Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

The bluish-purple spots on the three stalks of Qiansui Jinmang Rice grew increasingly severe, as if they had contracted some kind of "skin disease."

And the reason for this was exactly as the name Spirit-Eroding Fungus King suggested.

Spirit-Eroding!

An external reaction produced when special secretions such as spores and mycelium released by the Fungus King invaded spirit plants.

Some veteran spirit farmers would say this was the spirit plant calling for help.

And to a certain extent, that was indeed the case.

One of the Spirit-Eroding Fungus King's abilities was to continuously release tiny Spirit-Eroding Spores into the surrounding air; these spores could easily attach to the surfaces of spirit plant leaves and stems, or even invade the interior through stomata, thereby causing greater damage.

To resist the erosion, spirit plants would instinctively gather more Spiritual Energy to the invaded areas for defense, causing the Spiritual Energy density in those areas to suddenly increase.

Both sides were contending, thus forming the bluish-purple spots everyone saw.

At this point, experienced spirit farmers would react immediately, such as increasing the number of Fire Attribute Items to raise the temperature.

Or they could set up a Spiritual Array to rapidly increase the Spiritual Energy contained within the spirit plant; although this could not completely solve the problem, it could buy time.

Of course, the best method was to deal with the culprit, the Spirit-Eroding Fungus King.

But this thing was conscious, and also very timid.

At the slightest disturbance, it would immediately turn and run.

Since it was underground, its movement speed was very fast, and ordinary cultivators could not catch up at all.

If it were only Xu Zhangqing, Rong Yan, and others, catching or killing it would be almost impossible.

But now, besides them, there was also a Grain Master and an Earth Pulse Abyss Master here.

The cultivation realms of these two were at least Golden Core Stage or above.

Moreover, the Grain Master was a Wood Spiritual Root cultivator.

The Abyss Master was an Earth Spiritual Root cultivator.

Both of their Spiritual Roots were exceptionally pure, so the concentration of their mana was extremely high.

Now, seeing that the Spirit-Eroding Fungus King had already walked into the trap.

Zhu Fuxian and Shi Yuan exchanged a glance, quickly exchanging looks.

Subsequently, Zhu Fuxian took the lead in acting, Wood Attribute mana surging forward toward the spirit field like a bluish-green breeze,

instantly enveloping the three stalks of Qiansui Jinmang Rice, then releasing a rich Life Aura.

The three mutant rice stalks that had originally been eroded saw the bluish-purple spots on their surfaces suddenly dim.

But the more this happened, the more it attracted the Spirit-Eroding Fungus King.

It, located underground, upon seeing this released more spores, greedily absorbing the Spiritual Energy and nutrients produced by the Qiansui Jinmang Rice.

However, just as this fellow was immersed in it, Earth Pulse Abyss Master Shi Yuan took action.

Yellow Qi, higher than Earth Qi, enveloped the area before them at an extremely fast speed, transforming into an invisible prison.

The Spirit-Eroding Fungus King was already timid as a mouse; at the slightest disturbance it would turn and run.

Now, with underground pressure suddenly increasing, no matter how greedy it was, it quickly reacted.

But this time was different from before.

Front, back, left, right, down—moving in any of these directions allowed it to sense the threat of death.

Only "up" was different, with very little pressure, and even the Qiansui Jinmang Rice constantly luring it.

The Spirit-Eroding Fungus King had no choice but to begin moving toward the ground.

Therefore, Xu Zhangqing, Rong Yan, Rong Fa, and others saw the black soil of the spirit field ahead actually bulging up bit by bit into a mound of earth.

As the mound grew larger, it gradually cracked open many fissures, and immediately afterward large amounts of bluish-gray mist sprayed out from within.

Xu Zhangqing knew well that this was not mist at all, but spores released by the Spirit-Eroding Fungus King.

They were not simple.

Once inhaled into the body, they would cause various Negative States in Wood Spiritual Root cultivators.

Light cases: Spirit Power Stagnation, Skin Spots.

Heavy cases: Spirit Root Mildew, Cultivation Regression.

The most severe cases would be parasitized by the Fungal Nucleus, ultimately becoming Sui Ling Puppets.

Fortunately, these spores were all blocked by Zhu Fuxian's mana, and the covered area was only that one mu of Second Grade Spirit Field ahead, absolutely unable to leak out.

As the ground emitted continuous "crack crack" sounds, a huge creature drilled out.

At first glance, it resembled a huge mushroom.

Just the diameter of the Mushroom Cap had already reached seven or eight meters.

Overall it was an irregular circle, its edges undulating like waves.

The surface was covered with a thick layer of mucus, flashing with strange eerie light in the night, and even emitting a nauseating rotten stench.

From top to bottom it was deep purple, mixed with many black and dark red spots.

Below was a Mushroom Stalk nearly ten meters high, the thickest part requiring several people to encircle with their arms.

The surface of the Mushroom Stalk was covered with dense small holes, from which bluish-gray spores were constantly released.

Its color was even deeper, almost approaching pure black; its texture was hard as iron, yet also possessed the toughness unique to fungi.

And from the bottom of the Mushroom Stalk emerged countless black Chuanshen, or rather Mycelium.

They seemed to carry a penetrating effect unique to the Metal Attribute, easily piercing through any obstacle such as mud or stone wherever they passed.

Constantly exploring and extending outward, they eventually covered the entire Second Grade Spirit Field, forming a special "Territory."

Xu Zhangqing saw this and couldn't help but draw a deep breath: "So this is the Spirit-Eroding Fungus King worth tens of thousands of Middle-grade Spirit Stones?"

To be honest, I had only learned about it from books before.

Now this is our first meeting.

From the current impression, it is more visually striking.

Actually, by this point, the Spirit-Eroding Fungus King already knew it had been deceived.

Now it has no place to run, and the only loophole is still a trap.

You must know, once it leaves the mud and underground, it is equivalent to cutting off its own path of survival.

In other words, from the moment it emerges from underground, there is no retreat.

At the same time, it also wants to fight to the death.

Only a pity, it doesn't know what kind of existence it is facing.

Zhu Fuxian's mind moved, and three stalks of Qiansui Jinmang Rice detached from the Black Soil, flying directly out.

Immediately after, Shi Yuan raised his hand casually, and the already dense Yellow Qi around them condensed instantly, directly locking up the solitary Spirit-Eroding Fungus King in the Spirit Field.

At first glance, it was as if frozen in place.

For Xu Zhangqing, Rong Yan, and others, capturing this Spirit-Eroding Fungus King would be very difficult.

But for the two big shots, as long as the Spirit-Eroding Fungus King dared to come, they could easily handle it, without expending the slightest effort from beginning to end.

Now the Sui Mai Worm Mother has been caught, and the Spirit-Eroding Fungus King has also been caught.

From then on, the Sui Mai Disaster affecting the entire Spirit Field was strangled in the cradle.

For everyone, this is good news.

At least, the Rong Family can continue to reclaim Spirit Fields and cultivate Lingti in this area.

The other Spirit Farmers don't need to worry anxiously all day long.

At this moment, Rong Yan suddenly took out a Storage Bag, then said in a low voice: "Xu Spiritual Food, this time if it weren't for you discovering the problem, our Rong Family would definitely suffer a huge loss.

A small token of my heart, please don't take it as disrespect."

Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow: "What do you take me for?"

Rong Yan was stunned: "Uh..."

Xu Zhangqing warned with a serious expression: "I help you, not out of some purpose, or for the sake of benefits.

As a Spirit Cultivator, this is my responsibility!"
