This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 153, Section 152: Intelligence
What if you encounter a human hero?
That is of course--

Hide Puji and do nothing!

Judging from what just happened, the other side probably didn't notice Scout Puji, after all, there were so many people in the tavern, and Scout Puji could hide very quickly.

However, Lin Jun still felt quite awkward, because the hero was completely different from what she had in mind.

The heroes that Dylan and Inanna talked about before were all big shots who defied heaven and earth, killed the Demon King, and destroyed the demon race hundreds of years ago.

Every time I think about it like this, I feel like maybe I, this "brave warrior," can be that awesome one day.

This time, I suddenly saw a Level 18 hero who was the garrison commander on the slave island. How can I put it... the difference is just too big...

And how come there are other heroes besides myself?

Lin Jun even suddenly began to suspect that the so-called hero might be something like raising a bunch of poisonous insects, and in the end, the one who achieves success is the real hero.
Although she couldn't understand why a hero would appear here, Lin Jun had no intention of getting involved with him; the thought of such a thing was too troublesome.

So Lin Jun didn't even mention it to Dylan, but just told him to avoid the garrison commander.

……

After leaving the tavern, Dylan followed the address provided by the short man and found a secluded basement with only a red flower pattern as a marker at the entrance.

As soon as he opened the door, Dylan wrinkled his nose at the cloying smell of opium mixed in with the air.

The basement space was very small, almost just a long, narrow corridor, with a counter at the very back, behind which sat a woman smoking a cigarette.

The woman glanced at Dylan, seemingly quite surprised: "We actually have guests."

As she spoke, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the woman pulled her collar down even lower.

Name: Mengya

[Race: Succubus]

【Level: 36】

A real succubus!

However, Lin Jun did not speak up to remind Dylan.

Looking at the woman in front of him, striking seductive poses, Dylan frowned even more deeply—was that short woman just messing with him, giving him the address of a brothel?

But Dylan still tentatively uttered the code: "Half a sea lily?"

"Sigh—" Mengya on the other end suddenly sighed, looking listless, "It's this business... So, what do you want to find out?"

Dylan looked at her with a strange expression: "So... your business also includes taking clients?"

"Interested?" Mengya looked at Dylan, seemingly preferring another profession to selling information.

Dylan shook his head decisively.

"I'm here to inquire about someone named Bella."

To Dylan's surprise, as soon as he finished saying his name, Mengya across from him pulled out several documents from under the counter and threw them in front of him, as if she had prepared them in advance.

Two gold coins.

Dylan frowned. At this cheap price, it looked like they'd sold a lot...

He was given two gold coins and started reading the document on the spot.

The intelligence was very detailed, clearly stating when Bella went to the island with which ship and what she did there.

It was only then that Dylan realized that the person he had heard about killing Secretary Grossa was actually Bella!?
The intelligence report ended with: Escaped, whereabouts unknown.

This made Dylan both worried and relieved.

There's one last page. When you open it, the information on it is about a middle-aged silver-ranked adventurer named Dylan, who is Bella's father...

not good!

Dylan reached for the sword at his waist, but when he looked up, he saw a pair of purple eyes.

Those eyes were like a vortex; once Dylan met them, he couldn't look away, and his grip on the sword loosened.

[Fixed State: Charm]

"That's strange, what are you doing on the island? Don't mind telling me about it?"

As she spoke, the proprietress Mengya's hand slid across Dylan's face, but she suddenly stopped halfway through.

Mengya frowned, pulled her hand away, and a bloody mark appeared on Dylan's face.

After being injured, [Mimicry] failed, revealing Dylan's green face covered in mycelium.

"Demons? Parasitic type!"

In the instant Mengya panicked, Dylan's backpack suddenly jumped out from behind her. Before she could react, the backpack straps wrapped around her hands and feet, strangled her, and lifted her up. What!?

Mengya wanted to resist, but as long as she gave the order, the bewitched "Dylan" would help her!
But the tentacles were tightening too much, and they were getting tighter and tighter. The pain of suffocation and pleasure surged into Mengya's mind at the same time.

Unable to maintain its disguise any longer, its small wings and thin tail were fully exposed.

Just as Mengya was about to faint, a dark figure holding a dagger jumped down from the ceiling.

Scout Puji seemed to have anticipated this. He only had three tentacles restraining Mengya, and with a flick of his free tentacle, he accurately knocked the dagger away and also hoisted the attacker up.

[Name: Stinky Fish]

[Race: Goblin]

【Level: 26】

[Fixed Status: Aging (All base attributes reduced by 20%)]

The succubus beside him was already rolling her eyes back from being strangled, while the goblin, who was still somewhat able to move after being restrained, suddenly said:
"My lord, spare me! Spare me! It's a misunderstanding among our own! Release the stinky fish, and it will tell you everything!"

This guy not only begged for mercy in fluent human language, but then repeated it in demon language.

Goblin + Succubus.

This combination of Lin Jun and Lin Jun looks really strange.

Mengya finally fainted, and at the same moment, Dylan, who had been standing there stunned, woke up.

Lin Jun then put the two guys down, but did not loosen the succubus's bound hands and feet.

As soon as it landed, the goblin knelt down and kept kowtowing.

"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord! It was all a misunderstanding. Mengya was blind and didn't know that you two were also demons of the Empire!"

After banging for a while, the stinky fish grabbed the succubus and slapped her wildly, making her fly up.

Mengya slowly woke up, but before she could even process what was happening, the goblin dragged her to her knees to the side.

Lin Jun ignored the occasional glances the two demons gave Puji and told the now-awakened Dylan to find a rope to tie up the succubus, as it was inconvenient to keep her bound with mycelium tentacles.

Dylan actually found rope under the counter, and not just rope, but also whips and other random things...

"Which duke do you serve under?" Lin Jun asked through Dylan, adopting the demeanor of a demon himself.

At this moment, the succubus finally came to her full senses, glanced at Dylan and Puji, and turned her face away resentfully.

"Humph!"

They won't cooperate... then let's just be direct...

"Oh dear, why are you so angry!"

A goblin, who wasn't tied up because it posed no threat, kicked Mengya in the butt, causing her to twist her body in dissatisfaction.

The goblin then ran to the wall, pulled open a partition, took out a stack of intelligence documents, and knelt down in front of Puji again.

"My lords, we are Duke Nightkiss's men, we're all on the same side! Don't mind her, I know what she knows! You must be here on a mission, so feel free to look around, it will definitely be of some help to your mission!"

Seeing the goblin with its survival instinct blazing, Puji nodded in a pretentious manner, even though she didn't know who Duke Nightkiss was.

However, Lin Jun is quite conflicted now.

Before coming here, I didn't expect that the information brokers here would actually be two demons. It's a bit too blatant. It's hard to believe that no one here has ever discovered this.

And now that Dylan knows about his daughter, what are they going to do with these two?

This goblin is so cooperative...

……

When Dylan left, Lin Jun thoughtfully locked the door for them.

The two demons were unconscious in the basement filled with hallucinogenic spores. If no one else forced their way in, they would probably be unconscious for a whole day.

They weren't killed because of the little guy in the tavern. Dylan's approach to them was traceable, and killing them might just create more trouble.

If the intelligence agents are killed, the other side will most likely investigate. But if the two people survive and feel they've been taken advantage of by their colleagues, they'll probably choose to remain silent.

Anyway, we're leaving Silver Sand Bay soon, so we're not afraid of their petty revenge.

The two demons had a lot of information, including everything about Silver Sand Bay.

What truly caught Lin Jun's attention was one of their latest missions—to monitor Tian Qi, the newly appointed garrison commander of Yinsha Bay.
