It would be best if they could find the rift Inanna had gone down originally; if they couldn't find it, they would at least explore a path without obstacles that could reach the bottom smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, a strange thing happened. With so many rifts, even if some merged after extending downward, there were still nearly 20 routes left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter which route, after flying down to a similar depth, what they saw were the Thousand-Pivot Mayflies living there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only difference was that in a small number of places, individual high-level Thousand-Pivot Mayflies lived, while in most areas, groups of low-level Thousand-Pivot Mayflies lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And regardless of whether they were high-level or low-level, when they saw the Bat Puji flying down, they all chose to rush up and eat the Puji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bat Puji couldn't outfly them at all and could only self-destruct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was strange. If all routes had Thousand-Pivot Mayflies, how did Inanna get down originally?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she transformed into a Puji back then, she hadn't connected to the fungal network, so she really couldn't observe the surrounding situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But drifting down so slowly, if she had encountered these Thousand-Pivot Mayflies, she should have been snatched away long ago. How could she have fallen down successfully?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or was it that something had changed there after he left the deep-layer area?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The influence of the monster tide?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jun wasn't sure, but he knew that his direct-access plan would probably have to be reconsidered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't decided yet whether to fight a battle without the advantage of terrain in a place far from his home base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Lin Jun was still making a final struggle, hoping to find some dead corner not occupied by Thousand-Pivot Mayflies to sneak down, he didn't notice the work the new employee had set up for him here...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Flower Python was coiled around Norris, leaving him unable to move, its snake mouth biting Norris’s shoulder, seemingly injecting venom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Norris had 【Venom Resistance】 and 【Paralysis Resistance】, so he wasn't affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even without being poisoned, his situation wasn't looking optimistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His left arm was pinned to a tree trunk by three root systems of a Flower Demon, and only his right hand could move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Norris hadn't expected the python to coordinate with the Flower Demon, and he had carelessly fallen into a passive 1-on-2 situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already started to regret filing his nails. With his only remaining right hand, he couldn't deal effective damage to the python in front of him without claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he didn't counterattack, he was going to be killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered if he would also be thrown into the swamp area if he died?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head to clear his mind, Norris used his only remaining right hand to hook onto the python’s body in front of him, used all his strength to tear open a wound, and then bit down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Neurotoxin lv4】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also had poison!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that this toxin was no different from saliva when used, and he never had a chance to use it in battle. He hadn't expected to use it today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the Flower Python didn't have corresponding resistance, and under the effect of the toxin, the snake body that was constricting Norris loosened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Norris freed his hand to pull out the root system pinning his left hand. He didn't even have time to deal with the Flower Python beneath him and turned to hide in the bushes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he was in such a hurry was that in the perception provided by the fungal network, three adventurers were coming toward him, and he had to hide quickly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another root system drilled out from the ground beneath his feet, piercing Norris’s sole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Flower Demon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Norris hated this Flower Demon to death now. The injury and pain didn't matter; since being modified, minor injuries healed very quickly, but this timing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The adventurers’ voices came, and Norris froze on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A demon lizardman?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A bit like it, but he has no tail.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, even inside the dungeon...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few words, the adventurers had judged his camp based on Norris’s appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The adventurers seemed a bit afraid of the demon race, but someone said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He seems to be injured!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Norris pulled the root system out of his foot, the three adventurers had already faintly surrounded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demons were dangerous, but the reward for killing a demon spy was also substantial. In a situation where monsters and demons were both injured, anyone would want to try to be the fisherman who benefited. Norris had originally been thinking about whether to turn and run or try to explain, but when he saw a halfling among the adventurers, he stopped his retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Norris didn't know the halfling’s name, but he remembered the iconic burn mark under the other’s left eyelid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was this person who had stolen his silver coins, and after being discovered by him, had even ganged up with his companions to beat him up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Norris didn't know why he suddenly stopped running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what if he knew the other party was someone who had bullied him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In all these years, had he been bullied any less?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he was still injured; he should have turned and run while asking the boss for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why did he bare his claws and approach them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subsequent memory was a bit blurry. Norris only felt his breathing becoming more rapid, his body dancing outside of his consciousness as if controlled by a devil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he came to his senses, the first thing he noticed was the thick smell of blood lingering at the tip of his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were his, and some were the adventurers’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath him was the mutilated corpse of that halfling, and the other two adventurers also lay not far away—one covered in claw wounds, and one strangled to death by tree roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tree roots?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, a tree demon named Xiao Lu, surrounded by Puji, walked up to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it was often active on the sixth floor, Norris knew it; it was also one of the boss’s subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like he had received its help?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Norris tried hard to recall the details just now, but could only remember the sensation of claws tearing through flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tha... thank you.\" Although he couldn't remember, it didn't prevent Norris from saying thank you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the tree demon just asked again: \"Are you okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeming to realize something, Norris lowered his head to look at his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wound on his abdomen was constantly bleeding, he was kneeling on the ground because his right leg below the knee was gone, and there was this dagger stuck in his heart...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is to say, how could he have defeated three Silver-rank adventurers...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Lu caught Norris, who fell headlong, and hurriedly contacted Lin Jun through the fungal network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jun was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't paid attention for just a moment, so how did it end up in this state?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jun couldn't understand; he should have said to let Norris hide when encountering adventurers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if an unexpected situation occurred, Norris should have called him in time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did it end up like this, both sides suffering, and in the end, Xiao Lu had to report it!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instantly took over the Puji that were originally following Xiao Lu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few Puji were responsible for dealing with the adventurers’ corpses—stripping them and throwing them where there was fungal carpet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining Puji rolled up Norris and his right leg that had fallen into the grass and headed toward the fifth floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clear the way! And tell me what happened by the way.\" Lin Jun directly ordered Xiao Lu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Lu took the order and walked at the very front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not sure of the specifics. I sensed Norris fighting someone, so I came over to take a look. When I arrived, I saw him almost killed by the adventurers, so in a hurry, I killed one adventurer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tree demon was also connected to the fungal network, so it was normal to be able to sense situations a bit further away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jun had also required the tree demon not to actively attack adventurers, so Xiao Lu specifically explained it here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jun didn't ask any more questions; the matter would probably have to wait until Norris woke up to be clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was currently paying attention to things in several directions at the same time, so he really couldn't be thorough about the situation in the entire dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only the fungal carpet had a playback function...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or if that long-dormant 【Mental Integration】 skill could upgrade, that would be good too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding Norris’s matter, he hoped it wasn't him who started the trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rules had been told to Norris; a subordinate who didn't follow the rules was not a help but a trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking carefully, among his four subordinates, it was actually Xiao Lu, this tree demon, who was the most worry-free?\u003C\u002Fp>",1604,"2026-06-17T15:02:37.041Z","2026-06-18T03:34:23.509Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","068efd6110465d1497a34ca89fb25ddb9381e8bf385dc8cb92024b754c9e022a","this-dungeon-is-growing-mushrooms-chapter-108","this-dungeon-is-growing-mushrooms-chapter-106",165,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-dungeon-has-sprouted-mushrooms-cover.jpg"]
