In the mist, there was nothing but the sound of waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time... what is it again?\" the Pirate First Mate asked weakly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gerhard, captain of the Wind Feather, merely shook his head, indicating he didn't know either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan asked in confusion, \"Isn't this just another ship from the archipelago that got lost like us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible. There are no ships this large in the archipelago, I've never seen this style, and besides... there isn't a single light on it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Pirate First Mate spoke, he stole a few glances at Dylan, who was no longer using his mimicry—a green-skinned demon, though now was not the time to discuss that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when he said that did Dylan notice it was indeed true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While magic crystal lamps weren't exactly cheap, they were essential for any ship; the Wind Feather had carried four of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a ship this massive and ornately decorated, even a large-scale magic crystal lamp would be reasonable, yet looking at it now, there wasn't a glimmer of light behind the thick fog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, it was far too quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ship of this size would require at least a hundred people to operate; even at this distance, it shouldn't be this silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group exchanged glances, all feeling a sense of unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jun, meanwhile, wondered: did this world have no legends of ghost ships?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Scout was currently using [Sonic Detection Lv6] repeatedly, but it truly couldn't find a single living thing on that ship. If it wasn't a ghost ship, what was it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be the kind where everyone who sees it dies, so no rumors ever spread?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant ship sailed slowly, finally stopping not far away, with the Blood Shark positioned between it and the Wind Feather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it wasn't right next to the Wind Feather, and even though they already knew the ship was enormous, when its hull loomed like a city wall before them, everyone clearly felt the crushing pressure of the behemoth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it planning to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sound finally emerged from the giant ship, but it wasn't a human voice—it was the booming rumble of heavy objects moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And not just one—many!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under their watchful eyes, the rows of square hatches on the giant ship were pushed open one by one, and black cannon barrels slowly extended from within...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cannons!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made no sense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This world didn't even have muskets, so where did cannons come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And shouldn't a \"ghost ship\" be technologically backward, relying solely on the advantage of being immortal and indestructible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How is your technology higher than the locals'? Is this reasonable?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no time to react. The sound of dozens of cannons firing overlapped, deafeningly loud. The Scout, possessing [Sonic Detection], had its entire mushroom body numbed by the shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the Wind Feather was not the target of this volley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Shark was not so lucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the baptism of the heavy cannons, its hull was torn apart as easily as a fragile toy, and even the masts were smashed into several pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Dylan ran to the ship's edge to look, he could only see the wreckage of the Blood Shark slowly sinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how many pirates had survived on board earlier, they were likely all gone now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, the cannons had all retracted, whether to reload or not, he couldn't tell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic power suddenly gathered toward the wreckage of the Blood Shark, the water exploded, and a disheveled figure flew out—it was the mage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time Lin Jun had seen this powerful mage directly, yet pulling up the status panel left Lin Jun filled with doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't that he was too strong or had anything special; Lin Jun was confused as to why this mage was only a Gold-tier with such an ordinary panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only level 43, skills were just ordinary Wind and Fire dual-element magic, and his attributes were nothing exceptional. How did he cast such powerful spells?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer was thrown right in front of Lin Jun in an instant—because of the mist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the mage looked disheveled, his condition appeared much better than the three on the Wind Feather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been suddenly shelled, he clearly didn't intend to swallow his anger. The dense magic power in the mist was mobilized by him, gathering onto the staff that flashed with dazzling light in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sixth-tier magic—Great Storm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jun had seen this spell before; the Gold-tier mage from the Vampire Viscount's squad had used it in the Huang Pishu Happy House.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Great Storm back then was completely incomparable to the one before his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The high-concentration magic environment greatly enhanced the spell's power, allowing this Gold-tier mage to unleash an effect equivalent to a Diamond-tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless wind blades, as large as guillotine blades, whistled out; any one of them could have easily sliced the stone pillar form of the Scout in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These wind blades all spun and struck the giant ship. For a moment, wood chips flew, revealing the three decks inside the giant ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, there were cannons, cannonballs, gunpowder barrels, and various sundries, but not a single living thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mage was clearly stunned for a moment; he had likely assumed he was being attacked by living people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the mage was staring at the broken deck, three ballistae firing grappling hooks extended from the bow of the giant ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watch out above!\" Dylan shouted a warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was too late. The ambushed mage tried to dodge in mid-air, but was still pierced through the body by a grappling hook and fell straight into the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hook was connected to a rope, and as the rope was retracted, the mage's lifeless corpse was dragged up from the sea, finally getting stuck in front of that ballista.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even worse, in a certain instant, without any warning, the giant ship returned to its original state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The traces of destruction caused by the Great Storm all vanished, as if nothing had ever happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the mage's corpse still stuck on the ballista, they would all have suspected they were hallucinating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jun also felt he couldn't comprehend it. If the broken wood chips had flown back to fill the gaps, it could be understood as some kind of time reversal, but what was this instant recovery without any magic fluctuations?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this a bit too much like cheating?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, there was no customer service in this world to complain to about the giant ship hacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hatches on the hull were pushed open again, and this time, the cannon barrels were aimed at the Wind Feather...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guy, how did you survive last time?\" Knowing there was no possibility of survival, the Pirate First Mate couldn't help but complain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Last time, there were only water ghosts...\" the captain of the Wind Feather said, closing his eyes to await death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them were severely wounded and didn't even have the strength to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of physical strength, Dylan wasn't much better off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dylan, I'll build you a cenotaph in the mushroom garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, any last words?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like saying 'Daddy loves you' to Bella?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After I die, will Boss actually jump out and say that to her if he sees Bella one day?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jun thought for a moment, \"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan wore an expression of \"I knew it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I'll struggle a bit more...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the roar of the cannons, Dylan grabbed the Scout, rushed off the ship's edge, and leaped down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wind Feather was a size larger than the Blood Shark, but that difference made no difference in the face of dozens of cannons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After one round of shelling, the Wind Feather also turned into a pile of wreckage floating on the water, with no signs of any living people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief pause, the giant ship started moving again and disappeared into the thick fog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pop—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mushroom cap surfaced from the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cap bobbed up and down, quickly moving to the edge of the Wind Feather's wreckage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tentacle coiled around a larger piece of debris, and the Scout dragged the waterlogged, unconscious Dylan up with all its might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Scout stood beside Dylan and stomped hard on his bloated stomach!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With 52 points of Strength, it quickly stomped Dylan into vomiting up seawater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wreckage didn't look like it would sink for a while, so the Scout swam around the vicinity and finally found a small, relatively intact boat in the Blood Shark's wreckage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rowing to the wreckage, dragging Dylan onto the boat—Lin Jun felt exhausted after just one trip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not physically exhausted, but mentally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't understand this mist at all: first the water ghosts without panels, then the giant ship with cannons, and then the eerie restoration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What exactly is going on with this world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Scout didn't row; it didn't know where to row, so it just let the boat drift with the current.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If water ghosts or the giant ship came again now, it would truly be the end for Dylan, and Lin Jun would be helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, that didn't happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After drifting for a long time, the fog gradually thinned, and even a glimmer of light appeared in the distance—it was the morning sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the small boat was about to completely leave the mist, a crisp voice suddenly reached the fungal network through the Scout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hang in there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1592,"2026-06-17T15:02:37.041Z","2026-06-18T03:34:23.509Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","71d92a59ee783c9669201c1b41a0ab03756c902f216c15af54f1f7ff06a82333","this-dungeon-is-growing-mushrooms-chapter-121","this-dungeon-is-growing-mushrooms-chapter-119",165,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-dungeon-has-sprouted-mushrooms-cover.jpg"]
