these thirty-meter-tall giant trees had been uprooted, and their trunks were covered in claw marks and footprints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forest area had shrunk by nearly 70%, and the canopy layer that had originally blocked out the sky now exposed large areas of the glowing dome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the fallen trees could be used to make hotbeds for cultivating mycelium, which Lin Jun could accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Poison Mist Lake was in a worse state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That three-headed snake, covered in flowing poison, had crossed half of the fifth level, leaving a trail of dark green scabs, and nothing grew where it had passed—and the Poison Mist Lake happened to be on this path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it would be more accurate to call it the Venom Lake now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the deep green lake water, all native species had ceased to exist, and only patches of dead fish and shrimp floated to the shore, stinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The poisonous water had even eroded the surrounding soil, and no vegetation could grow in the vicinity, Lin Jun's mushrooms being no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did have poison resistance, but it was only LV4.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spores he tried to scatter vanished in an instant, completely unable to withstand such potent poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this wasn't completely a dead zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small dragon beast that looked like a scaled salamander had moved in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Race: Dragon Beast - Mirage]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Racial Talent: Membrane (The entire body is protected by a membrane inside and out)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, Lin Jun wasn't quite sure how a membrane could completely isolate the effects of the venom, but they had indeed managed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with their own certain poison resistance, they were now living quite well in the Venom Lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a pity that racial talents couldn't be seized, otherwise, it would be quite interesting for a Puji to have a membrane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lin Jun felt that these Mirages wouldn't exist for long either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, they were filling their stomachs with the dead fish and shrimp by the lake, but there would eventually be a time when they ran out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the original ecology in the lake had long been destroyed by the venom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant they would soon run out of food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After running out of food, they would probably go extinct naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they had the [Scale Armor] skill, so perhaps he could consider raising them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that he didn't know if they ate mushrooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lake and the forest were the areas that had been more severely damaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the caves, they were purely blown up by Lin Jun himself, and re-excavating them in the future would be a long project.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only area in the entire fifth level that hadn't changed much was the swamp area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lin Jun's mycelium carpet in the swamp area had been trampled to pieces, its environment itself hadn't changed much, and even due to the accumulation of corpses, the mana concentration in the swamp had actually increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This could be considered one of the few pieces of good news after the magic tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And compared to the ground, the mycelium carpet on the dome could be said to be completely undamaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even among the flying monsters, none had wasted time during the magic tide to destroy the mushrooms on the dome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the mushrooms on the dome were gently shaking their caps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long-accumulated spores were scattered out in wave after wave, and the entire fifth level was experiencing a snow of pale cyan and gray spores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the wandering monsters hadn't been completely cleared out, the remaining number was no longer enough to cause much damage; it was time to restore the vitality of the mushroom garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the mycelium carpet beside the ruins of Dylan's cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brand-new Puji had been ripened, and Lin Jun had special expectations for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The finally mature Puji twisted its body, disconnected from the mycelium carpet, and stood up spiritedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pair of claws picked it up, and then the Dragon-Person took a bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How does this feel?\" Lin Jun asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this bite, the Dragon-Person actually couldn't bite through all the mycelium and had to tear it to eat it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mycelium was chewed repeatedly by the Dragon-Person before finally being swallowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This one is delicious, I like it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as she liked it; this was a \"spicy strip\" Puji with a specially optimized texture!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition to [Mana Storage LV6], this Puji also added [Toughness LV5].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then after you finish eating, go help me kill some monsters first, and when you come back, I'll give you a few more like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon-Person nodded while chewing; after fighting, there was food, which was about the same as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before, she could only eat those big lizards and stinky rats with hard meat, but now she could eat soft, chewy, large-sized mushrooms!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was very satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, do you have a name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This question was actually something Lin Jun had wanted to ask for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the panel, Lin Jun could see everyone's name, but there was no name column on this Dragon-Person's panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't sure if she didn't have a name to begin with, or if it was due to some special reason that he couldn't see it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically speaking, there should be a name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon-Person could speak, but her pronunciation was very strange, and Lin Jun could only tell that she wasn't speaking a human language.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seriously suspected it was Dragon language.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there was a language and she could communicate, then there should be a name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew, the Dragon-Person shook her head while chewing the mycelium in her mouth:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No name. Big Dragon says, the weak have no names.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, this...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jun felt that he probably didn't deserve a name either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is Big Dragon? Is it that super scary dragon from that day?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mentioning that dragon, the Dragon-Person shuddered subconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, that's Mother. Big Dragon is much smaller than Mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It really was the cub of that dragon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But remembering her performance that day, why are you so afraid of your mother?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be a menopausal dragon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for \"Big Dragon,\" it sounded like another dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did they live together with a bunch of dragons and dragon-people?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what do they call you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Swergis.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then isn't your name Swergis?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon-Person continued to shake her head: \"No, all the weak ones are Swergis.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good fellow, so it was a general term; Lin Jun understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already imagined a cruel dragon society where the weak were discriminated against to the point of not even having names, only deserving to be called \"lower-class\" or something similar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, although the Dragon-Person didn't have a name, he couldn't keep calling her \"you, you, you,\" right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using Swergis also felt weird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then how about I give you a name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew that when the Dragon-Person heard this, she shook her head very firmly and said: \"Become strong, then there will be a name!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she just didn't care for me naming her; she was a Dragon-Person with dreams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no other way, Lin Jun could only settle for second best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I still need to have a way to address you. The word Swergis doesn't refer to you alone; I feel awkward using it, and it's also too much of a mouthful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How about I call you 'Little Black'?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's not naming you, just calling you that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't that Lin Jun had no taste and only knew how to use words like Little Black or Little White, it was mainly that this wasn't naming her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, it was just a temporary address; he felt there was no need to spend more effort thinking about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon-Person tilted her head and thought about it, and since she didn't seem to feel there was anything wrong with it, she nodded to indicate her agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After agreeing on the address, the spicy strip Puji was finally finished—adding [Toughness] really made it much more durable to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Black stretched on all fours and then excitedly went to beat up monsters according to Lin Jun's request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Lin Jun discovered that her panel seemed to have an extra line?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Name: Little Black]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Race: Dragon-Person]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorry!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I should have thought of one seriously!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn't we say it didn't count as naming her?
