And around this mycelium car, countless strange figures were moving around like ghosts. Their movements were agile and quick, as if they were ready to pounce on any target at any time.
These figures' bodies were twisted and distorted, as if twisted by an invisible force, making them look particularly hideous and terrifying. Their skin was as pale as paper, and their veins were clearly visible, as if they would burst at any moment, splattering blood everywhere. Their eyes flashed with an eerie light, which made people shudder.
However, at this moment, the three people lying in the tree were surprised to find that as time passed and the mycelium continued to enter, the monsters that had swallowed the mycelium began to undergo astonishing changes. Their formerly twisted and deformed bodies gradually returned to normal, their skin gradually became smooth and delicate, their blood vessels became less prominent, and their bodies gradually became more upright.
However, even though some of the monsters' bodies had gradually returned to human form, their behavior remained bizarre and abnormal. They seemed to have a strong desire for the mycelium. Even after their bodies had improved, they were still not satisfied and continued to crawl and scramble for the remaining mycelium. Even more shocking was that the monsters at the back, unable to grab any mycelium, actually went so far as to eat the people around them alive, and this method actually had a certain effect.
The scene suddenly became chaotic, the monsters began to devour each other, and the bloody smell filled the air, making people feel suffocated. The whole world seemed to have fallen into madness, and everything was out of control.
The whole scene was filled with a weird and terrifying atmosphere, which made people shudder.
"What should we do?" Ma Tuan asked Bai Di and Nan Song in a low voice, "I hope Blore won't encounter these things."
"Do you think the three people in Group A will take action? Or will they just climb on the tree and watch like us?" Bai Di did not answer him.
"I don't think so. This thing obviously has no desire to attack us, so it's better not to provoke it." Nan Song rubbed his arms, trying to get rid of the goose bumps.
The cruel and bloody fight seemed to be coming to an end. It started suddenly and ended suddenly. The people in human form picked up a basket from somewhere, rushed to the roadside and started picking those ugly mushrooms. They also threw some big mushrooms that the losers had turned into into the basket. After filling it up, they put it on their backs and walked away.
The wide and flat road also suddenly changed. As the dense clusters of ugly mushrooms on the roadside decreased, the road began to become twisted and muddy, making people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts when they saw it.
In just a short while, they were all gone.
Seeing that there was no movement, the three people prepared to get down from the tree and follow quietly.
"Hey, friends, we meet again. What a coincidence." Suddenly a voice sounded from under the tree.
"Can't get down? Need help?" The man smiled jokingly. His fiery red hair set off his fair face, making him look quite dashing.
"Oh, I was thinking. You're a busy man in the academy. You really think highly of us. What can I do for you?"
Ma Tuan was so frightened by the sound that his face turned pale, but no one could see him because he was wearing a mask.
Nansong and Bai Di slid down from the tree, and sure enough, Lu Nanyao and Jiu Yizhi were standing not far behind Xiankelai.
Lu Nanyao still had a smiling expression on her face, but Jiu Yizhi's hair suddenly became uneven and he stood there with a sour face.
"Is there anything wrong?" Bai Di asked calmly.
"Well, what can I say? I feel like you guys are still a bit lucky. If I had known this earlier, I would have followed you." Xiankelai said half-seriously and half-jokingly.
Seeing that the people under the tree finally left, Ma Tuan relaxed and slowly slid down from the tree.
They were all smart people and knew what this meant, so Bai Di did not reply.
"The environment here is very complicated. We have also fought with one of the monsters, and we can only say that we were completely defeated. I think one more person will increase our chances of winning." Lu Nanyao, who was standing aside, suddenly spoke in this quiet environment.
"Your mental strength is not as good as ours. We won't push you out as cannon fodder at the critical moment." Jiu Yizhi raised his eyebrows, with an expression that said, "How dare you refuse such a great honor?"
Nansong and the other two looked at each other and immediately moved aside.
"I'm better at acting alone." Bai Di was the first to express his opinion. "But I think they'll chase after them and investigate. We can split up when they disagree. Anyway, I think this is the best way right now."
"Okay, I feel like we basically just avoid them actively and don't have much experience. They have fought before and are a little stronger than us." Nan Song agreed.
"Since both of you said that, even if I don't agree, it's still 2 to 1. Let's go." Although Ma Tuan said he agreed, he didn't care at all in his heart, because he knew that those three people were not the same kind of people as him.
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the three people behind him and found that they were staring at him and others with strange eyes. This made Ma Tuan feel a little strange, but he didn't think much about it.
"Let's go then." Ma Tuan waved to the three people behind him, signaling them to follow. Lu Nanyao and the other two immediately understood what he meant. Xian Kelai quickly walked over to Ma Tuan, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then began to ask Ma Tuan about the situation, both openly and covertly.
Ma Tuan found it very funny, thinking: These two people are really good at playing! However, he didn't want to expose it, so he just chatted with Xiankelai casually, and the two of them played Tai Chi back and forth.
At this moment, there was silence all around, with only the voices of the two of them echoing in the air. The other four people walked silently, leaving behind only a series of crisp footsteps.
