This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 54 54. See the Treasure Chest Room Again

The third floor of the dungeon.

Unlike other combat-themed levels, this one is almost entirely filled with puzzles, traps, and hidden doors.

It will yield some wooden treasure chests, which are far inferior to the stone chests inside the hidden door, but they are still of certain value to ordinary adventurers.

The few monsters in this layer are mainly triggered stone statue guards, treasure chest monsters, or harmless monsters that feed on corpses.

The dungeon has not been open for some time, so it naturally looks lifeless.

But today is a little different - a group of Pooji came here.

Under the arc-shaped broadsword swinging back and forth, a group of Puji with scales on their armor were passing through one by one.

A not-so-clever Puji accidentally got its short leg stuck in the gap between the knives on the ground while taking a step, and it couldn't pull it out no matter how hard it pulled.

The swinging sword hit Puji as expected.

Puji was not cut in half directly, but hit the wall and fell down like a baseball.

Although part of the reason was that the broadsword was not sharp enough, the defensive power of the LV5 scale armor was enough to satisfy Lin Jun.

Of course, this Puji still died, after all, the scales cannot protect against blunt attacks.

After passing the swinging sword, the Pujis continued to move forward.

He also relied on [Assault Ejection LV5] to pass the death jump platform and relied on his light weight to pass the trigger trap.

Finally, they gathered in front of a stone gate, and standing next to the gate was Puji, the one who first discovered it.

This stone gate looks familiar!

Lin Jun had been locked up there for three months, so he wouldn't have forgotten the pattern.

This must be the treasure room!
The reason why such a large number of personnel were mobilized was because this treasure chest room was perfectly integrated into the rules of the third floor.

There is a large pressure plate in front of the door, a large stone pillar hanging from the ceiling, and a small stone tablet with a keyhole next to the door.

It is obvious that you need to find the key, or use the lock-picking skill, put down the stone above, activate the pressure plate, and the door can be opened.

But, does unlocking a lock seem like something Puji can do?

Actually, it really works. Lin Jun's lock picking skill is at level 2...

But this requires the production of corresponding Puji, and LV2 is obviously too low.

There's no other way, I can only use some stupid method, anyway, I just need to activate the pressure plate.

The Pujis lie neatly on the pressure plates. When one layer is full, they step on their companions and lie on the second layer, stacking up like a pyramid.

Thanks to the extra mass of their scales, the mechanism finally sank into place when it reached the fourth layer.

Just as expected, the stone door slid open smoothly to both sides.

The scene inside was very similar to the treasure chest room where Lin Jun had stayed, but without the pool of water in the middle, it was obviously not the same room.

This is not surprising. It would be strange if there was only one treasure chest room in the entire dungeon.

So now it is – treasure chest time!
A Puji quickly stepped forward, jumped up skillfully, and kicked over the lid of the stone treasure chest.

Let me see what's there.
A...scroll!
Lin Jun had seen it before. It was the escape...escape scroll!

Quickly control the Pujis to transport this treasure back. Bomb any slime you see along the way to ensure it is safe.

It’s not that Lin Jun intends to use the escape scroll to take his real body out.

This scroll is a random teleportation scroll, and is only responsible for sending you out of the dungeon. It is not certain whether you will get stuck in the dungeon.

It's too dangerous and definitely cannot be used on the main body.

In Lin Jun's view, this is Zhang Yangguang's experience voucher.

If the main body is not suitable, you can send Puji.

Although I cannot feel the warmth of the sun, it is nice to see the sun and take a look at the outside world through Puji.

Of course, in order to prevent this Puji from dying as soon as it is teleported.

It's essential to give him some life-saving skills. [Rock Eater LV3] for digging, [Underwater Adaptation LV4] to prevent drowning...

As for how to land from the air?
It’s not that it doesn’t have the skills of a flying monster, but its compatibility with Puji is very low.

Use [Assimilation Absorption LV3].

This is a skill obtained from the flesh and blood monster called Blood of Sage during the Demon Tide.

It is by this that those monsters can continuously absorb the surrounding flesh and blood and resist the bombardment of the Pujis.

However, this skill has changed a bit in Lin Jun's hands.

It can only absorb substances similar to itself to assemble its body.

Simply put, Puji can only absorb mycelium, but cannot absorb flesh and blood like the Blood of Sage.

It feels a bit useless. It seems that it may be of some use only in defensive battles, relying on the advantage of the field covered with mycelium.

But it is just right to be used here, to assemble a fluffy mycelium shell outside the Puji.

If you really appear in the air, use it to resist the impact of landing.

As for other combat and defensive skills, you should learn some of them. Otherwise, it would be funny if you were snatched away by stray dogs on the roadside before you could even bask in the sun for a few minutes.

In short, it can be regarded as a weakened version of the disposable knight Puji.

It's called Explorer One.

Of course, Explorer No. 1 is still in the gestation stage, and there are many skills to be added, so we can't rush.

This precious escape scroll can only be hidden in Lin Jun’s small treasure house for a while.

"Boss!"

Ok?
Now the only one who can chat on the fungus network is Xiao Hei, and he calls everyone "Boss".

Although Lin Jun was very skeptical, she didn't understand what "boss" meant.

She looks like this now, she just came back from a walk.

His whole body was wet, and there were water stains on his scales, with a few drops dripping down from time to time.

In his hand, he was holding the corpse of a monster that looked like a large turtle, with its head missing.

I think it was caught from the seventh-level waterway.

There was only one reason why Xiao Hei called him as soon as he came back.

"Not bad, not bad. This kind of thing is quite rare today. What flavor of Puji do you want?"

"I want to eat sandwich!" Xiao Hei answered immediately.

"Okay, okay, yes."

As soon as she heard about the sandwich, Xiao Hei immediately dropped the turtle in her hand and ran towards the mushroom forest - that's where her current nest was.

Several other nearby Puji came over and dragged the fresh corpse into the swamp area.

The so-called sandwiched Puji is actually the one with slime digestive fluid added, which was used to catch mosquitoes in the deep area.

Among Lin Jun’s numerous and varied combinations, this is one that is more popular with Xiao Hei.

When Xiao Hei entered the mushroom forest, two sandwich-flavored Pujis were already waiting in her bedroom, next to a hollowed-out large mushroom.

This dragon man didn't mind dirtying his sleeping place, so he just went straight into the mushrooms with the two Pujis in his arms and ate while lying down!
In other words, the mycelium can decompose residue and mucus, otherwise this little nest would have been extremely dirty.

After sending Xiao Hei away, Lin Jun originally wanted to focus on his latest research - the skill combination of melee Puji.

After digesting the skills of the Demon Tide, I can indeed make a decent melee Puji, but I still have to find a combination with the best cost-effectiveness and suitable for mass production.

But it seems that there is no time now. The picture came from the upper level, and the adventurers finally began to enter the dungeon!
There were quite a few people pouring in in the first batch, and it seemed like they all wanted to be the first to try something new.

Lin Jun saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

Dylan is finally back!
