This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 109, Section 108: The Rift Valley
After dealing with the slime, Lin Jun encountered no further obstacles on the sixth floor.

With the tree spirit leading the way, you can go wherever you want.

"Help me~ Help me~"

A faint but weak cry for help came from behind the small hill.

However, neither the leading tree spirit nor the Puji controlled by Lin Jun went to check the situation behind the small slope.

Honestly, after seeing too many flower fairies, you'll find them incredibly stupid.

The voice system only has this one ancestral phrase.

If one of these happened to appear in some remote wilderness, it might actually fool an adventurer, but this is a six-story botanical garden!
Wherever you go, it's always "Help me," as if you're afraid people won't know where you are!
Thankfully, plant-type monsters still retain the ability to absorb nutrients from the ground; otherwise, given the performance of these flower fairies, they would all have starved to death.

Little Green led the way and finally arrived at a secluded corner on the sixth floor.

Few people come here because there are no herbs to gather, nor monsters to kill that can yield materials. All that exists are dozens of rifts of varying sizes that extend downwards to the horizon.

The edges of the crack were covered with dark brown weathering marks, like congealed blood scabs.

When Puji stood on the edge and bent over, she could feel the damp chill emanating from the ground.

These cracks look very similar, are not necessarily vertical, but each one is bottomless.

[Sound Wave Detection LV6]

Here, this skill is much more convenient than other observation methods.

Through detection, Lin Jun discovered that these cracks were not completely separated as they appeared on the surface.

Some adjacent cracks will extend and intersect, while others will branch out a new direction after going down a certain distance.

It's perfectly reasonable to say that these structures lead to the unknown.

Unfortunately, Lin Jun's detection skills had a limited range, making it impossible for her to directly observe the bottom.

"Boss, why are we here?"

Little Green has been living a pretty good life lately.

The A-grade magic crystal given by the boss accelerated the magic absorption speed of the roots, breaking through the long-stagnant level.

I've moved from level 29 to the maximum level of 30.

Lin Jun would also regularly give them a batch of low-level magic crystals as wages. These magic crystals were planted in the forest to help new tree spirits awaken their consciousness.

Because it brought tangible benefits to the Tree Spirit Forest, more and more tree spirits joined the ranks of those serving their leader. As long as they connected to the fungal network, they could naturally sense the leader's unfathomable will and understand that this was the best choice for the tree spirits!

The current situation is that it is on the verge of becoming the leader of the tree spirits.

Only a few stubborn old men hid deep in the forest and refused to come out.

This time, Lin Jun needed a tree spirit to guide her, and it had just finished resting, so it came on its own initiative. Little did it know that its destination would be this dead land.

This is indeed a death trap for monsters that cannot leave their tiers.

The Puji dragged an unconscious stone-skinned wild boar to a relatively vertical ravine and threw it down.

The wild boar plummeted rapidly, and after it exceeded the level range, a tiny arc of electricity flashed by, and the wild boar's interface disappeared.

Instant kill.

The rules of the maze also apply in the Rift Valley, only in a different form.

Little Green, who was watching this scene, felt a bit of empathy. It was also a monster of a certain level, and the result of jumping down would be no different from that of the wild boar.

Lin Jun then answered Xiao Lü's earlier question:

"Why did I come here? Because... this is my hometown..."

home?

So that's how it is. The boss comes from even lower down; no wonder he's so powerful!
For a moment, Xiao Lü frantically imagined all sorts of possibilities.

Then we heard Lin Jun shouting from inside the mushroom net: "Hometown, here I come!"

A creature leaped down with a plop, its four mycelial tentacles unfurling a blanket—a parachute. Then it free-fell, crashing into a rock wall with a "bang," and perished…

Well, it seems the makeshift parachute I casually made was useless after all.

But that's okay, there's more than one solution!
A round, plump creature covered in a thick layer of mycelium rolled out, and the other creatures worked together to push it down into a random opening.

The mycelial ball bumped against the stone wall, and burst forth with clusters of mycelium below, quickly disappearing from view.

Little Green, standing to the side, really wanted to ask if returning to her hometown like this was too hasty, but she didn't dare to speak up...

In fact, Lin Jun wasn't even sure if what was below was a mushroom garden; she was just checking to see if it led directly to the deeper areas.

The chosen opening wasn't very vertical, and the mycelial ball stumbled and fell, consuming most of the cushioning mycelium before even landing, making a safe landing impossible.

He's probably going to fall to his death.

A thick white line caught the plop!
It twisted and turned, but the stickiness was too strong to break free.

spider?

There are indeed several types of spiders in the deep zone.

Why would a spider build its web so high when it can't even sense the ground below?

The vibrations of the sticky, thick thread seemed to have startled the owner, and soon the monster crawled over along the thread.

A large monster with a multi-segmented body like a centipede and a pair of dragonfly wings on its back appeared in front of Puji.

Wait, where's the spider?
Spiders are disgusting enough, but this thing is even more disgusting than a spider.

Puji aimed the mushroom cannon at the monster and fired a shot, hitting the monster squarely in the head!

Seemingly unprepared for its prey's counterattack, the monster shook its head, which had been shaken, and then crawled over without even a scratch on its head.

After crawling over, the monster extended its long, thin mouthparts and pierced into Puji's body, directly sucking up its magic power.

It absorbed a third of the magic power in one gulp, and then visibly shrank away.

Before dying, Lin Jun only had time to glance at the monster's stats on the other side.

[Race: Thousand-Hole Mayfly]

【Level: 62】

Alright, no wonder the mushroom cannon couldn't break through!

This is a very deep area!
As the Thousand-Headed Mayfly sucked up its food again, Puji lost contact.

Although Puji died, Lin Jun was now certain that what lay below indeed led to the deeper areas.

It's a level 62 monster, far exceeding the level cap of the tenth floor. Where else could it be but a deep layer?

However, this crevice is definitely not the one that leads to the old mushroom garden. Inanna fell down slowly back then, without hitting the rock wall or encountering any monsters.

Although it didn't really mean anything, Lin Jun still really wanted to see her hometown.

But there's no rush, even today.

After confirming that this area connects to the deeper zones, Lin Jun planned to lay the mycelium down the rock wall to see if she could go down directly using the method of laying a mycelial mat.

"Go back," Lin Jun instructed.

The remaining Poji were originally intended to scout ahead, but the second Poji had already completed its task, so there was no need to send the others down to their deaths.

Little Green had no idea what was happening down there; all it knew was that the two little poops were told to jump down and die.

Turn around and pave the way back for the Puji.

As we passed the small slope, the cries for help from behind had not stopped.

"Help me!"
