Chapter 112 109. Employees should maintain their own mental health
[Splitting Wind Claw LV4]
The moment Norris passed by the stone-skinned wild boar, his sharp claws plowed several deep grooves on its thick skin covered with black hair, and the dark red muscle fibers turned outward.
It looks miserable, but actually this injury is not fatal to the stone-skinned wild boar at all, it can only make it angry.
The pig's trotter stomped the ground quickly, turned around and rushed towards Norris.
Norris was also aware of this. Relying on the special vision provided by the fungus net, he "saw" the wild boar's movements without turning around.
Ever since he connected to the fungus network that the boss mentioned, he has gained this special vision in the area controlled by the boss.
It can see farther than the eyes, and there is no blind spot in the 360-degree field, but it is not as familiar as what the eyes allow.
When the tusks with the stench of wild boar attacked again, Norris suddenly jumped up on the spot.
The wild boar's charge lost its target but it couldn't stop for a moment, and it directly crashed into the thick tree trunk behind it.
Norris seized the opportunity of this pause and blasted out the mushroom cannon that had already stored up enough energy in his right chest.
After the explosion, the wild boar that had lost its hind legs was still struggling in a pool of blood, but it could no longer pose a threat.
He stepped on the boar and sunk his sharp claws into its head, ending the fight.
Norris panted, lowered his head and stared at the blood dripping from the tip of his claws, his eyes flashing with excitement.
The feeling of being in control of what he once thought was a powerful monster and being at the top of the food chain made him extremely intoxicated.
This is the happiness that Norris, who can only knock stones in the mine day after day, cannot experience!
[Level Up: LV22 → LV23]
The slimes I cleared in the past few days, plus the monsters I hunted alone in the past two days, were all killed by monsters of higher levels.
Another upgrade in a short period of time is expected.
The attribute improvement brought a feeling of increased strength. Norris couldn't help but hug his arms tightly, and didn't even notice the crackling sound of his claws against the scales.
After everything was over, Norris leaned contentedly against the body of the stone-skinned wild boar, not caring about the blood and stench on it at all.
Looking at his torn clothes, Norris simply threw them all aside.
Maybe the boss is right. Things have already become like this. There is no need to be bound by any so-called sense of shame!
I should be freer...
"Norris, hide for a moment, there are adventurers heading your way."
"oh oh!"
Norris picked up the clothes on the ground, put them back on in a few seconds, and found a dense bush to crawl into.
The boss has a strong sense of perception and can always give him an early warning, allowing him to hide.
After all, I am not fit to be seen in public in this state.
Losing his human identity was not painful for Norris. Instead, he felt relieved as he no longer had to worry about paying off his debts.
The only thing that was a bit uncomfortable was the food. The only seasoning the boss had was salt...
There were footsteps, and Norris buried himself completely in the leaves.
A familiar voice came from the front.
"The sixth floor is dark as expected..." Fei Ling complained somewhat annoyed.
It's that girl!
For a moment, Norris wanted to go up and apologize for running away last time.
If possible, I would also like to ask the girl's name.
However, before he stood up, Norris caught a glimpse of a cold light from the corner of his eyes. It was his own claws, claws that could easily tear the wild boar's skin...
Yes, I am no longer a human being.
The debt and the brief encounter with the girl all disappeared along with his human identity.
In the darkness, Norris lowered his body even lower...
Vera, who was beside Feiling, looked up at the glowing dome and said, "Aren't there fluorescent mushrooms? It's not completely dark now."
Behind the two of them, Feiyin was maintaining an orange-yellow lighting spell with her staff.
"The dome is so high, what's the use of those fluorescent tubes? There are at least some mushrooms on the ground on the fifth floor, but it's completely dark on the sixth floor!
It’s hard to find the way in this dark, I hope I can’t find the flower demon last time.”
"Don't worry, I remember the way." Vera said as he shook the map in his hand, which had the marks he had made on it.
"There is a smell of blood!" Feiyin, who had been silent all the time, suddenly reminded.
The three of them immediately became alert.
The light from Feiyin's staff became brighter, even shining on the bushes where Norris was hiding, but Norris hid very well, and not a single scale was exposed.
Soon Vera and his two companions found the dead stone-skinned boar.
"Just died." Fei Ling determined after taking a glance.
Vera squatted down and checked the wild boar. She was surprised and said, "It has both claw wounds and explosion damage. It must be an adventurer. However, claw weapons are rare. I don't remember anyone in the town using such weapons. Also, since you killed it, why didn't you take away its fangs?"
After two seconds of silence, Vera suddenly whispered, "Let's go!"
When the twins saw Vera's performance, they immediately reacted and quickly caught up with Vera.
Fei Ling even took the special arrow in his hand, ready to draw the bow at any time.
Ever since they were attacked by the marauders, the three of them had come up with a plan for the next time they encountered one.
Of course, whether it is useful or not depends on actual combat.
The three of them left quickly.
After they disappeared from sight, Norris ran back to the fifth floor as if escaping.
He hid back in his mushroom house.
This was the first time since he woke up that he felt confused about the future and frustrated about the "inhumanity".
Not far away, Xiao Hei, who witnessed him running back to the mushroom house, lowered his head and took a big bite of the motionless Puji in his arms, revealing a happy expression.
Her schedule today is packed!
After getting up, count the twinkles, eat some puff pastry, and then count the twinkles again!
Lin Jun naturally noticed Norris's situation, although he didn't understand why he was so depressed after seeing those three people.
But it’s nothing more than some small emotions after becoming a non-human. Didn’t Dylan have some of them at the beginning?
Frankly speaking, Lin Jun couldn't relate to the situation at all. At least the creature had hands, feet, and a mouth, and could taste delicious food.
Look at yourself again, a mushroom!
How could Lin Jun empathize with him?
Lin Jun didn't know how to comfort him, nor did she want to waste her time trying to comfort him. How about giving him some special nutrition?
After all, all he asked of Norris was to experiment with adding skills, nothing more.
As for participating in missions to destroy slimes, going to the sixth floor to fight monsters and level up, those were all Norris's own ideas, and Lin Jun didn't object.
Even if Norris suddenly became depressed and stayed in the mushroom house all day, it would not affect Lin Jun's experiment.
If someone really couldn't bear the consequences and committed suicide, it would be a bit of a pity.
After all, they are "non-humans", which is an unchangeable fact. Lin Jun can't adjust his mentality and accept it, so there is nothing he can do.
Everything depends on what Norris thinks in the end.
…
The location of the big flower demon was discovered on the sixth floor.
Vera and the other two looked at the only huge flower bud left in the small basin...
Where is the flower demon?
Where did such a big flower demon go?
