The world enters the fungal world

Chapter 87 Strengthening the Crystal Core (Thanks to the reader who has deleted their account for the donation)

The booklet contained records of how they were deeply impressed by each and every one of these rare fungal-infested beasts.

The moment Li Yu, Lin Muying, and Zhou Xigang saw it, their expressions all changed.

No one expected that after killing six elite winged fox beasts, a rare four-winged fox would appear.

This was also the first rare-level bactericidal beast they encountered.

The four-winged fox appeared, but did not immediately launch an attack. Its crimson eyes continuously scanned Li Yu, Lin Muying, and the six elite winged fox beast corpses on the ground.

Li Yu and Lin Muying slowly retreated to stand in front of Zhou Xigang, Fang Mingxuan, and the others.

Li Yu mentally estimated the time. Fortunately, the thirty-second interval of "hyper-capture" had passed.

"Muying, don't use the Radiant Spring carelessly. Wait until I tell you to activate it before you use it—"

Li Yu whispered that since the thirty-second interval of his "Superhuman Capture" had passed, Lin Muying's "Fountain of Light" could naturally be used again.

He only has one or two seconds of "superhuman capture". If he cannot kill his opponent within that time, then everything is over.

His palms slowly began to sweat; he could only afford a second or two, and he couldn't afford to make the slightest mistake.

Lin Muying nodded and hummed in agreement, biting her lip, a nervous expression on her face.

The four-winged fox on the balcony finally moved, leaping into the air with a sudden burst of speed, its four semi-transparent insect wings unfurling simultaneously.

Compared to the elite winged fox beast, its four insect wings are much larger, with a wingspan of an astonishing four meters when spread out.

Li Yu and Lin Muying almost simultaneously moved forward from the left and right, hoping to take advantage of the four-winged fox's leap into the air and its inability to maneuver and dodge, to deliver a fatal attack.

Li Yu's iron spear and Lin Muying's spiked club slammed down on the four-winged fox that was gliding down almost simultaneously.

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept through, and the four wings of the four-winged fox demon spread out and lashed out. Li Yu's iron spear and Lin Muying's spiked club were struck by the wings as if hit by heavy objects.

Li Yu's face showed surprise, and his palms were burning hot. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and immediately grabbed the spear shaft with his left hand, entering a crystallization state, which prevented the iron spear from slipping out of his hand and being knocked away.

Lin Muying's reaction wasn't as swift as his. She only felt the spiked club in her hand tremble violently and fly out of her grasp. The terrifying force even dragged her backward, and her face instantly changed color.

This four-winged fox demon is terrifying. With just a flap of its four insect wings, it was able to knock away the weapons in their hands. What incredible power that is!

With its four claws on the ground, the four insect wings on the back of the four-winged fox suddenly retracted and adhered to its back. It stood upright and took a step forward like a human, its target being the stumbling Lin Muying.

It was clear that it could tell that Lin Muying was weaker than Li Yu, so it chose to kill Lin Muying first.

The four-winged fox was too fast; its sudden forward movement made Li Yu's vision blur. Sensing danger, he immediately roared, "Activate!"

This four-winged fox demon was far faster and stronger than him and Lin Muying. If they didn't go all out, they might be killed by it in an instant.

Almost at the same time that the fierce roar caused Lin Muying to activate "Fountain of Light", he had already entered "Superhuman Capture".

With its speed doubling, the four-winged fox demon figure that had previously dazzled him immediately slowed down. At the same moment, Lin Muying also activated "Fountain of Light," a vortex of light enveloping Li Yu and supplying him with a continuous stream of power.

Whether it's movement speed, attack speed, reaction speed, or the speed of thought, everything is doubling. Li Yu feels the powerful energy surging out of his body, and at this moment, he is in his strongest state in recent days.

Almost instantly, he leaped into the air, gripping the iron spear tightly with both hands. A beastly growl escaped his throat, his eyes narrowed, and a faint black light flickered in his right eye. He swept the iron spear horizontally, creating a whistling sound as it cut through the air.

The four-winged fox demon that pounced on Lin Muying tilted its head slightly, and one of its crimson eyes looked at Li Yu who was approaching. There was a strange light flashing in that crimson eye.

It seemed as well as surprised that this human's speed had suddenly increased so dramatically, even becoming no slower than its own.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and Li Yu's iron spear swung down squarely on its head.

Even if it is a rare-grade fungal beast, as long as it is hit by his spear with all his strength, its head will split open and explode into a bloody mess in an instant.

The insect wings that were originally tightly folded against its back opened again. Li Yu's speed was too fast, so fast that even a rare-level fungal beast could not dodge in time and could only open its insect wings and swat at the falling iron spear.

Li Yu's face showed a look of shock. Although his speed was doubled in "Super Capture", the four-winged fox still managed to open its insect wings and strike the iron spear.

A tremendous force struck the iron spear horizontally, and Li Yu suddenly loosened his grip, letting the iron spear, which had been struck by the insect's wing, fly out of his hands.

The four-winged fox raised one of its front paws and lashed out with lightning speed.

With a "hiss," sharp claws pierced Li Yu's chest and abdomen like steel blades.

At the same moment, Li Yu grabbed the claw that the four-winged fox demon was reaching for with his right hand and pulled it sharply to the side.

Blood splattered as the claws piercing his chest and abdomen sliced ​​through his flesh.

The four-winged fox retracted its claws and dragged Li Yu toward it. Its gaping maw opened, revealing sharp fangs. With its terrifying bite force, it could crush Li Yu's head in one bite.

With this pull and tug, the two forces combined, and Li Yu used this force to pull his legs back, sliding his body almost flat on the ground under the belly of the four-winged fox demon.

