Chapter 135 132. Released from prison
The dark corridor is surrounded by "walls" made of mycelium.
Norris carefully climbed up little by little using his hands and feet to avoid slipping back down accidentally.
Today is a special day for Norris.
The yellow book was stuck in his pants. Although the yellow book emphasized several times that it was a noble holy book and could not be treated so casually, Norris really had no extra hands to take care of it.
Finally, light appeared above and he was about to climb to the exit.
When Norris crawled half of his body out of the passage, what he saw was a mushroom forest!
The tender branches planted by the tree demons have not even grown into demon trees yet, but the mycelium planted at the same time has now grown into huge mushroom trees.
Norris couldn't tell for a moment whether this was the fifth or sixth floor.
After Norris came out, a group of Puji surrounded him, including a big black mushroom.
At the same time, the boss of the fungus network shouted: "Congratulations on your release from prison!"
The Pujis immediately threw a large number of petals into the air. If you look closely, you can recognize that they are petals from the flower demon.
Ding ding ding——
There seemed to be some glass shards mixed in the petals, hitting Norris's scales...
The Pujis stretched out their mycelial tentacles and lifted Norris out completely.
The Pujis slapped him with their tentacles, knocking off the dust and sticky mycelium.
Facing the Pujis who cared about him, although he knew that they were all controlled by the boss, Norris still felt a feeling he had never had before - that was the feeling of being cared for.
If only the blows from the big black mushroom hadn't been so heavy, almost knocking him to the ground...
Facing this newcomer, Lin Jun also said earnestly:
"Norris, you must turn over a new leaf this time and start a new life.
Next time you want to kill someone, remember to apply in advance and take action after approval.
We can no longer act on our own without organization or discipline.
You have to believe that the Mushroom Garden will always be on your side and is your home!"
Hearing the word "home", Norris could no longer control his tears, crying and excitedly said: "Yes! Boss!"
A Puji suddenly brought out a bowl of soup.
"You've been suffering down there, eating only mushrooms every day. Come and have some broth!"
Norris wiped away a tear, without being hypocritical.
He picked up the bowl of soup with a piece of meat on the surface, first smelled the long-lost meat flavor, and then drank it in one gulp.
After drinking it, Norris smacked his lips. It turned out to be mushroom broth. He thought it was pure broth, but it was not bad.
The meat and soup in the bowl were gone, and there were two cloves of mushroom left. Not wanting to waste the boss' kindness, Norris decided to eat it all.
Um?
I picked up a piece of mushroom... Why is it green...
Norris rolled his eyes and collapsed to the ground.
A few puffs rolled up the unconscious Norris - it was time for him to receive the second round of reinforcement.
The yellow book on Norris' waist was also pulled out. During the days when Norris was lying down, it had to go back to the Happy Cottage.
In addition to the conventional force enhancement in the second round, Lin Jun also plans to add some other functions to Norris.
The current list is: [Rolling Charge LV7], [Sonic Detection LV6], [Dodge LV7], [Acceleration LV6], [Saliva Arrow LV5].
[Saliva Arrow] was designed to work in conjunction with the neurotoxin that Norris already had.
As for [Rolling Charge]... Lin Jun really wants to know what it would be like when humans use it!
The Pujis carried Norris away, and Xiao Hei also went to help enthusiastically.
While helping, he accidentally knocked off two silver scales. Seeing that Norris didn't react, he accidentally knocked off two more...
When Norris returned to the mushroom house, there was a small bald spot on his back.
…
After dealing with Norris, Lin Jun turned his attention back to the seventh floor.
During this period, through hard work in "fishing", Lin Jun has acquired the minimum skills required for underwater exploration.
The first batch of diving Pooji has been produced.
[Underwater Adaptation LV6] + [Wake Jet LV3] + [Water Flow Perception LV4] + [Sound Wave Detection LV6] + [Swimming LV4] + [Scale Armor LV6] + [Infrasonic Attack LV6]
With seven skills and even agility up to 10 points, he is definitely an expensive species among cannon fodder.
Among them, [scale armor] is a must. Without scales, any small fish in the water will want to come over and take a bite. The main function of scales is to protect against small fish.
You can't just swim around and kill people with sonic waves all the way.
Through [Water Flow Sensing], not only can danger be discovered, but any cracks that may be leaking nearby can also be sensed.
Then, thanks to the [Swimming] skill, without Lin Jun's interference, the lower bodies of the Pujis all turned into fish tail shapes, although they were still made up of mycelium.
According to the naming method of this world, it seems okay to call them Puji fish now.
These diving puffins can only paddle on the shore now, and need help from other puffins to be pushed into the water.
The first batch of diving Puji consisted of 60 individuals, divided into groups of five, and they entered the water to explore at different locations.
Under Lin Jun's unified command, now we are officially launched!
The tentacles pushed the diving puffins down.
At one of the diving points, a huge catfish that had been waiting for who knows how long surfaced and opened its big mouth to catch all five diving fishes.
!!!
You don't give me face, do you?
Lin Jun was so angry... that he changed his perspective.
55 diving Poojis successfully entered the water and began exploring!
The seventh floor is different from the other levels. Take the fifth and sixth floors, which have the largest area, for example. Since there is no stratification, although the space is relatively large, the actual explorable area is not too outrageous.
On the seventh floor, more than 80% of the space is underwater, and the aquatic ecosystem is distributed in three dimensions.
Therefore, even though the overall size is slightly smaller than the sixth floor, the effort required for a complete exploration is several times more than that of the sixth floor.
The seven-story underwater space is roughly divided into three levels.
The topmost area is a sewer-like area, with criss-crossing waterways and mountains on both sides plunging into the water from the ceiling.
The middle layer is a pure water area with nothing in it.
On the lowest level, that is, the bottom of the seventh floor, there are some ancient buildings covered with aquatic plants.
These buildings were obviously not in the water originally, and I don't know why they became like this.
Could it be that there was actually no water before the seventh floor?
The first area to be explored is the upper waterway area, which is the smallest and easiest to explore.
But even in the simple difficulty area, it still took the loss of nearly 20 divers to complete the investigation - and no rifts were found.
But when the Pujis reach the middle level, survival becomes more difficult.
Due to terrain restrictions in the upper area, the size of fish is limited, but there are no restrictions in the middle area, and Puji and his friends soon encountered larger and more dangerous monsters.
They either rely on their large size and speed to catch up with Puji and eat it in one bite.
Or they have special skills.
For example, it can suck Puji over from more than 20 meters away, or its mouthparts can extend to 30 meters to accurately hunt.
Lin Jun almost developed thalassophobia after watching so many of them.
Just two hours after entering the middle area, Lin Jun was left with only the last three diving Pujis.
And Lin Jun also entered the strongest manual operation mode!
Two minutes later, the first batch of diving Puji were all wiped out...
