Chapter 126

"Come out! Come out! Come out! Come out!"

The last ten monster corpses were thrown in front of the fat-house Puji, and Horn's eyes were red as he shouted, as if shouting like this could make the fat-house more easily pull out good things.

And his few teammates looked helplessly at Horn, who had gone a bit crazy because he had only obtained a pile of mushrooms and waste magic crystals after 20 draws before.

That one could draw prizes with monster corpses at the fat Puji's place on the fifth layer had long been a well-known thing in Dumb Wind Town.

The value of the originally chicken-rib-like monster corpses had increased significantly, and a new distribution method was naturally born from this.

Just like this guy Horn, he didn't want any of the materials harvested along the way; in exchange, all the remaining monster corpses belonged to him, and everyone had to help him transport the monster corpses he killed down.

However, in reality, after trying a few times, many squads no longer used this distribution method.

The reason was simple: if there was a teammate on the way back who had a mental breakdown and entered a state of hysteria or silence, it would have a negative impact on the morale of the entire squad...

The fat-house Puji finally finished collecting the monster corpses and began to pull out the rewards.

Everyone heard Horn's breathing become three times heavier.

Mushroom, mushroom, mushroom, waste magic crystal, mushroom...

"Where's the big prize? Where's the big prize? Give me equipment, give me high-level magic crystals!"

A few teammates looked at each other and had already decided to speed up a bit on the way back to withstand less of Horn's low air pressure.

"I hit it! Hahahaha roar roar roar roar!"

Horn's almost inhuman laughter made the three teammates all look over in surprise.

Only to see him kneeling in the middle of a pile of mushrooms and waste magic crystals, holding a dagger that was glowing with a faint luster in both hands, kissing and crying.

Having luster meant it was at least an attribute equipment, and in terms of value, it was more profitable than them going into the dungeon ten times!

This time, no one worried about Horn's low air pressure; now the negative emotions had all come to the three teammates...

However, before they could be sour for a few sentences, a scream that was extremely miserable and awkward, making one's hair stand on end, suddenly came from the mushroom forest.

Even Horn, who was still excited, swallowed the "hahaha" behind, shrank his neck, and returned to the squad.

Facing the unexpected situation, none of them wanted to take risks and hurriedly retreated toward the stairs.

In the mushroom forest, several Puji worked together to pounce on a big Puji that was constantly trembling, blocking the opening on its mushroom cap.

It was this Puji that had just made the strange sound.

Scaring the adventurers was one thing, but even Lin Jun himself had been startled.

Why was it so hard to say something?

Lin Jun's [Human Common Language] was already at level 8, and because he had been using the Dylan translator to learn, he had already mastered most of the basic vocabulary.

There would no longer be a situation where he couldn't understand what the adventurers were saying.

But the problem was, he could only listen now, but how should he speak?

The simplest way was probably to completely parasitize a humanoid creature and then speak through the humanoid creature's mouth.

But that always felt no different from speaking through Dylan's mouth.

Lin Jun wanted to try to see if he could simulate a sound generator with mushrooms.

Anyway, when speaking, it was definitely Lin Jun operating it himself, so there was no skill limit; he just needed to modify the inside of the Puji to be suitable for vocalization.

The idea was beautiful, but the reality was skinny.

The sound generator made by imitating the human throat structure could only make a "poof-poof" jetting sound in the end.

Later, it was gradually magically modified, and the one just now was just one of the failures.

Lin Jun had already decided that he had to change places; directly in the mushroom forest, adventurers would sooner or later spread false rumors that Puji were imprisoning and torturing adventurers in the mushroom forest, which wasn't good.

The new experimental site was chosen under the mushroom forest, in the dungeon he had dug before.

As soon as the Puji entered, a vampire viscount who was starving in the corner reacted reflexively and spoke in Demon language: "I am a little piglet eating dry food."

She thought it was finally time for a meal, but after she finished speaking, the Puji were indifferent, and Louisa could only shrink back into the corner, staring blankly at the Puji.

By the way, he had been obsessed with pinching voice Puji and had forgotten to feed this guy for the past few days; vampires were really resistant to hunger!

It just so happened that there were newly harvested monster corpses, and soon two Puji brought one over and threw it to the vampire.

Speaking of which, shouldn't vampires have that kind of setting?

Lying in a coffin and sleeping for a hundred years without eating or drinking; didn't this world have that?

He would ask Louisa about this later; now Lin Jun was still more interested in speaking.

So Louisa, who had barely eaten four-tenths full, just shrank in the corner, watching a group of Puji making ghost-crying and wolf-howling sounds from time to time opposite her.

At first, when she heard it, she would subconsciously tremble, but after a long time, she gradually got used to it; it was just that the sleep quality in the prison became worse, and she was startled awake by strange sounds from time to time.

If there was any benefit, ever since the Puji came here, her food at least hadn't been forgotten again...

One day, Louisa was awakened by the sound again.

According to past experience, the sound wouldn't last long, and the next time it would make a sound would be at least an hour or two later.

She blinked her eyes, preparing to go back to sleep; sleeping more was good, sleeping more made it less easy to be hungry.

"Lou... i... sa..."

Louisa suddenly opened her eyes wide.

That voice was twisted and evil, accompanied by an eerie echo, and as unpleasant as stones rubbing together.

But the key was, this voice didn't appear in her mind!

Who?

Who was calling her name?

For a moment, Louisa fantasized that a demon with an unpleasant voice had been sent to save her.

Because no one here knew her name, and the voice in her mind had never asked for her name; the person who could call her name must be someone from the Demon side!

But this fantasy was shattered in less than a second.

The voice was made by a long-strip-shaped Puji that could almost no longer be seen as a Puji.

After the imitation structure vocalization failed, Lin Jun completely let himself go.

As the saying goes, a black cat or a white cat, a cat that catches a mouse is a good cat.

Being able to make a sound counted as success; there was no need to dwell on any standard result.

And this long-strip-shaped one was the first version of the voice Puji.

Airflow was drummed in from the tail, and after a complex structure inside, it finally achieved the effect of speaking.

Of course, because it was the first version, there were still some problems such as echoes and only being able to say one or two words at a time.

But this was taking the first step, right? Lin Jun believed that with improvements, it would definitely get better and better in the future.

Seeing that the vampire recognized that he was calling her name, Lin Jun controlled the Puji to shout even more happily.

"Lou... Lou... isa... Loui... sa..."

"Ah... ah—!!!"

Louisa suddenly hugged her head with both hands, rolling around and roaring wildly.

Finally, regardless of the punishment of possibly growing mushrooms, she ran wildly toward the exit.

However, because Lin Jun had never let her eat her fill, two elite Puji guarding outside easily subdued her and used [Hallucination Spores] to make her quiet down.

Obviously, this Demon language learning machine had a slight malfunction; maybe it had been in the basement for too long and its brain had become dusty.

Should he let her go mining to get some fresh air?
