Chapter 118 115. Revenge
In a place where supplies are difficult and there is no place for Puji to stay, fighting a territory war with a group of monsters with an astonishing number and there may be a big boss behind them?
Lin Jun did this only after he had eaten his fill, and decisively chose to change his route.
Now Bat Puji comes in handy!
Bats flapped their wings and flew into different rifts. It would be best if they could find the rift that Inanna went down into. If not, then at least they could explore a way out without any obstacles and reach the bottom smoothly.
However, a strange thing happened. With so many cracks, even if some of them merged after extending downwards, there were still nearly 20 routes left.
But no matter which route you take, when you fly down to a similar depth, you will see the thousands of mayflies living there.
The only difference is that a few places are inhabited by single high-level Thousand-Spirit Mayflies, while most areas are inhabited by groups of low-level Thousand-Spirit Mayflies.
Regardless of whether they were high-level or low-level, when they saw the bat Puji flying down, they all chose to rush up and eat Puji.
The bat couldn't fly over them at all, so it could only explode.
But this is strange. If there are Thousand Mayflies on all routes, how did Inanna get down in the first place?
After she turned into Puji, she was not connected to the fungus network and could not observe the surrounding situation.
But she was floating down so slowly. If she had encountered these Thousand-Spirit Mayflies, she would have been snatched away long ago. How could she have successfully fallen down?
Or did something change there after I left the deep area?
The influence of the demonic tide?
Lin Jun was not sure, but he knew that his direct plan would have to be carefully considered.
He has not yet decided whether or not to fight a battle far away from home, without any geographical advantage.
————
Lin Jun was still making his last struggle, hoping to find a dead corner that Qianshu Feiqiu hadn't occupied to sneak through, and he didn't notice the job that the new employee had given him...
A python entangled Norris and made him unable to move. The snake bit Norris' shoulder and seemed to have injected poison.
However, Norris had [Toxin Resistance] and [Paralysis Resistance] and was not affected.
But even if he wasn't poisoned, his condition was not optimistic.
His left arm was nailed to the tree trunk by the roots of three flower demons, leaving only his right hand free to move.
Norris didn't expect that the python would work together with the flower demon, and accidentally fell into a passive situation of 1 against 2.
He had already begun to regret sharpening his nails. His right hand, which was still movable, was without claws and could not cause any effective damage to the python in front of him.
But if he doesn't fight back, he will be killed.
I wonder if I will be thrown into the swamp if I die?
Shaking his head to clear his mind, Norris grabbed the body of the python in front of him with his only remaining right hand, used all his strength to pry open a wound, and then bit it down!
【Neurotoxin LV4】
He can also be poisonous!
But this poison is no different from saliva when used, and there is no chance to use it in battle. I didn't expect to use it today.
Fortunately, the python did not have the corresponding resistance. Under the effect of the toxin, the snake body that was tightening around Norris relaxed.
Norris freed his hands and pulled out the roots that were nailing his left hand. He didn't even have time to deal with the python under him. He turned around and wanted to hide in the bushes.
The reason why he was in such a hurry was that according to the perception provided by the fungus network, there were three adventurers coming towards him, and he had to hide quickly...
Another root emerged from the ground beneath his feet and pierced Norris's foot.
"This flower demon!"
Norris now hates this flower demon. Injuries and pain don’t matter. Since being transformed, minor injuries have healed quickly, but this kind of timing!
"What is that?"
When the adventurer's voice came, Norris froze in place.
"A lizardman from the demon clan?"
"Kind of, but he has no tail."
"Even in the underground city..."
In just a few words, the adventurers had already judged Norris's camp based on his appearance.
The adventurers seemed a little afraid of the demons, but someone said:
"He looks injured!"
By the time Norris had pulled out the roots from his feet, three adventurers had already surrounded him.
The demons are dangerous, but the reward for killing demon spies is also high. In a situation where both monsters and demons are hurt, everyone would want to try to be the one who benefits.
Norris was still thinking about whether to turn around and run away or try to explain himself, but when he saw a halfling among the adventurers, he stopped retreating.
Norris didn't know the halfling's name, but he remembered the iconic burn mark under his left eyelid.
It was this person who stole his silver coins. After being discovered by him, he and his companions beat him up!
Norris didn't know why he suddenly stopped running.
So what if you know that the other person is someone who has bullied you?
Haven’t I been bullied enough over the years?
Now that I'm still injured, I should turn around and run away and ask the boss for help.
But why did he show his claws and move towards them?
The memory after that was a bit vague. Norris only felt that his breathing was getting more and more rapid, and his body seemed to be controlled by the devil, dancing outside of his consciousness.
When I came to my senses, the first thing I noticed was the strong smell of blood lingering around my nose.
There are his and there are adventurers’.
Beneath him was the mutilated body of the halfling, and the other two adventurers were lying not far away, one with claw wounds all over his body, and the other strangled to death by tree roots.
root?
"Are you okay?"
At the side, a tree demon named Xiaolu, surrounded by Puji, came forward and asked.
Norris knew it because it often went to the sixth floor. It was also one of the boss's men.
It seems that I have been helped by it?
Norris tried hard to recall the details of what had just happened, but he could only remember the feeling of claws tearing flesh.
“Thank…thank you.” Although he couldn’t remember, it didn’t stop Norris from saying thank you.
However, the tree demon just asked again: "Are you okay?"
As if realizing something, Norris lowered his head and looked at his body.
The gash in his abdomen was bleeding. He was kneeling on the ground because his right leg below the knee was missing. There was also a dagger stuck in his heart...
That is to say, how could I possibly defeat three silver-level adventurers...
Xiaolu caught Norris who fell headfirst and quickly contacted Lin Jun on the fungus network.
Lin Jungu was numb.
I wasn't paying attention for a moment, how did I become like this?
Lin Jun couldn't understand why he should have told Norris to hide when he encountered an adventurer.
Even if there was an unexpected situation, Norris should have called me in time!
Why did it happen like this, with both sides suffering losses, and in the end it was Xiaolu who came to report! ?
He instantly took over the Pujis that were originally following Xiaolu.
A few Pujis were in charge of dealing with the adventurers' corpses - they scraped them off and threw them to places with fungal mats.
The remaining Puji rolled up Norris and he fell into the grass with his right leg and walked towards the fifth floor.
"Make way! And tell me what's going on." Lin Jun directly instructed Xiaolu.
Xiaolu took the order and walked in front.
"I don't know the details. I noticed Norris was fighting with someone, so I came over to take a look. When I came, I saw that he was almost killed by adventurers. In a hurry, I killed one of the adventurers."
The tree demon is also connected to the fungus web, so it is normal for it to sense situations farther away.
Lin Jun also had a requirement that tree monsters should not actively attack adventurers, so Xiaolu made a special explanation here.
"Um."
Lin Jun didn't ask any more questions. It was estimated that the matter would only become clear after Norris woke up.
I am now focusing on several things at the same time, and it is impossible for me to have a comprehensive understanding of the situation in the entire dungeon.
It would be nice if there was a replay function for the fungal blanket...
Or it would be nice to upgrade the [Spirit Integration] skill that has not been used for a long time!
I hope that Norris’s matter was not initiated by him.
Norris has told him the rules. Subordinates who don't follow the rules will not be a help but a trouble.
If you think about it carefully, among his four subordinates, it is the tree demon Xiaolu who gives him the least trouble?
