The world enters the fungal world

Chapter 85 A Terrifying Being (Thanks to Youya for the donation)

Lin Muying and Zhou Xigang and the others also saw it.

Li Yu noticed that the six jelly mushrooms had a faint halo around their surfaces, making them stand out among the other mushroom plants.

Everyone fell silent, staring intently at the mushrooms.

Jelly mushrooms, a level four edible fungus, not only taste much better than level five edible fungi, but one jelly mushroom is enough to meet their daily nutritional and energy needs.

"Damn, am I seeing things? There are six jelly mushrooms."

Zhou Xigang was a little excited. He couldn't help but look around, gripped the iron spear in his right hand, and prepared to step forward.

Li Yu suddenly raised the iron spear in his hand and blocked Zhou Xigang with a horizontal block.

"What?" Zhou Xigang was taken aback and turned to look at Li Yu.

Li Yu shook his head and said, "Don't be impulsive, something's strange."

"What's strange about it?" Zhou Xi was taken aback, but he stopped and looked at the six jelly mushrooms again.

These jelly mushrooms grew in the open space between several mushroom trees. After careful comparison, he was able to confirm that these six plants were indeed jelly mushrooms.

Lin Muying frowned slightly. She trusted Li Yu. Since Li Yu said there was something strange, there must be a problem, so she was also observing carefully.

After confirming that the six jelly mushrooms were safe, she looked around again and found a bunch of strange objects not far away, in addition to the mushroom trees.

These objects appear to be a mixture of many things, from which one can barely discern a spearhead, a backpack strap, and some leather objects that seem to be made of materials similar to leather armor and knee pads.

However, with these things fused together, it's difficult to discern their original form.

"Li Yu, are you referring to those things that are fused together when you say something strange?" Lin Muying asked softly, pointing into the distance.

Li Yu nodded, a solemn expression on his face, and said, "Those things look like they were made by refining and fusing iron spears, backpacks, and leather knee pads together, but these things were not completely refined, and some were left behind."

Zhou Xigang hummed in agreement and said, "Now that you mention it, it does seem somewhat similar, but—what does that mean?"

He frowned, then pondered, "Could it be—"

Qian Lili asked curiously, "What? These jelly mushrooms are too rare. We should pick the mushrooms first, and then discuss the rest later."

Zhou Xigang didn't move, but shook his head instead. Li Yu suddenly walked to the side, crystallized his left hand, grabbed a large piece of gravel with many small mushrooms growing on its surface, and threw it violently.

He was now incredibly strong, and the large piece of rock, along with the small mushrooms, flew far away with a whoosh, its target being the six jelly mushrooms.

Qian Lili couldn't help but gasp. If those pebbles really hit them, these jelly mushrooms would definitely be smashed to pieces.

With a "bang," the pebbles didn't hit the jelly mushrooms, but instead fell next to them and hit the ground.

The ground that was hit suddenly collapsed, forming a terrifying deep pit, and the six jelly mushrooms, along with the piece of rubble, vanished instantly.

The ground around it narrows inward, like a large, round mouth closing towards the center.

Rows of translucent mushroom tendrils emerged from inside, with translucent sap flowing from them, and the surrounding mushroom tree was shaking violently.

It seems that an unimaginable, terrifying entity is lurking underground, writhing and shaking these mushroom trees.

Fortunately, the area of ​​violent fluctuations was only about ten meters in diameter, and areas further away were unaffected.

Qian Lili opened her mouth wide, her face full of astonishment, and she could no longer speak.

Zhou Xigang's face was very ugly. If Li Yu hadn't suddenly blocked him, the consequences would have been unimaginable if he had gone to pick the jelly mushrooms and stepped inside.

Soon, the violent fluctuations subsided, and the previously contracted center suddenly opened up again, spewing out a cloud of mud-like substance that was pushed aside and landed right next to the piles of fused material.

Li Yu understood that this was the large piece of gravel he had just thrown in. In a short time, the gravel had melted into a muddy substance and was then expelled as a non-nutritive impurity.

Then, the ground slowly began to undulate, and the six collapsed jelly mushrooms slowly reappeared, and the ground returned to its original quiet state.

Witnessing all this, Qian Lili gasped and murmured, "I understand now, there's a monster hiding under these jelly mushrooms, and those fused substances are what it spewed out—"

Li Yu slowly said, "That's right. The broken spear tip, the backpack, and the leather knee pads were all melted down and spat out as impurities. The owner of these things must have been swallowed by it."

Lin Muying took a deep breath and said, "Even those six jelly mushrooms might not be real mushrooms, but rather bait. It seems that the thing hidden underground cannot be moved, so it can only passively set traps here to lure prey in and then hunt it."

Li Yu said, "Let's go, let's go around this place. This mushroom forest is too dangerous. Nobody knows what's hidden inside. Compared to that, dealing with the fungal beasts is much easier."

