This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 296, Section 295: The End
On the frigid ice plains, several lizardmen were fleeing for their lives, stumbling and wading through the snow.

They were among the first to break away. The original group had a dozen or so members, a mix of lizardmen and a few half-demons, but now only a few of them remain.

Puff puff puff——

The sound of those terrifying mushroom monsters running across the snow filled my ears, but I couldn't see a single enemy in sight.

"Damn invisible monster! Damn it!" Gora squeezed out the last bit of air from his lungs and desperately moved his heavy legs, hoping to run half a step faster than his companions.

At this moment, he was incredibly jealous of those half-demons he had once looked down upon. At the beginning of the collapse, many winged half-demons took flight and fled, disappearing into the gray sky; while some half-demons, thanks to their joint structures adapted to the snowy environment, were able to move swiftly across the frozen ground.

Unlike them, these lizardmen, whose chances of survival in this desperate situation are extremely slim.

"Ah! No—! Help me!!" The last lizardman was suddenly tripped by something invisible, and his terrified cry for help was heart-wrenching.

However, no one gave him a second glance; they just kept their heads down and ran.

Stopping now will only harm yourself.

The familiar screams and the muffled thuds of being dragged into the snow kept echoing in her ears, and Gora didn't even have the courage to turn around.

He has a wife and children; he has to go back to his tribe!
I don't know how long I ran, but all I could hear was my own voice.

Completely exhausted, Gora finally stopped, leaning on his knees, panting heavily as he looked back. There was no one behind him, only the vast snowfield.

"At least... at least I escaped..."

puff--

puff-

Rounded footprints appeared out of thin air on the snow around him, one after another...

Despair overwhelmed her, and Gora collapsed to the ground, giving up all resistance.

A fat, lazy guy strolled leisurely from a distance, his tentacles coiling around Gora and easily stuffing him into his swollen belly, which emitted hallucinogenic spores.

There, Gora was finally reunited with his friends.

When she regained consciousness, Gora found herself in a crowded, foul-smelling dungeon, with a large number of half-demons and lizardmen crammed into a small space.

Above, several upside-down, buzzing, strange creatures emitted a faint but continuous heat, dispelling the chill of the dungeon.

Although he was spared from freezing, the murky air, the lack of space to stretch his limbs, and the shouting prisoners made him feel suffocated.

A little further away, a lizardman and a half-demon suddenly clashed, and it looked like they were about to start fighting.

At the dungeon entrance, several puji flew in and dragged the troublemakers away without a word. When they were thrown back, the two were covered in frost, half-dead from the cold, and only had the strength to shiver...

Later that evening, the Puji scattered a large number of mushrooms, and Gora, who was already starving, didn't care whether they were poisonous or not, and grabbed them and devoured them.

After filling his stomach, he slumped in the cold corner, staring blankly at the top of the dungeon like the other prisoners, quietly waiting for the unknown future.

……

There aren't enough cells in the prison!
Nearly six hundred prisoners were crammed into several hastily dug dug dug cells.

Half of them were captured after being seriously wounded on the battlefield, while the other half were captured by the Puji hunting team while on the run.

Not all who fled survived. Many succumbed to their wounds, while others escaped alone into the depths of the icy plains and were frozen into ice sculptures.

Of course, a very small number of lucky individuals with special abilities managed to escape. The vast majority of these were half-demons with wings, for having wings made one superior...

In this battle, the demon race also paid a price, with more than 20 demon warriors killed and more than 70 wounded.

Although Lin Jun's requirement for most of the demon descendants was to remotely command the Puji battle from the extreme distance, there is no true safety on the battlefield, and any accident is normal.

Fortunately, the number of casualties was within expectations, and the wounded were not a problem thanks to the repairing effect of the fungal hyphae and the ointment that had been prepared in advance.

After treating the wounded, the demons began to help clean up the battlefield and collect spoils of war.

From the corpses that had already begun to grow mushrooms, the still-intact equipment was stripped off, while the cold corpses were left behind to become new nutrients for the fungal carpet.

Although the tribe was poor, they could occasionally find one or two rare pieces of equipment that shimmered with a faint light and had attributes or skills among the mountains of loot.

Lin Jun, in turn, obtained what he needed. [The Seven Deadly Sins - Greed Triggered]

[Plunder Skill: Demon Common Language LV8→LV10]

[Plunder Skill: Physical Resistance LV8→LV9]

[Plunder Skill: Cold Resistance LV8→LV9]

[Plunder Skill: Scale Armor LV7→LV8]

[Plunder Skill: Fire Magic LV6→LV7]

[Plunder Skill: Water Magic LV6→LV7]

……

[Plunder Skill: Charm Humans LV3]

[Plunder Skill: Seductive Kiss LV2]

[Plunder Skill: Feign Death LV1]

[Plunder Skill: Regeneration LV1]

……

……

……

Although I had almost mastered the Demon Common Language LV8 by learning from the little pig, I have now officially become a bilingual master.

With this skill alone, one could easily obtain a scholar's status in this world!
Thanks to the diversity of half-demons, the skills they plunder are incredibly varied.

What left Lin Jun speechless was that, despite not seeing any succubi on the battlefield, she still acquired several of the succubi's signature skills.

I have a feeling that there are so many half-demons, and half of them are thanks to those succubi...

But Lin Jun likes it!

Look at how many good things these bastards, despised by the empire, have contributed to him!
A quick glance revealed several interesting skills.

However, skill research can wait; Lin Jun hasn't finished collecting her "spoils of war" yet!

Those two tribes, having lost most of their defenses, were like small cakes with their outer shells peeled off, just waiting to be devoured!
Although the fungal carpet would spread in about ten days, Lin Jun still had a bad feeling.

A few days ago, two six-clawed creatures were chasing a half-demon at the edge of the fungal carpet!
After discovering the traces of the fungal carpet, the half-demons ignored it and turned away, disappearing in the direction they had come from.

Adding to the reason why the half-demon leader retreated at that time, Lin Jun couldn't help but think of her neighbor, Qi Si, who had moved.

Those are my own spoils of war!
Because they needed to break free from the creep, they dispatched the Puji Legion, which was composed primarily of demonic beings.

Little Black was among them, while Little Pig stayed behind at the base camp.

Unfortunately, when the demons arrived at the half-demon tribe, all that remained was ruins.

The half-demon leader and the hundred or so people he was protecting were still there.

At this moment, Bastardos looked much older than before, and the sparse scales on his body were even more dull, giving him a look of utter despair.

Faced with the demon race and the Puji army, they actually surrendered on their own initiative!
On the other side, the lizardman tribe remained in place, which offered some comfort to Lin Jun's wounded heart.

After easily defeating the remaining defensive force, Lin Jun parasitized over a thousand lizardmen on the spot, and then individually increased their [Cold Resistance].

They then packed up the entire tribe and took them back.

After a brief period of education, these prisoners were all marked as criminals.

They too must earn contribution points to atone for their sins and those of their families, in exchange for their freedom!
