Qiao He's hands were trembling violently; she didn't even know what she was doing.
By the time she realized it, Qiao He had already used a dagger to slash the flesh off her arm!
It was so deep that the bone was almost visible!
A sharp, piercing pain swept over her, and Qiao He's vision went completely red. She looked at her bleeding arm, where the mushroom-shaped growth had disappeared along with the flesh.
However, the mushroom's roots had penetrated deep into the bone.
Qiao He's breathing became erratic. What had just happened to her? Her mind had been controlled.
It was an irresistible thought, as if a voice kept saying in her mind, "Cut it off, and you'll be more comfortable if you just cut it off."
"Cut it off!"
Cut it off right now!
"You'll die if I don't cut it off!"
Countless voices surged in Qiao He's mind, all telling her to peel off the mushrooms on her body.
Qiao He has already deeply experienced the consequences of doing so.
She was seriously injured; the bleeding had been barely stopped, but a considerable amount of blood was still gushing out.
Qiao He gritted her teeth and summoned the paper doll Qiao Hua to heal her wounds.
But that can only stop the bleeding; she can't use her regenerative abilities right now. Only Qiao Hua herself can provide Qiao He with comprehensive treatment.
Qiao He's lips began to turn pale. She didn't know what to do, nor did she know how things were going with Bo Shiwu.
The only thing I can do now is to control my strange thoughts, the urge to peel off all the flesh that has grown into mushrooms.
Another thing is to always be wary of the surrounding plants to prevent strange mushrooms from suddenly appearing.
Qiao He gasped for breath, trying her best to ignore the itching on her body and the intense, almost uncontrollable urge to cut off her flesh.
If you can't control yourself, and you end up cutting off your own flesh, you'll die right here, killing yourself.
Peel off the skin and cut the bones!
Humans absolutely cannot withstand this. They might not even be able to get rid of all the mushrooms inside their bodies before they go into shock from blood loss and die here.
This power is simply too strong.
Qiao He couldn't help but suspect that they had encountered another plant with the azure substance, or... a superhuman.
They don't even know who their enemy is.
Qiao He bit her tongue. She now understood that the others were asleep because their abilities were not as strong as the enemy's.
Qiao He and Bo Shiwu were strong enough to maintain their sanity and avoid falling into a coma.
If everyone falls into a coma, then they are doomed.
Before they could find Ye Hong and Qiao Yuan, they died in this primeval forest.
Qiao He clenched her fists tightly. She couldn't leave the RV. The children were in bad shape, and if she left, there would be no one to save them if something happened.
Qiao He kept checking the time; fifteen minutes had already passed. She had never felt a minute to be so long; it felt like an eternity.
Qiao He still didn't know where Bo Shiwu was, and she couldn't summon the paper doll to follow Bo Shiwu. The farther away they were, the more difficult it became for Qiao He to control the paper doll.
Her current superpowers are not enough to support a fictional character with superpowers traveling that far with Bo Shiwu.
Now all that remains is a tiny paper figure marking the location of the thin fog.
If Bo Shiwu doesn't return within thirty minutes, she will decisively lead everyone away from here.
However, even if they leave, it remains to be seen whether their bodies can return to normal.
Qiao He was more inclined to believe it wouldn't happen, because the enemy was lurking in the shadows. As long as it followed them, it could allow the mushrooms to grow on them forever, until everyone died.
An extremely cruel and troublesome enemy.
Qiao He continued to wait.
She maintained a sympathetic connection with the plant, but at that moment, Qiao He suddenly felt that the plant's roots did not seem to be rooted in the soil.
Instead, it's on something soft and bouncy.
Wait, is she hallucinating?
Why didn't I feel it just now?
Qiao He immediately deepened her plant empathy. A thin layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead. The root was indeed not in the soil; it was a mushroom.
All the plants grow inside a mushroom.
Qiao He stood there, stunned; she was dumbfounded.
In that instant, Qiao He could even sense the enormous creature underground.
Was that a giant mushroom?
Is it as big as a primeval forest?!
Or was it a whole patch of mushrooms?
An extremely ordinary mushroom that shouldn't have been noticed in the first place.
It wasn't even toxic before the apocalypse.
But now, Qiao He clearly felt that the plant was rooted on the mushroom cap, and that eerie feeling sent chills down her spine.
She knew that the enormous creature was right beneath her feet, something that humans could not handle!
Oh no, they're trying to escape!
We can't stay here any longer.
As soon as the idea popped into Qiao He's mind, he immediately started the RV.
She activated flight mode. At this moment, she couldn't care less about the creatures in the air. She had to find Bo Shiwu quickly and then take him away from here!
Qiao He made the decision in just a few seconds; she was quick, even faster!
If he can't find Bo Shiwu, his situation will become even more dangerous.
Twenty minutes had passed, and Qiao He still hadn't found Bo Shiwu. She began to panic.
The RV quickly returned to the spot where Qiao He first stepped on the mushroom, but Bo Shiwu was nowhere to be seen.
Where are you going!
Why is nobody here?!
Qiao He went to other places to look for Bo Shiwu, but still couldn't find him.
Left with no other choice, Qiao He had to lead everyone away from there.
This forest is so vast that Qiao He cannot guarantee that he can lead everyone to safety.
Her hands were trembling. The thin mist disappeared, and she could not even sense his presence.
It simply vanished into a forest, a forest that grew on a mushroom...
No one knows exactly where the Thin Fog is.
Qiao He's eyes were red and swollen. She couldn't let everyone else perish here just for Bo Shiwu's sake.
However, she didn't want to leave Bo Shiwu here alone.
Qiao He could only try to get everyone out of there as quickly as possible, and then come back to find Bo Shiwu.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't upset; Qiao He's heart felt like it was about to explode.
She mobilized all her supernatural abilities and steered the RV away as quickly as possible. At the same time, Qiao He kept a close watch on the surroundings to see if any creatures would attack the RV, and whether the mushrooms underneath had noticed their escape.
In fact, it seems that because the mushroom is so large, Qiao He and the others are smaller than ants in the mushroom's eyes, so it may not be able to see them.
Or rather, it's even less likely to realize that the little "prey" has escaped.
