The Blood Clan members looked astonished and deeply disappointed. What they had eaten did not taste good at all.
"Try other humans."
They seemed unwilling to accept it. They pounced on the others and kept biting, but the result was the same.
Those humans had no flesh or blood at all; they were completely filled with white mycelium.
"Damn it!"
The Blood Clan members were furious.
But just then, the Blood Clan members who had eaten Mushroom suddenly felt their stomachs churn. Waves of searing pain struck them.
"Urgh—"
They howled in pain as their skin began to writhe, and red fleshy tumors bulged out one after another.
They grew denser and denser, piling atop each other until they quickly lost all human form.
Clearly, they had been parasitized by Little Mushroom's spores.
Those Blood Clan members collapsed in agony, convulsing without end. The tumors on their bodies creaked and squirmed, unexpectedly gathering back into human shapes before rising from the ground.
"This..."
Shiva and the other Blood Clan members were horrified by the sight.
The Mimic Humans wore dull expressions, like puppets on strings, and spoke in unison.
"You fell for it..."
As soon as they spoke, fungal spores drifted from their bodies like mist, enveloping the Blood Clan forces.
Some of the weaker ones were parasitized again. Their bodies convulsed as they fell painfully to the ground.
The bizarre scene before them gave Shiva and the others quite a fright.
"Everyone, be careful! This is a trap! Tear them apart, now!"
The Blood Clan forces immediately roared and charged forward, fighting the Mimic Humans.
Those Mimic Humans were not particularly strong and naturally could not withstand the Blood Clan's assault. Before long, they were all torn to pieces.
Their mangled bodies fell to the ground as white mycelium
