North of Novid, at the edge of the fungal mat network, a busy scene unfolded.
A group of Puki Masters, tasked with an official commission, was busily at work in an orderly manner.
Standing on the land not yet covered by fungal mats, they held their Puki in both hands and shook them like fruit baskets, scattering all the spores stored inside onto the soil.
Once one Puki's spores were exhausted, they switched to the next one.
This was the preliminary phase of the "Puki Master Legion" plan. By intervening, they controlled the direction of the fungal mat's spread, ensuring it extended toward the strategic fortress cities that needed defense.
Relying solely on the natural growth of fungal mats could take ages to cover strategic locations.
This was also why Lin Jun never added "Photosynthesis" to the Puki she distributed.
There would always be opposition to the spread of fungal mats.
