The world enters the fungal world

Li Yu nodded and said, "Yes, that's a possibility. If it really is a man-made glowing spot, then it should be a settlement of indigenous people, or even the Spirit Ruins City."

At this moment, Zhou Xigang, Zou Dapeng, and Qian Lili also squeezed over. Hearing Li Yu say that there was a light source there, they all observed it carefully.

"Looking closely, it seems like it is, but then again, it doesn't. However, Li Yu's eyesight is better than ours. Since he says it is, it must be. Shall we go and take a look?"

Qian Lili knew that the fungus Li Yu had obtained was called "Pupil Fungus". As the name suggests, this fungus is related to the eyes, and his eyesight is far superior to theirs.

Lin Muying nodded slightly and said, "Whether it's Lingxu City or not, it's worth the risk for us to go and see."

Fang Mingxuan clenched his fists and pursed his lips. Although he didn't speak, his expression conveyed urgency. He couldn't wait to get up and go see what was going on.

Zhou Xigang said, "Shall we go now?" Hearing that it sounded like Lingxu City, he was also excited and wanted to see for himself.

After all, the sudden discovery of a light source in broad daylight is indeed intriguing.

As he spoke, he carefully observed the distance and continued, "That should be in Nanshan District. It's not close to us; it's probably more than ten kilometers away."

Li Yu raised his eyes slightly, glanced at everyone, and said, "Since everyone agrees, let's go take a look."

Zou Dapeng suddenly said, "Shall we go now? I'm feeling a bit hungry. How about we eat something before we set off?"

"Yes, I was just saying that because I'm feeling hungry," Zhou Xigang nodded in agreement, rubbing his stomach.

Having set off in the morning and fought several battles along the way, it was well past noon, and everyone was feeling hungry and thirsty.

Li Yu nodded slightly in agreement, but unlike the others, he wasn't hungry.

He has always gotten hungry faster than others, and his appetite is the largest among them.

Because the pupil bacteria in his body are at the highest level of evolution, they require the most nutrients and energy, but he doesn't feel hungry at all right now.

"How could such a tiny, level-four edible mushroom have managed to stay relevant until now?"

Li Yu realized that the reason he didn't feel hungry was because he had eaten that jelly mushroom earlier.

His pupil bacteria haven't digested the nutrients and energy from the jelly mushroom yet, so he doesn't feel hungry. Forcing himself to eat under these circumstances would actually have side effects.

According to his naturally acquired memories, eating when he felt hungry would have the best effect on the growth of fungi in his body.

"Li Yu, aren't you going to eat?" Qian Lili asked curiously when she saw that only Li Yu was standing to the side without eating. In her memory, Li Yu was always the most enthusiastic when it came to eating mushrooms.

Zhou Xi glanced at Qian Lili before saying while eating Ye Qingmo, "He ate jelly mushrooms earlier, so he probably doesn't feel hungry."

Li Yu nodded and said, "That's right, the effects of this jelly mushroom are indeed amazing, but how can just one of them last this long?"

"Unfortunately, this type of fourth-grade edible fungus is extremely rare and hard to come by."

A hint of regret appeared on Li Yu's face.

After all, eating level 5 edible fungi is too troublesome. Not only do you have to eat a lot at once, but you also feel hungry all the time. You have to eat at least three or four meals a day, and the taste is just so-so.

As for the level four edible fungus, one piece can sustain him for most of the day, and so far he has not felt hungry.

After the five of them had eaten their fill and rested briefly, they set off.

Fang Mingxuan was the last to leave. Looking at his once familiar home, he gently pursed his lips and carefully closed the security door. His movements were very gentle, as if he was afraid that if he used too much force, the security door would collapse completely.

Everyone else was waiting for him, and they could vaguely understand his feelings.

Fang Mingxuan closed the door and saw that everyone was waiting for him silently, so he looked apologetic.

"Let's go." Li Yu, who was in the lead, carried an iron spear and began to go downstairs.

The others followed him, filing down the river in single file.

The stairwell was quiet. Perhaps because they had been in this world for so long, everyone had gradually gotten used to the mushrooms and no longer found the ubiquitous mushroom smell so unpleasant.

Upon descending to the first floor, Li Yu could see from afar that the corpses of the ghost wolf beasts they had killed earlier had vanished.

It seems that while they were on the sixteenth floor, other fungal beasts carried away the corpses, a discovery that made Li Yu wary.

"Everyone be careful." Li Yu immediately reminded everyone, gripping the iron spear tightly in his right hand, his eyes narrowing slightly as he surveyed his surroundings.

Lin Muying, Fang Mingxuan, Zou Dapeng, and the other three also noticed that the corpses of the Ghost Wolf Beasts, which had been lying haphazardly, were gone, and their faces showed solemn expressions.

However, Li Yu did not slow down and continued to walk quickly towards the exit of the community.

Although Nanshan District is at least a dozen kilometers away, if everyone moves quickly and doesn't get delayed along the way, there is still hope of reaching Nanshan District before sunset today and finding the source of light.

He was certain that he hadn't been mistaken about what he saw on the sixteenth floor; there was something special there.

When I noticed the light source, I had a sudden and inexplicable urge to go and see what it was.

After thinking about it carefully, Li Yu understood. It was because the pupil fungus had sensed the light source. Perhaps something there had attracted the pupil fungus, which was why it suddenly had this strange and wonderful feeling.

Li Yu, who was in the lead, increased his speed, and the five people following behind also quickened their pace. Soon, they walked out of the residential area.

As they walked out of the community gate, the group of six walked south around the community. After walking only a few dozen meters, they saw a series of strange gray-black trees, at least a hundred of them.

These strange trees are about three meters tall, shaped like charcoal, without branches or leaves, only trunks as thick as large bowls, with small black mushrooms growing at the top.

The mycelium hanging down from the edges of these small black mushrooms resembles black hair, swaying gently in the breeze.

These strange black trees are located on one side of a badly damaged community wall covered with mushrooms, and on the other side are patches of giant mushrooms.

These mushrooms range in height from 70 to 80 centimeters to one or two meters. Their caps are large, with a diameter of over one meter. They are mostly white and gray in color.

As the group approached, they smelled a strong, distinctive, fishy odor characteristic of fungi.

Unable to identify the strange black trees, the group dared not approach them and instead carefully detoured around them. After passing the group of strange black trees, Li Yu discovered another, even stranger tree.

The tree is about three meters tall. Its trunk looks like a mushroom stem, and its crown is shaped like a jellyfish umbrella. Around the umbrella hang a large number of translucent tentacles that resemble jellyfish, which are swaying slightly in the wind.

"It looks like a giant jellyfish that has grown on a tree," Zhou Xigang exclaimed in amazement.

The moment those words were spoken, the translucent tentacles that had been swaying in the air suddenly lashed out violently and shot towards them.

The event was sudden and everyone was taken aback. The jellyfish's bell-shaped cap tilted upwards, and all the tentacles hidden inside shot out.

What had just been hanging out was only the tip of the iceberg of tentacles; now, at least several hundred tentacles were revealed, each seventeen or eighteen meters long. They all shot out at once, forming a dense, giant net that instantly enveloped everyone.
