Chapter 35: Level 50, New Skills

The magic shells exploded in the swamp, sending up black mud and half-rotten bark fragments all over the sky.

After several months, heavy artillery fire once again descended on the swamp area.

But this time the enemies are only two orcs.

When they realized they were surrounded, Inigo and Milo's animal eyes simultaneously locked onto the direction of the forest.

If we can get out of the swamp area, even if there are enemies further out, we can escape by relying on the complex terrain of the forest.

Of course, the prerequisite is to be able to get out of the swamp area.

Neither of them had any intention of fighting, there were just too many Pujis.

There were so many that even if they just stood there and let them chop them, they would be exhausted to death.

The only way to survive is to break out before the encirclement closes.

As they ran, several mushroom cannons broke through the air and fell towards the two of them.

[Acceleration Level 6]

【Flash Discount LV7】

Both of them used their respective skills to dodge the attack, but this was just a prelude.

The nearly saturated fire coverage made the entire swamp boil. The two men tried their best to jump and move in the mud, but they could only try their best to avoid being directly hit.

As for the aftermath of the explosion, we can only withstand it.

Inigo felt that he was thick-skinned and tough, so he charged even faster and more violently.

As they were approaching the edge of the encirclement, they saw dozens of Puji standing in scattered positions in front of them.

Inigo raised his sword high, charged forward and dodged behind a Puji, while the upper body of the Puji flew into the air.

With his nimble movements and the orcs' excellent combat instincts, Inigo was always able to accurately find gaps in the killing array and break through.

Almost at the edge!

Several Pujis rolled into balls and charged towards Inigo at the same time.

This scene almost made the tiger man laugh.

He certainly didn't dare to take that kind of magic cannon head-on, but could a soft thing like Puji really engage him in close combat?

He could cut through the enemy with a sword in an instant...

Amid a series of explosions, the tiger man rushed out with his body burnt to a crisp.

At the last moment, his instinct made him flee, but it was still a little too late.

Inigo's left leg was missing below the knee.

At this time, he fell to the ground and couldn't stand up.

The Pujis aimed their mushroom cannons at him from a distance.

"The fifth floor... ahem... this is going to make me laugh to death. I might as well be hanging in the fog."

At the last moment, he looked in the direction of Milo.

I saw the figure that was blown into the air.

The throwing posture was so funny that Inigo couldn't help laughing out loud.

"puff!"

Bang--

————

After finally getting rid of the two adventurers who came to cause trouble for him, Lin Jun was about to count the losses.

Suddenly, a piece of information that he had been thinking about for a long time appeared in his mind.

[Level increase LV49 → LV50]

[New optional racial skills+]

finally!

Finally reached 50!

Upgrading is so difficult, considering he was already level 48 when he first reached the fifth floor.

First, he ate almost all the monsters on the fifth level, and then spent several months collecting from the mycelium that spread throughout the entire level.

Finally, the finishing touch was completed here!

I was so moved that I almost cried.

According to Lin Jun's experience, the skills given every 10 levels are in line with one's own race.

Things like the Mushroom Cannon are obviously tailor-made for the mushroom race, and are more useful than most skills picked up randomly.

Hurry up and see what skills you can choose.

[Optional skills:

Long-distance transmission (greatly increases the distance spores can fly, allowing them to spread over long distances)

Mycelium reorganization (regardless of whether the individual is dead or alive, the mycelium can be automatically repaired as a unit)

Delicious (unparalleled taste)】

…

Is this delicious?

Aspire to become the most delicious ingredient in another world?

Speaking of which, the option of juicy has also appeared before.

So do mushrooms really have an upgrade path to becoming super food ingredients?

Don't be too outrageous.

Excluding the deliciousness, the first remote transmission didn’t mean much to Lin Jun.

If the mycelium is not connected into one piece, Lin Jun's will cannot be transmitted and cannot be managed.

Just like the mushroom garden in the deep area, he could no longer sense it after he walked away.

It seems that there is no choice.

[Skills acquired: Mycelium Reorganization LV1]

Soon, a test piece of Puji was ripened in the swamp area.

A small knife was wrapped by the tentacles and stabbed into Puji's body.

With only 10 HP left, Puji died on the spot.

After waiting for a long time, Puji seemed to have no reaction.

However, Lin Jun, who had been watching, could see clearly that the skill was indeed effective.

The intact mycelium around the wound is slowly gathering magic power, splitting into new mycelium to replace the severed parts.

It's just that the process is very slow.

It took Puji a long time to stand up again.

[HP: 1/10]

The wound has not yet healed completely, but Puji has already regained his mobility.

Lin Jun cut it with his knife again, this time directly cutting Puji in half.

Then,

Poof, it really popped...

After trying several times again, Lin Jun finally figured it out.

The integrity of the Puji needs to be above 80% to be repairable, and the greater the damage, the slower the repair.

There is no way to recover from being cut in half, smashed, burned, or frozen to death.

At the same time, in order to generate new mycelium to fill the wound, the magic power of the surrounding environment needs to be consumed.

If Puji has a skill like [Magic Storage], the repair speed can be greatly increased.

All in all, it was not as useful as Lin Jun thought. He thought it could be like slime, even if only a small lump was left, it could grow back by replenishing some magic power.

It could also be because it’s only LV1.

But even if it's only LV1, it seems to have some use.

————

On the bottom floor of the cave area, in the old bat cave.

A hallucinogenic Pooji swaggered out of the passage.

Just like before, he was killed instantly by the infrasound as soon as his head showed.

Puji, with several tiny wounds inside, fell down on the spot and lay among the corrupted predecessors around him.

After the old bat was dealt with, he lost interest.

Each of these mushrooms is poisonous and cannot be eaten. They keep coming and it just feels annoyed.

But it doesn't know that the mycelium in the body of this Puji is slowly repairing itself.

After a long time, Puji jumped up again.

The old bat, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, woke up instantly when he heard the noise and killed Puji who had just run a few steps.

This time the old bat looked at Puji twice more, but he still couldn't figure out what was going on.

When Puji stood up again, the old bat finally found his place.

He crushed Puji with one claw.

It won't regenerate this time, but the violent destruction directly causes the hallucinogenic spores on Puji's body to explode.

The old bat was so close that it flapped its wings wildly as it retreated, but still managed to inhale some spores.

Fortunately, it wasn't too serious. The old bat just felt a little uncomfortable and returned to normal after hanging upside down and resting for a while.

There was just a bad premonition lingering in its heart.

Of course it should feel bad.

As for Lin Jun, since it has been confirmed to be useful, 100 new Puji specially made for old bats have entered the production sequence.

Once this army lands, the three S-level magic crystals will be Lin Jun's!
