This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 46 46. Congenital Deficiency
The cross section of the tentacle mushroom cannon slowly squirmed, and the end had now rewoven into a complete conical structure.

The knight's six mycelial tentacles have basically returned to their original state under the effect of [Mycelial Reorganization LV2].

It's just a little lighter in color compared to other parts.

On the contrary, the claw marks on the shell are still clearly visible.

The shell is a product of skill and cannot be reassembled. It can only be used to replace the old with a new one to regenerate a new shell.

The demonic tide outside was finally coming to an end, and the monsters began to return to their own levels, and the dragon beasts also drilled back into the rifts one by one.

The monsters also returned to their previous state of attacking each other.

Lin Jun saw that before leaving, a schizodon suddenly grabbed the tail fin of a small dragon beast and carried the struggling prey into the stairs.

Some monsters that get lost and wander around on the fifth floor and can't find their way back will have an additional negative effect once they exceed LV25.

[Fixed Status: Soul Siphon (Gradual Loss of Attributes and Skill Proficiency)]

Obviously, this is the dungeon's method of restoring the original order between classes after the demon tide.

If you can't go back, you'll probably be sucked dry in the end.

But... the soul was sucked away...

Just thinking about it made Lin Jun shudder.

Fortunately, Lin Jun himself did not have it.

Not only Lin Jun didn't have it, the dragon man didn't have it either.

This is consistent with Lin Jun's guess - neither he nor the dragon man are part of the demonic tide.

Needless to say, Lin Jun himself was never truly accepted by the Dungeon family.

The dragon people can tell something from her behavior patterns.

During the monster harmony period, it will attack other monsters to protect its food. Unlike other monsters, it does not rush out of the dungeon, but instead searches for Lin Jun's Puji on the fifth floor.

Lin Jun’s own uniqueness comes from his title of hero.

As for the dragon people?

Maybe it’s the identity of the descendant of the ancient dragon.

Speaking of dragon people...

"hungry……"

The landslide left only a cave of less than 20 square meters.

The dragon man squatted in the corner with his paws on his knees, his eyes fixed on the batteries on the other side, almost drooling.

Ugh--

A battery puffed across the gravel in the middle and walked to the dragon man with a "puff" sound.

She hugged Puji and rubbed her cheek against him affectionately. Puji was soon cut by the scales on the dragon man's face.

Just like Dylan, after being parasitized, the dragon man also developed a sense of closeness to the Pujis.

At least he didn't fight to the death with Lin Jun's knights as soon as he woke up. Instead, he was willing to listen to him.

Of course, Puji still has to eat...

The battery Puji, which had only 10 health points, was scratched to death by the scales, and was soon nibbled along the edge of the mushroom cap by the dragon man who had had enough of his intimacy.

This dragon man is not very smart.

After connecting to the fungus website and having a brief conversation, Lin Jun discovered that her IQ was about the same as that of a child.

This IQ is consistent with her performance in the fifth level.

But logically speaking, one of their parents is a human and the other is an ancient dragon, neither of them has low IQ, so it doesn't make sense for her to be so stupid.

Like the half-dragons I've seen before, their intelligence seems to be no different from that of ordinary people.

The answer is still on the dragon man's panel:

[Fixed Status: Congenital Deficiency. Intelligence (Intelligence attribute reduced by 80%)]

Although intelligence attributes are related to spellcasting ability, they are not equivalent to IQ.

But this is a congenital deficiency. I guess he is born mentally retarded, which is reflected in his attributes, that is, low intelligence attribute.

In addition, she had more than one congenital deficiency.

[Fixed Status: Congenital deficiency. Magical power loss (the body's magic power will naturally decrease over time)]

Lin Jun even suspected that she had offended God in her previous life.

Magic is the foundation of most skills.

Magic is a given, and many other seemingly non-magical skills, such as [Assault Bounce], actually consume magic power as well, albeit at a much lower rate. Running out of magic power not only renders skills inoperable, but also causes dizziness, nausea, and even coma.

Lin Jun has a lot to say about this. When he first came to this world, he knew nothing and fell into many traps.

So, no wonder she doesn't eat hallucinogenic food.

All the Puji she ate had the [Magic Storage] skill.

The act of eating Puji should be to replenish her own magic power.

Just like now, the dragon man was eating the Puji in his arms. Lin Jun saw on the panel that one third of her magic power was slowly replenishing.

Of course, the good taste of Puji is probably one of the reasons.

After all, [Magic Storage] is not a skill unique to him.

After stuffing Puji's last short leg into his mouth, the dragon man licked his lips with satisfaction.

"Are you full?" Lin Jun asked.

Hearing this, the dragon man's golden pupils shifted slightly, and he shifted his gaze from the remaining battery puffs to the knight.

In her perception, Knight Puji was the guy who was talking to her - a delicious but very strong guy.

“I want more!”

Lin Jun glanced at the panel.

My magic power is full and I still want to eat!

"Come and do me a favor first, and then I'll let you eat, okay?"

Looking back at the three remaining batteries, the dragon man nodded vigorously.

What Lin Jun wanted her to do was nothing else but to dig it out the same way she had dug it in.

Their previous fight caused most of the cave to collapse, and the Pujis responsible for digging the cave were unfortunately crushed to death.

The knight does have the skill of digging holes, but his efficiency is no match for the dragon man's claws.

That's [Sharpness LV9]!

But the fact is, Lin Jun was a little bit off the track.

Lin Jun thought she relied on her sharp claws to dig the hole, but in fact the claws only played the role of crushing the stones. The rest of the time, she relied on her physical fitness to squeeze through!

After she squeezed through, the gravel and soil would close together again, making it completely unsuitable for her to drill through with the others.

The knight had to follow closely behind her, and was kicked many times by her unintentionally before he could barely squeeze in.

This is thanks to its hard shell.

As for the three batteries without shells, poof… I couldn’t keep up from the beginning…

So, when the dragon man came to ask for Puji with anticipation, Lin Jun was already sweating profusely...

Lin Jun was really afraid that she would have a disagreement and plan to eat the knight again.

It’s not that she’s worried about being eaten. When the danger is really severe, she will complete the last step of parasitism and become a puppet.

But what happens after that?

Becoming a puppet is considered brain death, right? Will it trigger the mark of revenge?

Lin Jun didn't know and didn't want to gamble at all.

Therefore, we still have to fool this idiot who only cares about eating.

"Ah... over there," the knight pouted, pointing a tentacle towards the forest. "The food is over there. Go over there and you can get it."

At the same time, Lin Jun hurriedly searched for a small piece of relatively intact fungal mat in the forest, right next to the ruins of Dylan's cabin. This was one of the few fungal mats that survived the trampling of demons.

On the fungal mat, speed up to the fullest and ripen the two batteries!

The fifth floor is not safe yet, and many monsters are still wandering around looking for a way back.

However, since there was a dragon man following Lin Jun, they either ignored him or simply walked around him.

Of course, there are also people who are not very smart.

Lin Jun sincerely thanked them for buying herself a little more time.

……

Next to the ruins of Dylan's cabin.

The dragon man couldn't wait to pick up Puji, who was not yet full of magic power, and started eating him with big mouthfuls - she had just exercised and was hungry again.

After a while, the dragon man's question came from the fungus network:
"This one...isn't very tasty..."
