This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 213, Section 212: The End of the Dungeon
Ah this...

Suddenly becoming invincible... I wasn't even mentally prepared for that... It feels so good!
Of course, calling it invincible is a bit of an exaggeration; more accurately, its long-standing fatal weakness has been addressed.

If I had to describe it... I've finally mastered the Golden Bell Shield technique to the point where I can retract my penis into my abdomen!

Looking at it this way, it's not entirely unacceptable that Keith ran away, considering how powerful his skill was...

It's a pity it also has a [Splitter LV3] on it; it would be great if we could catch it and split it.

Speaking of which, this skill cannot be trained and its value decreases with use, yet Keith still has LV3. Could it have been LV10 from the beginning?

How did it obtain it?

The talent you gain when leveling up?
Although she couldn't find the answer, Lin Jun's thoughts still drifted away as she encountered this kind of skill that caused her to lose levels in reverse for the first time.

Setting aside her skill gains for the moment, Lin Jun turned her attention back to the post-battle mid-level area.

The pig ran away. It's all my fault for being too soft-hearted, naive, and trusting others too much. I won't do it again!

They may have run away, but there's still hope for the Sunstone fragments; we must search for them with all our might!
After the Heart of Keith's shameful escape, taking over the remaining Keith territory was a piece of cake.

The occasional encounters with a few Qis are in a state that has degenerated to that of the most ordinary monsters, or even worse.

That silly goose that stood there looking around stupidly after being hit, not knowing how to dodge, was even worse than an ordinary monster!

Within three days of the battle, Lin Jun had taken control of most of the middle layer area, with the time mainly spent on laying the fungal carpet.

But... there was absolutely no trace of any fragments.

Although the search is still ongoing, Lin Jun has already prepared herself for the worst.

On the fourth day, they still hadn't found the fragments, but unexpectedly discovered the entrance to a tunnel leading to an unknown lower level.

It was unclear whether this was the only passage, but Lin Jun found some purple bloodstains on the stone bricks near the tunnel entrance.

Could it be the six-clawed creature that took the fragment?
Clinging to a sliver of hope, Lin Jun controlled Puji as she continued walking.

The passage was a bit damp. Lin Jun thought she was going to a place with water, and that was indeed the case, but it was a little different from what Lin Jun had imagined.

The tunnel abruptly ended, revealing a precipice ahead.

On the other side of the cliff is a huge waterfall.

But... this waterfall is upside down!
The water curtain defied gravity, rushing and roaring upwards before finally disappearing into the bottomless darkness above.

Upside down?
Puji spread its wings, ready to fly towards the waterfall for a look. However, just as Puji flew away from the cliff, its figure suddenly appeared not far away, steadily "standing" on the side wall!
No, calling it a wall isn't accurate; it seems to be a section of road embedded in the wall.

From Puji's perspective, there were bottomless abysses on both his left and right sides, but Puji did not fall in either direction. Instead, he stood steadily on the wall, as if gravity was not downward.

This reminds me of the knowledge about dungeons in PinkPuji's notebook—the structure of dungeons is most likely related to space.

So it's not upside down here, but rather the space is divided into many visually broken and misaligned small areas?
No, does it have to be this high-class?

This terrain difficulty is a bit excessive compared to the upper and middle levels, isn't it?
hum-

Suddenly, a tremor came, but it wasn't physical.

Ripples spread through the space. Just as Lin Jun was wondering what had happened, she saw that next to the inverted waterfall opposite her, an inverted rock formation with a staircase-like structure suddenly detached from the surrounding blocks without warning.

It retreated and disappeared silently.

Its original location was filled with a clump of dirt that appeared out of nowhere!

Looking around, there are actually quite a few similar clumps of soil! ? Damn!

Could it be that this lower level is collapsing?
In a way different from amethyst?
However, it doesn't seem to have affected the middle layer yet. The spatial structure of the middle layer is quite stable, and apart from the crack that appeared on the amethyst side, everything else is fine.

Anyway, Puji isn't afraid of sacrifice; such a spectacular view is probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Lin Jun decided to let loose and controlled Puji to jump and dart between the seemingly crazy fragments of space.

After traversing more than ten blocks, all I could see were a few tenacious plants and a few small insects fleeing in panic; there was no other sign of life.

Come to think of it, you might wander into a collapsed section of the map and instantly die. It would be a miracle to survive in such a hellish place.
"Boss!"

Just as Puji reached a new area, a familiar voice, filled with obvious excitement and panic, suddenly rang out in the mushroom network!
"piggy!"

Following the direction sensed by the fungal network... a clump of soil?
No, the space is disordered.

Lin Jun simply turned off all other detection and used only [Light Perception] to scan the area, finally spotting the piglet diagonally below.

She was standing on the platform below, looking up at Puji, her scarlet eyes gleaming.

If I'm not mistaken, there even seemed to be a few tears in her eyes?

Lin Jun took a good look at the little pig. Her current appearance was really quite pitiful, looking almost like a homeless person.

Covered in dust and dirt, dressed in rags, with a smear of purple blood at the corner of his mouth, he held half an insect leg in one hand, while the light shone through the gaps between his clenched fists in the other…

Ok? !

"Little pig, what you're holding... could it be..."

"Yes, boss!" Upon hearing this, the little pig carefully opened his clenched fist as if presenting a treasure.

[Artifact: Sunstone (Fragment)]

It really is!
The fragments were placed in the pig's palm, from which wisps of white smoke rose.

Opening the panel, the pig's status bar clearly shows two negative statuses: "Weak in Sunlight" and "Malnutrition".

They didn't defect, but instead got trapped here after completing their mission?!
"Little Pig! I knew I could trust you, you're the most reliable person!" Lin Jun's voice was both touched and heartbroken. "Don't move, I'm coming to get you!"

He jumped towards the platform with a plop.

call--!
The moment Puji broke free from the edge of the current area, the surrounding light seemed to be swallowed up by a giant beast, and suddenly plunged into an absolutely silent and dark environment.

That familiar feeling of weightlessness...

The connection was lost...

I knew it!

Damn it, we have to save her!

Sunstone fragments!
...and piglets.

Throughout the entire middle-level castle, all the busy Puji, whether laying fungal carpets, digging tunnels, or patrolling, all over a thousand Puji simultaneously put down their current work, turned around, and surged towards the entrance to the lower area!
"Huh? What's going on?" Norris was a little confused by the sudden movement of the puji army. "What happened? An enemy attack?"

Little Black had half its body stuck outside the door frame, its two front paws tightly gripping two burrowing puppies that were struggling to wriggle and try to join the group, while it let out a low growl.

Hang in there, little pig! The Puji Rescue Team is here!
　Two chapters will be released first, and another one will be released at midnight.
