it is unknown whether they have confirmed it or are still investigating deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Hero is only Level 18, and it doesn't look like there is much protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking from another perspective, if Lin Jun were the Emperor of the Hermit Empire, he would send capable subordinates to slaughter him to prevent future trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jun himself is a Hero, so naturally, he knows that the so-called Hero does not have that kind of sudden burst of power and leveling up in the midst of a crisis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were, he wouldn't have been so miserable at the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So... what exactly do the humans want to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that they are using the Hero as bait?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it this way, it seems somewhat possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just that being a Hero and actually being used as bait, with life and death in the hands of others, is too miserable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following this line of thought, this Silver Sand Bay is likely to become a battlefield for both sides to fight, so it is not suitable to stay long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jun has no interest in participating in the struggle between humans and demons; he hasn't even figured out his own faction affiliation yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It really is... even though the skill panel and such are so much like a game, can't the faction aspect also be like a game, where teammates are marked blue and enemies are marked red, simple and clear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Dilan, the clues about his daughter are now completely broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no way, so he can only give up for the time being and board the ship for the return journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he also brought that batch of Red Reef Fruits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Dilan, this result is mixed; at least it is not the news of his daughter's death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Lin Jun...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is truly quite indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From beginning to end, Lin Jun only consumed one capacity of [Kinship Manipulation] to accompany Dilan wandering around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jun's goal is to see the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demon spies, Sword Saint, Abyssal Magic, mist, Hero...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, the harvest is quite abundant, at least giving him a rough understanding of many things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could successfully transport the [Delicious] Red Reef Fruits back in the end, it would be perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven bless that he doesn't encounter mist and pirates again; it was fine that he lost Dilan's gold coins and +4 pendant last time, but this time he is carrying Lin Jun's fruits...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Dilan embarked on the return journey, two carriages also drove into the area of Yafeng Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the comfortable carriage, the white-haired young man had a gloomy look in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though this month-long trek was about to end, not a trace of joy could be found on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half of the farmland in the villages seen along the way had suffered a disaster, destroyed by artificial poisoning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their luck, too, had not been as fortunate as at the beginning, and they had not captured a second spy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they didn't catch any, there was no lack of corpses of Demon spies who had been caught outside the towns they passed along the way—executed and exposed to the public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was undoubtedly the Empire's scheme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Dukes of the Empire, while bloodthirsty, evil, twisted, and perverted, were by no means stupid; it was impossible for them to consume their own spies for no reason like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn't be that they thought their spy network was spread too wide and were sacrificing some to reduce expenses, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They must have other backup plans; is it on the side of the Elves?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he knew these were things that only the highest level of his father's group should consider, what he saw and heard along the way still made Fal unable to help but think, wasting quite a bit of energy for nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A peeled fruit was handed to Fal's lips; he opened his mouth to take it and swallowed it quite naturally. The taste was plain and unremarkable; after all, this was just supplies purchased on the spot during the second half of the journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The delicacies brought out from the City of Oaths earlier had long since been consumed halfway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Fal didn't actually care about this; although he was usually exquisite in his food, clothing, and daily use, he considered himself not to care about these cravings of the mouth and belly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the carriage had already driven into the town, with continuous wooden buildings on both sides of the main road, Fal decided to get off and take a look; seeing it with his own eyes should yield some information that wouldn't appear in the reports.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first thing he saw after getting off the carriage was a cluster of mushrooms...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having walked only a few dozen meters, Fal's brows were deeply locked together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mushroom clusters could be seen everywhere, growing under the eaves of wooden houses and in corners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people eating by the roadside had fluorescent light on their bowls and around their mouths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words he heard most along the way were \"Poochi\" and \"mushroom\"; almost no matter what they were talking about, they would mention them a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This small town... is very wrong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when those diners, still with fluorescent light on their mouths, cast their gazes in unison toward Fal, an outsider dressed in finery, it gave Fal the illusion of having entered hostile territory and being targeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This feeling lasted until he was outside the guild—the guild was built of stone and didn't grow mushrooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The branch president, or rather the former branch president Oberon, was rarely not drunk today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his eye sockets were sunken and he looked like someone who was clearly over-drinking, Oberon still mustered his spirits and completed the handover work with Fal in the lobby in front of everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calling it a handover, it was actually just handing over the branch guild seal, introducing the personnel within the guild, and finally saying a few empty official words to each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was purely going through the motions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He really hates you.\" Watching Oberon leave, Lilian whispered to Fal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fal nodded; he naturally noticed it too, after all, there was originally a process of having dinner together, but it seemed the other party had omitted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the reason Oberon hated him, he could also guess a thing or two, but he didn't care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting to know the employees still remaining in the branch, such as Mirabelle and others, once again, Fal sat in the branch president's office and issued the first order after taking office—organize all information about the dungeon after the Demon Tide and send it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The order was naturally issued to Mirabelle; although Fal had brought accompanying clerical staff, he had just arrived and hadn't officially taken over the corresponding positions, and he wasn't prepared to waste so much time waiting in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fal didn't have the idea of replacing important positions in the original branch with people he brought; if the original people in the branch could be used smoothly, it wasn't impossible to keep them in their original positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mirabelle naturally knew this was an opportunity to show herself, so before the sun set, two large stacks of documents were placed on Fal's desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the more he looked, the more gloomy his expression became, and finally—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oberon, that bastard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slapping the table with one hand, Fal now just wanted to catch Oberon back and let Lilian beat him up severely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There should be a limit to slackness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What do you mean by \"every layer of the Amethyst Dungeon doesn't necessarily have amethyst, but it definitely has Poochis\"?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the ninth and tenth layers didn't have them yet, looking at the situation, it was only a matter of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could Oberon act as if he hadn't seen such an obvious change and not even mention it in the report submitted to the headquarters?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what is this about \"Poochis starting to rent out lighting Poochis\"?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doesn't this mean that this kind of monster has shown commercial thinking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For such an abnormal situation, that Oberon actually didn't take any action!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That guy Oberon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fal decided in his heart that after the mushroom matter was dealt with, the report submitted back must severely denounce Oberon, that moth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1413,"2026-06-17T15:10:41.637Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","72defd0931c1a98e6e62e0532962e2fdf33a99d00fdb3705d9ee4abcbd85006f","this-dungeon-has-sprouted-mushrooms-chapter-156","this-dungeon-has-sprouted-mushrooms-chapter-154",165,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-dungeon-has-sprouted-mushrooms-cover.jpg"]
