Chapter 109 106. The underground city is leaking
"What's going on?"
At the entrance to the fifth and sixth floors, a group of adventurers were forced to stop heading to the sixth floor because the stairs were full...
The Pujis crowded at the entrance of the stairs and went down in batches, blocking the road and making it impossible for adventurers to get in.
People's acceptance of strange things is always being refreshed. Adventurers used to be amazed to see big black mushrooms moving through the stairs, but now they are not so surprised to see the Pujis all going down the stairs.
only……
The adventurer looked at the long line of Puji behind him and complained:
"How long will it take to finish all of this?"
…
On the sixth floor, the mushroom cannons in the southwest corner have not stopped firing for most of the day, and many of the cannons have been fired until the mycelium is overworked and silent.
Among them, the turrets on the bottom layer of the rock wall were directly attacked. They were rushed up by large slime and were digested completely or half-digested before dying in the stone shell.
The slime even wanted to eat the turrets above, but as the slope turned into a reverse slope, it became increasingly difficult for the slime to climb, and it was eventually beaten back by the firepower of the remaining turrets.
Unfortunately, the remaining artillery positions on the rock wall were too far away and could only bombard the areas below indiscriminately, with limited effectiveness.
Lin Jun is commanding this sudden decisive battle with the slime.
The rock pit had been breached long ago, so Lin Jun could only let the Pujis retreat first. After meeting up with the first group of Pujis who came to support from the fifth floor, they drew an isolation zone.
More than two hundred mushroom cannons surrounded the corner where the hill was, trying to prevent the large slimes from spreading out.
In a corner of the defense line, more than twenty Pujis were retreating and fighting under the pressure of three slimes.
The slime closest to it was hit the hardest, with a large amount of body fluids exploded and its body was less than a person's height.
Another round of mushroom cannons came, but this time without enough mucus defense, the core hidden inside the body was also affected and destroyed, and the entire slime instantly turned into a pool of liquid.
However, the situation was not good. The two slimes further away were both two people tall. Several mushroom cannon shots at their surface only made them shrink slightly, and their health bars were still growing!
One of the slimes jumped a few steps and caught up with the Puji that was at the end, wrapped it up, and successfully engaged in battle with the Pujis.
Lin Jun could only let the Pujis disperse, at least to prevent the Slime from killing both of them with one jump.
However, even so, the number of Pujis was decreasing rapidly, and the two slimes were only weakened a little and were about to be completely destroyed.
Dongdong——Dongdong——
A heavy sound of footsteps different from ordinary ones was heard, and a big black mushroom rushed out from the woods.
The fat man punched a slime and exploded it like a water ball!
There were four Pujis that exploded together, but unfortunately they were all gone.
The other slime didn't live for more than a few seconds before Xiao Hei jumped up and stepped on it, scattering it all over the ground.
The flying digestive mucus also made an animal that was close to it plop to the ground, and it died after struggling for a few times.
Xiao Hei licked the slime on his hands - these slimes had plenty of magic power and tasted pretty good.
However, Xiao Hei did not stay for long as she was taken away by Lin Jun as there were other places where she was needed to put out fires.
There were only 5 Pujis left alive, and they could not form a defense line. Fortunately, new troops had come down from the stairs, and this batch had doubled in number, totaling 400.
With the help of the super-powerful Xiao Hei, the encirclement that had been pushed back a little was suppressed step by step.
To be honest, fortunately, the slimes emerging from the hill are not endless, considering the pressure of the encirclement.
After the rock pit was breached, a group of large slimes should have emerged, and there was no follow-up after that.
That's right, how can it be really unlimited?
It is rather outrageous that there are so many large slimes hidden in this hill, the source of underground water.
Although the situation has now stabilized, the slime rampage still caused a devastating blow to the ecology in the encirclement in the southwest corner of the sixth floor.
The large slime sat down, and no matter whether it was a flower fairy or a vine, it would all be digested.
Coupled with Lin Jun's mushroom cannon washing the ground, under the double blow, the vacant space in this area suddenly increased!
Fortunately, it is only a corner and has little impact on the entire sixth floor.
