there must have been monster corpses here before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl Feiling, carrying a short bow, rubbed her nose; she only felt that she was about to lose her sense of smell from the stench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vila, don't dawdle; try it and you'll know if it works!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continuing to observe didn't seem to make sense, so Vila put down the two large cloth bags on his back and took out a dead two-headed python from one of the bags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This snake had a snake head at each end, one black and one white, and the snake body was black and white, which was a common monster on the second floor of the dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valuable materials like snake fangs and poison sacs had already been taken away, and now this was just a piece of low-value snake meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vila rolled the python into a ball and carried it on his shoulder, posing to throw, and called the name of the other girl softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Feiyin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A barely audible response came from behind Vila.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising the small magic staff in her hand, Feiyin cast a buff spell on Vila.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Strength Amplification]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vila immediately felt that the two-headed python in his hand was much lighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weighing it twice, he threw it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The snake corpse spread out in mid-air and finally fell heavily near the Puji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The startled Puji fired a cannon shot immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mushroom cannon, which had been upgraded to LV8, hit the middle section of the python's body, and this medium-sized monster from the second floor was blown into two sections at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This power made the few people under the mushrooms break into a cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder many people died in the hands of these Puji, including experts who could go to the sixth or seventh floors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one attack power was so great, and this kind of monster would actually act collectively!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said that even if you defeated a team of Puji, you would only be chased by the large army that came later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was no wonder that most silver-level adventurers were crowded in the tavern drinking, all wanting to wait for a reliable strategy before coming down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Puji confirmed that the snake was dead, two of them with tentacles topped the two sections of snake corpse on their mushroom caps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then a group of Puji went to the swamp area as if hunting was completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like in the strategy, as long as you use monster corpses, you can lure away Puji!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key was that the materials had already been taken away, and the remaining corpses were not valuable, which was just a bit troublesome to carry down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It actually works...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feiling's small mouth opened slightly; she still couldn't believe that Vila would hit the jackpot and buy a real first-hand strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vila himself was also very excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just knew it was true!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feiling, Feiyin, let's not rush to the cave to find Iron Heart Orchid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let's go see that extra intelligence first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feiling felt there was no reason to refuse, so she nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several people followed the path and rushed to a place on the edge of the Gnoll Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that they didn't notice that under another large mushroom further away, two people had been observing them for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They seem to have a strategy; should we do it directly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one speaking was the half-elf Nasa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His left ear was only half left, and under the sunken cheeks and heavy bruised eyelids, the handsome outline inherited from the elf was vaguely recognizable; unfortunately, he looked like he had been hollowed out by wine and sex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his companion was a sturdy dwarf with steel teeth and cold eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The axe blade flashed with cold light, and the mushroom caps above their heads slid down obliquely; Grongba stepped on the fallen mushroom stalk and stood up straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No rush; we can finish them off anytime; let's see what's going on before dealing with them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the shadows of the dungeon, all kinds of people wandered; since there were adventurers hunting monsters, naturally, evil people who specialized in pitting and killing other adventurers were born; such people were called plunderers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nasa and Grongba were plunderers wearing the skin of adventurers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their combat levels had clearly reached LV34 and LV36, but they hung around the fourth and fifth floors all year round just to find suitable prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overly young faces of the Vila team made the two of them set their sights on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Puji on the fifth floor had been making a lot of noise recently, so the death of three young people here wouldn't arouse anyone's suspicion at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nasa took a bag of powder from his package and sprinkled it on the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a kind of medicinal powder that could shield common detection skills, belonging to props specially used to deal with adventurers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Nasa himself used detection skills to hang far behind Vila and them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was by relying on this technique that the two of them could succeed in sneak attacks every time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>————\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the edge of the Gnoll Forest, there was a small cave, and the cave entrance was less than two meters high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hidden in the iron wire fern and snake vine, it blended with the surrounding rock wall and was very hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vila and the three were in the cave at this time, looking at the Puji sitting in the center of the cave, a bit stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stunned because this Puji was really too big...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The height that almost reached the top of the cave, plus the width that was no less than the height, completely subverted their understanding of the Puji image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just sitting there occupied one-third of the space in the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feiling bumped Vila with her shoulder and asked in a low voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this the one mentioned in the strategy, the one that can exchange various random props?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vila really wanted to say how would he know, but saying it out would definitely lead to being beaten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Probably; I'll try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, Vila put down the other cloth bag on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out another canine monster corpse from it and carefully stepped forward two steps, placing it in front of the fat Puji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fat Puji, which had been motionless, finally reacted to seeing the monster corpse, and six tentacles made of mycelia extended from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vila retreated to his teammates' side, vigilantly drawing his scimitar, but this time he was overthinking it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tentacles rolled up the corpse and stuffed it into its hollow body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the fat Puji continued to dig in its body with tentacles for a long time, and finally threw out a delicate small round shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carved round shield rolled all the way to the front of the few people with a \"clatter clatter clatter\" sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three looked at each other for a long time, and all saw the look of disbelief in each other's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't too strange for some high-intelligence monsters to have a certain degree of communication or even trading, but this was a Puji!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This shield wouldn't be another adventurer's...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feiling thought of the many adventurers who had died on the fifth floor recently; this small round shield couldn't have been crafted by the Puji themselves, right? [29-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you don't want it?\" Vera looked a bit reluctant; the small shield looked to be of quite good quality, and even if he didn't use it, he could sell it for a good price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little did he know, Feiling suddenly became excited:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't want it? Why wouldn't I want it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hurry, hurry, let's go back up and fight a few more monsters to drag down here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The good things on this Puji must be limited; we need to trade for as much as possible before others find out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, she excitedly bent down to pick up the small shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before her hand could touch the shield, Vera kicked her on the shoulder, and a crossbow bolt grazed Feiling's cheek and nailed into the ground, leaving a tiny wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Raiders!!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1497,"2026-06-17T15:02:37.041Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","bba2e295a3291658ea07cb5a2b89e4a750421484af4b9a9e6d0d0def375d1ab0","this-dungeon-is-growing-mushrooms-chapter-29","this-dungeon-is-growing-mushrooms-chapter-27",165,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-dungeon-has-sprouted-mushrooms-cover.jpg"]
