Chapter 168 167. The Location of the Decisive Battle
The old mushroom garden, or now the caveman training base.
Two Pujis followed a caveman closely, while the other cavemen watched the training.
"Yes, that's it, keep it up!" Norris held the yellow book in his hand and directed the fungus net with his mind, "Puji has short legs, take smaller steps so that they can keep up with you."
Of course, many of the key points were quietly reminded to him by the yellow book.
"Now try to have Pooji use the mushroom cannon to attack the target."
The target was a battered block of rock, its surface covered with holes and marks from cannon fire.
The Puji used for training only carries the [Mushroom Cannon LV1], so there is no need to worry about the target being damaged.
The caveman pointed his spear at the target, and the two Puji followed suit and aimed their mushroom cannons at that direction.
In fact, this action is completely unnecessary. To control Puji, a clear thought is enough, but these cavemen are still accustomed to accompanying body movements when giving orders.
Bobo——
Two mushroom cannons shot out from the air, one hit the target at an angle, while the other just brushed past it and flew away.
This is because there is no [Precision], and the purpose of the exercise is to let the caveman control Puji, so it doesn’t really matter whether Puji hits the target or not.
Norris just nodded in satisfaction and was about to say a few words of praise, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the caveman suddenly clench his spear, with the tip of the spear pointing directly at the Puji that had missed the target, as if he was about to stab it!
"Hey! What are you doing? Stop it!" In a hurry, Norris didn't even go through the fungus net, but shouted directly.
The caveman froze all over, and immediately stood still with his hands hanging down as if he was nailed to the spot, waiting obediently for his next order.
Norris rolled his eyes at this arrogant and humble face who only dared to show off to Puji.
Norris also discovered that no matter whether these guys were supervisors before, once they gained control of Puji, they would all develop this bad habit without exception - they liked to show off in front of Puji.
Is it some kind of instinctive habit ingrained in our bones?
How to correct it?
Norris felt very troubled.
When scolded in person, they all obeyed and were extremely obedient.
But when he turned around, he could not see the place, and he would find that one or two of the Pujis that he had entrusted to them would "mysteriously die suddenly" every now and then. This situation really gave him a headache.
As Norris was scolding the cavemen, he picked up one of the Poojis with his paws.
All the cave dwellers involuntarily huddled together, not daring to look at the black figure.
The exiled Xiao Hei was gnawing on Puji while staring blankly at Norris's shining body.
That straight gaze made Norris feel uneasy.
Lin Jun asked her to stay in the old mushroom garden for two days and not run around. She could only eat and sleep, and her life was very boring.
But there is no other way. Lin Jun thinks Xiao Hei is really capable of diving into the crack and worshipping.
After this round of storm is over, it would be better to put Xiao Hei back up there as soon as possible.
In fact, Louisa was also in the old mushroom garden at this time, but she was deliberately avoiding Xiao Hei.
At this moment, she was leaning against the rough outer wall of the snail wood and sleeping soundly.
"So idle~" A confused mumbling slipped out from her lips.
This is not a complaint, but a sigh of happiness from the bottom of my heart.
Lin Jun transferred Puji away, and now she is the only commander left in the expedition team, so it is impossible for her to continue advancing.
There is no threat of death, no fighting, no missions, no hunger, no mushrooms, and no boss's attention...
How long has it been since you enjoyed such leisure?
It would be nice if days like this could last a little longer!
Of course, it is best to continue until the stored blood is eaten up - if you take longer, you will starve.
——
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several more mushroom cannons slammed heavily into the crumbling sacred barrier.
The golden light curtain, which had already been unable to bear the weight, shattered and turned into light fragments all over the sky.
The church warrior who was maintaining the barrier was struck hard. He groaned and staggered back, only to be caught by his quick-eyed and quick-handed companion.
Almost at the same time when the light curtain shattered, another church warrior roared and took a step forward. A brand new sacred barrier opened instantly, barely protecting the team again.
