Immediately, Jiang Yuan saw the layer of white velvet-like fungal filaments under his feet rapidly wither into a thin gray layer of dry skin. The slightly dry summer wind swept across the mountains, and occasionally, some fragments of the dry skin were blown far away among the paper cranes and paper sculptures fluttering in the air.
