Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 133: Let’s Go Hunting (4)
The corpse and the brooch were together thrown into the Space decomposition, and this broken car was collected as well.
The armored off-road belonging to a wealthy family had many modifications not apparent on the surface; even if the car door had a big hole in it, it could still fetch some money when sold as junk.
"Hey, if spores could decompose metal that would be great, getting rid of some unsightly things, saving the headache of how to dispose of trash every time."
Inside the Space, that newly collected broken car quietly stayed in the corner, while the mycelium, gently swaying like seaweed carried by the waves, was rapidly digesting and absorbing an energy-packed, chickpea-sized transparent Heart Core.
Small as it was, the abundant energy contained within it expanded the Space’s length, width, and height by more than a meter each.
It directly exemplified what ’concentration is the essence’ really means.
After absorbing this, it began to decompose the three corpses.
The Space itself was already quite large; the expansion this time did not cause any discomfort to Ye Nai.
By this time, she had long since made her escape.
Not running wasn’t an option; the descendants of wealthy families wouldn’t dare venture into the Secret Realm of a foreign land with just a driver and a companion. If this one vehicle was left, it meant either the rest of the team had already perished, or they had become separated. As long as someone from the team was still alive, they would definitely search for their people.
Having already taken immense advantage, only a fool would stay put.
As Ye Nai ran, she released superpower spores to track the fresh vehicle tracks hidden under the dense vegetation, while the fully grown mycelium in the soil behind her rapidly absorbed nutrients to produce inorganic matter, promoting plant growth and covering all traces like the vehicle tracks.
She rode on the motorcycle for less than fifteen minutes before finding a male wild buffalo roaming the wilderness.
Just as Ye Nai had guessed, it was an adult male wild buffalo; a massive lone creature without a herd.
This was a bull in heat searching for a new herd.
No wonder it was so irritable; it had rammed the armored car into such a state.
"Stop dreaming of finding a mate; you’re mine now," Ye Nai said, laughing gleefully, but she didn’t make her move immediately. Instead, she looked towards the direction ahead on the right.
There lay a cluster of tall bushes, clearly cultivated by humans, behind which hid an armored off-road vehicle essential for a combat team.
The expansion of the Space had also strengthened her spiritual power, allowing her to precisely sense a sniper rifle aimed at her from the top of the vehicle.
Ye Nai didn’t get off the bike; instead, she kept both feet on the ground, slowly backing away.
Signaling that she wasn’t going to steal the prey.

To avoid getting shot for real.
But the spores circling around were already swiftly moving into position.
She had just backed away a few steps when the spores successfully took their places, fully controlling the people on the vehicle.
Ye Nai casually commanded the spores to bring the male buffalo into the Space, only then did she start the motorcycle to collect the spoils of war from the off-road vehicle.
Four people on the vehicle, three inside, and one on the roof, all of them stiffly maintaining their original positions, their eyes could not move, nor could they speak.
Ye Nai climbed onto the roof and saw the sniper’s index finger resting by the trigger, ready to pull and release the bullet from the chamber at any moment.
She collected the people into the Space, then lay down in the original spot, squinting her eyes to peer through the scope, hey, it was still targeting her.
Why didn’t they immediately kill her when they saw her appear? It might have been her authentic military combat uniform that made them hesitate. Anyway, she couldn’t be bothered to ask. In the struggle for supremacy, it was their loss for not shooting at first chance.
After jumping off the vehicle, Ye Nai stored both herself and the vehicle into Space. She had no interest in who they were or where their companions might be. She left behind a large number of spores to sink into the soil, erasing the tracks of the vehicle, then mounted her motorcycle and took off.
Just like with the young master she had dealt with before, this single vehicle with four men was well-equipped with weapons. No matter how you looked at it, they seemed quite capable. Yet daring to hunt the great wild ox with so few people seemed a bit overly confident to Ye Nai. The most likely scenario was they had spotted their prey and were waiting for the rest of their team.
To avoid being ambushed, she quickly made her escape.
Five or six minutes after her departure, two armored off-road vehicles with noticeable wear and tear arrived nearby.
Four dark-skinned men disembarked from each vehicle, displaying a mature and worldly air. They varied in height and build, each with closely cropped hair, some even had blue scalps, while the team leader sported a shiny bald head, looking as appetizing as a peeled boiled egg.
The bald team leader shouted into his walkie-talkie a few times, but it remained eerily silent without any response.
"Radio Operator, is this the location?"
"Yes, Captain, this is where we lost the signal."
The short radio operator was sweating profusely as the electronic screen before him showed that a vehicle’s location and communication signals had both vanished.
"Then they must’ve encountered someone?" The team was filled with resentment as they paced back and forth. "It must have been a Space User who took everything, vehicle included."
"Earth Wood Department team member, look for the tire tracks. I refuse to believe that Space User could fly."
The captain, with a face full of rage, couldn’t stand the thought of losing an armored off-roader worth millions and four experienced team members. It would be enough to keep any captain awake all night.
After the Earth Wood Department team member conducted a search, there was no sign of tire tracks nearby; any traces to be found were far away and didn’t match the location where the signal was lost.
Ye Nai had just left, and they arrived moments after, missing her by mere minutes. The newly empowered spores had already completed their task, promoting the growth of plants with an efficiency that could rival that of a Wood Element Awakener, covering up the tracks Ye Nai left behind.
Because everything followed natural laws, just accelerated by an unseen hand, there were no signs that could alert them.
"This isn’t right! The other party not only has a Space User but must also have an Earth Wood Department team member who wiped away all traces."
"Can’t you find any residual superpower traces?"
"There’s no residue."
"No residue? How is that possible?"
The captain was furious, and the others were equally incredulous.
"We came as soon as we saw the signal was lost; it’s been less than half an hour, not even an hour. How can there be no superpower residue left?"
"... Could it be there’s a supreme master?"
The situation that defied common sense left everyone dumbfounded.
"A supreme master? Could it be that this Secret Realm contains some unparalleled treasure?!"
They had hurried here in response to a team member’s report of spotting a solitary male wild ox, only to find upon arrival that the people, vehicle, and ox were all gone.
After a standoff, they all reluctantly accepted their loss. As for the speculative treasure and master, it was nothing more than conjecture. If such fortune truly existed, it wouldn’t be their private squad’s turn to partake in the spoils. Managing to scavenge some leftovers would be considered good luck.
After they retreated, another private military squad, identifiable by their team emblem on the vehicle, arrived following the vanished communication signal but ended up unable to find their Boss Xiao Dan.
