Before Qian Lili could even understand what was happening or scream, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, as if steel knives were being stabbed into it. Her body felt like it had been hit by a car, and she was thrown backward instantly.

The incident was so sudden that everyone was taken aback, including Li Yu, who had been carefully observing the surroundings. He failed to notice that an elite winged fox beast was secretly hiding in the corner of the broken wall of a house not far from them.

The elite winged fox suddenly pounced, striking the unsuspecting Qian Lili. Its claws dug into her body like steel knives, and its gaping maw snapped at her neck.

With its biting power, it could tear Qian Lili's head off as soon as it bites her neck.

It was only at this moment that Qian Lili finally let out a scream.

Lin Muying stared at Qian Lili in shock, her eyes wide, and tried to rush over to save her, but it was too late.

Although she had grown to the second stage of the spore stage, it was still too late. The only thing she could do was activate "Fountain of Light".

0

The special ability of the "light fungus" enveloped everyone around, enhancing their strength and healing abilities, hoping that Qian Lili would have the power to fight back.

The veins on Li Yu's forehead throbbed as he entered "super-state capture" almost instantly.

Everything around him seemed to slow down. His right pupil locked onto the elite winged fox beast that had charged out, and he pushed off the ground with both feet, unleashing his strongest power.

At the same moment, Lin Muying's "Fountain of Light" ability swept over him, and his physical strength surged with even greater power.

With a leap, he took four strides, like a cannonball, using his own body as a weapon, instantly crashing into Qian Lili and the elite winged fox beast that pounced on her.

It was too fast, almost instantaneous. Li Yu didn't even have time to use the iron spear or crystal knife to attack; instead, he used his body as a weapon.

This combination of his full strength and the power boosted by the "Fountain of Light" created an incredibly powerful impact.

With a loud "bang," Li Yu felt his bones cracking and his blood churning. The force of the impact almost made him vomit blood, but fortunately, he was wearing leather knee pads, which mitigated some of the impact.

The elite winged fox beast that was hit fared even worse. As soon as its blood-red maw opened, its body was suddenly sent flying through the air, blood spurting from its open mouth.

Then, it and Li Yu tumbled and fell heavily to the ground.

Before the "hyper-capture" had even disappeared, Li Yu was even faster, quickly flipping himself up.

With a low growl, the iron spear in his right hand was suddenly hurled through the air like a javelin, piercing through the air and pinning the elite winged fox beast that had fallen to the ground.

Qian Lili lay on the ground, her face filled with terror. Her leather armor was torn open, and two huge, bloody wounds were ripped open on her abdomen. Several bloody marks were left on her neck.

This was caused by the fangs of an elite winged fox beast. If Li Yu had arrived even a moment later, the neck would have already been bitten open.

Having narrowly escaped death, Qian Lili collapsed to the ground, her face as pale as a corpse, utterly exhausted, unable to stand up, and her legs were wet.

"Ah—" Zhou Xigang finally realized what was happening and let out a startled exclamation.

In the distance, two figures emerged from a clump of mushrooms, rushing towards them at an astonishing speed like arrows released from a bow.

Two more elite winged fox beasts have appeared.

Everyone's expression changed.

Li Yu hurled his iron spear, pinning the elite winged fox beast that had launched the sneak attack to the ground. Without pausing, he took another step, gripping his left hand tightly as his foot-long crystallized blade extended outwards.

With the power of the "Radiant Spring," although he had withdrawn from "Hyper-Cut Capture," the "Radiant Spring" enhanced his strength, and his speed was also increased by the burst of powerful energy.

Almost instantly, he darted out, reached out with his right hand, grabbed the iron spear, and pulled it out with a spurt of blood. The elite winged fox beast that had been pinned down let out a shriek, raised its upper body, and tried to fight back.

Suddenly, a crystal-like luster flashed in the air, and a foot-long crystallized blade swept past, sending its enormous head flying off in a spray of blood.

On the other side, two elite winged fox beasts charged forward from the left and right, accompanied by terrifying howls.

Lin Muying stretched out her left hand, her skin turning to stone, and gripped the spiked club tightly with both hands, swinging it towards the two elite winged fox beasts.

Zhou Xigang and Fang Mingxuan retreated to Qian Lili's side. Although Zhou Xigang possessed the power of bone armor, he dared not attack the elite winged fox beast at close range.

He knew how powerful these elite-level fungal beasts were. With his current strength, he could handle ordinary fungal beasts, but elite-level fungal beasts were beyond his capabilities.

Fang Mingxuan gripped the crowbar in his hand and activated the "Spore Arc".

"Spore Arc" is a ranged attack; he doesn't need to get close. The arc shot out along the crowbar and struck one of the elite winged fox beasts.

