This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 194, Section 193: The Second Battle Against the King of Puji
"Why would it be in the deep zone?" Fifteen was still somewhat puzzled.

"Maybe he hid after you injured him last time," Aiding offered as an excuse.

Lin Jun still didn't intend to reveal the secret of the fungal carpet's vision, so in the passage, the group encountered two Puji guarding the entrance.

The way reconnaissance units were arranged in the passageway reminded everyone of Keith from before.

Sword Saint Elvein ignored the two faintly auraed creatures and continued walking without stopping.

However, out of caution, Fifteen flashed his sword and cleanly cut them in two, eliminating the threat.

The moment the group followed the Sword Saint into the cave, they were greeted by the Puji Legion, who were already in full battle array!
The Puji on the fungal carpet had clearly gathered in a very short time, blocking the entire entrance to the passage and trapping everyone in the narrow area of ​​the cave entrance.

There were no meat shields among those present; apart from the elite soldiers around the knight, everyone else was cannon fodder.

The so-called arrangement to control the "King of Puji" is not to simply send the knight over for nothing; such a clumsy performance would only backfire!

On the contrary, it must, under the current circumstances, exert all its strength and with the determination to kill the Sword Saint, launch the fiercest counterattack!
What if the Sword Saint is actually defeated or even killed?
That would mean that humans pose no threat to us at all, and there's nothing to worry about!

Without the slightest hesitation, the order was given! Several tumbling, self-destructing Puji were the first to rush out of the formation. At the same time, from the shadows on the cave ceiling, a group of upside-down bat Puji swooped down and pounced on everyone's heads!
however--

The Sword Saint didn't even move.

He merely flicked his wrist, and a sword light suddenly shone forth. The trajectory of his sword strike was impossible to track. In the blink of an eye, all the charging self-destructing sprites and bat sprites froze in their tracks.

Immediately afterwards, their bodies silently split in two along an absolutely smooth cut, scattering across the fungal carpet, without even having time to use [Self-Destruct]—this was an attack speed and range far exceeding fifteen!
The Sword Saint, sword in hand, slowly stepped forward.

"Master!" Fifteen suddenly shouted urgently.

The Sword Saint tilted his head slightly, looking puzzled.

"Please leave the 'King of Puji' to me!" Fifteen's eyes burned with intense fighting spirit and unwillingness.

"Alright." The Sword Saint's reply was extremely concise.

The moment the words left his mouth, Elwayne's figure had already vanished!
All that could be seen was a dazzling silver crescent moon that suddenly burst forth in the dark cave!

This crescent moon was not stationary; rather, it plowed through the innermost and densest cluster of puffy creatures in an instant at an incredible speed!

At this moment, the Puji had only just begun to react to Lin Jun's order to "attack with all forces"!
The magic within the mushroom cannon was still gathering, and the hallucinogenic puffball began to squeeze the mushroom cap.

However, it was all too late.

Apart from a few mushroom cannons that were positioned extremely far away and were fortunate enough not to be covered by the moon arc, which fired a few shots that were inaccurate due to the distance, the rest were not affected.

All the menacing Puji Legion surrounding the expert group, whether scaled or scaleless, were neatly cleaved in two by the Sword Saint's fluid and incredibly fast charge.

Like harvested wheat stalks, swathes of dead bodies lay sprawled on the fungal carpet.

The scene was as swift as the one in the previous Qisi Cave, the only difference being that there was no splashing purple liquid inside Puji's body.

Suddenly, only a few scattered Poojis remained in the cave, no longer posing a threat, along with the knight and his elite Poojis.

Although they had seen him several times, the Sword Saint's strength still shocked Aidin in the team.

Inanna pursed her lips, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable from the sudden disappearance of numerous signals.

Fifteen sighed inwardly at the gap between himself and his master, then drew his twin swords from his waist and looked towards the "King of Puji" in the distance. He wasn't the kind of person obsessed with winning or losing, but last time... the fight was just too frustrating!
"Don't forget, we need to keep them alive," the swordsman reminded him, having already sheathed his sword.

He nodded thrice, his gaze sharp as torches, locked onto his target, and shot out like an arrow released from a bow!

His speed was extremely fast. However, after witnessing the Sword Saint's terrifying power of almost teleporting and clearing the field with a single sword strike, Fifteen's sprint, though fierce, showed an unattainable gap.

Even so, it was enough to beat the Cavaliers, so Lin Jun didn't relax at all.

At the command, ten elite soldiers stepped forward with a thud!
"Still trying to use that trick? You underestimate me!"

[Shrinking Earth LV7]

His figure disappeared like a streak of light, and when he reappeared, he had already landed steadily in front of the fat otaku Puji!
The ten elite Poji behind them had already been neatly cut into pieces, preventing them from using their [infrasonic attack] at all.

This time, Fifteen even replaced all the spare potion bottles with tough monster hides in advance—even if it would cause the potion's effects to dissipate faster, he would never give the opponent a chance to use the same trick again!
However, when he looked up, Knight Puji had already puffed out air and flown a distance away, leaving only Fat Puji behind.

Boom——! ! !
A deafening explosion erupted, accompanied by flames and debris! The powerful shockwave even caused the knight in mid-air to tumble!
Although Fifteen, who was at the center of the explosion, was not injured thanks to the pendant's shield, he was still covered in dust and dirt.

That's it again!

It’s this feeling again!

This sleazy "King of Puji"!
Without pausing, Fifteen continued to follow closely behind using the [Swimming Step].

He noticed the narrow hole in the distance; this little creature was undoubtedly trying to squeeze through it again, just like last time. He couldn't let it succeed.

He bit open the pouch, and the spicy medicinal liquid rushed into his throat, causing his speed to increase dramatically.

The knight, his scarlet cloak billowing, rolled into a ball and just as he plunged into the small hole, Fifteen had already caught up.

Upon entering, Fifteen saw that the cloak had been hung on the rock once again, and before he could take it off, he hurriedly took off his shield to try to protect his "King of Puji"!
Even after the battle had progressed this far, seeing it clumsily repeating the same mistakes, Fifteen's tightly clenched lips couldn't help but twitch upwards slightly.

Despite being so intelligent, it's still a monster at heart, unable to learn from its past mistakes.

"it's over!"

Fifteen wrists flipped, and the two swords crossed in front of his chest.

[Shrinking Earth LV7]

The figure disappeared again!

clang--! ! !
A piercing clang of metal clashing against metal exploded in the cramped cave! Sparks flew!

The two swords clashed, and another sword mark appeared on the dragon scale shield, but only one.

Another sword strike landed precisely on Puji's buttocks. Whether it was intentional or not, the location was exactly the same as last time.

"solved!"

It wasn't solved, it was solved.

Beyond the view obscured by the cloak, at the end of this shallow hole, there was no escape route at all, but a twisted, deep void... spatial rift!
"What?!" Fifteen's victorious smile froze instantly as he missed his footing!
