Chapter 354 353. Ming
The newborn mushroom was named "Ming" by Lin Jun.
He has a juvenile stage of about half a month, after which he will enter the juvenile form and grow into a full adult within a year.
At this moment, he is enjoying a carefree childhood.
"Ming, go ahead! Kill it!"
In a specially dug deep pit, a level 12 rolling beetle was wrestling with Ming.
The rolling beetle suddenly curled up into a hard ball, rolled at high speed along the wall of the pit, and then slammed into Ming, smashing him heavily into the earth wall.
However, Ming quickly got up and rushed forward again, but was knocked to the ground by the rolling beetle with its size advantage, and was unable to move.
However, neither the insect legs nor the insect horns could cause any harm to this weak little mushroom creature.
"Ming, stop struggling! Break its legs! Yes, that leg!" Marshal Puji stood on the edge of the deep pit, giving orders from a distance.
Ming got the hint and stopped struggling. He held on to one of the struggling insect legs with both hands and pulled it back and forth with force.
Half a minute later, accompanied by a teeth-grinding "click", he finally broke off the first insect leg.
He did the same thing, and a few minutes later, the last leg of the rolling beetle was removed. Although it was still alive, the outcome was already decided.
[Level Up LV4 → LV5]
Puji stretched out its mycelial tentacles and pulled the little mushroom out from the bottom of the pit.
"Boss!" Ming panted, raised his little face, and looked at the marshal expectantly.
Lin Jun naturally knew what the little guy was expecting.
The tentacles wrapped around Ming's head and rubbed it vigorously. "Well done! Well done! For dinner, enjoy delicious mushroom stewed with oysters!"
Before he could finish his words, the mycelial tentacles wrapped around Ming's ankles and swung him like a handy weapon into a whirring "human windmill", and then slammed him into a huge oyster that had been prepared nearby!
Since the seventh floor of the dungeon became a shallow water area, this oyster is one of the few shellfish monsters that survived.
Lin Jun now harvests the fish regularly and feeds them some mushrooms to maintain the population, which can be considered as semi-cultivation.
With a crisp cracking sound, the hard oyster shell shattered!
Ming's face was covered with broken shells, but he climbed up without a care in the world.
Having just been praised, he smiled and took out the plump and tender oyster meat from the cracked shell.
He doesn’t care if he eats oysters or not, but he loves being praised by the boss!
Zuandi Puji quickly prepared the stewed oysters with mushrooms, and served it with a cup of mushroom juice, which was Ming's dinner.
Ming held the scalding hot tea and sat down next to Marshal Puji.
Ming, who was born with mycelium, has a natural affinity for Puji.
In fact, he felt close to everyone he met.
Everyone around him, whether they were mushroom descendants or captives, had mycelium on their bodies, but Puji just made him feel closer.
Even the green uncle who stayed on the pole all day and yelled was just a little noisy in his eyes, not annoying.
In fact, according to convention, Ming should have been strictly protected during his childhood, but Ming possessed the outrageous innate characteristic of [Physical Immunity], so there was no need to be so cautious.
Unfortunately, Lin Jun himself cannot obtain this powerful [Physical Immunity] characteristic.
【Greed】cannot extract the skills given by Lin Jun himself.
Ming's [Physical Immunity] was finally created by Lin Jun first giving him [Physical Resistance LV10], and then through the "Cradle" rebirth ceremony, he seized and integrated another [Physical Resistance LV10] from the sacrifice Galen.
Also, because this is a special skill created through the "Cradle" newborn ceremony, every mushroom descendant has the opportunity to obtain it only when they are born.
This means that if a suitable sacrifice is found in the future, Lin Jun may be able to cultivate mushroom descendants with [magic immunity] or other amazing characteristics, but he will not be able to concentrate all these powerful skills in the same individual.
It's a bit regrettable.
Otherwise, the army of Puji who are immune to physical attacks...will soon dominate the world!
In fact, even such physically immune mushrooms cannot be mass-produced. After all, where can we find so many guys like Gallon with full-level resistance for sacrifice?
It’s not that there isn’t…
We saw several of them on the battlefield of Scarlet Spire that day, but unfortunately they were all wild and there was no chance to capture them.
Therefore, not all mushroom people can have such a unique advantage as Ming.
This time, Xinghuo presided over several new birth ceremonies in succession and successfully welcomed more than ten new members of the tribe.
However, not all of these newly born mushroom creatures are as gifted as Ming, who is born with special skills without any level.
Most of the resistances they obtained were mediocre basic resistances such as [Physical Resistance LV10], [Cold Resistance LV8], and [Magic Resistance LV8].
Giving basic skills to these blank newborns would not consume much of Lin Jun's magic power.
The real problem is that it will take a long time for them to grow up and develop considerable combat effectiveness.
Except for the special ones, all the new mushroom offspring are placed in a safe mushroom garden and carefully cared for by Xinghuo.
And in the far north, is the location of the original demon tribe.
This place was first transformed into a fortress, and then completely destroyed in a self-explosion.
Now the captives and demons are working with Puji to build a new residence here.
At present, the half-demons, lizardmen, etc. are still prisoners, and it is understandable that they are squeezed into the wooden house with dormitories.
However, if he regains his freedom in the future and continues to maintain such simple living conditions, it will probably be difficult to retain people's hearts.
Lin Jun has never advocated terror rule, so improving living environment and quality was naturally put on the agenda.
The initial plan was to build a city that could accommodate about 10,000 people.
After all, the fungal mat in the far north continued to spread, gradually reaching the surrounding areas of other tribes.
In accordance with his usual strategy, Lin Jun intends to gradually infiltrate and assimilate these areas.
In the future, there will definitely be more people here, so naturally we have to vacate some space in advance.
Originally, Lin Jun wanted to build an underground city.
The Pujis can exert their greatest combat effectiveness in narrow, closed, and complex underground environments.
The defense of an underground city will be several times that of an ordinary city.
However, when the underground network turns into an underground city, thorny problems arise.
Severe water seepage, unpredictable local collapse, and troublesome poor ventilation...
Even if Lin Jun tried to strengthen the support, reinforce the rock wall, and dig more ventilation holes, it was useless.
A layman is always a layman, and it is natural that he cannot do civil engineering!
It seems that only dwarves and ratmen on the continent have experience in this area, but unfortunately Lin Jun has not had much contact with either of them.
We can only settle for the second best and build an ordinary residential area first.
