The world enters the fungal world

Chapter 69 The Crying Baby

The speed was too fast. Although everyone had entered the spore stage, they did not have time to dodge or resist. They could only look up in shock and watch helplessly as the sky full of translucent tentacles suddenly fell and was about to cover them in the blink of an eye.

Even Li Yu, who reacted the fastest among them, didn't have time to dodge or defend. He only had time to think and activate "Superhuman Capture".

Upon entering "hyper-capture," his mental reaction and movement speed instantly doubled. In his eyes, the speed of the semi-transparent tentacles that were descending from the sky suddenly slowed down, and everything around him seemed to have suddenly entered a slow-motion scene.

He lowered his body, pushed off the ground with both feet, and lunged forward. While dodging the hundreds of tentacles that shot down, he gripped the iron spear in his right hand and crystallized his left hand to hold the spear tightly.

With a slight sound, the crystallized left hand seemed to be welded to the iron spear, becoming one with the spear handle.

With a roar, he gripped the iron spear tightly with both hands and swung it horizontally at the stalk-like trunk of the strange tree in front of him.

All of this happened in an instant. The tentacles shooting down from above were too fast and the time was too short. Li Yu didn't even have time to pounce on the tree trunk and use the crystallization blade. He could only grip the iron spear tightly with both hands and use all his strength to sweep it horizontally from a distance.

With a deafening roar, the iron spear struck the tree trunk with incredible force, causing the trunk to burst open with translucent sap and instantly break in two.

The force was so great that even the spear shaft bent into an arc, but fortunately, the iron spear was extremely resilient and straightened up in an instant.

The three-meter-tall jellyfish tree shook violently, and with a cracking sound, it wobbled and fell to one side.

After the "hyper-capture" ended, Li Yu returned to normal. He looked at the jellyfish tree trunk in front of him, which he had broken with his spear. He had not expected that the attack using the power of the crystallized bacteria in his left hand would be so terrifying.

Before Lin Muying and Fang Mingxuan could even react, their faces still showing shock, the large tree in front of them suddenly snapped and fell to the ground, with a large amount of translucent sap gushing out from the broken trunk.

The tentacles that had been flying in all directions lost their vitality and began to twist and entangle each other frantically, as if they were struggling to survive. The translucent jellyfish bells, as if they had lost moisture, quickly turned from translucent to grayish-white.

Qian Lili stared in disbelief, clutching the hem of her clothes tightly, and muttered, "That scared me to death, Li Yu, you're amazing."

Lin Muying and Fang Mingxuan's faces were also somewhat pale. In that instant, they had no time to react. If Li Yu hadn't suddenly sprang up and broken the tree trunk, they would have been hit by the tentacles flying everywhere, and no one knew what the consequences would have been.

Zhou Xigang pursed his lips, thinking to himself that it was nothing special, but he quickly dismissed the thought. He had to admit that Li Yu had saved them.

"Is this thing a tree or an animal? It can actually launch attacks..."

Zou Dapeng couldn't help but touch his neck, feeling a chill run down his back. This world was becoming more and more terrifying. Not only were there fungal beasts, but even this plant that resembled a tree could launch an attack.

That booklet didn't record what this strange tree, which looked like a jellyfish and a mushroom, was.

Li Yu withdrew the crystallizing knife from his left hand, stretched his right arm, and said, "Let's go. Everyone be careful. If you see any more strange plants, try to stay away."

He had used too much force in his attack, and his arms were slightly numb from the recoil. Although the jellyfish tree looked large, its trunk was actually hollow and filled with a semi-transparent liquid, which was why he was able to break it in two with a single spear thrust.

As the translucent sap flowed out completely, the twisted and tangled tentacles on the ground finally stopped moving, turning from translucent to a withered black.

Before long, their surfaces will be covered with fuzzy fungal seeds, blending them into this mushroom jungle.

Everyone nodded in agreement with Li Yu's words and continued on their way. This time, they became even more cautious, avoiding the huge trees in the distance and staying as close to the buildings as possible.

In contrast to the relatively well-preserved buildings around the Century Garden Hotel, many buildings in this area show signs of damage, and the damage is getting worse.

More mushrooms of all kinds grew in these damaged buildings, as well as some parasitic plants that grew on them. Almost all of them were species that no one had ever seen before, and they were all very strange.

After walking for a while, Li Yu suddenly stopped, raised his eyes slightly, and heard a sound coming from not far away.

Lin Muying, who was right behind him, also heard it. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she asked, "Did you hear anything?"

Qian Lili nodded hurriedly and said, "I think I heard the sound of a baby crying."

As soon as she said that, Fang Mingxuan immediately stepped forward and looked to the distance to his left.

After learning that Wang Xiaoyue was not dead and had given birth to their child, Fang Mingxuan's mentality changed drastically, and he reacted strongly, especially to the baby.

Upon hearing Qian Lili mention the sound of a baby crying, he also heard the sound of a baby crying from afar on his left. He couldn't resist the urge to go and see what was going on.

Li Yu suddenly reached out and stopped him, whispering, "Don't be reckless."

Of all the people, he had the best hearing and heard it most clearly. There was indeed the sound of a baby crying behind the giant mushrooms in the distance to the left.

"It's really strange to hear a baby crying in this kind of place all of a sudden." Li Yu's eyes flashed with a cold light as he stared at the giant mushroom forest in front of him, his expression solemn.

Fang Mingxuan said anxiously, "Li Yu, no matter how strange it is, we have to go and see. What if there really is a baby in need of help?"

Seeing Fang Mingxuan's anxious expression, Li Yu knew he couldn't stop him, so he could only sigh and say, "I know, everyone be careful. Mingxuan, stay behind me. No matter what you see, don't act impulsively."

Fang Mingxuan pursed his lips and nodded, indicating that he understood.

Li Yu took a deep breath and walked towards the direction from which the baby's cries came from on the left.

Fortunately, his "hyper-state capture" has already been restored, so if there is any danger, he can enter the hyper-state at any time.

Seeing Li Yu's seriousness, everyone became wary.

As they drew closer, the baby's cries grew louder and louder, and a look of astonishment appeared on everyone's faces.

It didn't sound like the cry of a single baby, but rather like the cries of many babies together, their voices rising and falling, which sounded indescribably eerie here.

Based on the sound, it's certain that it came from behind this giant mushroom in front of us.

Li Yu slowed down, gripped the iron spear tightly with his right hand, and entered the crystallization process with his left hand, creating a foot-long crystallized blade. He was ready to strike at any moment if he detected any danger.

After bypassing the mushroom clumps, Li Yu saw a red brick wall that had partially collapsed, covered with green vines.

These vines are covered with a large number of fleshy white, gourd-shaped fruits, the surface of which has textured patterns resembling the face of a fetus.

The cries of those babies came from these gourd-shaped fruits.

Everyone stared in disbelief, then looked at each other, all with bewildered expressions.

No one expected that these gourd fruits could produce a sound that was very similar to a baby crying.

Just then, a faint voice suddenly rang in Li Yu's mind.

"I'm so hungry... I'm so cold... I need a hug..."
