This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 214, Section 213: Rescue
Rescuing someone lost in a shattered space is almost impossible under any circumstances.

Forced rescue often means tragic sacrifices and an unknown outcome.

Before making a rescue decision, we must weigh whether the person waiting for rescue is really worth such a high price.

For Lin Jun, it was clearly worth it, since the Puji were least afraid of sacrifice!
A plop dashed between the visual "walls," crashing violently into a pile of floating clods of earth. The next instant, its figure appeared out of thin air on the upside-down stone floor in the distance!

Continuing the sprint, it leaped over three seemingly discontinuous spatial fragments in succession... Then, as it stepped into the edge of the fourth area, it suddenly fell into nothingness, severing the connection.

The other one didn't follow the ground at all, but kept flying towards the center. After a few "blinks", it crashed into a rock and died.

The exploratory Puji kept sacrificing themselves, but more Puji continued to pour into the broken lower levels.

In the tunnel connecting the middle and lower levels, the Puji even formed a long queue.

"Boss, what's going on?"

Outside the tunnel, Norris sat in the gida, which was too big for him to fit in, and could only ask the boss for advice.

"Stop fooling around, go play with Xiao Hei. They're rescuing your little pig sister over here, you can't help!"

"Oh……"

After sending Norris away, Lin Jun continued to focus intently on sending the Puji to their deaths!

Under this almost exhaustive and barbaric exploration, the sound of "plop plop" footsteps echoed in almost every corner of the fragmented lower space.

The little pig stood blankly on the platform, with figures flitting about above, to her left, and to her lower right.

She gritted her teeth and chased after Keith all the way to this place. Although she successfully killed him, she didn't know how to get back.

Worse still, her attempts to find a way out only trapped her in an even deeper area.

After witnessing the demise of a block, she dared not move around freely anymore.

At first, they would try throwing stones to see if they could hear a sound in the space. If they could hear it, it meant that the other side had not collapsed yet.

However, not every area will be nearby; apart from the void, you won't hear the sound from blocks that are far away.

After exploring all possible routes, Louisa found herself in a dead end.

The next options are either to wait for rescue or risk their lives to explore.

Her choice was to stay put as long as possible, since the boss really didn't realize she was going to risk everything for a sliver of hope.

In the dungeon, there is no rotation of the sun and moon; time here is a blurred, blunt knife, slowly cutting away at her will and strength.

In order to endure for a few more days, she even had to force herself to swallow the nauseating purple blood, despite its foul stench.

This disgusting half-eaten insect leg in my hand is my last reserve. When that's gone... it'll be time to gamble everything.

Even so, she did not let go of the stone in her hand that kept hurting her.

This isn't a stone; it's her pledge to completely integrate into the leader's team!

It was the only rope she could grab onto to climb upwards, a rope she had no other way out!
Aside from the leader, no one understands the Puji's strength, or rather... potential, better than she, who has always fought alongside them!
Boss... has the potential to become a regional overlord!

She didn't want to be an unknown person; she craved power and authority!
Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken on that life-or-death mission to find the Holy Scripture!

She had missed an opportunity to go further, but now, a second chance was in her burning palms!

Even if the stone were to burn her palms, she would never let go!
Fortunately, this time, fate finally smiled upon her!

puff--

A Puji fell straight down from above, landing firmly on the platform she was on. Instantly, all the Puji in the lower area stopped exploring and turned back the way they came.

Then, all the puffs rushed towards the path that the lucky one had just walked!

Plop, plop.

Before long, a straight path leading to the little pig appeared.

That wasn't safe enough, so more than a dozen piglets swarmed around and tied themselves to the piglet, wrapping it up tightly.

This way, any threat will kill the outer layer of piglets first, leaving the little pig enough time to react.

There was no extremely unlucky situation like the block collapsing. After more than ten minutes, the pig was finally brought back to safety.

"Little Pig! Well done! Go and get some rest!" One Puji stepped on another Puji mushroom hat and patted the little pig on the shoulder.

At the same time, several nimble fungal tendrils, as if they had found a treasure, gently and quickly rolled up the sunstone fragment tightly held in her hand.

"Boss... is there... is there any blood?" The slightly weak pig asked for food.

"certainly……"

Ok……

As for fresh monster blood, there's no shortage; we can just bring some from the amethyst next door.

But... the little pig has just made such a great contribution, so its food and treatment should be improved.

The demon corpses we encountered earlier... have all been decomposed.

Go and draw some blood from the cave dwellers?

That's a bit far, I reckon it'll take most of the day...

I should have kept some "blood packs" (referring to blood donation centers).

Lin Jun's "gaze" subconsciously swept across the entire No. 3 mushroom garden.

It swept past the little black dog, who was sleeping soundly, munching and chewing on the ground, without pausing for a moment, and finally landed on Norris, who was sitting on his leash.
"Norris," Lin Jun said kindly, "you've been cooped up in your Jida all this time, it must be inconvenient for you to move around, right? Go to the Mushroom House and get ready. While we have some free time, I'll strengthen your cold resistance and upgrade your Jida for you!"

"Upgrade to Gidda?" Norris exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes, Jida is a bit too clumsy now. I plan to add a jumping skill to its feet to increase its mobility.”

"It is a bit bulky, but you really understand, boss! Thanks, boss!"

"Not at all, by the way, I need to use some of your blood, is that alright?" Lin Jun's tone was relaxed and natural as she casually mentioned it.

"My blood?" Norris was taken aback, wondering what he needed the blood for.

"Don't worry~" Lin Jun immediately dispelled his doubts, her voice full of convincing ease, "It's just a matter of opening and closing your eyes, you won't even feel any pain, it's about the same as last time."

“Well… okay.” Norris scratched his head, thinking that having a cooler and more agile mech made this “small request” seem like no problem at all.

……

……

……

Norris upgraded the mech, the pig had a good meal, and Norris got a fragment. The happy ending was achieved for everyone!
Except for that black dragon man who was woken up by the cold again...
