Chapter 48 48. Infiltration
The base of the staircase connecting the six floors.
Several large cows and horses were busy with their mycelium tentacles, packing up the last bit of the monster's corpse.
After this busy trip, all the results of the Pujis' battle during the Demonic Tide will be moved back to the Mushroom Garden.
Thanks to the huge amount of fertilizer and sufficient magic power, in just over a week, a field of mushrooms of all sizes had begun to take shape.
In about another week, it could even become more prosperous than before the demon tide.
Even Lin Jun himself had to admire the growth rate of the mushroom clan.
Of course, this excludes Lake Venom.
The pollution of Venom Lake is even worse than before.
At first, only the area around the lake became a dead zone, but now it has expanded to within 500 meters.
Lin Jun felt a little regretful that he didn't take a closer look at the skills of the three-headed snake.
What kind of poison is so vicious?
Fortunately, the spreading trend has finally stopped in the past two days, but I don’t know how long it will take to restore the normal ecology.
As for the Miraj in the lake——
A two-meter-tall giant bulldog with a belly full of picked mushrooms.
Enter the poison circle and walk towards the lake step by step.
The reason why he took one step at a time was that with every step, a layer of venom would corrode the ground where Puji's feet touched.
This one was so big that when it reached the lake, there was barely enough space left on its legs.
Then, the whole mushroom rolled down the slope and rolled into the lake with a belly full of mushrooms.
The Mirajis that had been waiting in the lake swarmed in and started their two-day feast.
Lin Jun finally decided to raise them. After all, there was nothing else he could do with the lake except raise them.
These guys are not very aggressive. At most they can spit out some venom. They only move around in the lake and won't run around.
And because they live in the Venom Lake, even if adventurers pass by later, it will be difficult to attack them.
And the purpose of raising them is naturally to harvest.
The average level of Miraji is only around ten, and they are small in size, so the magic power and experience they can provide are negligible.
The only valuable things are underwater adaptation and scales, especially this scale.
After decomposing a large number of dragon beasts with scale armor skills, Lin Jun naturally obtained this skill.
Then I found that this thing is really more convenient than the shell that Lin Jun is using now!
Compared to the outer shell, the scale armor has a strong defensive capability while being lighter and more flexible.
Now we have these Mirajis as a stable source of acquisition.
I guess in the future I’ll just be digging for Puji and using the shell to knock rocks.
While the mushroom garden is thriving, Lin Jun is also eyeing other classes.
I don't know why, but even though it's been so long since the Demon Tide, human adventurers haven't resumed their activities yet.
But it’s not a bad thing for Lin Jun now.
Taking advantage of this period of time, Lin Jun sent out a lot of Puji.
There is nothing else to do. Just scatter some spores in the corners of the first four floors, or in places that are difficult to be touched by monsters, to generate a few mushrooms for peripheral surveillance.
Although it is impossible to generate images when there are too few mycelium in one place, we can only sense the fluctuations of magic power.
But these small dots can also serve as transit stations connecting the large fungal mats outside back to the fifth floor.
As for why we need to set up a large fungal mat outside?
Of course Lin Jun couldn't bear to see the corpses of monsters from other levels being wasted!
At that time, Lin Jun will decompose the corpse and gain magic power and skills.
By regenerating some mushrooms and adding them into the social ecological cycle as food, everyone can have a bright future.
Unfortunately, the mushroom garden has been in a state of disrepair recently, and there are not enough Pujis.
You can only go to the upper level where the danger level is not high first.
As for the lower level?
If there are not enough Puji Pies, they will be eaten up by local monsters before completing the mission.

At the entrance of the dungeon, two guards in charge of guarding the gate were sitting by the fire.
The bonfire swayed slightly in the night breeze. Aiden reached his iron sword into the fire and poked it twice. A few sparks splashed on his chain mail.
"It's so cold. I really want to go back and have a bowl of meat soup right now." The new guy next to him rubbed his shoulders and complained, "Senior, what's the point of the guild letting us guard here? Can we stop those adventurers if they want to go down?"
Aiden glanced at him, took off the leather bag of wine from his waist, drank a sip himself, and then handed it to the newcomer.
"You are nosy, kid. It doesn't matter where you stand guard. Why do you think you can have meat soup if you stand guard in the town now?"
The newcomer took the bag and gulped down two mouthfuls.
The alcohol flowed into his stomach, instantly warming him up a lot.
"How come they are the same? Senior, look at that," the newcomer pointed at a dark red mark on a stone, "I heard that a lot of people died here that day. Maybe a vengeful spirit will be born!"
Aiden just looked at the newcomer like this until he felt a little embarrassed, then he burst into laughter.
"Listen less to the bard's stories. What about vengeful spirits? If a few deaths can really give rise to vengeance, the dungeon should have been filled with vengeful spirits after so many years!"
"I...I just said it casually, I didn't really think so..."
sough--
The two stopped communicating at the same time and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
Aiden even put a whistle to his lips.
A newcomer's slightly timid voice came from the side: "It can't be a vengeful spirit..."
"What are you thinking about!"
Aiden took out a simple torch, took the fire from the campfire, and slowly walked to the tree where the sound came from.
After Tiejian struck back and forth in the bushes and haystacks several times, he found nothing.
Aiden then returned to the campfire and laughed at the newcomer:
"What kind of little animal is this? Look how scared you are. You won't get anywhere with this little courage."
The newcomer, who was indeed scared just now, could only sit down angrily, muttering to himself, "I didn't react" and "I was just drunk".
Neither of them noticed that two rows of shallow footprints had appeared behind them at some point, extending all the way into the underground city.
——
The first floor of the dungeon.
The light near the stone wall blurred, revealing two young men squatting against the wall.
"Scared, scared, scared... I was so scared!" The young man in the robe was shaking non-stop. "Gray, you don't know, that sword was just a little bit away from hitting me! It was really just a little bit away!"
Gray, dressed as a warrior, looked at his partner and friend, Calvin, speechlessly.
"It was you who insisted on getting close to listen to what they were saying, and ended up getting scared by some evil spirit...
Aren't you a wizard? You study those magical materials that are weirder than the last every day. How can you be afraid of evil spirits?"
Speaking of vengeful spirits, Calvin, who had calmed down, started shaking again: "You...what do you know! I've only seen them when I was with my teacher, so I'm afraid of them! If you met them, you would be afraid too!"
"Yes, yes," Gray said, not wanting to respond. "You're so scared now, do we still want to go down? How about you cast an invisibility spell and let's go back?"
Calvin heard this and grabbed Gray's arm:
“How can that be?
How can I brew the truth potion without getting the parasitic tree seeds?
How can I hand in my homework if I can’t make the medicine?
If I fail to hand in my homework again this time, the teacher will definitely punish me by making me the target of a spell cast by that duke lady with a special fetish, and then watching me being turned into a puff!
Gray, you must help me this time. Don’t forget that I made you a laxative last time you were constipated!"
"That time, I just had a stomachache for the whole day, so that counts as helping me?"
"Just tell me whether it works or not!"
