This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 148, Section 147... In short, it's the Great Expedition!
Whoosh—hiss—

Another cannon shot imbued with magic slammed into his side, splashing dirt onto his face.

The minotaur, over four meters tall, touched its mangled belly, which had been riddled with bullets. It knew it could no longer rely on its strength to withstand attacks as it always had.

Blindly charging in will only result in getting smashed to pieces like that giant spider next to you.

In fact, elsewhere, if it were to encounter this giant spider alone, it would surely be a life-or-death struggle.

However, today, faced with the sudden onslaught of the Puji that launched indiscriminate attacks, the two mortal enemies had no choice but to temporarily unite against them.

Even now, it still needs to rely on the remaining power of this giant spider.

More accurately, it is by using the rear half of the giant spider's massive body—its thick, fleshy rump.

The minotaur turned and swung his giant axe, severing the dead giant spider's buttocks. He grabbed the thick part with one hand and held it in front of him as a shield.

puff!puff!
Two more mushroom cannon shots were fired, hitting the giant spider's buttocks and splattering pale green fluid, while the minotaur behind it remained unharmed.

efficient!

With a low growl, the minotaur charged towards the Puji, using the giant spider's rump as a fleshy shield.

The Minotaur were not the only ones attacking the Puji.

Mud monsters, crystal cluster beasts with crystalline shells, demon-toothed boars, and the most numerous shadowy bats... they rushed towards the Puji from all parts of the cave.

This is an enormous cave with extremely scarce freshwater resources in its deepest areas, which has attracted many different kinds of monsters to inhabit the vicinity.

Any monster with basic survival skills would avoid fighting near water sources to prevent damaging this precious resource. But those mushrooms clearly lacked this kind of intelligence.

They launch indiscriminate area attacks, slaughtering all living things within their sight.

Even in the initial attack, several poisonous lizards that were drinking water by the lake were blasted into pieces, causing their highly toxic bodily fluids to seep into the lake water and pollute the water source.

This action undoubtedly provoked the hostility of all the monsters in the cave, temporarily uniting them under the common goal of fighting against a threat.

Moo-!
Using the giant spider's rear end and the other monsters to spread their fire, the minotaur charged into the puji.

With a flick of his hand, he shoved aside the spider's rear end, which had been blasted to almost nothing, and the minotaur swung his giant axe like a giant windmill!

The Pooji's fragile bodies posed no obstacle to the axe, even giving the Minotaur the illusion that he had missed.

But in reality, this one attack wiped out eight Puji.

Bull Head swung his heavy axe again and again, leaving afterimages in his wake.

In the end, they are just a bunch of weaklings. Once you get close, they are utterly vulnerable!
The minotaur, engrossed in the carnage, was completely unaware that several red streaks of blood were rapidly moving through the ranks of the puji.

By the time it smelled the pungent stench of blood, it was too late.

Thick fur and tough muscles couldn't stop the blood lines in the slightest. In just an instant, several bloody holes were pierced through the minotaur's body, and he was severely injured.

The minotaur knelt in the ranks of the puffers, and one of the puffers aimed its mushroom cannon at it.

A pale yet strong hand pressed down on the mushroom cap and gently turned it to another direction.

Louisa slowly walked forward, and the Puji made way for her.

At this moment, her face was full and her posture was elegant, showing no trace of the disheveled appearance she had just had a few days ago.

Clearly, the food here is much better for her.

Louisa herself was two meters tall, and the minotaur in front of her, even kneeling, was still much taller than her.

However, she didn't take the minotaur in front of her seriously.

The vampire plunged her fingers into the minotaur's pierced arm, and with a muffled groan, drew out a stream of fresh blood, which she then put in her mouth. She rested her chin on her other hand, a satisfied expression on her face.

Although it wasn't human, and although it had a slight cow smell, it was at least the blood of a humanoid intelligent being, and it was so fresh, with such vigorous life force in its blood!

She was almost completely absorbed in it.

As Louisa closed her eyes to savor the memory, the heavily injured minotaur miraculously managed to stand up again with sheer willpower.

His right hand, still bleeding, raised the giant axe high and brought it down fiercely on the woman in front of him who didn't take it seriously!

However, a hand firmly caught the axe handle, and no matter how hard the minotaur tried, he couldn't push it down even a fraction.

Louisa then slowly opened her eyes again.

Although not a race specializing in strength like the minotaurs, the gap in levels still allows Louisa to possess higher strength attributes than this minotaur, not to mention that the minotaur is injured at this moment.

Looking at the minotaur who still refused to give up and wanted to smash him with his fists.

Louisa gently beckoned with her finger, and blood gushed from the minotaur's wound, pooling in her hand.

Before long, the minotaur will be drained dry.

"cough!"

A cough suddenly came from within the mushroom web.

Louisa's hand trembled, almost scattering the blood sphere in her hand.

The delicious taste of blood almost made her forget the task assigned by that terrifying being!

They quickly stopped drawing blood from the minotaur and even managed to replenish some of it.

The boss's requirement: Humanoid creatures, capture them, don't kill them!

Thank goodness, the minotaur is still alive; she doesn't want to experience any more mushrooms suddenly growing on her body.

With a touch of reluctance, they watched as several cattle and horses dragged away the unconscious minotaur—the last drop of blood before death is the most precious part of a life.

Unfortunately, with the boss's KPIs looming large, my life is far more important than a little bit of food.

Work, work...

He casually plucked some blood from the dead monsters, condensed it into a bloodline, and shot it at the black shadow bats flying all over the sky, shooting down more than a dozen of the closest ones.

Looking at the countless monsters in front of her, Louisa didn't intend to deal with them all herself.

With a thought, the elite Poji surrounded her and launched a fierce attack on the monsters.

She was only responsible for dealing with those who managed to slip through the net of fire.

Within this Puji Expeditionary Team, the elite Puji squad that she can directly command is specifically responsible for assisting her in dealing with some higher-level monsters.

As for ordinary monsters, countless ordinary Puji are responsible for cleaning them up.

Just like now, after discovering that the real trouble in this cave was the group of black shadowy bats flying around in the air, Puji quickly sent out his own bats as well!

The Shadow Bats are troublesome because of their unpredictable sneak attacks, while the speed of the regular Bats is negligible compared to them.

But the bat poop will explode the moment it is touched!

Suddenly, fireworks exploded above the cave, and shattered mycelium and mangled black bat carcasses fell together.

The fate of this cave is largely sealed.

Louisa drank the remaining minotaur blood in her hand, her eyes becoming glazed over again. All she wanted now was to stay down there forever and never return to the fifth floor, which was filled with her painful memories!
