Mushroom Lord in the Underground City-Chapter 213 - 210: Fragment?!
Mercy? Sympathy?
Lin Jun felt no such emotions towards Chis.
Look at what Chis did in the Deep Area, devouring every cave around, leaving not even a patch of turf.
And just look at the Middle Layer where Chis resided, any other demons there?
Not to mention that the first encounter was an ambush on Little Norris.
Peace and symbiosis?
Translated, it means sparing its life is just giving it a chance to backstab!
Everyone knows each other’s true nature, so don’t pretend to be a peace-loving person, it’s disgusting!
A dead Chis is a good Chis, dismember it, maybe Lin Jun’s control skills could reach a new level!
The moment the attack command was issued, hundreds of Mushroom Cannons launched, even Norris fired two shots.
Chis seemed unprepared for Puki to abruptly start firing without a word, with more than thirty Chis vanquished by the Puki’s initial strike.
The battle erupted, but it presented a one-sided scene.
Without anything to restrain Xiao Hai, Evil Eye was like a lamb awaiting slaughter on the battlefield, practically useless, petrifying a few Puki in haste before a flying Xiao Hai kicked it from the air to the ground, and then stomped it to pieces.
This was the result of Xiao Hai not wanting to set down the two Puki in its hands, opting to use only its legs in combat.
As for the other minions, they were completely being systematically eradicated by the Puki.
Throughout this process, Chis never ceased trying to communicate.
"Peace, submission, symbiosis!"
"Secrets, exchange, survival!"
"Sun! Sun! Swap!"
...
...
...
At first, it was comprehensible, but that bit about "Sun" later, completely unintelligible.
However, regardless of comprehension, Lin Jun had no intention of engaging in communication with it.
Show off to a dying creature?
If it were someone significant on the other side, Lin Jun might be a bit interested.
But if it’s just a clever bug, then forget it, too uninteresting.
Lin Jun’s disregard and the Puki’s relentless advance seemed to provoke Chis.
In the telepathy channel, a shrill, resentful "dying howl" was transmitted!
Annoyed, Lin Jun abruptly severed the link.
And in the next moment,
a Six Claw Chis suddenly went insane, relentlessly digging in the ruins near the "Heart"!
Amidst flying debris, it unearthed a stone emitting intense heat and blinding light!
[Divine Artifact: Sunstone (Fragment)]
?!
Sunstone Fragment!
The Six Claw, unbothered by the scorching heat sizzling on its claws and the rising white smoke, held the fragment tightly and dashed madly towards a narrow passage leading into the depths of the castle!
"Catch it! Leave that thing behind!" Now Lin Jun was truly anxious.
Xiao Hai wandered around, bewildered, not understanding what the boss meant.
Norris wanted to pursue, but the speed of the Battle Mushrooms was not fast.
Only a blood-red shadow tearing through the air!
Transformed into a bat, Louisa, entwined with sharp blood threads, dashed forward at incredible speed, quickly vanishing into the dim passageway’s end!
Ah... this...
Feeling the Little Pig nearing the edge of the Fungal Network’s control, Lin Jun hesitated but ultimately did not recall the Little Pig.
The original plan was to have Xiao Hai pursue it; at Xiao Hai’s full speed, it would soon catch up, but unfortunately, this creature was a bit too stupid!
The Little Pig was fast enough, but pursuing would take it out of the Network’s coverage.
It could be said to be the perfect opportunity for defection.
Run out, circle back while the Fungal Mat hasn’t fully covered the Underground City, then run all the way back to the Empire or something...
But in the end, Lin Jun didn’t stop the Little Pig because the order was issued by him, and he indeed longed for the Sunstone Fragment.
One more fragment means immense magic power! It means a stronger Puki Army!
Speaking of which, the "Sun" mentioned before must refer to this!
Surely Chis snagged it while sweeping the Deep Area!
Damn it, if I hadn’t come this time, wouldn’t I never be able to complete this Divine Artifact in a lifetime?
Chis, you truly deserve to die!
As the last of Chis’s minions had its head blown off, the Puki stood below the "Heart".
Chis tried telepathy contact again, and this time Lin Jun didn’t refuse.
Thinking about this thief having stolen his fragment, Lin Jun rarely had a bit of interest in "end-of-life care," and connected the link.
However, Chis merely transmitted a simple message.
"Your home good, my home, rare, stronger Chis none. Next time, eat you!"
Incomprehensible.
Next time? From where will you come...
[Race: Chis-Heart (Split Body)]
[Skill: Split Body Level 1]
???
The panel of the Chis Heart before him suddenly changed.
What’s going on?
The skill left was only [Split Body], with all other information vanished.
Bang!
The Puki smashed the heart to a pulp, the flesh sliding down the intersected columns, and as the Fungal Mat spread over, under Lin Jun’s magic acceleration, it swiftly decomposed this heap of things.
[Seven Sins of Greed triggered]
[Plunder Skill: Split Body Level 1]
Gone...
No [Spiritual Integration], no [Subordinate Control], so many skills indeed vanished!
What does this mean?
After such a long fight, with so much effort spent, we finally won the victory, yet the anticipated reward is gone?
What a joke!
Split Body?
Doppelgangers?
Surely hidden somewhere, look at me find you!
————
A secluded side door of the castle, dim and damp, a corner yet to be covered by the Fungal Mat.
A ragged, one-armed Demon Race held a faintly pulsating flesh ball with its remaining hand.
Under the watch of two Six Claws, he stumbled out of the Middle Area’s bounds.
He was among the first Demon Race to escape, originally on the verge of death after being ambushed, yet Chis, for some reason, changed its mind and saved him.
"Already... already out," the Demon Race’s voice was hoarse and broken, tinged with a hint of hope, "the antidote to the poison..."
"None, poison."
"What?" The Demon Race’s murky eyes flashed with a crest of confusion.
Poof!
The flesh ball abruptly shot out a sharp, bone-spike-like appendage, swift as lightning, piercing precisely through its forehead!
The Demon Race’s body stiffened momentarily and then fell limp to the ground.
The flesh ball instantly ejected four slender, mucus-covered limbs, firmly clasping the jagged rocks at the gorge’s edge.
It didn’t pause in the slightest, swiftly crawling away from the castle’s direction!
Midway, a rotund and sluggish Fat Worm seemed intrigued by the fast-moving little creature.
Its bloated body lunged forward fiercely, the giant mouth filled with fangs snapping at the Chis flesh ball!
Chis twisted, narrowly brushing past the Fat Worm’s giant mouth in evasion!
However, as if enraged, the Fat Worm growled, its massive body exploding with an unbelievably second pounce!
Crack!
With a tooth-grinding bone-crunching sound, a mucus-covered leg was seized firmly in the Fat Worm’s mouth.
Excruciating pain unmistakably manifested!
So painful it wanted to roll, so painful it wanted to stab those mushrooms!
But Chis’s flesh ball dared not linger, with the remaining three limbs frantically alternating, dragging its mutilated body, leaving a trail of thick purple blood, pathetically disappearing at the canyon’s end...
