The world enters the fungal world

Chapter 109 Fusion and Incubation (Thanks to ricky007 for the donation)

He possesses ranged attacks, allowing him to attack from a distance without needing to get close to the monster.

Seeing that Fang Mingxuan had made a move, Qian Lili also activated the giant hook fungus in her hand, revealing a giant hook, and swung it at one of the giant slugs.

Although Li Yu was surrounded and attacked by four rare beasts at the same time, he did not panic. However, he did not expect Fang Mingxuan and Qian Lili to make a move suddenly. Fearing that they would be in danger if the situation dragged on, he did not hesitate and immediately activated "Superhuman Capture".

Entering the super-state, everything around him suddenly slowed down in his eyes. At his current advanced spore stage, his speed was already no slower than these rare beasts, and now it doubled again, making his speed astonishing.

To everyone else, Li Yu suddenly swayed, leaving an afterimage in his place.

Almost at the same moment, the head of a splitting fungal spider, along with the white liquid inside its body, flew out.

The crowd couldn't keep up with Li Yu's speed, and they couldn't even see how the Earth-Splitting Spider was killed.

Meanwhile, Li Yu's crystallization knife in his right hand had already slashed down along the mouthparts of the second Earth-Splitting Fungal Spider.

With a crystal-clear luster, the crystallized blade flashed through the air, and Li Yu thrust out the iron spear in his left hand, piercing through the belly of a giant slug.

In the blink of an eye, Fang Mingxuan's spore arc had barely struck the air when three of the four rare-grade fungal beasts attacking Li Yu died.

The remaining giant slugs didn't even understand what had happened; they only knew that their target had suddenly vanished.

The next moment, it felt a sharp pain in its abdomen as Li Yu's crystallized knife pierced through its body.

With his left hand holding an iron spear and his right hand holding a crystallized blade, he pierced through the two giant slugs almost simultaneously. Then, he abruptly withdrew his blades and retreated, exiting the "hyper-capture" state. All four rare fungal beasts were dead.

Lin Muying, Zhou Xigang, and the others were dumbfounded.

Of the eight rare beasts that appeared, seven died, leaving only the last one, the Bloodsucking Moth Beast, stuck in the mycelium and struggling desperately on the ground.

Li Yu swung his iron spear with his left hand, sending it flying and striking a vital spot inside the body, pinning it to the mountain of corpses.

Li Yu didn't bother to carefully examine whether there were any enhanced crystal cores or symbiotic bacteria on the monster corpses. Instead, he took a step and went to the pile of fused blocks in the central pit.

A crystallization blade appeared in his right hand, and he carefully cut the body parts apart.

Under the "Eye of Truth and Delusion," Li Yu quickly and precisely dissected the body parts, revealing the cocoons of light hidden within.

The other four people, seeing Li Yu's actions, curiously gathered around.

They discovered that Li Yu seemed to know there was something inside those body parts; he cut them open, and then something appeared inside.

This is a cocoon about half the size of a fist, with a faint yellowish-brown surface, looking as if it is formed by countless fine, hair-like yellowish-brown threads interwoven together.

Li Yu can use the "Eye of Truth and Delusion" to discover that it looks like a cocoon of light, with a yellowish-brown liquid of light hidden inside. When the "Eye of Truth and Delusion" is put away, what is seen is a yellowish-brown cocoon.

It looks ordinary and unremarkable, with nothing special about it, and you can't even sense much vitality in it.

If Li Yu hadn't possessed the "Eye of Truth and Delusion," he would never have imagined that this inconspicuous thing was hidden within this mountain of corpses, and that the fact that these corpses had turned into mummies was all related to it.

The giant squid and the rotting human-faced mushroom also originated from it, while the thousand-faced mushroom mother grows on this mountain of corpses, seemingly guarding it.

After all, the cocoon was hidden inside the body of the other half of the Thousand-Faced Mushroom Mother, which had merged with Toyama.

My mind was filled with doubts, and strong thoughts surged into my head, followed by memories flooding back.

Li Yu understood that Tong Jun was excited and was telling him something.

"I see."

Without hesitation, Li Yu peeled the gray iron fungus off his left hand, then cut his left hand and dripped his blood onto the cocoon.

Based on the information obtained from the pupil fungus, this cocoon should also be a type of symbiotic fungus, so if it wants to merge, it must first detach a type of symbiotic fungus.

Moreover, unlike the direct fusion of ordinary symbiotic bacteria, fusion with this cocoon requires his blood as a catalyst.

As his blood dripped onto it, it immediately seeped into the yellowish-brown mycelium and disappeared.

The next moment, Li Yu sensed a faint life force emanating from the cocoon, a feeling of being connected to him by flesh and blood.

He grasped the cocoon and watched as the yellowish-brown mycelium on its surface began to seep into his left hand, quickly disappearing completely into his palm.

The other four were watching, their eyes filled with envy. They weren't stupid; they could tell that this symbiotic bacteria must be very special.

The primal bacteria within their bodies were also excited, wanting to possess it. Unfortunately, this was something Li Yu had obtained, and they couldn't possibly compete for it; they could only suppress their inner urges.

The cocoon completely merged into his left hand and disappeared. The next moment, Li Yu felt that the cocoon did not stay in his left hand, but extended upward along his left arm.