In the array, Ranger Aimee's eyes were as sharp as an eagle. The bowstring vibrated continuously, and three feather arrows tore through the air, accurately shooting through the three Pujis that had just poked their heads out to fire mushroom cannons.
She turned her wrist and instinctively reached for the quiver, but her fingertips suddenly touched the cold bottom of the quiver!
His expression instantly turned extremely ugly—empty? !
Aimee's heart sank.
She took into consideration that she would not need to be distracted by dodging when fighting under the protection of the church warriors, so she brought three times as many arrows as she normally would for a dungeon exploration.
I thought it was foolproof, but now it’s all used up?
Tsk!
After all, the frequency of these puffs is simply too crazy!
Looking at the stairs leading to the fifth floor not far away - what should I do next?
…
Seeing the team finally file into the relatively safe staircase passage, Soralin's frown finally relaxed slightly.
Although there were no more ambushes on the subsequent journey, the endless harassment from the Pujis was like a thorn in the flesh, and everyone was exhausted.
Fortunately, the team did not suffer any new casualties.
Pastor Maine walked over from the other side of the team with heavy steps, his eye sockets sunken and his body filled with exhaustion that almost turned into substance.
This priest, who has been traveling with Solarin's team for many years, is definitely the best in endurance among his peers.
But at this moment, even he looked exhausted.
"Solarin, we must rest." Mayne's voice was hoarse. He turned back to look at the team, "The crossbowmen's quivers are almost empty. Even if the mages and priests save their magic power, it has reached the bottom. We can't hold on any longer."
Solarin naturally knew what Mayne was talking about, and she nodded.
"I am planning to have the team rest here on the stairs. I just need to have people take turns guarding the front and back openings."
After a brief exchange with Fifteen and Aidin, neither of them had any objections. Everyone knew that a fierce battle was likely to await them on the fifth floor.
Before that, conserving energy is the natural choice.
Before taking a break, Solarin activated the [Vision of Truth] and took a look at the fifth floor, but all he could see was chaos - the entire fifth floor was filled with mycelium.
The only thing we can do is to ask the soldiers in charge of defense not to relax and be prepared for possible attacks.
"It's time to rest!" - The news was like a sweet rain. The adventurers' tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and many of them sat down on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the church warriors did not make any noise, their straight backs relaxed a little, and the solemn atmosphere finally eased.
Unfortunately, they wanted to rest, but Lin Jun disagreed.
Nearly a hundred mushroom cannons simultaneously bombarded the defensive barrier at the entrance of the fifth staircase.
Caught off guard, the barrier and the soldier who was defending it were instantly reduced to ashes.
The shock wave from the explosion even blew away a tired adventurer, whose head hit the ground hard and he fainted on the spot.
"Here it comes." Soralin reminded with a grim expression.
Deep in the darkness of the fifth floor, a fluorescent mushroom hat suddenly lit up.
As if a chain reaction had been triggered, countless fluorescent lights lit up one after another, and in an instant, a vast ocean of fluorescent light spread out before everyone's eyes.
Gulu——
The sheer magnitude of this made everyone feel a chill in their hearts.
Faced with this scene, a certain adventurer suddenly collapsed in despair, curled up in a corner with his head in his hands, and muttered words for mercy.
Seeing his crazy appearance, others felt a sense of empathy - in such a desperate scene, it was normal to go crazy...
Even Shiwu had a drop of cold sweat on his forehead: "Before we set out... no one told me that there were so many Puji..."
As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the center of the fluorescent ocean, where stood a fat otaku named Puji.
Standing on the mushroom cap of the fat otaku Puji is the king of Puji in the eyes of the expedition team: six tentacles are spread out, a scarlet cloak is fluttering, a silver pendant is hanging under the mushroom cap, and there is a shield the size of his body on his back - this Puji has actually armed himself to the extreme with human equipment!
