Damn! Damn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lacus quickened his pace; he had to find the Holy Scripture quickly and get out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't encounter any difficulties along the way; some Puji, scorpions, snakes, and other monsters, he solved them all easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at the fifth floor all the way, the black stone's light finally looked like it was about to go out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's on this floor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Lacus's view, either the adventurer who stole the Holy Scripture died in the dungeon, or the Holy Scripture's old problem flared up again, controlling the holder to run to a dangerous place and quietly slaughter people coming and going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wooden sign standing at the exit attracted Lacus's attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is this? Fifth-floor rules...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After scanning it once, Lacus shifted his gaze away and didn't take it to heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it was really useful, but for one, he was going to find the Holy Scripture and couldn't walk on the mushroom road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, after all, it was just the fifth floor with a level cap of 25.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the guidance of the black stone, Lacus soon deviated from the mushroom road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Lacus's surprise, along the way, except for getting a bunch of mycelium stuck to his feet, he didn't encounter any obstacles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even thought he would encounter some traps or monsters!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, until now, he hadn't seen a single living thing; this fifth floor wouldn't be an empty floor, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't until he reached the mushroom forest that he encountered living things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some Puji that were leaning against mushroom trees and camouflaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also accidentally bumped into one, felt it was soft, and then discovered them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, these Puji had no aggression at all, and didn't seem to have any territorial awareness; he entered the mushroom forest and walked to their side without any reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was happy not to have to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the black stone in his hand getting dimmer and dimmer, his dead heart felt as if it were beating again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he stood in front of a stone pier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>？？？\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was slightly different from what Lacus thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought he would meet one or a group of controlled adventurers and have to fight before he could take the Holy Scripture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or find the Holy Scripture beside some white bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why was it a stone pier?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wisp of blood condensed into a pellet between his fingers, preparing to destroy the stone pier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that before the blood pellet was fired, the stone pier attacked first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The suddenly gathered energy made Lacus in front of him look shocked; just after taking two steps back, the stone pier exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rubble smashed Lacus's cheek, but he had no time to care about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the mess, he vaguely saw the yellow book he had been thinking about day and night!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lacus still maintained a trace of reason and scanned the surroundings, finding no one else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he rush up and pick up the yellow book to look at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, yes!

It's the Holy Scripture!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his excitement, the Holy Scripture was flipped open a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurriedly wanted to close it; he was responsible for tracking the Holy Scripture, so he naturally knew how strong the Holy Scripture's charm ability was, but if he saw a few more words, he might be charmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, even if it was just a glance, he still accidentally saw the dense handwriting on the scorched Holy Scripture:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Run run run run run]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What does that mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfft—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was movement behind him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Lacus turned around quickly, he shot the blood awl he had condensed in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood awl shot onto the Big Black Mushroom's black scales and crashed into blood foam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power looked like it was no different from the Spit Arrow of the Mirages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lacus himself knew that the attack just now should have been able to break the defense of even a Tyrant Bear...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfft—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Big Black Mushroom took another step closer, and Lacus retreated to the edge of the stone wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pages of the Holy Scripture were inadvertently exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I declare first, it has nothing to do with me!]\u003C\u002Fp>",1656,"2026-06-17T15:02:37.041Z","2026-06-18T03:34:23.509Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","1ab8473351b8cac37af3b06002976421505edf7c949ebbb2fde556467992f15f","this-dungeon-is-growing-mushrooms-chapter-104","this-dungeon-is-growing-mushrooms-chapter-102",165,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-dungeon-has-sprouted-mushrooms-cover.jpg"]
