Chapter 108 105. Uncover a Surprise
Snap—Snap—
A familiar voice came from behind a bush half a person's height, and Norris turned around to look.
Now he was wearing adventurer's clothes, unlike at the beginning when he was only wearing a pair of shorts.
He had asked the boss for the clothes - although the boss said it was an unnecessary shame...
After recognizing his situation, Norris quickly chose to accept it. Accepting that he had become a "powerful" monster would not be any more difficult than accepting the debt of 40 gold coins.
At least the happiness from replenishing nutrition and the satisfaction from becoming stronger after killing monsters are much better than the days when you open your eyes to debts.
Norris didn't have to wait too long.
Snap——
A red slime as tall as a person jumped out from the bushes.
There was still a small amount of undigested Puji and some weeds in its body.
Norris crossed his claws and pounced on the slime the moment it landed!
[Splitting Wind Claw LV4]
The sharp claws cut through the slime's liquid body. The wind elements wrapped around the claws not only increased the sharpness, but also further expanded the opening on the slime's body when they exploded.
Norris didn't pause. He wanted to give the core to the slime before its body recovered...
Bang--
A mushroom cannon hit the cut slime, and it exploded instantly.
Norris, who was closest to the scene, was covered in red liquid containing neurotoxins. Although he was not afraid of neurotoxins, he still looked miserable.
Turning around, I saw a Puji that was as calm as a mushroom. It fired a shot and then walked away.
"well……"
What can he do? His seniority in the organization is not as high as that Pooji. He can only find another target...
Snap——
Another slime jumped out, but this time it was green.
Norris turned and left. He didn't have [Corrosion Resistance]. Even if he won against this slime with [Digestive Mucus], he would only suffer heavy losses. He just had to leave it to the other Pooji.
Norris was not hunting alone, but was arranged by the boss to clear the slimes nearby to prevent them from interfering with the operations inside.
Not far behind him, on a small hill close to the rock wall, in a cleared space, more than two hundred Pujis were doing a big project!
This open space was not originally open space. There is no such thing as a natural open space on the sixth floor.
But after the Pujis came, this place became an empty space.
It’s not enough to turn it into an empty space, Lin Jun wants to dig up the entire place!
A group of Pujis specially equipped with [Sharp Claws LV7] plowed the ground in circles to loosen the soil with their short legs.
The cows, horses, and pujis sucked the broken soil into their stomachs through their special tube-like mycelium tentacles, and when their stomachs were full, they transported the soil to a distant place and dumped it.
There was also a group of diggers who started digging in the area where the rock layer had been exposed.
The reason why Lin Jun made such a big fuss was mainly because the tree monsters had completed the waterway detection mission. According to the markings on the map, the center of the underground waterway, the source of the slimes, should be in the hill.
After three days of construction.
The greenery in the vacant lot has faded, and all that remains is a huge rock pit, which is still expanding.
The clanging sound of excavation never stopped, and cows and horses were transporting gravel and debris like an assembly line on the cleared road.
Norris stood at the edge of the rock pit, looking at the scene below and felt incredible.
He had been mining for so long that he naturally knew how the adventurers in the mines dug.
The tunnel was dug with potholes and rubble piled on the ground by knocking here and there, and they would not clean it up until it blocked the road.
He used to think that was normal, but after watching the work of the Pujis for the entire three days, he felt that in comparison, what the adventurers did was not even worthy of being called mining, at best it was just smashing stones for fun.
The Pujis have clear division of labor, are well organized and efficient.
Such a big pit, even if the lords came to organize it, it would probably take more than half a month to figure it out, but the Pujis only took three days...
At first, Norris thought that he was a veteran in mining and wanted to go down to help, but he was driven out of the way by the boss.
The reason is: it’s in the way.
It's impossible to say that he didn't feel shocked. After all, this was the only skill he had in all these years...
But after seeing the work of the Pujis, he had to agree with this statement. Maybe he could chisel faster than the Pujis, but he could definitely not achieve such coordinated cooperation as the Pujis.
200 poofs!
In the face of cooperation of this scale, slight differences in individual mining capabilities are not important at all.
The Pujis are much more powerful than anyone thought!
Click——
In the rock pit, there was an ordinary crisp sound, just like the sound when other rocks were smashed before.
But along the gap knocked out in the shell of the Puji, a ball of red stuff suddenly spurted out.
The Puji in front of him was wrapped up before he could react.
It's red slime!
This is not over yet, another green slime spurted out from the crack!
The crack became larger and larger, like a cut made under a full bag, and more and more slimes broke through the rock and poured out like a flood.
In just a dozen seconds, the bottom of the rock pit was filled up, and it was still overflowing!
Most of the puffs in the pit were submerged in the ocean of slime, and Norris at the edge of the pit was frightened and retreated again and again.
If he was digging down there too...
Lin Jun also felt his scalp tingling when he saw this.
What the hell?
Did you poke the slime's nest?
No, it was indeed poking the slime's nest, but what does so much mean?
And it's so fat! So big!
What do these slimes eat to grow?
The slimes that had previously run out along the waterway were only as tall as a person, while the smallest of these in the pit was bigger than any they had encountered before!
wrong!
Lin Jun suddenly figured it out.
This thing is probably too big, so big that even with its liquid body it can't squeeze into the waterway, so it's all piled up in the nest, right?
The ones who can escape are the “smaller” ones! ?
It's gonna be bad!
Lin Jun hurriedly mobilized all the Pujis who were on guard outside, trying to suppress the slimes before they climbed out of the pit.
At the same time, a new batch of Puji began to gather in large numbers on the fifth floor.
If the suppression fails, a fierce battle will follow.
We cannot ignore this group of slime Lin Jun. With their size and number, ordinary plant-type monsters cannot defeat them.
If we let them run wild, the entire sixth-layer ecosystem will suffer. In that case, Lin Jun’s work during this period will have been in vain!
"Go back to the fifth floor first!" Lin Jun directly ordered Norris to retreat.
These slimes can no longer be considered objects for training.
Norris was still hesitating whether to do something, but when he heard the boss's order, he immediately turned around and passed by the Pujis who came over.
Bang--
Bang--
Not only were the Pujis that had arrived attacking, but all the fixed turrets on the rock walls also began firing downwards.
Due to the distance, the mushroom cannon on the rock wall can hit ground targets with impressive accuracy.
But now the entire rock pit is full of slimes, and the target is so large that this problem does not exist. We can just cover it with firepower!
For a moment, slime juice flew all over the pit.
However, when the slimes on the surface died, their remaining juice naturally formed a barrier, which greatly weakened the remaining attacks after passing through the juice.
Moreover, after the slime is injured, it will absorb the juice around it to repair itself. It is becoming increasingly difficult for the mushroom cannon to cause sufficient damage.
And the slimes in the rock pit are still increasing... increasing...
No way!
It’s going to spill out!
