Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

Although they couldn't see the hallucinogenic spores, given the eerie place and the previous experience, no one dared to be careless. Su Yang approached the edge of the blue light and tentatively stepped forward, first testing the waters with his hand before carefully breathing. After a while, seeing no adverse reactions, everyone dared to proceed with peace of mind.

All around them were various kinds of fungi they had never seen before, emitting different kinds of light, making this world seem so bizarre and wonderful. They had been traveling for a long time without encountering any dangers. Even the dense bushes overhead had thinned out quite a bit. Seeing this, the group wanted to try Lin Anlan's suggestion again and fly out.

Before anyone could make a move, a rustling sound suddenly came from above. Looking up, they saw that the vines that had been hidden in the tree canopy had reappeared, but they weren't targeting them. Upon closer inspection, they realized that several birds had entered the forest, and the vines were attacking them, but they couldn't catch them.

During the chase, Su Yang discovered that the vines didn't seem to be capturing the birds, but rather driving them away. The birds were being driven towards the sticky tentacles hanging under the giant mushroom cap.

Unsurprisingly, all the birds crashed head-on into the tentacles, and the vines slowly retreated. As a result, the amount of slime on the tentacles increased dramatically, covering and engulfing the birds layer by layer. With a burst of green light, the once carefree birds were reduced to only some bones discarded from inside the tentacles.

Everyone watched in horror, unable to imagine whether they could withstand the corrosive slime if they were caught by those tentacles. Charles was especially terrified, almost losing his mind, as if his sanity had been completely drained, constantly muttering, "I have to get out of here, I'll die, I have to get out of here, I'll die..."

Lin Anlan stepped forward to comfort him: "Charles, relax, we'll be fine as long as we avoid those tentacles."

Charles: "You'll die, you'll die..."

Seeing that Charles was still muttering incessantly, Huang Lewei became furious. He stepped forward and shoved Charles to the ground, scolding him with exasperation, "With such little courage, what kind of adventurer are you! Shut up! Show some manly spirit!"

"Don't yell at him. He's just a kid. We've never seen anything like this before, let alone him. Besides, you've already lectured him the whole way. There's no need to do it again now!" Tang Wan immediately disapproved of Huang Lewei's attitude. After they switched carriages earlier, even though Huang Lewei was driving, he still opened the partition to lecture Charles quite a few times along the way. Now that things were like this, Tang Wan felt there was no need to blame a teenager for his fear.

“Don’t you understand? If he continues like this, his mind will collapse sooner or later, and then no one will be able to save him! If I hadn’t put mental pressure on him earlier, he probably would have died before he even got here, when he started hallucinating!” Huang Lewei said loudly.

Seeing that Tang Wan was about to argue with Huang Lewei, Su Yang quickly stopped them. He stepped forward and patted Huang Lewei on the shoulder, only to find that Huang Lewei was trembling and resisting being touched. Su Yang immediately realized that Huang Lewei was also under a lot of mental pressure.

It turns out that Huang Lewei's initial dislike for Charles wasn't simply due to his dislike of him. Now that he's a member of the team, he naturally hopes that everyone can stay safe and sound, or at least not hold them back.

Having heard Lin Anlan describe the hardships of an adventurer's life, Huang Lewei, himself a novice adventurer, understood that an adventure would inevitably involve many things he had never seen before. Therefore, he not only put mental pressure on Charles, but also on himself. Right now, Huang Lewei's mental pressure was almost reaching its limit.

So Su Yang first squatted down in front of Charles, gently patted his back, and said softly, "Charles, since Cody has entrusted you to me, your master will definitely guarantee your safety. You'll see if you don't believe me." As he spoke, Su Yang raised his hand and unleashed several energy blades, which hit the nearest tentacle. The tentacle was then cleaved into several pieces and scattered on the ground.

Su Yang turned around and continued, "See? Your master is strong enough to protect you, so calm down first, okay? This is the first lesson your master is going to teach you."

Lin Anlan also joined in, and their reassurance gradually eased Charles's tension, making him calm down. Just as he was about to speak, he seemed to see something out of the corner of his eye. When he turned his head to look, he immediately became extremely nervous again.

The tentacles that had just been severed and were lying on the ground were still able to move. At this moment, the tentacles had already wriggled close to the group and were even poised to attack. The tentacles bent and gathered strength like snakes before shooting towards the group.

Startled, Charles instinctively closed his eyes, but Su Yang shouted, "Open your eyes!" At his command, Charles's eyes snapped open again. The tentacles that were about to leap onto his face seemed to be blocked by something, and were then shattered by countless blades of energy, scattering on the ground, unable to move any further.

Su Yang then said softly, "Don't worry, you'll be safe with me." He then patted Charles's head before examining the tentacle fragments beside him.

The fragments revealed the physiological structure of the tentacles, and Lin Anlan also came over to observe them carefully: "Strictly speaking, this is already a kind of ferocious beast, but it's the first time I've ever seen a plant-based ferocious beast."

Su Yang: "A plant-based ferocious beast? If it's a plant, how can it be considered a beast?"

Lin Anlan: "That's what's puzzling. These tentacles could be part of those giant mushrooms, as well as those vines from before. Their behavior clearly suggests they have their own consciousness, but apart from the vines and tentacles, the other mushrooms don't have the ability to move."

Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "Do you think it's possible that something caused them to mutate?"

Lin Anlan: "What is that?"

Su Yang: "I remember that the Demon Race originated from the Dragon Race's experiments, right?"

Lin Anlan: "You mean, these mushrooms are also the result of some kind of experiment?"

Su Yang nodded, acknowledging Lin Anlan's words, but then added, "I'm just guessing, after all, no one has ever seen this thing before."

After discussing it, the group decided to continue their journey and find a way out to leave this place as soon as possible. However, after walking a few dozen meters, they heard a noise behind them. When they turned around, they saw a group of snake-like creatures, about a dozen of them, feasting on the pile of tentacle fragments.

Tang Wan, with her sharp eyes, pointed at the snakes and whispered, "Why do all those snakes have mushrooms growing on their heads?"
