This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 33 33. Boss, do you know it’s dark here now?

"Dylan, do you know how the underground city came about?"

The old bat cannot be defeated for the time being, and other things are on track. Lin Jun, who has some free time, thinks about the problem of the dungeon again.

Under the torch, Dylan, who was trimming the corners of the coffin, stopped his work and scratched his head, thinking:
"how come?

Sorry sir, I haven't thought about this question.

When I was a child, I heard a story about a brave man who fought against the devil and opened up a passage to the abyss, forming an underground city.

But many of the logics don't make sense, and it's obviously just a simple story.

As for whether there are other explanations, I don’t know.”

This story really sounds like two supreme beings fighting until the galaxy is shattered...

"Then no one among you studies these things?"

"Yes, the people at the Relic Association do this, and they've been offering a reward for any clues leading to this for a long time.

Unfortunately, that kind of mission is just a look, and all the valuable clues have been found in hundreds of years.

I've never heard of anyone getting rich doing this."

"Then can you get this information from that association?"

After hearing this, Dylan waved his hands repeatedly.

“Impossible Boss, the Relic Society is an official organization affiliated with the United Kingdom.

A bottom-tier adventurer like me can't even get through the door.

I'm not a thief, so I can't help you steal the files you want."

As expected, it didn’t work. This was not unexpected by Lin Jun. He was just asking.

Unlike the natives like Dylan who are accustomed to dungeons and regard them as a normal part of the world.

In Lin Jun's opinion, many places in this underground city were too regular, and it was obvious that they were specially arranged.

There must be a lot of secrets behind it.

But it seems that he hasn't had the chance to come into contact with it yet.

Speaking of which, adventurers can’t enter the bottom, but the Duke’s daughter should be able to enter, right?

Should we try to let Dylan contact Inanna?
After thinking for a while, Lin Jun still felt that there was no need to rush this matter and that it could be done slowly.

I don’t know what Inanna’s situation is now. I’ll ask Dylan to find out first.

"Boss, I have something to ask."

Dylan's slightly hesitant words drew Lin Jun's attention back.

"what's up?"

"Just...why has the fifth floor been getting darker lately?"

暗？
is it?

Lin Jun really didn't feel anything about this, as he had a different sense of seeing things.

After careful consideration, I found that Dylan's words were quite euphemistic.

It's not just dark, the entire class is almost completely dark...

Although there is no sun in the dungeon, there are almost no completely dark floors.

Luminous fireflies or luminous stones in some rock walls can provide a certain degree of brightness.

The fifth-floor dome is covered with fireflies, making it the brightest among all floors.

So what about fireflies?
Why are all the domes turning into mushrooms?

He didn't really notice when his fungal blanket climbed onto the dome.

It looks like the firefly grass on the fifth floor is almost being eaten to extinction.

It turns out it’s my own fault...

Although the complete darkness had no effect on him, it was obviously not conducive for adventurers to come and trade, and Dylan also seemed to be in a very inconvenient situation.

I don’t know how long it will take to grow the firefly grass back to its original size?
Or should we just use fluorescent mushrooms?
Although due to the problem of skill compatibility, fluorescent mushrooms are far less bright than firefly grass.

But now the whole floor is covered with mushrooms of all sizes, and it is definitely not dark after the fluorescent light.

It seems that this is the only way for now.

"Collect slime cores... ten firefly plants... two-headed snake venom sacs..." In the hall of the Adventurer's Guild, Vera was selecting tasks on the bounty board.

A pair of childhood sweethearts sat on a stool not far away, and Feiyin was obviously in a low mood.

The last time they were attacked by looters, they not only lost a lot of equipment and supplies, but they almost lost their lives.

If those two marauders hadn't provoked Puji, they wouldn't have been able to come back.

After coming back, Feiyin seemed very reluctant to go to the dungeon.

Vera also understood, but one has to earn money to live, especially after losing such a large sum of money.

After discussing it with Fei Ling, he decided to take on some simple upper-level tasks to make a living.

We will make further decisions based on Feiyin’s recovery condition.

If it really doesn't work out, it's not impossible for a few of them to change careers and become caravan guards.

Noisy discussions continued to be heard. Although the guild was usually very lively, it seemed particularly noisy today.

Vera discovered that a lot of people gathered around the exclusive task board for the official task.

Is there an official new mission coming out?
Just as Vera was about to squeeze into the crowd, a huge furry paw violently separated the crowd.

The unexpected shove made him stumble back a few steps, and a piece of tan hair stuck to his lip.

"Bah bah——"

A hairy guy...

A muscular Khajiit walked straight to the task board, his shiny fur gleaming amber in the light.

The people around were cursing, but they honestly took half a step back.

The tiger man glanced at the task board and reached out to take off the latest A-level task.

Coming to the counter on the right side of the hall, the tiger man slapped his adventurer ID card and task list on it.

"Register for the mission."

Behind the counter was the guild's signature receptionist, Helena—a pretty lady with long red hair.

The two seemed to know each other.

Helena took the ID card, glanced at the tiger man and the leopard teammate behind him, and asked casually:

"Inigo, why is Mute Wind back? Where's Percy? Why can't I see him?"

"Stop nagging! This isn't an entry inspection. Just register me quickly." Inigo looked impatient.

"It seems that the archipelago is really dangerous..."

After Helena finished muttering, she ignored the tiger man's ugly expression and reminded him according to the guild rules.

"Inigo, the recommended number of people for this A-rank mission is 3 to 4 Gold-rank adventurers. I suggest you go find..."

boom--

The tiger man slammed his palm on the counter, interrupting Helena.

"Don't treat me like a newbie and give me advice. The two of us are enough. Hurry and register!"

Helena raised her eyebrows, not at all angry at being yelled at, but she didn't return the ID card to the tiger man directly after registering.

"What do you mean?"

Helena stretched out her finger and pointed at the cracked counter.

“%@#&*%&*…”

Inigo threw the seven silver coins on the counter, then angrily took back his ID card and called on the leopard man to leave the guild hall together.

After the tiger man left, Vera stopped an adventurer next to her and asked what mission everyone was so concerned about.

"What else could it be? Those mushrooms everyone's been talking about lately!

The guild has finally issued a mission to investigate the cause of the mutation."

"Those two orcs just now..."

"I don't know them, but those who can take on A-level missions must be gold-level masters."

Vera recalled all the troubles she encountered on the fifth floor from beginning to end.

For a detailed investigation, we must enter the swamp area that is strictly guarded by the Pujis, right?
Can two gold-level adventurers really handle it?
