This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 304, Section 303: The Old Man Has Arrived
In Mushroom Garden No. 3, Norris was holding a yellow book, reading its specially provided cult stories after a long time.

[Mary's 100th birthday party was so grand that all the attendees were high-ranking vampires who could be called dukes!]
They offered Mary their blessings one by one, making her the brightest star of the night.
Although Mary felt that some people were looking at her strangely, they were all important figures, and Mary couldn't just torture them as she would other lower-ranking vampires.
[Mary is happy. Her father loves her so much. For over a century, no matter how many mistakes she made, he always forgave her, stood by her side, and even prepared such a wonderful birthday party for her. He even... cried for her at the party!]
[Mary threw herself into her father's arms, moved, but he held her tightly with a strength that could break her back.]
[At the end of the banquet, Mary's father, with tears in his eyes, in front of all the guests, sucked the lifeless body of the struggling Mary into a withered corpse.]
"???"

Norris tilted his head back slightly, looking bewildered. "I don't understand, why is this happening..."

[You're right if you don't understand!]
[Let me tell you, vampires are a bunch of perverts, don't even try to understand what they're thinking!]
Norris glanced instinctively into the distance, where Louisa was intently drawing blood from a prisoner who had made a mistake, studying his skills.

She was so focused that she didn't even notice the prisoner was almost drained dry.

Or perhaps they noticed but didn't care...

Suddenly, the boss's voice echoed in my head: "Beep-beep-beep—"

"Boss, what's 'diwu'?" Norris couldn't help but ask.

"Can't you hear that? Alarm! The old man's come knocking! Everyone evacuate to your hometown immediately!"

Norris wanted to say that the alarm should be a loud "dong dong" of bells, but now was clearly not the time.

The entire No. 3 mushroom garden came alive.

First the core personnel, then the demons, and finally the prisoners led by Marshal Puji and the mushroom people.

Lin Jun did not grant these prisoners access to the mushroom network, and to this day they only know that "Boss" is a Marshal Puji.

The ranks were not exactly orderly; the sudden transfer and the first glimpse of the enormous rift caused uneasy whispers and commotion among the prisoners.

But no one raised any questions or tried to cause trouble or escape. After nearly ten days of discipline, those troublemakers had already been screened out and were now on both sides of the prisoner queue, responsible for maintaining order.

Since most of the supplies had been moved out in advance, the transfer was completed in an orderly manner in just two hours.

Subsequently, under the coverage of computing power, the crack continued to shrink, eventually stabilizing at the size of half a palm and hiding under the fungal carpet.

It's no wonder Lin Jun was timid; the "older" person who came this time was just too old!

【Level: 84】

It flew into the fungal carpet carrying a cloud of purple blood, making it impossible not to notice!

Although there was no skill like [Sword Mastery] on the panel, the unprecedented level alone was enough for Lin Jun to avoid its edge.

……

Beneath the northern sky, an ominous purple-blooded canopy swept across the icy plains at an astonishing speed, guided by a bat.

Since leaving the empire's borders, all living beings along the way have become Prince Vesalius's mobile blood bank.

Whether it was the two small tribes they encountered along the way, or the insects that hid beneath the glaciers and knew how to become invisible, they were all killed and turned into part of the sky.

Those demons and the people behind them dared to kill his precious daughter; this matter will certainly not be left unresolved!
At this moment, even His Majesty the Emperor must understand his grief over the loss of his daughter and tacitly approve of his dereliction of duty.

However, after flying for a whole day, all he saw was an empty fortress, with no trace of demonic life around it.

As for other signs of life...

A massive purple blood-red blade sliced ​​through, easily cleaving open the thick rock shell of the Arctic Fortress, revealing the heavily armored figure inside, which was in a state of suspended animation.

Clearly, these are the monsters that the intelligence reports indicated were controlled by the demon race and were assisting in the battle.

Vesalius landed at the edge of the breach, about to step forward to investigate and try to find some clues...

The entire fortress exploded without warning! An unprecedentedly terrifying explosion instantly engulfed everything around it, and the violent shockwave violently hurled boulders, ice shards, and dust high into the air, forming a churning, murky mushroom cloud!
However, the smoke and dust were cleaved by the sharp, blood-red blade, and Vesalius hovered above the enormous crater.

The explosion, powerful enough to annihilate a hall-level expert, failed to harm him; however, it did consume a significant amount of the purple blood around him.

The remaining purple blood fell, spreading along the ground and shattering all the mycelium within sight.

However, he soon stopped this pointless behavior.

Such a vast fungal carpet, not to mention the underground network entrances he discovered scattered throughout, were all beyond his ability to clear.

This would require a massive manpower effort for a long-term operation, but the harsh environment of the far north simply does not provide the necessary resources...

He no longer cared about the creep; he only wanted to find traces of those demonic beings.

However, after searching, nothing was found.

Even in that unstable, semi-abandoned underground city, there were only ubiquitous traces of fungal carpet, and no other living beings existed.

He did discover the palm-sized crack that Lin Jun had hidden; the other side seemed to be a desolate void, and he couldn't confirm where it connected to.

However, at this size, no living thing except for fluid monsters can pass through.

In contrast, the lower layers, which are slowly and steadily collapsing, appear far more suspicious.

Vesalius stood at the edge of the lower zone, gazing at the chaotic space. He couldn't be sure if the demonic beings had taken the risk of hiding in the depths, but it seemed... there was no other possibility.

If that's really the case, then one can only admire the other party's ruthlessness.

Even for him, falling into a shattered space could be dangerous.

"If you're going to hide, then never come out!"

Vesalius slowly withdrew, and behind him, the surging purple blood condensed and deformed, forming several seals that completely sealed off the lower level of the Stone Castle underground city.

After doing all that, he searched the surrounding area for a whole day, but found no further traces, before heading back towards the empire.

He couldn't waste his time on this indefinitely; he still needed to oversee the plans against the Mountain Dwarves in the east, and His Majesty's tolerance was limited.

……

After confirming that the old thing had really left the area of ​​the fungal carpet, Lin Jun withdrew the computing power from the edge of the crack again. It should be able to open up to the size of a normal person again in a week.

As long as these cracks are not completely closed, those who control the computing power can always restore them to their original state.

Just now, if that old bat had tried to transform and squeeze in, Lin Jun would have completely closed the rift, either crushing him or trapping him to death.

The deep zone only contains the prisoners. The demons and core personnel have been moved to the seventh level by Lin Jun. If the situation becomes unfavorable, they will be transferred to the Divine Tree Underground City.

Then we just need to find a way to let humans know about it "accidentally".

Teleportation is expensive, but if the recipient is a high-ranking vampire, the human probably wouldn't hesitate to spend the money...

Of course, all of this only happens on the premise that the other party is a reckless fool who will jump into any hole he sees.

In reality, no brute could possibly live to such a high level... well... except for dragons.