After another half day, they finally pushed the front line back to the rock pit, and with dozens of mushroom cannon shots, they destroyed the last slime within sight.
Xiao Hei didn't follow her. She got tired halfway through the fight, so she picked up a Puji and started eating with the slime on the ground on her lips. She probably just finished eating now.
Lin Jun controlled the Pujis to come to the dug-out crack, and without caring about the corrosive slime on the ground, he sent a few Pujis to drill in through the broken hole.
Once we went in, we found that the inside of the mountain was almost hollow, no wonder it could hold so many slimes!
Lin Jun quickly discovered traces of underground water, walked upstream along the water flow, and found a special slime at the end.
This slime is only as tall as a person, not small, but compared with its peers that rushed out, it is underdeveloped.
It has a mix of red and green colors on its body, and looks like two slimes merged together.
When Lin Jun saw it, it was trying to split another slime out of its body.
After the split, its size became smaller again.
The split slime was a pure red slime, not two-colored like the mother slime. It was killed on the spot by Puji after landing.
[Core Split LV9]
This is not a common skill.
You should know that normal slimes are formed directly from the environment and magic power, rather than reproducing by splitting.
No wonder there are so many slimes here that far exceed the upper limit of the sixth-floor environment. It turns out that they are not produced naturally.
But this still doesn't explain why those slimes can grow so big!
Lin Jun also discovered something strange.
This slime... keeps spraying water...
It continuously spews out a large amount of clear water from both sides of its body, and it looks like the source of groundwater?
Funny?
Lin Jun didn't see a skill that could create infinite water in its skill column.
Is the water coming out from where it sits?
Two Pujis rolled up a thin piece of stone and tried to sweep the slime away.
Since he hadn't decided whether to kill it outright, Puji didn't use too much force to avoid accidentally killing it.
As a result, this two-color slime, which had not shown any aggressiveness since they met, actually struggled to hold against the stone slab, as if it didn't want to move.
Puji didn't have much strength, and he couldn't push it open for a while.
However, Lin Jun has more than two Pujis. After more Pujis joined, the Slime was reluctantly pushed aside.
Sure enough, there was a crack in the rock where water was gushing out.
After the slime was removed, a trace of magic power emanated from the emerging water!
This water is actually full of magic!
This is the first time... No, I've seen it in a treasure chest room, and the magic concentration there was much higher than this one.
But there is a lot of water in this crevice!
All in all, the total amount of magic power here is greater.
Just to explain why the slimes refuse to move and why they can grow so big, it turns out that they have been squatting here, filtering and absorbing all the magic power, and eating it all by themselves!
This slime can perform filtering magic, so Lin Jun can do it too!
Although there is no shortage of magic power right now, you can never have too much magic power.
When the time comes, I will use mycelium to form several layers of filters. The hollow of this hill can also be used as a hidden space. When the time comes, I just need to fake the gap outside...
[Corrosion Curse: Continuously receive corrosion damage]
Um?
What?
The curse effect suddenly appeared on the panels of all the Puji present, and they began to lose health...
Lin Jun reacted quickly. When the Pujis' blood was only half gone, he hurriedly moved the two-color slime back to block the water outlet.
The slime returned to its original position and made a bubble of satisfaction.
Sure enough, the curse disappeared after a while.
How could Lin Jun not understand? It turned out that there was a curse in the water!
But why?
We can't just let this go on like this!
While controlling the two-color slime, Lin Jun stepped up the production of various types of puffs with high health and corrosion resistance.
When everything is ready, kick the two-color slime away again, and the digging puffs start digging open the cracks in the rocks.
Even with such preparations, I still had to bring back the two-color slime once.
The longer this corrosion curse stays on the panel, the higher the damage. If you are not immune to corrosion damage like a slime, you will not be able to withstand it.
After a while, the Pujis finally chiseled open the cracks in the stone, revealing the truth behind it.
A crack!
A very small space rift, but just like the one during the Demon Tide, it connects to other dungeons!
What’s happened to this underground city? Has it fallen into disrepair?
Does the other side know that sewage is leaking from their water pipes and coming here?