Although he couldn't see it, he could feel it, like a warm current flowing up his left arm and quickly entering his heart.

Li Yu was startled and immediately activated the "Eye of Truth and Delusion".

In his "eye of truth and falsehood," he saw a cocoon of light appear in the area of ​​his heart. This cocoon seemed to merge with his heart before fading away.

Li Yu tried to sense the cocoon of light and activate its power, but unfortunately, there was no response.

"What happened? Did the fusion fail?"

Li Yu frowned slightly and tried to fuse with the gray iron fungus again, but found that he could not fuse with it. It seemed that his fusion with the cocoon was successful.

But why can't I sense it now?

Even Tongjun didn't give him any information this time.

He put away his "Eye of Truth and Falsehood" and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"The fusion was successful, so what's missing in this situation now? —"

Just as Li Yu had this thought, he suddenly felt a wave of hunger.

On a whim, I took out a jelly mushroom and ate it.

The jelly-like mushroom I ate turned into a warm current, which didn't rush into my right eye, but instead flowed towards my heart, which quickly absorbed it.

Li Yu understood that these symbiotic bacteria were too special; they not only required a drop of blood to fuse, but also needed a strong supply of energy and nutrients.

"I see, no wonder it looks like a cocoon, this thing hasn't hatched yet."

The thought popped into Li Yu's mind: this symbiotic bacterium was too special, unlike any other symbiotic bacterium he had ever seen before.

Feeling the warmth in his heart slowly dissipate, he let out a soft sigh.

It's not that things are bad just because there's a problem. As for the simple energy supply, although level 4 edible fungi are hard to find, level 5 edible fungi are everywhere.

"Li Yu, what exactly is that?" After looking at it for a long time, Zhou Xigang finally couldn't hold back any longer.

Li Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know yet. This thing is a bit different from other symbiotic bacteria. It's still in the form of a cocoon. It may need to hatch before we know."

"So amazing?" The four of them were both curious and surprised when they heard this, but judging from the appearance of the cocoon, it was definitely a powerful symbiotic fungus.

Zhou Xigang said enviously, "Li Yu, you're so lucky! You managed to find this cocoon even though it was hidden here."

He was both envious and frustrated, thinking that he should be the main character, but Li Yu got all the good stuff.

Li Yu ignored Zhou Xigang and instead opened the "Eye of Truth and Delusion" again, carefully looking around.

With so many corpses piled up here, could there have been some kind of enhanced crystal cores or symbiotic bacteria left behind before these corpses died?

With this idea in mind, Li Yu carefully observed his surroundings. Under his "eyes of truth and falsehood," all illusions could be seen through.

Unfortunately, upon closer inspection, apart from the four enhanced crystal cores found in the corpses of the rare fungal beasts he had just killed, he found nothing else.

As for the other piles of corpses, even if there are any remaining enhanced crystal cores or symbiotic bacteria, they will be slowly absorbed and digested by the mycelial network that covers the ground and inside these corpses over this long period of time.

Seeing that Li Yu was standing still, silently observing his surroundings without saying a word, Lin Muying picked up the four enhancement crystal cores. Instead of fusing them herself, she handed them to Li Yu.

These rare beasts were killed by Li Yu, so the spoils should naturally belong to him. Although Zhou Xigang was a little envious, he also knew the importance of uniting with his companions and could not rashly try to snatch them, unless Li Yu was willing to share one or two with him.

Just as Li Yu was about to reach out and take it, he suddenly heard a sound from not far away. He turned his head sharply and saw that two thick, dark red fungal tentacles had somehow appeared in the abyss to the left of the mountain of corpses.

The five people were startled when they saw it and instinctively backed away. Then, more tentacles reached out and reached up.

The giant squid, which had already fallen into the sea of ​​lava and fire, actually climbed back up.

After it climbed up, it seemed to have exhausted all its strength, and its huge body lay sprawled on the mountain of corpses like a lump of mud.

All five thought it had been swallowed by the lava, but to their utter surprise, it was able to climb out again. In their shock, they discovered that although it had climbed up, its condition seemed to be very wrong.

The giant tentacles were rotten and decaying, and a black mist of death swirled around the squid-like giant head.

The head was mostly rotten, and even one of the eyeballs, which was larger than a basketball, had rotted and drooped, with only a fungal vein connecting it to the head.

The group looked at each other and realized that the corpse energy of the Thousand-Faced Mushroom Mother had entered its brain, and its body was being corroded and rotten by the corpse energy. Although it had managed to climb out of the abyss lava with all its might, it was already exhausted and not far from death.

Thinking this through, the five were no longer afraid. They neither fled nor approached, but simply watched silently.

The giant squid's body was slightly contracting, and its tentacles were wriggling with difficulty, as if it wanted to crawl towards the direction where the people were standing.

It was still struggling in its death throes, seemingly trying to obtain the cocoon. Its remaining single eye was still gleaming with a dim light as it looked towards Li Yu.

It seemed to have caught a whiff of the cocoon inside Li Yu's body.

Li Yu felt a chill run down his spine.

The mycelial tentacles were already rotten and decayed, and as it struggled, several of them broke off from their roots.

Li Yu was still wondering whether to turn around and run away, but unexpectedly, the giant squid was extremely weak. Its rotten body, like a pile of rotten flesh, could only wriggle in place and could no longer move.
