Chapter 235 234. The initial wish is fulfilled

ah--!

Sunlight!

breeze!

Finally...finally I feel it!

Outside the dungeon, on the top of a huge mushroom tree's cap, the knight Puji was holding up Lin Jun's body steadily, greedily enjoying the long-lost sunbath!

It was a rare occasion that all the humans around had run away, and with the clone as insurance, Lin Jun could finally let his original body out with confidence and embrace the sun he had been longing for!

This is what freedom feels like!

Half a minute later, the knight silently retracted his body, flapped his little wings, and flew lightly down from the mushroom tree.

Lin Jun discovered a cruel fact: he still prefers the cold and humid swamp environment...

The sunlight on the surface of the earth will make your body feel dry after being exposed to it for a long time, even though you have [High Temperature Resistance] and shouldn't be afraid of the sun. Maybe it's the nature of your race?

“Woo——”

A low animal roar sounded under the mushroom tree, and a wind wolf poked its head out from behind the bushes. Its brown eyes stared vigilantly at the scaly-covered Pooji in front of it, its fangs slightly exposed, and its front paws scratched the ground nervously, as if it was hesitating whether to attack.

Lin Jun kindly helped it solve its choice problem.

The tentacle blade slashed across with a "swish", and the wind wolf didn't even have time to howl before it was neatly split in half from head to tail and fell on the fungal carpet.

After the humans left, some low-level monsters began to move tentatively in the surrounding areas.

However, most of them are small fry like this wind wolf, and they really don’t attract much attention from Lin Jun.

Similarly, without human interference, Lin Jun's fungal blanket expanded unbridled, and even the Adventurer's Guild was not spared!

The magic concentration on the surface is much lower than that in the dungeon, and naturally generated slimes are extremely rare. Without these natural enemies, Lin Jun doesn't even need to send Puji to patrol the fungal blanket.

The efficiency of producing magic through photosynthesis here is much higher than that in the Far North. Laying fungal mats in places where sunlight can reach is a sure win!

The magical mushrooms growing all over the ground are one of the main reasons that attract low-level monsters.

Lin Jun would not deliberately hunt and kill these monsters, but would only act as a producer and decomposer.

At the same time, the mycelium network tunnels on the surface began to be dug.

Taking into account that humans will come back in the future, the webway was dug very deep, and another "dungeon" was built next to the underground city. It's exciting to think about it.

Everything on the surface was thriving, and order was gradually restored in the underground city.

Several major space rifts that would give rise to large numbers of monsters have been sealed by Lin Jun, and other large and small rifts are also being cleared one by one.

As for the cracks, Lin Jun did not eliminate all of them, but left a few small openings for Puji to enter and exit, for use in future visits to neighbors.

Let alone anything else, that lush green forest with rich species is obviously suitable for laying fungal mats and growing Pooji. It deserves to be Mushroom Garden No. 4!

Whenever this happened, Lin Jun couldn't help but think of poor Dylan.

The early entrepreneurial employee had only experienced the days of hiding on the fifth floor, but now that he has become successful and bought the entire dungeon, he has no chance to enjoy it.

Given Dylan's bad luck, Lin Jun really didn't think he would be able to come back safely.

Let’s go find a stone tablet and build a cenotaph for him on the fifth floor!

In addition, Lin Jun discovered that, perhaps because of the high intensity of decomposing corpses every day and feeling the soul dissipation process at close range, his [Inspiration] skill upgraded very quickly. In just a few days, it reached level three!

Thanks to this skill, he can now barely sense the soul state of the decomposed object.

Then Lin Jun discovered very clearly that souls are divided into two types.

One type, like the Minotaur, will leave behind a small, solid soul core after being decomposed and devoured, and this core will slowly blend into the surrounding world, like a drop of water merging into the sea.

The other type, like Miraji, ordinary slime, flower demon, etc., will only emit some thin, shapeless fragments after decomposition, which will quickly dissipate in the air like dust, leaving no trace.

After repeated observation and verification, Lin Jun basically determined that the dividing line between the two is "wisdom".

Although the minotaurs have simple and rough behavior patterns and their brains are full of muscles, they are still real intelligent creatures.

Lin Jun plans to go back and study the differences between the souls of different intelligent races when he has the chance.

Lin Jun also did not forget another group of intelligent creatures in the dungeon—the werewolves living on the tenth floor.

The fungal mat has been laid out to ten layers.

Like the unfortunate fifth floor, the tenth floor also became a disaster area for invasion by foreign monsters.

However, unlike the devastated fifth floor, all the monsters that emerged from the cracks were cleaned up by the werewolves on the tenth floor.

If it weren't for the dark brown bloodstains left on the ground and the messy marks left by dragging and friction, one would even have the illusion that this place had never been invaded.

Through the perception of the fungal blanket, Lin Jun also observed the scene of the werewolf tribe from afar.

The stomachs of these werewolves were full and their fur seemed to be shinier, which was completely different from my last impression.

They obviously had no intention of leaving the tenth floor to go to the other side of the rift. Instead, they chose to stick to their homes and turned all the "takeout" that dared to intrude into food reserves.

Unfortunately, these vigilant werewolves had clearly noticed the spread of the fungus blanket. Some of the werewolves would take the initiative to clean up the mycelium around the tribal settlements, and their movements were neat, making it impossible for Lin Jun to monitor them in depth.

Lin Jun naturally planned to accept this group of werewolves who had growth potential comparable to that of vampires.

But there is no need to rush, the dungeon is under control and they can’t escape.

Lin Jun decided to spend more time observing and understanding their habits, social structure and even weaknesses before deciding which "cordially and friendly" approach to use to communicate with them in depth.

The laying of the tenth-layer fungal mat went smoothly overall, but the ninth layer encountered difficulties.

Those flesh and blood creatures on the ninth floor really eat everything. Spreading the fungal mat over there is just like giving away food. No matter how much you spread over, it will be eaten. They will even climb up the long wall to be eaten!

Lin Jun could only rely on the stairs protected by rules to observe some of the situations on the ninth floor.

If in other levels, the Amethyst Dungeon was the passive party that suffered invasion, then on the ninth floor, these crazy flesh and blood monsters became the active invaders!

Lin Jun saw many flesh and blood monsters drilling into the cracks leading to unknown areas, and some even did not hesitate to have some of their limbs cut off by the twisted force of space at the edge of the unstable cracks, as if there were some delicious food on the other side of the cracks.

And they never come back after they pass.

Not knowing which unlucky people lived opposite, Lin Jun could only silently light a candle for the unknown neighbors.

While Lin Jun was happily playing Rebuilding Home, the demon who had been collecting contribution points for a long time asked Lin Jun for the first time to exchange items other than mushrooms...
