Chapter 226 225. Sense of Technology

Lin Jun was really annoyed.

Considering that the increasing number of cracks might cause chaos and affect his mushroom garden, he chose to speed up the process. It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one.

But I never expected that this "short pain" would be so painful!

Not only did the Scarecrow Abyss have a big hole on the fifth floor, but another crack also connected to a primeval forest, and a group of various monsters poured out!

In the chaos of the battle, most of the Pujis, who were already few in number at the fifth level, were killed in an instant.

Originally, Lin Jun was not going to care about it, but as luck would have it, another crack opened up connecting to the stone fortress.

Now we have no choice but to fight. What if they are not strong enough at their current level and try to sneak into the stone fortress?

Beast monsters are afraid of the cold and might not come over, but the scarecrow probably doesn't care whether it's cold or not...

The enemies aren't that strong, most are between level 20 and 40, but this is only the fifth floor.

The other levels were also in chaos, but not as chaotic as the fifth level.

The tree demon on the sixth floor led his subordinate Puji to defend the mountain cave and the tree demon forest. The water level on the seventh floor kept dropping, and it was estimated that a big hole had opened up below. I just don't know what happened to those fishmen.

As for the first to fourth layers, Lin Jun is not too concerned. Anyway, there is the underground mycelium network to support them, so they will not be completely out of control.

As for the humans mixed in among them, Lin Jun didn't pay any attention to them at all.

Lin Jun is now participating in the chicken-eating battle on the fifth floor, harassing the war dolls in the core area, and coordinating the demons who come to work in the stone fortress.

In view of the fact that the danger level in the Amethyst Dungeon has increased sharply, Lin Jun asked the demons to temporarily do some work such as feeding fat worms or hunting cold spirits.

Unfortunately, as the demons said, the ice men formed by the cold spirits would become a pile of useless ice once they were broken into pieces.

Pure elemental spirits cannot be captured at all, and they will be reborn after a while, rolled up with ice chips.

It's a pity that it has such skills.

…

Several days passed quietly.

After the humans outside the dungeon noticed the changes in the dungeon, they seemed to have chosen to move away, and now the entire town is almost empty.

On the platform in the core area, a Puji stepped over the charred body of its predecessor that was still emitting black smoke, and crossed the center line again.

The two war dolls began to move, just as they had done countless times before.

Purple shadow like lightning!

A war puppet appeared behind Puji who was trying to escape in an instant. Flames burned on the amethyst spear, which pierced Puji's body and burned it into a ball of black ash.

However, this time, the war puppet's steps of returning became increasingly slower and heavier... Finally, it froze in the middle of the journey, like a puppet with its strings cut, and hunched over dejectedly.

Is this... done?

Puji tried again, stepping carefully across the center line.

On the platform, the two war dolls stood still!

It really worked!

It would be a lie to say that Lin Jun was not excited. Now, the dungeon was infested with all kinds of monsters on every floor, and the fifth floor was littered with corpses in the past few days.

The worst thing is that Lin Jun is unable to recycle most of these "resources". The fungal blanket has been destroyed. The big moths flying in the sky even spared the fungal blanket on the dome.

Several hundred Puji could barely occupy a quarter of the fifth floor.

The situation on the sixth floor was similar, and the seventh floor was even worse. A large crack had leaked 90% of the water away, and a huge deep-water monster emerged directly from the water, looking half-dead.

The strange thing is that Lin Jun didn’t see any fishmen. He wondered if they were all hiding in the temple ruins and didn’t come out.

Not to mention the deep area. If it weren't for the mycelium network tunnel dug in advance, Lin Jun's mycelium network would have broken long ago.

In this situation, Lin Jun really felt that the underground city could not hold on any longer.

Fortunately, the war dolls finally stopped running before the dungeon completely collapsed, just as the yellow book said.

A large number of Puji rushed onto the platform with a clear goal: to carry away the two non-functioning killer gods first!

Not to mention whether Lin Jun has any way to control it to fight, it is full of S-level magic crystals!

Moving to the Stone Castle, even if the Amethyst was not repaired, it would be a little consolation and compensation.

The Pujis arrived in front of the dark door, and surprisingly, they did not encounter any new obstacles. The door was just unusually heavy, and Lin Jun did not sense any fluctuations in the magic circle.

I wonder if it had no protection in the first place, or if it was completely shut down like a war doll?

Several heavy armors pressed against the door, and with a dull friction sound, the heavy door was pushed open inch by inch with difficulty...

Behind the door, Lin Jun finally saw what he had been longing for——

The core of the dungeon!

What's this?

What was before his eyes was not the bright energy sphere as expected, but a giant device that was precise, cold and full of mysterious rhythm.

It occupies the center of the entire core hall. Rather than being a "core", it is more like a silently operating machine made of metal and crystal!

The huge supporting structure with a cold metallic luster constitutes the base and frame. Countless pipes of varying thicknesses are like the roots and branches of a giant tree, deeply penetrating into the floor, walls and dome of the hall, and intertwining with each other.

There is a non-magical energy flowing inside the pipes. It rushes and converges in the core, like the real "nerves" of this dungeon.

In the center, there is a diamond-shaped crystal monument about one person tall suspended. It is crystal clear throughout, but the inside is not pure. Instead, it seems to wrap around an entire miniature nebula, with countless tiny points of light flowing, colliding, and reorganizing at high speed.

How does Lin Jun feel about the scene before him?

It’s like an elementary school student who has just learned to recognize words suddenly walks into the most advanced technology laboratory.

Not to mention controlling it, Lin Jun was afraid that Puji would kick off a "power source" while walking, and then the dungeon would be over!

There is a small door at the back of this control room-like room.

Puji tried to push it away but failed.

After some research, Lin Jun confirmed one thing.

I really can’t repair the dungeon core by myself, so I have to ask the yellow book for help!

——

In a cave not far from the core, a Puji took the yellow book out of its body.

As soon as he came out, Yellow Book noticed the changes around him.

[Ah! The dungeon looks like this!]

[Boss, did you succeed in dealing with the battle doll?]

"Yes, so it's time for you to work," the tone of the language Puji was a little tempting, "Holy Canon, listen, as long as you can repair the dungeon, I will no longer restrict your food intake, and... I will send Pujis to 'hunt' souls for you, and you will be full."

[Really?! Boss! You are simply the most kind and generous person in the world!]

[Don't worry! I will use the fastest speed and the most perfect technology to repair it and make it look brand new!]

However, Lin Jun hadn't finished speaking: "It's just that... the dungeon is too important to me and to us. Therefore, I must ensure that everything is safe and I need to be more cautious..."

[What does that mean?] Huangpishu felt a little confused and uneasy.

"What I mean is..." The voice slowly uttered cold words, "Before I start repairing it, I may need to... first clear out the soul stored in your pages."

[! ! ! ]

At this moment, another fat guy, Puji, walked to the yellow book with heavy steps and "dong dong". Puji's belly deformed, and finally, Xiaohei's head squeezed out from it.

The golden pupils swung around and finally fell on the yellow book!

[Boss... there's no need to do this...] Having already guessed what was going to happen next, Yellow Book made his final struggle.

"Don't worry, Holy Scripture." The voice was so unpleasant, but it was strangely gentle. "Every bit of savings you lose today, I will compensate you tenfold or a hundredfold in the future! This is just a small pain that you must go through on the road to true freedom."

[No – don’t – ah ...
