Qiao He coughed up a mouthful of bright red blood, and her steps were forced to stop.

The mushrooms continued their attack, seemingly sensing the azure substance within Qiao He's body. The enormous mushroom beneath her feet had "awakened," seeking to obtain Qiao He's energy.

Nature is incredibly cruel.

The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, has always followed this principle.

In the past, humans were creatures that could stand at the top of the food chain.

But after the natural disaster, in the apocalypse, humans became surprisingly vulnerable creatures.

Just like that inconspicuous little mushroom, it has somehow managed to grow into such a terrifying behemoth.

Qiao He was not facing a superhuman, nor a mutated plant with consciousness.

Rather, he is a king standing at the top of the food chain in this forest.

Qiao He has been targeted.

She swallowed hard; her body was already overloaded. If she couldn't find Bo Shiwu soon, they would both perish here!

Before long, Qiao He suddenly sensed the presence of a thin mist in a certain direction not far away.

She rushed over, and as soon as she arrived, Qiao He confirmed that Bo Shiwu was underground!

Yes.

Is the thin fog trapped underground?

Qiao He's pupils contracted sharply. She immediately activated Qiao Fei's earth-type ability and quickly burrowed into the soil.

The surrounding soil seemed to have a life of its own. Qiao He moved the soil to the left, and the soil covering her obediently moved to the left.

Qiao He gritted her teeth; she was already struggling.

Having just traversed the forest at near-light speed, most of his superpowers have been depleted.

She also suffered severe internal injuries. Qiao He can still grit her teeth and persevere, but she is afraid that she will not be able to hold on and will die here.

She didn't want to die!

Qiao He's eyes hardened as she headed toward where Bo Shiwu was.

No matter how many monsters lie ahead, she will find Bo Shiwu.

After walking underground for an unknown distance, Qiao He finally stopped, because she had found Bo Shiwu.

The man was trapped underground, unaware of how deep it was, his entire body enveloped in the mycelium that had grown from the mushrooms.

Those were grayish-white mycelia, densely packed, as if they had wrapped the thin mist into a cocoon.

The mycelium seems to be dormant, simply dragging its captured prey underground, where it becomes their food reserves.

Qiao He's eyes instantly turned blood red, and she rushed over to hurriedly sever the mycelium on Bo Shiwu's body.

But the next moment, Qiao He discovered that fungal hyphae had penetrated his heart and temples.

The part of the hyphae that entered the body turned dark red, like human blood vessels, and was sucking the blood of Thin Mist?

Qiao He's head buzzed, and she called out in a trembling voice, "Bo Shiwu?"

The thin fog showed no reaction whatsoever.

His eyes were tightly closed, as if he were asleep.

But Qiao He knew he was definitely not asleep.

Qiao He told herself to stay calm, she had to stay calm.

Her hands had already landed on the mycelium on Bo Shiwu's temples.

What will the thin fog look like once the mycelium is pulled out?

Did those hyphae connect to the blood vessels and nerves of the thin fog?

Nobody knows.

Qiao He gritted her teeth; she couldn't hesitate any longer!

Cut off those mycelium!

Then I went out with a thin mist.

Qiao He forcefully severed the mycelium attached to Bo Shiwu's body, including the mycelium near his heart.

Snap——

All the mycelium was peeled off, and Thin Mist softly collapsed into Qiao He's arms.

He had lost all his strength and was now at a loss as to whether he was alive or dead.

Qiao He's hands were trembling; she had made the right bet!

For a brief moment, she felt like a bomb disposal expert; if she cut the wrong wire, both Bo Shiwu and she herself would die here.

Fortunately, the mycelium did not cause any substantial damage to the thin fog.

But before Qiao He could be happy for long, she saw the mycelium around her wriggling.

Like tentacles with consciousness, they all gathered together and then rushed towards Qiao He.

With a slight thought, Qiao He used the surrounding soil to trap all the mycelium.

Then she quickly returned to the ground with Bo Shiwu, carrying him away from the forest almost without stopping.

It is still close to the speed of light.

They no longer slept, nor did they pretend. At this moment, the mycelium broke through the soil like crazy and kept chasing Qiao He and Bo Shiwu.

They didn't want to let Qiao He go; he was the most delicious food they had ever found.

Eat her.

Eat her!

While dodging the mycelium attacks flying up from below, Qiao He kept an eye on whether Bo Shiwu was entangled by the mycelium.

Fortunately, they were lucky enough that Qiao He and Bo Shiwu escaped the forest safely.

After realizing that it could not catch Qiao He, the mycelium hovered in the air for a long time, unwilling to give up.

Realizing they could no longer catch their prey, they reluctantly withdrew all their mycelium and quietly settled underground.

It remained asleep.

The forest has returned to normal.

Qiao He carried Bo Shiwu back to the RV, and she fell down in the living room as soon as she got in!

Shen Huai called out anxiously, "Ahe! How are you? You're finally back."

Qiao He was still clinging to life. She said to Shen Huai, "Quick, get out of here... don't let those mushrooms catch up with us..."

Shen Huai immediately started the RV, and the eerie forest receded further and further away from them, eventually turning into just a small patch of green.

After driving a considerable distance, Shen Huai finally stopped the RV.

It was only then that Shen Huai realized the little mushrooms on his body had disappeared, and the strange itching in his body had also gone away.

It seems that the mushroom's power is ineffective when you're far enough away.

However, the harm caused to them was still substantial.

Qiao He carried Bo Shiwu and collapsed in the living room. The kittens gradually recovered and woke up one by one.

Li Zong lay on the sofa, his fate unknown, but Shen Huai was certain he wouldn't die.

He's still clinging to life.

Shen Huai immediately picked up Qiao He and put her on the bed, then carried Bo Shiwu on his back and put her on the bed as well.

Both of them were deathly pale, especially Bo Shiwu, who looked as if he had lost his soul.

There was some blood on Bo Shiwu's temples and heart area. Shen Huai checked it and found that it was just a superficial injury, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Qiao He, on the other hand, was covered in dark red blood, mostly her own, with some of it belonging to Bo Shiwu.

Shen Huai's special ability couldn't directly treat them; Qiao He's injuries were far too severe, especially her internal injuries.

If he misuses his supernatural abilities and uses poison to fight poison, Qiao He's injuries might become even worse.

Perhaps we should wait for Qiao Hua to wake up.

Just as Shen Huai was getting anxious, he suddenly heard the kittens' voices behind him.

Qiao Yin rubbed his head. "Strange... how did I suddenly fall asleep..."
