This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 560, Page 559: The First Exchange

Before them was merely a phantom formed from magic; the Demon King's legendary six-part true form remained sealed within the barrier, its true appearance unknown.

Therefore, Lin Jun was unable to view the Demon King's attribute panel.

It's somewhat of a pity.

But... is the Demon King actually a slime?
Lin Jun had never heard of the existence of "flowing liquid people".

A slime that can stretch into a human shape is still a slime at the end of the day.

With just that one glance, Lin Jun silently crossed out the option of "cooperating and coexisting with the Demon King" in her mind.

Slimes are the worst pests in the world, and as a hero, I will never tolerate them!

Of course, Lin Jun did not show any hostility, but carefully observed the other party's actions.

The humanoid slime phantom floated closer, looked Puji up and down, and muttered to itself:
"As expected, the simpler the body's structure, the greater its potential for change. I wish I had realized this sooner."

The Demon King looked on in amazement. Lin Jun even felt that if it weren't for the phantom in front of her, the Demon King would probably have already stretched out his tentacles and started groping Puji's body.

After marveling at Puji, the Demon King's faceless face swept over the three beings before him.

"Puji, demonic offspring, and... what is this thing made up of a bunch of Puji pieced together?"

"No, there's another one mixed in... um..." The Demon King hesitated for a moment, then said uncertainly, "A human?"

Norris, inside Jida's body, was stunned upon hearing this.

Immediately, a surge of intense heat rushed to my eyes.

He had long since given up on the hope of being recognized deep in his heart, yet... yet there was someone who could see through his true human nature at a glance!
Norris was unaware of the details of sealing the Demon King, only knowing that his boss attached great importance to this place.

If this humanoid slime in front of him were not an enemy, Norris would almost want to rush out of Jida and become his sworn brother immediately.

On the other hand, the Demon King felt his eyes had been opened.

Three hundred years have passed, and the world has become so unfamiliar.

It's bad enough that Puji has mutated into this strange appearance, but even the demon he personally created back then is now covered with white threads he's never seen before.

What puzzled him most was the thing huddled in the pile of poop, whose aura was almost human.

Once he gets out, he plans to thoroughly study all these strange things.

He turned the illusory figure toward the light and asked, "Did you break the seal?"

However, before Ming, who was completely bewildered, could organize his thoughts, Lin Jun had already taken over the conversation.

Lying is far too much for a child who is less than one year old and has been receiving a closed-off education since childhood.

On Jida's arm, a little poop quietly broke free from Norris's control and fell to the ground.

Its excess parts rapidly degenerate, its rounded body shrivels and shrinks, eventually turning into a thin sheet like an old rag.

This change also attracted the Demon King's attention; the phantom leaned forward slightly, full of curiosity.

next moment.

"My Lord Demon King!" A terrifying, mournful voice burst from the voice chatter.

Ming and Norris shivered simultaneously, and the Demon King's phantom flickered for a moment, its outline almost dissipating.

"How on earth did they manage to make the structure of this sound so awful?"

Tsk!
The voice wriggled closer to the Demon King. "Demon King, please save us! The empire is now in Mortis's hands, declining day by day, and all demons are suffering. They even ostracize us, the outcasts! We... we can only count on you!"

"Mortis?" The Demon King racked his brains for a while before finally recalling the name from the corner of his memory. "How come he's the one who took over the empire? What about Grand Duke Rune?"

Grand Duke of Ruen?

I wonder if he's the unfortunate guy the current emperor betrayed, as mentioned in the Yellow Book.

In short, Lin Jun and the others definitely didn't know.

"My Lord Demon King, now that you've emerged, what should we do?"

That was Lin Jun's real purpose: to see if she could extract some information from him.

"Of course..." the phantom's voice trailed off for a moment, then took on a hint of sarcasm, "...it won't tell the enemy."

"big boss?"

The phantom extended a pseudo-foot and touched Ming's head from afar: "This child is too young; his thoughts are written all over his face."

Knowing that he had ruined things, Ming was on the verge of tears.

The Demon King turned to the knight, Puji, and continued his analysis unhurriedly: "Moreover, you have the broken seal stone tablet wrapped in your tentacles, but you've only kept the seal in a state of partial collapse... The one who actually came to unseal me has already been dealt with by you, hasn't he?"

Although it was just an illusion, Ming and Norris simultaneously felt a chilling killing intent spreading through them.

Lin Jun was silent for a moment: "Since you figured it out, why did you pretend not to know at first... Old Demon King Deng, are you looking down on me?"

"How dare I?" The Demon King's voice contained not a trace of "how dare I," but rather an arrogant condescension. "To be able to transform the originally useless Puji into this form, you must have some ability."

Now that her disguise had been exposed, Lin Jun no longer bothered to hide it!

A dense rustling sound came from the passage above. Louisa led her army at breakneck speed, and countless plops surged out of the corridor like a tidal wave.

Meanwhile, in another secret passage, the old murloc appeared hastily, carried on the back of a strong murloc.

"Using Puji as a magical pet? That's interesting." Even the Demon King, relying solely on a phantom image, couldn't immediately discern the true nature of the Fungal Web.

His attention was drawn more towards Louisa: "Magic Crystal Armor? You can actually afford the cost of a complete set of Magic Crystal Armor? Has the sea route been reopened?"

Facing the arrogant and aloof Demon King, Lin Jun had already made up her mind.

If the seal can be repaired, it should be sealed off completely, so that this demon king can remain a prisoner forever.

If it cannot be repaired... then before the seal completely collapses, he will gather all the forces of the Mushroom Garden and lay a trap.

He's only one-sixth of a demon king, but he wants to taste for himself what a demon king really tastes like!
Things didn't turn out the worst; the old fishman actually had a way to deal with it.

He stepped forward, raised the scepter in his hand that was inlaid with half of a divine artifact, aimed the end of the scepter at the broken part of the seal, and planted it firmly.

The moment the scepter touched the bottom, a pale blue light spread out from the scepter.

The previously scattered water flow seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, beginning to meander along the intricate patterns on the seal's surface, as if re-binding the blood within the broken blood vessels.

Under the embrace and support of the flowing water, the scattered magical fluctuations of that damaged corner gradually subsided. Although it was not directly repaired, it also stopped collapsing.

"Half of the Ocean Scepter..." The Demon King's phantom swayed slightly in the water, his voice carrying a hint of amusement and exasperation, "Using it to maintain a seal is far too extravagant."

As the connection between the inner and outer magic was severed again by the power of the scepter, the gelatinous phantom lost its support, its outline began to blur and fade, and it slowly dissipated into the water.

Lin Jun's gaze fell on the temporarily stabilized seal and the [Ocean Scepter] inserted into it.

I hope I didn't waste my time on this trip.
