This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 273 272. Resistance
On the earth, the fungal carpet stretches to the horizon, with towering giant mushroom trees reaching into the clouds in an endless range, and countless mushrooms busily moving among them, creating a vibrant mushroom kingdom scene.

"Norris, listen to me, drills are all show and no substance! It's much more practical to install another set of mushroom cannons!" The boss grumbled incessantly at Norris's feet.

Norris simply checked on Jida's condition in silence, without replying.

Suddenly, the sky was swallowed up by rolling dark clouds!

Immediately afterwards, thick, green raindrops poured down!

No! Those aren't raindrops!
It's slime!

Countless slimes crashed to the ground, frantically devouring the fungal carpet and dissolving it. Even the giant mushroom trees, under the corrosive liquid, let out a tooth-grinding groan and collapsed with a crash!

The mushroom farm was instantly plunged into annihilation!
Norris's eyes sharpened, and he swiftly flipped and leaped into the gibbons.

The mushroom cannon fired precisely, blasting the approaching slimes into a sticky slurry!
Roar--!
The Slime King's massive, mountain-like body noticed this sole resister and, with a destructive force, crashed down on Jida!
"It's over! It's all over! The mushroom farm is going to be destroyed! We're doomed!" The eldest brother huddled beside the ruins of the collapsed mushroom trees, his mushroom cap trembling, letting out a desperate cry.

"I'm still here!" Norris roared, his voice echoing through the heavens!

Instead of retreating, Jida advanced, and the drill on his right arm, which the boss had scorned, now erupted with a piercing shriek, transforming into a death whirlwind as he swung it out fiercely!

The drill bit plunged into the body of the Slime King with unstoppable force, tearing, penetrating, and finally completely pulverizing it!
The sticky liquid poured down like a torrential rain.

"Phew... It's over." Norris wearily crawled out of the Jida, wiped the sticky substance off his face, and looked at the sky after the disaster.

"Norris! My hero!" The leader pounced and hugged Norris's leg tightly, loudly confessing, "I was wrong! Drill is the strongest! Thanks to you! You are the savior of Mushroom Garden!"

Little Black and Louisa emerged from some corner of the ruins, cheering and hugging Norris around the waist, saying in unison, "Norris, you are the strongest in Mushroom Garden, we'll all be counting on you from now on!"

Norris smiled and reassured everyone, completely unaware that an inconspicuous green mushroom had sprouted on a patch of remaining fungal carpet not far away.

Suddenly, Louisa, who was kneeling and hugging Norris's waist, raised her head, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and pleaded, "Norris, hero... could you do us another small favor?"

“Of course!” Norris replied instinctively.

"Then I won't hold back!" Before Louisa finished speaking, she suddenly opened her mouth, revealing sharp teeth, and bit down on Norris's neck!
"Me too!" Little Black cheered excitedly, its eyes shining with excitement, and it began to pry at Norris's silvery-white scales with its two paws!
"Wait! No, no, no!"

Norris broke free from the two men in a disheveled state, scrambling back to Jida and running away as fast as he could!
"Don't run! Hero!" Little Black and Louisa screamed excitedly, giving chase. The three figures quickly disappeared into the ruined mushroom garden, raising a cloud of dust in their wake.

As the noise subsided, the green mushroom on the fungal carpet, just as it had appeared, silently blended into the carpet and disappeared without a trace.

……

New rules at Mushroom Farm: No defaming the boss's image, not even in dreams!

Shift your attention away from Norris, who is sitting in the mushroom house with his eyes closed and brows furrowed.

After numerous attempts, Lin Jun has begun to grasp the basics of using [spiritual guidance].

First, regarding connection, hallucinogenic spores are not necessary; they are merely a means of building a bridge between souls.

Just like when she invaded Norris's dream, Lin Jun used the fungal network as a channel.

However, not every infiltration will result in encountering a dream. If the target does not enter a dream, the consciousness will sink into darkness. Hallucinogenic spores, on the other hand, can ensure that a "stage" that can be manipulated will inevitably appear.

Furthermore, regarding control over dreams, Lin Jun cannot create things out of thin air in dreams, at least not at LV1.

What we can do now is to alter the behavior patterns of NPCs in dreams, like having the little black guy and pig in Norris's dream teach him a lesson, or like before when the bully's henchmen in his dream turned against him.

The difficulty of this operation seems to be related to the opponent's mental strength.

Take the little pig as an example. In her dream, she is commanding tens of thousands of Puji troops to drag the world into a sea of ​​fire.

Lin Jun attempted to seize some control of Puji, but in the initial stage, she could only win over a small group of people.

Furthermore, Louisa immediately began to consider the reasons for this group of Puji's rebellion and calmly directed her other Puji subordinates to quell the rebellion.

This high degree of mental stability greatly slowed down Lin Jun's progress in seizing control.

However, as the effects of [Mental Guidance] continued to deepen, on the eve of Louisa's awakening, Lin Jun finally succeeded in turning nearly a third of the Puji to the enemy, dragging her conquest into the quagmire of suppressing the rebellion.

But in Xiao Hei's dream, it was a different story. Even in her dream, she was guarding her sparkling gems, only in her dream there were many more sparkling gems than in reality, and they were all the finest gems.

According to Lin Jun's thinking, Xiao Hei was silly and simple-minded, so he shouldn't be able to stop her from being invaded by her dreams.

Indeed, Lin Jun easily gained control of the demons in the dream and manipulated them into trying to steal Xiao Hei's treasure.

However, the result was unexpected, both reasonable and absurd.

Faced with the swarming raiders, Little Black displayed an astonishing ferocity.

She ruthlessly slaughtered all the "actors" controlled by Lin Jun!
Its resistance to mental intrusion is even more thorough than that of a pig.

When Lin Jun's consciousness left her, she had already crawled back into the pile of dazzling gems, contentedly continuing to count them. In fact, since all the other NPCs had been killed, she felt even more at ease.

However, it is clear that their approaches to resistance are not entirely the same.

Moreover, it can be seen that IQ does not seem to affect mental defenses.

And on the second day.

Norris looked a little tired when he woke up, but he was still in much better shape than the bully.

The piglet continues to exercise disciplinedly, and it's unclear whether it has been affected.

Xiao Hei's reaction was quite obvious; she became even fiercer towards the demons who approached her mushroom house, extending the distance at which her growls were triggered from ten meters to twenty meters.

However, Lin Jun felt that her behavior was a foolish attempt to bring her dream into reality, and therefore had almost no reference value...

Overall, although it is a rare soul-related skill, its biggest use so far is simply to amuse Lin Jun.

Torture and kill someone repeatedly in a dream might drive them insane, but why not just kill them outright?
Perhaps there will be more surprises as you level up?

It would be even better if the default image wasn't a mushroom every time you entered...
