The world enters the fungal world

Another dark green lizard charged diagonally toward Li Yu, opening its foul-smelling mouth to bite his thigh.

Seeing this, Li Yu felt the surging power within his body. His arms seemed to have the strength of a thousand pounds. He gripped the crowbar tightly, let out a low roar, lifted the giant lizard strung on it, and then slammed it down heavily on the charging dark green lizard.

The two lizards collided with a loud "bang." The dark green lizard was sent flying three or four meters away, while the giant lizard spat out more blood from its mouth before crashing to the ground after knocking the dark green lizard away.

Li Yu exited the "hyper-capture" state, but an even stronger power surged within him. Lin Muying's special ability was still in effect, and at this moment he could hardly feel the pain from his broken ribs.

He gripped the crowbar tightly with both hands, pulled hard, and with a spurt of blood, pulled the crowbar out of the giant lizard's mouth and body.

The giant lizard shuddered violently in pain, emitting a piercing hiss.

Blood dripped from the crowbar. Li Yu turned it over again, and the curved hammerhead smashed into the giant lizard's head.

This time, Li Yu's power was even greater. Although the giant lizard's head was harder than that of an ordinary dark green lizard, it could not withstand the pressure and immediately collapsed and shattered.

On the other side, Lin Muying breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Li Yu suddenly become so brave. Seizing the opportunity, she swung the fire axe in her hand and chopped it down on the head of the dark green lizard that had just been knocked away.

The "light bacteria" within her body were now exerting a special effect, and her strength was also increasing. With this axe strike, she directly split the dark green lizard's head in two, and blood mixed with brain matter gushed out like a fountain.

Li Yu watched as the giant lizard in front of him swayed its body and suddenly collapsed heavily, no longer moving. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and take a step back. It was then that he felt waves of pain in his chest.

Turning his head, he saw that Fang Mingxuan, Zou Dapeng, and Wu Limei had also killed a dark green lizard together. The branch in Fang Mingxuan's hand, as thick as a baby's arm, was stained with blood, indicating that he had killed this dark green lizard.

Although Zhou Xigang and Qian Lili injured one of the lizards, they were unable to kill it. As the giant lizard fell, the remaining two surviving dark green lizards turned and fled towards the alley entrance.

Lin Muying's "Light Bacteria" special effect had already disappeared, and Li Yu had no energy left to chase after them. He let the remaining two dark green lizards escape and watched them disappear into the alley. He immediately turned around and said, "Let's go, let's go back quickly."

Lin Muying rushed over to support him. She could see that Li Yu was pale and his mouth was full of blood, indicating that he was seriously injured.

The ground was covered in blood and lizard corpses, the stench of blood was overwhelming, and it could attract more parasitic monsters at any moment. The group was unable to deal with the corpses and could only go up the stairs.

Fortunately, apart from Li Yu, the others were mostly unharmed, and the group quickly returned to the fourth floor.

Lin Muying helped Li Yu lie down carefully. Li Yu knew that his injuries were serious, and he probably had several broken ribs. In addition, he had fought fiercely afterward, and he didn't know the condition of his ribs or whether they would be dislocated.

There was no hospital here, let alone a professional doctor. All he could do was lie down and hope that the special ability of this pupil fungus would allow his broken ribs to heal naturally.

Li Yu lay down, and the others sat down around him. Thinking about the perilous situation they had just experienced, they realized that if it hadn't been for Li Yu's heroic actions, they would all be dead by now. They still felt lingering fear when they thought about it.

Fang Mingxuan arranged the weapons used by everyone in order from longest to shortest. Li Yu, Lin Muying, and the others knew that he had obsessive-compulsive disorder and were not surprised by his actions. Only Zhou Xigang felt that this person was a bit inexplicable.

"Li Yu, you were really amazing just now." Qian Lili looked at Li Yu lying on the ground with an expression of admiration on her face.

Zhou Xigang nodded, praising someone for once: "I didn't expect Li Yu to become so powerful after entering the spore stage."

Wu Limei asked curiously, "What is the spore stage?"

Qian Lili hurriedly explained to them, and Fang Mingxuan, Zou Dapeng, and Wu Limei all showed a hint of surprise. Zou Dapeng murmured, "So that's how it is. This fungus can also grow and evolve, spore stage..."

Wu Limei's face lit up with sudden realization: "No wonder my wound was so itchy before. It turns out it was a sign of infection by fungal seeds. Does that mean fungi can appear in my body?"

Qian Lili nodded and said, "Yes, not only will the wound be very itchy, but it will also heal very quickly without leaving a trace. After that, fungi will appear in your body, and you can dream about the name of the fungus you get. Mine is called Explosion Fungus, Li Yu's is called Pupil Fungus, Mu Ying's is called Light Fungus, and Zhou Xigang's is called Bone Fungus."

Fang Mingxuan and the other two looked at each other, their expressions a mix of joy and fear. After all, the thought of fungi parasitizing the human body and what mutations might occur was terrifying. However, the benefit was that it could help heal their wounds and grant them powerful strength.

Li Yu lay motionless on the ground and asked, "Wu Limei, you said before that the three of you left the hotel, what happened after that?"

They had met before and were talking when Zhou Xigang interrupted them. Then they were attacked by lizards. Now, back on the fourth floor, Li Yu wanted to know what Fang Mingxuan and Wu Limei encountered next.

Upon hearing Li Yu's question, Wu Limei smoothed her long hair behind her ear and said, "When we left the hotel, we went to find the police station nearby. Fortunately, the police station was not far behind the hotel. We had only walked for a short while when we encountered a crazy teddy bear. This teddy bear had many small mushrooms growing on its back and was frantically rushing towards us."

Qian Lili immediately chimed in, "I know, this must be someone's pet teddy bear dog, now it's been parasitized by mushrooms, and it's turned into a monster."

Wu Limei nodded and said, "We were unarmed and unprepared. It bit my leg, but luckily it was just a superficial wound."

Zou Dapeng habitually touched his neck and said, "This teddy bear looks small, but it's fierce and incredibly agile. I tried to kick it twice but failed. When I tried to grab it, it bit my arm instead. Mingxuan, you're amazing. You grabbed one of its hind legs and killed it."

When Fang Mingxuan heard Zou Dapeng mention him, he pursed his lips and shook his head, saying, "What's so great about it? It was just a coincidence. At the time, it was distracted by you and tried to bite your right arm, so it only managed to grab one of your legs. Even so, my right hand was still scratched by its claws."

As she spoke, she raised her right hand and noticed that the blood groove she had scraped out was itching. According to Qian Lili, this meant that it was being infected and parasitized by a fungus.

Upon hearing this, Li Yu understood that they had all obtained the power of fungi. No wonder the three of them were able to kill a dark green lizard just now. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for three ordinary people without good weapons to kill such a mutated lizard.

He didn't know it before, but now he understands. In fact, after his first encounter with the black cat and being scratched and infected by it, he gained the power of fungi, and his physical attributes were already changing and improving. That's why he was able to perform so bravely afterward and kill the parasitic monsters one after another.

At the time, I didn't realize this change. I thought it was because my body's potential was being unleashed when I was in danger, and that my strength and speed were increasing.

"After that, we arrived at the security team's location, but unfortunately, it had become ruins, with giant mushrooms growing everywhere, and we couldn't see anyone there anymore."

As Fang Mingxuan spoke, he pursed his lips and gave a bitter smile, appearing dejected.
