Mushroom Lord in the Underground City

Chapter 744: Chapter 731: Giant Dragon Arena

In the Fungus Castle, a guard of the Ministry of Truth controlled two blue mushroom-headed Puki as they escorted a dejected Horned Demon down the street, sparking discussions among the nearby Fungus People.

As a recent event, elsewhere it would probably take at least a day or two for news to spread to the taverns.

But due to the presence of the Fungal Network, gossip traveled extraordinarily fast within the Fungus Castle.

Almost minutes after the Horned Demon was taken away, a curious Fungus Person inquired about the situation and immediately shared it with others nearby.

"I’ve heard, I’ve heard! This guy is a worker from the Magic Crystal Ore veins, took an assignment but handed all the work to a Half-demon in the same group. The Half-demon controlled twenty Puki to do the work of forty, naturally causing issues. When investigated, the Horned Demon tried to blame the Half-demon, but was discovered by the examiners."

However, as the sharer just finished speaking, someone raised doubts: "Fake news, right? There’s no reason for the Half-demon to help him with that workload."

"They’re all from the Empire."

Upon hearing this, the other Fungus People showed a knowing expression.

Immediately, a Half-demon among the Fungus People sneered: "That Horned Demon probably thinks he’s still in the Empire and feels superior to the Half-demon. That Half-demon is foolish too, hasn’t realized it after being here for several months."

"Those from the Empire are always like this, full of problems."

"Alas, don’t say that, not all Empire and Shanghai..."

The veteran Fungus People expressed their superiority as residents of the Fungus Castle until someone shouted "Praise the Mushroom Lord," and the gossip came to an end with everyone collectively praising the Mushroom Lord.

They did not realize that prejudice did not disappear but transformed from racial discrimination to regional and cultural discrimination.

Superiority is like spiritual food; it needs comparison to feel happiness.

When they understood that the Mushroom Lord was the foundation of their sense of superiority, their faith naturally became more steadfast.

The Death God seemed to be advising not to preach, but the signal was poor. Perhaps the original intention was to encourage more preaching?

Regardless of which, it didn’t matter because Lin Jun wasn’t listening to what it said.

Whenever Lin Jun usually wanted to ask something over the phone, it never responded, but now it’s remembering Lin Jun because it has needs?

What a lucky chance.

Especially now, Lin Jun suspects the Death God wants to use him as firewood, so he’s even less likely to listen to her.

Everything will proceed according to the original plan.

Without the Mushroom Transformer, the pace of unifying the continent is likely to slow down again.

Particularly now, with the Demon King appearing with super-spec power, if he shamelessly toys with "top-level expert harassment tactics," Lin Jun could rely on the Mushroom Transformer Warrior to engage him.

Ultimately, the lack of super-spec power makes our side seem a bit passive.

And now, the most likely candidate to become super-spec power within the Fungus Castle...

On the Bright Crystal pile, Xiao Hai was sleeping soundly in a posture that made Lin Jun feel very uncomfortable, the walls covered in silver scales, clutching the most beautiful gems.

Clearly, without confronting those Giant Dragons, this progress will not continue to increase.

Lin Jun hasn’t been idle in this regard lately.

Although the Giant Dragons fly high and fast, Lin Jun’s territory is actually quite large, making it not uncommon to spot their tracks.

It’s just that not every time there is an opportunity to capture them; most of the time, they simply hover over a piece of Fungal Mat and take off again to find other dragons before Lin Jun can prepare.

However, with enough encounters, opportunities will eventually arise.

Half a month ago, two Green Dragons engaged in a deadly battle near a city in the North.

The poisonous dragon breath destroyed a large mushroom field outside the city, and two unfortunate souls who didn’t make it into the city for refuge in time.

The battle lasted for two days and three nights; both dragons were equally matched and had no intention of retreating, ultimately resulting in one dying and the other being gravely injured.

Lin Jun, of course, showed no mercy, collected the dragon’s blood and then disassembled it.

The gravely injured one struggled as it was stuffed into the belly of a giant Puki, and when swallowed, its eyes were filled with indignation and humiliation.

The giant Puki transported this dragon to the Northern Territory, through a pre-dug gigantic tunnel, like riding a slide, delivering the Giant Dragon into the already remodeled and reinforced ruins.

There, Lin Jun treated this dragon.

Initially, the Green Dragon was relatively docile, but as its injuries gradually healed, it became increasingly restless and started attempting to destroy the ruins to escape.

It was time to release Xiao Hai.

As the saying goes, when the Mushroom Lord entrusts Xiao Hai with a great duty, it means to steal its Bright Crystal, endure its struggles...

This time Lin Jun wouldn’t steal Bright Crystal.

The imagery in her consciousness interrupted Xiao Hai’s dream of counting Bright Crystal.

Initially dazed, she yawned and instinctively checked the gems in her arms, felt none were missing, and then gradually focused on the image in the Fungal Network.

In the image, a tailless Lizardman with silver scales was curled in a corner of the massive ruin outside, a Green Dragon constantly trying to attack him, and there was a seemingly unreliable Magic Shield separating them.

At the moment Xiao Hai saw the image clearly, a jolt ran from head to toe, the Black Scales on her body bristling!

"No... Bright Crystal, help!" Xiao Hai anxiously flapped her wings but didn’t know where to fly.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the honest Puki jumped out, directing her to the evil dragon holding the prince.

Xiao Hai burst with unprecedented speed, rushing out of the Mushroom Garden.

The gust of wind even toppled Norris’s Mushroom House nearby.

The black lightning flew through the giant underground passage, finally reaching the snow-covered underground ruins, through a medium-sized tunnel a Giant Dragon couldn’t pass.

Perceiving another dragon approaching, the Green Dragon naturally shifted its attention from the silver little bug.

However, upon seeing Xiao Hai, it seemed somewhat surprised and then smiled: "Svirgis? You’re not shredded yet? Are you coming to fight me?"

The dragon’s face at this moment revealed a very human-like mocking expression.

And Xiao Hai didn’t realize the Green Dragon’s sarcasm, instead roaring within the Fungal Network: "Release, No!"

Then, upon Lin Jun’s reminder, she shouted again.

"Release?" The Green Dragon turned its head back to glance at the tailless silver Lizardman and then, upon inferring Xiao Hai’s intention, burst into laughter, "Hahaha, is Svirgis mixing with a Lizardman like this? And one without a tail! Hahaha!"

The Giant Dragon laughed uproariously for a while.

"I refuse to release!"

Once the words were spoken, a breath of dragon spurted fiercely towards Norris, submerging him along with the Shield in deep green toxic vapors.

The next moment, black lightning accelerated and collided against the Green Dragon, who was suffused with pride.
