This dungeon has mushrooms growing on it.

Chapter 51 51. Black eats black?
"Xiao Hei, anything with two hands and two feet is not a monster. You can't just kill it casually."

"Oh...but, green ones are okay?"

green?
Are you talking about the flower demon on the sixth floor?
After the monsters on the fifth floor were almost cleared, when Xiao Hei wanted to vent her energy, Lin Jun would let her go downstairs to play.

Lin Jun didn’t know what she was doing, but she would get lost the first few times and Lin Jun had to go down to pick her up.

After she became familiar with the road, she would bring back one or two monster corpses every time she went there to play. She remembered that there was a green flower demon.

But flower monsters don’t have feet, their lower bodies are connected to flower buds.

If it’s not a flower demon, then what is it?
Forget it, the green one is definitely not a human anyway.

"Well... green ones are fine, but don't kill them next time like today."

Xiao Hei pursed her lips and nodded, and Lin Jun then gave her the special spicy strips Puji with only [Strong Acid LV3] - she liked to eat sour food recently.

The two humans had also hurried away, looking very frightened.

Although I almost killed them, I'm not dead yet!
And Lin Jun has already given compensation.

That sword is enchanted, much better than the broken one.

So we're even now!

However, this also reminded Lin Jun that if Xiao Hei frequently came into contact with different human adventurers, conflicts were likely to arise.

Today it was Xiao Hei who took the initiative to attack, but tomorrow it might be some short-sighted adventurer seeking death.

The result is likely to be that Xiao Hei will kill people indiscriminately, and I will have to clean up her mess.

This is not possible!

We have to find a way, not just to eliminate it, but at least to reduce the chances of human adventurers coming into contact with her.

It is definitely unrealistic to ask her to stay put.

Given her excessive energy all day long, the only reason she stayed still for two days was due to the increased favorability after being parasitized.

It is impossible to keep her imprisoned for a long time unless force is used.

As for using force?

Her bedrock background prevented Lin Jun from having such thoughts at all.

But then again, we can't ban Xiao Hei, but we can restrict adventurers!

It's always right to pick on the weak.

The forest from now on... no, it's a mushroom forest now.

In the future, the mushroom forest will be designated as a restricted area, so that at least no one will disturb Xiao Hei while he is eating and sleeping.

As for the rest of the time...

Maybe I should upgrade the level of [Disguise LV2]?
Although there are no monsters on the nearby floors that can produce this skill, skills can be upgraded through training.

I rely on Puji to train and then pass on the experience.

Although the experience that can be transferred back by this method is severely reduced, there are more Pujis, and the camouflage is only level 2 now, so it is easier to upgrade.

Maybe I can train it to LV4 in a short period of time, and then I'll see if this skill can cover up Xiao Hei's scales.

Of course, if you want to add skills to Xiao Hei, you will need a huge amount of magic power.

I can only live frugally these days.

After the plan was made, a batch of Puji equipped with the [Disguise] skill began to be produced.

On the other hand, what made Lin Jun a little strange was that it seemed that no other adventurers entered the dungeon?
So those two guys stole away illegally?
Anyway, this is good news. I have more time to prepare.

Speaking of which, because of the Demon Tide incident, there has been no news of Dylan since he was sent out.

I finally told him not to get involved in the demonic tide, and if he listened to me, he shouldn't be in danger.

But it's been a month.

I wonder if he brought enough money for the Blue Bottle...

I hope my first human subordinate doesn’t starve to death outside.
-
"Ho...ho..."

Dylan groped for the arrow shaft behind him and yanked it outward. The sharp pain made him clench his teeth and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

Throwing aside the arrow covered with mycelium and blood, Dylan took a long time to recover.

Praise the boss!

As expected, only a few streams of blood gushed out from the wound before gradually stopping.

Thanks to not being a human being anymore, many key points are no longer key points.

However, on second thought, if it wasn't for the money to earn the magic potion, he wouldn't have taken on this hard job.

The leader of this trip was one of the tavern owner's own men, a bald strong man who smelled of fish, and three workers like Dylan.

There were four people in the group, each carrying a bulging deerskin bag.

You need to cross the forest on the west side of Mute Wind Town and transport the stolen goods to Fishing Sail Port.

In Dylan's opinion, the most dangerous part of this trip is that there is a certain probability that they will encounter monsters that are still wandering around after the magic tide.

But he never expected that even this one-time small-scale smuggling of stolen goods would lead to a case of gangs robbing gangs!
The attacker's first hidden arrow was aimed at himself.

The dull sound of the arrowhead breaking through the leather armor was lighter than he expected, and the arrow hit his back accurately.

After realizing what was happening, he deliberately broke off a few dead branches as he fell, allowing his body to roll down the slope into the bushes.

Soon, the sound of swords clashing could be heard all around.

At first he was still wondering who was the traitor among the other three?

It turned out that I was overthinking it.

The group of black-robed men who attacked them looked as if they were going to kill everyone.

His "death" gave the other three people time to react.

Anyone who dared to do this couldn't be a loser. Seeing that there were eight attackers, they were no match for them, so they fought and retreated, and after running for a distance, they fled in different directions.

The man in black seemed unwilling to let anyone go, not even if they dropped the bag.

Before the last man in black robe left, he did not forget to pick up the bag of goods next to Dylan.

"Uh-huh-"

Shortly after everyone left, a familiar scream was heard from the front. It was the voice of the leader.

It seems that they can't hold on for much longer, so I have to run away quickly.

Dylan wanted to just lie there and wait for everything to be over, but the half-burning tree trunk next to him indicated that there was a fire mage among the black-robed men!

If he is cremated in the end, he will definitely be dead.

Dylan pulled out the arrow and climbed out of the bushes. The pain on his back made him grimace. Just because it wasn't fatal didn't mean he was fine.

So this is what heartache feels like!

Without bothering to pay attention to the leaves and branches sticking to his body, Dylan ran in the opposite direction with the notebook in his arms.

Ok?
No, when did I...

The warm foreign object in his palm only caught Dylan's attention at this moment.

The cover is made of some wrinkled material. When I run my fingertips over it, I can feel the uneven threads. When I hold it in my hand, I can even feel a hint of warmth.

Dylan had some impression of this notebook, which should be one of the stolen goods in his bag.

But when and why did I take it out and hold it in my hand?

Could it be that she just happened to fall into his arms when she fell to the ground?

I have no clue and no time to sort it out.

Another scream was heard from the forest. It was possible that the three people had been killed.

If the attacker intended to destroy the body, he would definitely find that he was not dead yet.

You have to run faster and farther!
