Chapter 229 228. Seal
Five-layer mushroom forest.
The mushroom forest that once emitted a faint fluorescent light has long since become a mess, with mushroom trees lying all over the place, and broken branches and caps covered with hideous claw and tooth marks.
In the center of the ruins, a space crack about four meters long was gaping open.
On the other side of the rift is a lush, green, primeval forest that is full of life but quite deadly, as evidenced by the monsters that come out of it.
A worm with a thick shell was attracted by the burning smell wafting from the fifth floor. It slowly poked its huge body out of the crack and crawled out clumsily.
However, just when its shell-covered body had crawled halfway, the crack suddenly shrank without any warning!
The unstable edge of the crack turned into a space blade, and the worm's hard shell was like thin paper in front of the space crack and was easily cut!
What was even more terrifying was that the edge of the crack was deeply embedded in its soft flesh, causing it to suffer flesh cutting every time it moved. It was caught in a dilemma and could only tremble in vain in severe pain.
But it doesn't know that this is its last chance to escape.
As time passed, the crack continued to shrink and slowly closed... and finally disappeared without a trace, leaving only half of the insect corpse in its place.
…
oh!
So this is what it feels like to repair a crack!
In the core area, the huge crystal monument still exudes a pure green glow, and Lin Jun’s soul is still stuck inside.
The suction force coming from the core did not stop, but Lin Jun was no longer worried that it would suck him dry.
When Lin Jun's soul completely filled the crystal tablet, a wonderful cycle was formed!
The core continued to absorb the essence of his soul at a constant caliber, and at the same time, exhaled the soul at the same constant caliber.
At this moment, Lin Jun's soul was like being connected to a unique dual-channel circulation system, establishing a semi-permanent link with the core of the dungeon in a dynamically balanced way.
The reason why it is "semi-permanent" is that after obtaining the core authority, Lin Jun can forcibly extract his soul from the core based on his feeling.
However, the dungeon still needs computing power to maintain, and too rough a method may cause unpredictable consequences, so it is safest to maintain the status quo for now.
Controlling the core means that Lin Jun now has great authority within the Amethyst Dungeon.
Theoretically, he could control the punishment lightning, access rights, and even space conversion in the dungeon...
The reason why it is only in theory is that in practice it is just like editing code, and Lin Jun is still a complete layman and can only grope his way around!
The electric arc that shocked the yellow book before was purely because in the core hall, calling up permissions was as direct as moving your fingers. Once you leave the core area, the complexity and difficulty of the operation will soar exponentially!
Fortunately, repairing space rifts does not require high "technology".
He only needs to throw the computing power provided by the soul to the location of the crack, and the dungeon will automatically repair the rest.
Of course, since the soul needs to continue to provide computing power, it will naturally have an impact on Lin Jun.
The most direct impact is that the control capacity of the Puji Legion has been permanently compressed by 500 units, and when repairing the rifts, an additional capacity will be occupied.
Therefore, facing the now devastated underground city, Lin Jun can only adopt a conservative repair strategy - giving priority to those cracks that pose the greatest threat and may cause greater trouble, and the rest can only be dealt with slowly.
As for other complex functions of the dungeon, we can only explore them while repairing them.
However, Lin Jun had a strong intuition: the lightning as a punishment measure was probably the button that was easiest to guess in this complex permission system.
In addition to the core, Lin Jun also had an unexpected gain.
【Inspiration LV1】
Simply put, a crack has been opened in his perception. Although it is currently only LV1, in the weak perception, except for his own majestic and clear blue soul, other souls are as blurred as through a layer of thick fog, but this is also a leap from 0 to 1!
This skill was not plundered, but was awakened by oneself after experiencing the soul being pulled by the core.
The knowledge and power of the soul realm have always been Lin Jun's blind spot.
Just as this crisis revealed, his carefully planned back-up plan, whether it was the transfer of the body or the cutting of the fungal web, was all on the physical level.
As a result, on the soul level, he was easily tricked by the Yellow Book. It wasn't even a soul attack, but just a trap that utilized the core mechanism, which almost caused him to fail.
If I had had this [inspiration] earlier, I might have been able to see through the Yellow Book's trick.
Speaking of the yellow book, there is a reason why Lin Jun hasn't thrown it directly into the void yet. It is now in a delicate state, and a small bit of Lin Jun's soul occupies its cover.
At first, it wanted to squeeze Lin Jun out, but every time it squeezed a little, Lin Jun squeezed a little in, maintaining a dynamic balance for it. Finally, the yellow book had to give up.
This allowed Lin Jun to get in touch with the essence of the yellow book - something that was like a soul but not a soul.
It is not clear what it is specifically, but it is obvious that as long as you use your soul to wrap and crush it, you can easily kill the yellow book. Life and death are truly in Lin Jun's hands, which is more direct than being parasitized by mycelium.
If you run to a place where the mycelium is not covered by the fungus network, you will not be affected.
Based on the experience that soul contact ignores space, Lin Jun can deal with it at any time even if he throws the yellow book far away.
By the way, the yellow book said at the end that there was some important information.
Snap——
Puji flicked his tentacle, and the tattered yellow book with green lines on the cover was thrown on the cold ground like garbage.
Now, if you only rely on your naked eyes to distinguish, it is difficult to connect this rotten book in front of you with the previous holy scriptures.
Puji kicked the notebook away: "Didn't you say there was important information? Don't play dead, tell me now!"
After waiting for a while, there was no response.
A tiny arc of electricity fell accurately, and a burning smell rose along with green smoke.
Still silent.
Then... continue to power on!
The electric arcs were like whips, one after another, until the yellow book was almost turning into a black book.
The voice Puji suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "Oh! I'm sorry, Master Shengdian~ I forgot that you don't have a single page left, and I can't write on the cover!"
Soon, outside the core, a minotaur was sacrificed to the yellow book.
Feeling that the faint soul entered the cover, Lin Jun pinched the origin of the yellow book.
"Listen carefully," Lin Jun's voice came through the voice chatter, "From now on, no soul is allowed to be stored on the cover! If you dare to store it once, I will crush you to death! Understand?"
Under the threat, the spine of the book trembled slightly, and a brand new but obviously fragile page quickly grew out with a certain eagerness to "survive".
As soon as the pages were formed, the yellow book was in a hurry to prove that it still had value!
[Stop the electric shock! Stop the electric shock! I'll tell you everything!]
[The secret is behind the small door in the core!]
…
…
…
Several Puji stood in front of the small door. As long as he wanted, Lin Jun, who had the highest authority, could easily push the door open.
but--
"What do you mean one-sixth of the demon king is sealed behind it?"
