Occasionally, a Tree Demon getting wiped out is a normal occurrence.

Even though a Tree Demon is considered strong on this level, the Underground City is full of surprises.

But the culprit responsible for killing this Tree Demon made Lin Jun exclaim, "What the heck!"

What a huge flower bud!

What a huge Flower Demon!

So huge!

Of course, Lin Jun had long transcended the mortal realm and didn't have such worldly desires, it was just pure amazement.

Speaking of which, Flower Demons can grow their flower centers to resemble the upper body of a human, which is originally meant to lure humans, right?

However, this kind of mimicry is outdated; what adventurer would fall for this nowadays?

Besides, although Flower Demons look human-like, they actually lack higher intelligence.

Whether it's making sounds similar to speech or imitating human-like facial expressions and actions, it's all a predatory behavior, essentially no different from how a Venus flytrap secretes nectar to lure insects.

It's just... this Flower Demon is really huge!

The deep purple flower crown completely filled the small basin, making it look like it was so heavy that it collapsed the surrounding land. The Tree Demon, taller than humans, seemed like a toy in front of it.

I don't even know how that Tree Demon managed to provoke it; it's now been flattened by the Flower Demon's stems and leaves, turned into scrap wood.

If we consider the Tree Demon's corpse intact after getting smacked, then the Puki that accompanied it had a much worse fate.

Each one was splattered on the ground, hard to peel off, leaving only one survivor who stood farther away.

It seemed it had no intention of seeking revenge; although this Flower Demon was rare for its size, it didn't hold much special value for Lin Jun.

After all, Lin Jun wasn't after the materials on it, it was fine to keep it as a feature of the sixth level.

Instead, the Tree Demon's corpse was more valuable—Plant Affinity Skill!

It's rare to have a naturally deceased Tree Demon; it should be taken back to the fifth level for a proper burial.

This kind of thing is not easy to get help from other Tree Demons, it's up to the Puki.

Soon, a ragtag team of Pukis charged down from the fifth level.

Since it was a hasty formation, all types of Pukis were present.

Cannon Mushrooms, Whip Mushrooms, Cow and Horse Mushrooms, Self-Destruction Mushrooms, Big Black Mushrooms...

???

"Xiao Hai? Why did you come along?"

"Following the Puki!"

Crashing the party, huh?

Alright, join if you want.

To be safe, Lin Jun still instructed, "Just watch, don't cause trouble!"

"Okay!"

The Pukis marched grandly towards the big Flower Demon. Without the Tree Demon clearing the way, the Pukis were attacked by many plants along the path.

Lin Jun didn't intervene. Plants have a slow digestion problem; feeding them a few Pukis along the way leaves them unable to digest them all day, thus naturally rendering them harmless.

At first, Xiao Hai would tear apart the plants grabbing the Pukis but soon realized she was falling behind and decided to ignore it.

Once they reached the edge of the small basin, there were still over forty Pukis left, and now there was only one last hurdle—securing the Tree Demon's corpse.

Lin Jun decided to use the old tactic, a feint.

Release a few decoys first, and while the Flower Demon attacks the decoys, the Cow and Horse Pukis would pull up the Tree Demon's corpse.

Simple strategies are always effective against these mindless demons.

Suddenly surrounded by a bunch of Pukis, the Flower Demon seemed somewhat restless.

One by one, stems suddenly pierced out of the ground, skewering a Puki standing outside the basin.

What the heck?

Isn't this beyond the attack range?

Soon, more stems shot out, stringing up the Pukis one by one.

Damn!

This Flower Demon really knows how to hide its strength?

The lone surviving Puki that had been standing at the edge of the basin all this while misled Lin Jun into thinking the Flower Demon's attack range was limited to the basin!

In just a few seconds, more than ten Pukis were dead.

Lin Jun directed the remaining Pukis to retreat; he had to regroup!

Left behind was one slow-reacting fellow—Xiao Hai.

Ting ting ting—

The Flower Demon's stems continuously stabbed out of the ground, striking the Big Black Mushroom's scales with a crisp sound.

Not a trace was left on the scales, but the stems broke themselves.

Xiao Hai stared at the small holes left by the stems underground, then looked at the Flower Demon in the middle of the basin.

After a long thought, it seemed like she finally realized she was under attack by the Flower Demon.

Just as Lin Jun had restructured his forces, a loud boom came from the small basin.

When the Pukis arrived, they saw the Flower Demon smashed into the ground... unpluckable.

"Wait a minute... how did it die?"

Such a large one is so rare!

"It poked me!" Xiao Hai pointed to the Flower Demon in the ground.

"It couldn't move you, though..."

Sigh—

"Forget it, let's pack up and leave. Xiao Hai, you take the Flower Demon, don't let it go to waste."

The Pukis lifted up the Tree Demon while Xiao Hai grabbed the Flower Demon's core, pulled it out, and dragged the Flower Demon three times her size along with the Pukis.

Lin Jun looked at the flower bud left behind, wondering if another Flower Demon could grow out of it?

The Flower Demon was already smashed to bits; as it was dragged along, bit by bit kept falling off, and by the time they reached the staircase, it looked like less than half of it was left...

"Boss?"

The voice from the Fungal Network startled Lin Jun.

Xiao Lv stood not far away, puzzled as he looked at the humanoid wreckage carried by the Pukis.

...

"Xiao Lv... why are you out here?"

"Sensed a lot of Pukis coming down... thought I'd see if I could help with anything..."

This was followed by a stretch of silence, with Xiao Hai looking around, puzzled as to why they had stopped.

The Tree Demon had realized the situation but felt somewhat embarrassed.

After a long time.

Xiao Lv: "Accidental death?"

Lin Jun: "Accidental death, with revenge already taken."

Xiao Lv looked at the remains of the Flower Demon and then at the Big Black Mushroom dragging the remains; some unpleasant memories surfaced.

With a nod, the Tree Demon retreated back the way it came.

Lin Jun also breathed a sigh of relief; even though he hadn't done anything wrong, being misunderstood would be troubling.

It was hard to raise the Tree Demon's favorability; sowing seeds of doubt would be problematic.

Luckily, it was the sensible Xiao Lv... I'll send it an A Level Demon Crystal later!

-----------------

While Lin Jun was busy dealing with the corpses of the two demons, far away, Dylan was also doing the same thing.

Rain fell on Dylan's face, wetting his eyelashes, but he had no time to wipe them as his hands were full.

"Dylan, watch out and don't slip!"

In a small grove, two people were carrying a corpse in the pouring rain, one ahead of the other.

"Do you remember the spot?" Dylan asked.

Keroro looked up around and then signaled a direction.

"That way!"

Soon, they carried the corpse to the destination, where another corpse they had brought was lying.

Dylan stepped back a couple of steps and sat down on the ground with a thump.

Not that he was tired, he was just anxious.

This was already near the port city of Clark, and he didn't expect it was the experienced Keroro who messed up instead of himself!

Looking at the two corpses on the ground, Dylan felt speechless.

How did it end up like this?
