sat down to rest, his eyes slightly closed. He wondered how the strength of this B-grade fungal beast, the Undead Walker, compared to the Moth Queen and the Deadwood Insect Queen he had encountered before.

If their strength is comparable, he can fight them; but if they are much stronger than the Moth Queen and the Deadwood Insect Queen, then even he would find it difficult to match them.

"Fortunately, the undead walker is far from the edge. We only need to hunt these ghost walkers at the edge. If we disturb it, we will retreat immediately." Wu Xiuchun said as he sat down to rest, looking into the distance.

He also felt fear towards B-level beasts.

While the group was resting, people began to appear from the ancient woods behind them and then rested on the spot.

After resting, Li Yu stood up again. Bai Yan, Nan Muyu, and Wu Xiuchun also stood up one after another. They continued to enter the abandoned village to hunt down the wandering ghost travelers in the edge area.

If the undead walkers in the distance are alerted, they will quickly retreat.

On this day, they continued to hunt these ghost walkers in this manner, retreating to rest when they disturbed the undead walkers.

Fang Mingxuan, Lin Muying, Qian Lili, and Zhou Xigang followed a number of top-tier experts and spore-stage cultivators into the ancient forest to hunt shield-armored ghost rats and fungus-armored mountain rats.

After everyone got tired, they also left the ancient forest to rest. Once they were rested, they continued to venture deeper into the ancient forest.

The next day arrived quickly, and Li Yu's biggest gain that day was obtaining a considerable number of enhancement crystals.

He currently possesses 2 intermediate-level enhancement crystal cores and 31 basic-level enhancement crystal cores.

Based on this harvest speed, it won't be long before he can collect enough enhancement crystals for five enhancements of the Dead Mushroom.

Overnight, several more of the two hundred people gathered here have advanced and broken through to the peak stage.

What surprised Li Yu the most was that Fang Mingxuan actually broke through to the top level and advanced to the peak of the spore stage.

His Thunder Mushroom has reached its peak, and the power of his Spore Arc, Electric Shock, and Thunder Spear has been greatly enhanced. He has also mastered the Mushroom Soul Separation Technique, and if he obtains a Mushroom Egg, he can hatch his own Mushroom Soul Beast.

There is only one possibility for Fang Mingxuan's rapid growth: the silver-purple light within his body has played a role.

Li Yu was becoming increasingly curious about the true nature of this silvery-purple light.

It can not only bring people back to life and help them avoid bacterial disasters, but it can also make people grow so quickly.

Unfortunately, he still can't figure out what the true nature of this silver-purple light is, and Fang Mingxuan's words and actions seem quite normal.

Throughout the day, Fang Mingxuan obtained a number of enhancement crystals. Now, the amplification fungus in his right hand has been enhanced four times, and the Nether Flower fungus in his left hand has also been successfully enhanced three times, reaching its peak. He can now fuse with a fourth symbiotic fungus.

Since weapons cannot be fused, he incorporated steel-skin bacteria into his upper right arm.

Now his entire right arm can be made of steel, and with his enhanced physical strength, he can be described as invulnerable to knives and guns.

After Fang Mingxuan reached the peak, he no longer went to the Ancient Tree Forest with Lin Muying and the others. Next, he would go with Li Yu and the other three to the abandoned village to hunt down the Ghost Walkers.

The original team of four became five. When the five of them charged into the horde of ghost walkers, Li Yu suddenly discovered that Fang Mingxuan's performance was even more terrifying than Bai Yan's three.

The powerful lightning spear, amplified by four enhancements, is capable of accurately killing a ghost walker with each throw.

Bai Yan, Nan Muyu, and the other two were equally surprised. They hadn't expected that Li Yu was so powerful, and that one of his companions would also become so terrifying after breaking through to the peak.

On this day, they continued hunting ghost walkers in the border areas, retreating to rest whenever they disturbed the undead walkers.

On this day, Li Yu harvested 2 intermediate-level enhancement crystal cores and 21 basic-level enhancement crystal cores.

He now possesses a total of 4 intermediate-level enhancement crystal cores and 52 basic-level enhancement crystal cores.

That's enough for the Dead Mushroom to undergo its fifth enhancement.

After 4 intermediate-level enhancement crystal cores and 45 primary-level enhancement crystal cores were integrated into the Dead Mushroom, a dramatic change occurred within it. These numerous enhancement crystal cores merged into one, transforming into a powerful energy that finally enabled the Dead Mushroom to begin its fifth enhancement process.

After five enhancements, the length of the dead mushroom finally changed, increasing from one meter to one and a half meters. After the double caps opened, its diameter also reached one and a half meters.

The maximum attack range has been increased from eight meters to ten meters.

A faint glow seemed to emanate from its surface.

The fifth enhancement of the fungal technique "Death Giant Mushroom" has added an incredibly powerful explosive effect.

Now, he only has 7 primary enhancement crystal cores left.

He then tried to further strengthen the Death Mushroom, but like the Sirius Mushroom, he could no longer fuse with the strengthening crystal core, which meant that the Death Mushroom had reached its limit after being strengthened to level five.

Feeling the energy surging from the five-times-enhanced Death Mushroom, Li Yu exhaled softly; his strength had increased once again.

In particular, the fifth enhancement brought almost double the power and strength of the fourth enhancement.

Soon, a new day arrived. Counting the days, today should be May 20th. They have been in the Ancient Ghost Forest for three days.

In addition to Li Yu, Fang Mingxuan, Bai Yan, Nan Muyu, and Wu Xiuchun, Lu Wei also joined them.

Now, six people have joined forces to continuously attack this abandoned wilderness and hunt down these powerful ghost walkers.

As before, once the undead walkers in the distance were alerted, the group quickly retreated.

Although Li Yu wanted to challenge the undead walkers, he was afraid that the others would not be able to withstand the hordes of ghost walkers around them, and that the slightest mistake could result in serious casualties.

He is still waiting.

The fungal eggs in his backpack have been changing drastically over the past two days, and he knows that they should be hatching soon.

He was filled with anticipation for the fungal spirit beast that was about to hatch.

On this day, he obtained 1 intermediate-level enhancement crystal core and 23 basic-level enhancement crystal cores.

Of the nearly two hundred people gathered in this area, almost eighty have now broken through and reached the peak of the Spore stage.

It can be said that those who are weaker or grow slowly have been largely eliminated, while those who remain are becoming stronger and stronger.

That evening, he ran into Lin Muying, Qian Lili, and Zhou Xigang, all of whom looked excited.

During a casual chat during a break, he learned that Lin Muying's spore growth was nearing its peak, which meant that she would break through within the next day or two.

While Qian Lili and Zhou Xigang are a bit behind her, they are also close to achieving the same level.

Not only that, they also found quite a few level-four jelly mushrooms in the ancient forest, which they picked and put into their backpacks, numbering at least a hundred.

They currently have over thirty Glowing Star Mushrooms, plus over a hundred Jelly Mushrooms, so they won't need to worry about food for a long time to come.

On the 21st, three more peak-stage spore cultivators joined Li Yu's team of six to hunt down ghost walkers in the abandoned village.

These three people were the man in the black hat and two other peak experts whom Li Yu did not recognize.

Those who dare to hunt alongside them now are naturally the true powerhouses among the elite. This time, they ventured deep into the desolate village, and the circle formed by their combined efforts was completely able to block the soul light attacks from the surrounding hordes of ghostly walkers.

Fang Mingxuan, in particular, has been performing increasingly impressively.

Li Yu has always been regarded as a strong person who has broken through the spore stage. His strength is within everyone's expectations. What surprised everyone was Fang Mingxuan.
