Seko dived back underground.

The situation of Li Qing and others has become quite passive.

Indeed, Seko's strength and speed were excessive, even more so than the strongest Chainfingers on their team.

Moreover, his stand-in is still a covering stand-in that is directly worn on the body and directly strengthens the body, which means that he is not only powerful and fast, but also does not have the Achilles' heel of the weak body like other stand-in messengers.

But even so, they actually have a lot of ways to deal with Saiko.

The Chainfingers can lead everyone in pursuit, and the numerical advantage is enough to easily make up for the difference in strength and speed.

But here's the problem...

Now Sai is not fighting alone.

The carnivorous fungus that permeated the air and grew on Li Qing and the others was Saiko's best comrade-in-arms.

With these fungi there, Li Qing and the others didn't dare to go to the "low place" at all.

This means that they cannot move and flee, they cannot chase after them, they can only be trapped on this wooden platform, passively responding to the enemy's attack at any time.

Seko clearly recognizes this, too.

Soon after he disappeared underground, he unhurriedly swam to a safe position more than ten meters away, and then poked a head out of the ground, revealing his position clearly:

"Ahh

"It's a bit of a hassle."

Sai Ke was not in a hurry to fight at all, but just looked at Li Qing with a dignified expression with that slightly arrogant look:

"You blind man has sharper ears than I do."

"Wherever I swim, you'll find me, right?"

"But... HIAHIAHIA...”

He laughed so hard that his voice was distorted:

"What if you can find me... Do you dare to take half a step off that platform? ”

"Hahaha... Hit me, do you dare to fight back? ”

"Bastard!"

Annoyed by the teasing, Misda immediately fired a bullet at Saiko's twisted and sinister smile.

The bullets whizzed out, drawing a concise arc.

And Saiko was like a cunning and treacherous rat with a hidden head and tail, and only after a slight attack, he burrowed into the hole and never showed his head again.

This land is his best shield.

In the face of Saiko, who can sink into the earth at any time, no matter how accurate the bullet is, it can only scratch a useless spark on the ground in the end.

"It's gone again..."

Misda clenched her pistol tightly, and her scalp tingled:

"Damn... How can you fight this kind of enemy?! ”

"He's right, we don't even dare to go 'low' now."

"That guy who can dive into the ground at any time is completely invincible to us now!"

"This..."

Everyone frowned in unison.

Most of them have a lot of combat experience, but in the face of such an inexplicable situation, even these stand-in messengers who combine wisdom and courage cannot solve it.

No way...

Saiko and Joclatter's stand-in ability is just too strong.

One of them can travel "low" underground and pull people down "low", while the other spreads fungi so that people die as soon as they reach "low".

It's simply a combination of unsolvable.

"I can't help it..."

Giorno couldn't think of a way to solve it after thinking about it, so he had to come up with a plan for self-protection for the time being:

"I'm going to let the golden experience push this wooden platform to continue to extend now."

"When the logs stretched out next to the small buildings outside the lawn, we jumped into the buildings and climbed straight up to the second floor."

"As long as it's not the ground under our feet, that guy shouldn't be able to attack us with the means of retreat."

This is indeed a good way to avoid enemy attacks.

But here's the problem...

Saiko is crazy, but not stupid.

When the wooden platform above the ground began to spread rapidly into the distance, he knew that Li Qing and the others wanted to escape.

"Want to run?"

"It's useless, it's too late!"

Saiko's crazy voice came faintly from the thick layer of earth:

"The piece of wood you are stepping on... I've been transformed into a 'liquid'! ”

As soon as the words fell, before everyone had time to step on the "wooden floor" and take a few steps forward, the hard and thick log became... A puddle of fluffy and soft wood mud.

The hard ground turned into an unfathomable swamp.

"Damn it, jump out!"

Li Qing sensed the sound of the mud surging under his feet, and suddenly felt a tingling of his scalp:

"This 'swamp' is at least two or three meters deep."

"If we fall in, we'll be finished!"

The wooden platform had completely turned into a "swamp", and if they wanted to jump out, they had to jump to the lower lawn.

This is sure to trigger fungal outbreaks.

However, at this moment, they have no choice.

It is better to jump on a lawn twenty centimeters lower than to sink into a swamp that is several meters deep.

Thereupon...

At this critical moment, Li Qing and the others all jumped onto the lawn outside the "swamp" regardless of the mentality of drinking to quench their thirst.

"Ahhh

Fogg soon let out a terrible scream.

Compared to the others, he was the one with the worst fungal attacks.

Both feet had been gnawed early, and he had just been able to barely stand on his feet thanks to Apaji's support.

And now...

At the moment when the altitude became lower, the fungus, which had been difficult to contain, suddenly erupted in a predatory posture like a powerful army that had received a signal to attack.

The flesh is devoured, and the bones then decay.

The legs that Fogg had just grown were quickly swallowed clean by the fungus.

If it weren't for the fact that the fungus had a powerful anesthetic effect, he would have fainted from the sharp pain of losing his legs by now.

Of course, it's not just Fugg, it's everyone else who's not much better.

The fungus also erupted on them, gnawing on their flesh and blood.

Although it didn't get to the point of breaking their hands and feet, it was enough to make their skin festering and their flesh torn.

Even Li Qing, whose physical fitness far surpassed that of mortals and was the strongest resistance to fungi, directly lost one-fifth of his blood volume because of the small jump that was often "low" just now.

What's even more frightening is that this is just the beginning.

The ferocity of the fungus, activated by the high degree of change, began to multiply, expand, and eat away at his life.

"It's over!"

"The fungus has already started to multiply!"

Misda clutched his chest and neck, whose skin had been gnawed off by the fungus, and shouted in his distorted voice:

"Giorno... Quick..."

"Again, build another wooden platform!"

"It's useless." Giorno sighed softly.

Even if he was unwilling to give in, he had to face this desperate situation with no way out:

"The enemy can liquefy the ground again at any time."

"Rebuilding a wooden platform will only allow us to experience another fungal outbreak like we just did."

"What then!"

Misda's throat was about to be bitten by the fungus: "If it goes on like this..."

"These multiplying fungi alone are enough to kill us!"

"No way."

Giorno gave a desperate reply:

"The stand-in messenger who released the murderous fungus should still be on the helicopter."

"And that helicopter..."

"It's so far away from us that even Li Qing, who has the longest range, can't reach it."

He looked up at the sky in the distance, and said helplessly:

"That evasive creature is hiding beneath our feet now, ready to attack at any moment."

"To get close to that helicopter, you have to defeat him."

"What should I do!"

Misda is already desperate.

After an experience, he no longer fears death.

But like this, he can't even fight back decently, like a terminally ill patient on the sickbed, suffocating to death, it's really not the heroic ending he wants:

"If you want to deal with that fungi guy, you have to defeat this refuge rat first."

"But in order to defeat this refuge rat, we must first get rid of the fungal infection."

"Isn't this an endless loop with no solution?!!

Misda screamed feebly.

But Li Qing suddenly turned his head and stared at Misda with his dim eyes:

"Wait..."

"You just said... Get rid of fungal infections? ”

He frowned tightly, and a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind.

There is one very important thing that he has been overlooking:

"Guys, have you ever wondered..."

"Fungi have no intelligence at all, they are relying on instinct to unconsciously multiply, spread, and infect."

"We're all flesh and blood, and we're all breeding grounds for fungi, so this guy we're hiding under our feet..."

"Why was he spared?"
