Following Tang Wan's gaze, Su Yang saw fine, green-glowing dust floating in mid-air outside the blue light's range. He approached the edge of the light and reached out to touch it, and some dust fell into his palm. He looked at it for a long time but still couldn't figure out what it was.

Just then, another crisp sound came from nearby. In this tranquil environment, any slight sound seemed to be amplified infinitely, let alone a crisp sound. Everyone turned to look and saw countless specks of dust, glowing faintly, emanating from near a spherical object.

Tang Wan: "What is that?"

Huang Lewei: "I don't know, what kind of plant does it look like?"

Charles: "What kind of plant grows like this?"

Lin Anlan: "I've been to Mount Mar before, but it wasn't like this. Something must have happened here..."

Tang Wan: "What happened, Sister Anlan?"

Lin Anlan shook her head: "I don't know either, but this place is too strange, it's obviously not a good thing."

After listening to their discussion, Su Yang turned to look at the blue mushrooms behind him. He was now fairly certain that the floating things were spores. Considering the hallucinogenic properties of some poisonous mushrooms in the original world, he figured that the reason they had all been affected was because of these spores.

After Su Yang explained his reasoning to the others, they all agreed. Huang Lewei then said, "But I clearly remember that we didn't come into contact with these spores at that time, so how could we be hallucinating?"

After reviewing the entire process, Su Yang quickly identified the key to the problem: "When I was cleaning the slime off my shoes, I stepped on some weeds, and that made a similar sound, probably from crushing a spherical object. Later, when we were arguing in our hallucinations, we must have crushed even more spherical objects while walking back and forth, which made our hallucinations deepen. However, judging from the current situation, the light emitted by this blue mushroom seems to be able to block the spores, so we should be safe here for now."

After hearing this, Tang Wan said with some worry, "Then what do we do now? If we leave the area of ​​this blue mushroom, won't we be hallucinating again?"

Huang Lewei looked at Lin Anlan and suggested, "Sister Lan, why don't you try using fire element to see if you can kill these spores? Plants are afraid of fire."

"No!" Su Yang refused decisively: "Such fine spore dust could explode if it comes into contact with an open flame."

Charles was also getting anxious: "We can't get out, and we can't destroy it either. Aren't we going to be trapped here and die?"

Su Yang looked around and saw some blue lights still in the distance, which gave him hope. He pointed into the distance and said, "We can't find our way back in the chaos, so we can only explore in other directions. Do you see those blue lights? That might be another blue mushroom. We'll cover our mouths and noses with our clothes and try not to breathe. I'll fly you there one by one later."

After hearing this, Lin Anlan said, "Then why don't we just use our flight spell to fly to the top of the tree? Wouldn't it be better if we could get out of the area covered by these spores?"

“But Huang Lewei and Charles don’t know how to fly. What if they accidentally fall from the top of the tree? Wouldn’t they definitely be hallucinating?” Tang Wan felt uneasy.

"Alright, I'll fly up there first to check the situation. If the area of ​​this forest isn't too large, we'll use Anlan's method. If the area is too large, we'll use the method I suggested." Su Yang made his decision after a moment's thought.

"Okay, then you have to be careful." Lin Anlan was a little worried, after all, this was something she had never experienced before, and people's fear of the unknown is always magnified infinitely.

Su Yang nodded, then used cloud elements to soar into the sky, instantly reaching the dome-like tree canopy. However, just as he was about to break through the trees' cover, a strange phenomenon occurred!

The trees seemed to come alive, their branches and leaves trembling simultaneously. In an instant, countless vines and tentacles surged towards Su Yang from all directions, even appearing in the canopy above his head. Su Yang had never experienced anything like this before, and a sense of fear gripped him. He quickly turned and flew back to his original spot. However, the vines were ultimately too slow, and seeing that they couldn't catch Su Yang, they retreated on their own.

Back with the group, not only Su Yang but everyone else was still shaken. They had witnessed the vines suddenly burst forth from all directions, as if the entire forest had come alive.

Lin Anlan: "Are you alright, Su Yang!?"

Su Yang shook his head and said, "This place is too eerie. Flying away is not realistic, especially since we'll be carrying people. I'll try flying to the next blue mushroom first and see if the vines will attack." After saying that, Su Yang immediately got up and flew towards another blue mushroom. This time it went very smoothly, and the vines did not attack.

Su Yang quickly flew back, gave a brief explanation, and then, according to the plan, led everyone to fly over one by one. Before long, everyone had been transferred. However, the two carriages were no longer usable. After frequently transferring people by flying, Su Yang had also consumed a lot of his elemental power, forcing him to stop and rest.

Sitting on the ground, looking at the still murky and dim surroundings, the group felt that the forest in front of them seemed to have no end. But even in the worst situation, there was always good news. During the leap and transfer, they discovered that as long as they reached the area covered by the blue mushroom light, the spores attached to their bodies would be dispelled on their own and would not affect them at all. This discovery finally brought a little comfort.

After resting for a while, Su Yang moved again. This time, he took Charles with him and flew rapidly toward the target. After rounding a big tree, the scene in front of him suddenly changed. Various kinds of light filled the forest. Before Su Yang could observe, a sticky tentacle covered with slime was heading straight for Su Yang's face. Su Yang hurriedly turned around and narrowly missed it. After arriving at the next blue mushroom, Su Yang finally had a chance to catch his breath.

Taking a short break, he looked up and around, only to find that the colorful lights came from different mushrooms, and there was no floating spore dust in the air. It was as if he had entered another world, except that there were many huge mushrooms here, with many sticky tentacles hanging from their caps, which were the tentacles that Su Yang had almost bumped into.

There was no time to explore the mysteries of this place, so Su Yang continued his mission. This time, with Lin Anlan's assistance, he quickly brought the remaining two people over.

"Strange, why doesn't it seem like there's any of that spore dust here? What are those tentacles? Are they dangerous?" Tang Wan asked a series of questions after landing, but her questions were the same as everyone else's. This place always felt more dangerous.
