The world enters the fungal world

Chapter 80 Refugees (Thanks to Huang Liangmeng for the donation)

The tall man was holding half a mushroom in his hand, putting it into his mouth, ignoring the three people who appeared in front of him, and eating the mushroom by himself.

"He's injured." The woman suddenly spoke, her eyes darting around, her gaze falling on the blood-stained sleeve of the tall man's left arm.

The man wielding the iron spear narrowed his eyes and coldly uttered, "Make your move!"

He took a sudden step forward and rushed towards the tall man sitting on the concrete rubble. His right hand thrust out the iron spear like lightning, heading straight for the tall man's chest.

Li Yu, watching from afar, was shocked. The speed at which the man with the iron spear attacked made him dizzy. With just one spear thrust, the speed was faster than his own. If he didn't use "Superhuman Capture," he would not be a match for the man with the iron spear.

The man with the iron spear thrust out with astonishing speed, but the tall man sitting there was even faster. Li Yu barely saw how he moved before he suddenly saw him stand up, holding a giant axe nearly 1.8 meters long in his right hand.

As he stood up, he resembled a human iron tower. This tall man was probably two meters tall. Despite his height, his speed was astonishing. He reached out with his left hand, grabbed the iron spear that was thrust at him, and then snatched out the giant long axe with his right hand.

With a "whoosh," a blur was left in the air. Li Yu and his four companions, who were hiding behind a clump of mushrooms in the distance, all stared wide-eyed, their expressions filled with shock.

A spurt of blood gushed out, and the head of the man wielding the iron spear flew off his neck. The tall man took a step forward, and his blood-stained giant axe traced a beautiful arc in the air before crashing down into the chest of the woman who was about to strike.

Although the woman was protected by light leather armor, the armor could not withstand the attack of the giant axe. The axe cleaved her body in two, and the axe blade slammed heavily into the ground, sinking in, with blood splattering everywhere.

The man with the spiked club's expression changed drastically. Shocked, he abruptly turned and fled into the distance.

The tall man watched the fleeing man but did not give chase. Instead, he slowly retracted his giant axe, sat down on the concrete rubble, and continued eating mushrooms, as if nothing had happened.

Li Yu and his companions, who were hiding in the distance, watched this unfold, their hearts pounding, and they dared not even breathe.

Li Yu had initially assumed the tall man was very strong after seeing him kill seven necromancy lizards, but he never expected him to be so terrifying.

It should be noted that the man wielding the iron spear attacked faster than Li Yu in his normal state, yet he was utterly helpless against this tall man.

The tall man quickly finished the mushrooms in his hand, then stood up, picked up the backpacks from the male and female corpses on the ground, and dumped them on the ground.

There were quite a few mushrooms inside, mostly various edible fungi, as well as everyday items like cleaning sprays that Li Yu had seen before.

The tall man seemed uninterested in any of this. He reached into his bag and rummaged around for a bit before searching the bodies of the man and woman. He quickly found some items and put them away.

Too far away, Li Yu couldn't see what it was clearly, but he could guess it might be gold coins. He also vaguely saw mushrooms emitting a faint white light found on the bodies of the man and woman, which stirred something in his heart.

The tall man put the mushrooms, which emitted a faint white light, into his backpack as well. Then he let out a long breath, suddenly turned his head, and looked towards where Li Yu and the others were hiding. A somewhat deep male voice came from behind him: "You've been secretly watching for so long, aren't you coming out?"

Upon hearing this voice, Li Yu and the other four were startled, realizing that the tall man had already discovered their hiding place.

The five men exchanged bewildered glances. Zhou Xigang asked in a low voice, "What should we do? Go outside?"

Li Yu thought about how fast the tall man was moving; even he couldn't see him clearly. The man's strength was far greater than that of the five of them.

If they really wanted to kill them, the five of them wouldn't be able to escape even if they tried. Thinking this way, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and come out.

Seeing Li Yu come out, Lin Muying followed suit, and Fang Mingxuan, Zhou Xigang, and Qian Lili had no choice but to come out as well.

After the five people walked around the mushroom bushes in front of them, they found that the tall man had appeared a dozen meters in front of them. It was clear that he had moved over in just a short time.

This speed was astonishing, and Li Yu and his group of five changed their expressions again. The tall man's strength was simply unfathomable.

With his strength, how could he have been injured while killing those seven gloomy lizards? Li Yu couldn't understand it.

Upon seeing Li Yu and his group of five, the tall man sized them up, a slight look of surprise on his face.

Facing each other directly, Li Yu and his group of five could clearly see the tall man's appearance.

The tall man had distinct facial features, thick eyebrows that hinted at a menacing aura, sharp eyes, and slightly dark skin. Standing there, he held a massive, blood-dripping axe that was 1.8 meters long in his right hand. Combined with his two-meter height, he exuded an unimaginable sense of powerful oppression.

But looking at his face, he appears to be very young, only around twenty years old.

"Strange, you guys—" The tall man stared at Li Yu and the other four, scrutinizing them closely. He then noticed that among the five, only Li Yu had knee pads, Zhou Xigang had leather armor, and the others were wearing ordinary clothes.

Looking at the weapons in their hands, the surprise on their faces grew stronger, and then they seemed to be deep in thought, as if they were thinking about something.

Li Yu saw that the tall man was wearing leather armor and knee pads, and that the three people who had just appeared, two men and one woman, were also wearing the same type of leather armor and knee pads. He also remembered that Xiao Gang's corpse that he had seen that day also had leather armor and knee pads. How could he not understand?

Leather armor and knee pads seem to be standard equipment for the natives of this world, and the fact that the five of them didn't have any would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the tall man.

Both men were sizing each other up when suddenly the tall man changed the subject, asking, "Are you refugees?"

"Refugees?" The five were somewhat puzzled by this term. Li Yu, a thought flashing through his mind, asked, "Why do you call us refugees?"

The tall man chuckled and said, "You don't even have basic equipment. Surely all five of you have your leather armor and knee pads damaged in the fight? Of course, the most important thing is the weapons you're carrying—"

His eyes fell on the crowbar in Fang Mingxuan's hand and the fire axe in Lin Muying's hand. Suddenly, as if he had made another discovery, he said with some surprise, "Wait, the clothes you're wearing—"

As he said this, his brows furrowed, his right thumb unconsciously rubbing his index finger, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

Li Yu felt a slight jolt, realizing that their clothes had developed many mold spots, a sign of fungal infection.

The clothes worn by the tall man in front of him did not have this condition, and he had already guessed that these indigenous people had some kind of method to protect their clothes or weapons from fungal erosion.

The tall man looked at the five people in front of him and found them increasingly strange, as if he had encountered some kind of problem, and fell into deep thought.
