Chapter 227 226. The culprit who destroyed the underground city
Inside the cave, the souls that were forcibly released let out mournful wails, and like invisible smoke, they eventually dissipated into the cold air, leaving no trace.
At this time, the two heavy covers of the yellow book drooped limply, like two withered petals. The spine was empty, with only a single page left, pitifully sandwiched in the middle, reserved for communication.
[wooooooooooooooo]
[Boss…you…you must remember your promise!] The handwriting on the page looked particularly weak and aggrieved.
"Don't worry," the voice said soothingly, "I'll keep my promise!"
After asking the fat guy Puji to send the tool Xiaohei back to the stone fort, Lin Jun came to the core area with the yellow book.
To be honest, Lin Jun didn't want to do this kind of thing, such as beating his employees before they start working.
But...the Yellow Book is something he can't figure out at all, so he has to be on guard against it!
The only way Lin Jun knew to limit it was the soul page.
…
[This is the core!]
Passing through the huge door and stepping into the core area, even with only one page left, the yellow book still uttered a shocking "exclamation".
"Hey, are you a maintenance expert? Why is your reaction similar to mine, who's here for the first time?" Lin Jun couldn't help but say.
[Because this is indeed my first time entering the core of a dungeon!]
[Although I was born with the knowledge of repair, I never had the opportunity to do it before!] There is an indescribable excitement on the pages of the book.
"Okay, okay," Lin Jun urged, "Hurry up and take a look. Where do we start repairing it?"
[That big crystal!] Yellow Book didn't hesitate.
Puji carefully held the yellow book and brought it close to the crystal monument with nebula-like light spots flowing around it.
A wonderful scene took place. Countless tiny spots of light in the crystal monument seemed to be summoned and were pulled out in strands. They lingered and rotated around the yellow book, forming a miniature, shining halo!
At the same time, the yellow book no longer needs to be lifted up, it floats up on its own as if it were nothing!
Its remaining pages moved without wind, swaying back and forth against the backdrop of the star rings and spots, creating a mysterious rhythm.
Lin Jun felt that if the book had all its pages now, and it kept flipping through the pages, combined with this special effect, it would probably be quite cool...
[Boss, do you remember that I told you that the dungeon collapse was due to insufficient computing power?] The words on the yellow book no longer appeared impatient, but rather strangely calm.
"Nonsense, isn't it just a waste of the dungeon's computing power to let me harass the war dolls?"
[Do you know what the source of the 'computing power' that supports the operation of the entire dungeon is?]
Puji shook his mushroom cap and asked, "Produced by the core?"
[Of course not, the core is just a tool to control the dungeon]
The handwriting on the yellow book suddenly became heavier.
[Soul! It’s the soul! The souls of the intelligent creatures that died within the dungeon will be captured and absorbed by the rules of the dungeon for a short time before returning to the origin of the world!]
[The last remaining heat of these souls before their return is the fuel that drives the huge computing power of the dungeon!]
"..." Lin Jun did not answer. The entire core hall was filled with the only sound of the low hum of energy pipes.
[Did you think of anything?]
[Boss, do you know what you look like in my eyes?]
“…”
Although Lin Jun didn't say anything, Huang Bishu continued talking to himself.
[You are a greedy devourer!] The handwriting on the page suddenly became cold and sharp!
[You use the fungal blanket to decompose the corpses, completely devouring the soul power contained in them, along with all traces of their existence!]
[Then, you throw the soul, which has been squeezed clean and only has the purest essence left, back to the world!]
[They no longer follow the rules of the dungeon! They no longer provide the dungeon with any 'residual heat'!]
[You! Are the culprit for the destruction of the dungeon!]
The air seemed to freeze, and the cap of the mushroom stopped shaking.
"These things... you chose to talk about them now," Lin Jun's voice was terribly low, "which means..."
[It means I—intentionally—didn’t—tell—you!]
The surrounding Puji tentacles were like arrows shot from a bow, and with a sound of breaking through the air, they suddenly pierced towards the floating yellow book!
However, all the tentacles hit an invisible and absolutely solid wall of air just an inch away from the yellow book!
[No passage]
The cold rules appeared on the panel. This time, even the title of "Brave" lost its effect!
Bang!
A fat boy blew himself up! A violent shock wave swept across!
The smoke and dust cleared, but the invisible wall of air remained motionless, firmly protecting the yellow book behind it. In the entire core area, not even a speck of dust was stirred up, and it continued to operate coldly, precisely, and silently.
The Yellow Book ignored the attacks from all around it, floating in the ring of light spots, and continued its declaration:
[It is very easy to repair a dungeon, just add souls to it]
[It used to be difficult to control the dungeon... but now it is different.] The handwriting on the pages of the book reveals a strong sense of pride.
[Taking advantage of the unprecedented weakness of the dungeon, I will use a massive torrent of souls that are completely under my control to flush its core... Seizing the highest authority is as easy as pie!]
[This is all thanks to you!]
[By the way, Boss]
[Have I told you... that my cover is the best repository of the soul?]
The next moment, countless twisted, wailing souls suddenly gushed out from the cover of the yellow book. They circled and screamed wildly in the core hall, and finally gathered into a gray-black turbid stream, rushing into the suspended main crystal monument!
The gray-black filth began to spread, diffuse, and erode the pure and transparent crystal monument like ink dripping into clear water!
[Hahahahaha!]
The remaining pages of the yellow book waved back and forth proudly in front of Puji.
[You know what? You lose because you know nothing about all this!]
[Don't trust me? So what! Who else can you find besides me?]
[The knowledge gap has already doomed you to failure!]
[Boss?]
"cut!"
[Tsk tsk tsk, little poof~]
[If you kneel down and beg for mercy now, I will show mercy and leave the fifth floor to you as your permanent nest. It’s not impossible~]
"Why are you pretending!"
Having tried the mushroom cannon and self-destruction, Lin Jun really had no way to deal with the complacent yellow book in front of him in front of the air wall.
Got tricked!
The entire Amethyst Dungeon was about to be occupied by this guy in front of him, so Lin Jun was naturally furious.
Although the situation was terrible, it was not like Lin Jun had never made a plan for being backstabbed!
The next moment, the main body of the sixth layer suddenly changed into a split body, and was then decomposed and digested by the fungal network beneath it.
[Seven Sins of Greed Trigger]
[Plundering Skill: Split Level 1]
Lin Jun's real body was transferred to the secret room under the knight's mushroom hat in the dungeon of Stone Castle.
Then it split into another part, and let one of the Puji hide somewhere else.
On the core side, the Pujis no longer attacked the air wall, making futile attempts.
"You're so cruel, let's wait and see!"
[Little puff~]
The handwriting on the yellow book was written with playful wavy lines.
[You don't think I'll let you go?]
???
The next moment, an irresistible and terrifying suction force originating from the soul level suddenly burst out from the contaminated crystal monument!
Inside the core hall, the Pujis did not suffer any physical impact, but it was as if the fire of life was sucked away in an instant. Their caps tilted, and they collapsed to the ground in groups, all their life force gone!
This suction force not only appeared in the core, but also affected the Puji and fungus network in the entire dungeon almost at the same time!
Even if Lin Jun acted decisively and forcibly cut off all the fungal networks outside the stone fortress, he would not be able to stop the suction force on his soul that had "grabbed" him!
[Tsk, what a shame]
[You actually rejected my kind offer]
[Then, become my sacrifice to completely control this dungeon!]
[HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA]
The crazy and deformed word "Ha" was like an out-of-control tide, refreshing and overlapping frantically on the only remaining, lonely page of the book!
