This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 210, Page 209: Keith's Call for Peace

Beneath the ancient castle, a mushroom forest is slowly growing, the low temperature extending its growth time to over a month.

However, in this mushroom forest, which is still in its infancy, there are three mushroom houses that Lin Jun has accelerated with her magic.

Compared to the mushroom houses in the Amethyst Dungeon, these mushroom houses are shorter and thicker, and the entrances are no longer open, but rather a flexible slit that can be opened.

This design provides better insulation; otherwise, Norris would have to stay in the Gidari even to sleep.

Little Black's sleepy head peeked out from a mushroom house.

When she woke up, she found that the little mushroom in her arms had been attacked by an unknown person and was dead and out of service. The murderer was cruel, and most of the mushroom hat was missing, which made her wake up from the cold.

"Boss! It's cold! *splat*"

Tsk!
Don't go around chewing up the heater in the house!
Two burrowing creatures came outside. Little Black, who had already woken up, simply stopped sleeping, picked up the creatures, and first stuffed his head into Norris's Mushroom House, but didn't see anyone.

"You're looking for Norris? He went over there." A puffy creature pointed in a direction for the little black creature with its tentacles.

Before leaving, Xiao Hei reminded Lin Jun, "Liang Jingjing, it's time to move!"

"Okay, okay, I remember, I remember."

She wanted Lin Jun to move her sparkly treasure from her five-story nest over there.

It's quite troublesome to reason with them.

There were so many of them that they all needed to be stored in a fat otaku bag, but we couldn't let the fat otaku bag walk down the stairs, otherwise it would probably get eaten halfway down.

The only option is to have the bats carried down from the crevice in batches. Fortunately, the pressure has been low recently, so we can easily squeeze out some extra energy to do this.

Having been in the Stone Fortress Underground City for some time now, Lin Jun has pretty much figured out the situation.

Keith is trapped in the middle level of this underground city!

After the fierce battle in the deep zone, with the Sword Saint casually slashing and killing, and after these few upheavals, Qi Si was clearly running out of steam.

When Puji first came in, they were able to fight a defensive battle and use harassment tactics. It was thought that it would be a long tug-of-war, but they have already shown signs of weakness after only a few days.

The tumor in the middle layer was replaced by fungal carpet, and its territory gradually shrank. The only remaining evil eye was neither useful nor not useful.

It's safe to say that there's nothing that can be done.

Of course, Keith's rapid decline was also largely due to three key generals.

Little Black is afraid of the cold and lacks enthusiasm, but he is willing to follow Norris. Norris, who is addicted to driving the Jida, is very active in causing trouble for Qisi everywhere.

The most hardworking one was the little pig, who slept little and did a lot, throwing himself into battle as soon as he opened his eyes every day. I don't know why he became so proactive, even though he clearly doesn't like drinking Qisi blood.

As for the Demon Tribe...

Lin Jun originally planned to extend the fungal carpet over there and use both soft and hard tactics to bring it under her control, but... it's too cold outside!

The fungal carpet can only be spread to the top layer; it really can't withstand going any further unless the [Cold Resistance] is upgraded by another level. Otherwise, forget about using any strong methods.

However, if a hard approach doesn't work for now, a softer one can be used. According to the scouts' feedback, calling the outside world barren is an understatement. This demon tribe seems to survive entirely on the resources of the underground city.

In that case, there's more room for maneuver, and there's no need to rush.

Let's deal with Keith first!

... Several cattle and horses responsible for spreading the mushroom carpet moved along at a leisurely pace, the huge mushroom caps trembling rhythmically, and the fine spores quietly diffused in the air like dust.

In the distance, an invisible ogre briefly surveyed the area before quietly retreating without even summoning troops to harass it. It seemed that Keith had completely given up on the struggle for territory.

Although Qisi still seems to hold half the power, for every step Puji takes forward, Qisi has to take a step back. Once Lin Jun finds the location of its command tower, the game will be over.

To be honest, Lin Jun was still a little puzzled. Even if the strength was insufficient, shouldn't they have tried their best to struggle? Considering Qi Si's intelligence, Lin Jun had to think about what it was planning.

Considering the fleshy ball mentioned last time, whatever its purpose, it's always best to prevent the enemy from doing what they want.

Lin Jun dispatched many Puji to the area where the castle intersected with the upper level, effectively blocking Qisi's way out.

It didn't take long for Lin Jun to locate Qi Si's command center.

The location is a little odd.

Although the underground area of ​​the castle is vast, it largely retains the rugged appearance of a primitive cave.

Only here is it clearly an extension of the castle structure into the ground—the broken brick and stone floor, the ruins of a huge, decaying door frame, and metal components scattered around that can be vaguely identified as the remains of some kind of massive magical instrument.

Inside the hollow door frame, an enormous, living ball of flesh was suspended in mid-air, pierced by two thick metal pillars!
[Race: Keith-Heart]

[Level: LV63]

[Racial Talent: Keith's Procreation]

【技能：精神统合LV9、眷属操控LV8、寒冷抗性LV8……精神扩散LV7、精神系魔法LV6、物理抗性LV5……分体LV3……】

Surprisingly, it's called "heart" instead of "brain".

However, this is undoubtedly Keith's command tower, not to mention the skills that are obviously highly overlapping with his own.

This was the first time Lin Jun had encountered someone other than herself who didn't have any of the five-dimensional attributes on their character panel.

But... what's with its design?

It looks like a skewered piece of meat, which doesn't look easy to move. In that respect, the mushroom itself is much more convenient.

Anyway, now that it's been found, it's doomed!
Surrounding the heart were probably all of Keith's remaining troops.

A giant evil eye, and more than seven hundred different kinds of Qis.

This number is quite pitiful compared to its heyday.

On their side, besides the hundreds of Puji sent to block the gate, there were over a thousand fighting Puji present!
Not to mention they even brought over the fake lizardman, Little Black, and Little Pig!
It's fair to say that the outcome was already decided before the battle even began.

Unless... a god descends to save this fleshy ball nailed to the pillar.

Just as Lin Jun was preparing to issue the attack order and send her neighbor to his final rest in peace, a thought was transmitted through a certain Puji.

"War, hope, peace, coexistence."

Is it a mental magic spell?
I don’t know if it was born with it or learned it, but given how incoherent its speech is, it’s probably born with it!
Although I already knew from the two demon descendants that this thing could communicate with me telepathically, it still felt ridiculous to actually see a ball of flesh trying to talk to me!

I wonder if I can hear the other side's "dying screams" in real time through this voice communication channel?

"Attack!" The command was given without hesitation, instantly spreading throughout the entire fungal network!
