Chapter 89 87. Breath of the Same Kind
Five-story cave.
The various mine tunnels that were originally blown down by Lin Jun in the demonic tide have now almost all been dug through, and even several more passages have been widened than before.
This is all thanks to the fifty or so digging Poojis who have been working here, as well as some humans who have figured out the rules of the mine.
The sound of clanging echoed in the mine.
Norris came out from the depths with a pickaxe in his hand and a basket of stones mixed with magic crystals on his back.
They encountered a lot of digging pukes along the way, and there were some magic crystals scattered under their feet, but Norris didn't pick them up.
One of the rules of the mine is not to steal the fruits of the labor of the Pujis. Norris has seen many guys with dirty hands and feet. The better ones had the better outcomes of being stripped naked, while the worse ones probably became part of the fifth floor.
He was also aware of the big black mushroom incident that was causing a lot of controversy outside, but he was not worried about it.
He had encountered the big black mushroom twice, and each time he dealt with it with just one glass bead. In his opinion, the annihilation of the golden team was most likely due to violating the rule prohibiting attacking Puji within the 5th floor, and they were beaten to death.
As long as he abided by the rules, the fifth floor was like heaven for a bronze-level adventurer like him.
There were no monsters that would jump out to attack him at any time, and he could earn a little more than the upper classes by digging magic crystals. The only thing he needed to do was to prepare the round-trip toll - two monster corpses.
But today the situation was a little different. When he finally walked out of the cave, he met a middle-aged man dressed as a noble.
Norris first subconsciously wanted to cover up the magic crystal ore on his back, but then gave up this action.
The way the other person is dressed, perhaps just a button on his clothes is worth more than everything on your body. What you need to be on guard against are those who are as poor as you.
However, why would such a big shot appear in the cave?
Norris didn’t know, but the other party’s eyes were always on him. Under the invisible pressure, he had to speak first: “First…Sir, is there anything wrong?”
Aidin looked at the young man in front of him curiously. He had just walked around the fifth floor and met such a living person.
Most adventurers were frightened by the big black mushroom incident.
"Why are you here alone?"
Norris looked at the pickaxe in his hand, then looked at Aidin...
Aidin also realized that he was wrong and asked again: "Aren't you afraid of encountering Hei Puji?"
"Don't worry, I brought glass beads."
Norris shook his head and revealed a small bag on his waist, which contained five glass beads of different colors.
"Have you ever met Black Puji?" Aidin seemed interested. "So the rumor among adventurers that Black Puji likes glass products is true?"
Norris nodded.
"That's really interesting. Can you sell me two beads? I'm willing to buy them with a gold coin. Of course, I can only give you the gold coin after you go up. I don't have any money with me now."
As he spoke, Aidin reached into his pocket to indicate that he had no money.
Norris handed over two glass beads without any emotion.
Not to mention the glass beads, this one was obviously a big shot, even if he asked to carry the results of the digging in the past two days on his back, he had no choice but to agree.
As for the reward of one gold coin?
Just listen to it.
After handing the glass beads to Aidin, Norris planned to leave.
He didn't dare to get too close to Aidin, so he stepped out of the mushroom path and onto the fungal carpet, but the next moment Aidin reached out and pulled him back.
Norris was a little confused.
Aidin just made way and said, "Just walk along the road and don't step outside."
Looking at Norris walking away, Aidin took out a scroll from his arms.
Mobilizing magic power to activate the scroll, a large amount of information appeared in front of Aidin.
[Race: Mushroom-Puff]
[Race: Mushroom-Puff]
[Race: Mushroom-Puff]
[Race: Mushroom-Puff]
…
really.
Although it was not the first time he had seen it since coming down, the sight of the Puffs with self-destruct skills all over the ground revealed by the reconnaissance scroll still made Aidin feel his scalp tingle.
There are seven or eight of them just around me, and I can't tell them apart with my eyes alone!
He felt that there was no need to even look for the big black mushroom. The situation on this ground was enough to explain why the golden team was completely wiped out.
With this number, he wouldn’t be surprised if the entire fifth floor disappeared one day!
Of course, we still have to find the big black mushrooms, otherwise we won’t be able to complete the task.
But the problem is that with so many scanning targets, each scan will consume spells, greatly reducing the effective range of the reconnaissance scroll.
I originally thought that I could find the big black mushroom with just 5 scrolls, but now it seems that I can’t do it. Maybe I will return empty-handed this time…
When Aidin thought so, a large black mushroom appeared in his sight.
He was strolling leisurely on the fungal carpet outside the mushroom road, and after seeing Aidin, he actually came over.
This did not surprise Aidin. The intelligence said that the big black mushroom liked shiny things. It would be strange if he was not attracted to it with such a gorgeous outfit.
However, Aidin still threw out a glass bead and observed the movements of the big black mushroom.
The big black mushroom seemed to be attracted by the glass beads. It ran to the fungal mat and picked up the glass beads with great effort.
Aidin threw the second glass bead with force, and the big black mushroom followed the direction the glass bead flew.
After doing all this, Aidin took out another scroll from his arms and waited quietly there.
When the big black mushroom approached him for the third time, Aidin activated the scroll in his hand: Wind Blade.
The wind blade flew out and directly cut off the cap of the big black mushroom.
The mushroom cap that fell to the ground turned into a pile of white mycelium, and a very ordinary-looking Puji emerged from the big black mushroom.
This scene seemed a little beyond Aidin's expectations, but before he could think about it, the mines around him popped out at the same time -
There was no resistance at all. After a series of explosions, Aidin disappeared without a trace, leaving only a broken magic crystal in its place.
Lin Jun, who had been directing the whole scene behind the scenes, was not surprised by the scene before him.
Lin Jun noticed this Aidin when he entered the dungeon.
It's not because of anything else, but because he has no panel.
Puppet? Illusion?
These are probably it, but it can’t be the real body anyway.
It’s so special, you can tell at a glance that it’s heading for the fifth floor.
Lin Jun used [Assimilation LV3] + [Mimicry LV4] to pinch a big black mushroom, and tried his best to make the big black mushroom look like some kind of monster that follows fixed rules in front of him.
Following the rules means being controllable, and being controllable means there is no need to eliminate it by force.
If this information can be conveyed, then this problem will be over.
However, Lin Jun smelled a trace of the same kind in this guy who had never revealed his true identity. He hoped that this temporary solution would not be found to have any flaws...
——
In a hotel room in Mute Wind Town.
Aidin slowly opened his eyes and looked at the magic crystal that was broken into two pieces in his hand with a playful expression.
Attacking the big black mushroom is equivalent to triggering an explosion trap. The glass beads can perfectly lure away the big black mushroom and reveal its "true face".
He should have no problem handing over this information now.
But he felt that the series of events from the appearance of the big black mushroom to the completion of his experiment was a little too smooth.
It went as smoothly as the walk to the barn.
Do you want to go find out more?
Um……
Rubbing his chin, Aidin thought for a while and then gave up.
If I lose two special magic crystals and several scrolls in one trip, wouldn’t I be at a loss if I make more trips?
After all, there is no extra pay for doing more...
