Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi..

Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Arriving at the Sky Smoke Secret Realm Shrouded in Thick Fog
 

The value of the Sky Smoke specialties order alone was over one hundred thousand.

It must be said that during the days Ye Nai had been traveling, Yu Qing’s business had been flourishing.

Ye Nai replied to her mother that the wild buffalo meat would be sent tomorrow, and the specialties from the Sky Smoke Secret Realm would have to wait until she came out of the Secret Realm.

After resting for a night in the hotel, the next morning Ye Nai checked out, found the local Xueling Cold Chain on the street, and sent three large boxes of wild buffalo meat, then swept up a batch of supplies in the street.

Then, she drove the RV straight to the entrance of the Secret Realm.

She had looked up the local rules online. Due to the extremely high danger of the Sky Smoke Secret Realm, it was a completely wild area. Many warriors and resources had been sacrificed back in the day, yet they still failed to find a safe route to establish a second back-up town, and to this day, there was only one Town #2 inside the Secret Realm.

As for whether there were any safe routes and safe zones inside, there definitely were some, but they belonged to the top secrets of local resident teams and Hunters. The authorities might also have gained a few after continuing to pay a huge price, but outsiders didn’t know about it. Anyway, what the world knew was that there was only one Town #2 in the Sky Smoke Secret Realm.

At the entrance to Town #1, Ye Nai was stopped by the standing guard warriors, who suggested she switch vehicles before entering the Secret Realm. The RV’s skin was thin and could not withstand the claws of the Fog Beasts. It would be easily torn open.

Fog Beasts were the collective term for mutant beasts in the Sky Smoke Secret Realm.

Ye Nai readily agreed, drove into town, switched to an off-road vehicle midway, and entered the Secret Realm.

After passing through the entrance and exit of the Secret Realm, and regaining her sight in Town #2, Ye Nai saw that everything around was covered in a white expanse. The visibility was probably about one or two hundred meters. She could clearly see the hard road outside and the fog lights of the vehicles in front.

Ye Nai also turned on her own vehicle’s fog lights to avoid being rear-ended by vehicles behind her.

She opened a slit in the car window, and a large number of spores drifted away with the wind, scouting, paving, and directing the way ahead. Hidden in the fog and invisible, the Fog Beasts, once touched by spores, became prey to be harvested into the Space.

The mutant plants with medical value were also collected.

Ye Nai planned to accumulate a batch to exchange for the official cycle missions, accumulating points for an upgrade.

Then, she would see if she could completely claim the Sky Smoke Secret Realm.

Such heavy fog that even the military could not build several safe towns, didn’t that imply that the altars here had not been taken by anyone?

In other words, the Secret Realm would be hers.

Realizing this, Ye Nai felt assured. As she drove, she kept releasing a large number of spores out of the car window continuously.

Digging two Secret Realms was really tiring. Although her excavator operation skill had improved greatly, tired was tired.

She had a new idea now that she wanted to test. If it worked, it would save her a lot of effort in the future.

Following the direction of the guiding spores, she drove headlong non-stop for half an hour. Then, Ye Nai stopped. Other than the thick fog that could even cover her vehicle’s hood, she couldn’t see any other vehicle’s lights, nor hear any sounds.

Ye Nai opened the door to get out and collected the car into the Space. In her hand, she carried a fog light that she had just bought on the street, setting its brightness to the maximum.

The air was damp. After standing for a short while, moisture from the fog condensed into droplets on her clothing.

She shook her arms, and the water droplets slid off her waterproof fabric. But soon, her body was covered again with droplets, and her hair was wet. Her face and ears, her entire head, were chilly. Thankfully, the thermal insulation of her clothes and pants was good, so she didn’t feel cold.

Ye Nai put on her hood and tightened the drawstring, standing still and waiting patiently for the spores to send back the location of the first altar.

The spores protecting Ye Nai pulled one predator after another into the space from within the fog. There were only a few mammals, just some wild mice, whose transparent fur and underlying white skin could be clearly seen in the space. Once taken out, they became invisible, blending perfectly with the dense fog. If not for the fact that she was constantly holding them, feeling their warmth and weight, Ye Nai would have thought she lost them.

Apart from the wild mice, there were more cold-blooded animals like snakes and lizards, varying in size and species, most having slimy, slippery waterproof scales. Ye Nai didn’t know about their vision. She grabbed a snake at random, slippery as a freshly caught fish. When she held its head, the tail slipped downward, and when she held its tail, the head did the same.

After throwing it back into the space, her palm was still covered with the slimy mucus, and it took several wet wipes to clean off her hand completely.

While she was distracted, the spores transmitted back their results. Unexpectedly, they weren’t far, just fifty or sixty kilometers away.

After teleporting through space, Ye Nai stood on the ground, feeling the strong wind blowing around her. The fog lights didn’t improve her vision much, and because she couldn’t see clearly, she feared the terrain around her might be dangerous and didn’t dare to walk around at all.

In such a godforsaken place, she didn’t even dare to take out an excavator.

But it was just the right time to test out her idea.

Ye Nai released a large number of spores into the ground under her feet, silently waiting for the spores to penetrate the soil and reach the hollow layer where the altar was buried, so they could directly collect the altar into the space.

This was an inspiration she got from watching spores mine ores earlier—as long as there was a gap that the spores could infiltrate, they could forcefully collect any large ore into the space.

Then, it stood to reason that the altar buried not too deeply underground could be collected in the same way.

Ye Nai believed that in such an environment, it would definitely also be troublesome for the enemy, and since the altar was big and heavy, it probably wasn’t buried very deeply.

Just when she was feeling a bit cold and wanted to walk around to find a safe area to take out the RV and warm up, the spores that had penetrated deep into the soil sent back their feedback.

They found the altar.

Just as Ye Nai guessed, it wasn’t deep. If she had used an excavator, a few digs would have uncovered it.

She immediately deployed a large number of spores and, while waiting for the spores to do their work, she found a safe patch of ground, took out the RV, and cooked a pot of wine-marinated meatballs, savoring them delightfully.

An hour later, as Ye Nai lay resting in the airborne seat, she felt a slight movement in the space – casting her focus, she saw that under the huge ore in the center of the space, there was now a brand-new, intact altar.

The fungus in the space was swarming towards it in great numbers, spreading out quickly and absorbing the energy from the magic patterns and the material of the altar.

“Hahaha, hahaha!”

Ye Nai laughed ecstatically, slapping her thighs, filling the carriage with her triumphant laughter.

After a while, when she finally calmed down, Ye Nai ordered the spores settled in the soil to grow naturally, seeking out mutant plants and mutant beasts for her.

She then took off her coat and climbed into the bunk bed to sleep for a while, to reverse her jet lag.

In her dreams, she kept laughing.

When daylight came in the Secret Realm, Ye Nai woke up from sleep. Outside the RV window, the annoying white fog had dispersed a bit under the sunlight.

But it had only dispersed slightly, from a visibility of one or two hundred meters at night, it expanded to four or five hundred meters.

Ye Nai got out of the RV to have a look and walked more than ten meters in the direction of the wind until she came to a steep slope.
