Chapter 717: Chapter 706: Nature’s Gift
"Ahhhhhh!"
As the hour bell rang, today was another peaceful day in Fungus Castle.
"Mom, look, a black meteor!" A half-demon little girl tugged at her mother’s clothes and said.
Her mother looked up but saw nothing.
However, the next moment, a dull thud rang out from afar, as if something had crashed in the northern part of Fungus Castle.
An unusual event occurred, and the City Guard of Fungus Castle immediately took action according to the plan.
All key defense points were secured, and a response team ran toward outside the city.
But before they reached the outskirts, they were called back by their own superiors via the Fungal Network.
On the way back, a soldier gasped and complained, "Who was that? They should’ve informed the Fungus Castle’s defense department about the drill first! It’s exhausting, man!"
...
The northern part of Fungus Castle, at the "meteor" impact site.
The Cow and Horse Pukis worked hard to dig out Xiao Hai, who was knocked out.
Looking at this large crater on the ice, it was only because Xiao Hai had a strong physique and had passive enhancement skills added by Lin Jun that he just fainted.
If it were Norris, he would probably have turned into Norris sauce.
[Meteor Impact]
A far beyond ordinary combat technique, a super acceleration collision skill without reason.
Unable to steer, you can only crash through, unable to stop unless you hit something.
This skill was already difficult to maneuver and was even more uncontrollable when used by the silly dragon Xiao Hai.
This skill seems more suited for Ming with [Physical Immunity]!
But Ming’s stats are far inferior to Xiao Hai’s, if he used the skill, the impact power would likely be much smaller.
After pouring a bit of Water of Life, the various injuries caused by the reverberation were healed.
After Xiao Hai woke up, he instinctively covered the top of his head, which was no longer hurting, wrapped his big tail, curled up into a ball, and went into fear-of-pain mode.
Lin Jun shook her mushroom hat at the sight.
Thinking back to the day when Xiao Hai was battered and bruised by her Mushroom Cannon but still viciously pounced relentlessly.
The posture filled with wildness and primitive combat instinct has now degenerated into a pampered recluse, curling up into a ball at the slightest injury surrounded by the gentle Puki world where life is carefree.
This won’t work, but how can we get Xiao Hai to move on his own?
...
...
...
"Forest Reed, Nigel Burke..."
The voice Puki rattled off names, and the newly appointed D Level personnel stepped forward one by one.
There was a considerable power difference between them, ranging from Bronze to Hall.
The commonality was that they all looked terrified yet dared not defy that voice.
Though they had just become D Level personnel, they had already seen hell.
The voice Puki squirmed over their trembling shoulders, softly comforting them: "Don’t be so afraid, I’m not a devil, I won’t push you to death."
"Even though all of you are unforgivable, countless Fungus People are eagerly hoping for me to behead you in the square, I always feel that death and despair are the most boring things."
"Even D Level personnel like you should possess redemption called hope!"
"Come on, everyone reach into the bag and grab something."
Puki placed the bag before Earl Forest, and the Blood Race trembled as they reached in to grab a handful, drawing out a translucent ruby.
Other D Level personnel grabbed silver scales or a few cheap glass beads.
While everyone was at a loss, Puki laid out a map in front of them and spoke again:
"These things are your redemption; keep them safe. Whoever manages to keep them on their person for an entire day will enjoy a month of comfortable living!"
"Now, run!" The Fat Otaku Puki blocking the D Level personnel gave way, revealing the icy world outside.
"Run? Run from what?" a D Level person asked.
Lin Jun ignored him: "You can run for an hour but remember, don’t go near Fungus Castle, run toward the wild, or else you know the consequences. So—start!"
Everyone looked at each other before finally braving the wind and snow to run outside.
Some escaped as a group, others fled alone, but soon they were all far away.
On the other side.
"Xiao Hai! Someone stole your Bright Crystal!"
Xiao Hai, newly awakened, took a second to grasp the meaning, then turned around to rummage through his pile of Bright Crystals.
However, after digging for a while, he couldn’t figure out what was stolen, until Lin Jun directly displayed the images of those "thieves" in the Fungal Network.
The familiar ruby, the familiar glass beads, the familiar silver scales!
"Those are mine!"
"Thieves, must bite!"
Xiao Hai cautiously crawled out of the Mushroom House, ensuring his Bright Crystals were not exposed, then—
"Roar—!"
His dragon wings spread wide, sweeping along a hurricane, flying toward the directions marked by Lin Jun.
All set!
After she left, several Pukis sneaked into the Mushroom House, starting to choose the next set of "missing Bright Crystals."
As Lin Jun considered whether to directly empty the house for dramatic effect, two large creatures flew in one after another at the Fungus Mat’s southern border.
Dragons again!
Has the Dragon Cliff Dungeon gone bad like the Stone Castle? Or did Mortis and the Demon King do something?
Lin Jun felt a bit troubled.
The newly occupied cities in the south are currently unable to withstand the attack from giant dragons.
Just as Lin Jun was pondering whether to organize evacuations through the Fungal Network, those two dragons, originally believed to be coming for Xiao Hai, began fighting each other.
The battle was in a forest, dozens of miles from the nearest city, far enough to avoid affecting it.
Amidst the roars and dragon breaths, the two giant dragons fought for three long hours.
In the end, the White Dragon froze the Black Dragon’s body and bit its neck, snapping it.
After the victory, the White Dragon did not eat the corpse, instead spreading its somewhat tattered wings and flying east.
The entire process had nothing to do with Lin Jun, but it left a Black Dragon corpse behind.
Lin Jun decisively accelerated the spread of mycelium with magic power.
[Seven Sins of Greed Activated]
[Plunder Skill: Corrosive Dragon Breath LV1]
[Plunder Skill: Flight Mastery LV6→LV7]
[Plunder Skill: Dragon Mighty LV4→LV5]
...
...
...
A Puki clasped its tentacles in prayer before the dragon bones, thankful for nature’s gift.
Lin Jun suddenly felt an urge to shed tears.
That’s more like it!
It should be others battling and oneself decomposing!
No logic in always having to personally fight as a decomposer.
If only everything was like these dragons, killing but not eating.
Having eaten and drunk to her fill, Lin Jun wondered what these giant dragons were up to.
Through the panel, Lin Jun noticed that after the White Dragon killed the Black Dragon, the panel’s [Ancient Dragon Path] increased from 12% to 16%, improving various familiar skills.
It seems that [Ancient Dragon Path] is indeed as initially guessed, a kind of competitive nurturing like a fight between parasites! It seems that [Ancient Dragon Path] is indeed as initially guessed, a kind of competitive nurturing like a fight between parasites!