With a flap of its wings, the elite winged fox-beast suddenly flashed to the side, avoiding the blue and white electric arc attack, and with a gust of wind, it instantly pounced on Fang Mingxuan.

Fang Mingxuan gripped the crowbar tightly with both hands, his lips pressed together, struggling to resist.

With a "bang," the crowbar in his hand was grabbed by the elite winged fox beast. He lost his grip, and the crowbar flew out immediately. The other beast claw came down and started to grab into his chest through his already damaged leather armor.

Fresh blood gushed out from the broken leather armor.

Li Yu rushed over almost at the same moment, and his iron spear, like a venomous snake, brought a fierce wind and slashed down from the air with a "whoosh".

The elite winged fox sensed something was wrong and dodged suddenly. Although it avoided the vital area of ​​its head, Li Yu's spear was too fast, and it could not completely dodge it. The crisp sound of bones breaking rang out as the spear struck its neck and spine.

With Li Yu's current strength, if this spear hits, the bones in its neck and spine will break and shatter, and its body will fall heavily downwards.

Li Yu rushed forward, his left hand wielding the crystallizing knife and slicing horizontally across its back as easily as cutting through tofu, leaving a line of blood on its back.

Without stopping, Li Yu charged toward another elite winged fox beast.

The elite winged fox beast lying on the ground rapidly gushed blood from the bloodline on its back, which then expanded sharply, revealing its internal organs spilling out.

That last strike severed its body at the waist, cutting it in two.

On the other side, Lin Muying attacked with all her might, swinging her spiked club with great force, hitting the elite winged fox beast twice in a row.

Although the elite winged fox beast was knocked away and crashed heavily, with blood seeping from its mouth and nose, it did not die. Instead, it quickly got up and attacked her again.

Lin Muying was secretly astonished, knowing how devastating her spiked club was when she swung it, yet this elite winged fox beast was able to block it.

Li Yu sensed something was wrong with this elite winged fox beast and rushed over. He noticed a faint metallic sheen on its body and immediately understood.

This elite winged fox beast has a steel mushroom fused within its body, similar to the insectoid beast he killed before. It possesses formidable defensive capabilities, and even his crystallized blade cannot break through its defenses.

This is also the main reason why it was able to block Lin Muying's attack.

These elite beasts are extremely difficult to kill unless you can attack their vital weakness—they lack the defenses of the Iron Mushroom.

Three fox howls rang out from behind. Zhou Xi turned his head and his expression immediately changed.

"Three more!" he couldn't help but shout.

Behind them, amidst the ruins, three more elite winged fox beasts appeared, rushing towards them at lightning speed like three bolts of lightning, each targeting Zhou Xigang, Qian Lili, and Fang Mingxuan.

Qian Lili is now lying on the ground, severely injured and unable to move. Fang Mingxuan is also seriously injured. He is no match for these elite beasts. Just now, Fang Mingxuan was injured in a single exchange. Now, three more suddenly appeared. Zhou Xigang was terrified.

The effect of "Radiant Spring" is fading.

Li Yu's expression changed drastically. He couldn't care less about helping Lin Muying anymore. He suddenly spun around, pushed off the ground with his left foot, and his legs seemed to be spring-loaded, propelling him forward instantly.

With a flick of his right hand, the iron spear left a trail of afterimages as it lashed out at the elite winged fox beast that was lunging at Qian Lili.

The elite winged fox suddenly shrank its body, narrowly avoiding the iron spear he swung at. The iron spear struck the ground with a "crack," and Li Yu's body seemed to be dragged by the iron spear, instantly rushing to the front of the elite winged fox.

The crystallized blade appeared, precisely piercing the elite winged fox beast's right eye, penetrating its skull, and emerging from behind.

With a flick of his left hand, Li Yu sent the crystal blade, carrying red and white matter, bursting out of Fang Mingxuan's head. Without stopping, he charged towards Fang Mingxuan.

At this moment, Fang Mingxuan roared angrily, his lips clenched tightly. Although he was injured and knew he was no match for this elite winged fox beast, he did not run away. Instead, he gripped the crowbar in his hands and swung it desperately, trying to attack the charging elite winged fox beast.

The elite winged fox beast was faster than him. With a swift movement, it dodged Fang Mingxuan's attack. Its claws reached out and dug into the cracks in Fang Mingxuan's tattered leather armor. Blood splattered out as the sharp claws immediately pierced through.

Li Yu rushed over at almost the same moment.

The elite winged fox beast realized something was wrong, so it grabbed Fang Mingxuan and used him as a weapon, smashing him violently towards Li Yu.

