Chapter 282 281. Xiao Hei's Dilemma
【Mushroom Cannon LV10】
Instead of relying on greedy devouring, the first full-level skill that Chunchun practiced on his own appeared!
Once I have trained several mushroom-related skills to the maximum level, maybe I can fuse them into a "Mushroom Extreme"?
Now the power of the mushroom cannon has been increased by several times based on the ninth level.
Now with the effect of [Resonance LV4] added on, it's even more terrifying!
Speaking of [Resonance], as the level increases, the number of Puji that can be coordinated also increases.
The resonance cannon used before was made up of more than a dozen Pujis.
This actual combat still exposed many problems of the resonance cannon.
For example, because it is too long, it can only be carried by multiple Jida together, resulting in slow turning and difficulty in hitting high-speed targets.
This thing is positioned similarly to a cannon, primarily for fire suppression rather than precise sniping.
With so many of them, it’s quite worth looking forward to bombarding the battlefield.
However, this brings up the second problem - magic power consumption!
The magic cannon fired by the two Pujis in resonance consumes more than twice the magic power.
The greater the number of resonances, the more terrifying the magic power consumption.
This is also why the intervals between the resonance cannon's attacks became longer after the first two shots.
That's because Puji's own magic power has been used up, and it has to be temporarily recharged from the fungal blanket, so it is naturally slow.
Of course, in the face of excellent firepower, these are just minor problems, and Lin Jun is not someone who lacks magic power!
…
Just two days after the battle, the tips of the fine black scales on Xiao Hei's forehead, which had been smashed by Jialun's heavy punch, had reappeared.
It is estimated that it will be back to normal in about ten days.
Lin Jun purchased a batch of gems from human channels and gave them to Xiao Hei. Although the quality was not as good as the pure emerald that she treasured, they were crystal clear and colorful, far better than ordinary glass balls. Xiao Hei was quite satisfied with it.
The price Lin Jun paid was just some [Delicious LV6] red mushrooms, and there was even some left over, so he let Aidin collect it as activity funds.
It is worth mentioning that on the human side, the price of delicious mushrooms, which are usually only around LV2, has begun to steadily decline.
Although the output ratio of gourmet mushrooms is not high, with the rapid expansion of mushroom fields, this once rare thing is gradually becoming "affordable".
This wave of price cuts not only impacted the delicious mushrooms themselves, but also affected other fruits with the "delicious" attribute, and their market value was also lowered.
Some nobles who suffered losses were furious and tried to put pressure on Farr to restrict the expansion of the mushroom fields.
Unfortunately, Fal ignored them.
The mushrooms, with their increasing production and continuous export, are now Farr's biggest political and economic bargaining chip.
Especially since the elves are no longer willing to provide more food aid, the importance of Mutewind to the United Kingdom is growing.
In addition, even if Far's father, who is the president of the Adventurer's Guild, does not favor his son, his existence itself is enough to make those who intend to use shady means to deal with Far think twice about whether it is worth taking the risk for a few gold coins.
Farr relied on the grain trade to obtain the lack of management talents and high-quality building stones. The town of Dumb Wind is transforming into a real city bit by bit with an unstoppable attitude.
But Xiao Hei is now facing a new problem - there are too many glitters and the mushroom house can no longer hold them!
Every time she tried to pry open the crack of the mushroom house, a few of the sparkling things inside would roll down with a "clatter".
She could only squat down and carefully pick up the fallen treasures one by one.
But when she opened the door again... history repeated itself.
Xiao Hei is not a fool who doesn't know how to adapt. After doing this more than ten times, she simply stopped entering the Mushroom House!
She hugged her thick tail, found a comfortable spot at the door of the mushroom house, curled up into a ball, and slept in the open air...
Fortunately, thanks to Xiao Hei's strong adaptability, her [Cold Resistance] has been upgraded to level 8, otherwise she would have been frozen to death.
Not to mention, sleeping outside now makes it easier for her to show her teeth to the demons that approach her mushroom house!
Lin Jun had no intention of taking the initiative to help her expand the mushroom house, as this would only be a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.
In just half a year, the whole house was filled with mushrooms. With her ever-improving collecting ability, even if the mushroom house expanded several times, it would not last long.
Do we need to set aside a special "shiny storage area" and build a row of mushroom houses as warehouses for her?
Hearing that life will inspire the wisdom to solve problems in difficult situations, Lin Jun chose to believe in Xiao Hei's wisdom!
…
Although Galen's matter attracted a lot of Lin Jun's attention, the development of the fungal mat in Shenmu Dungeon did not stop.
At this moment, at the entrance of Shenmu Underground City, the top surface of the huge spiral structure.
A small pile of dirt was pushed open, and several Pujis nimbly crawled out of the newly opened tunnel.
They ignored the several monsters nearby that were startled and looking around, quickly sprinkled special mycelium spores around the cave entrance as a mark, and then swiftly retreated into the dark underground tunnel.
Now that they have entered the surface area, Lin Jun plans to move diagonally downwards, at a depth of one or two hundred meters when entering the elf scout reconnaissance area, to avoid possible detection.
A two-hundred-meter-thick layer of rock and soil formed an excellent natural barrier. Even Lin Jun's own reconnaissance device couldn't sense the surface at this depth, and he absolutely didn't believe the elves could do the same.
This is not to question whether the elves may have more powerful detection technology, but that kind of powerful detection method is impossible to cover such a vast area as the entire elven city!
It is already remarkable enough to be able to closely monitor the magnificent Elf Palace.
Of course, Lin Jun also made a worst-case plan.
The Pujis that will carry out this mission have been carefully selected. Except for the underground Puji that has a strange appearance, the other Pujis are relatively ordinary in appearance, and none of them have symbiotic magic crystals in their bodies.
Even if they are unfortunately discovered by the elves, it can be completely explained as "the normal underground activities of a group of mutated wild Pooji."
The elves wouldn't wipe out all the natural burrowing creatures like rats and moles in the city's underground, would they?
As it turned out, Lin Jun's caution was unnecessary.
The entire excavation process went extremely smoothly, and the elves did not interfere with the excavation team at all.
Apart from occasionally encountering underground water veins, which forced the Pujis to temporarily change their routes, they encountered almost no other obstacles.
Just as Lin Jun had begun to think about how to help the elves in the cemetery return to nature faster, the rock resistance in front of the Pujis suddenly disappeared. The burrowing Puji was unable to retract its momentum in time and fell directly into a hole.
It is not a natural cave, but a basement that has been obviously artificially excavated and crudely polished.
The space is not big, less than ten square meters, and there is no one inside. If there was someone, Lin Jun would have discovered it in advance.
A wooden bed covered with a thin layer of dust, a tightly closed box, an empty table, and a small magic crystal lamp in the corner.
Apparently, someone had lived here before, but they had left some time ago.
But the key point is that this place is nearly two hundred meters deep underground!
What kind of basement would be built at such an incredible depth?
Anyway... let's check the box first!
