Chapter 148 145. Caveman
Familiar large cave environment.
When Lin Jun's fungus net was finally laid down, various chewing and wriggling sounds intertwined in the darkness, and a feast was taking place below.
The giant spider used its sharp claws to tear the mayfly corpse into pieces, the slime squirmed to dissolve the insect shell, the beetle swarm made a tiny gnawing sound, the cave dweller secretly cut off the insect legs with residual meat, the lizard monster rolled up the food with its long tongue...all kinds of monsters were crowded together.
Lin Jun even saw a giant turtle as tall as a man slowly gnawing at the remains.
When did turtles appear in the deep zone?
These monsters were unusually peaceful with each other, and were only busy devouring the mountains of mayfly corpses, with no intention of hunting each other.
But this scene was not so wonderful for Lin Jun.
These guys are eating the prey they hunted shamelessly!
Even the big insects were no exception. They could not open the thick shells on their bodies, but the same could not be said for the insect brains that had been blown to pieces by Lin Jun.
Now only a small half of the tiger's head is left.
More than thirty puffs landed on the insect's back. A large spider that was nearby discovered these little guys in front of it and tentatively stretched out a spider leg. It was responded with a blade whip.
These thirty-odd ones are all elite Puji.
Just like special forces are not suitable for filling the line, Lin Jun did not take out these elite Puji when fighting the big bug. When the big bug crashed into them, no matter they were elites or cannon fodder, they would be killed instantly.
The insect's legs flew up and a painful scream came from its venomous mouth.
However, within half a second, its head was blown off by several more powerful mushroom cannons.
The headless body shook twice and then fell heavily.
The moment the spider fell, the Pujis launched indiscriminate attacks on the monsters around them that were stealing their prey, immediately making the situation chaotic.
The lizard monster was attacked and wanted to fight back, but stepped into the slime.
The beetle sensed the chaos and crawled around hiding itself.
Before the two cavemen left, they wanted to take away a piece of fat meat in the chaos. The one who fell behind had his leg blown off by a mushroom cannon on the spot, and his companion saw this and abandoned the fat meat and him.
The cleaning work did not last too long. Although there were a lot of monsters, they all had their own habits and would not really work together to attack Puji.
In addition, this team of elite Puji was quite powerful in itself, and after being attacked by the lizard monster's long tongue and suffering two accidental casualties, they were almost cleared of the field.
The melee fighter Puji, wearing armor-plated scales, wandered among the wreckage, finishing off the crippled monsters that were unable to escape, leaving only the disabled caveman and turtle behind.
The turtle was simply unable to be hit. Once attacked, it immediately retracted into its shell, and all six openings were sealed up, leaving no gaps at all.
The effect of attacking the shell is quite poor, and its defense seems to be no weaker than that of a big insect's shell. Lin Jun can only put it aside for now.
As for the cavemen, Lin Jun was a little curious about these eyeless humanoid creatures. He had never seen such cavemen near the mushroom garden before.
The levels of these two cavemen are quite low, only in their twenties, and their skills are also very weak. Although they have weapons in their hands, it is hard to say whether those primitive short spears have any combat effectiveness.
No wonder they only break off the insect legs and eat them at the edge, and dare not come to the middle area to find the fatter insect meat.
Judging from the attributes and skills alone, a caveman would probably find it difficult to win in a one-on-one fight even against the original Fire Mosquito.
Fire mosquitoes travel in swarms, and it is unknown whether these cave dwellers can afford such numbers. It is highly likely that humanoid creatures cannot reproduce without fire mosquitoes.
He dragged the caveman into a dead end, pushed the turtle over, and ignored it.
The Pujis began to spray spores everywhere in the cave.
There are no native monsters in this cave, only some ferns commonly seen in deep areas.
It's normal to think about it. The place above is where the Thousand-Spirit Mayflies gather. They come down from time to time to look for food. Even if there were monsters there originally, they would have probably been eaten up.
Unlike the mushroom garden where he had lived in seclusion, this cave was connected to more than ten passages, which was an average number among the caves in the deep area.
I don’t know where my original mushroom garden was. My strength was limited at the time, and the area I explored was too small.
After half a day, the fungal mat spreading from above finally connected with the new fungal mat grown by the Pujis spreading spores.
There was no telling when a big monster would appear in the deep area. To avoid any more trouble, Lin Jun spent more magic power to speed up the decomposition of the corpses. The decomposition work that would have taken several days was completed within two hours.

…
After finishing the disassembly work, the Pujis carried out the caveman with a broken leg.
[Fusion Parasite] has been used, but its legs were completely blown apart and it is impossible to reconnect them.
Lin Jun tied an insect shell to its broken leg so that it could move on its own.
He was released immediately.
If the cave dwellers live nearby, Lin Jun can determine their location by sensing them.
If he was far away, given the state of his broken leg, he would most likely become some monster's dinner.
In the fungus network, Lin Jun has already tested the intelligence of the cavemen - primitive but not stupid.
Lin Jun is still somewhat interested in them.
The number of Puji that Lin Jun can directly control now is about 3,000.
If it is only used to control the seven layers that we have now, it is more than enough, but it is obviously a bit insufficient when facing the deep areas that are unknown in size.
Before coming down, Lin Jun planned to control some humanoid creatures, just like he gave the sixth-level Puji to the tree demon, to save his own operating capacity.
The original target was the Minotaur, or minotaur. After all, this kind of humanoid creature had only been seen in the deep area before.
But when it comes to how confident he is, Lin Jun is really unsure.
The Minotaur gave Lin Jun the impression of being irritable, quick-tempered and powerful.
[Fusion Parasitism] is not mind manipulation. If the other party really refuses to obey, Lin Jun will have no choice but to make them into puppets.
Moreover, the number of minotaurs seemed to be insufficient. The few times Lin Jun encountered a minotaur, it was always alone.
Encountering cavemen now is undoubtedly another option. At least these cavemen act in pairs.
After releasing the caveman, Lin Jun controlled a Puji to follow it from a distance.
However, unexpectedly, after just over ten minutes, the caveman disappeared in the passage.
When Puji arrived at the place where he disappeared, he saw the broken spear dropped by the caveman and a crack the size of a manhole cover on the ground of the passage.
On the other side of the rift, there was no curse, no sound, just pitch black...
