Chapter 325 324. Service
"Assemble! Line up!"
Following Louisa's order, the twenty selected prisoners quickly moved and formed into two neat rows. On both sides of the row, followed by a white mass of nearly four hundred Pujis controlled by these prisoners.
Only the situation at the end of the team was quite special. The prisoner was not controlling an ordinary Puji, but a slightly bulky Jida.
Louisa glanced at everyone, and after confirming that everything was correct, she turned around and waved her hand, and the whole team obediently followed her and began to move.
These twenty prisoners of war were carefully selected individuals with outstanding performance and high obedience.
They themselves are well aware that this opportunity is rare and cherish it very much.
After all, daily labor can only earn you ten contribution points a day. If you want to redeem your freedom, it will take nearly three years of uninterrupted accumulation. This is under the ideal premise that you can resist all temptations and never waste any contribution points.
The reality is that ever since the cafeteria started to supply a limited quantity of the unforgettable "delicious mushrooms", nearly half of the prisoners of war would consume contribution points from time to time to satisfy their appetites.
Those with even less self-discipline cannot make any contribution at all, and they seem to have given up the pursuit of freedom and are just lying down.
In comparison, participating in this operation will earn you a daily basic contribution point of 50 points!
It is said that those who perform well will receive extra rewards, so everyone is naturally very motivated and cautious.
The team passed through the space rift and the temperature of the surrounding environment gradually increased.
The lizardman Baroque felt his cold scales stretch out and he couldn't help but shiver in comfort.
He stole a glance at Louisa, who was leading the team at the front, then moved slightly closer to his half-demon companion and asked in a low voice, "Ergen, where do you think we're going this time?"
When they were first captured, there was considerable friction and mutual contempt between the Lizardmen and the Half-Demons, and conflicts occurred frequently.
However, under Puji's management, when it's time to "plant mushrooms" for you, he will never plant fewer mushrooms just because you are a lizardman.
As prisoners of war, living in a mixed environment, over time, except for a few stubborn ones, the barriers between most lizardmen and half-demons have been eliminated a lot, and many of them have even become friends like Baroque and Ergen.
Ergen thought for a moment. "Perhaps we're going to deal with the werewolves? I heard someone has established a friendship with them and found out where a group of werewolves who refuse to submit to the boss are entrenched. Perhaps this time we're going to subdue them?"
Although the captives also called him "boss", they all thought that the marshal Puji in the scarlet cloak was the leader, and Lin Jun had never opened up the fungus network communication rights to them.
Baroque took stock of the team's size and said, "With just these few people...isn't that too few?"
"Mmmm... Mmmm!" A vague sound, as if blocked by something, came from the noise behind the two of them.
Baroque looked back at the Jida and asked Ergen, "What is the stick saying?"
Ergen translated, "He said, why bother with so much? Just give as many contribution points as possible!"
"You are really amazing. You can understand this!" Baroque praised sincerely.
"Stick" refers to the half-demon driving the Jida.
He was extremely unlucky. He lost his limbs and even suffered a serious injury to his throat in that decisive defeat.
Logically speaking, this kind of injury is no different from death, but the Pujis rescued him and developed his talent for controlling Jida, allowing him to earn contributions in this way.
Because he was just a torso, he naturally earned the nickname "Stick".
Unlike other prisoners of war who earned contributions in exchange for their freedom, Stick's primary goal was to redeem the expensive "Limb Regeneration Potion" on the list.
Therefore, he is more eager and urgent than anyone else to earn every contribution point.
"Hmm, hmm!" The stick made an indistinct sound again.
"What does this mean?" Baroque asked.
However, this time, Ergen did not translate immediately as usual. Baroque asked again, raising his voice slightly, but Ergen seemed to have heard nothing, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.
Just as Baroque was about to ask something else, he finally realized something was wrong. A cold gaze fell on him. He turned his head and met Louisa's scarlet eyes...
…
The team's ultimate goal is naturally the Shenmu Dungeon.
The team first went up to the tenth floor, and then used hidden rooms to transport the team in batches to the rift on the seventh floor.
The hidden room is good in every way, but it’s a pity that the movement range is only from the first to the tenth floor, and the deep area is not included.
While stationed in the Far North, the prisoners had many rules and complicated daily affairs.
Most of these arrangements were actually useless, and Lin Jun was just looking for things for them to do.
The fundamental purpose is to correct their various lax and bad habits from the tribal period.
Today, they have made great progress in discipline and have learned to abide by the rules and obey orders from their superiors - even if the superiors who give them orders may be less powerful than themselves.
Now, it's time to start training them to fight alongside Puji.
Louisa serves as their combat instructor.
At present, the number of "crazy" monsters appearing in the Shenmu Dungeon is not large. On average, only one or two wander to the sixth floor every day, which is just right for these new recruits to train.
With twenty people forming a combat unit, even if an accident occurs, the losses are kept within an acceptable range.
When these new recruits from the North stepped into the Shenmu Dungeon for the first time, they were all shocked by the magnificent ancient forest scene before them!
A giant tree is a hundred meters high and requires seven or eight people to hug it!
Where in the North can there be such a lush forest that blocks out the sun?
Even the "stick" hidden in the Jida excitedly made a series of more rapid "Mmmm!" sounds.
After a brief moment of surprise and commotion, Louisa reorganized the troops and deployed them in an orderly manner throughout the defense line.
However, to Lin Jun's surprise, the first opponent the team encountered was neither a crazy demon nor an ordinary naive monster, but an elf, and even an old acquaintance of Lin Jun - the elf ranger with strange archery skills and the ability to shoot curved arrows!
He appeared directly from the lower area, and judging by his movements, he seemed to be planning to return to the upper level.
Lin Jun had no idea when he had sneaked into the lower level.
But this is normal. Even in the first six layers of the fungal mat, there are still large areas that are not covered for various reasons.
For example, the territories where migratory trees frequently move around, or the waters where mud monsters breed, etc. If you are lucky enough, it is indeed possible that you will not be discovered by Lin Jun in advance when you come down.
However, it was obvious that the elf's luck had run out on the way down. As soon as he stepped into the fungal blanket, Lin Jun recognized the elf who killed Scout No. 3 and prepared a welcome ceremony for him.
