Chapter 32 32. Under the Cave

If you're not my friend, how did you do it?

How come you have the LV10 that I've never seen before in all my time, and it looks like it's bought wholesale?

The crystal symbiosis on ordinary bats only increases the power by about 20-30%. Can this be increased to 500%?

Are there S-level magic crystals on your body?

If Lin Jun still had eyes, he would definitely rub them well.

Otherwise, how could we see such an outrageous panel?

The most outrageous thing is the title beyond death.

The so-called title can only be obtained after meeting the corresponding conditions.

Such a cool title is actually seen on an ordinary crystallized bat...

Lin Jun called a few more Puji over.

This time, they deliberately came out from two different passages one after another, with the second group coming out after the first group died.

Taking advantage of the time between the opponent's attacks, Lin Jun finally saw its true appearance.

A huge trunk over three meters long hung upside down in the center of the cave, dark red blood vessels were visible between the wrinkled wing membranes, and pure dark purple magic crystals were embedded at the end of each wing bone.

They are all S-level magic crystals!

It’s so big!

Compared with these pieces, the S-level magic crystal in Lin Jun's hand should be called fragments.

Looking at the shape of this crystallized bat, if it weren’t for the faceplate, Lin Jun would believe it was a dragon.

However, when Lin Jun saw it for the first time, a question came to his mind: Can it dig a hole with this size?

The cave passages here are different from those in the deeper areas, with diameters of dozens of meters at times.

Many of the small passages here were chewed out by rock lizards. Not only are they bumpy, but their diameters are generally no more than two meters.

This old bat is so big, it shouldn’t be able to get through the hole, right?

Doesn't this mean that it is trapped in this cave and can't go anywhere?

That’s good, at least now I don’t have to worry about it running away.

There were more than a hundred hallucinogenic puffies scattered in the cave, and Lin Jun asked them all to gather here.

They were scattered in different passages, but they did not go in. Instead, they started spraying hallucinogenic spores on the spot.

The old bat was the first to notice the poisonous fog spreading from the small holes. With a high IQ, it obviously didn't intend to sit there and wait for death.

The old bat flew to the entrance of a cave and flapped its wings vigorously.

Even without using any skills, the wind still blew away the few spores.

The old bat then moved its mouth to the edge of the cave entrance and used [Infrasonic Attack LV10] directly inside.

There was no suspense about the 9 Pujis in this passage, they were killed instantly.

Then it did the same thing again, attacking all the remaining passages emitting poisonous fog.

When Lin Jun saw that the situation was not good and wanted to retreat, it was too late. In the end, not even a hallucinogenic puff was left.

They were completely wiped out...

My Puji is really afraid of this kind of area attack that cannot be avoided.

Moreover, the environment of the cave passage greatly extended the range of the sonic attack. Even though Lin Jun's last batch of Puji ran a long way, they were still killed by the roar.

Tsk.

Cannons can’t be used, poison doesn’t work either, how can we fight?

More than a hundred Pujis didn't even get their blood skin removed.

Even though my family business is big now, I can't afford such consumption.

After thinking about it, the only way to solve it in the short term is to attract high-level adventurers.

But when the adventurers come, what does the spoils have to do with me?

I'll die and leave a body for Lin Jun.

But the most valuable things on the old bat are the three S-level magic crystals.

Not to mention what secrets he might have.

Of course, Lin Jun can also choose to kill and rob the adventurers after they come out.

But putting aside the question of whether it can be done or not, even if it is foolproof, it would violate Lin Jun's principles.

So instead of calling humans, it’s better to put it aside for now.

Anyway, the old bat can’t escape from this cave with its size.

Things weren't going well in the cave, but setting rules for the adventurers was going well.

After that group of young men left, several more groups of adventurers came to buy the information.

Most of them completed the transaction well, except for one team that was dishonest.

After blowing a thief to death and dragging away a nanny, the remaining two ran away.

It's okay to run away. Once the news gets out, no one will come to cause trouble again.

It's just that the cave has expanded a little bit again. Lin Jun is a little afraid that if it happens a few more times, the rock wall will collapse...

"Boss, I'm back!"

As soon as Dylan visited the website, he greeted Lin Jun. The middle-aged veteran always has a good sense of details.

After Dylan went down to the fifth floor, he was like home. He didn't even put his hands on his weapon and walked towards the forest camp in a swagger.

When he saw Puji on the road, he would wave to him, not caring whether Puji would respond or not, and looked like he was in a very good mood.

As they walked, he talked to Lin Jun about the mission:

"Boss, I sold 9 copies of the guide. Has any adventurer come here?"

"Yes, the plan... is going well."

"That's good. By the way, Boss, this is the money from the sale. I only used a small portion for accommodation..."

As he spoke, Dylan took out a bag of coins from his clothes and wanted to continue reporting his expenses, but Lin Jun directly rejected him:

"You can keep the money. You did a good job this time. I have prepared some equipment and bonus for you and put them in the tent."

Although the wages have been paid in advance, Lin Jun will naturally give extra rewards if his subordinates do a good job, so as to ensure their enthusiasm for work.

"Hey, thanks, boss!"

Dylan suddenly felt that having a monster boss who didn't care about money seemed to be more satisfying than he had imagined.

Here, food and accommodation are provided, and there is also a salary. It is much faster to make money than being an adventurer, and it is also safer.

Although I don’t spend much money in the dungeon, I can save it and send it to my daughter!

Dylan happily took back the purse, and then he remembered something:

"By the way, Boss, I want to go replenish my nutrition first."

"You know where the coffin lid is. It's available 24/7. Just go there yourself. You don't need to ask me for permission."

The corner of Dylan's eye twitched. It turned out that the boss also thought it was a coffin lid...

However, seeing that Lin Jun did not understand what he meant, Dylan could only continue:

"Boss, what I mean is... I want the same nutrition as last time..."

ah?

Nutrition is nutrition, what about last time...

Ah this...

Lin Jun specifically opened the skill panel to take a look, and it didn't seem addictive...

No, little brother, what's wrong with you?

…

Lin Jun finally prepared special nutrition for Dylan.

Can you refuse such a request from someone who just came back from a business trip?

However, looking at Dylan lying there with a look of enjoyment on his face, Lin Jun was still quite speechless.

Is this guy going to fall into depravity like this?

He now had the illusion that he was Dongfang Bubai, relying on the Three Corpses Brainworm Pill to control his subordinates...

No, no, we're in a serious mushroom garden, this is just a nightcap.

That's it!

The Adventurer's Guild branch in Mute Wind Town.

A report sent by the Intelligence Analysis Department of the Guild was placed on the desk of Branch President Oberon.

The name of the report is "Five-layer Mutation Analysis and Subsequent Impact Prediction".

Oberon drank fruit wine, read the report from beginning to end, and then called the director of the task management department.

“Please take a look at this report.

After reading it, I issued a task in the name of the guild to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the fifth floor of Puji, especially the interior of the swamp.

The mission level...let's set it as A-level."
