After a brief flash of white light, a fluffy white figure appeared in mid-air, it was the Scout.

Just as it appeared, Lin Jun saw something extraordinary!

Three moons...

Under the indigo night sky, three full moons hung.

The silver-blue moon hung in the eastern sky, its surface shimmering with a ghostly, ice-like pattern; the crimson moon "burned" low in the western sky, scorching the surrounding clouds to a charred yellow; the largest pale gold moon was the most eerie, it didn't shine continuously, but rather brightened and dimmed rhythmically, like breathing.

This world actually has three moons!?

Gravity acted on the Scout, yet Lin Jun was completely entranced.

After a short fall, the forest erupted with a shower of mycelial dust.

After a while, the Scout emerged from the shattered mycelial coat, like a cicada shedding its skin.

[Blood Volume: 1021/1120]

It lost some blood from the impact, but it was no big deal.

With [Fungal Filament Reassembly Level 3], such minor damage would be repaired in about ten minutes.

Lin Jun finally snapped out of the shock of seeing three moons in the sky.

Choosing a time with fewer people to use the scroll, she never expected to witness such a scene.

Previously, whether talking with Inanna or Dylan, when night was mentioned, none specifically brought up these three moons.

It was probably common knowledge to them, just like how Lin Jun subconsciously assumed there was only one moon.

Speaking of which, each of the three moons had its characteristics, yet their light mixed together on the ground without appearing colorful, merely indistinguishable from ordinary white light.

The Scout was now in a dense forest, with no sign of human activity.

Lin Jun sensed her location, south of the Purple Crystal Dungeon.

No wonder there was no one around.

The entrance to the Underground City faces north, directly towards Dumb Wind Town.

To reach the south, one would have to make a big detour; naturally, nobody would idly wander this way.

"Ooooh——"

A beast's low growl emerged from the darkness.

So that's it, where there aren't people, there are demons...

Wind wolves emerged from the forest, surrounding the Scout.

These grey and white-furred predators crouched low in the brush, their silver eyes reflecting the moonlight.

This area must be their territory; naturally, with such a disturbance from the fall, they'd welcome the intruder warmly.

But... just these Level 20 or so wind wolves?

The Scout suddenly snapped a bladed tentacle, and a wind wolf on the left, too close to dodge, was instantly split in two.

The smell of blood instantly stirred the wolf pack, growls echoed one after another.

But Lin Jun wasn't afraid.

These ordinary wind wolves couldn't even bite through the Scout's scale armor.

"Awoooo——"

The wolf pack retreated like a tide, and two wind wolf kings, clearly larger than their kin and boasting glossy fur, emerged side by side.

Their sharp claws glimmered coldly under the moonlight, and wind blades were forming in their mouths.

The two wind wolf kings took the lead, closing in on the Scout.

Heh!

The beasts' intuition isn't always accurate.

With two wolf kings not even Level 40, they dare approach so brazenly.

So why not come a bit closer?

The Scout, swirling its four tentacle blades, charged forward with short legs.

When Dylan finally reached the surface from the fifth level and circled the dungeon's entrance to find the Scout, an entire night had passed, approaching noon the next day.

When he arrived, what he saw was a ground littered with wolf corpses drained of blood long ago.

And the Scout Puki was... mowing grass?

Lin Jun noticed Dylan's arrival too.

With a flick of a tentacle, she snatched Dylan's large backpack off his back.

Then she emptied all its contents and began stuffing the cut grass into it.

"This... what is this?"

Dylan looked baffled.

Even if she stuffed wind wolf corpses in there he could understand, but why grass?

"Don't worry about it, just dump this entire bag of grass onto the fungal mat on the first layer, it'll be useful to us!"

Seeing the fully packed backpack.

Since the boss said so, Dylan could only carry the backpack and run back the way he came.

Lin Jun wasn't lying; these grasses were treasures!

Just like the Firefly Grass's [Fluorescence] skill.

These grasses had a skill called [Photosynthesis]!

Such a skill was truly something not seen in the dungeon before!

At first Lin Jun hadn't noticed, but upon closer inspection, she realized this photosynthesis was different from normal photosynthesis.

It generated magic power!

Dylan needed it badly.

[Magic Storage] only meant Dylan didn't always have to constantly sip from potions, he could stock up all at once.

But [Photosynthesis] was the godly skill that could truly solve his sustaining ability!

Speaking of which, did the light emitted by the Sunstone count as sunlight?

"Night Owl, what are you doing?"

The commotion with Silverthorn Squad drew a lot of attention.

Although Night Owl's ability to move along shadows was amazing, there were experts present who could discern her movement trajectory, including the knight squad leader who was her target.

Facing the sudden charge of a Diamond Level adventurer, the knight squad leader was unfazed.

Gripping his knight's sword with both hands, radiance shimmered on the blade.

[Supreme Slash Level 8]

The sudden charging adventurer was immediately deemed an enemy by the squad leader, leaving no room for mercy in his action.

But Night Owl wasn't easy prey either.

She leapt out of the shadow in advance, brushing past the radiant longsword, adding only a not-too-deep cut on her arm.

"Night Owl!" x3

Behind her, Nova and the others screamed, almost fainting from a heart attack.

Such a situation! Such timing! What in the world was she trying to do?!

At this moment, Night Owl ignored everything around her, diving into the shadow beneath the squad leader after dodging the slash.

The squad leader was finally a bit flustered, intending to stab into the shadow with his sword.

But the sword froze in mid-air, unable to press down even a bit further?

A huge claw formed from black mist grasped his knight's sword.

The silver blade bent into a dangerous arc within the giant claw, cracks appearing across the metallic surface.

A piercing scraping sound rose sharply as the claw tightened, and the blade let out its final groan.

The sword, broken into three pieces, spun and stabbed into the muddy ground, the last half quivering in the knight's trembling hands.

After crushing the knight's sword, the giant claw casually swung.

The still rigid knight squad leader was sent flying, his life or death unknown.

Where he stood, a Shadow Demon, over four meters tall and surrounded by roiling darkness, appeared before everyone.

In its right claw was an elf—Night Owl.

At this moment, Night Owl was in a terrible state.

The brief engagement in the shadows took her right hand.

Her only remaining left hand futilely pressed against the Shadow Demon's claw, but couldn't budge it even a bit.

The Shadow Demon glanced irritably at the one who disrupted its plan—it could have waited for a better time!

Normally, it would take this elf back to slowly torture to death, but now, it had a task that must take priority.

Flipping Night Owl into the oncoming crowd, the Shadow Demon transformed into a dense fog, rushing straight towards the summoning array, now shining with towering light.

At the center, a silhouette could be vaguely seen!
