This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 330, Section 329: Old Acquaintances
Looking at his younger sister, who was still playing a game of scavenging trash with her pet, Salian couldn't help but chuckle, his eyes full of doting affection: "Red pieces of wood? That's quite rare."

“It’s not just rare! Touch it, it’s really amazing!” Aylawen blushed and excitedly stuffed the wooden piece into his hand.

The moment Salian's fingertips touched the wooden piece, his expression changed drastically.

My blood felt slightly warm, and a surge of excitement welled up inside me!

Invigorating techniques?
It's not a morale-boosting spell... it's something more primitive and violent, similar to a bloodlust spell!
What kind of dangerous items did this little rascal bring back?!
His smile vanished, and he quickly activated his magic, enveloping the dark red wooden piece in a layer of light, causing it to float above his palm, no longer in direct contact.

He examined it several times to confirm that the fragment itself was not enough to cause greater harm before his tense shoulders relaxed slightly.

But this is clearly only part of a larger whole.

The texture of the wood chips... had a familiar pattern, much like the bark of a tree spirit.

“Ellawen,” his voice deepened, “where did this come from?”

Seeing her brother's sudden serious expression, Ella realized something was wrong and grabbed Pooji on her head with both hands: "I...I'll let Pooji talk..."

She closed her eyes, maintained this posture for a while, and used her talent to communicate silently with Puji.

A moment later, the scout stretched out a mycelial tentacle and pointed it in a certain direction outside the window.

“Over there?” Salian looked in that direction.

Ellawen explained, "Chii said it was found in its home... its home probably refers to the dungeon."

"The dungeon..." After thinking for several minutes.

Salian warned his sister not to touch any of the strange things Puji had picked up, as they were very dangerous!
Then he hurriedly left with the wooden pieces, leaving Ellawen, who was unaware of what had happened, and Puji, who knew everything, in the house.

……

When faced with multiple-choice questions, Lin Jun always chooses to have it all.

Now that we've sent the half-demon Bastardos deep into the dungeon, there's no reason to let the proper masters of this place, the elves, sit idle.

As for whether the two sides will meet on the lower level?

The underground city of Shenmu is vast and the probability of encountering it is low. Even if she does run into it, she can simply make her escape. Lin Jun is quite confident in her reconnaissance abilities.

As for the Shenmu Underground City, I can only wait for the results for now.

I turned my attention back and glanced at the tenth floor.

The wandering enchanting Puji has "captured" another werewolf who came out to hunt.

Next, all we need to do is bring him out, and then Norris can lead the werewolves who have "converted" to him to get close to him, using phrases like "Since you're already here" and "It won't hurt to give it a try," to let them experience the wonders of the outside world.

After that, you may choose to stay or leave as you see fit.

In short, the blockade set up by the old wolves is gradually being dismantled.

Watching the old wolves, frantic and helpless as they are slowly devoured, has become a pleasant pastime for Lin Jun these days.

On the Dream Battlefield, after upgrading the skill to level six, they finally escaped the predicament of being one-sidedly attacked. Although they were still in a stalemate, at least they were no longer feeling frustrated.

And PinkPuji, this "insider," has officially taken up his post!
Under the guise of testing various skill equipment, she frequently entered and exited the treasure vault, always managing to steal some Dream Flowers and then dump them all on the nearby fungal carpet.

The theft was a rather straightforward and unsophisticated method. The butler seemed to be busy with other matters, and given her status as a duke's daughter, she has yet to be caught.

It seems she can continue to evade justice until the next inventory check. Finally, and this is the one Lin Jun has been most eagerly anticipating—the one he's been secretly observing for a long time—is finally about to trigger the plot!

……

Jingle Bell--

The doorbell of Puji House Inn rang crisply, and a merchant-looking guest pushed open the door and entered.

Bianca, who was holding up Puji and cleaning the dust in the corner of the ceiling, quickly slipped back behind the counter: "Is the guest dining or staying at the hotel?"

Since the boss, Dylan, had to go out, she was naturally in charge of receiving guests.

Nowadays, Puji's House is bustling with Puji coming and going, and Bianca's face has a few traces of fungal growth, adding a touch of strangeness to the little girl's cuteness.

Symbiosis with mycelium is not uncommon in mushroom-growing regions these days, but it is truly rare to see such a young girl embracing symbiosis.

After all, that's something you have to be on the verge of death to do.

Among these are numerous examples of players accidentally stabbing themselves to death due to poor execution, or bleeding to death before completing the symbiosis process because they didn't bring a healer.

Although the proportion of such unlucky individuals is not high, it is still something that carries the risk of death, and very few young girls have that kind of determination.

As for Bianca, she had no choice but to do so because she was short of money.

Of course, after she made the decision, the symbiosis was completed under the guidance of her boss, Dylan. Lin Jun would never allow Dylan's little shop assistant to die accidentally; she just didn't know it herself.

With the ability to control Puji, she can do the work of three people and earn the wages of two!

As a result, although Puji House's business has gradually increased recently, Dylan no longer needs to spend time recruiting new people.

The merchant glanced at the familiar mycelium on the girl's face, seemingly recalling some past events, but quickly regained his senses and said, "I need a room at the inn. Is the innermost room on the first floor still available?"

"It's still empty, let me register you!" Bianca quickly completed the check-in process for the guest and handed over the key.

Bianca was a smart girl. After working in the shop for a few months, she vaguely realized that the innermost room on the first floor had a different meaning.

But that was obviously none of her business. Her boss, Dylan, paid her two salaries so she could buy medicine and delicious mushrooms to help her mother recover, and that was enough.

Watching the merchant's retreating figure disappear into the corridor, Bianca turned back to the kitchen; she still needed to prepare dinner for the guests in advance!
……

When Dylan returned with a large backpack full of medicinal herbs, Bianca had already prepared a hot meal for him.

These medicinal herbs are for use as a cover for selling potions later; they were just retrieved from the Adventurers' Guild.

After briefly inquiring about the situation inside the store, Dylan was slightly surprised to learn that a guest had arrived in the room at the end of the corridor.

Because the spies he knows in Mudu have already been contacted not long ago, they shouldn't be coming to him again anytime soon.

Is it a newcomer coming to pay their respects? Or does someone have some special information to share?

Without rushing, Dylan finished his dinner as usual before returning to his room.

They then entered the basement through a hidden door and met the merchant Bianca had mentioned.

"Brother Chlorlo?!"

"Brother Dylan?!"
