The world enters the fungal world

Enveloped by the vortex of light, Li Yu felt as if a new power was being injected into his body. The severe pain in his abdomen was lessening, his wounds were shrinking, and his strength was increasing.

The blow landed with a faint whooshing sound, and the sound of bones breaking immediately echoed in the parasitic monkey's shoulder where it was struck. The dense clusters of tiny mushrooms covering the shoulder instantly rotted, splattering out along with blood.

The force of the blow was astonishing; it completely smashed the parasitic monkey's right shoulder, sending its body flying sideways before crashing heavily to the ground.

Li Yu rushed forward, reversed the fire-fighting crowbar in his hand, grabbed the curved side, and shoveled down with its sharp beak.

With a "whoosh," the eagle's beak pierced the parasitic monkey's chest cavity, penetrating nearly halfway and pinning it to the ground.

The power of this attack was beyond even Li Yu's imagination. Within the vortex of light emitted from Lin Muying's right arm, his power continued to rise, and his whole body seemed to possess inexhaustible strength.

Blood gushed from the parasitic monkey's gaping, foul-smelling mouth, and it hissed strangely in its throat. It twisted its body desperately, its left paw gripping a crowbar, trying to pull it out of its body.

Li Yu released the crowbar from his hand, saw the claw hammer that Qian Lili had dropped, picked it up, and smashed it down wildly on the parasitic monkey's head.

The parasitic monkey was pinned to the ground, unable to move or dodge. Amidst the ear-piercing sounds, Li Yu, seemingly insane, continued to smash down the monkey with his hammer.

The hammerhead was quickly covered with a large amount of dark red flesh and blood, which splashed outwards as he swung the hammer.

The parasitic monkey's head, formed from dark red mycelium, was quickly hammered into a dark red gooey. Its head and face collapsed, its eyeballs bulged out, its fangs broke off, and finally, its entire head shattered and exploded, turning into a shapeless mass of mud.

Only then did Li Yu finally stop breathing heavily, his whole body trembling slightly.

Because he exerted too much force, he felt his hands and feet go weak, and for a short time, he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Everyone else stared blankly at Li Yu, seemingly not expecting him to have such a crazy side.

Li Yu turned his head and looked at Lin Muying standing beside him. In his right eye, he saw that the fountain of light gushing from Lin Muying's right arm had disappeared, and the vortex of light that had originally enveloped him and Qian Lili was also gone.

Lin Muying, Qian Lili, and Zhou Xigang, who had just gotten up after falling, were all looking at Li Yu. Everyone was in a sorry state, covered in blood, and their faces showed the lingering fear of surviving a disaster.

"Let's go back quickly!" Li Yu gritted his teeth and managed to utter these four words. He reached out and grabbed the crowbar stuck in the ground, trying to pull it out, but found that he was too weak to move it.

Lin Muying seemed to wake from a dream, exclaimed "Ah!" and hurriedly came over to support him.

Of the four, only Lin Muying was uninjured.

"Quick...help me pull out the crowbar, take the mushrooms, and get back quickly."

Li Yu's eyes showed a wary look as he whispered to Lin Muying, Qian Lili, and the other two, while glancing around.

Five parasitic monkeys are dead here, along with the corpses of Yu Xiang and Jiang Yan, a married couple. The stench of blood is strong, and new parasitic monsters could be attracted at any moment. Staying here for even a second longer increases the danger.

Lin Muying responded and quickly grabbed the crowbar with him. Together they pulled and managed to pull the crowbar out of the ground, which had pierced through the parasitic monkey.

Li Yu gasped for breath and used the crowbar to support himself on the ground before he could stand up.

"Hurry up!" Zhou Xigang knew it was dangerous to stay outside, so he and Qian Lili picked up the two jackets wrapped around mushrooms from the ground and, together with Li Yu and Lin Muying, the four of them supported each other and walked back with some difficulty.

The presence of so many corpses outside the residential building will surely attract other parasitic monsters, but at the moment they lack the energy and ability to clean up these corpses and can only leave them here.

Finally, the four of them went up the stairs back to the fourth floor. Once they entered the living room and half-closed the security door, they breathed a sigh of relief. Li Yu immediately collapsed to the ground.

Apart from Lin Muying, who was in slightly better condition, Qian Lili and Zhou Xigang were not much better off than Li Yu. They collapsed on the living room floor, too weak to even speak.

The tragic deaths of Yu Xiang and Jiang Yan had a profound impact on their mental well-being, making them realize that this cruel world is not a game or a game of make-believe, and that if they are not careful, they could be the next to die.

Li Yu caught his breath and slowly sat up from the ground. His pale face regained some color. He unbuttoned a coat, revealing a pile of white jade mushrooms inside. He picked up two mushrooms and stuffed them into his mouth.

He had eaten his fill earlier, but after this round of fighting, he felt hungry again, so he didn't hesitate to start eating mushrooms in large bites.

The other three were already starving, and when they saw Li Yu start eating mushrooms, they also hurriedly picked up mushrooms and started eating them. Now, no one complained about eating raw mushrooms anymore.

The four of them picked a lot of mushrooms, enough for two or three days.

After Li Yu finished eating, he felt his depleted strength slowly recovering, and the mushrooms he had eaten made his stomach feel a faint warm current again.

These warm currents then slowly spread throughout his limbs and bones, and of course, more of them converged towards his right eye, nourishing it with this faint warmth.

He now knows that the "pupil fungus" in his right eye needs this white jade mushroom to provide nutrients.

After Lin Muying and the other two finished eating, they stopped eating one after another. They also began to feel the faint warm current in their bodies. In addition to slowly spreading throughout their bodies, the main warm current was concentrated in a certain part of their bodies.

However, the three of them felt the warmth concentrated in different places on their bodies. Lin Muying could feel the warmth concentrated in her right arm, while Qian Lili felt it in her chest, and Zhou Xigang felt it in his right leg.

"This kind of mushroom seems to have special effects. Have you noticed anything?" Zhou Xi's spirits lifted as soon as he made this discovery, and he immediately spoke up.

Qian Lili's face was still a little pale, but she nodded and said, "I felt a warm feeling in my stomach after eating it, and the warmth was moving around."

Li Yu examined the wounds on his chest and found that in just a short time, these terrible wounds, which were deep enough to expose bone and over twenty centimeters long, had shrunk together. Judging from this, they should heal soon.

Another major benefit of obtaining this fungal eye is that any wounds sustained will heal quickly unless the person dies on the spot.

He then thought of Yu Xiang and Jiang Yan, a married couple whose injuries were so severe that they died on the spot. So even if the light from the sky clung to their wounds, it could not bring them back to life.

"Zhou Xigang, what is your special ability?" Li Yu asked thoughtfully, then suddenly looked up at Zhou Xigang.

Zhou Xigang was slightly taken aback, his face showing some confusion, and asked, "What kind of special ability are you talking about?"
