Chapter 101

【Rift Wind Claw lv4】

The moment Norris brushed past the Stone-Skinned Wild Boar, his sharp claws plowed several deep grooves into its thick skin covered in black hair, and the dark red muscle fibers turned outward.

It looked very miserable, but in reality, this little injury was not fatal to the Stone-Skinned Wild Boar at all, it could only enrage it.

The pig hooves stepped on the ground quickly, and it turned its head to charge at Norris.

Norris also knew this, relying on the special vision provided by the fungal network, he "saw" the wild boar's movements without turning around.

Since connecting to the fungal network mentioned by the boss, in the area controlled by the boss, he had obtained this special vision.

It could see further than eyes, and there were no blind spots in three hundred and sixty degrees, it was just not as accustomed as seeing with eyes.

When the tusks struck again with the stench of the wild boar, Norris suddenly jumped up on the spot.

The wild boar's charge lost its target but couldn't stop for a while, directly crashing and breaking the thick tree trunk behind.

And Norris seized this pause, and blasted the Mushroom Cannon that had been fully charged with energy in his right chest.

After the explosion, the wild boar that had lost its hind limbs was still struggling in the pool of blood, but it could no longer pose a threat.

Stepping on the wild boar, the sharp claws sank into its head, ending the battle.

Norris panted, lowered his head to look at the blood dripping from his claw tips, and a glimmer of excitement flashed in his eyes.

This sense of control, stepping on powerful monsters he once thought were strong, and being at the top of the food chain, made him infinitely intoxicated.

This was a joy that the Norris who could only knock stones in the mine day after day could not experience!

【Level Up: lv22→lv23】

The cleaning of Slimes over the past few days, plus the monsters he hunted alone in the last two days, were all kills across levels.

Leveling up again in a short period of time was within expectations.

The feeling of strength growth brought by the stat increase made Norris hug his arms tightly, and he didn't even notice that his claws were grinding against the scales and clicking.

After everything was over, Norris leaned contentedly against the corpse of the Stone-Skinned Wild Boar, not caring at all about the blood and stench on it.

Looking at the somewhat damaged clothes on his body, Norris simply threw them all to the side.

Maybe the boss was right, since he had already become like this, there was no need to be bound by any so-called sense of shame!

He should be freer...

"Norris, hide, there are adventurers heading your way."

"Oh oh!"

Picking up the clothes on the ground, Norris put them back on in two or three moves and drilled into a dense bush.

The boss's perception ability was very strong, and he could warn him in advance every time, letting him hide.

After all, he couldn't be seen in his current state.

Losing his human identity, for Norris, it wasn't painful; instead, he felt relaxed after not having to consider paying off debts.

The only uncomfortable thing was the food; the only seasoning at the boss's place was salt...

Footsteps came, and Norris buried himself completely in the leaves.

A somewhat familiar voice came from the front.

"The sixth floor is indeed dark..." Feiling complained with some annoyance.

It was that girl!

For a moment, Norris wanted to go up and apologize for his behavior of running away last time.

If possible, he also wanted to ask for the girl's name.

However, before getting up, Norris caught a glimpse of a cold light from the corner of his eye; it was his own claws, claws that could easily tear through wild boar skin...

That's right, he was no longer human.

Debts, or the chance encounter with that girl, had all disappeared along with his human identity.

In the darkness, Norris lowered his body even further... Vila beside Feiling looked up at the glowing dome: "Aren't there fluorescent mushrooms, so it's not completely dark."

Behind the two, Feiyin was maintaining an orange-yellow illumination spell with her staff.

"The dome is so high, what's the use of that little fluorescence? At least there are some mushrooms on the ground on the fifth floor, but it's pitch black on the sixth floor!

It's so dark that it's hard to recognize the way; don't end up not being able to find that Flower Demon from last time."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I remember the way." Vila said, shaking the map in his hand, on which he had made marks.

"There's a bloody smell!" Feiyin, who had been silent, suddenly reminded.

The three of them immediately became alert.

The light on Feiyin's staff became brighter, even shining on the bush where Norris was hiding, but Norris was hiding well and didn't reveal any scales.

Soon Vila and the others discovered the dead Stone-Skinned Wild Boar.

"Just died." Feiling judged after one look.

Vila squatted down, checked the wild boar, and said strangely: "Claw wounds and explosion damage at the same time, it should be an adventurer, but claw weapons are very rare, I don't remember anyone in town using this kind of weapon. Also, since they killed it, why didn't they take the tusks?"

After two seconds of silence, Vila suddenly said in a low voice: "Let's go!"

Seeing Vila's performance, the twins reacted immediately and quickly followed Vila.

Feiling even took out special arrows, ready to draw her bow at any time.

Ever since they were attacked by raiders that time, the three of them had discussed countermeasures for when they encountered them next time.

Of course, whether it was easy to use or not depended on actual combat.

The three of them left quickly.

After they disappeared from sight, Norris ran back to the fifth floor like he was fleeing.

He hid back in his mushroom house.

This was the first time since waking up that he felt lost about the future and depressed about being "non-human."

Not far away, Xiao Hei, who witnessed him running wildly back to the mushroom house, lowered her head and took a big bite of the Puji that had no movement in her arms, revealing a happy expression.

Her schedule for today was packed!

After waking up, count the shiny things, eat Puji, and then count the shiny things!

Lin Jun naturally noticed Norris's situation, although he didn't understand why he would be so depressed after seeing those three.

But it was nothing more than some small emotions after becoming non-human; didn't Dylan have a bit of that at the beginning?

To be honest, Lin Jun couldn't empathize at all; at least he still had hands, feet, and a mouth, and could taste delicious food.

Look at himself again, a mushroom!

How could Lin Jun empathize with him.

Lin Jun neither knew how to comfort him, nor did he want to waste effort to comfort him; at most, he could give him some special nutrition?

In the end, his requirement for Norris was just to do some experiments on adding skills, and he had no other requests.

As for participating in the mission to eliminate Slimes, or running to the sixth floor to fight monsters to level up, those were all things Norris wanted to do himself, and Lin Jun didn't object.

Even if Norris suddenly became decadent and holed up in the mushroom house all day, it wouldn't affect Lin Jun's experiments.

If he really couldn't think straight and committed suicide, it could only be said to be a little regrettable.

After all, his side was "non-human," which was an unchangeable fact; if he couldn't adjust his mentality and accept it, Lin Jun couldn't help it.

Everything depended on what Norris thought in the end.

……

The location where the big Flower Demon was found on the sixth floor.

Vila and the others looked at the giant flower bud left in the small basin...

Where is the Flower Demon?

Where did such a big Flower Demon go?
