Chapter 46 46. Congenital Deficiency
The cross section of the tentacle mushroom cannon slowly squirmed, and the end had now rewoven into a complete conical structure.
The knight's six mycelium tentacles have basically returned to their original state under the effect of [Mycelium Reorganization LV2].
It's just a little lighter in color compared to other parts.
On the contrary, the claw marks on the shell are still clearly visible.
The shell is a product of skill and cannot be reassembled. It can only be replaced with a new one to generate a new shell.
The demonic tide outside was finally coming to an end, and the monsters began to return to their own levels, and the dragon beasts also drilled back into the cracks one by one.
The monsters also returned to their previous state of attacking each other.
Lin Jun saw that a split-toothed beast suddenly grabbed the tail fin of a small dragon beast before leaving, and carried the struggling prey into the stairs.
Some monsters that get lost and wander around on the fifth floor and can't find their way back will have an additional negative effect once they exceed LV25.
[Fixed state: Soul siphon (gradually loses attributes and skill proficiency)]
Obviously, this is the means by which the dungeon restored the original order between classes after the demon tide.
If you can't go back, you'll probably be sucked dry in the end.
But... the soul was sucked away...
Just thinking about it made Lin Jun shudder.
Fortunately, Lin Jun himself didn't have it.
Not only Lin Jun didn't have it, the dragon man didn't have it either.
This is consistent with Lin Jun's guess—neither he nor the dragon man are part of the demonic tide.
Needless to say, Lin Jun himself was never truly accepted by the Underground City family.
The dragon people can tell something from her behavior patterns.
During the monster tide of harmony, it will attack other monsters to protect its food. Unlike other monsters, it does not rush out of the dungeon, but instead searches the fifth floor for Lin Jun's Puji to eat.
Lin Jun himself is special because he has the title of a hero.
As for the dragon people?
Maybe it’s the identity of the descendant of the ancient dragon.
Speaking of dragon people...
"I'm hungry..."
The landslide left less than 20 square meters of the cave.
The dragon man squatted in the corner with his paws on his knees, his eyes fixed on the batteries on the other side, almost drooling.
well--
A battery puffed across the gravel in the middle and walked "puff" to the dragon man.
She hugged Puji and rubbed her cheek against him affectionately. Puji was soon cut by the scales on the dragon man's face.
Just like Dylan, after being parasitized, the dragon man also developed a sense of closeness to the Pujis.
At least he didn't fight to the death with Lin Jun's knights as soon as he woke up. Instead, he was willing to listen to him.
Of course, you still have to eat Puji...
The battery Puji, which had only 10 health points, was scratched to death by the scales, and was soon nibbled along the edge of its mushroom cap by the dragon man who had had enough of its intimacy.
This dragon man is not very smart.
After connecting to the Jun.net and having a brief conversation, Lin Jun discovered that her IQ was about the same as that of a child.
This IQ is consistent with her performance in the fifth level.
But logically speaking, one of the parents is a human and the other is an ancient dragon, neither of them has low IQs, so it doesn't make sense for them to be so stupid when it comes to her.
Like the half-dragons we’ve seen before, their intelligence seems to be no different from that of ordinary people.
The answer is still on the dragon man's panel:
[Fixed status: Congenital deficiency. Intelligence (Intelligence attribute reduced by 80%)]
Although the intelligence attribute is related to spellcasting ability, it is not equivalent to IQ.
But this is all congenital deficiency. I guess he is born mentally retarded, which is reflected in his attributes, that is, low intelligence attribute.
In addition, she had more than one congenital deficiency.
[Fixed status: congenital deficiency. Magical power loss (the magic power in the body will naturally decrease over time)]
Lin Jun even suspected that she had offended God in her previous life.
Magic is the foundation of most skills.
Needless to say, magic is a very important skill. Many other skills that do not seem to be magic, such as [Assault Catapult], actually consume magic power as well, but the amount consumed is very small.
When the magic power is exhausted, not only can the skills be unusable, but also a feeling of dizziness and nausea will occur, and even coma may occur.
Lin Jun has a lot to say about this. When he first came to this world, he knew nothing and fell into many traps.
So, no wonder she doesn't eat hallucinogenic food.
All the Puji she ate had the [Magic Storage] skill.
The act of eating Puji should be to replenish her own magic power.
Just like now, the dragon man was eating the Puji in his arms, and from the panel that Lin Jun saw, one third of her magic power was slowly replenishing.
Of course, the good taste of Puji is probably one of the reasons.
After all, [Magic Storage] is not a skill unique to him.
After stuffing Puji's last short leg into his mouth, the dragon man licked his lips with satisfaction.
"Are you full?" Lin Jun asked.
Hearing this, the dragon man's golden pupils slightly shifted, and his gaze shifted from the remaining battery puffs to the knight.
In her perception, Knight Puji was the guy who was talking to her - a delicious but very strong guy.
“I want more!”
Lin Jun glanced at the panel.
My magic power is fully replenished and I still want to eat!
"Come and help me first, and then I'll let you eat, okay?"
Looking back at the remaining three batteries, the dragon man nodded vigorously.
What Lin Jun wanted her to do was nothing else but to dig it out the same way she had dug it in.
Their previous fight caused most of the cave to collapse, and the few Pujis responsible for digging the cave were unfortunately crushed to death.
The knight does have the skill of digging holes, but his efficiency is not as good as that of the dragon man's claws.
That's [Sharpness LV9]!
But the fact is, Lin Jun was a little off track.
Lin Jun thought she relied on her sharp claws to dig the hole, but in fact the claws only played the role of breaking stones, and the rest was the result of her physical fitness squeezing through!
After she squeezed through, the gravel and soil closed together again, making it not suitable for her to drill with the Pujis.
The knight had to follow closely behind her, and was kicked several times by her unintentionally before he could barely squeeze in.
This is thanks to the hard shell.
As for the three batteries without shells, poof… I couldn’t keep up from the beginning…
So, when the dragon man came to ask for Puji with anticipation, Lin Jun was already sweating profusely...
Lin Jun was really afraid that she would have a disagreement and plan to eat the knight again.
It’s not that she’s worried about being eaten. When the danger is really severe, she will complete the last step of parasitism and become a puppet.
But what then?
Becoming a puppet is considered brain death, right? Will it trigger the mark of revenge?
Lin Jun didn't know and didn't want to gamble at all.
Therefore, we still have to fool this idiot who only cares about eating.
"Ah... over there," the knight pointed a tentacle towards the forest, "the food is over there, you can get it when you go over there."
At the same time, Lin Jun hurriedly searched for a small piece of relatively intact fungal carpet in the forest, right next to the ruins of Dylan's cabin. This was one of the few fungal carpets that survived the trampling of demons.
On the fungal mat, speed up to the fullest and ripen the two batteries!
The fifth floor is not safe yet, and many monsters are still wandering around looking for a way back.
However, since there was a dragon man following Lin Jun, they either ignored him or simply walked around him.
Of course, there are also people who don’t have good brains.
Lin Jun sincerely thanked them for buying herself a little more time.
…
Next to the ruins of Dylan's cabin.
The dragon man couldn't wait to pick up Puji, who was not yet full of magic power, and started eating him - she was hungry again after exercising just now.
After a while, the dragon man's question came from the fungus network:
"This one...is not very tasty..."
