"Hey! Pull yourself together, Han Jincheng!"
In the slippery underwater rock tunnel, Shen Gong Yuandong kept shaking Han Jincheng's body... But no matter how hard he tried, Han Jincheng gave him no response.
"He's dead." Wu Dalang frowned. "That guy got what he deserved! Still, dying here was letting him off easy!"
"That can't be..." Shen Gong Yuandong frowned as well. Han Jincheng had been wounded by his own hand, but he knew exactly how much force he had used. Han Jincheng's injuries couldn't possibly have been this severe—let alone killed him outright. "What is this?!"
Shen Gong Yuandong instinctively looked at his palm. At some point, it had become stained with some glowing substance... It was currently emitting a strange purple-green fluorescence.
Wu Dalang leaned closer and examined it. "It looks like some kind of luminescent fungus. You probably picked it up by touching the substance growing on Han Jincheng's body."
Shen Gong Yuandong immediately turned Han Jincheng's corpse over. Sure enough, he found similar material on his neck. He then tore open Han Jincheng's clothes, and his brows instantly furrowed. "His entire body is covered in it?"

After a ball of spiritual fire burned through it, Shen Gong Yuandong said solemnly, "Fortunately, we discovered it early. This fungus seems capable of invading the meridians, and it grows rapidly... Han Jincheng must have died after the fungal threads invaded his heart meridian without him realizing
