Chapter 341 340. Delicious and Juicy
The majestic marshal puffed on the top of the Jida, a mycelial tentacle curled high up a large mushroom that emitted a psychedelic colorful halo and looked a little wrong. He said to Norris in the cockpit: "Come on, Norris, open your mouth, ah——"
Norris looked up and saw the shadow cast by the marshal above him, his face full of resistance: "Boss, can't you just try someone else?"
"Norris!" The boss looked offended. "What do you mean by that? Do you think that I, your boss, am just a guy who makes fun of you?"
Although he knew that this anger was 99% pretended, Norris still gave in instantly.
He closed his eyes resignedly, raised his head with a fearless attitude, opened his mouth, and prepared to face the unknown fate.
"That's more like it."
The marshal squeezed his tentacles, and immediately colorful juice overflowed, splashing all over Norris's mouth and face.
Norris soon discovered something was wrong, and he even took the initiative to move his face closer so that more dripping juice could fall accurately into his mouth.
The mushroom was soon completely squashed. Norris wiped the remaining juice off his face with an unsatisfied look, licked his palm and asked, "Boss! What is this?"
He had never tasted such wonderful and delicious juice!
"Hmph!" The Marshal casually stuffed the shriveled colorful mushroom residue into Norris's mouth. "The latest delicious juicy mushrooms! Share the rest with Xiao Hei."
[Delicious LV8] plus [Juicy LV2]!
As for the dazzling colorful light effects, it was simply because Lin Jun felt that such an amazing thing had to look cool enough.
This special "delicious juicy mushroom" is delicious even when eaten raw, and can be squeezed out to make a delicious drink like this!
It was so convenient that Lin Jun even considered establishing a technological monopoly and making a fortune by exclusively launching this dream drink at Puji House.
But then I thought, I have to invent a reasonable explanation for the source, which is too troublesome, so I gave up for the time being.
Unfortunately, the [Epidermal Penetration] skill was not successfully extracted from the "Pale Pilgrimage" fruit, otherwise his poisoning ability would have reached a new level.
Today, the situation deep in the Shenmu underground city is worrying.
If the elves cannot come up with an effective solution, the rich ecology accumulated over countless years will probably suffer a devastating blow.
This is not a good thing for Lin Jun. In the short term, he may be able to decompose a batch of monster corpses, but in the long run, the sustainable output capacity of the "treasure house" of Shenmu Dungeon will be greatly reduced.
There is no other way but to hope that the elves are strong enough and speed up the laying of fungal mats and digging of webways, so as to recycle as much as possible before the ecology completely collapses.
This trip was naturally mainly due to the credit of the former half-demon leader. Lin Jun gave him a whole bucket of mushroom juice, 5,000 contribution points, and granted him a month's paid leave.
At this moment, Bastardos was leisurely half-lying on a chair next to his hut, sipping cold mushroom juice, watching the other prisoners work like a retired cadre.
However, the skill bow that was temporarily lent to him was taken back by Lin Jun.
It’s not that Lin Jun is stingy, but Bastardos’s bow skills are indeed average, at least far inferior to the original owner of this bow.
And now is the time to return the property to its original owner!
"Light Bee..." The elven ranger Pellagor took the lost beloved bow from Marshal Puji's tentacles, gently stroked the bow with his fingertips, and whispered its name.
It was only at this moment that Lin Jun realized that this bow actually had a name.
"Pelagle, I hope you can turn over a new leaf and become a mushroom again!"
"Yes, Boss!" Pelager stood up straight, his eyes burning with an almost fanatical light. "For the prosperity of the mushroom garden, I am willing to give everything!"
[Status: Cognitive Replacement]
[So evil]
"Hmm...what evil?" Norris, who was competing with Xiao Hei to stuff delicious juicy mushrooms into his mouth, looked at the yellow book beside him in confusion.
In just a short while, Xiao Hei took two more bites and ate half of it without even chewing.
[Come on, juniors!]
Norris blinked, completely unable to understand what the yellow book meant.
…
Sigimund could still rely on the continuous consumption of prisoners and dream potions to build a defense line, barely resisting Lin Jun's mental invasion, and he only had to endure the torture of connection for a short two hours every day.
As a prisoner, the elven ranger Pelager can only rely on his own pure willpower, and is exposed to the pervasive erosion around the clock and endlessly.
Under such extremely harsh conditions, he was able to persist for so long. His strong will is extraordinary.
Unfortunately, all this tenacity was ultimately meaningless.
Through operations in dreams, Lin Jun experimentally and bit by bit replaced Pellagel's deep-seated fanatical belief in the "Ark" organization with loyalty to the "Mushroom Garden".
I didn't expect that I could really create a state of "cognitive replacement".
I wonder if this state will be broken by a call from his relatives and friends full of sincerity and past memories?
But at least for now, Pelagle has become the most devout and fearless warrior in the "Mushroom Garden"!
Of course, this forced cognitive reshaping also comes with a significant side effect – partial memory loss.
In order to make the new belief of "Mushroom Garden" logically self-consistent, his brain naturally sealed some memories that logically conflicted with it, resulting in obvious confusion and discontinuities in his memory.
Even so, Lin Jun still dug out a lot of information from his fragmented memories:
For example, the ritual that triggers "madness" is essentially a kind of abyssal magic, whose purpose is to pollute the ecology of the entire Shenmu Dungeon and create large-scale chaos.
For example, the spread of "madness" mainly relies on emotional resonance. The high excitement and blood rush during close combat are the most easily infected, while mages who are calm and accustomed to rational thinking are the group most difficult to be eroded.
For another example, he revealed the identities of several "Ark" members, but unfortunately, these names were very unfamiliar to Lin Jun and had no value.
Unfortunately, Lin Jun is not an ally of the elves and does not intend to report to the elves' top leaders or intervene too much in the dispute between the elves and the "Ark".
Through the Elf Squad, we have done enough to let the elves realize the existence of [Madness] in advance.
Compared with the things happening in Mushroom City, the elves' side is much less important.
Chrollo, the demon spy who was pulled into the organization some time ago, brought a new news: he received the latest mission, which was to confirm the location of the Duke's daughter Inanna and report at any time.
