Chapter 514, Section 513: The Secret of Dungeon Number Thirteen

Teleportation array.

Lin Jun had never really considered setting up a teleportation array on her own territory before.

There are many reasons for this.

The dungeon's convenient spatial rifts, the ability to generate Poogi on the spot, and the fact that its initial territory wasn't very large, etc...

However, looking at it now, it's definitely worth considering setting up a few teleportation arrays, since Lin Jun doesn't lack magic power anyway.

Although the materials are expensive, Lin Jun is now wealthy and can afford them.

Then Lin Jun waved her hand...

"Little Huang, you didn't connect the other end of the teleportation array to some weird place, did you?"

The sudden, ominous question made the pages of the yellow book freeze.

[Boss... I'm counting on you to shape my soul, how could I possibly do anything underhanded!]

"Hahaha, just kidding!" The tentacles patted the cover encouragingly. "You protected Norris this time and provided information on the battle puppets and magic crystal equipment. You deserve a lot of credit, so I naturally trust you."

Lin Jun then notified Aiding through the mushroom network to come over and supervise the entire construction of the teleportation array under the guise of assistance.

Although Aidin could not construct such a complex magic array independently, he was more than capable of checking some key nodes.

Originally, Aidin was still engrossed in using the huge S-grade magic crystal he had obtained last time to create a large illusion device.

He was fascinated by the experience of being able to put his life's knowledge to good use. Just when the prototype of the instrument was almost finished, he encountered a problem in its trial use.

We can't just suddenly start it up in Mushroom City, can we?

Not only will it cause chaos, but the key point is that the trump card of a large-scale illusion is most effective when used unexpectedly.

Just then, the boss assigned a new task, so Aiding took the opportunity to ask the boss for a secluded and convenient testing site.

Lin Jun agreed without hesitation, since the northern border was mostly uninhabited areas.

So, under the pretext of searching for Inanna, Aidin brought his prototype instrument with him.

After Aiding came down, Lin Jun filled the passage connecting the deep zone with a large number of mushroom trees. Then, poisonous fog and corrosive aura filled the passage, completely blocking the way down and preventing the searchers from breaking into his home.

...

While her subordinates were busy with their own tasks, Lin Jun didn't slack off either. She began her daily mission—exploring the vast, star-like rune nodes within the dungeon's crystal monument.

Today is a memorable day. After a year, Lin Jun is finally going to explore the almost countless stars in this crystal monument!

This means that he, the dungeon administrator, is about to be promoted from a temporary worker to a permanent employee!

As Lin Jun triggered the last star, a Puji that was providing light for the adventurer party suddenly disappeared.

"Enemy attack?!"

The sudden darkness put the small team on high alert. The adventurers instantly formed a defensive formation back to back, and the mage used a light spell to illuminate their surroundings again. After a long period of vigilance, they realized that the light had inexplicably disappeared...

In the absolute darkness, a ray of light suddenly appeared.

The illuminated Puji, which was executing the preset command to "follow the adventurer," appeared in a completely unfamiliar space.

Losing its goal, it stood still until Lin Jun's will came into play, and then it came back to life.

Lin Jun looked around at everything in front of her with suspicion and uncertainty.

The familiar dark void... the familiar floating cubes...

That solidified abyss space in the Shenmu Underground City?

No, it's not the same place. The giant divine tree that connects heaven and earth is not here.

So... is this abyss domain that comes with Dungeon Number Thirteen?

Does every dungeon have such a territory?

Ignoring the sky full of information blocks for the time being, Lin Jun's attention was drawn to some reflective objects in the distance.

Treasures... mountains of treasures!

Weapons, potions, scrolls, equipment... and a huge amount of gold and silver jewelry!

All of these were placed on a giant magic circle with a diameter of over 100 meters. The magic circle was composed of seven nested geometric patterns, so complex that Lin Jun could not understand it at all.

Just as the light was about to approach, the magic circle suddenly lit up with a faint glow.

With a surge of magical energy, Lin Jun sensed a short sword disappear from the treasure.

With a suspicion in mind, the chef, who was preparing mushroom soup in the hidden room, rummaged through the treasure chest he used to stand on tiptoe and pulled out the short sword!

So, this is the source of dungeon treasure chest spawns?!

Looking at the pile of treasure, Lin Jun roughly estimated based on the refresh rate that it could last for several hundred years!

But since Lin Jun saw it, then...

Lighting rubbed its tentacles and rushed over.

puff--

It slammed into an invisible barrier with a soft thud, flattening the mushroom cap.

[No Entry]

Lin Jun knows the answer to this question.

Not only did Lighting Puji not give up, it also stuck the light sticking to the invisible wall with all its might.

The result did not disappoint Lin Jun.

[Hero, restrictions lifted]

With no obstacles, Lighting plunged headfirst into the treasure, its tentacles and short legs flailing back and forth.

With its short legs, it kicked away a jewel-encrusted crown; its tentacles coiled up a staff shimmering with starlight; and it casually unfurled a fireball scroll, setting off a firework into the sky...

From now on, all these things will belong to the Lin family!

Um?

What's this?

When the tentacles parted the mountain of treasure, they encountered something strange.

A grayish-white human skull rolled out, its empty eye sockets facing the light with a soft thud.

She wasn't scared at all. This is what's left after the fungal carpet decomposes every day. To Lin Jun, it was no different from seeing a chicken bone.

Lin Jun wondered why there were corpses among the treasure pile. Could it be treasure?

After searching a bit more, they quickly found a few more bones.

Placed together, they don't emit any magical fluctuations; they just look like ordinary corpses, not treasures...

Unable to figure it out, Lin Jun could only put it aside, but she didn't just throw it away. What if it was some important item? Anyway, she didn't need that little bit of space to put it.

There are too many items, but scanning them doesn't reveal any panels, so it's safe to say there aren't any special items among them, which is normal.

We'll move these equipment out later and let Aiding and the others appraise them at their leisure.

Lin Jun then turned her attention back to the information blocks behind her.

What could be inside?

Like the Sacred Tree, is it also a record about mist and another continent?

Lighting popped out its tentacles and casually touched an information block.

[Experimental Subject Name: Sunstone]

[Final Experiment Record]

[Following the Blood Calamity, the Living Wood Core, and the Void Realm, the Sunstone project has also failed.]

I still cannot create a new soul.

[Splitting, twisting, and alienating—this is the limit of the Sunstone's power.]

I had to abandon this path and find another way.

Ethereum compression technology is merely a short-sighted solution; the current improvement is just an illusion, and we don't have much time left.

[The group next door chose the opposite approach: first distorting the soul, then causing the body to mutate accordingly, and finally replicating the soul by splitting the body.]

[No good news has come so far, clearly indicating that progress is also slow.]

But I still plan to go and see it, hoping to gain some inspiration from it.

...

[Universe, have mercy on your children! Must everything truly return to nothingness?]

[Ixion]

Puji slowly withdrew its tentacles, feeling as if it had witnessed something extraordinary.

And that final signature looks so familiar... it's...

God of light? !
