The world enters the fungal world

Li Yu and Zhou Xigang did not pick mushrooms. Instead, they took their weapons and stood guard on both sides, looking around to prevent any danger.

Soon, the backpack was full of small umbrella mushrooms. Fang Mingxuan slung the backpack over his shoulder, and the group walked towards the other side of the residential building.

There was a patch of red liver mushrooms there, which looked bright red. Everyone had previously thought they were poisonous mushrooms, but it turned out that these red liver mushrooms were also edible.

Li Yu and Zhou Xigang laid their coats flat on the ground. Lin Muying, Zou Dapeng, and the other three picked mushrooms, while Li Yu and Zhou Xigang stood guard on both sides, observing the surroundings.

The four of them worked together and quickly picked a lot of red liver mushrooms before packing their coats and heading home with their bounty.

Although it is daytime, the sun is not visible in the sky, and everything is hazy, as if the sky is covered with a layer of fog that is invisible to the naked eye.

The surroundings were deathly silent, as if the entire world consisted only of the six of them, and an indescribable sense of oppression filled everyone's hearts.

It wasn't until they returned to the fourth floor that everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They had gained a lot from this trip; there were enough edible fungi to last them for a day or two.

After that, no one went out again. They stayed obediently in their rooms on the fourth floor, eating mushrooms when they were hungry or thirsty, and occasionally getting up to move around or chat for a bit.

The flavors of these small umbrella mushrooms and red liver mushrooms are somewhat different from those of the jade mushroom. When people tasted them, they felt that the small umbrella mushrooms had a light fragrance, while the red liver mushrooms had a slightly sweet taste.

By evening, the fungus in Fang Mingxuan's right hand had finally entered the "spore stage".

Not only were his overall physical abilities enhanced, with his strength, speed, and reaction time all greatly improved, but he also awakened a special power called "Spore Arc".

When Fang Mingxuan activated the "Spore Arc", everyone in the living room watched quietly, their faces showing astonishment.

This "spore arc" was not only visible to Li Yu, but also to everyone else. Especially in the now-dim living room, a thin, blue-white arc of electricity could be seen shooting out from Fang Mingxuan's right palm and landing two or three meters away.

Although it only lasts for a moment, according to Fang Mingxuan, once you are hit by this spore arc, you will be instantly paralyzed, convulsed, or even knocked unconscious if you are weak.

When used in conjunction with a fire-fighting crowbar, the electric arc can be directed out by the crowbar, allowing for attacks from a greater distance.

The downside is that you need to wait 30 seconds after each use before you can use it again.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have found it hard to believe. This mushroom is simply amazing; it can generate high voltage in the human body and even release it."

Zou Dapeng stared in disbelief as he watched the lightning crackle from Fang Mingxuan's palm.

Although Lin Muying's "Fountain of Light" is also magical, only Li Yu can see the vortex formed by the light. They can't see anything at all. In terms of visual effect, it is naturally far inferior to the "Spore Arc".

Fang Mingxuan looked at the "spore arc" released from his right hand and was also a little excited. He could feel his body being strengthened under the influence of the Thunder Fungus. He finally had the strength to fight against those fungal beasts.

"That's normal. I remember electric eels can also discharge electricity. The principle behind your Leijun's discharge might be similar to that of an electric eel." Among the crowd, only Zhou Xigang was unconvinced.

Before long, Zou Dapeng also successfully entered the "spore stage" of the fungus.

In addition to the same physical enhancement, he also possesses an ability called "Radiant Power," which causes his right hand to be covered by a faint green light when used.

This "Sparkling Power" not only enhances the strength of his right hand, but also extends to his weapon, increasing its sharpness and power.

At this point, all six had entered the "spore stage".

As they entered the "spore stage," the six of them needed more and more edible fungi. Apart from the small umbrella mushrooms that were still in their backpacks, all the red liver mushrooms they had picked during the day had been eaten by everyone.

After they finished eating, everyone sat on the ground. Fang Mingxuan suggested leaving tomorrow, as he felt there was no point in staying any longer.

Although they are growing stronger, the fungal beasts outside are also growing stronger. Moreover, according to Xiao Gang's comment in the booklet, if they want to accelerate their growth and evolution, they need to fight as many battles as possible and hunt down the fungal beasts. Hiding here is not a solution at all.

Besides that, the most important thing now is to find the Spirit Ruins City mentioned in the booklet, or to find other native inhabitants.

Staying here will only lead to certain death.

Zou Dapeng agreed with Fang Mingxuan's suggestion, but Zhou Xigang disagreed, feeling that it would be safer to stay here for a few more days.

Qian Lili supports Zhou Xigang's view.

Li Yu listened to their discussion without offering his own opinion. Instead, he sat there with his eyelids slightly lowered, constantly sensing the pupil fungus within his body.

Just now, his fungal spores have grown again, now twice the size of the original.

After this growth, the pupil fungus spores underwent a new change, actively releasing energy that slowly spread throughout his body from his right eye.

After that, his physical fitness continued to improve slowly.

Whether it's speed, strength, physical fitness, sensory perception, or thinking ability, all have been improved to a certain extent.

Li Yu realized that he had grown again and become stronger once more.

Clearly, fungal spores can grow continuously, and once they reach a certain stage, they will achieve an astonishing improvement.

If his pupil fungus was only in the initial stage of the "spore stage" before, then now he has entered the second stage of the "spore stage".

Then, he took a deep breath and stood up.

Fang Mingxuan and Zhou Xigang were each sticking to their own point of view, analyzing the pros and cons, when Li Yu suddenly stood up. They both stopped and looked up at him.

"Li Yu, what's wrong?" Zou Dapeng asked.

Li Yu shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I'm just going out for some fresh air."

After saying that, he walked out of the living room and onto the balcony. Fortunately, the balcony of this house was quite large, allowing him to move around.

Li Yu moved his hands and feet, including punching, retracting his fists, retreating, and blocking, trying to adapt to the powerful strength he had just suddenly gained.

Seeing Li Yu walk out, Fang Mingxuan and Zou Dapeng assumed that Li Yu was angry because of their argument and stopped arguing with Zhou Xigang. They also stood up and walked out.

Seeing the subtle gust of wind emanating from Li Yu's punch, one could imagine its power. Zou Dapeng's heart stirred slightly, and he also threw a punch into the air.

He immediately realized that his punch was far inferior to Li Yu's performance, lacking any of the subtle power of the punch.

"We're both in the spore stage, so why can't I throw a punch like that?" Zou Dapeng pondered, wondering if it was because he had only just entered the "spore stage".

As Li Yu unleashed a flurry of punches, the force of each blow was overwhelming. Zou Dapeng and Fang Mingxuan, standing to the side, could feel the power of Li Yu's punches even though they hadn't actually fought him.

Seeing Fang Mingxuan and Zou Dapeng standing to one side, having stopped after throwing a few punches, Li Yu knew what they were thinking and spoke up:

"I'm fine. I just ate too many mushrooms and moved around a bit. Fungi can continue to grow after entering the spore stage. It's good to eat more mushrooms and move your hands and feet more often."
