it must be that the Parasitic Trees went berserk and scared away all the surrounding monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others guessed that it was a sign that the magic tide was coming, but the Adventurers' Guild was professional in this regard, and the guild didn't issue a magic tide warning, so this guess didn't have many people believing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most ridiculous thing was that the drunkard Nick swore that he saw with his own eyes that a group of Puji slaughtered the Green-Eyed Frogs pool by pool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This statement made everyone who heard it laugh out loud, concluding that Nick must have been so drunk that he couldn't distinguish reality from his own drunken dreams even when he was in the dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who didn't know that Puji were at the bottom of the food chain even on the first floor, and they were slaughtering the Green-Eyed Frogs on the fifth floor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to what Nick said, the magic tide sign seemed much more reliable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the gnoll killer, the culprit behind the near-extinction of the Green-Eyed Frogs, and the culprit behind the changes on the fifth floor—Lin Jun, launched a territorial war against the Parasitic Trees again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The active defensive contraction during this period of time had returned most of the swamp area to the hands of the Parasitic Trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the short term, the number of Parasitic Trees wouldn't increase because of this; instead, they became scattered because the territory was large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Lin Jun hunted everywhere to accumulate a large amount of magic and cultivated more than a hundred Puji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it was time for a counterattack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than two hundred Puji, the few Parasitic Trees on the periphery vanished as soon as they met, easily pushing the front line back to the previous battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just like last time, the magic and martial arts duo of the Parasitic Trees made a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another two dirty water elements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jun hurriedly adjusted 40 Puji to attack one after another, suppressing the water elements in a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, the Blade Storm rotated and rushed toward the Puji team; as long as it let it in, Lin Jun would definitely suffer heavy losses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Jun wouldn't step into the same pit twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Puji all turn and press down, squeezing their bodies into a lump in a very short time, and then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bounced up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Assault Ejection LV4]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the displacement skill contributed by the frogs, the Puji bounced away in all directions at once, and only one that was closest was cut into pieces by the Blade Storm while jumping in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't over; the self-destruct Puji that had been prepared long ago rolled out of the team and exploded one by one in front of the Parasitic Trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although each Puji was blocked on the outer circle by the rotating roots and couldn't rush to the trunk to explode, even so, after 20 self-destructs, the health of this Parasitic Tree hit the bottom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, this damage was completely insufficient to kill a LV45 warrior adventurer, but the main body of this Parasitic Tree was only a mere LV24 and couldn't withstand such chain explosions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now only the Parasitic Tree that could summon was left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large number of Puji bypassed the suppressed water elements and rushed toward the other Parasitic Trees behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When another unremarkable Parasitic Tree was blasted in half, the two water elements immediately collapsed and merged into the swamp, disappearing without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two most troublesome Parasitic Trees had fallen, and what followed was just a boring flat push.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Puji were still suffering sporadic attrition caused by strange skills that popped up from time to time, but it had no impact on the overall situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Parasitic Trees that made bottom-tier adventurers hear the name and turn pale with fright had no great threat in front of Lin Jun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason why human adventurers had to detour when they saw Parasitic Trees was because they faced the endless Parasitic Trees in the form of small teams, and the chance of winning was naturally very low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jun was different; he was fighting a war, a unified organization of a Puji army that didn't fear sacrifice, fighting monsters that were a plate of loose sand and fighting on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if these Parasitic Trees had more tricks, as long as there was no super-model combat power, everything else could only be classified as fancy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Lin Jun only had a small amount of attention on commanding the battle, and most of his mind had begun to think about the planning of the new mushroom garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the closed terrain of the mushroom garden in the deep zone, the swamp area was in the center of the entire fifth floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just because the terrain here was difficult to pass, and there were terrifying monsters like Parasitic Trees, that adventurers would choose to detour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Parasitic Trees were cleaned up, the danger was reduced, and it was not guaranteed that someone would choose to walk from here; Lin Jun didn't want his old nest to become a highway for adventurers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was force or some kind of communication, in short, he had to think of a way to let them know that they had to continue to detour in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, the scope of Lin Jun's new mushroom garden was not just the swamp area; in fact, the swamp area was just the core in his planning, and the entire fifth floor would eventually be included in the scope of the mushroom garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Poison Fog Lake side could be used for farming; it hadn't been determined what to raise yet, and there were quite a few options.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cave there was originally a mine, but now it was mined by adventurers, which was also the area with the most humans on this floor; this was why Lin Jun didn't go there when hunting during this period of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was produced inside was still the local dungeon specialty—purple magic crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that the average quality was clearly far inferior to the deep zone; Lin Jun had secretly gone to see, and C-level was considered rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the end, it was a mine in his own backyard, so he still had to find an opportunity to bring it under the ownership of the fungus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occupying it with force was simple, but he didn't want to show strong hostility toward humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't any human identity recognition, but more realistically, if the strength was insufficient, one should appear kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't look at how he seemed to be invincible on this floor now, and ordinary adventurers could be destroyed with a flick of a finger, but compared to the human group, he was still too weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since communication was inevitable in the future, try to get off to a good start; if an agreement could be reached, even if it was some default rules, that was good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that his Human Common Language was only LV1, and not being able to communicate directly was a big problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't just slaughter adventurers on a large scale, and after raising Human Common Language to LV10, go to them and say: \"Now let's get along friendly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This problem was the most important, and Lin Jun had to plan carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the gnolls in the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It just so happened that he had a Fusion Parasitism that he hadn't had time to study carefully, so let's use them as a sample.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was to make the mushroom garden great again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark clouds surged, and the heavy rain poured the road into a muddy mess; every step of the horse's hooves would splash up sludge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such bad weather, horses were very easy to slip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, the person riding the horse had no intention of stopping at all, but held the reins in one hand and protected the package in front of his chest with the other, moving forward at full speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strong wind whistled past with raindrops, lifting the hood, revealing Dylan's hideous half-face covered in mycelia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 24 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1488,"2026-06-17T15:00:13.648Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","30db81f1a6a2ded07fd025a323843ccc9a8384ca25ea1f455953178becb5aa1a","this-dungeon-is-growing-mushrooms-chapter-24","this-dungeon-is-growing-mushrooms-chapter-22",165,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-dungeon-has-sprouted-mushrooms-cover.jpg"]
