Chapter 117 114. Yellow Book's New Bedroom
Although skills are everywhere, they are still full of mystery in Lin Jun's view.
For example, this [Nightmare Incarnation].
When the half-vampire used it, it was clearly a transformation skill, but after it was used on Puji, it became a fixed form.
However, the half-vampire obviously used his own blood ability when transforming. Lin Jun could only guess that Puji lacked blood power, so this skill only retained part of its effectiveness?
We have encountered skills that have mutated due to differences in their own characteristics before. The most typical one is [Assimilation and Absorption], which changes from absorbing flesh and blood to absorbing mycelium.
This should be considered some kind of adaptation.
Then, Lin Jun did some more experiments on flying.
Two identical Pujis with bat wings stood together.
Although there seems to be no difference in appearance, when you open the panel you will find that one of them has the skill [Nightmare Incarnation LV1], while the other is a blank Puji.
Lin Jun spent half a day creating the whiteboard Puji by comparing it to the bat Puji.
I don't have any other intentions, I just want to see if I can fly without relying on any skills.
Lin Jun first controlled the Puji with skills to fly a circle, and then based on this feeling, he controlled the blank Puji.
After several failed attempts, I finally made it fly!
But it was obviously much more difficult, and each time I flapped my wings, it took more effort, as if some kind of assistance was missing.
In addition, if Lin Jun did not control it, this blank Puji would not be able to fly no matter what.
Puji is not very intelligent and acts mostly on instinct. The fact that he cannot fly means that he does not have the instinct to fly.
It seems that the skill can give Puji this flying instinct, which is like it is easier to hit after having the [Precision] skill.
In this case, you can probably do some fancy tricks that don't rely on skills, but if you want to implement them on Puji on a large scale, you still need the support of skills.
Of course, these so-called theories are only limited to these relatively simple fields. If you don’t rely on skills to tinker with a mushroom cannon, it would be pure nonsense.
After finishing these quizzes, Lin Jun looked at the construction progress of the trap house again - it was almost completed.
The so-called trap room is the new love house that Lin Jun built for Huangbishu.
Lin Jun’s previous plan to dig out the underground city failed because he encountered a transparent wall. This time, Lin Jun simply made use of the transparent wall.
Anyway, the transparent wall is not afraid of collapse and cannot be blown up no matter how hard it is blown up, so just use it as a trap room.
Now a small team of construction workers are doing the final touches on this area of the transparent wall.
The originally cramped space was expanded into a complete basement structure. The arched walls, where mycelium and rock were perfectly integrated, were inlaid with luminous spores, shrouding the entire space in a pale blue halo.
There are eight pillars throughout the basement.
The transparent wall used as the ceiling actually does not need pillars to support it. These pillars are naturally camouflaged. They are actually made up of a layer of stone shell made of self-destructive Puji. There are four self-destructive Puji in each pillar to ensure sufficient power.
On an altar-like stone base at the innermost part, the yellow book was placed peacefully on it, looking like a reward item after defeating the BOSS.
The stone base will also explode naturally. Anyway, it is cheap and easy to use...
I guess the yellow book has no objection to its new home.
Of course, there can’t be only self-destructive Pujis. Lin Jun also arranged several newly developed elite Pujis as guards here.
Compared with ordinary Puji, the elite Puji has more skills, but the main difference is in attributes.
For example, for the melee elite Puji, Lin Jun raised the three attributes of strength, agility, and constitution to 40.
For ranged types, it is enough to raise the intelligence and agility to 40 and the physique to 30.
It is enough to put three or four elite Puji in the trap room.
At that time, the outside entrance will be sealed with a layer of stone, and the entire trap room will become a hidden space.
The adventurers who hang around in the cave are not of very high level. Even if they accidentally enter a trap room, they will be forced back by the guards.
If the demons coming here come looking for you and the Elite Puji can't defeat them, then let the Self-Destructive Puji blow them up completely.
Even if he didn't die, the time he took to retreat was enough for Lin Jun to mobilize the Pujis to block the door outside the cave.
The reason why we took the trouble to move the yellow book over there is that if it is placed in the mushroom forest, a few demons will come to cause trouble every now and then, and it would be bad if the mushroom forest, which serves as the employee rest area, is finally destroyed.
Lin Jun's trap hut plan and elite Puji plan were both progressing smoothly, but the plan to lay fungal carpet from the sixth-level rift directly to the deep area was not so smooth.
The rock walls of the rift are very hard, and the mycelium cannot collect nutrients other than magic from the rock walls. It can only rely on the nutrients transmitted by the connected fungal carpet to extend downwards.
This problem is not unique to the rift rock wall. In fact, even on the fifth or sixth layer of rock wall, the fungal blanket cannot absorb basic nutrients.
It’s just that they are not far from the ground and the dome, so transporting nutrients there is not a big problem.
But here in the rift, the length of the rock wall is a bit too long.
The distance over which nutrients can be transferred using fungal mats is also limited.
There is no other way. Without the conditions, Lin Jun can only create them himself.
First, some hollow tubes made of mycelium are pinched out, and the soil is poured through the tubes, spreading them on relatively flat areas on the rock wall to form supply points one after another.
Relying on the nutrients in the soil, the mycelium can be extended further and spread to the next platform using tubes. In this way, it extends one node at a time and is spread downwards smoothly.
For this purpose, a group of Pujis who dig and carry soil, and three tree men who are responsible for clearing the way and assisting are stationed on the sixth level of the rift.
During the extension of the fungal blanket, Lin Jun also discovered a problem.
This rift doesn't seem to be connected to the 70th, 80th, 90th and 10th floors?
At least Lin Jun’s fungal blanket did not find any entrance to other levels.
Could it be that the other classes just happen to be separated by stone walls?
This problem can only be studied again after we go back and occupy the seventh floor.
The spread of the fungal creep stopped after finally entering the deep zone.
It’s not that Lin Jun didn’t want to continue, but he met a familiar figure again.
[Race: Thousand-axle Mayfly]
[Level: 22]
[Race: Thousand-axle Mayfly]
[Level: 31]
…
An area crisscrossed by countless thick white lines, where a large number of Qianshu mayflies live.
Unlike the level 62 monster encountered when Puji fell down, the highest level seen here is only around level 40, but there are quite a lot of them.
And they have a strong sense of territory.
When the hyphae extend down and approach their thick threads, they will come over and scrape off the hyphae, or simply spray acid to corrode a large piece.
Simply put, it seems that there is no way to get down unless you kill them?
