The world enters the fungal world

"Alright, whether it's mutation or evolution, we need this evolution and mutation to be more intense now. Only by gaining stronger power can we hope to enter the hotel, find the root of our journey here, and possibly return to our original world."

Hearing Li Yu's analysis, Qian Lili's eyes gradually brightened. Her despair and despair subsided considerably, and with hope, her fighting spirit rose. She said excitedly, "Li Yu, you're right. We need to find a way to become stronger. We just killed several parasitized monkeys. If we become even stronger, maybe we won't have to be afraid of them anymore."

Li Yu gave them a deep look before saying, "That's right, so everyone should try to eat more mushrooms and then find a way to master the abilities we've gained. Now that we have special abilities, I think we should be able to master them."

He thought of the special ability in his right eye that could slow down his opponent. If he could control it, why would he fear those parasitized monkeys? Unfortunately, he couldn't control or use this ability at the moment; it just appeared passively and suddenly.

This ability didn't appear when I fought the most terrifying parasitic monkey before, and I almost died at its hands. If Qian Lili hadn't suddenly unleashed her power, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

This time, the four of them picked a lot of white jade mushrooms, enough for them to eat for two or three days. They did not leave the house again for the next day.

When they were hungry or thirsty, they would eat mushrooms. After they were full, they would rest in the living room. Occasionally, they would observe the situation outside and listen for any noises.

As darkness fell, the four men's cell phones were all switched off and rendered unusable. However, they couldn't bear to throw them away and kept them on their bodies, hoping that they might be able to return someday, as there was still a lot of important data on their phones that they couldn't afford to lose.

Now they all knew that eating mushrooms could increase their strength, so the four of them ate as much as possible. By evening, half of the mushrooms they had picked were gone, and at this rate, the remaining mushrooms wouldn't last until tomorrow.

Li Yu spent the rest of the day eating mushrooms, but although he kept his eyes closed, he wasn't really sleeping; he was constantly sensing the changes happening inside his body.

He wanted to control the special ability of his right eye; only in this way could he have the confidence to deal with the parasitic monsters and enter the hotel.

As Li Yu ate a large number of mushrooms, he could feel a faint warm current slowly forming in his stomach after the mushrooms reached his stomach.

Some of this heat would spread throughout his body, nourishing every inch of his flesh and blood, while another part would rush to the wounded areas. In just over half a day, the bloody hole in his abdomen that the parasitic monkey had dug out healed.

Eating this mushroom will accelerate the healing of wounds.

Apart from that, the vast majority of the heat flowed to his right eye.

Throughout the day, Li Yu could clearly feel that his right eye was in a warm state, as if his eyeball was soaking in a hot spring, which felt strangely comfortable.

This feeling is even more real when you are carefully sensing it with your eyes closed.

Li Yu spent most of the day immersed in this strange state. In the evening, he suddenly felt that there was something in his right eye.

Just like the heat flowing towards his right eye, it contracted and converged within his right eye, slowly forming something.

He didn't know what it was that had formed; he could only vaguely sense that it was like a bottomless darkness, extremely subtle and invisible to the naked eye, yet it truly existed deep within his right eye.

Almost at the same moment, a thought inexplicably surfaced in his mind.

"spore."

He suddenly understood that the extremely tiny and bottomless darkness that had formed in his right eye was called a spore, and it was the spore of the pupil fungus in his right eye.

As the spores of the fungus appeared in his body, Li Yu felt that he suddenly had more memories in his mind, all of which were related to the fungus and its spores.

"I see. The so-called spores are actually 'fungal seeds.' These seeds were like they were buried deep underground, in a dormant state. No wonder I couldn't actively use the special abilities of the Pupil Fungus before."

"A dormant seed needs to absorb a lot of nutrients and energy to germinate. The white jade mushroom I ate was converted into energy by my body. Apart from a very small portion used to maintain the energy required for my body's daily life, the vast majority of the nutrients and energy were absorbed by this fungal seed."

"Once the seed has absorbed enough nutrients, it will germinate, begin to sprout, and enter the spore stage."

"I injured my right eye before, and that's when the fungal seed entered my body..."

Li Yu finally understood that the faint, shimmering points of light that filled the air and existed in every corner were actually countless fungal seeds. Whenever someone was injured, these ubiquitous fungal seeds would attach themselves to the wound and flesh and enter the human body.

"When the fungal seeds enter the body and combine with human flesh and blood, they can enhance physical fitness, strength, and speed, and improve various comprehensive qualities of the human body. I originally thought that my strength was slowly increasing because I ate the white jade mushrooms, but it turns out that it was the special effect formed by the fusion of the pupil fungus seeds with my body. The white jade mushrooms are just food, providing nutrition and turning into the energy needed for the growth of the pupil fungus seeds."

While processing the memories of pupil fungus and spores that suddenly appeared in his mind, Li Yu also felt the changes occurring in his body.

As the fungal spore appeared in his right eye, he could feel a warm current emanating from it. Unlike the faint warmth he had felt before, this was a subtle, clearly perceptible warm current.

Although the heat flow was weak, it was clearly present.

At this moment, the heat flowed back into his entire body, filling his limbs and bones, merging with his flesh and blood, and making him feel the changes throughout his body.

His muscle fibers are gradually becoming stronger, his bone density is subtly increasing, his hearing is improving, his vision is getting better, and his cardiopulmonary function is getting stronger...

This represents a comprehensive improvement in overall physical fitness; fungal seeds undergo tremendous changes as they transition from dormancy to the spore stage.

In addition to the improvement in his overall physical fitness, Li Yu finally understood what the special ability of the pupil in his right eye was.

This ability is called "Hyper-Catch". Once activated, it can accurately identify, lock onto and capture the target. Because the seed was in a dormant period before, this ability can only be passively activated occasionally.

Now, with the arrival of the spore stage, Li Yu has finally taken the initiative to master this ability, which can be activated at will.

Only after fully mastering the "hyper-capture" ability did he finally understand the essence of this ability.

He recalled how he had passively activated this "hyper-capture" ability several times during his battles with the parasitic monsters. Once he entered this "hyper-capture" state, the parasitic monsters seemed to move at a slower speed in his eyes, allowing him to accurately attack the targets he had locked onto.
