This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 139, Section 138: A Special Class

Louisa's so-called intelligence was certainly not just a statement that "the Holy Scripture is dangerous."

She not only revealed what Lin Jun already knew about the Yellow Book's abilities, but also added an extra, and most important, point—don't let the Holy Scripture absorb enough souls!

This refers to the souls of intelligent beings such as humans, demons, and even tree spirits, excluding low-intelligence demons.

As for why, Louisa herself didn't know.

However, this point was specifically emphasized to her as a precaution before she went on the mission.

The way to prevent the holy book from absorbing the surrounding souls is quite simple: do not turn its pages.

Louisa was connected to the fungal network and parasitized, so Lin Jun could tell that she wasn't lying.

However, it wasn't entirely unexpected for Lin Jun. He had never completely trusted the Yellow Book, and he only used its contents as a reference.

Lin Jun didn't care much about Louisa's so-called surrender.

This vampire only wants to improve his situation, not actually wants to live under Puji's thumb.

However, granting a certain degree of freedom is not out of the question; Louisa might be used as bait to get the Yellow Book to reveal more.

This isn't urgent; we need to arrange things properly first...

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Recently, adventurers have occasionally seen one or two Puji carrying some flowers and plants as they pass by on various floors.

The most outrageous thing is that someone even saw five Puji carrying a gray tree that had been uprooted!
While the strange new behaviors of the Puji are not uncommon in the Amethyst Dungeon, moving an entire piece of gray wood is still a bit outrageous.

Unfortunately, no one knew their destination.

If anyone tries to follow the Puji, the Puji will just keep going in circles until that person gives up.

I wonder how Puji discovered the person following them?

In a hidden place unknown to the adventurers.

For example, a cave on the second floor that is usually blocked by mimicry puffs; the underground space on the fifth floor; and behind the new mushroom forest on the sixth floor.

The transplanting and planting plan is underway.

Hidden places are not necessarily suitable for planting, so Lin Jun also put in a lot of effort to improve the environment.

If someone were to dig haphazardly on the second floor, they might unearth a fungal drainage pipe buried in the soil and connected to groundwater.

When there was a shortage of water, they pumped water; when there was a shortage of soil, they moved soil; and even the temperature was controlled by Lin Jun.

If the temperature is high, just pop an ice pop with the [Frost Path LV3] item over it to cool it down; if the temperature is low... well, let it be low then.

Lin Jun does have the skill of burning, but the energy consumption makes it unsuitable for long-term use.

The sixth floor is the least troublesome of these.

Lin Jun discovered the tree spirit's greatest value!
The tree spirits are veritable plant experts; no plant transplanted under their care has ever died, and they grow much better than those of other classes. They are practically all born plant experts.

With them taking care of things, Lin Jun only needs to draw in a little groundwater; they'll handle everything else.

Lin Jun was practically eager to share some of her Heroic Privileges with them so they could help her manage the plantation in other tiers!

In addition, Lin Jun also moved the flower buds of the dead giant flower demon to the back of the mushroom forest.

Lin Jun discovered that a new flower fairy had begun to grow a month after the previous one was killed.

Although it is still very small and not mature, and has been in a dormant state, it is clear that it is only a matter of time before it grows back to its original size.

Since we need to collect materials from the flower fairies anyway, let's choose the rarest and largest one. The material yield will be higher than other flower fairies!
Lin Jun went to great lengths to develop the magic arrays. Naturally, she wouldn't forget that there was another place in the Amethyst Dungeon with the most magic arrays—the eighth floor!
Teleportation arrays, which are extremely rare outside, are as common as free on the eighth floor.

After confirming that there were no cracks in the seventh layer, Lin Jun naturally laid down the fungal carpet.

However, I didn't eat the firefly grass this time. It's actually one of the materials for the magic circle, so I had to save some...

However, before we even started researching the magic circle, we encountered an epic problem while laying the creep!
What Lin Jun thought was the eighth floor was a large maze with countless dead ends, which were then connected by teleportation arrays to form a complete maze.

One of the original plans for conquering the eighth floor was to dig through the wall.

If we simply dig a road through it, there will be no problem with the teleportation array blocking the bacterial network.

However, Lin Jun was too naive. After the fungal carpet was laid to the eighth layer, she realized that it was not as simple as she thought.

After a little creature stepped into the teleportation array, it immediately lost contact with the fungal network!?

It's important to know that the controllable range of the microbial net is within 300 meters, while a vague sensing can occur within 1000 meters.

The fact that Puji lost contact immediately indicates that the teleportation distance exceeded 1000 meters.

Lin Jun thought the eight-layered maze was too big, so she used [Family Control] to control a Puji to teleport, and this time she didn't lose contact.

Although she hadn't lost contact, Lin Jun had absolutely no way of knowing Puji's location...

So... just how big is the eighth floor?

Lin Jun tried to dig into the wall, and after digging more than 20 meters, she encountered the "transparent wall" that she had dug into five times before.

The directions are all the same.

Lin Jun has a human guide on how to get to the eighth floor; turning nine teleportation arrays will take you to the entrance to the ninth floor.

It's obviously impossible for an eight-story building to be so large that even [Family Control] couldn't sense its direction, and it's also obviously impossible for it to be so small that digging a few dozen meters around it would be the end.

Then there is only one possibility.

The eight floors are not a whole, they are not continuous!
Lin Jun suspected that it was made up of fragmented areas of unknown location connected together by teleportation arrays.

If this conjecture is true, then it's not impossible that a section of the route is actually buried deep underground in the demon realm.

This has little impact on the adventurers.

They wouldn't dig up the wall; through the teleportation array, no matter where this area actually is, it makes no difference to the adventurers' perception.

But for Lin Jun, this was the worst possible news.

Fungal mats cannot be connected via teleportation arrays!

If you don't connect, how can I lay my fungal carpet?
If the fungal carpet can't be laid, how can the entire dungeon be bathed in the glory of the fungal network?
How can mushroom farms become great?

Once she understood the situation, Lin Jun lost all interest in observing and learning from the teleportation array.

Without mushroom carpets, it's impossible to control large-scale Puji; without the advantage of a mushroom sea, how can one or two elite Puji conquer the later tiers?
It's impossible, okay!

So who the hell designed this dungeon?

How disgusting!

However, we haven't reached the point where we have no other options.

If she couldn't get past the eighth floor, Lin Jun still remembered that there was a rift on the sixth floor that led directly to the deep zone!

Previously, due to the large number of [Thousand Pivot Mayflies] blocking the rift, and the fact that the location was far from Lin Jun's homeland, the cost of attacking it was too high, so they abandoned further exploration.

It seems we have no choice but to go that way!
