Zombie Cultivation Across Worlds-Chapter 79 – Quick, retreat! The immortal is coming for you!
However, when they broke through the encirclement of the mushroom men and reached the eastern district, they found the squad left behind standing in place, eyes vacant, occasionally twitching.
Various colorful mushrooms had already begun to grow on their bodies.
Among them stood a yellow figure.
With a strange cap on its head.
It didn't look like a mushroom man.
More like a humanoid formed by a combination of mushrooms.

"My name is... Stinky Yellow Mushroom... very glad... to meet... you."
The yellow humanoid raised its head and looked at Captain and the others, speaking human words.
Captain, Feng Biao, and the others turned pale.
"Did I... did I hear wrong? Did it just speak human language?"
An ordinary person cried out in terror.
The rest of the ordinary people were equally terrified.
Although its speech was a bit stilted.
It was indeed human language!
The zombie outbreak had been ongoing for several years, and they had seen all sorts of strange things.
But this was the first time they had encountered a transcendent creature that could speak!
"Flesh is weak..."
"Why not join me... and become mushrooms."
Stinky Yellow Mushroom laughed heartily.
Suddenly, a large amount of yellow spores erupted from the mushrooms all over its body, as if about to envelop Captain and the others.
At this moment, a bird covered in mushrooms suddenly flew through the crowd and landed beside Stinky Yellow Mushroom.
A hoarse, unpleasant voice came from the bird's mouth.
"Retreat... quickly retreat..."
"The immortal is... looking for you..."
Stinky Yellow Mushroom was stunned, "Immortal?"
"Impossible... hasn't he always been... in East Lake City...?"
"I'm just about to... assimilate them."
"I can't... retreat."
The mushroom bird spoke again, "This is... Ink Ghost Umbrella's... order."
Stinky Yellow Mushroom frowned, "Big brother? Alright then..."
The yellow spore mist that had just been released suddenly retracted, returning to Stinky Yellow Mushroom.
Stinky Yellow Mushroom looked at them deeply.
It wanted to leave, yet hesitated to do so immediately.
It seemed to be still in doubt.
Captain, Feng Biao, and the others were about to resist, but seeing this scene, they were taken aback.
What's going on?
Neither fighting nor retreating, what's the reason!
"Hmph, consider yourselves... lucky."
Stinky Yellow Mushroom snorted coldly, turning to leave.
However, just as it turned around, a black chain, like a giant python, descended from the sky.
In the blink of an eye, it enveloped its entire body.
Like a rope, binding it tightly!
Stinky Yellow Mushroom was stunned, filled with shock and anger.
"Immortal!"
"It's the immortal's... method!"
The mushroom bird screeched, flapping its wings to flee.
Whoosh.
A fierce wind blew.
Captain, Feng Biao, and the others couldn't open their eyes.
When they could see again, they found that Stinky Yellow Mushroom had vanished.
The mushroom bird had been torn into two pieces, its flesh and mushrooms mixed into a pulp.
Lying on the ground, it was lifeless.
Feng Biao was dumbfounded, "Where's the yellow mushroom man?"
The survivors looked at each other, bewildered.
Indeed.
Where did it go?
Captain repeatedly chewed over that word.
"Immortal?"
"What were the mushroom bird and mushroom man talking about?"
Rustle.
At this moment, the mushroom men seemed to receive some signal and retreated like a tide.
The survivors stood on the ruins, shouting to the sky, crying tears of joy.
"We survived! We survived!"
"The Boat Gang stands tall!"
Captain looked at Feng Biao and the others, speaking solemnly, "The matter of the yellow mushroom man must not be disclosed."
A yellow mushroom man capable of speaking human language was already terrifying enough.
The retreat of the mushroom men was not because they were driven back, but because they voluntarily withdrew.
This was even more terrifying.
It meant that one day, they would return.
But this matter must not be told to the ordinary people.
Otherwise, it would surely lead to a loss of trust in the Boat Gang.
Feng Biao nodded heavily, looking at those around him, he said fiercely, "Anyone who leaks what happened today, I'll be the first to throw them into the sea to feed the fish!"
The few survivors shuddered, nodding vigorously.
They were Feng Biao's trusted aides and understood the terrible consequences of speaking out about this.
...
Haotai Hotel.
Chu Xuan looked with interest at the yellow mushroom man before him.
Earlier, when Captain, Feng Biao, and the others went to the eastern district, they were trapped by this yellow mushroom man, and he had been watching all along.
He hadn't planned to intervene.
The life and death of everyone in this world had nothing to do with him.
However, from the moment this yellow mushroom man spoke, it successfully piqued Chu Xuan's interest.
Even the Foundation Establishment stage demonic beasts of the Cangxuan World had only just awakened intelligence and couldn't speak human language.
At least they needed to condense an inner core to speak human words.
Yet this yellow mushroom man, clearly far weaker than a Foundation Establishment stage demonic beast, could speak.
This was why Chu Xuan decided to act.
"Your name is Stinky Yellow Mushroom?"
Chu Xuan looked down at it, smiling.
Stinky Yellow Mushroom looked at Chu Xuan with fear, nodding.
Chu Xuan chuckled, "The immortal you speak of is me."
"How did you know about me?"
Stinky Yellow Mushroom remained silent.
Chu Xuan smiled faintly, "Seems like you respond to force, not kindness."
He gestured with his hand.
The Blood Refinement Corpse Fire from his spiritual sea was drawn to his palm.
Buzz!
The blood-red flames burned fiercely.
Within them seemed to be the wailing of countless vengeful spirits.
As Chu Xuan brought the flames closer, the surface of Stinky Yellow Mushroom's body began to char and curl.
In the blink of an eye, he smelled the aroma of roasted mushrooms.
"Hmm... smells quite good."
Chu Xuan chuckled.
"Ah..."
Stinky Yellow Mushroom screamed in agony.
It feared fire the most.
This "immortal" could actually control flames!
"If you don't answer, you'll become fuel."
Chu Xuan said calmly.
The Blood Refinement Corpse Fire continued to burn.
In the blink of an eye, it engulfed Stinky Yellow Mushroom's lower half completely.
The aroma of roasted mushrooms grew even stronger.
The scent wafted into the noses of Little Dragon, Little Tiger, and Little Leopard, making them a bit hungry.
"Roar roar, roar roar roar!"
Little Leopard pointed at Stinky Yellow Mushroom, smiling sheepishly.
As if asking if it could take a bite.
Chu Xuan laughed heartily, "Of course, once it's cooked, you can eat as much as you want."
"Roar roar roar!"
The three corpses howled in excitement.
Chu Xuan's words completely shattered Stinky Yellow Mushroom's psychological defenses.
It cried out in fear, "I'll talk, I'll talk!"
"We... have known... about you for a long time."
"So we specifically... avoided East Lake... City."
"You're very strong... Big brother said... not to provoke you."
Chu Xuan's interest was piqued even further.
We?
Big brother?
These mushrooms had companions?
Under his questioning, Stinky Yellow Mushroom had no choice but to reveal everything.
"Boss Ink Ghost Umbrella, second Leopard Spotted Mushroom, third Green Hat Mushroom, fourth Stinky Yellow Mushroom."
Chu Xuan recited the names, chuckling.
These were clearly four types of poisonous mushrooms.
After absorbing spiritual energy, they became transcendent creatures and took these as their names.