A crystallized blade appeared in his left hand, and using this momentum, he slashed along the soft belly of the four-winged fox.

A large amount of fresh blood mixed with intestines gushed out of the ruptured abdomen.

Then, the four-winged fox demon realized what was happening and suddenly let out a sharp, piercing howl, its voice becoming extremely mournful.

It was a rare-grade fungal-infused beast. Suddenly, it seemed to go berserk, its four wings flapping violently behind it. Its body was almost lifted up by an invisible, powerful force. It turned around and stretched out its claws to grab Li Yu, who was sliding along the ground.

Its abdomen was almost completely ripped open by the crystallizing knife, and then it was frantically flapping its wings and turning its body, the enormous force causing all of its internal organs to be flung out.

Before its outstretched claws could even grasp Li Yu, its body suddenly shuddered violently, and it froze in place.

Li Yu lay on the ground, his chest covered in blood. He stared at the four-winged fox demon in front of him, which had flung its own internal organs out of its body, and only then did a trace of color return to his pale face.

He knew he had made the right bet.

All of this was within his calculations. The iron spear seemed to be attacking with all its might, but it was actually just a feint. Even when he was injured by the four-winged fox's claw, he traded the injury for a chance to strike, and finally delivered the fatal blow.

He understood that with the four-winged fox's terrifying speed and reaction, even if he entered "hyper-capture," it would be difficult to kill it within a second or two. Its speed was no slower than his own in "hyper-capture," and its strength far surpassed his own.

His "hyper-capture" can only last for one or two seconds. If he fails to kill it within those two seconds, he will die. So he has no choice but to gamble with his life.

Fortunately, he won his gamble. Because he reacted quickly and avoided vital areas, the claw attack he just suffered wasn't too serious.

Watching the four-winged fox sway its body twice, then raise one front paw as if it wanted to attack, it only took one step before suddenly collapsing heavily to the ground.

The foot-long crystallized blade almost completely severed its body from its abdomen. The fact that it didn't die instantly was already a testament to its incredible vitality. It even tried to move and attack Li Yu, which only hastened its demise.

Seeing the four-winged fox spirit fall to the ground, lifeless and motionless, Li Yu finally let out a long sigh of relief, and his head, which had been tilted back, fell back down.

After a series of battles, first against six elite winged fox beasts, and now against a rare four-winged demon fox, he used "Superhuman Capture" twice. He put all his strength into almost every attack, and coupled with the injuries he had just sustained, Li Yu's body finally reached its limit.

Seeing Li Yu collapse with blood streaming from his chest, Lin Muying was startled and rushed over to check on him.

"Li Yu, how are you?"

Li Yu shook his head, indicating that he was fine. Although he was seriously injured, he had managed to avoid vital organs, and with the amazing healing ability of the "Radiant Spring," he would be fully recovered in less than half a day.

His eyes remained fixed on the corpse of the four-winged fox demon.

This rare four-winged fox is far stronger than elite beasts. Could it be that it has special fungi fused within its body?

Just as this thought crossed Li Yu's mind, he saw a soft white light emanating from the split belly of the four-winged fox demon.

Within the flesh and internal organs, countless fine white rays of light moved about. Soon, these white rays merged into one, peeled off from the flesh and internal organs, rolled onto the ground, and transformed into a white crystal core only slightly larger than a fingernail.

Li Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately struggled to his feet, picking up the white crystal core.

The moment his hand touched the white crystal core, the pupil bacteria in his body reacted, and the crystallization bacteria in his left hand naturally activated, instantly causing his left hand to recrystallize.

Li Yu understood somewhat, and then used his crystallized left hand to grasp the small white crystal core.

As soon as he held the white crystal core in his hand, it immediately resonated with his crystallized left hand, generating a faint heat flow.

The surface of this white crystal nucleus extends from dense, luminescent hyphae, which are thinner than a hair and almost invisible to the naked eye.

At this moment, these luminescent hyphae are penetrating and spreading into his crystallized left hand. As more and more luminescent hyphae extend out, the small white crystal nucleus is rapidly shrinking.

Finally, the white crystal core completely disappeared, turning into glowing mycelium that merged into his crystallized left hand.

Li Yu looked at the incredible scene unfolding on his left hand, took a deep breath, and a memory naturally entered his mind.

Make him understand that the real name of this white crystal core is "enhanced crystal core".

Only fungal beasts that have lived for many years can accumulate fungal power within their bodies over time, eventually forming a special fungal energy crystal that can be used to strengthen specific fungi, hence the name "strengthening crystal core".

Li Yu raised his left hand, feeling the powerful energy he had just gained. His eyes gleamed, and a look of excitement appeared on his face.

His crystallizing bacteria were enhanced, and his left hand also crystallized, but at this moment, a faint white halo appeared on the surface of his crystallized left hand.

With a clench of his left hand, the crystallized blade extended outwards. As it was strengthened, the crystallized blade also changed, with its maximum length increasing from one foot to one and a half feet, and the thickness and width of the blade also increasing.

If the previous crystallized knife could be considered a dagger, then the current crystallized knife truly lives up to its name, at least equivalent to a short knife.

Not only has the size increased, but Li Yu can also feel that the hardness and toughness of the crystallized knife have been greatly improved.

Lin Muying watched as Li Yu fused the white crystal core into his left hand, a look of surprise on her face. After confirming that Li Yu was alright, she turned and ran towards Qian Lili.

Of the injured, Qian Lili's injuries were the most serious.

Lili.

Lin Muying was shocked to see the wound on Qian Lili's abdomen. Fortunately, she pressed the wound with her hand, and the powerful healing ability was working wonders. Although the injury was serious, her life was saved.
