This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 124, page 123. The Seventh Floor
Six floors, in the unfinished new mushroom forest.

Little Green's feet were planted firmly in the ground, its roots turning over and over in the soil, while another tree spirit planted a tender branch on a patch of already turned soil next to it.

Loose soil has good air and water permeability, which is beneficial to root respiration and growth.

Compared to slow-growing trees, mushrooms grow much faster.

The mushroom carpet had already been laid out on the planned site. Although the mushroom trees had not yet grown, they had already sprouted and would take about half a month to grow to a considerable size.

At the same time, spores are also scattered on these tender shoots, and they will grow alongside the shoots and be beneficial.

The magic power of these mushrooms growing on tender branches is not taken away by Lin Jun; instead, it is all provided to the tender branches to help them grow quickly.

Once these tender branches grow into demon trees and further develop consciousness to become tree spirits, these newly born tree spirits will be born mushroom-shaped.

To help them grow better, Lin Jun also experimented with making some puji tools.

In the center of the planted sapling, there is a creature fixed to the ground, constantly expanding and contracting.

Each time it contracts, water sprays outwards from the countless tiny holes on the mushroom cap, just like a watering can.

It is connected to a special mycelial tube at its base, which is actually a modified mycelial tentacle.

Complex modifications, such as adding wings, would be impossible for a simple-minded character without skills to handle. However, relatively simple modifications are another matter, such as those that only require suction tubes.

The pipe is directly connected to the groundwater, and there is even another pipe in the middle to relay the water.

Simply put, Lin Jun used two Puji (a type of shower head) to create a shower head, and so far the effect seems to be quite good.

Even some tree spirits who have finished their work will come over for a shower, and the experience of water hitting the bark directly is something they really enjoy.

Norris, who was returning to the slime room after his parole ended, also saw this novel thing.

Imitating the tree spirit, I approached the shower mushroom and let the water droplets hit my white scales.

He had only been enjoying the spray for a short while when he suddenly remembered something, so he quickly stepped out of the spray area and opened the yellow book in his hand.

"Huang Shu, are you alright after getting wet?"

[Do you think I'm some junk book that costs 10 copper coins on the street?]
How could I possibly be afraid of water?
[Also, how can you talk like that? You should call me senior. I've been at Mushroom Garden for much longer than you.]
Wasn't he locked up all this time...?

Although Norris thought this, he didn't say it aloud, but instead referred to it as his predecessor, as required by the Yellow Book.

Norris originally wanted to avoid getting involved with the Yellow Book as much as possible. What the boss revealed in his communication with the Yellow Book was too frightening. He was practically no match for the Yellow Book.

But the Holy Scripture, as a heretical book whose main function is to bewitch people, would be too useless if it couldn't handle a 17-year-old child, even if it couldn't use charm.

It told Norris a story about a hero rescuing a princess.

On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, the princess of a small country was kidnapped by a giant dragon, and a hero took on the mission of rescuing her.

Along the way, the hero makes friends, explores ruins, and defeats monsters. When he finally finds the dragon's lair, he discovers that the princess has been completely digested and left without a trace. Enraged, the hero has no choice but to kill the dragon to avenge the princess.

When the hero returned dejected after failing his mission, he discovered that the small country had been destroyed while he was away, and no one knew about his embarrassing failure to save the princess. How fortunate!

Lin Jun, relying on her LV7 Perfected Universal Language skill, secretly observed the general plot of the story, which was quite morbidly funny, but Norris was completely engrossed in it.

Norris had only a gambling father who died young, and after the age of 14 he was caught in a vortex of debt, so he rarely had the opportunity to hear stories. Therefore, he was immediately attracted by the heretical stories told in the Bible.

After the Bible promised to tell him a story every three days, Norris gladly agreed to take it with him. ...

Lin Jun's fungal carpet has now started to spread from the sixth layer to the seventh layer.

According to the Yellow Book, if no cracks are found on the seventh floor, it means that the sixth floor is where the cracks started, so there is not a big problem.

However, if cracks also appear on the seventh floor, the situation could be quite serious.

However, this is unlikely. If the rift problem were already serious, the adventurers should have noticed it long ago.

Lin Jun asked Norris, and at least before Norris came down, she had not heard any related rumors.

The seventh floor is a very special level. If Lin Jun were to describe the terrain here, it would be like a sewer.

A massive sewer system.

The waterway, which is more than ten meters wide, is flanked by dirt roads.

The waterways crisscrossed, and the water surface was only seven or eight meters away from the dome. Compared with the height difference of tens of meters between the five or six floors, the space seemed much smaller, and there weren't even many monsters in this space.

But this is just an illusion. The truly enormous part of the seventh level is the underwater space, and the part above the water is probably less than one-tenth of that. The monsters on this level are all aquatic monsters.

There were prawns, oysters, turtles, and monstrous fish—heaven knows why there were so many things that looked like seafood.

Lin Jun really liked this floor because the only creatures that could be found on the shore on the seventh floor were some amphibious monsters and a type of insect that lived on the dome—there were no slimes!

The fungal carpet spread out without any problem. The monsters that come ashore will at most eat some mushrooms and won't deliberately damage the fungal carpet.

Lin Jun's fungal carpet spread smoothly, feeding on firefly grass, a world of difference compared to when it was on the sixth floor.

However, there are still some minor issues.

Since most of the seven levels are underwater, there is a high probability that any spatial rifts would appear underwater.

Maybe my own dungeon is leaking into other dungeons too.

Since we're going to explore underwater, a batch of special-quality Puji (a type of creature) is naturally indispensable.

However, the skills related to underwater exploration in Lin Jun's skill set are all of very low level. These low-level skills have limited effects and are completely unable to support Puji in completing underwater exploration missions.

The highest level is [Underwater Adaptation LV4], which only allows Puji to stay underwater a little longer, but doesn't help with combat or escape.

Lin Jun had already tried throwing a few pujis into the water, but in the end, they were just fish food. The tattered mushroom caps floated to the surface shortly after they fell in.

There's nothing we can do about it. Lin Jun had never had the chance to come into contact with these aquatic monsters before. Even those level one or two underwater skills were things that Xiao Hei brought back when he went out to play.

To complete the exploration, we still need to level up these skills first.

You don't need to go very high; around LV4 is fine, as it's an easy and quick level to reach and that will be useful.

However, the problem is that aquatic monsters are not like land monsters, which Lin Jun could easily defeat by rushing over with a group of Puji.

You have to get the aquatic monster ashore first, or at least lure it to the surface of the water, before you have a chance to kill it.

Fortunately, Lin Jun was familiar with him; it was just fishing!