Li Yu's eyes narrowed, realizing that if he caught Fang Mingxuan, this elite winged fox beast would inevitably take the opportunity to attack, and he would not be able to deal with it in the shortest time.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xigang was being attacked by another elite winged fox beast and couldn't hold out for long.

These thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, a terrifying light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately made a decision.

The crystallized blade retracted into his left hand, which then grasped the iron spear. He clenched his hands together, ducked low to avoid Fang Mingxuan's attack, and swung the iron spear across the ground.

The elite winged fox beast was caught off guard by Li Yu's attack and had no time to react before its hind legs were instantly struck by the horizontal iron spear.

This spear, infused with the power of the crystallized bacteria in the left hand, is truly terrifying.

With the sound of bones shattering, the elite winged fox beast was instantly sent flying, its leg bones and flesh exploding together.

Fang Mingxuan was thrown heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood from his open mouth.

Li Yu leaped to his feet, took a sudden step, and jumped three meters. With both hands gripping the iron spear, he swung it down from above, bringing a sharp gust of wind with it, and with a "thud," struck the head of the elite winged fox beast that had just fallen.

The blow landed squarely, and the elite winged fox beast's head exploded like a watermelon, its bones shattered, flesh torn apart, and blood and gore flying everywhere.

Li Yu turned his head and swung his arm, the iron spear in his hand flying out like lightning, piercing through the body of the elite winged fox beast that was frantically tearing at Zhou Xigang on the other side.

The elite winged fox beast grabbed Zhou Xigang's shoulders with its claws, pinning him down, and its gaping maw snapped down towards Zhou Xigang's neck.

Whether in terms of speed or strength, the elite winged fox beast can crush Zhou Xigang.

Faced with death, Zhou Xigang was filled with fear. Knowing that he couldn't avoid it, the only thing he could think of was to raise his right arm and offer it to the gaping maw of the elite winged fox beast.

Being bitten on the right arm is better than being bitten on the neck, a vital spot.

As the elite winged fox beast's fangs fell, just as it bit Zhou Xigang's right arm, the iron spear that Li Yu threw pierced its belly like lightning, dragging it across Zhou Xigang's body and throwing it sideways.

The excruciating pain caused the elite winged fox beast to open its mouth and let out a miserable howl.

Li Yu was only a step slower than the iron spear. He leaped up and caught up, stretching out his right hand to grab the iron spear back, pulling the elite winged fox beast along with him.

With a swing of his left-hand crystallizing blade, blood splattered, and the head of the elite winged fox beast rolled off its neck.

At the same moment, Lin Muying let out a shout on the other side, finally seizing the opportunity. Despite taking a claw from the elite winged fox beast, she used her left rock claw to grab into its soft belly, which was not protected by the power of the steel mushroom, and ripped it open.

As the last elite winged fox beast fell, Li Yu and Lin Muying exchanged a glance. They both saw that the other's face was pale, his breathing was heavy, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Lin Muying saw a metallic sheen appear on the back of the elite winged fox beast she had killed. A mass of substance seeped out and condensed into a mushroom about half the size of a fist. It looked like a small mushroom made of steel, shrouded in a faint white light.

She immediately realized that this was a special mushroom, just like the rock claw mushroom she had obtained, and exactly the same as the steel mushroom that Li Yu had obtained before.

She picked up the steel mushroom, and without examining it closely, ran towards Qian Lili, whose injuries were the most severe among them.

Li Yu was about to check on Fang Mingxuan's injuries when he suddenly stopped, his heart pounding, and he abruptly turned to look behind him.

On the second-floor balcony of the mostly collapsed house behind them, a figure appeared out of nowhere, looking down at them with cold, indifferent eyes.

The suddenly appearing figure closely resembled an elite winged fox beast, but was much larger, with four semi-transparent insect wings on its back.

Inside the insect's wings were strands of dark red mycelium, like crisscrossing red veins. Its tail forked into three tails, and its eyes were crimson red like flames, coldly staring at the people below.

Lin Muying, who originally wanted to check on Qian Lili's injuries, also noticed them. Her expression changed drastically, and she immediately gripped the spiked club in her hand and went to Li Yu's side.

Both she and Li Yu looked extremely grim.

Zhou Xi, still reeling from his near-death experience, had just sat up from the ground, supporting himself with his left hand, when he suddenly saw something and screamed in terror: "A four-winged demon fox!"

His face was filled with horror.

The Four-Winged Fox is a rare D-rank fungal beast that evolves from an elite winged fox beast. It is said that only one in every hundred elite winged fox beasts can successfully evolve into it, making it far more powerful and terrifying than the elite winged fox beast.
