Chapter 131

Dungeon entrance.

Horn, who was satisfied and had tasted the sweetness, was preparing to enter the dungeon again, only this time his teammates had been replaced by a new batch.

After the last mission, the jealous old teammates didn't kick him out of the squad directly, but they all quit one by one, and then formed a "new squad" again.

Horn's evaluation of this was that they were a bunch of idiots blinded by emotions.

He didn't sell the agility +2 dagger that represented his luck, but carried it on his body to improve his own combat power.

The teammates had clearly become stronger, but because of jealousy, they dumped him; if this wasn't stupidity, what was?

Fortunately, Horn didn't care about being with that bunch of idiots anymore; he carried the shiny dagger and soon found a newly formed squad.

Now the four of them were doing their final checks outside the dungeon gate.

The newly formed squad hadn't been broken in yet, so to prevent accidents, mutual confirmation before entering like this was indispensable.

For example, because there was no mage in their squad, torches or the oilcloth needed to make torches were indispensable things.

After checking everything, the new squad finally entered the dungeon.

As soon as they came in, the four of them were attracted by the crowd gathered at the edge of the hall.

Something must have happened, otherwise, no one would stay here.

Adventurers could be said to be one of the most gossiping groups; there was excitement to watch, and no one would refuse; the four of them naturally crowded over.

Someone in the crowd noticed Horn; the other party was obviously an acquaintance and greeted: "Yo, Horn, I heard you drew something good on the fifth layer?"

Adventurers were the most gossiping group; the matter of Horn having such dog-shit luck to draw the big prize naturally spread very quickly.

Horn didn't hide it either, pulling out the dagger with a flowing light on the blade and swinging it around, making the other party call out in envy.

After showing off, Horn also asked: "What are you guys blocking here for?"

It was indeed blocked; the dungeon entrance hall connected to eight passages, and this was one of them; there were more than a dozen people standing in the corridor four or five people wide.

"There's a group of Puji at the entrance!"

Saying that, he grabbed Horn's hand and squeezed through the crowd hard.

After squeezing out, Horn almost thought he was hallucinating; the fat Puji had actually come to the first layer entrance?

However, unlike the fifth layer, this fat Puji was surrounded by many ordinary Puji, all sitting honestly on the fungal mat.

"What exactly is going on?" Horn asked.

The acquaintance shrugged; he didn't know yet either.

Suddenly, an adventurer who looked like he was from out of town said something that made everyone present feel creepy: "Eh? There are monsters giving themselves away at the dungeon entrance here?"

It was a warrior who spoke, and while speaking, he even pulled out the longsword at his waist.

But just as the sword was pulled out, this warrior was kicked down by someone, and then fists and feet from the surrounding people hit him like raindrops.

"Go die if you want to die! Don't drag me down with you!"

"Is this stinky outsider trying to harm people?"

"I'll beat you to death!"

Horn also went up and kicked him twice; who the hell didn't know that the fat Puji would self-destruct if beaten? If he really let it explode here, at least half of the people present would die!

After driving away that idiot warrior, many people realized the hidden danger of staying here and left one after another, no longer watching the excitement; it wasn't so crowded here anymore.

Horn originally intended to beat a monster and throw it over to see what would happen, but obviously, he wasn't the only one who thought of this; an adventurer carrying a rotten-tooth dog corpse ran over.

The fat Puji stretched out its mycelial tentacles, stuffed the monster corpse into its body, and then with a tentacle arch, arched out a Puji that was sitting on the fungal mat in a daze.

Tentacles pressed on the Puji's mushroom cap... the Puji lit up! Adventurer: ???

Only to see the Puji shining with orange-yellow light walking with its short legs, following behind the adventurer who gave the monster corpse; the adventurer walked two steps, and the Puji followed with four steps.

Adventurer: !!!

That adventurer tried pressing the Puji's mushroom cap too; the light on the Puji flickered twice and went out!

"Oh~!"

Exclamations from others immediately sounded around.

Seeing this, Horn discussed with his teammates and also hunted a prey to take away an illumination Puji.

Everyone wanted to try this fresh thing, and even some squads with mages, out of curiosity, also took one away.

Along the way, they researched some ways.

Puji would only follow in the first layer; there was a fat Puji at the edge of the stairs of each layer, and a new layer required hiring with a monster corpse again.

In the second layer, their illumination Puji was accidentally clamped to death by a scorpion; in the third layer, the fat Puji actually ignored them.

It wasn't until they gave out three monster corpses that they were able to borrow an illumination Puji again.

And the energy of one illumination Puji could last for a whole day at most; after it went out, it would still follow you, waiting for you to bring it back to the fat Puji's side.

The brightness of the illumination Puji was several times that of a torch, and the effect was quite acceptable; the rent of one monster corpse per layer was acceptable for squads without mages.

The disadvantage was that it was too easy to die...

Lin Jun secretly observed the reactions of the adventurers.

Seeing that the new business was developing smoothly, he was also very satisfied.

After being blocked in the eighth layer, he began to prepare to conquer the rift valley.

However, after discovering that the rift valley was difficult to pass last time, Lin Jun gave up that piece of high-maintenance fungal mat, and now he had to re-lay it.

At the same time, the air-combat Puji suitable for long-distance fighting in the rift valley environment also needed some time to finish production.

During this spare time, Lin Jun used it to repeatedly practice drawing magic arrays.

These illumination Puji were all by-products after his practice, and it was a bit of a waste to just recycle them directly.

He simply started a follow-up illumination service; earning monster corpses was secondary, the main thing was to continue to improve the adventurers' acceptance of Puji.

Maybe he could launch services like luggage consignment, dungeon canteen, etc. in the future.

Slowly corrode the adventurers with convenient Puji services, and finally cultivate them into a state where they couldn't explore the dungeon without Puji!

Of course, this plan was still in the initial stage, and there were quite a few problems.

For example, because the illumination Puji were all hand-rubbed by Lin Jun, the quality was uneven, and some illumination Puji that didn't meet the quality standards would have the problem of suddenly going out.

Fortunately, the dungeon didn't have an evaluation system, and adventurers who were pitted couldn't come over to give a bad review.

The Puji didn't support returns or exchanges either, mainly focusing on no responsibility after leaving the counter.

——

Lin Jun's evil plan to corrode adventurers had just started; at the same time, a team heading to Dumb Wind Town also set off from Oath City.

The gorgeous carriage at the head was engraved with an eye-catching sword and shield emblem, and the gold thread on the edge of the emblem indicated the important identity of the person in the carriage in the Adventurer's Guild.

Behind it followed a large carriage with eight clerical personnel and four Gold-tier guards riding horses.
