This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 107, Section 106: The Dungeon is Leaking
"What's happening here?"

At the entrance to the fifth and sixth floors of the staircase, a group of adventurers were forced to stop their ascent to the sixth floor because the staircase was full...

The puffies crowded down the stairs in batches, blocking the way and making it impossible for the adventurers to squeeze in.

People's tolerance for strange things is constantly being refreshed. Adventurers used to be amazed when they saw the giant black mushroom walking through the stairs, but now they are not so surprised when they see the Pujis going downstairs in a group.

only……

The adventurer glanced at the long line of puffers behind him and complained:

"How long will it take to walk all of this?"

……

On the sixth floor, the mushroom cannons in the southwest corner have been firing non-stop for most of the day, and many of the cannons have run out of steam and stopped firing due to the exhaustion of the mycelium.

The turrets on the lowest level of the rock face were the most directly affected, as large slime slimes rushed up and digested them completely or only partially, leaving them dead inside the rock shells.

The slime even tried to eat the turrets above, but as the slope turned into an inverted slope, it became increasingly difficult for the slime to climb, and it was eventually driven back by the firepower of the remaining turrets.

Unfortunately, the remaining gun emplacements on the rock face are too far away and can only fire randomly downwards, so their effectiveness is limited.

Lin Jun is directing this sudden and decisive battle against the slimes.

The crater had already been breached, so Lin Jun could only have the Puji retreat one by one. After they met up with the first batch of Puji who came to support from the fifth floor, they drew a line of defense.

More than two hundred mushroom puki surrounded the corner where the small hill was located, trying to prevent the large slimes from spreading out.

At one corner of the defensive line, more than twenty Puji were retreating and fighting back under the pressure of three Slimes.

The slime that was closest to the target was hit the most, and a large amount of its bodily fluids were blasted out, reducing its size to less than a person's height.

Another round of mushroom cannons came down. This time, without enough slime defense, the core hidden inside the body was also destroyed, and the entire slime instantly turned into a puddle of liquid.

However, the situation was not good. The two slimes a little further away were as tall as two people. Several mushroom cannon shots hit their surfaces, but only made them shrink a little. Their health bars were still long!
One of the slimes leaped several steps, caught up with the last-placed Puji, and wrapped it up, successfully engaging the Puji in battle.

Lin Jun could only scatter the Puji, at least to prevent the slime from getting a double kill in one jump.

Even so, the number of Puji was decreasing rapidly, while the two slimes were only weakened slightly and were about to be completely wiped out.

Dongdong——dongdong——

Unlike the usual heavy, thumping footsteps, a large black mushroom rushed out of the woods.

The big, fat fist smashed into a slime, shattering it like a water balloon!

Four Puji were also exposed at the same time, but unfortunately, none of them could be saved.

The other slime didn't survive much longer before Little Black jumped up and stomped it, scattering it all over the ground.

The splattered digestive mucus also smeared a nearby creature on the ground, which struggled for a few moments before dying.

Little Black licked the slime off his hands—these slimes were full of magic and tasted pretty good.

However, Xiao Hei didn't stay long before Lin Jun directed her away, as there were other places that needed her to put out fires.

Only 5 Puji survived on the spot, which was not enough to form a defensive line. Fortunately, a new force had come down from the steps, and this batch was twice as many as 400.

With the addition of the supermodel Xiao Hei, the encirclement that had been pushed back somewhat was gradually pushed back in.

To be honest, thankfully the slimes emerging from the hill weren't endless, considering the pressure from the encirclement.

After the crater was breached, another batch of large slimes should have emerged, but there was no further activity after that.

That's more like it, it can't really be generated without any limit!

It's more absurd enough that such a large number of slimes could be hidden in this small hill, the source of the groundwater.

Although the situation has now stabilized, this slime rampage still dealt a devastating blow to the ecosystem in the southwest corner of the sixth level of the encirclement.

The giant slime plopped down, and whatever flower fairy or vine it was, it was all to be digested.

With Lin Jun's mushroom cannon sweeping the area, the double blow quickly created a lot more open space in this area!

