Chapter 125 122. Core
In the cave on the sixth floor of the mountain, the cage was pulled up again, revealing a crack in the space underneath.
The curse of corrosive damage swept across the entire void, and all of Puji's white bodies began to be corroded.
This time, the cage took an unusually long time to be pulled up, so long that the two-colored slime moved impatiently in the cage, making a "beep" sound. The cage was not put back until the blood volume of the Pujis was almost running out.
The yellow book said something like [the cracks will gradually expand]. Lin Jun looked at it for a long time with his mushroom cap wrinkled.
It seems... a little bit bigger?
It was a very, very small change, so small that if the yellow book hadn't mentioned it specifically, Lin Jun wouldn't have noticed it at all.
But it is only at this moment. As the crack continues to expand, it won’t be long before Lin Jun will naturally notice this change.
Is it completely bordering on an unknown dungeon with a curse?
It was a trouble, the unknown was always a trouble, but it wasn't enough to make Lin Jun lose his composure.
Judging from the expansion speed of this rift, even if it is faster, Lin Jun is confident that he can increase the [Corrosion Resistance] before it is big enough, and by then it will just be one more exit on the sixth floor.
While thinking, Lin Jun confirmed with the yellow book: "The crack has indeed changed a little."
[Can you tell me where it is?]
Lin Jun did not hide it: "Sixth floor, what?"
[My Lord, the rift is a sign of the dungeon's collapse]
[If the collapse starts from the sixth floor, then the crack you see is the whole thing]
[But if the collapse started from other layers, then the crack on the sixth layer might just be a small part]
[Have you not found similar findings elsewhere?]
At least not from the first to the fifth floors, Lin Jun thought.
Without answering the yellow book's question, Lin Jun asked directly: "What do you mean by collapse? How to collapse? Why collapse?"
[The cracks became more and more numerous and larger, until the entire dungeon was torn apart. This is called collapse.]
[As for why... it's of course due to the erosion of time, just like a house will become damaged over time. It's normal for the underground city to start to have problems after more than 300 years since its appearance]
More than three hundred years?
This is consistent with the story Dylan told in terms of time: the brave man fought against the devil, opened up a passage connecting to the abyss, and formed a dungeon.
"Do you know the origin of the underground city?"
[My Lord, I don’t know everything.]
Tsk.
If only the yellow book were a person, then the parasitic arrangement would naturally tell whether it was lying or not.
"Let's get back to the issue of the rift. You're not the kind of loser who can only point out the problem but can't come up with a solution, right?"
[Sir, can you please stop locking me up from now on?]
[I also want to work for Mushroom Garden, just like now]
Faced with the question, Huang Bishu did not rush to answer but instead made a request first, which did not surprise Lin Jun.
"If what you say is useful..."
After getting the reply, Huangpishu gave the answer immediately without worrying about Lin Jun's regret.
[Core, the core of the dungeon]
[Sir, please forgive me for being blunt, but you are like an outsider living under someone else's roof. Even if the house is broken, you have no authority to repair it.]
[But as long as you control the core of the dungeon and become the dungeon master, you will naturally find a way to repair it.]
"The core of the dungeon... Where is the core you are talking about?"
[The deepest part of the deep zone, the core is there]
"So your method is to let me fight my way through the dungeon...Okay, last question."
Lin Jun's tone didn't seem to change after hearing this secret. Instead, Norris, who was in charge of translation, was shaking on the spot.
"Holy Scripture, how do you know so much?"
[My Lord, I don’t know. I am just a creature. I know some things naturally. If you really want to know why, you can only ask my mysterious creator.]
"snort……"
[My Lord, you must believe me, I have nothing to hide!]
There was a brief silence. Just when Norris thought Lin Jun was going to tear up the book and interrogate again, Lin Jun suddenly said:
“If Norris agrees, you can let him take you, provided that it is within the fifth or sixth floor.
You are not allowed to charm Norris, and you are not allowed to make him crazy, or I will tear you apart.
When Norris is not with you, just stay in the cave."
[Thank you, sir!]
[wrong]
[Thank you, Boss!]
The yellow book was filled with cheers and praises, but Norris looked confused.
I?
With this evil book?
Look what the boss said: Don't let it charm you or drive you crazy.
No matter how I listen to it, it feels very dangerous to bring him along.
I glanced at the yellow book that was still celebrating freedom. Come to think of it, the boss didn't seem to say that I had to bring it with me...
Norris silently decided in his heart that he would try not to touch the yellow book!
After asking questions for a long time, Xiao Hei, who was waiting nearby, was so bored that he fell asleep leaning against the mushroom tree, with saliva dripping down the scales on his face.
Three Pujis came over, stretched out their mycelium tentacles, lifted Xiao Hei up, and carried him all the way back to her sparkling mushroom house.
A mycelial tentacle swayed back and forth, barely clearing out a space and placing Xiao Hei down.
When the Pujis were about to leave, Xiao Hei suddenly reached out and hugged one of them.
Puji, who was being held, was still following Lin Jun's order to leave. Feeling Puji's struggle in his arms, Xiao Hei, who was in a daze, held her a little tighter.
Snap——
Peace returned to the mushroom house.
…
Lin Jun didn't believe everything in the yellow book.
This guy is half-hiding and half-saying. I don't know if he has some idea. The key is that I don't have any good way to verify it.
How could an underground city fall into disrepair after three hundred years?
A castle built with stones will not collapse in three hundred years.
The credibility is questionable.
But there is some useful information in it.
For example, the dungeon core. The probability that the yellow book made up something out of thin air to deceive him is not high. Once he gets there, he will know whether it is true or not.
Lin Jun himself was not afraid of any traps in the deepest part, because his own Puji would be the first to take the lead. If there was a trap, it would only kill a group of his own Puji, which was completely meaningless.
It has been verified that the cracks will become larger, and as for whether they will become more numerous... Lin Jun will know whether it is true or not as he continues to develop.
In general, the suggestions in the yellow paper do not conflict with Lin Jun’s original plan.
Lin Jun originally wanted to develop further, but now his goal has an additional dungeon core.
As for the Yellow Book, I had kept it secret before. I only knew that it was a holy book and an evil book, but I knew very little about other aspects.
It must have more secrets, but Lin Jun hasn't figured out how to pry them out of its mouth, and simply threatening to tear up the book can't guarantee its authenticity.
Allowing the Yellow Book to follow Norris under his nose is also a kind of observation of it.
As for the danger Norris might encounter... Lin Jun decided to pay more attention to him and keep an eye on him at all times...
