Chapter 29 Puji Tribe
Seeing Elune's respectful demeanor, Lynn ultimately didn't say the words, "From now on, you must wear black stockings in front of me."
In any case, they were all your teachers in your past lives.
Lynn did have some respect for her teacher. (Wasn't she planning to max out their affection levels and create a harem ending?)
After bidding farewell to Elune, who looked on expectantly for future guidance, Lynn went to Abel's treehouse, gave the Fruit of Life to old Abel, and also found Lya.
And on his way to fly the luxurious flying machine, the Sky-Soaring General, he was entangled by Vera.
Finally, the three of them began their adventure: [Lynn's Otherworldly Adventure - Now that you've arrived in another world, you'll have to work hard at farming!]

Eagles and vultures soar through the clouds.
From a bird's-eye view, the outer areas of the Magic Forest are mostly a vibrant, lush green, much like the area where Silver Dew Settlement is located.
However, there is one exception.
"That's the forest of glowing mushrooms," Vera pointed down.
A look of novelty flashed across Leah's face.
It was a forest that defied common sense.
There were no trees there; instead, there were countless enormous fungi.
Some of them look like umbrellas, some like towers, and some like layers of coral.
The smallest is at least three stories high, and the largest... Leah estimated that the giant mushroom in the center of the mushroom forest was probably over fifty meters tall.
All the mushrooms were glowing.
A myriad of colors of fluorescent light—deep blue, pale purple, emerald green, soft pink—flow between the mushroom caps and gills, illuminating the entire forest like a dream.
"It looks so beautiful..." Leah murmured.
"It's also dangerous," Vera warned.
"This mushroom forest is so rich in food that many monsters live here."
The eagles began to descend.
As they approached the mushroom forest, Leah smelled a scent.
It wasn't that musty, rotten smell, but rather a fresh, sweet aroma, like a blend of a forest after the rain and honey.
The eagle landed on a clearing at the edge of the forest.
Once she was on solid ground, Leah had a more direct experience of the forest's strangeness.
The ground was soft and elastic, covered with a thick layer of mycelium.
The air was humid, and tiny, glowing spores were suspended in the air.
But it seemed rather quiet.
"The Roaring Mushroom Clan lives near a Mother Mushroom," Vera whispered.
"But we need to be careful. Last time I came, there were signs of activity everywhere. It's too quiet today."
The Mushroom Roaring Clan is today's mission objective.
Puji are one of the gentlest races in the Magic Forest.
Their mycelial networks can purify polluted land and balance the distribution of elements.
But they are at the very bottom of the food chain in the Magic Forest.
Therefore, it is also a food reserve for many monsters.
Lynn crouched down, her fingers lightly touching the ground.
The mycelial network transmits a faint stream of information—waves of fear, panic, and pain.
"Something's happened, come with me." Lynn stood up.
The three of them and the eagles ventured deeper into the forest.
The light inside the glowing mushroom forest is unpredictable.
Sometimes, as you walk past a blue mushroom, the surroundings become a deep, dark blue, like the ocean.
Sometimes, when you walk through a patch of pink fungus, the whole world seems to be tinged with an ambiguous warm hue.
"There's a fighting atmosphere on the left," Lynn whispered.
They approached quietly.
After bypassing a giant umbrella-shaped mushroom, the sight before her made Leah cover her mouth.
It was a destroyed mushroom village.
The short, mushroom-shaped creature lay on the ground.
That's Puji.
They are about half a meter tall, with short arms and legs on their round bodies, and simple facial features under their colorful umbrellas.
At this moment, many of the Puji had wounds on their bodies, from which glowing bacterial fluid seeped.
The predators were three slug-like creatures.
However, these slugs are quite large, each measuring five or six meters in length.
They are translucent grayish-white in color and covered with a viscous secretion.
Furthermore, they do not have obvious eyes; at the front is only a ring-shaped mouthpart filled with fine teeth.
At this moment, one of them was swallowing a whole Puji into its body—through the translucent body wall, you could see that the Puji was still struggling.
"Help... gurgle..." A faint voice came from inside the slug.
"Lia, use water shields to protect the wounded area!"
"Vera, [Forest Healing]."
Lynn made a decision instantly.
This monster has extremely high magic and physical resistance.
Even ordinary high-level mages and knights might not be able to kill them.
However, this thing is extremely weak to fire.
However, fire-type monsters are extremely rare in the Magic Forest.
Therefore, they have almost no natural enemies.
But who is Lynn?
The Celestial King has returned.
A master mage of all magic systems.
Lynn started with a level 3 wood-type spell, "Thorn Prison".
The three slugs were trapped inside.
The thorns in the thorn prison could not harm them at all.
Lynn never intended to use a control skill to deal damage.
These slugs began to spew corrosive, sticky projectiles from their mouths.
The thorny prison began to be corrupted.
Flames gathered in Lynn's hand.
The second-tier fire magic [Explosive Bullet].
One per message.
Not every mage is a divine child like Lia.
Minimal mana consumption.
Deal the highest damage.
This is the basic cultivation of a Dharma Master.
With a loud "boom".
The three slug monsters let out unpleasant cries under the raging flames.
Finally, the sound grew fainter and fainter.
Oh dear.
It's very simple.
With ease.
The battle lasted less than a minute from start to finish.
The surviving Puji huddled together, trembling, looking at the visitors with a mixture of gratitude and fear.
Under Vera's [Forest Healing].
A pale green light enveloped the injured person, the mucus was purified by natural magic, and the wound began to heal.
Lynn looked around at the messy mushroom village.
The collapsed mushroom house, the broken glowing fungal column, and the plops of the casualties...
In a world where the strong prey on the weak.
Weakness is the original sin.
"Who is the leader?" he asked in the voice of nature—the druid's ability to communicate with all things.
Regardless of what kind of living thing it is.
As long as you are in nature.
They could all understand what the druid was saying.
The puppies looked at each other.
Finally, one of the larger Puji, with a scar over its eye, emerged.
"Honorable Druid, I am Grom Mushroom Roar, the chieftain here." Grom's voice was respectful.
In this magical forest.
Druids are different from other creatures.
Because Druids always follow the way of natural balance.
They guard the peace of the magic forest.
Even though the Magic Forest is still a place where the strong prey on the weak, it has provided a place for various races to live.
Grom looked at Lynn with gratitude in his eyes and continued, "Thank you for your help, esteemed druid."
"Excuse me, is there anything we can do to help you with, that the Mushroom Roaring Clan can do?"
