Just then—
"Left!" Xu Shuangyao suddenly let out a short exclamation, her voice trembling slightly due to the warning brought by shared perception! As Pei Du was alert to the shadow of the huge water pump on his right, a strong sense of crisis, accompanied by a foul smell, instantly penetrated Pei Du's nerve endings through the unstable but forcibly connected channel of consciousness like an icy electric current!
Without a second thought, Pei Du, driven by the little power forcibly squeezed out of symbiosis, suddenly threw himself to the right at a speed beyond his limit! At the same time, his intact left hand shot out like lightning, grabbed Xu Shuangyao's arm, and pulled her towards him!
"Bang!!!"
There was a dull thud! Just behind where they had been standing, a heavy, rusty metal pipe, as thick as an adult's thigh and sharpened to an incomparable point, slammed into the fungus-covered concrete floor like a battering ram! Pieces of cement mixed with sticky mycelial fluid splattered everywhere!
A distorted figure appeared where they were just now.
It was still vaguely recognizable as a human figure, clad in the Wildfang's signature tattered armor, a patchwork of mutant hides and metal plates. But his skin was a strange, translucent gray-green. Countless fine, silver-gray mycelium, like wriggling blood vessels, burrowed and twisted frantically beneath his skin, in his eye sockets, and in his mouth and nose. His body had swelled, his muscles knotted beyond human form. Blue-black veins bulged from his gray-green skin like earthworms, flowing not with blood but with viscous fungal fluid. His eyes were a pale, cloudy color, devoid of any pupils, filled only with a pure, frenzied desire for destruction. Saliva, mixed with dark green mucus, dripped continuously from his gaping, mycelium-distorted mouth, emitting a hoarse roar. The nails on his hands had transformed into sharp, barbed black spurs!
A fungus puppet that has completely lost its mind, been initially eroded by the fungus master, and has only the instinct of violent attack left!
“Roar!!!!” The attack missed, and the Fungus Puppet let out an even more furious and violent roar. Its cloudy white eyes locked onto the fallen Pei Du and Xu Shuangyao. Its massive body, accompanied by a gust of fishy wind, pounced again! Its speed was even faster than in its lifetime, and its strength was even more terrifying!
"Get out of here!" Pei Du's eyes flashed with ferocity! The instinct for survival overwhelmed the excruciating pain and fear of the sudden change! He suddenly jumped up from the ground, advancing instead of retreating! His right fist, etched with dark red curse lines and scarred with wounds, ignored the intense pain. At the moment the symbiotic power was forcibly activated, it violently blasted towards the twisted and swollen chest of the fungus puppet with a shrill scream that tore through the air!
“Bang!!!!”
Another dull, heart-pounding thud echoed, like a heavy hammer hitting rotten wood!
The mushroom puppet's forward momentum suddenly faltered! Its chest, covered in gray-green skin, visibly dented the moment Pei Du's fist touched it! Countless twisting hyphae were broken by the immense force, and dark green, sticky juice gushed out of its cracked skin, mouth, and nose like a fountain! However, despite the immense force of this punch, it didn't seem to cause fatal damage! The twisted vitality bestowed upon it by the mushroom master far surpassed that of ordinary humans!
"Ah!" The fungus puppet let out an inhuman roar of pain, but without stopping, its claws, which had turned into bone spurs, grabbed Pei Du's head and neck fiercely with a sharp sound that tore through the air! The speed was incredibly fast and the angle was tricky!
Pei Du's old strength was exhausted, and his new strength had not yet been generated. His pupils suddenly contracted! The shadow of death instantly enveloped him!
At this critical moment——
"Pei Du! Lower your head!" Xu Shuangyao's tearful scream resonated simultaneously in the depths of his consciousness and reality! She struggled to half-kneel, clutching a thick, broken cable with sharp edges scattered on the ground with both hands!
Pei Du didn't hesitate at all! His intuition of death and the perception of Xu Shuangyao's desperate determination, transmitted through the unstable connection of consciousness, made him execute the command instantly! He suddenly lowered his head and bent over!
"call--!"
Xu Shuangyao used all her strength to lift the heavy cable, which was covered with rust and oil. With a sound of breaking wind, she lashed it accurately and fiercely on the bony wrist of the fungus puppet that was grabbing Pei Du's neck!
"Crack!" A clear sound of bone breaking!
The wrist of the fungus puppet was bent at a strange angle, and the attack trajectory of the bone spur was instantly deflected!
But this was the limit of what Xu Shuangyao could do! The severe pain and weakness brought by the forced force made her eyes go black, and her body collapsed again.
However, this brief delay was enough for Pei Du!
“Die!!!!” Pei Du roared like a beast from his throat! Taking advantage of the moment when the Fungus Puppet lost its balance due to the broken wrist, he spun around violently, and his right hand with dark red lines clenched into a fist again. But this time, above the fist, a faint, extremely weak energy light, like a blood-red arc, lingered! That was the phenomenon caused by the extreme pressure of the Fusion Crown, forcibly extracting the same source of power from the Fungus Master! The price was the severe pain and sucking sensation from his spine that almost made him faint! At this moment, the muscles all over his body expanded to the limit, and the blue veins on his neck and arms burst out like a dragon!
The fist flew out! Like an angry dragon emerging from the sea! With the tragic prospect of mutual destruction!
This time, the target is the head of the fungus puppet that has been deformed by the mycelium!
“Puff——!!!”
Like a ripe watermelon being smashed by a hammer!
A dull cracking sound mixed with the splattering of mucus! Under Pei Du's iron fist, infused with all his strength and brimming with faint blood-red energy, the gray-green head of the fungus puppet instantly exploded like a fragile pottery jar! A sticky mixture of red, white, and dark green, mixed with broken mycelium, splattered like fireworks! The huge, headless body twitched violently several times before collapsing to the ground, sending up a cloud of dust and fungal debris.
