Chapter 330 329. Old Acquaintance
Looking at his sister who was still playing the trash picking game with her pet, Salian couldn't help but chuckle, his eyes full of doting: "Red wood pieces? It's really rare."
"It's more than just rare! Touch it and you'll find it's truly magical!" Ellawen's face flushed as she excitedly stuffed the wood chip into his hand.
The moment his fingertips touched the wood, Salian's face suddenly changed.
The blood seemed to heat up slightly, and a surge of excitement surged in my heart!
Invigoration technique?
It's not a morale-boosting technique... it's something more primitive and violent, similar to bloodthirsty magic!
What kind of dangerous stuff did this guy bring back?!
The smile disappeared, and he quickly activated his magic power. A layer of faint light wrapped around the dark red wood piece, making it float above the palm of his hand, no longer in direct contact.
He checked it several times and confirmed that the fragment itself was not enough to pose a greater threat. Only then did his tense shoulders relax a little.
But this is obviously only part of a whole.
The texture of the wood chips... had some familiar patterns, much like the bark of a dryad.
"Ellawen," he said, his voice lowered. "Where did this come from?"
Seeing her brother's sudden serious expression, Ellaven realized something was wrong and grabbed Puji on her head with both hands: "I, I'll let Xiaoji say..."
She closed her eyes and maintained this position for a while, using her gift to communicate silently with Puji.
A moment later, the scout Puji extended a mycelium tentacle and pointed in a certain direction outside the window.
"Over there?" Salian looked in that direction.
Ellawen explained, "Little Ji said he found it at its home...its home, presumably, refers to the dungeon."
"Dungeon..." After thinking for a few minutes.
Salian warned his sister not to touch the strange things that Puji picked up, as it was very dangerous!
Then he hurried away with the wood chips, leaving Ellawen, who didn't know what had happened, and Puji, who knew everything, in the house.
…
When faced with multiple-choice questions, Lin Jun always chooses all.
Since we have already sent the half-demon Bastardos deep into the dungeon, there is no reason to let the elf, the real owner of this place, sit idle.
As for whether the two sides will meet on the lower level?
The Shenmu underground city is vast and the probability of encountering someone is not high. Even if you encounter them, you can just run away. Lin Jun is still very confident in his reconnaissance ability.
As for the Shenmu Dungeon, all I can do for now is wait for the results.
I pulled my gaze back and took a look at the tenth floor.
The wandering Charming Puji "captured" another werewolf that was out hunting.
The next step is to bring him out, and then Norris will lead those "converted" werewolves to approach him, using words like "since you're here" and "it's worth a try" to let them experience the excitement of the outside world.
After that, it’s up to you whether to go or stay.
In short, the blockade set up by the old wolves is gradually being broken down.
Admiring those old wolves who are so exhausted but helpless because they are being eaten away bit by bit has become a good pastime for Lin Jun recently.
On the dream battlefield, after the skills were upgraded to level six, they finally got rid of the dilemma of being beaten unilaterally. Although they were still in a stalemate, at least they were not too frustrated.
And the "house thief" Fenpuji has officially taken up his post!
She frequently went in and out of the treasure house under the pretext of trying out various skill equipment. Every time she did, she would steal some dream flowers and throw them all to the nearby fungal blanket.
It was a fairly straightforward and unskilled method of stealing. The housekeeper seemed to be busy with other matters, and coupled with her identity as the Duke's daughter, she had not been caught yet.
It looked like she would remain at large until the next inventory count.
Finally, and this is what Lin Jun is most looking forward to, the guy he has been secretly observing for a long time is finally going to trigger the plot!
…
Ding-ling-ling——
The doorbell of the Puji House Hotel rang crisply, and a guest who looked like a traveling merchant pushed the door open and walked in.
Bianca, who was originally sweeping dust from the corners of the ceiling with a puff in the air, quickly slipped back behind the counter and asked, "Are you dining in or staying at the hotel?"
The boss Dylan went out for something, so naturally she was responsible for reception.
Nowadays, Puji's House is really full of Pujis busy coming and going, and there are a few traces of hyphae on Bianca's face, which makes the little girl's cuteness a bit weird.
Symbiosis with mycelium is not a strange thing for mushrooms nowadays, but it is rare to see such a young girl accepting symbiosis.
After all, that's something you have to be on the verge of death once to do.
There are many examples of people stabbing themselves to death due to poor operation, or not bringing a nanny and bleeding to death before completing the symbiosis.
Although the proportion of such unlucky people is not high, it is still a matter of risk of death, and few girls have such determination.
As for Bianca, she had no choice but to do so simply because she was short of money.
Of course, after she made the decision, she completed the symbiosis under the leadership of her boss Dylan. Lin Jun naturally could not let Dylan's clerk die accidentally, but she herself did not know it.
With the ability to control Puji, she can do the work of three people and earn the wages of two!
As a result, although Puji House's business has been increasing recently, Dylan no longer needs to spend time recruiting new people.
The merchant looked at the familiar mycelium on the girl's face and seemed to recall some past events, but he quickly came to his senses and said, "Stay in the hotel. Is the innermost room on the first floor still empty?"
"It's still available, I'll register you!" Bianca quickly checked the guest in and gave him the key.
Bianca was a smart girl. After working in the store for a few months, she vaguely realized that the innermost room on the first floor had a different meaning.
But this was obviously none of her business. Her boss Dylan gave her two salaries so that she could buy medicine and delicious mushrooms to take care of her mother's health. That was enough.
Watching the merchant's back as he turned into the corridor, Bianca turned back to the kitchen. She still had to prepare dinner for the guests in advance!
…
When Dylan returned with a large backpack filled with herbs, Bianca had prepared a hot meal for him.
These herbs are to be used as cover for the sale of potions later, and they were just retrieved from the Adventurer's Guild.
After briefly asking about the situation in the store, Dylan was slightly surprised to learn that there was a guest in the room at the end of the corridor.
Because Mudu had already contacted several spies he knew not long ago, so logically they would not come to him again in the short term.
Is he a newcomer here to pay his respects? Or does he have some special information to share?
Without rushing, Dylan finished his dinner as usual before returning to his room.
Then he entered the basement through the secret door and met the traveling merchant that Bianca mentioned.
"Brother Chloro?!"
"Brother Dylan?!"
