This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 657, Section 656: The Sword Saint's Journey

Number 10 was held in Inanna's arms for the first time in a long time, and surprisingly, he did not refuse.

Number Four was squatting on a low table to the side, pacing back and forth.

Its tentacles held the gleaming white tooth, turning it over and over, from one tentacle to another, from left to right, constantly swaying it back and forth in front of Number Ten.

Unfortunately, number ten never asked the question it was expecting.

Frustrated, Number Four felt that his teeth were too small and not noticeable enough, so he decided to get a bigger trophy next time.

Ideally, it should be like the dragon horn of the fungus master!
Recently, Fungus Castle is going to build a marshal statue, and they will use that dragon horn as decoration. Number Four also wants to obtain such a huge and cool trophy!
However, to get the loot, you have to go out and fight, but if you leave Pinkpuji, then...

Looking at Inanna's hands, Number Four felt a pang of reluctance.

Number Four hadn't made up his mind, but Number Fourteen had already decided.

……

"You're going on a solo trip?"

"It's not a journey, it's the extermination of the hands that carry out the death."

While communicating with Lin Jun within the fungal network, Number Fourteen was also dealing with the attacks from Norris and Ming.

Jida pounced from the left, its four-meter-tall behemoth body kicking up snowflakes with every step, and the resonance cannon on its shoulder was already emitting a ghostly blue light.

Ming charged forward from the right without making any defensive moves.

The Sword Saint did not use a sword, but relied solely on the tentacle blades that came with the body of the Pooji.

With a sweep, he tripped up Ming who was rushing towards him, and with another slash, he cut down Jida's resonant cannon that was charging up.

Jida's left arm drill came whistling through the air, but it was too slow.

The swordsman simply turned to the side, and the drill grazed the edge of the mushroom cap.

They were on the verge of defeat.

"bright!"

"understand!"

The two retreated simultaneously, creating distance between themselves and the Sword Saint. The Sword Saint did not pursue, but stood still, calmly waiting for them to come up with a countermeasure.

Ming leaped into the air.

Jida raised his left arm, and the drill bit was actually aimed at the falling Ming.

As Lin Jun narrated "Merge!", Ming's body fell from the air, his two legs precisely inserted into the center of the drill bit.

Jida's drill bit began to spin, first slowly, then faster and faster.

Ming was flung away, leaving only a blur.

He opened his mouth as if to shout something, but could only make muffled "ooh-ooh-ooh" sounds. Saliva and what appeared to be vomit were flung in an arc by centrifugal force, tracing circles in the air.

"Physical Immunization Windmill!"

Jida turned around and charged at the Sword Saint again.

This is also a helpless move.

After several trials, they discovered that, except for Ming, all attacks would be cut by Fourteen.

Ming's solo attacks were always outmaneuvered by the Fourteenth Prince using various tricks, leaving him with no choice but to devise this strategy to break the deadlock.

Having traveled extensively throughout the country and seen a great deal, the Sword Saint couldn't help but take a few steps back when he saw Ming being flung around, vomit flying everywhere.

If an ordinary person were to spin like that, not to mention the intense heat inside the hole, the sheer speed of the rotation would be enough to dislocate their bones.

Ming, relying on his [physical immunity], seems unaffected no matter what he does...

"pity."

【Moonlight Steps LV7】

A silver arc lit up the snow, moving as fast as moonlight itself.

Norris only saw a blur before the afterimage had bypassed its front, and the Sword Saint's figure landed lightly on the snow behind it. The next moment, cracks appeared at every joint of the Gida, and it simply fell apart on the spot.

Ming, along with the burrowing creature, was flung away by the immense centrifugal force.

He tumbled through the air a dozen times, tracing a high parabola, before crashing into a snowdrift more than ten meters away, leaving only his legs sticking out and twitching.

Norris ran over and, with great effort, dug him out of the snow.

Ming lay on the ground, his eyes darting around, and bubbles were still coming out of his mouth.

After the sparring session, the Sword Saint finally got back to the main topic.

"I promised to help you. But lately there hasn't been anything that requires my help, has there? Don't tell me you can't handle those two dukes."

Only by becoming a Puji can one truly appreciate the power of the Mushroom Garden.

Even without taking into account the boss's bizarre intelligence-gathering abilities, the sheer size of Fungus Castle's power is something that two dukes cannot easily overcome.

According to the Sword Saint's estimation, if the Empire wants to deal with Fungus Castle, it would have to bring out at least the same lineup it used when attacking the Human Kingdom to gain an advantage without Fungus Castle deploying its powerful special forces.

As for the appearance of the Ji Divine Weapon, it will undoubtedly lead to a decisive battle between high-end combat forces at the Ji Divine Weapon site, and he can hardly predict the outcome.

And this is still the Fungus Fortress battlefield, not the Fungus Carpet that has already spread across half the world.

In short, in the Sword Saint's view, it's too early for the situation to develop to the point where he needs to take the field.

"While I have some free time, I plan to clean up those hiding insects one more time... Ah, I mean the Hand of the Dead."

Why did you emphasize that?

"..."

Fortunately, after a brief silence, Lin Jun agreed: "Hmm... I'll write it down... Okay, you can go, but if you leave the creep area, you must contact them at least once a month."

Just as the Sword Saint had predicted, the leader did not stop him, and even provided him with some information about the areas where the Hand of Death had recently appeared.

After all, based on his observations, the eldest brother also seemed to hate the Hand of Death.

Although it's unclear why a group of people would hate a cult that has nothing to do with them, it's good that their interests align when it comes to eliminating the cultists.

Sword Saint Puji set off alone, leaving behind only a round and dashing silhouette.

Lin Jun made another note about him.

……

Believe it or not, Lin Jun really intended to deal with Du Wangzhi.

The reason is simple: they seem to have some plans for themselves.

After the priests of the Hand of Death were driven into hiding by the Empire, things quieted down for a long time.

Lin Jun had no idea where they had hidden during this time, since there were no fungal carpets in the empire and Lin Jun had no way of seeing them.

But recently, traces of their activity have reappeared near the Eleanor territory.

Although they were just lowly minions, their actions of stealing fungus and collecting mycelium from the fungal carpet made it hard for Lin Jun not to be suspicious.

After all, there is a deity behind the other party, even if this deity cannot protect her followers, which is why the Hand of Salvation is almost destroyed by all sides.

But it still possesses an unknown and mysterious power.

Lin Jun didn't want to ignore them because of her arrogance, only to have them come up with some outrageous ceremony that would cause her a huge mess.

The best approach is naturally to take the initiative and eliminate them before they cause trouble!

Speaking of which, last time they captured a lizardman priest. Due to transportation issues, Lin Jun dumped him at Thirteen's place and disguised him as a blood beast.

This guy is a true believer; you can't get a single piece of information out of him.

Fortunately, Lin Jun's methods of obtaining information were not limited to torture.

The information he had gleaned from his mind could now come in handy.

The world is already bad enough. Let those guys like the Hand of the Dead, who can only stir up trouble, leave the stage as soon as possible!
