This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 170, Page 169: A Superior Skill

An unnamed scarlet cloak with +5 agility, it's a bit long, and when you run it looks like a red carpet being dragged along, half of it trailing on the ground, covered in dirt and mycelium;

A silver pendant with +4 Agility, its name unknown. It's a bit tight, stuck under the mushroom cap with no room to spare. It's just that Puji doesn't have to breathe, otherwise this pendant would strangle Puji.
In addition, there is a life-sized shield made from ancestral dragon scales.

It's just that the figure doesn't match, otherwise, a complete set of helmet, gauntlets, rings, and the like would have been a must.

Lin Jun discovered that the skill-based equipment that adventurers preferred was not as practical as the simple attribute-based equipment for Puji.

After all, Puji is never short of skills.

And all that agility we've built up is for this moment!
Lin Jun didn't aim for his head or heart; she only intended to beat him until he was unable to get up again.

Pain immunity

[Shrinking Earth LV7]

The bladed whip pierced the earth with a whooshing sound, and before the buzzing had even stopped, Fifteen's figure, like a ghostly afterimage, landed behind the knight in an instant, accompanied by the light of his sword.

What kind of skill is that?
Lin Jun couldn't understand his movement trajectory at all.

In that brief moment, the knight only had time to barely move the Dragonscale Shield to his front.

Tsk-!
The three mycelial tentacles on the left snapped off instantly, flying away like cut rubber bands.

At the same time, a deep sword mark was fiercely imprinted on the dragon scale.

Are you kidding me?

The scales of an ancient dragon!
They can even cut this?!

Lin Jun had tested it repeatedly and found that ordinary swords and even powerful bows and crossbows could not leave a single white mark on its surface.

As a result, this was only his first real battle, and he already had this hideous scar!

In other words, without this shield, Knight Puji would have been cut in two by now.

Wow, this thing is amazing!
Lin Jun was amazed by the fierceness of Fifteen's counterattack, and Fifteen's eyes also showed undisguised surprise!
"What kind of shield is this? It was blocked by it!?"

Fifteen flipped his wrist, ready to attack again, but the knight suddenly sprang into action, dodging the subsequent slash.

In mid-air, the knight swiftly coiled his body, his scarlet cloak instantly forming a rolling ball, using the momentum to fly backward at full speed, completely escaping the range of the subsequent sword energy attacks.

【Assault Ejection LV6】

【Rolling Charge LV7】

"Don't run!"

As he chased after them, he reached for the pouch at his waist, wanting to take out a bottle of healing potion to restore his condition.

However, all that her fingertips touched was the cold, damp liquid and sharp shards of glass—the glass bottle was far too fragile against the infrasound attack.

Now that things have come to this, even without a cure, there is no turning back.

Fifteen's eyes sharpened, and he used the [Swimming Step] to its fullest extent, relentlessly pursuing the knight's tumbling and fleeing figure.

Most of the Puji couldn't keep up with their speed, and only a few landmine Puji jumped out at Lin Jun's command.

But let alone injuring Fifteen, it barely hindered his progress.

Instead of leading him any closer to the Puji army, since the surprise attack and decisive blow had failed, they decisively switched to Plan B!

The knight led Fifteen straight toward the cave, their destination—the Yellow Book's Happy Hut!
However, Lin Jun regretted it as soon as she entered the cave.

I regret wearing this cool but cumbersome cape.

The cloak clung to the protruding rock, causing the knight to suddenly jerk.

The fifteenth one seized the opportunity and unleashed a gust of sword wind.

clang--

The addition of new marks to the Dragon Scale Shield nearly broke Lin Jun's heart; this was their strongest shield!
Dropping his cloak, the knight stopped rolling and used his slingshot to leap and bound through the tunnel into a secret passage.

"A trap?"

Fifteen wasn't stupid; he had already vaguely sensed the sinister intentions of this little devil, but he didn't give up.

It's so close! It's so close to slaying it!
Just cut it before it reaches its destination!

He could clearly sense the presence of numerous demonic creatures ahead, and he was walking headlong into the center of an intricately woven web.

but--

The distance is enough! [Shrinking Earth LV7]

[Wake Jet LV5]

Fifteen and the knight used their skills almost simultaneously.

With her full-view perspective, Lin Jun could react instantly to the attacks from the fifteen behind her, even while controlling the knight Puji to escape.

Emergency escape skills worked, but not completely.

The cold blade barely grazed the knight's waist, failing to complete the waist-cutting maneuver that Fifteen had envisioned.

The knight was neatly sliced ​​off from the base of his legs and half of his torso!

But that's enough!
This is the knight's escape route!

The severed remains traced an arc in the air before being caught by an elite soldier and seamlessly inserted into a pre-dug hole.

The second strike that followed closely behind only sliced ​​the elites coming from the cave into pieces, but failed to capture the knight.

At this moment, the fifteenth person was standing in the center of the Happy House.

This kind of situation—relentlessly pursuing your opponent, just a hair's breadth away, only to let them slip away at the last moment…

This feeling of frustration made Fifteen grit her teeth.

What's even more outrageous is that the other three Puji in the room are now wriggling their bodies in unison in front of him, full of mockery.

"you this……"

Boom-! ! ! !

The eight rough stone pillars exploded simultaneously, as if the entire cave had been brutally crushed by a giant beast. The debris rained down like a storm, instantly engulfing the figure of Fifteen Sword Dancer!
Only the pendant around his neck emitted a glimmer of light at the last moment...

……

Lin Jun, who was in control of the entire battle, controlled the knight, who only had half a torso left in the cave, to retreat with a thud, while using her detection skill to scan the location of the pleasure house.

A humanoid life form is frantically digging a hole in the rubble.

As expected, she was still alive, which did not surprise Lin Jun at all.

This level of trap is at best capable of dealing with Diamond-level opponents like Little Pig; it's unlikely to kill someone at LV60+.

However, Lin Jun never intended to kill him in the first place.

Lin Jun had prepared herself for the Knight Puji to perish here, but now it seems... it's a complete victory.

As long as the knight is alive, human eyes will not leave him for the time being.

For Lin Jun, having an extra layer of disguise naturally means having an extra layer of security.

Now, as the victor, before the fifteenth one is unearthed, Lin Jun should go and collect her spoils!
At the top of the five-step staircase, the final light curtain, under the relentless bombardment of the mushroom cannons, eventually turned into specks of starlight and disappeared into the cold air.

At this point, apart from a few seriously injured people, there was no one else at the bottom of the stairs.

With the fifteenth day fast approaching and even though the hope was slim, Solalyn still organized a breakout, leading all those who could still move in an attempt to break through the blockade and retreat back to the upper levels.

In this situation, however cruel it may be, it is impossible to take the seriously injured person along.

puff-

puff-

The little feet plopped into the steps, and for some reason, the mushroom cannon didn't kill the others from a distance.

The blind church warrior dropped his shield, gripped it tightly with both hands, and swung it by instinct.

Unfortunately, it was his first time playing a blind person, and he lacked experience. Even though Puji didn't dodge, he still missed.

The mycelial tentacles wrapped around him and quickly dragged the warrior into the splashing ocean, where he disappeared without a trace.

"Hahaha……"

An adventurer with a broken leg drew his dagger.

At this moment, he recalled the terrifying rumors about the adventurers who disappeared on the fifth floor.

Rather than being shoved alive into the swamp by a plop, it's better to...
