Chapter 353 352. Mushroom Descendants
Due to the distance, it will take some time for the takeaway to be delivered.
Before that, Lin Jun had another experiment.
"It's so cold! It's so hot! Ahhhhh! Kill me! Just kill me if you dare!"
The shrill screams echoed in the cold wind of the Far North. Among the duo who came to assassinate Inanna, the bald human assassin had already contributed his value, while the other vampire Viscount Giles was not used by Lin Jun until this moment.
Now, with his whole body covered in green, he is firmly tied to a tall pole, "enjoying" the direct sunlight of the pale midday sun in the extremely cold environment of ice and snow.
Obviously, the little benefit brought by [photosynthesis] cannot cover up the fact that vampires are naturally afraid of sunlight.
Fortunately, the sunlight in this world does not kill vampires as directly as in the previous life, otherwise Giles would have turned into a pile of ashes long ago.
However, it was not without gain. Relying on the alternation of hot and cold and the treatment to prolong his life, Giles actually managed to create a new skill [Sunlight Resistance LV1] in his skill bar after being exposed to the sun for a whole day.
This did not surprise Lin Jun, as he had seen [Sunlight Resistance LV2] on Sigimund's panel.
At present, this skill seems to only slightly reduce the direct burn damage caused by sunlight to vampires, but there is no obvious improvement on the weakness caused by sunlight.
Of course, this is most likely because the level is too low.
But just look at Sigimund and you will know that under normal circumstances, no vampire would roast himself over a fire every day for decades just to train such a resistance skill.
But Lin Jun can try to practice, since he is not the one who is burned anyway.
Thus, this "daily training task" was happily arranged. Several demonic members chatted and laughed as they took over the duties of guarding and "taking care" of Giles.
Of course, unlike Lin Jun, the demons were so happy not because they heard Giles' screams, but because they were about to recruit new members after a long time.
At the beginning, Lin Jun asked the demons to wait for a while because he wanted to do an experiment on the superposition of skills. Now the time has finally come!
…
Over in the Shenmu Dungeon, after the elves initially discovered the severity of the [Madness] pollution, a large number of elite rangers and druids, led by the captain of the royal guards at level 83, went deep into the dungeon and launched a large-scale purification and clearing operation.
"Madness" is not completely irreversible, and its influence can be eliminated through the Druid's painstaking and continuous purification.
But the problem is that this thing spreads much faster than it can be purified.
In desperation, the elves could only take a two-pronged approach, trying their best to save some valuable individuals, while at the same time clearing out most of the deeply infected monsters without hesitation.
The large-scale cleanup operation from top to bottom was in full swing, with magic arrows and purifying light shining everywhere, and even many innocent Puji were accidentally injured.
Fortunately, no one cares about the fungal mats that quietly cover the corners.
A large number of dead monster corpses were discarded in the forest at random, becoming excellent nutrients for Lin Jun's fungal mat.
As the monsters were decomposed and absorbed, the levels of various skills were improved, and most importantly, Lin Jun's long-cherished [Physical Resistance] finally reached the maximum level!
So, it’s time to put the Imperial Demon Gallon that I have raised for half a year to use.
The current Gallon is completely different from the strong and fierce appearance when he was first captured.
He was detained in a dark dungeon for a long time, had his blood drawn by a piglet regularly, and was occasionally toyed with by Lin Jun in his dreams. At this moment, he was thin, pale, and extremely weak.
However, the look he gave the other demons around him was still as arrogant as before.
When he was escorted to the "Cradle", as a fellow demon, he naturally knew what fate he was about to face.
He did not struggle, but silently took the bowl of steaming hot delicious mushroom soup and drank it all in one breath.
When the last trace of the sweet taste completely disappeared, he slowly opened his eyes and glanced at his fellow tribesmen around him, whose bodies were covered with magic patterns and mycelium.
"When demons fight each other, the loser's magic core ends up in the victor's 'cradle'. It's a tradition." His voice was hoarse but full of sarcasm. "But... with the way you look now, are you really worthy of calling yourselves 'demons'?"
"Anything else to say?" He said in a voice without any emotion, facing the Marshal's gaze.
Garen spat, a twisted grin forming on his face. "Move faster, kid!"
"good!"
The moment Shou's answer fell, a flash of cold light passed by! The movement was so fast that only a shadow was left. Gallen's head had already left his body and rolled to the cold snow.
Xinghuo, who had been waiting nearby, immediately stepped forward and solemnly began to preside over the ancient ritual of the birth of the demon. With Lin Jun's cooperation, two hours later, a brand new demon was born!
His body is covered with black and white interwoven magic patterns. The deep black is the base color brought by [Physical Resistance], while the crystal clear white patterns are the mycelium that coexists in between.
The surrounding demons cheered and celebrated enthusiastically for the new member of their tribe, but deep in Lin Jun's consciousness, a wave even more violent than theirs was surging!
The superposition of two [Physical Resistance LV10] indeed caused a change!
"Haha...hahahaha!" Lin Jun's uncontrollable laughter echoed in the minds of all the demons, interrupting their celebration.
Everyone stopped cheering involuntarily, and all their eyes turned to the trembling marshal above their head.
"I think he is right!" Lin Jun said excitedly.
"What?" Shou was unable to understand these incoherent words.
"You really shouldn't be called 'Demons' anymore!" Lin Jun's voice rose. "Your future will far surpass the limitations of 'Demons'! Under my command, you will surely become the most powerful race on this continent!"
The demons hadn't even seen the panel of the new member yet, and for a moment they didn't fully understand why the boss was suddenly so excited and assertive.
And Lin Jun directly showed them the reason in the most intuitive way!
He instantly took over the control of a nearby elite Puji. When everyone was caught off guard, the Puji suddenly swung its sharp blade whip, and with the force of thunder, it slashed at the newborn demon of only LV1 held in Xinghuo's arms from the blind spot!
The incident happened suddenly, and Shou, who was standing nearby, instinctively wanted to stop it, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally suppressed the urge to attack.
clang--!!!
Elite Puji's full-strength attack hit the target firmly.
The newly born demon was knocked away by the huge impact force and fell into the snow pile in the distance.
This sudden change shocked all the demons, and the scene was dead silent.
Only Xinghuo screamed, rushed over anxiously, and hurriedly picked up the newborn tribesman from the snow pile.
"No... Are you okay? Not hurt at all?!" Xinghuo checked the bodies of his tribesmen, his voice trembling with shock.
【Physical Immunity】!
At this moment, Lin Jun's voice rang out again, as if announcing the arrival of a new era: "From today on, you shall call yourselves 'Mushroom Clan'! And one day, this name will replace 'Demon Clan' and resound throughout the entire continent!"
