This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 155. Eloquence
It seems the Adventurers' Guild leader has changed.

Not long after Far arrived in Silent Wind Town, Lin Jun noticed him.

It was impossible not to notice; the carriage, filled with dazzling arrays of magic formations, was so bright that Lin Jun, who was still studying basic magic formations, couldn't even look at it directly.

[Name: Far Isaacs]

[Race: Human]

【Level: 28】

Name: Lillian

[Race: Half-elf]

【Level: 55】

This kind of useless young master gives off the vibe of a powerful combat maid...

Now most of the Silent Wind Town is within Lin Jun's field of vision, but this is not actually Lin Jun's intention. His fungal carpet has only spread a little outside the underground city gate.

It was simply that the people of Dumbwind Town came to the underground city every day to collect large quantities of mushrooms, and naturally some spores grew into mycelium and mushrooms on their wooden houses.

When the number of mushrooms within a certain range reaches a certain level, a field of vision is naturally formed.

The delay is more severe simply because it is not connected to the fungal carpet.

Places like the Adventurers' Guild, where mushrooms can't grow, are blind spots for Lin Jun in Silent Wind Town.

However, he didn't actually intend to monitor the entire Silent Wind Town.

His attention was still focused on the deeper areas for the time being. As long as the Adventurers' Guild didn't bother him, he didn't care who their leader was.

Lin Jun has already occupied eight caves in the deeper area, and has numbered them from Cave 1 to Cave 8 in order.

Because the caves require Puji to defend, the number of Puji in the expedition team decreases with each cave they conquer. Now, Louisa's expedition team only has half of what it started with.

Reduced firepower also means slower progress in clearing the dungeon. In the latest cave, we've been locked in a stalemate with a group of snake monsters for two days now.

However, the location of the core of the underground city is still nowhere to be found, and Lin Jun estimates that it will probably not be found anytime soon.

In this case, the importance of cave dwellers becomes even greater.

However, the Yellow Book, which was responsible for searching for cavemen, made no contribution during this period.

It's time to give them a push...

……

……

……

[Norris, you betrayed me!]
The few words, though few, appear as if carved with a knife on the book, revealing the unbelievable nature of the yellowed cover.

"I...how can I..."

[Then why did you close the door for me just now?]
[Why?]
Norris glanced at the bull's head, which had been carried far away after their defeat, and offered a somewhat helpless explanation:

"It's what the boss asked for. If I don't close it, won't you just pull the minotaur's soul away again, just like last time!"

Last time, Norris cleverly defeated the Minotaur by commanding two puppet minotaurs and Puji, and by using the Yellow Book to provoke its spirit, causing the Minotaur to lose its judgment in a fit of rage.

The minotaur was barely clinging to life when the Yellow Book suddenly intervened, draining his soul and killing him instantly!
Remembering his boss's request, Norris closed the Yellow Book before the Minotaur were about to be defeated.

The minotaur is fine now, but the Yellow Book is furious… [The boss's demands? Are you trying to starve me to death?]
[Norris, I've been starving for so long, and I've only eaten a tiny bit of food.]
[And I didn't forget to share it with you last time!]
Norris scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. The Yellow Book hadn't forgotten to share its spoils with him when it devoured souls last time, and he could still vaguely recall the fulfilling feeling after his attributes were boosted—it was captivating.

"But, the boss said..."

[Norris, you're so foolish!]
[We worked hard to kill the minotaurs, so what's wrong with eating a little bit occasionally?]
[And who tells you stories every day?]
[Do you know how many pages I secretly wasted making up stories just to make you happy?]
[And you? I just want to avoid going hungry!]
[Norris, haven't you ever gone hungry? You know what that feels like!]
[That feeling of emptiness and pain, I'm suffering from it right now!]
[You can at least starve to death, but I can't. I can only endure this torment forever. Can you understand?]
[Waaaaaah]
Looking at the words in the yellow book, Norris was speechless for a long time.

Although Huang Bishu is usually arrogant and his typing is smug, he is actually very good to himself.

The story, told every three days, brought him a joy he had never experienced before.

Not only that, the yellow book would also chat with him, just like a friend.

In combat, he also received a lot of help from the Yellow Book, which used its reconnaissance capabilities to help Norris avoid risks in advance each time.

Most importantly, he had actually experienced what it felt like to be starving to death, and he never imagined that Huang Pishu had been living such a life all along.

"Then, next time, if it's just one occasionally..."

"Huh? I won't... starve to death, which means... it's okay if I don't eat!"

A hoarse, withered, echoing, distorted voice suddenly rang out from Norris's chest.

It was that voice chatter that Lin Jun had Norris wear, but which he rarely used afterward, and which hung around his neck like a scarf.

Norris, who had almost disobeyed his boss's orders, stood frozen in place with a long face, not daring to speak.

The writing on the yellow book was deleted so quickly that, just half a second later, the pages were as clean as new.

But it was obviously too late.

Lin Jun's decision to divert some of his attention to Norris was no joke; every move the Yellow Book made was under his watchful eye, though he had deliberately let it go before.

Norris suddenly felt that control of a pup that had been under his command had been taken back.

The creature stepped forward, extended its mycelial tentacles, and took the yellow book from Norris's hand.

Norris dared not disobey in the slightest, and the Yellow Book had already begun to be filled with words.

[Boss! It's all a misunderstanding!]
I really didn't mean to steal the food!
[I'm just teasing little Norris]
[Let's test if he's taken your instructions to heart, boss.]
[See, this test shows that he didn't fully comply!]
Norris: ? ? ?

"I told you to come down... you haven't achieved anything... and you're still resorting to underhanded tactics?"

With that, he rolled up the yellow book and headed towards Cave 1, apparently to return it to Little Black.

[Boss! Wait a minute!]
Give me a chance!
Can good deeds atone for past mistakes?
There was a brief silence.

"I can... consider it."

[I...I have a clue!]
[I have intelligence!]
[The direction the largest passage in Cave 3 connects to is where the creature you described is located!]
The Yellow Book then quickly described the appearance, number, and behavior of the cave dwellers it had discovered, indicating that it was not making things up.

Puji tapped the mushroom cap.

"knew."

They then took it with them.

[Why?]
[I provided a clue! I contributed to the mushroom farm!]
[You just promised me, how could you do this?]
"The crime of seducing Norris... is forgiven. Now it's... the crime of knowing about it... and failing to report it!"

[?!]
Two days later, Norris received a yellow booklet announcing his great weight loss success, along with a voice message from Puji, whose voice was still unpleasant but who could speak fluently.
