43: Flesh and Blood Domain
Luo Feng felt relieved when he saw Qiao Yu give him a thumbs-up and smile.
Reading good Taiwanese books is super worry-free.
"To be honest, it's mainly because I'm afraid of trouble."
"Everyone knows that Psycher Masters are key training targets. Once revealed, they'll be sent to the martial arts academy headquarters. With all that trouble, I wouldn't be able to live my current quiet life, nor see my parents..."
Luo Feng explained apologetically.
"Yes, Luo Feng, you're right. Once the martial arts academy knows you're a Psycher Master, you'll lose a lot of freedom. You'll be in the eye of the storm, a target for various factions, and you might not see your family for several years. We'll keep your secret!"
Gao Feng was also a family man, so he could understand Luo Feng's feelings.
"Fortunately, although this operation was full of dangers, the final outcome was good. At least everyone is here, and our Fire Hammer Squad now has the trump card of a Psycher Master, and no one lost their life."
Chen Gu leaned against the wall, sighing with emotion.
"To be honest, when I lost my arm, my life flashed before my eyes. I had already decided that if I survived, I would return to my family and end my life as a free fighter, all thanks to you, Qiao Yu."
As Zhang Ke spoke, tears seemed to well up in his eyes.
"Hey, hey, hey! Brother Zhang, this is something you bought from me, so let's not be so polite. This just proves that humanity still needs you to contribute and kill more monsters! Besides, your family needs you too."
Qiao Yu timely interrupted the emotional moment.
"Mm, Brother Zhang will remember this kindness for a lifetime!"
Zhang Ke broke into a smile through his tears and said.
Dusk was falling, and the sky was full of stars.
Having experienced so much in one day, the Fire Hammer Squad members were all exhausted and began to prepare for rest.
"Owoo~"
Just then, an angry and sorrowful wolf howl echoed.
The Fire Hammer Squad members instantly tensed up, becoming vigilant.
Qiao Yu and Luo Feng, who were on guard duty, picked up their binoculars and looked towards the direction of the sound not far below.
On a street several miles away, a giant gray wolf, the size of a double-decker bus, was howling at the sky, its suddenly appearing white fur on its forehead looking so out of place.
"This is... a Silver Moon Fierce Wolf!"
"And it seems to be seriously injured; there's a huge scab on its abdomen."
Chen Gu also saw this massive monster.
"This size, it's at least a High-Level Beast General. Holy cow, if we can take this one down, it'll be worth at least seven or eight hundred million, equivalent to ten of our outings. We'd strike it rich right here!"
Wei Qing looked at the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, his eyes almost brighter than the moonlight.
"Don't let money blind you. This is a High-Level Beast General, and a royal breed among wolves like the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf. Even its dying counterattack is something we can't handle!"
Gao Feng calmly reminded him.
"Captain, why don't I give it a try? I'm a Psycher Master, I can attack from a distance, and even if I can't defeat it, I can fly, so escaping won't be a problem!"
Luo Feng said, eager to try.
"You... alright, Luo Feng, be careful. Kill it if you can, run if you can't, and be extremely cautious!"
Gao Feng hesitated for a moment, but then agreed, remembering that Luo Feng was a Psycher Master. Luo Feng's Psycher Master level was even stronger than his physical strength, so it was possible he could kill this Silver Moon Fierce Wolf.
Luo Feng nodded, leaped down from the sixth floor, and landed steadily by attaching his psychic energy to his alloy combat boots, then swiftly ran towards the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf.
Qiao Yu watched Luo Feng run off and had no intention of snatching the kill. This Silver Moon Fierce Wolf was Luo Feng's first big gift package in his career, and he didn't need to steal Luo Feng's resources to make himself stronger.
Qiao Yu closed his eyes as if resting, immersing his thoughts in the flesh and blood mycelium he had deployed throughout the city.
Because he had been constantly fleeing for his life, Qiao Yu was unaware of Thunder God's arrival, nor that Thunder God had ordered his subordinates to take his flesh and blood mycelium back for research.
He could now sense that seven or eight buildings in the city had already been infested by the fungal swarm.
Qiao Yu tried to connect his vision to the first and most completely infested building, which was the residential building called Blue Sky Residential Area.
This residential area, with its three twenty-one-story residential buildings, had been completely infested by the fungal swarm.
Outwardly, there were no traces, but if someone were to enter, they would find that all four walls of the entire building were covered by a thick layer of flesh and blood.
Blood-colored fleshy mushroom buds grew on the walls, and white patterns between the flesh and blood formed a network connecting the mushrooms.
And those mushrooms continuously spewed out tiny spores, looking bloody and eerie.
A bloody, meaty scent drifted out through the windows, drawing a few scattered monsters towards the Blue Sky Residential Area.
A lone Tiger Mastiff kept sniffing the sweet, meaty scent in the air.
It was a sweet, greasy scent that intoxicated all carnivorous monsters. The Tiger Mastiff, with unsteady steps, walked towards the three twenty-one-story residential buildings.
Vaguely, this Tiger Mastiff seemed to see a human-like creature, entirely reddish, standing blankly in the center of the main entrance of the building, smiling and waving at it.
If there were humans present, they would witness this terrifying scene: the human-like creature made of flesh and blood performing stiff and mechanical waving motions.
The Tiger Mastiff's instincts screamed, warning it that this was an extremely dangerous area, but the sweet, greasy scent seemed to possess a fatal allure, making its feet move forward uncontrollably until it stepped inside the building.
When this Tiger Mastiff saw the flesh and blood mycelium surrounding the inner room, the entire dog felt as if it had arrived in paradise.
So much blood food, so much deliciousness, and no other monsters to fight with.
As the Tiger Mastiff delved deeper, it seemed to sink into quicksand made of flesh and blood.
The Tiger Mastiff's entire body was enveloped by the flesh and blood mycelium, appearing from the outside as a canine monster made of flesh and blood, and as its steps went deeper and deeper.
First, its four limbs began to dissolve from the feet upwards, its body growing shorter and shorter, until all its limbs were completely devoured, unable to advance further.
Then its abdomen, its organs, until finally its entire body melted into this paradise of flesh and blood.
Similar situations occurred successively in the buildings of the other two residential towers.
And as time passed, a canine monster, entirely composed of flesh and blood, gradually emerged from the pool of bloody water that had just devoured the monster.
This monster shook off the bloody mud from its body and walked out with its head held high.
Flesh and blood suffer, fungi live forever!
A new type of life form was born on Earth.
No one knew whether this life form was a threat to Earth's creatures or an opportunity for rebirth.
All life within this domain infested by the fungal swarm is immortal, imperishable, until eternal life, until Undying...
