The world enters the fungal world

Lin Muying looked up and said, "Li Yu, this has nothing to do with you. None of us expected these monkeys to become so terrifying, and there are so many of them..."

As she spoke, she shook her head, recalling the seven or eight blood-red parasitic monkeys that had jumped from the third floor before she fled. No one knew how many more were hidden in the hotel, or perhaps there were even more terrifying monsters than these blood-red parasitic monkeys.

Thinking about it this way, a sense of despair arose in her heart. Did they even have a chance to return to the hotel?

Even though they knew there was something wrong with the deep pit beneath the hotel, they simply didn't have the ability to get in.

Zou Daxian took a deep breath, his deathly stiff expression changing slightly, and said, "Li Yu, don't overthink it. What does this have to do with you? If it weren't for you, we'd all be dead here today."

Li Yu killed three of those terrifying, blood-red parasitic monkeys by himself, and even saved Zou Dapeng. If it weren't for him, Zou Dapeng couldn't imagine what would have happened.

Li Yu shook his head, his expression somewhat somber. Although he and Wu Limei weren't particularly close, they were old classmates from university and had always had a good relationship. Now, watching her die tragically in front of him was far more shocking than seeing Yu Xiang and Jiang Yan die tragically before.

Qian Lili sobbed as she said, "If... if we had waited until Li Mei and the others had also entered the spore stage before going to the hotel, perhaps Li Mei wouldn't have died."

Li Yu glanced at her but didn't speak. Lin Muying frowned slightly, sighed softly, and then said, "Lili, the situation isn't as simple as you think. In just two or three days, these monsters have evolved to be so terrifying. Even if Li Mei and the others really enter the spore stage, these monsters might become even more terrifying, and the situation might be worse than it is now..."

Qian Lili was slightly taken aback when she heard Lin Muying say this. After thinking about it carefully, she found that what Lin Muying said made a lot of sense.

"Then... what do we do? Will we never be able to get back into this hotel?" Qian Lili's face showed a look of near collapse.

Lin Muying shook her head slightly, wanting to say that she didn't know either, but knowing she couldn't say anything discouraging, she said, "I think there will be a way, we'll find it eventually..."

Zhou Xigang was still in shock. He wasn't familiar with Wu Limei, so the shock he felt wasn't as intense as the others. He was slightly out of breath when he said, "There's no point in talking about this now. The important thing right now is what we should do. We can't go to this hotel for the time being. There are too many of those monsters. We're no match for them."

As he spoke, he shook his head, still shaken by the terrifying sight of the blood-red parasitic monkey. He had been so confident when his "bone fungus" entered the "spore stage," thinking he could easily kill these parasitic monsters. Now he realized how impulsive and reckless he had been.

Zou Dapeng looked at Li Yu and said, "Li Yu, what do you think? What should we do next?"

Li Yu looked up and glanced in the direction of the hotel in the distance. He could no longer hear any noise from there, and it seemed that the parasitic monkeys had returned to the hotel.

The appearance of these blood-red parasitic monkeys disrupted Li Yu's plans. He had originally wanted to enter the deep pit in the hotel to see what was going on, but now he had to give up the idea for the time being.

"Find enough mushrooms for us for a day or two, then go back to the fourth floor."

Li Yu thought for a moment, then spoke in a deep voice: It's nighttime now, and in this eerie world, no one knows where danger might be lurking. The safest thing to do now is to find enough white jade mushrooms for them for a day or two and return to the fourth floor.

In a day or two, Fang Mingxuan and Zou Dapeng should be able to enter the "spore stage," and then we'll make further plans.

No one objected, and they all nodded in agreement. Qian Lili also wiped away her tears and stopped crying.

In the hotel just now, Zhou Xigang lost the stick he was holding, and now he only had a fire axe left. Thinking that this axe had saved his life, Zhou Xigang, who had previously looked down on the axe, now regarded it as a treasure.

He stroked the axe in his hand and said, "Although there are mushrooms everywhere here, finding the white jade mushroom is like finding a needle in a haystack. Finding enough mushrooms to meet our needs won't be easy..."

As he spoke, he looked around and saw mushrooms of all sizes everywhere. The overpass in the distance was covered with thick mycelium like vines. After their escape, they fled from the direction of the hotel entrance, passed under the overpass, and escaped to the other side of the road.

Here, there are also many buildings covered with mushrooms, and on the other side, there are some giant trees. However, the surface of these trees is covered with various fungi of different sizes. These trees are also different from the common trees in the city that they used to know. They are all new species that no one can recognize.

Zhou Xigang felt a headache coming on when he thought about finding white jade mushrooms in this place where all kinds of mushrooms were everywhere.

Li Yu suddenly let out a soft exclamation, as if he had made a discovery. He waved to the crowd, signaling them to be quiet, and then carefully walked towards a cluster of giant trees in front of him.

Upon seeing Li Yu's actions, Zhou Xi quickly shut his mouth. He saw that the ground in front of him was covered with a dense mass of dark yellow mushrooms, about the size of a baby's fist. At this moment, some rather messy footprints could be clearly seen on these densely packed dark yellow mushrooms.

These are human footprints.

They had just escaped here, coming from the direction of the hotel, which is not the same direction as these footprints, so these footprints were not left by them.

"It seems there are others besides us," Zhou Xigang murmured.

Li Yu carefully observed the footprints around him and soon noticed that in addition to the human footprints, there were also some claw marks. It seemed that there were other creatures besides humans here.

This discovery made Li Yu even more cautious, and he gripped the slightly bent crowbar in his right hand tightly.

Although the crowbar was of good quality, it couldn't withstand Li Yu's current strength, especially after the fight at the hotel where he used too much force, causing the crowbar to bend slightly.

The group carefully stepped on the dark yellow mushrooms, slowly approaching the large tree. These dark yellow mushrooms would be crushed with just a light step, releasing sap and leaving footprints on them.

Finally, the six of them carefully arrived at the trees.

Large patches of giant mushrooms grew beside the trees.

These mushrooms are also dark yellow all over, but they are huge, about 60 or 70 centimeters tall, with caps ranging from the size of a washbasin to nearly a meter in diameter.

Some of these giant mushrooms were smashed by some force, and then everyone saw a person lying among these smashed giant mushrooms.

The man lay motionless among these giant mushrooms, seemingly dead.

Upon suddenly spotting a human corpse, everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and they immediately stopped. Each person wore a wary and solemn expression as they carefully observed their surroundings.
