Chapter 102

Deep in the tunnel, the tremor of Puji shell chiseling never stopped in the darkness.

Several Ox-Horse Puji collected the rubble on the ground and transported it out.

Because the tunnel was already hundreds of meters long, it took a lot of time to go back and forth, so now the number of Ox-Horse Puji responsible for transporting rubble exceeded the number of digging Puji smashing stones.

This was far beyond the mining range of Amethyst, and everything dug out was worthless stone, but the Puji were still doing the work under orders.

Due to the long distance, Lin Jun even had to spread the fungal mat in.

To say this entire project had no profit and was labor-intensive was not an exaggeration at all.

But if he could dig out the dungeon in the end, everything would be worth it!

Clang—

Different from the ordinary mining sound, it was like hitting something exceptionally hard, and a Puji fell to the ground trembling—it died.

The huge recoil force destroyed its internal mycelium structure, but it was not a big problem; death was not the end.

Because these digging Puji would hurt themselves from time to time, Lin Jun gave them all 【Mycelium Reorganization lv4】; even if they were shaken to death like this, as long as they were still relatively complete, they would be able to crawl up and work again after lying down for a while.

What Lin Jun cared about was that it was just ordinary rock layers in front of it; why would there be such a huge recoil damage?

Clang—

Just as Lin Jun was preparing to study it, there was the same sound again, and another Puji also trembled and fell softly.

Lin Jun immediately stopped all digging Puji from working, concentrated them near the location where the two Puji were shaken to death, and carefully carried out detailed mining.

Not long after, a "wall" was cleared out.

Calling it a "wall," in reality, it was just the rock seen everywhere in the tunnel, looking like it had nothing special, but it was really flat!

It didn't look flat, but it felt flat to the touch.

There wasn't a trace of unevenness, and the Puji's shell couldn't even feel friction when pressed against it!

It was just absurd!

If one had to describe it, it was a very thin but very solid transparent wall that separated the inside and outside.

This "wall" was different from the air wall Lin Jun had encountered on the stairs before; the air wall felt like a spring, just a force preventing you from moving forward.

This transparent wall was different; it was absurdly hard.

To test the hardness of the transparent wall, Lin Jun even used Mushroom Cannon and Self-Destruct, which even caused a small-scale collapse and took a long time to clear the rubble.

Even so, the transparent wall remained motionless.

Lin Jun even pulled Xiao Hei over, letting her try to see if she could smash the transparent wall.

One punch!

The transparent wall remained motionless!

Instead, Xiao Hei, who was always successful, hugged her right claw and groaned on the ground in pain, the movement so loud it almost caused another collapse.

Afterward, she hid in the mushroom house and ignored the mushroom; Lin Jun could only rummage through the small treasury, didn't find ordinary gems, and could only pick a ring with +1 Strength to give to Xiao Hei to brush her favorability back.

Since he couldn't dig horizontally, Lin Jun had the Puji change direction and start digging spirally upward.

This time it didn't take long to dig; after half a day, with another trembling sound—he reached the top!

The height of this location was probably the junction of the fourth and fifth floors.

So... was he living in a big glass box?

Although he had long expected that he couldn't dig out, discovering that he was living in a big glass box still felt quite subtle, reminding Lin Jun of the petri dish in his previous life...

——

United Kingdom capital, Covenant City.

In this city where every inch of land is worth an inch of gold, there was a magnificent but sparsely populated building in the east—the headquarters of the Relic Association. This building, which was over 300 years old, had its main body built of white granite, supplemented by wooden decorative structures, and time had left many traces on it.

Under the noon sun, the entire building presented a honey-colored warm tone.

A gorgeous carriage pulled by four black horses stopped in front of the main gate, and the striking emblem on the carriage represented the family he belonged to.

Behind the carriage, there were also four guards on horseback.

Eric handed the reins to the servant who came up, and after getting off, he personally opened the carriage door and welcomed the young lady sitting inside.

"Miss Inanna, Mr. Eric, welcome to visit."

A Relic Association staff member who had been waiting at the door greeted them with a smile; Inanna looked at the badge representing the scholar status on his chest and bowed slightly, performing a noble etiquette.

"Hero Summoning" had long passed, but the Demon race, which had suffered a loss, had never stopped their subsequent retaliatory actions, and Inanna had been forced to squat at home for several months like that.

However, she hadn't forgotten that she still had to help Lin Jun find information about the dungeon.

This time, after much pestering, she finally obtained her father's consent, allowing her to come to the Relic Association accompanied by Eric.

Eric on the side naturally guessed that Inanna's purpose for coming here was probably related to that letter last time; he had also sent people to inquire about the man named Dylan.

Although there were suspicious points like suddenly obtaining a not-so-small amount of money to buy anti-birth agents.

But logically speaking, he shouldn't have had any intersection with the young lady.

Eric judged that he should just be a middleman, but Eric couldn't find out anything about the person behind him.

Recently, even Dylan had disappeared, and the investigation could only be stopped for the time being.

Guided by the scholar, Inanna passed through the hall, walked for nearly ten minutes in the corridor, and came to a place similar to a library.

"Level 2 access permission."

The scholar took out a document stamped with the seal of Duke Amara and handed it to the old man guarding the door.

After the old man looked at it, he signed the document and let Inanna in, while Eric stayed in place; in principle, he wasn't qualified to enter—Level 2 access permission was granted to Inanna by Duke Amara.

One could even say that if it weren't for accompanying Inanna, he wouldn't have been able to enter the headquarters of the Relic Association.

"Miss Inanna, you applied to consult information related to the dungeon, right?" The scholar walking in front asked gently.

Although he behaved like a real reception attendant, Inanna didn't dare to be negligent; after all, her magic teacher was only a scholar.

"Yes."

The scholar took Inanna through three compartments and came to a row of bookshelves.

"The information about the dungeon is all in this room; the scope covered is very wide; you can pick and choose what to read.

Because it is 'Secret' level information, it cannot be taken out; please read it here."

Inanna first nodded, then looked at the entire row of bookshelves and was a little dazed; she didn't expect there would be so many!

She looked at the scholar for help.

Seeing her appearance, the scholar finally couldn't hold back a light laugh, and after thinking for a moment, stepped forward and said: "I personally suggest you start reading from this one."

Saying that, he pulled a book from the bookshelf: "Dungeon Structure Beyond the Naked Eye"
