Chapter 7 7. Ah? Artifact?
Faced with the flying fire flies, Lin Jun, who had been their neighbor for a long time, was not panicked at all.
It wasn't until they flew within 50 meters that a few slimy puffs sprayed out digestive mucus to pour down all the unsuspecting fire mosquitoes.
The fireflies that fell to the ground wanted to shake off the mucus on their bodies and take off again, but as the mist spewed out by the hallucinogenic Puji enveloped them, these guys completely lost their ability to resist and were smashed to death one by one by the hallucinogenic Puji's shell.
But it's not over yet. More fire mosquitoes swarmed in, and Lin Jun and the fire mosquitoes started a crazy meat-mincing battle at the entrance of the passage.
Faced with fire mosquitoes that were several times larger than his own number, even if the hallucinogenic spores blocked the space below and restricted the attack direction of the fire mosquitoes, Lin Jun could not rely on mucus to intercept all the enemies.
From time to time, a fire mosquito would break through the fire net, stab down with its mosquito mouth and pierce a Puji, and then it would be paralyzed by the hallucinogenic spores on the ground.
"Ice blade! Ice blade! Water snake technique!"
There's good news for Inanna too - she finally killed some Fireflies!
The overwhelming fire mosquitoes can hit you even if you attack with your eyes closed. Now the fire mosquitoes' dodge skill is almost useless in this scenario.
The first time she cast a spell and killed a monster in a real battle made her laugh with excitement. Compared to this, the hunting games she had participated in before were not really battles.
But the excitement ended there. A mosquito that broke through the fire net nailed a turret next to Inanna to the ground with its mouth, scaring her so much that she trembled instantly.
If the fire mosquito had just rushed towards me...
"Lin Jun! What should we do now? So many people died!"
Only a dozen or so Puji died. That’s just the beginning.
A guy, whose real body was still hiding deep in the mushroom garden, lamented in his heart the poor psychological quality of the new recruits.
However, Lin Jun still gave his own suggestions:
"Stop using offensive magic, use illumination magic."
Lighting?
What good is this?
Inanna couldn't figure it out, but she remembered that she had promised to follow orders, so she used the illumination spell. After all, the spell cost very little.
To Inanna's surprise, as soon as the illumination magic came out, the swarm of fire mosquitoes immediately became chaotic.
The fire mosquitoes in the front row began to run around like headless flies. Some of them bumped into other fire mosquitoes behind them, and some simply dived into the hallucinogenic fog below.
Inanna was stunned by what she saw.
"It really works!" Lin Jun was also surprised.
"Eh? Didn't you know it would be useful?"
"I didn't expect the effect to be so good...it's almost out, keep playing!"
"good!"
The deep area is always dark or has only dim light. Seeing that the fire mosquito has eyes, Lin Jun wanted to try the flash bomb tactic, but he didn't expect it to be so effective.
At this time, the superiority of mushrooms in observing things without relying on their eyes is reflected.
With the help of the lighting technique, the Fire Mosquitoes, which were no match to the opponent in the first place, became even weaker and fell down in batches.
When the number of fire mosquitoes could no longer surround the entrance of the passage, these almost brainless monsters finally seemed to remember the taste of fear, fled and disappeared into other passages.
Leaving behind empty firefly caves and hot pools filled with larvae.
"Finally... it's over."
Inanna sat down.
Even though she had the advantage all along, after casting several attack spells in succession and then using more than twenty illumination spells in one breath, Inanna felt really exhausted and had very little magic power left.
Although she was physically tired, Inanna was still excited as it was her first time to personally participate in such a "big scene".
"Lin Jun, what are you going to do next?"
"Next? Next, of course, is to reap the spoils!"
The 20 cows and horses that had been at the end of the team and had not participated in the battle began their work - using their tentacles to pack the bodies of the fire mosquitoes into their bodies.
The number is about the same as expected. It will be enough for the cows, horses and Puji to run two times. After Lin Jun decomposes these fire mosquitoes, the high temperature resistance should be upgraded to another level.
As for this fire mosquito cave, Lin Jun did not consider expanding the mushroom garden here.
This cave has too many connecting passages, extending in all directions, and it is impossible to defend it.
The mushroom garden is a piece of land that Lin Jun carefully selected. It has only four passages on one side, making it particularly suitable for development.
As for the white firefly larvae in the pool, Lin Jun had the turrets blast all the remaining magic power at the pool, and they turned into debris floating on the water.
“These are the spoils of war, right?”
Looking at the mosquito corpses being transported, Inanna always felt that they were a little different from the spoils she had imagined.
"What else, Miss Duke? What kind of spoils do you want to get from defeating these monsters?"
Could it be possible that swords and gold coins would burst out of their stomachs if we opened them?
"No, but who knows, there might be something good in that pool."
"A pool of water?"
The pool of water where the minced meat was floating was still emitting white steam, but what was heating it?
Underground magma?
No, the place where the Fire Demon lives is not close to here, and the surrounding environment is not hot at all.
Lin Jun felt that there was probably something inside that could generate heat continuously.
But now comes the problem -
He can't water.
Although the puffballs will not melt when in contact with water, they will just float on the water surface and be unable to move after being soaked in water.
These firefly larvae do have the [Underwater Adaptation] skill, but they need to be transported back and decomposed, and then Puji can create a new species to obtain the skill.
While Lin Jun was still thinking about a solution, Inanna had already dived into the pool to look for treasure.
Lin Jun then remembered that she had level 6 underwater adaptation.
The second generation is awesome...
"Lin Jun! Look what I found!"
Inanna climbed out of the pool, and the water snake magic behind her wrapped a piece of orange-glowing debris, which continuously emitted heat and evaporated the surrounding water.
The hydra could not hold it for long, and Inanna dropped the fragments on the ground beside the pool.
"Do you know what this is?"
Lin Jun didn’t know it at first, but this thing actually has a panel?
You know, Lin Jun has never seen a panel on a dead object until now!
[Artifact: Sunstone (Fragment)]
???
What the hell, a LV20 mosquito can drop a magic weapon when fighting in a group. Is the drop from this monster not designed well?
There is no introduction other than the name. Is it because it is just a fragment?
In short, it’s a good idea to collect it and study it.
"Lin Jun?"
"Uh, how would I know? But it looks like it could be useful. I can take it back to keep the mushrooms warm."
A bull-horse wrapped the fragments into a big ball with mud and took it away. Inanna didn't have any objection. She was working here for the A-grade magic crystal. Naturally, the spoils belonged to Lin Jun. She was just curious.
Lin Jun and Inanna were happily on the expedition here, while another group of people on the surface were having a headache because of Inanna.
