Chapter 130

Louisa's so-called intelligence naturally wouldn't just be "the holy scripture is very dangerous."

She not only said what Lin Jun already knew about the Yellow Book's ability, but also added an extra one, which was also the most important one—don't let the holy scripture absorb enough souls!

This soul refers to the souls of intelligent creatures such as humans, demons, and even tree demons, not including those low-intelligence monsters.

As for why, Louisa herself didn't know.

It was just that this point was specifically emphasized as a precaution before she went on the mission.

The method to prevent the holy scripture from absorbing surrounding souls was very simple: don't open its pages.

Louisa was connected to the fungal network and parasitized at this time, so Lin Jun could judge that she wasn't lying.

However, to say how much this matter exceeded Lin Jun's expectations, that wasn't the case; he had never completely trusted the Yellow Book, and the things the Yellow Book said were all just for reference.

As for Louisa's so-called surrender, Lin Jun didn't care much.

This vampire just wanted to improve her situation, not that she was really willing to be under the Puji.

However, giving a certain degree of freedom wasn't impossible; Louisa might be used as bait to make the Yellow Book expose more things.

This matter wasn't urgent; it still needed to be arranged properly...

————

Recently, adventurers in various layers would occasionally see one or two Puji passing by with flowers and grass.

The most outrageous thing was that someone even saw five Puji carrying a gray wood that had been uprooted together!

Although the Puji's strange new actions were no longer a new thing in the Amethyst Dungeon, moving an entire gray wood was still a bit too outrageous.

Unfortunately, no one knew their destination.

If anyone tried to follow the Puji, the Puji would only keep circling until that person gave up.

He didn't know how the Puji discovered the followers behind them?

And in secret places that adventurers didn't know about.

For example, a cave in the second layer that was usually blocked by mimicry Puji; the underground space of the fifth layer; behind the new mushroom forest of the sixth layer.

The transplantation and planting plan was underway.

Hidden places weren't necessarily suitable for planting, so Lin Jun also spent a lot of effort to improve the environment.

If an idle person dug around in the second layer, perhaps they could dig out a mycelial water-pumping pipe buried in the soil and connected to groundwater.

If there was a lack of water, pump water; if there was a lack of soil, move soil; Lin Jun even tried to control the temperature.

For high temperatures, he sent an ice-stick Puji with [Frost Path lv3] to cool down; for low temperatures... then it was low.

Lin Jun had burning skills, but that consumption wasn't suitable for long-term use.

Among them, the most worry-free was the sixth layer.

Lin Jun discovered the greatest value of the tree demons!

The tree demons could be called plant experts; the plants transplanted under their hands never died, and their growth was much better than in other layers; they were simply natural plant experts.

With them taking care of it, Lin Jun only needed to connect a little groundwater, and they would solve all other problems.

Lin Jun simply wished he could share some of the brave permissions with them, letting them come to other layers to help him take care of the planting field!

In addition, Lin Jun also moved the flower bud of the dead giant flower demon behind the mushroom forest.

Because Lin Jun discovered that after the previous flower demon was beaten to death, a new flower demon had begun to grow after a month.

Although it was still very small and not mature, always maintaining a sleeping appearance, it was obviously only a matter of time before it grew back to its original size.

Anyway, he also had to collect materials from the flower demon, so he chose this most rare and largest one; the material yield would be higher than other flower demons!

For the sake of the magic array, Lin Jun spent a lot of effort. Naturally, he wouldn't forget that there was a place with the most magic arrays in the Amethyst Dungeon—the eighth layer!

Teleportation arrays, things that were rare to see outside, were everywhere in the eighth layer as if they didn't cost money.

After confirming that there were no cracks in the seventh layer, Lin Jun naturally spread the fungal mat down.

However, this time he didn't eat the Firefly Grass again; this thing was actually one of the magic array materials, so he had to keep a little...

But before he started researching magic arrays, the laying of the fungal mat encountered an epic problem!

The eighth layer that Lin Jun thought of was a large maze, with countless dead ends in the maze, and then the maze was connected by teleportation arrays to form a complete maze.

One of the original plans for conquering the eighth layer was digging walls.

Digging the road directly, so there wouldn't be the problem of teleportation arrays cutting off the fungal network.

However, Lin Jun was still too naive; only after the fungal mat was truly spread to the eighth layer did he discover that it was far from that simple.

After a Puji walked into the teleportation array, it lost contact with the fungal network!?

You know, the controllable range of the fungal network was within 300 meters, and within 1000 meters, there could be a vague induction.

The Puji lost contact directly, indicating that this teleportation exceeded 1000 meters.

Lin Jun thought this was because the eighth layer maze was too big, so he used [Dependent Control] to control a Puji to teleport; this time it didn't lose contact.

Although it didn't lose contact, Lin Jun couldn't sense the direction the Puji was in at all...

So... how big was the eighth layer?

Lin Jun tried digging walls; after digging 20 meters of soil, he encountered the "transparent wall" he had dug into in the fifth layer.

It was the same in several directions.

Lin Jun had human strategies for the eighth layer in his hand; turning 9 teleportation arrays could reach the entrance of the ninth layer.

The eighth layer obviously couldn't be so big that [Dependent Control] couldn't sense the direction, and it obviously couldn't be so small that digging a few dozen meters in all directions would reach the end.

Then there was only one possibility.

The eighth layer wasn't a whole, it wasn't continuous!

Lin Jun suspected that it was composed of fragmented areas whose locations were unknown, connected together by teleportation arrays.

If this speculation held true, then it wasn't impossible for a certain section of the journey to be buried deep underground in the Demon territory?

This had no effect on the adventurers.

They wouldn't dig walls; through teleportation arrays, no matter where this area actually was, there was no difference in the perception of the adventurers.

But for Lin Jun, this was the worst, worst news.

The fungal mat couldn't pass through teleportation arrays!

If they weren't connected, how could he spread the fungal mat?

If the fungal mat couldn't be spread, how could he let the entire dungeon bathe in the glory of the fungal network?

How could the Mushroom Garden become great?

After figuring out this situation, for a time, Lin Jun didn't even have the mood to observe and learn from the teleportation arrays.

Without the fungal mat, he couldn't control large-scale Puji; without the mushroom sea advantage, letting one or two elite Puji go to conquer the later stages?

Impossible, okay!

So who the hell designed the dungeon?

So disgusting!

However, he hadn't reached the stage of having no way out.

The eighth layer couldn't be passed, but Lin Jun still remembered that there was a crack leading directly to the deep layer area in the sixth layer!

Before, because the crack had a large number of [Thousand-Pivot Mayflies] blocking it, and that position was far away from Lin Jun's home base, the cost of attack was too high, so he gave up on continuing exploration.

Now it seemed that he had to pass from that side after all!
