Spread

After hearing the final conclusion of the Forest Will, Lu Heng did not ask any further questions.

He raised his hand, lit up the Wristband on his wrist, and opened the public survival channel.

Previously, he had only left a warning message in the channel and then immediately closed it, never checking for any follow-up actions. At this moment, he simply wanted to confirm whether any survivors had heeded the warning and retreated in time.

The messages scrolling through the channel have completely changed.

Gone was the previous fervor of rushing into the forest, gone was the clamor of forming teams to explore the wilderness; all that remained on the screen was a panicked disarray.

The constantly updated comments are all true stories from those who experienced them firsthand.

Something's wrong! The native creatures of this forest are completely acting strangely!

They actively surround and block humans! This is not normal behavior at all!

I've explored many wilderness areas and never encountered a situation where a group of survivors is targeting me like this!

[Luckily, I saw the warning and retreated quickly; otherwise, I would have been completely surrounded and killed by the monsters in the fog!]

Following closely behind were numerous complaints and impatience from survivors who had already ventured deep into the forest and were caught in a dilemma.

[Too late! I've already ventured deep inside, and monsters are everywhere!]

Couldn't you have been clearer? A single, vague statement—who would have thought the native inhabitants would collectively turn against us!

[Stop arguing, get out of here! This is no place for a human to stay!]

The public opinion across the channel has completely shifted from the previous greed and restlessness to the current fear and panic.

Lu Heng quietly scanned a few lines.

No one mocked or slandered anyone throughout the entire process.

All that remained in everyone's hearts were lingering fear, resentment, and panic.

After reading it, he swiped away and closed the channel.

It's none of his business.

The warning has been given; the choice is up to the individual.

From this point on, there were no more ties.

Lu Heng suppressed any extraneous emotions in his eyes, drawing all his attention back to himself.

In the past, every time he used the Blood Taisui, he deliberately suppressed and restrained it.

Whether it's a small-scale skirmish or a high-intensity team battle, the spread, devouring power, and expansion limit of the Blood Taisui are always firmly locked within the battle area.

It is only used to kill enemies in front of you, and only for controlling a local area.

He always held back, always played it safe.

But today is different.

The inhabitants of the entire tributary territory have become disloyal, colluding with foreign enemies and creating chaos. The Global Region needs to be eradicated and completely wiped out.

Lu Heng no longer held back any of his strength.

This is the first time since he took control of the Blood Taisui that he has proactively, thoroughly, and without reservation completely lifted the restrictions.

Buzz--

The invisible source vibrated and exploded from within.

The dark red power dormant deep within flesh and blood instantly awakened, breaking free from all constraints.

Countless fine, blood-red Mycelium broke through the soil layer, no longer appearing scattered and fragmented as before, but spreading outwards in patches and networks, carrying a domineering erosive force.

No longer confined to a small battlefield.

Target – the entire Mist Forest.

The crimson tide radiated outwards at an extremely rapid speed, penetrating the forest soil, seeping through rock crevices, overflowing fallen dead trees, and extending continuously along the undulating hilly terrain.

The entire forest floor was instantly pierced by blood-red veins.

Lu Heng's mental power was deeply bound to the Blood Taisui, and his Global Region vision instantly expanded.

The location, condition, and combat strength of all creatures in the forest were clearly presented in my perception, without any blind spots or omissions.

He immediately issued the absolute order for a layered purge.

All low-level, weak, and defenseless native Aberrant and beast creatures do not require control.

Anything touched by the blood vines is instantly shredded, its flesh, energy, and primordial essence absorbed and devoured by the Mycelium.

A continuous stream of energy from weak creatures surges into the Blood Taisui, nourishing the entire crimson web and causing it to expand faster and cover a wider area.

The approach to dealing with high-level native creatures that are physically strong, fierce in combat, and capable of surviving is completely different.

The thick, blood-red main thread precisely locked onto its target, piercing through their fur defenses and seeping into their bodies through the gaps in their flesh.

Do not kill, do not destroy, do not devour.

Instead, it has become deeply parasitic and forcibly seized power.

The powerful monster, which had been frantically fleeing and roaring in counterattack, suddenly froze.

The fierce, wild look in his eyes quickly faded, and his pupils were covered with layers of blood.

Their autonomy was forcibly suppressed, and control of their bodies was completely transferred to Lu Heng.

In a short moment, countless local high-level creatures that had been causing chaos in the forest were transformed into silent, controlled, and waiting blood-red Puppet.

At the edge of the woodland, the remaining survivors who hadn't had time to completely evacuate witnessed this extremely bizarre scene.

Everyone froze in place, a chill running down their spines.

They watched as the crimson Mycelium swept across the entire forest, watched the arrogant and domineering monsters vanish silently, and watched the ferocious beasts freeze instantly, their eyes changing in a strange light.

What terrified them most was--

This boundless, terrifying torrent of blood deliberately avoided humanity from beginning to end.

The Mycelium past your feet and around your side, and even when it's right next to you, it won't cause you any harm.

There was no attack, and no impact.

But the more this is the case, the more suffocating the scene becomes.

If it were direct slaughter, people would still have the awareness to resist or escape.

However, this bizarre power that allowed them to control the Global Region and control life and death was completely beyond their comprehension.

"Run!"

"Regardless of whether it hurts anyone or not, we absolutely cannot stay here!"

"This is too eerie! This forest is completely ruined!"

No one dared to linger for even a second longer.

Survivors who were initially hesitant and hoping to snag a bargain have had all their greed shattered.

Suppressing their intense heart palpitations, the group turned and rushed out of the forest boundary, desperately trying to escape the desolate forest that was being shrouded in blood.

Within minutes, all traces of humans were completely cleared from the outer perimeter of the Mist Forest.

There were no further outside interferences inside the venue.

Lu Heng stood at the boundary, his mind calm, and continued to urge the Blood Taisui to weave the net with all its might.

The crimson threads crisscrossed and overlapped, initially spreading in all directions, gradually forming a gigantic, deadly net that covered the entire Mist Forest and connected the surrounding Hill Valley.

Where the net is placed, all dissent and disorder are completely suppressed.

The vast, Mist Forest was completely under his control.
