Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 327: The Dangers of the Otherworld - Hurry Back (3)

"This is war," they said. "A few deaths don’t matter as long as we can capture or kill that enemy, then we can report back to our superiors."

The commander didn’t care how many soldiers under his command died; the rear would always replenish them. What mattered to him was that he was in charge of the Secret Realm and was getting killed by an enemy whose gender was unknown. If he couldn’t resolve it quickly, he might be demoted to serve as an infantryman on the front line.

"Tightly guard the entrance and exit of the Secret Realm. When the enemy breaks out from the Transmission Platform, they will definitely try to escape. Just block them there, and the superiors will understand the losses incurred."

The commander agreed with the Great Witch’s suggestion and issued the third order.

The entrance and exit of the Secret Realm were ready for a tough defense, but Ye Nai was wandering around inside the Secret Realm using Space Teleportation, waiting for the spores near the Transmission Platform to finish growing.

If she encountered the enemy camp while roaming, she would clear it out as she went.

After extracting the route and direction from the captured enemy commander to travel from the Transmission Platform to the entrance and exit of the Secret Realm, Ye Nai allowed the adversary to die peacefully.

After raiding two enemy camps, Ye Nai returned to the vicinity of the Transmission Platform, where the spores were still growing and the fungal mat had just formed; she needed to wait a little longer.

Not far from this Transmission Platform, she found the Headquarters and immediately cast the seed spores there, then rushed to the entrance and exit of the Secret Realm.

Upon reaching her destination, it was no surprise to see it heavily guarded; the fully armed Patrol Team was patrolling in crisscross patterns, leaving no blind spots.

Then Ye Nai noticed an interesting difference.

The enemy-controlled entrance and exit of the Secret Realm was not towering, but appeared so ordinary it was like a small gate.

It was just that this small gate wasn’t installed on a building but positioned in the middle of the camp.

She threw spores there, waiting for them to grow and consume the camp.

To launch a surprise attack or not, she was only one person with limited firepower. Relying on shooting and bombing slowly, the enemy’s reinforcements would have probably arrived before she could take it down. It was better to wait for the spores to grow into a fungal mat and swallow the camp in one gulp.

If she had brought a large force with enough firepower for a cannon barrage, she would definitely choose to barrage the area.

After dispersing the spores, Ye Nai left and returned near the enemy Headquarters, waiting for the spores here to complete their final growth.

To quicken the process, Ye Nai threw a group of enemy soldiers’ corpses to the spores to enhance their nutrients.

She didn’t take out the Otherworld Heart Core in her hand, as the Heart Core’s energy was rich and, with a Wizard present, using it would immediately draw attention. Slower was better than letting the enemy guess that someone was tampering with their Transmission Platform.

While waiting, Ye Nai also took out some dry food to satisfy her hunger.

The spores decomposed the squad of enemy corpses, and with a sufficient supply of organic matter, their growth accelerated. Just as Ye Nai finished eating, the Transmission Platform was enveloped by the fully grown Fungal Mycelium.

She instantly retrieved it.

Once retrieved, she fled.

Heading straight for the camp at the entrance and exit of the Secret Realm.

The previously dispersed spores had also grown a continuous Fungal Mycelium during this time. Ye Nai caused the Fungal Mycelium to release a large amount of spores which, carried by the wind, landed on every enemy soldier in the camp. Without expending any firepower, she took them all into her space.

The camp guarding the entrance and exit was thus emptied.

At the Headquarters, they now discovered that the Transmission Platform was missing, plunging the place into chaos.

"My Transmission Platform? My Transmission Platform!" The commander was both furious and angry, "Where did the Transmission Platform go? Great Witch!"

The Great Witch’s face was also dark.

"This person can actually move the Transmission Platform. This is a formidable enemy, stronger than any we’ve seen before."

"You don’t need to tell me. The focus now is to get the Transmission Platform back; otherwise, without reinforcements, we’ll all die here!"

Watching the commander who had no respect for him, the Great Witch didn’t argue about respecting himself and such nonsense. Instead, he turned and walked out of the tent and stood on the ground, using Wind Witchcraft to search for that despicable enemy.

The Great Witch didn’t need a reminder from the commander. He was aware that without the Transmission Platform, they all would die there, and he was also eager to find it.

But no matter how he searched, the winds in all directions of the wilderness brought no good news.

The Great Witch tried twice to no avail, limited by his power, his witchcraft could not cover the entire Secret Realm, making it extremely difficult to locate the enemy, whose hiding place was unknown.

Just as he was about to call for a vehicle to depart and continue the search elsewhere, he heard the Commander shouting for the formation to leave.

The Great Witch hurried back to the barracks.

"What happened? Did you find him?"

"The portal is silent," the Commander said, his face ashen.

"What?!" exclaimed the Great Witch, horrified, "It’s over, they’ve broken through!"

"We’re finished too!"

The team assembled quickly, and everyone rode their horses to the portal.

The Commander reacted swiftly; just as he discovered that there was no response from the portal, Ye Nai had cleared out the entire camp.

She had not only evacuated the people but had also thoroughly looted every building, not even leaving behind a bucket of water or a grain of food.

After finishing, she calmly walked through the Secret Realm’s portal and stood on the land of Blue Star.

Outside the Secret Realm was an open space, hot and humid; standing for a moment made her feel sweaty.

It was clearly a tropical, rainy environment.

Given the current transportation conditions and the fact that it was a student team like Shi Lin conducting a mission abroad, it was likely a place south of the border line, once neighboring land adjacent to Dahua Country.

Ye Nai peeled off her windbreaker, but it didn’t feel much better; she wiped the sweat from her forehead. Just standing for a moment made her feel sticky with sweat.

Looking around, she saw no sign of people or buildings within view; she immediately released a large number of spores, and to encourage faster growth, she also threw a small piece of Otherworld Heart Core.

The effect was extraordinary.

As soon as it was thrown, the Fungal Mycelium began to grow wildly, forming a defensive circle around the open space and paving a path outward.

Ye Nai watched patiently for a minute, ensuring the Fungal Mycelium was growing normally, then returned to the Secret Realm.

Using her steps as a measure, she set up the marked Transmission Platform about ten steps away from the portal.

To make it look plausible, there was also an excavator placed beside it.

Afterward, she took out the Heart Core, started the Transmission Platform confidently, and walked over.

What she saw was utter darkness.

The time difference between the Secret Realm and Blue Star was considerable, but with the Otherworld, it was huge. As she ran back and forth in the Secret Realm and waited for the spores to grow—a matter of mere minutes—in Shi Lin’s world, dozens of hours had passed.

So whether it was day or night was irrelevant.

Because the Transmission Platform illuminated and the Space Vortex appeared, Shi Lin and the others quickly took cover behind the vehicles, all aiming their guns.

When they saw it was Ye Nai who had come through, they relaxed and quickly surrounded the Transmission Platform.

"The big boss is back!"

"Were you worried?"

Ye Nai stood on the Transmission Platform without stepping off; behind her, the Space Vortex kept spinning, dizzying to watch for too long.

"Not at all, we know there’s a huge time difference between the two places, a few minutes there is several hours here, waiting a few more days wouldn’t matter."

"That won’t do, wait a few more days and the wounded will have healed."

"Hahaha~"
