Qiao He's expression instantly turned very serious. She stared warily at the dense mycelium around her, not daring to relax for even a moment, for fear that she might be attacked by the mycelium and wrapped up into a sturdy silkworm pupa if she wasn't careful.
However, after a few minutes, Qiao He discovered that the mycelium did not seem to be alive. It was as if it had lost its connection with the main body. At this moment, it could only bind them here like a rope, and would not actively attack them.
Thinking of this, Qiao He said in a low voice, "Bo Shiwu, did you notice? The mycelium isn't alive."
Bo Shiwu nodded slowly: "Yes, stand beside me, don't stray too far from me."
After saying this, Bo Shiwu used his telekinetic ability. His eyes suddenly turned cold, and his ability seemed to transform into a physical knife, fiercely attacking the dense mycelium!
Qiao He clearly saw that the mycelium was being cut, but because there were so many of them, he couldn't cut them off immediately.
Qiao He said, "I'll go with you."
Qiao He used her superpower to summon a sharp longsword. Her superpower was very useful; she only needed to think about the structure of things in her mind to summon two-dimensional flat objects and turn them into three-dimensional things or people.
This blessed longsword was also made by Qiao He.
These mycelia can be cut, which means they have a chance to get out of here.
Thinking of this, Qiao He moved even faster, and she and Bo Shiwu slashed at the mycelium together.
but--
Qiao He quickly noticed something strange: no matter how the mycelium was cut, it seemed to slowly heal right before their eyes and then turn into brand new mycelium "pupae".
Qiao He: "? What's going on?"
Bo Shiwu frowned and said coldly, "It's the instinct of these mycelia. Even if they are far away from the main body and have basically no connection, they can still quickly heal those broken wounds."
“Ah He, this thing is very difficult to deal with. It was absolutely the right choice for us to escape from that forest.” Bo Shiwu’s eyes became very serious.
Qiao He was also filled with lingering fear. If they had stayed there and hadn't escaped, what would have become of them now?
It will definitely be dragged underground, just like the thin fog, and become part of that mysterious fungus, most likely as nourishment.
They searched the forest for so long, but still couldn't find the fungus itself.
Could it be underground?
Qiao He couldn't imagine just how big that thing was; just thinking about it sent chills down her spine and gave her goosebumps.
The current situation is already so difficult to deal with, let alone confronting the main body of the mycelium. That would be like throwing an egg against a rock. They are like ants, completely powerless against the fungus.
Qiao He felt a chill run down her spine. She slowly closed her eyes and began to think quickly.
Just then, Qiao He suddenly opened her eyes. She and Bo Shiwu exchanged a glance, and then they both said in unison, "Fire."
Qiao He clapped his hands and said excitedly, "Yes! It's fire."
“Mycelium is also a plant, and its natural enemy must be fire,” Bo Shiwu added.
Qiao He nodded vigorously, "I'll give it a try."
She quickly drew a long, flaming sword and tried to use the flaming blade to cut open the fungal pupa.
The moment the fire knife cleaved through the "silkworm pupa," the fungus's regeneration speed indeed slowed down considerably, as if it were struggling to resist the erosion of the flames. In short, it was much more powerful than their previous attack.
Qiao He drew another fire knife and threw it to Bo Shiwu.
"Let's hurry! As long as we attack fast enough, we'll definitely be able to get out of here," Qiao He said with a bright smile.
Bo Shiwu nodded: "Okay."
The next moment, they attacked the fungus "silkworm pupa" together!
The mycelium was completely destroyed in an instant, and soon the two of them worked together to break open a hole large enough for one person to pass through.
Bo Shiwu called out, "Ahe, you go out first!"
Qiao He opened her eyes wide, "But..."
Before she could finish speaking, Bo Shiwu gave her a push, and she jumped out of the circle of mycelium.
Qiao He wanted to turn around to see if Bo Shiwu had come out, but when she turned around, the world in front of her began to distort.
It was like being transported to a bizarre and fantastical world.
Everything around me seemed like a shattered mirror, cracking in an instant.
Qiao He's consciousness was gradually withdrawn, and she realized that she had returned to her body.
When Qiao He opened her eyes again, she was already back inside her own body.
Qiao He opened her eyes wide and sat up abruptly in bed. Her forehead was covered in cold sweat. The kittens around her rushed over anxiously, calling out, "Mommy, are you alright?"
The sounds of the kittens filled her ears, but before Qiao He could reply, Bo Shiwu woke up.
He weakly opened his eyes, his obsidian-like pupils filled with silence. He slowly sat up, looked at the kitten nestled in his arms, and then slightly curled the corners of his lips.
Qiao Li said coldly, "Don't think I'm doing this because I'm worried about you. I'm just too worried about Mom."
Qiao He couldn't help but laugh: "Hahaha... Ah Li, you're so cute."
Qiao He patted the little guy's head vigorously. Of course, she couldn't neglect the other kittens either; she had to pet them one by one to make sure everyone got their share.
Bo Shiwu smiled faintly: "Ahe, thank you, I'm fine now."
Qiao He looked at him and asked softly, "After I came out, did you come out with me?"
Bo Shiwu nodded and said, "I waited until all the mycelium was burned before I came out."
“So I was a little slower than you, Ah He. Fire is indeed very useful,” Bo Shiwu said softly.
Qiao He breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I'm glad you're alright."
Just then, Shen Huai heard the sound and rushed over from outside: "Sister! You're alright? You're finally awake! My goodness... do you know how worried I was!"
Qiao He smiled faintly: "I'm fine, Second Brother, I'm sorry to have worried you."
Li Zong also poked his head out, his eyes red, as if he had just been crying. "That's great... My God, this is a miracle... I'm so glad you're alright, Qiao He. As long as you're alright, that's all that matters."
Whether Bo Shiwu is alright or not is completely unimportant. Li Zong even thought that if Bo Shiwu died, he could naturally stay by Qiao He's side and slowly influence her. In the end, Qiao He would definitely be moved by his sincerity!
When that time came, Li Zong grinned foolishly.
Qiao He will become his girlfriend~
Seemingly sensing something, Bo Shiwu shot Li Zong a sharp look, and Li Zong fell silent.
His wish has been dashed.
