Chapter 17 Dungeon
The Haizhen Underground City was opened twenty years ago. It was previously estimated to be only seven floors deep, but later it was discovered that there is an eighth floor after the seven floors.
In the tenth year, people got through the bottom BOSS on the eighth floor and discovered that there was a ninth floor below.
Until this year, the adventure group reached the tenth level and discovered the Earth Dragon Secret Realm half a year ago.
Now no one can tell how deep the lower city of Haizhen is.
However, after detection, many professional organizations believe that the tenth floor should be the limit, and there is no possibility of an eleventh-floor dungeon in this place.
Because once the floor reaches the eleventh floor, the strength of the wild monsters will reach another level, and even full-time adventurers will have a hard time fighting them.
Since these matters are too far away from Simon, he will not mention them for the time being. At the moment, he only focuses on the rules corresponding to the floor depth of the dungeon and the strength of the monsters.
Theoretically, the deeper the floor, the stronger the monster.
In the same way, the deeper the floor, the greater the value of the materials produced.
The sixth level that Simon is about to go to theoretically corresponds to monsters in the middle range between trainee and full-time strength.
Isn’t this very subtle?
Simon's sea of consciousness happened to have the shape of the third star, but it could not be lit.
This is very similar to the positioning of the sixth floor. Simon is in an intermediate transitional state, lacking an inspiration or an introduction.
"That is to say, you need the screaming wandering soul to make alchemy reagents to guide you to promotion."
When the nun Bai Tang heard the words, she showed such a look of understanding.
On the way to the sixth floor, Simon took the time to talk about the reason why he went to the sixth floor.
In fact, it's okay if he doesn't say these reasons. The nun herself came here because of personal worship, and the other one came because of the reward, so she doesn't care too much about Simon's purpose.
However, after Simon explained his reasons, both of them had clear fighting goals, and they felt that they were fighting with more energy and direction.
Their previous battles all had the same characteristics: they only fought for a long-term goal that was too vague, and could not see the progress after hard work, resulting in a lack of motivation during the battle.
After listening to this, the little blind man had a confused expression on his face. It was obvious that her brain was not strong enough to understand such things.
"The sixth floor, I've never been there, so I don't know if I'm qualified...but I'll try my best!" She tightened her grip on the steel sword and said with force.
"Ah, the first floor has arrived." The nun suddenly stretched out her little hand and pointed forward.
As they spoke, the three of them passed through the crowded crowd, left the long stairs, and arrived at the first floor of the dungeon.
The dim world suddenly becomes brighter. When you look up, you will find that the sky is very high, at least two to three hundred meters above the ground, and the ceiling is covered with various luminous crystals and plants.
Although the light they emit is not as bright as the sun, it is enough to illuminate the first floor of the dungeon as bright as day.
Here, the luminous crystals and plants on the ceiling will glow periodically, and the glowing time is about the same as the day and night on the ground.
When it gets dark outside, the luminous crystals in the dungeon will also dim, emitting only dim fluorescence, like the starry sky in the dark night.
It's still daytime, and the ceiling is as bright as day.
There is green turf underneath, and the continuous grassland rises and falls. Various small wild monsters are surrounded by the adventure group, killing them like cutting leeks, killing one after another.
Please note that the way wild monsters are born here is not like those in online games that suddenly appear out of thin air.
Instead, they are born in piles from the mother through asexual reproduction.
Generally speaking, the mother's body has little offensive power. Once the mother's body dies, it is equivalent to losing a reproductive machine.
Once these fertility machines are killed, no mobs on this floor will be born again, which is equivalent to the artificial extinction of the wild monster resources on this floor.
In the same way, the same is true for the floors below. In any renewable resource area, there will be a mother body that is as productive as a sow.
Whoever's adventure group can control this thing can use it to continuously train troops, or turn it into materials and transport them to the ground for sale.
Here, the old adventure groups that are deeply involved in the underground city have a status similar to that of warlords, with soldiers and power, and they do monopoly-like business.
If your own team does not have the strength, it is best not to think about fighting hard.
Of course, these veteran adventure groups are not all fools. They clearly understand the importance of leeks.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.
No matter how strong the adventure group is, it cannot withstand the offensive of the sea of people.
If all the resources are controlled by them and the leeks are offended, it will only cause irresistible mass riots. Therefore, each floor has a public resource area set up by major adventure groups.
In the public resource area, no adventure group is allowed to use its strength to monopolize it. This is a way for individual wild teams to survive.
At the same time, there are also some resources that are of slightly higher value, but the collection process is complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and are classified as public resources even if the land boundaries are not connected together.
The screaming wandering monster that Simon is looking for happens to be an enclave in the public resource area on the sixth floor. It is almost surrounded by the privately controlled territory of the Great Adventure Group.
"Let's go." Simon pointed to a coachman parked on the edge of the grassland and said.
In the dungeon, if you want to go to the next level, you can either walk, pay to go through the expensive teleportation magic circle, or take a carriage.
It takes a long time to walk. If you don’t consider the time for rest and sleep, it theoretically takes two days to complete the first level, a day and a half for the second level, a day for the third level, a full day for the fourth level, and the rest are about a day’s journey.
.
In fact, it is not impossible to go from the first floor to the sixth floor, including the transition time for camping and resting, for ten days and a half.
It only takes a few seconds to walk through the magic circle, but the cost is one thousand blue gems, which is equivalent to one-half the salary of an ordinary trainee adventurer.
Taking a carriage is much more economical and cost-effective. It only requires one to a dozen fine blocks, depending on which floor you go to.
The process of riding a carriage is equivalent to the running map in the game. Although it is also a down-to-earth walk, it is much faster than walking.
It only takes half a day to get to the sixth floor from here.
The horses here are stronger than those outside, their coats are purer, and their flames are purer.
Simon could tell at a glance that it was a flaming horse breed from the third level. Its bloodline was purer than the horse he rode on land that cost one piece of gold. At the same time, its physical strength and speed were doubled.
"Where are you three going?" the coachman asked cheerfully, touching the burning flaming horse, his hand was not hot at all.
"Sixth floor." Simon handed over eight blue sperm blocks, and the two people behind him immediately got on the bus.
The coachman was a little surprised when he heard this.
The sixth floor?
Only three people?
Are you sure there is no problem?
But looking at Simon's affirmative expression, the coachman said nothing more.
After everyone got on the carriage, the flames on the flaming horse immediately burned more intensely, its hooves caught fire, and it immediately galloped along the dirt road on the grassland, leaving traces of flames everywhere.
The carriage followed the official road established by the Adventurer Coachmen's Association. There were no monsters along the way, and the road surface was well-maintained. The horses only needed to run with all their strength.
The speed of the carriage gradually increased, reaching a speed of tens of kilometers per hour.
The little blind man held the sword in his arms and did not put the sword into his backpack. He was full of vigilance.
But seeing the nun by her side, she felt at ease again, so she rarely had time to look at the scenery outside.
Sister Baitang looked at Simon secretly. When she noticed that Simon turned his head, she closed her eyes, held the cross in her hand, and prayed silently.
She had a pious look on her face, as if she was saying to the air: Our Lady, please bless us for a smooth trip.
But if you listen carefully, you will vaguely hear a vague note similar to "Ximen".
Simon didn't think much. He looked at the nun's long golden hair, and then at the skinny girl who was looking out of the car in a daze, and nodded invisibly.
Outside the car, green fields stretch into stretches, with wild monsters slowly eating grass and looking up at the sky. Even the light on their faces feels gentle.
