Chapter 448, Section 447: You Will Die
As Inanna swayed and danced stiffly like an ancient shaman, poops emerged from the fungal carpet beneath her feet at incredible speed.
The mature Pojis would detach themselves from the fungal carpet that had nurtured them and begin to wander aimlessly in the valley in their new environment. Most of the original Northern soldiers simply watched this unprecedented sight with astonishment, whispering among themselves.
But the Puji masters were almost dumbfounded!
As "professionals," how could they not know how long the cycle of a Puji's birth is? Even if they used corpse fertilizer fields to accelerate it, it would be impossible to reach such a speed!
While everyone else was still in a daze, the adjutant was the first to come to his senses.
He was delighted and began to organize people to guide the newborn Puji, trying to establish a spiritual connection with them and bring them under the command of Puji Masters.
Alama, who witnessed all of this, was left with only one huge question mark swirling in his mind: Is this reasonable?!
“Perhaps… it’s a technique similar to nature magic?” Lorenzo rubbed his chin, trying to find a plausible explanation from his knowledge base.
But the two exchanged a glance, both still somewhat worried.
As dukes, they naturally knew some of the speculations about Puji, but faced with the pressure from the demons, they ignored these potential threats.
The two exchanged a glance. However, allowing Inanna to keep a few Puji as pets in the safe Duke's mansion was a completely different matter from the "birth-inducing ritual" that was clearly strange and seemed to be closely connected with some unknown force.
Alama grabbed Inanna's adjutant and, in a low voice, pressed him for an explanation. The adjutant, however, looked completely bewildered and innocent.
"Perhaps... it's Miss Inanna's undiscovered 'talent'?" The adjutant scratched his head, guessing uncertainly.
"Talent?" Alama's brow furrowed even more.
“Before we came, we also didn’t know that Miss Inanna could command storm elementals!” The adjutant tried to make his statement more convincing. “These… these might be talents that Miss Inanna hadn’t had the chance to show before.”
The adjutant felt that compared to ordering thousands of Storm Elementals, speeding up the production of Puji a little didn't seem too unreasonable.
But after he finished speaking, Alama felt even more overwhelmed: "Wait! You mean, those storm elementals outside weren't lured in by your scheme, but were brought by Inanna?"
When they discovered the situation outside the valley, the battle had already begun. They had always assumed that the reinforcements had used some clever trick to divert the disaster in that area to the demons. Turns out, it was all their daughter's doing again?!
He turned to look at Lorenzo: "Can the favor of elemental spirits really go this far?"
Lorenzo thought for a moment, then shook his head.
This skill has been recorded in history, but it doesn't seem to have been said that it could be done to this extent.
The adjutant, unaware of any elemental spirit's favor, boldly voiced his opinion: "My lord, forgive my bluntness! I believe this is all due to Miss Inanna's talent. She was simply... overprotected before, without a stage to showcase her abilities. She is truly a genius capable of bringing victory!"
Looking at the adjutant in front of him, who was getting more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes shining, Alama opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what words to use to describe his complicated feelings at this moment.
Lorenzo, as an observer, saw things more clearly. He patted his old friend's tense shoulder and comforted him, "Alright, Alama, it's not a bad thing. At least it increases our fighting strength for now. I think this young man has a point. You really did keep your niece too well-protected before, keeping her locked up in the Duke's mansion all day. Look at my two rascals at home, I've already sent them out to train them."
Alama: ...
...
Lin Jun had actually been quite restrained.
The current continuous production is merely cannon fodder Puji distributed to the Puji Masters to replenish their battle losses.
If he really let go of his inhibitions, he could make them pop out in droves, like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.
In order not to frighten these unsophisticated creatures in the valley, he deliberately reduced production efficiency and slowed down the pace of birth.
We can only hope that the fans will have to keep jumping around for a while.
Moreover, what Lin Jun did behind the scenes went far beyond simply supplementing Puji.
Thanks to the accurate intelligence provided by Agent Xiao Xi, he knew that the demon army, which had just experienced a fierce battle, needed to rest, but Dragon Roar Valley only had one day left.
Sigismund will launch another attack tomorrow night. Given the current defensive capabilities within the valley, it will likely be a difficult and fierce battle, and it's uncertain whether we can hold out.
Therefore, while everyone's attention was drawn to Inanna's peculiar dance and the newborn poop, Lin Jun was fully focused on driving the mycelium to spread underground and on the cliff.
It might not take enough time to cover the entire valley, but covering only the ground and the rock walls on both sides of the pass would be a piece of cake for him.
Thus, as everyone watched their pink-haired commander tirelessly bouncing around, the fungal carpet visibly devoured the valley entrance's soil and stone walls...
...
Three moons of different colors hung high in the night sky, their cool light shining on the armor of the newly reorganized demon army, causing it to gleam with a chilling light. After a day of rest, the army had regained its fighting spirit and was ready to launch a final assault on Dragonroar Valley at the command of the emperor.
In the tense atmosphere before the battle, Sigismund stood at the front of the battle line and, unusually, took the initiative to talk to his roommate in his mind: "Speaking of which, you must have been a Puji Master before, right?"
Unexpectedly, my roommate's reply carried an unprecedented, chilling aura, as if seeping from the cracks of an abyss: "You... want to investigate my origins?"
Sigismund paused briefly: "It's just that seeing those splattering sounds on the battlefield yesterday inevitably brought up some associations."
“Xiao Xi, listen to my advice,” her roommate’s tone returned to its usual softer tone, “My identity is a super, super big secret, and anyone who finds out will not have a good ending. You just need to know that now we share this body, we are already in the same boat. Although we have some minor conflicts from time to time, in the end, I am on your side.”
“A huge secret…” Sigismund resisted the urge to roll his eyes. In his opinion, his roommate was still afraid that he would use his previous connections to manipulate him after discovering his identity. “What if I insist on investigating?”
"You will die." There was no anger, no threat in the tone; just three simple words, yet Sigismund clearly sensed that his roommate was serious.
"Even if we all perish together?" he asked tentatively.
The voice in my mind fell completely silent, offering no further response.
"I understand."
After a brief internal communication, Sigismund raised his arm and shouted, "All troops, listen to my command—advance into the valley!"
More than ten minutes later, Sigismund, who was leading the vanguard, witnessed a bizarre scene.
The valley entrance, which should have been filled with boulders and fortifications, was now completely covered by a carpet of fungi. On this carpet, clusters of fluorescent mushrooms grew like weeds, emitting a hazy, multicolored glow that intertwined and illuminated the entire valley entrance as if it were a dreamlike realm.
The sight before him almost made Sigismund order a retreat to check if he had taken the wrong turn, but Dragonroar Valley clearly did not have any forks in the road.
It wasn't like this just a day ago!
