Chapter 188 187. Change
How could Chis know how much thought and drama Lin Jun put into this "luring trap"!
Even though the widespread fungal blanket can detect all invisible units, they have to be carefully disguised so that only a few reconnaissance units can spot them by chance.
Although he was deliberately trying to let the other party discover this "mushroom arsenal", he had to control the rhythm and not let Chis notice it too easily or too deliberately, so as not to arouse suspicion and reveal flaws.
Finally, you have to wait patiently for several days until the prey falls into the trap.
To be honest, even Lin Jun himself was a little surprised that Chis actually chose a roundabout sneak attack instead of the shortest and easiest way to break through as he had expected.
However, their detour plan was discovered halfway by the scattered fungal mats. The so-called lack of time to assemble was entirely intended to lure the enemy deeper into their territory.
Now...it's time to harvest!
There were a total of fifty heavy-armored Puchis in the field, but Lin Jun had spent a lot of money to build them. As a result, Norris's transformation plan was shelved. Now they were lying quietly on the mycelium bed like frozen meat, waiting for subsequent processing.
Faced with the encirclement of the Puji army, Qis was naturally unwilling to be killed.
The Evil Eye tried to attack with [Petrification Ray], but was blocked.
Cave No. 8 is already filled with rugged rocks and mushroom trees deliberately created by Lin Jun, and its terrain is complex.
At this moment, the heavily armored Puji transformed into huge mobile shield walls, shuttling between the bunkers.
Each time, they covered the transfer of a dozen ordinary Pujis, steadily squeezing the living space of the Chiss army!
The Chiss were not without long-range means—stone throwing, poisonous stinger barrages, and acid spitting at close range.
However, these attacks were like tickling to the heavily armored Puji, which was designed for defense, and it was difficult to even damage the outer layer of rock armor.
If you really want to cause effective damage, you have to get into close combat and output.
But whenever the six claws launched a fearless charge, they would immediately be attacked by the ruthless crossfire from behind the cover, resulting in heavy casualties.
After several attacks, a large number of elite soldiers were killed, but the result was only the destruction of four heavily armored Pujis...a drop in the bucket!
As the distance between the two sides was less than 200 meters, Lin Jun began the fire coverage attack without hesitation.
Using the terrain and the heavy armor as cover, they began to strangle the remaining Chiss.
In the battle, a heavily armored Puji went deep into the enemy's territory alone and "clumsily" rushed to the front line. It even stood directly under the evil eye of a Puji who was busy rolling his eyeballs and trying to petrify the Puji who made a mistake in his position in the distance.
Chis didn't focus on the heavily-armored Puff that rushed forward. Without the support of the mushroom cannon, its own lethality was not high.
Then, this heavy armored beast... exploded!
The explosion damage of 50 physical strength is far greater than that of ordinary self-destruction.
The heavy stone mushroom cap was blown away by the violent impact force, like a cannonball fired from a gun, instantly piercing through the [magic shield] of the evil eye above, and smashing into its huge, fragile eyeball!
Sudden by the critical hit, Evil Eye could not maintain its shield for a while, and as a result, more than ten mushroom cannons instantly took away this huge but extremely fragile guy.
The evil eye fell, and the battle situation collapsed instantly.
Pujis no longer have to hide their bodies and can give their all without any worries.
What’s even more deadly is that the Evil Eye is not only the main output, but also the spiritual connection node of the entire Chiss force!
Without the evil eye, the remaining Chis became a pile of loose sand, and then turned into a pile of rotten meat.
…
…
…
As usual, the job of cleaning up the mess after the war fell on the shoulders of the hardworking Niuma Puji.
This time, not only do they have to clean up the mountains of Chiss debris, but they also have to dismantle the giant mushroom that has completed its mission.
This huge empty shell, which is only for show, consumes a large amount of magic power just to maintain its form. Now that its value as a bait has been exhausted, there is naturally no need for it to continue to exist.
This time, not only did we get rid of the evil eye, but we also harvested a large number of Chiss corpses. I guess [Cold Resistance] can also be upgraded to LV7. I will turn around and put my heavy armor on the rift to block the Chiss. I won't have to worry about it interfering with my expedition!
At the edge of the cave, Louisa, who was a reserve force and ultimately failed to take part in the battle but watched the entire battle, swallowed unconsciously.
As a diamond-level vampire, she has gone through countless battles to gain her current strength.
However, outside of the dungeon, the biggest battles she had ever experienced were just small-scale military conflicts.
Commanding more than a thousand Puji to wipe out monsters was already the biggest scene she had ever witnessed.
And today, thousands of Puji and Chiss armies were fighting brutally, with giant beasts like the Evil Eye among them... This scene was like a heavy hammer hitting her heart, bringing her unprecedented shock!
She also witnessed with her own eyes the might of those heavily-armored Pujis, and sensed with great clarity that the big boss Pujis were evolving at a rapid pace!
A burning idea quietly grew in his mind: Will I be able to command these more powerful Puji armies in the future?
Maybe one day, they will no longer be confined to this dark underground kingdom, but will be led back to the surface to bathe in the moonlight?
Could I, with a wave of my hand, be able to start a war frenzy of such scale, such blood, and so... intoxicating?
This thought made her heart surge, but it also brought a cold fear - she was afraid!
He was afraid that his strength would stagnate and he would eventually be unable to keep up with Puji's evolution.
I was afraid that one day, I would be regarded as a useless chess piece by the boss, abandoned in some dark corner, left to be covered with mushrooms and decay silently...
She is a vampire, so naturally she cannot be accepted by other races.
It had been so long since the mission failed, even if she escaped back to the empire, she would definitely be checked and the abnormality of her body being fused with mycelium would be discovered.
She had no other place to go. If she didn't want to live a secluded life, she could only follow the boss. At least Puji didn't reject vampires.
But due to the bloodline shackles, her level was limited to 50 and she could not make any progress. The boss seemed to have no intention of replicating Norris's "transformation" on her.
She understood this as her identity being a "captive" rather than "herself".
Louisa's fingertips tightened slightly.
It seems... I must find a way to make a contribution of sufficient weight and then use it to tell the boss about how I can become stronger in the future...
…
On the other side, Lin Jun, who had no idea what the piglet was thinking and was immersed in the joy of the harvest, suddenly paused.
In my perception, a slightly familiar signal entered the range of the fungal blanket in Dumb Wind Town...
——
"Um--!!!"
A sudden and suppressed short groan made the middle-aged man riding a horse at the front of the team look back.
"Inanna, what's going on?" The man's voice was filled with concern and confusion.
"No... I'm fine, Uncle Alwayne," Inanna tried to remain calm, but her slender white fingers unconsciously clenched the reins, "I just... I shivered suddenly just now... I'm fine now."
She pursed her lips and subconsciously clamped her legs around the docile mare beneath her, trying to suppress the "homecoming"-like warmth and throbbing that came with suddenly connecting to the fungus web back into her heart.
Not yet... I can't turn myself into Puji yet, nor can I call the boss directly in the fungus network.
Be patient! Be patient! At least until you move into a room where you are the only one in the house...
