Chapter 410 409. Breakfast at the Door
In the far north, in Mycelium Bomb Castle, in a tunnel that is being excavated.
The dwarves Thorin, Glum and the lizardman Baroque stood side by side in front of a big, white, fat ass.
The fat guy Puji's whole body was stuck in the hole, with only two fat and short legs exposed in front of the three people.
"Prepare!"
Following Glenn's call, the three men put their shoulders against Puji's butt.
"One, two... push!"
Accompanied by the "buzzing" sound of rocks being crushed, the three of them pushed forward five meters in one breath. The lizardman Baroque was the first to lose strength and fell to the ground before he stopped.
Puji still looks like it's stuck in the hole, but in fact, this is a fat otaku version of Puji that digs the entire passage.
The main reason for building such a large tunnel is to be able to transfer residents of the city underground when there is danger.
Tolin and his team alone know of more than ten similar channels, and the actual total number is likely to be even greater.
The only problem is that ordinary burrowing Puji can dig holes and move forward by kicking the rock walls on both sides with its short legs, but this situation changes when it is magnified to the fat house Puji.
Although his short legs could still barely touch the rock walls on both sides, the little thrust provided by kicking the rock walls suddenly seemed insignificant in the face of his overweight body.
Simply put, a fat guy cannot move forward underground just by burrowing into the ground and pushing himself.
Therefore, we can only return to primitive times and choose to use human power.
Of course, it's primitive, but in reality you just need to keep pushing the Puji forward and occasionally check if the direction has deviated. It's countless times faster than digging with a pickaxe.
They all volunteered to take on this job. Although it was tiring, the contribution points earned were calculated based on the distance advanced. The dwarves' strong physique made this the job that Thorin and Glenn could earn the most contribution points from.
As for Baroque, he was a friend they made unexpectedly during this period.
Everyone was often assigned to work together, and they became familiar with each other after a while. Before this, Thorin and Glenn would never have imagined that they would have demon friends in the future.
Pushing the fat guy into the ground is a standard three-person task, so I'll just bring him along to earn some contribution points.
Baroque was very grateful for this and worked very hard.
However, due to the gap in strength attributes between the races, his role can only be regarded as half a dwarf.
Moreover, although the high temperature generated by the drilling is mainly concentrated in the head area, the tunnel is still very stuffy.
Only dwarves can endure working in this environment for a long time.
Leaning against the still warm rock wall, Baroque took the initiative to prepare breakfast for the two dwarves.
After a mushroom descendant finished recording the progress and handed over to another group of people, the three of them climbed out of the tunnel.
It was just before dawn when the moon was about to set but the sun had not yet risen.
There are many food supply points in the Mycelium Fort, but the most popular one among the prisoners at dawn is the canteen near the gate.
When the three of them arrived, the place was almost full.
It’s not because the food here is so delicious, but because there is singing here that you can’t hear in other cafeterias.
The three of them sat down, each with a plate of fried fatty pork with mushrooms and delicious mushroom sauce, but they did not rush to eat. Instead, they raised their wooden cups and waited like everyone else.
“Aa ...
As the moon completely set and the sun rose from the east, a long-lasting scream rang out from outside the city gate. It was uttered by a green-skinned vampire who was forced to train his resistance to sunlight every day.
"Cheers to those blood-sucking bastards of the Empire! Hahahaha!"
The common language, demon language and the sounds from the mycelial network mixed together, and everyone started breakfast with laughter.
Nowadays, most of the labor captives in the city are northern tribesmen and redeemed captives of various ethnic groups. Everyone has their own different positions, and there may be some contempt and conflicts between them.
But there is no doubt that everyone hates the Empire.
The screams of an imperial vampire with a title are undoubtedly the best side dish for meals, and the screams of vampires who have rested for a night are the most powerful at dawn, so the breakfast here is so attractive.
"I wonder what's happening with the Golden Flame Castle." Thorin said suddenly.
Glenn finished his mushroom juice. "What else can I do? It's just a huge loss. Look at the damage it's done. I don't think we'll be able to recover production in six months."
The two were unaware of the news that Golden Flame Castle had fallen. Far North could not receive any information from there, and their conversation was based on the premise that Golden Flame Castle had regained control of the Elemental Dungeon.
"I really want to redeem myself quickly..." Tolin murmured.
"It's almost there. Based on the current progress, we'll be able to collect enough contribution points in about four months."
Some time ago, the former half-demon leader collected enough contribution points and became the first captive to redeem himself.
However, he did not choose to leave, but instead chose a good house near the city center and stayed there.
Someone successfully redeemed himself, which obviously affected others. Recently, everyone's work efficiency has increased by two points.
Most of them, like the former half-demon leader, wanted to stay.
After all, I don’t know where to go if I leave. I heard that the Empire is still at war with the United Kingdom, so it seems much safer to stay in the Far North.
Only a few people, like Thorin and Glenn, want to go back.
Suddenly, the lizardman Baroque put down the mushroom juice he had not finished drinking and stood up abruptly.
Not only him, many half-demons and lizardmen in the cafeteria put down the food in their mouths, stood up and ran out.
"What happened?" Thorin asked quickly.
"I don't know, but the commander has issued an order for an emergency assembly!" Baroque said and rushed out.
…
Mushroom Garden No. 3.
Looking at Xiao Hei, who was lying half-faced outside the mushroom house, with his tongue sticking out, saliva all over the floor, and snoring all the time, Lin Jun was speechless.
A Puji came forward and kicked twice, but there was no reaction at all.
This is not because Lin Jun used hallucinogenic spores again, but because of the new skill.
After the Pigman Leader was moved to Jingu City and disassembled, Lin Jun obtained the [Bloodline Enhancement LV2].
The half-demon leader actually also has this skill, but he is one of us now, so we can't just kill him for a new skill, right?
After acquiring the skill, Lin Jun first tried it with Puji, and was able to shake out more spores...
It's just useless!
However, this is obviously caused by the fact that Puji has no bloodline.
There are quite a few suitable people among my own men, mainly the half-demons.
But after all, when it comes to bloodline, who can be more valuable than Xiao Hei's ancient dragon bloodline?
However, after spending a lot of magic power to install Xiao Hei, she became like this the first time she was used, and could not be woken up no matter how hard I tried.
Could it be that I ruined it myself?
Just when Lin Jun was considering whether to use [Spiritual Guidance] to check Xiao Hei's mental state in her dream, something happened that Lin Jun had to deal with first - the tribes that he was monitoring began to gather troops!
After syncing the image with the pig, she decisively issued an assembly order through the fungus network.
If you look down at the entire Mycelium Castle at this time, you will see the vast ocean gathering from all over the city and rushing towards the gathering point outside the city.