After saying that, he turned and walked to the other side. Although it would take more time to go around, after witnessing the terrible scene just now, who would dare to enter casually?

"So, does this mean we need to be careful when picking edible fungi next time we see them?"

Qian Lili became increasingly frightened as she thought about it. There were clearly six jelly mushrooms; how could an ordinary person be on guard? No one could have imagined that a monster was lurking beneath them.

Li Yu shook his head and said, "Actually, if you look closely, you can tell the difference. These six jelly mushrooms look very similar, but if you look closely, you can see that the surface of these mushrooms has a faint glow, which real jelly mushrooms do not have."

Lin Muying smiled wryly and said, "Li Yu, we can't see this kind of light."

Li Yu was taken aback, and then realized that his right eye was different from theirs, and he could see many things that they couldn't.

Qian Lili said with lingering fear, "This time we were so lucky to have Li Yu, otherwise we would have definitely gone to pick those jelly mushrooms, and then we would have been doomed."

She looked at Li Yu and said, "Li Yu, you're the best. You saved us again."

Li Yu was overwhelmed by her praise and could only shake his head in silence, quickening his pace forward.

The group took a detour, keeping a safe distance from the mushroom forest, when suddenly, roars and screams of beasts echoed from afar.

Li Yu's heart skipped a beat. He walked around a house that was half collapsed in front of him. In the distance, he could vaguely see four figures and a pack of ghost wolf beasts. The ground was littered with the corpses of ghost wolf beasts.

Among this pack of ghost wolf beasts, there were five enormous ones, which were elite-level fungus-crowned ghost wolf beasts. The four figures surrounding them were incredibly fast, charging back and forth among these ghost wolf beasts, causing one after another to scream and fall to the ground.

"So strong—" Zhou Xigang's eyes widened.

Li Yu stopped and did not approach any further. Instead, he stepped aside, signaling everyone to hide, and then observed the four people from a distance.

The four people, three men and one woman, were all around twenty years old, with the woman being the most astonishing in strength.

Although Li Yu was far away, he could still vaguely make out that the woman was not ugly, but rather pretty. She had short hair and wore leather armor and knee pads. What attracted his attention the most was the weapon in her right hand.

The weapon resembled a whip, as if it had grown out of her right hand. It was flexible and retractable, with a faint white light shining through its surface. Every time she swung it, it seemed as if a white light was flashing.

The power of this whip was unbelievable. Li Yu watched as the woman lashed out with it, and it was like a white lightning bolt, sometimes reaching as far as two meters away.

The elite-level Fungal Crown Spectral Wolf was struck by the whip, and the flesh on its body immediately exploded, creating a shocking bloody hole, as if it had been hit by a bomb.

Li Yu's face turned solemn. Although he didn't know what kind of whip the woman was using, it was definitely not a normal weapon like the iron spear or long knife they had.

The elite-level Fungal Crown Wolf Beast was almost powerless against her whip.

She quickly killed four of the five Fungal Crown Spectral Wolves by herself, and the remaining spectral wolves scattered in disarray. They chased after the last elite spectral wolves and soon disappeared into a mushroom forest in the distance.

Only after they disappeared did Li Yu and the other four emerge.

Zhou Xigang said in shock, "That woman's weapon is amazing."

Li Yu pondered for a moment and said, "It's possible that it's not an ordinary weapon, but rather something like a special kind of fungus. Of course, it could also be some kind of weapon created in this world, but that possibility is very small."

"I also think it's unlikely to be a manufactured weapon. It's more likely to be a special kind of fungus. It's incredibly powerful. I wonder what kind of fungus it is—"

Zhou Xigang was full of exasperation, and increasingly looked forward to entering the second stage of the spore stage so that he could integrate with special fungi.

Fang Danxuan pursed his lips, his eyes gleaming with longing. He too wanted to become stronger. Only when he was strong enough could he enter Lingxu City and have any hope of finding Xiaoyue and her child, as well as his own parents and relatives.

"Let's go, we shouldn't be far from the supply point. Let's try to get there before dark."

Li Yu's face showed a solemn expression: "The closer we get to the supply point, the more likely we are to encounter those natives. We must be extremely careful."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Lin Muying added, "Perhaps the biggest threat to us isn't the fungal beasts, but rather these natives. In any case, we should try to avoid them."

Qian Lili muttered, "But won't we still run into them when we get to the supply point? There's no point in avoiding them now."

She was a little confused. Since it was called a supply point, there must be a lot of indigenous people there. Once they arrived at the supply point, they would definitely have to deal with these indigenous people.

Li Yu glanced at her, about to explain, when Zhou Xigang interrupted, "Idiot, if it's called a supply point, there must be order there. At least it shouldn't be like this where people can just kill each other at will."

Qian Lili was still somewhat unconvinced and said, "That's not necessarily true—"

Just as she finished speaking, a figure suddenly leaped out from the half-collapsed wall of the house not far away, flapping its translucent insect wings and instantly attacking her.