Fortunately, it was only a corner, so the impact on the entire sixth floor was not significant.

After another half day, they finally pushed the battle line back to the vicinity of the rock pit, and dozens of mushroom cannon shots eliminated the last slime in sight.

Xiao Hei didn't come over. She got tired halfway through the fight, picked up a Puji covered in slime from the ground, and started eating. She probably just finished eating now.

Lin Jun guided the Puji to the crack they had dug out. Ignoring the corrosive slime on the ground, she sent a few Puji to crawl into the opening.

Once inside, I discovered that the mountain was almost hollow inside, no wonder it could hold so many slimes!
Lin Jun quickly discovered the traces of groundwater and followed the water upstream, eventually finding a peculiar slime at its end. This slime was only about the height of a person, not small, but compared to its kind that had rushed out, it was underdeveloped.

Its red and green colors are mixed together, making it look like two slimes combined.

When Lin Jun saw it, it was struggling to separate another slime from its body.

After splitting, its size decreased again.

The slime that split off was a pure red slime, unlike the mother slime which was two-colored. It was instantly killed by Puji upon landing.

[Core Split LV9]

This is not a common skill.

It's important to know that normal slimes are formed directly from the environment and magic, not through fission and reproduction.

No wonder there are far more slimes here than the six-layer environment can hold; they were not produced naturally.

However, this still doesn't explain why those slimes can grow so big!

Lin Jun also discovered something strange.

This slime... keeps spraying water...

It kept gushing out large amounts of clear water from both sides of its body, looking just like a source of groundwater.
Funny?
Lin Jun didn't see a single skill in its skill bar that could create water infinitely.

Is water coming out from where it's sitting?
Two puffy figures were wrapped around a thin stone slab, trying to sweep the slime away.

Since they hadn't decided whether to kill it directly, Puji didn't use too much force, lest they accidentally kill it.

As a result, this two-colored slime, which hadn't shown any aggression since they met, actually resisted the stone slab with all its might, as if it didn't want to move.

Puji wasn't very strong, and she couldn't push him away for a moment.

However, Lin Jun had more than just two Puji. After more Puji joined, the slime was reluctantly pushed aside.

Sure enough, there was a crevice in the rock where water was seeping out.

After the slime was moved, a trace of magic emanated from the bubbling water!

This water is actually full of magic!
This is the first time... no, I've seen treasure rooms before, and the magic concentration there was much higher than this.

But there's a lot of water in this crevice!
All things considered, the total amount of magic here is still greater.

So that explains why the slimes won't move and why they can grow so big—it's because they've been sitting here all this time, filtering and absorbing all the magic power, hogging it all!

This slime can filter magic, so can Lin Jun!

Although there isn't a huge shortage right now, you can never have too much magic.

Later, we can use mycelium to create several layers of filters, and the hollows in this small hill can also be used as a hiding space. Then we just need to conceal the external openings...

【Curse of Corruption】

Ok?
what?
Suddenly, the curse effect appeared on all the Puji panels present, and they began to lose health...

Lin Jun reacted quickly, and when the Puji's health had dropped by half, she hurriedly moved the two-colored slime back to block the water outlet.

The slime, having returned to its original position, even popped a bubble in satisfaction.

Sure enough, the curse disappeared after a short while.

Lin Jun understood perfectly well; it turned out there was a curse in the water!

But why?

This can't just be left unresolved!
While controlling the two-colored slime, Lin Jun also accelerated the production of various types of "puji" with high health and corrosion resistance.

Once everything was ready, the two-colored slimes were kicked aside again, and the digging poopi began to dig open the cracks in the rocks.

Despite all the preparations, we still had to bring back the two-colored slime halfway through.

The longer this Corruption Curse remains on the panel, the higher the damage becomes; it's truly unbearable for anything other than a slime that is immune to corruption damage.

After working for quite some time, the Puji finally managed to chisel open the crack in the rock, revealing the truth behind it—

A crack!
A small spatial rift, but just like the one during the Demon Tide, connecting to other dungeons!
What's going on with this underground city? Has it been in disrepair for years?

Do people across the street know that their water pipes are leaking sewage onto this side?
