Chapter 178 177. The Third Round

What's the reason for this amazing defensive power?

Even if it is only LV2, with four layers stacked together, it shouldn't be broken by a single scratch from Xiao Hei.

I opened the small black panel, but didn't see any awakened god-level skill that could break the shield with one strike.

In other words, this [Sacred Barrier] of mine is just a show?

Why?

After thinking for a while, a word appeared in Lin Jun's mind - "faith".

After all, the word "holy" is included in the skill, and it has only been seen on church warriors, but faith...

I can only say I am indebted.

Lin Jun doesn't want to have anything to do with God at all.

This isn't the only defensive skill, so if you can't use it, then don't use it.

Lin Jun decisively threw it into the "junk skill garbage dump" without even looking at it again.

Using a small pearl, she coaxed the distraught Xiao Hei back to the mushroom forest. The deep area was still not suitable for her and she was really afraid that she would fall into the crack one day.

Then Piggy was called in, announcing the end of her vacation.

Let her follow the Puji Brigade of 1,500 people and set out to recover the lost territory first.

During the time when Lin Jun transferred Puji away, caves No. 4, No. 7 and No. 8 were all conquered by monsters.

The poor Pujis were originally just living a carefree life collecting magic power in their own caves, without any conflicts with the world.

Unexpectedly, they were invaded by those greedy and violent monsters!

Now that he has free hands, Lin Jun is going to teach these monsters a lesson!

So Lin Jun gave the piglet the order to kill him without mercy.

Louisa thought for a while: "Uh... it's the same as before?"

"Oh yes, just like before."

Louisa's blood supply was running low and she needed to replenish it, so she set out very willingly.

Of course, she had to set off even if she was reluctant.

Finally, there are these cave dwellers.

Looking at the questions sorted out by Norris, I didn’t expect that cavemen would have so many problems?

Lin Jun didn't want to care at all about how these primitive guys competed for mates. He couldn't ask himself to assign wives to these cave dwellers, could he?

Lin Jun is not the matchmaker!

However, the casualties and destruction caused by the fight were actually depleting Lin Jun's "property" and could not be left unattended.

And their problem of "bullying" Puji must also be reversed.

So, these deep-rooted, primitive and annoying problems...how can we change them?

Make sense?

Lin Jun suspected that cave dwellers could not even understand the word "reason".

There's no need to go through so many twists and turns. To deal with primitive cavemen, just use primitive methods.

Those who fight among themselves, intentionally harm Puji, and destroy the fungal mat facilities, all of them will grow mushrooms for me!

Simple, direct, and full of impact.

There's no need to even explain the new rules to them; the cavemen, having experienced their share of hardship, will naturally change their bad habits.

Apart from these problems, the training of the caveman commander Puji went smoothly under Norris's guidance.

A caveman can generally control about ten to fifteen Pujis.

Lin Jun planned to divide the cave dwellers into groups of ten and try to send them into several caves to serve as guards to see the results.

This is an important entry assessment, and Lin Jun sincerely hopes that the cave dwellers can prove the value of their existence.

Three groups of cave dwellers were reluctantly driven out of Snail Wood to develop new settlements.

Lin Jun turned his gaze back to Norris.

[Level: LV29]

He is just one step away from the silver level threshold and has so many skills, so his actual combat power must be not low.

But it's really not good enough when placed in the deep area.

Remember the equipment reward promised to Norris.

The original plan was to give Norris a set of the church knight's full body armor that he had obtained - although that thing did not add any attributes, its defense was indeed amazing. A single shot from the [Mushroom Cannon] could only create a shallow dent.

But now Lin Jun has given up this idea.

Check out this encounter's monster!

Those claws that can tear rocks apart... Compared to them, an ordinary full armor would probably only have one or two more claws.

The heavy plate armor will seriously slow down Norris's speed and flexibility. He will not be able to dodge or escape, and will die faster.

I feel like Norris still has to go the agile route.

But lighter equipment, such as the leather armor that adventurers like to wear, is probably not as good as Norris's silver scales in terms of defensive power. It is completely unnecessary.

After much thought, why not equip little Norris with all his skills first?

“Norris, how many times have you used sonic detection before?”

Norris, who was trying to repair the broken relationship with the yellow book and hoped that it would continue to tell him stories, took a second to respond after hearing Lin Jun's question, "I can't remember clearly, about ten times..."

Ten times?

In less than a second, Lin Jun used ten [Sound Wave Detection] shots and felt it...

I felt nothing.

There is no discomfort.

Is it a problem with intelligence attributes or because of [Spiritual Integration LV7]?

Speaking of which, if I upgrade this skill myself, I can control more Pujis. Can I achieve the same effect if I add it to Norris?

Norris can control three thousand Puji troops alone?

If such a good thing really happens, I will immediately kidnap... no, recruit humans.

The human civilians who come to the dungeon from time to time recently are very suitable. When the time comes, they will not be afraid of tens of thousands of LV70 troops coming!

Thinking about a bright future, Lin Jun added [Spiritual Integration LV7] to this enhancement list.

[Claw Strike LV9] must also be arranged. Although it is just an ordinary skill, Norris himself has [Claw Strike LV7]. Upgrading existing skills consumes much less energy than adding new skills, and the cost-effectiveness is extremely high.

As for other skills...

[Corrosion Resistance LV8] + [Physical Resistance LV7] + [Magic Resistance LV6] + [Mimesis LV6]

well--

I have developed some feelings for little Norris. This last round of enhancements is all life-saving turtle shell skills.

If it were at the very beginning, "research materials" like [Holy Barrier] would definitely be stuffed in.

Now... the slots are limited, so we can only let the "lucky ones" who come later explore the mysteries of the magic.

[Mimicry] is Lin Jun's commonly used skill, and most of the time it is used to lay mines.

After reaching level 6, the mimicry will no longer become ineffective due to a little damage.

After testing on Puji, the camouflage will now disappear only when its health drops below half.

It can be said that it is very useful. I will upgrade it when Lao Di comes back.

…

"I'm so sorry! Next time I will never use you as a barrier, senior! I swear!" Norris rubbed his paws and begged for mercy to the yellow book.

[You said the same thing last time!]

[What was the result?]

[Didn’t you push me out when I couldn’t resist at the critical moment?]

[Norris, we are done, there will be no more stories!]

“I won’t do that again in the future…” Norris clasped his hands together and promised.

Unfortunately, the yellow book didn't buy it at all, and gave off a cold aura of "don't get close to me".

Just when the man and the book were in a stalemate, a few chubby puffies surrounded them silently.

A wisp of lavender mist with a sweet fragrance began to spread around.

"Hmm?" Norris, who was in a state of panic, suddenly moved his nose twice and his pupils shrank suddenly!

He raised his head alertly and glanced at the "harmless" Pujis around him.

“Boss?” Norris’ voice trembled slightly, and a forced smile appeared on his face. “What’s the matter again?”

This kid actually reacted!

Lin Jun did not answer, but those Pujis that were originally just "quietly releasing air" suddenly stopped acting. They shrank and expanded, and a large number of hallucinogenic spores gushed out, covering Norris completely!

Norris wanted to run but didn't dare to run, and completely lost consciousness in his hesitation...

As for the Yellow Book, for the time being we can only leave it sticking to the self-explosive Puji's butt.
