you can't just kill them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh... but, can green ones?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green ones?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you talking about the flower spirits on the sixth floor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the monsters on the fifth floor were almost cleared, when Little Black wanted to vent her energy, Lin Jun would let her go down to play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Jun didn't know what she played, but the first few times she would get lost, and Lin Jun had to go down to pick her up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After she got familiar with the path, every time she went to play, she would bring back one or two monster corpses; he remembered there had been green flower spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But flower spirits don't have feet either; their lower bodies are connected to flower buds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it's not a flower spirit, what is it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it, anyway, green ones are definitely not human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm... green ones are okay, but don't kill the ones like today next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Black pouted and nodded; only then did Lin Jun give her a special spicy Puji with only [Strong Acid LV3]—she had recently started liking things a bit sour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those two humans had also hurriedly left, looking like they were scared out of their wits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he almost finished them off, they weren't dead yet, right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Lin Jun had already provided compensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That longsword was enchanted and much better than the broken one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they were even!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this also served as a reminder to Lin Jun; if Little Black frequently came into contact with different human adventurers, it was hard to guarantee that conflicts wouldn't arise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today it was Little Black who initiated the attack; tomorrow it might be some blind adventurer seeking death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result would likely be Little Black killing everyone, while he would have to bitterly clean up her mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This won't do!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to find a way, if not to eliminate, at least to reduce the chances of human adventurers coming into contact with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unrealistic to let her stay quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her energy overflowing all day long, being able to let her stay quietly for two days was all thanks to the favorability bonus after parasitism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless he used force, it was impossible to keep her confined for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for using force?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her bedrock background made Lin Jun not even have such thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then again, he couldn't forbid Little Black, but he could restrict the adventurers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Picking the soft persimmon to squeeze is always right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From now on, the forest... no, it's a mushroom forest now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From now on, the mushroom forest will also be designated as a restricted area, so at least no one will disturb her while she's eating or sleeping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for other times...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe he should upgrade the level of [Camouflage LV2]?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there were no monsters in the nearby floors that could produce this skill, skills could also be upgraded through practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He relied on Pujis to practice and then transmit the experience back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the experience transmitted back this way was severely reduced, the number of Pujis was large, and plus Camouflage was only level 2, it was relatively easy to upgrade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe he could practice it to LV4 in the short term, and then see if this skill could cover up the scales all over Little Black's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the mana required to add skills to Little Black was also massive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would have to live frugally recently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the plan was set, a batch of Pujis loaded with the [Camouflage] skill began production.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, what made Lin Jun a bit strange was: it seemed no other adventurers were entering the dungeon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So those two were breaking the rules and sneaking in?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, this counted as good news; he had more time to prepare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come to think of it, because of the monster tide, Dylan had been missing since he was sent out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had told him not to get involved in the monster tide at the end; if he listened, he shouldn't be in danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it had been a month or so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know if he had brought enough money to drink blue bottles...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hoped his first human subordinate wouldn't starve to death outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hoo... hoo...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan felt for the arrow shaft behind him and pulled it out violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The excruciating pain made him clench his teeth, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throwing the arrow stained with mycelium and blood aside, it took Dylan a long time to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Praise the boss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, the blood from the wound only gushed out a few times before gradually clogging up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to not being human anymore, many vital points were no longer vital points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, on second thought, if it weren't for earning that mana potion money, he wouldn't have taken this bitter job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader of this trip was the tavern owner's own man, a bald, burly man with a fishy smell, plus three laborers like Dylan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of four, each carrying a bulging deerskin cargo bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They needed to cross the forest on the west side of Ya-Feng Town to transport the stolen goods to Fishing Sail Port.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Dylan's view, the most dangerous part of this trip was that they had a certain probability of encountering monsters still wandering outside after the monster tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he never expected that even for such a one-time, small-scale smuggling job, they could encounter a double-cross!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attacker's first hidden arrow was aimed at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The muffled sound of the arrowhead piercing the leather armor was lighter than he expected; this arrow accurately hit the center of his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After understanding what had happened, he deliberately pressed down on some dead branches when he fell, letting his body roll down the slope into the bushes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the sound of swords clashing rang out all around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, he was still guessing which of the other three was the mole?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out he had overthought it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This group of black-robed men attacking them had the posture of wanting to kill everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His \"death\" gave the other three time to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who dared to do this couldn't be trash; seeing that there were eight attackers, they were no match, so they immediately retreated while fighting, and after running a distance, they directly fled in different directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the black-robed men didn't seem to want to let anyone go, even if they dropped the bags, they wouldn't let them go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the last black-robed man left, he didn't forget to pick up the cargo bag next to Dylan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ughhh—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after everyone left, a familiar scream came from the front; it was the leader's voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed they couldn't hold on for long either; he had to run away quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan wanted to just lie there and wait for everything to end, but the half-burned tree trunk on the side indicated that there was a fire mage among the black-robed men!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they came to cremate and destroy the evidence in the end, he would definitely be dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pulling out the arrow and crawling out of the bushes, the pain in his back made Dylan grimace; not being fatal didn't mean he was fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this is what heart pain feels like!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no time to deal with the leaves and branches stuck to his body, Dylan hugged the notebook in his arms and ran in the opposite direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, when did I...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warm foreign object in his palm finally caught Dylan's attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cover, of unknown material, was wrinkled; rubbing his fingertips over it, he could feel the raised threads, and when held in his hand, he seemed to be able to feel a trace of warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan had some impression of this notebook; it should be one of the stolen goods in his bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when exactly, and why, did he take it out and hold it specifically in his hand?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that it just happened to fall into his arms when he fell?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No clue, and no time to sort it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screams of unknown origin came from the forest again; those three might have been wiped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the attackers intended to destroy the evidence, they would definitely discover he wasn't dead yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to run faster, further!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1406,"2026-06-17T15:02:37.041Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","764b1651b9aa5b1f71a8f67c0a5eaf34a15b1d896e2b5b0056de3b78555fac8a","this-dungeon-is-growing-mushrooms-chapter-50","this-dungeon-is-growing-mushrooms-chapter-48",165,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-dungeon-has-sprouted-mushrooms-cover.jpg"]
