This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 648, Section 647: Rescue Plan No. 3
"What on earth is he doing?!"

The enormous ball of light engulfed Leonard and Ming's figures, and the shockwave whipped up a gale carrying debris and ice shards that swept across the area, even affecting the Imperial army's formations in the distance, causing chaos.

There was no time to complain. Norris braved the lingering shockwaves and charged toward the center of the explosion.

He knew perfectly well that he had physical immunity, not magical immunity, and he never intended to blow them both up like this before he fired the cannon.

The original plan was to launch a sneak attack if possible, and if that failed, use the resonance cannon to separate Leonard and Ming's positions, and take advantage of the gap when the general was forced back by the impact to rescue Ming from the battle.

Unexpectedly, that kid Ming acted like he'd taken a hallucinogenic mushroom, dragging the enemy towards the cannon.

It's important to know that this is no longer the old-fashioned single resonant cannon.

With the increase in the [Resonance] level, what Jida is now carrying on his shoulders is a composite resonance array composed of three strings of Puji, which is more than twice as powerful as the original version.

He himself wasn't sure if he could handle firing that shot.

"Please, don't die...please, please don't die..." Norris had no desire to bear the guilt of accidentally killing his companion.

Leonard's confidants were initially stunned by the sudden turn of events, but after seeing Jida rushing forward, they reacted and rushed over as well, but Jida was still a step ahead.

Norris found the two.

Leonard, that legendary general, was now barely recognizable as a human.

He hadn't specialized in defense; his lizardman scales might be sufficient on a normal battlefield, but against such a powerful resonance cannon, they were as fragile as a sheet of paper.

His body was completely torn in two at the waist and abdomen, with the broken remains scattered within a radius of several meters. Nearby, there were still a few wisps of blood-red crystal clusters dissipating, which were traces of his attempt to form a defense at the last moment.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain.

And Ming.

Norris's gaze fell on the guy who was barely clinging to life, his expression a mixture of joy and worry.

Thanks to Leonard as a living shield, he managed to save his life, but his condition was now extremely poor.

His two arms disappeared completely from the elbows down, half of his head was a bloody mess, and Norris could even vaguely see the white bone fragments below. As for his legs, they were also torn apart by the magical turbulence, and he fell into a coma.

Although the flesh and mycelium are regenerating, such a fatal wound, even with sufficient magic power, would probably take most of a day to heal.

And now, they are surrounded by enemies who want to kill them!
Norris immediately manipulated Jida, using its tentacles to wrap up Ming and try to escape.

But the Imperial Army had already reacted.

"They...they killed the general?!"

"Avenge the general! Don't let them get away!"

He looked up and saw that nearly half of the Imperial soldiers who had been fighting on the front lines were now rushing toward him recklessly under the command of the general's confidants.

They seemed determined to kill the two men even if it meant the entire army was routed.

Before Norris could change course, the first wave of attacks had already arrived.

Arrows, javelins, and low-level magic missiles clashed together, raining down on them.

Norris experienced the same treatment he had received before.

The difference is that Ming needs to be careful of magic, while Jida, because of her resonant magic shield that can be expanded, can hardly be harmed by the magic of ordinary mages.

On the contrary, the magic shield was much less effective at blocking physical attacks from the charging warriors and the stray arrows, leaving Jida struggling to cope.

The clanging and clattering sounds continued, and the cracks in the shell of the chida multiplied.

"We need to think of a way..."

Clang—An arrow struck Ming, who was wrapped up in a ball, and was deflected as expected.

Norris's eyes lit up as he realized he had fallen out of the misconception that the patient was a seriously injured person who needed complete protection.

Having accumulated rich experience with his predecessors, Norris, once he understood the situation, was also adept at using his successors.

"I'm so sorry, so sorry! This is all so that we can both get out of here alive..."

While repenting, Norris used the [Physical Immunity] to its fullest extent.

The shield blocks magic, the arrows are deflected, and when the opportunity arises, the shield can also be used to swat away approaching imperial soldiers.

This successfully bought the Gida Resonance Cannon time to recharge.

boom!
Jida fired a final shot at close range, exhausting all his reserve magic power, and even his magic shield could no longer be maintained.

The puffs that made up the resonance cannon detached themselves and jumped in all directions. Then, several smaller self-destructions occurred, successfully clearing a path for Norris to survive.

However, he had only taken one step forward when a javelin thrown by a general's confidant pierced Jida's ankle, pinning him to the spot and killing the puji that made up his foot.

Once Norris separated the dead Puji again, the opening he had made earlier had closed in once more.

"Has this guy finally run out of magic?"

The enemy clearly noticed that Jida's magic shield had disappeared. While surprised by the amount of magic Jida possessed, they continued their attacks without mercy.

In an instant, lightning, fireballs, and magical explosions re-emerged, determined to annihilate the two enemies who had killed the general.

Even Norris thought it was all over. In the last moment, he made Jida curl up into a ball and wrapped Ming inside.

He then leaped out of the Jida, brandishing his claws, preparing for a final stand.

Suddenly, Louisa's voice rang out from within the mushroom network: "Plan Three, the rescue is here."

Strange noises came from the battlefield.

hum-

"Heavens...heavens!"

The shadows spread, and what blocked out the light of day were countless fluttering wings of the puffy creatures!
Countless hissing sounds coalesced into a buzzing sound, rapidly approaching Norris and Ming.

"They want to save people? Kill them!"

Following the general's confidant's order, the condensed spell was unleashed.

Then, all of these attacks crashed into the falling Puji Waterfall.

Countless flying objects surged down from the sky, circling Norris and Mingxuan.

All attacks were absorbed by these flying cannon fodder poop, and each spell could kill several or even more than ten poop.

However, none of this had any effect on the rapidly flowing Puji shield. The opening disappeared in an instant, and unless all of the thousands of Puji were killed, they wouldn't even be able to see the Jida.

These Puji were not just shields; at the center, Norris and Ming were bound by the Puji and flew up, with the flowing Puji shield moving along with them.

Even though the Imperial Army had done its best to attack, in the end only a few hundred Puji were left behind, watching helplessly as the flying Puji carried the two of them away from the sky to the north.

After that, the price of disrupting the formation came: the ground-based puji broke through the lines.

Explosions, poisons, acid...

The right wing, along with the reserves brought by Leonard, completely collapsed under the onslaught of the Fungus Fortress.
