This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 3.3. The Duke's Fury
"You, say it again."

Duke Amara's knuckles were clenched white, and the armrests of the mahogany main seat groaned under the weight.

Butler Eric's neck was covered in cold sweat, but he still pronounced each syllable clearly.

"After Pero and Oaks tricked the young lady away under your name, they first went to the Amethyst Underground City, then crossed the border and fled to the Hermit Empire. Judging from their direction, they should be heading to Duke Sigimund."

"Damn traitor! Damn vampire!" The wooden handrail was crushed, and blood flames surged in the Duke's pupils. "Inanna is still alive, the tracking mark is still there, and the revenge mark has not moved. I have to go save her."

"master!"

Seeing that the Duke was about to take off his huge sword and save his daughter at all costs, Eric had no choice but to shout loudly.

"As soon as you leave, Sigimund will lead the Blood Knights to destroy the High Castle.

If we lose High Castle, there will be nothing left to defend. Not only your duchy, but the entire Southern Confederacy will be in danger."

"So you want me to watch Inanna die?"

The bluestone floor tiles under Alama's feet began to crack, and the spider-web-like cracks continued to expand. The aura of the LV70 top human powerhouse forced Eric to kneel on one knee on the ground.

"The Diamond-level adventure team 'Silver Thorn' is operating nearby. You can privately commission them to search for the young lady in the Amethyst Dungeon.

"At the High Castle, you pretend to leave, lure Sigimund here, and then strike him head-on to avenge the assassination."

After saying this in one breath, Eric almost fell to the ground.

The pressure on Eric gradually disappeared, and Alama sat back in his chair. He stretched out his hand, condensed the coordinates of Inanna into a crystal, and handed it to the butler.

"Just do as you say. Tell those adventurers to bring Inanna back alive, and I will give them a city!

But if anything happens to my daughter..."

"Yes, sir."

----

Deep in the dungeon, in the mushroom garden.

Inanna, who had no idea that her father had started asking people to look for her, was watching the scene in front of her with a little horror at the edge of the breeding area.

Next to the deep pit where slimes are raised, a hollow-bottomed puffball is filled with ordinary mushrooms to feed the slimes.

As a result, when the slime was pouring mushrooms, it bounced and stuck to its feet, dragging the little thing down.

The next second, the slimes in the deep pit swarmed over and wrapped Puji tightly.

The wrapped Puji was still struggling, and it seemed that it could still be saved.

"Lin Jun, Lin Jun, you slime are so hungry!"

Lin Jun, who was busy, heard the call and turned his attention back for a moment.

"Got it. I'll send a new one over right away. I've already told you that the breeding area is dangerous, so don't go there."

Inanna wanted to say that she didn't mean that, but when she saw the Puji in the slime, which was completely motionless and starting to decompose, she swallowed her words.

The world underground is so cruel.

----

The underground world is indeed cruel.

In order to survive in this cruel place, Lin Jun is always busy.

The intelligence of the Pujis is at most to the point where they can automatically find their way after receiving an order.

Both breeding and mining require Lin Jun to concentrate on micro-management, not to mention that the border of the mushroom garden will be attacked by various monsters from time to time.

Even though Lin Jun had level 5 mental integration, it was still quite difficult to operate.

It is actually very rare to be able to spare the energy to help Inanna familiarize herself with the environment.

Although she didn't show it, Lin Jun was actually very happy to have someone she could communicate with.

At least I won’t have to talk to myself anymore to ensure that my language skills don’t deteriorate.

But after that I had no time to take care of her, so I could only let her wander around on her own.

Lin Jun needed to focus on the edge of the mushroom garden, as fireflies were swarming over there. These mosquito-like flying insects, slightly larger than puffballs, averaged around level 20.

They are far from the strongest monsters here, but they are definitely the most annoying.

It can fly, is agile, and appears in groups. If it gets a chance, it will use its sharp beak to seduce a lone Puji. It is Lin Jun's biggest enemy in the early stages of development.

Fortunately, Lin Jun already has a mature response plan.

Faced with swarms of flying fire mosquitoes, several Pujis, whose mushroom caps were replaced by nozzles, squeezed out slime all over the sky.

These mucuses are highly adhesive and corrosive. Once the fireflies get stuck with them, they cannot fly and are forced to fall to the ground.

The purple mushrooms on the ground sprayed out hallucinogenic spores, which incapacitated the fire mosquitoes that fell to the ground.

Soon, after losing 7 companions, the remaining fire mosquitoes ran away without looking back.

However, Lin Jun knew that this kind of thing would never learn its lesson and would come again next time.

Puji, with a shell on his head, killed the unconscious fire mosquitoes one by one, and the corpses of these monsters were then thrown into the mushroom garden to become fresh fertilizer.

There are no attributes on Lin Jun's panel, and his body is just an ordinary-looking mushroom.

A mushroom should have 420 HP at level 42, and having more than 3000 HP like Inanna is outrageous.

As for Lin Jun's unusually high magical power, it actually includes the entire mushroom garden.

The most outrageous thing on the panel is the title of hero, which even he himself finds outrageous.

How can a mushroom like me have such a title?
Lin Jun had never seen his summoner, so he didn't know whether he was a crazy wizard or a god with a bad taste.

But one thing is certain - the other person's brain is definitely not normal.

Is there really someone who would deliberately summon a mushroom hero?

However, thanks to this title, Lin Jun drew Greed with the privilege of the brave, and used Greed to continuously seize the skills of the underground monsters, and finally used the skills to arm the Pujis.

From being chased by slimes for food at first, to farming in the corner of the class now, the whole process was full of sadness and tears.

It’s hard to imagine what I would have done if I hadn’t drawn Greed. I would probably have turned into shit.

So, why summon it into a mushroom?

This problem has almost become his obsession, second only to climbing to the surface.

……

After dealing with the fire mosquitoes, Lin Jun finally had time to see what the new kid was doing.

Ah... I'm stealing the amethyst I dug up...
