Starship Girl Express

Chapter 402 Old Rules

This kind of huge space void cannot be formed naturally within a dense marble mountain, let alone a passage that connects the ground and the ground in all directions. If the local people are allowed to construct it, it will not be completed every few hundred years. However, the experienced guide touched the moss at the entrance of the cave and reported to the guild that he had discovered a dungeon that was not three months old.

Of course, this is just an exaggeration. It is impossible to just look at the moss. To confirm that it is a newly born dungeon, and what level of dungeon it is, more evidence is needed.

For example, the magical dust floating like fireflies in the cave. Although the channel walls are all hard rocks, these magical dusts seem to seep out from the rock wall, which makes people suspect that there are large chunks of beautiful crystal mines behind. , But the rock wall inside the cave is granite besides marble, specifically minerals and natural glass. The name is calcite, quartz, feldspar, mica, pyroxene, etc.

As for the crystals that were transported by the natural gathering of magical power, they were completely missing.

In fact, these magical light and dust are actually like nectar. They are spontaneously and deliberately spread by the "city control source" to the outside world, so as to attract those beasts into the maze, provide protection, or become food. , To collect their magic.

Therefore, the maze can be judged from the density of the dust, and then the smell, the traces of monsters, and the shape of the channel structure as mentioned above.

Animals will leave various traces and smells, as well as the unusual moisture in the air in the cave. The strange metal and plant smells all have their own different meanings. Among all the smells, the most notable smell is blood. Wei, let alone the veteran, as long as he is not stunned, a normal person will not be stupid to drill into the bloody hole.

Generally speaking, the city control source has a spontaneous instinctive adjustment mechanism, just like a human being. When you are full, you will stop eating, first digest the food in your belly and talk about it-in the process, it will be eliminated Get rid of all the smell of blood.

And when the light and dust begin to diffuse again, it is the digestion is completed, and when the Warcraft is welcomed again, nature is so magical... So when the bloody breath persists for a long time, or even overflows, it means that there is in the maze What happened, some incredible monster came, and slaughtered all living things in the dungeon with a crushing force.

This kind of monster is often the prey of true adventurers, and can harvest high-quality magic cores. If you find the battlefield of the previous batch of hapless teams, you can also make an extra...so low-level but threatening dungeons, Some teams will rush forward, get up early and the birds will eat the worms, while others will wait for the right time. The oriole will eat together with the cicadas.

This type of maze is not old Daniel’s food. At most, he will report it to the service desk in the Adventurer’s Hall when he finds it. They will not sell information privately. In this kind of dungeon, humans are the most terrifying monsters. When you meet other teams, it's basically black and black.In order not to leak the wind, all the staff were definitely killed, and no one, including the guide, could hide it.

Even if you are a completely harmless and innocent adventurer, how can you ensure that the person on your side will not attack or set a trap in front of you?This is to put his own destiny in the hands of the other party, so innocent old Daniel has seen a lot, but they all disappeared in the end.

So there is a hidden rule. Two teams without level ten adventurers will not set out to enter a dungeon at the same time. If they run into a dungeon, don’t treat acquaintances as acquaintances. Keep a good distance. Just go ahead, or one party will withdraw and leave...

Such a high-risk maze, as long as it is not clear for a long time, the blood will only grow stronger... Generally, the situation will only end after the Celestial team enters.

It’s not that the heavens will not attack each other or be attacked by human adventurers. It’s just that they can pass on the news after death in some way, so that the illegal attackers will be punished afterwards, so let’s do it. People have scruples-except for desperadoes who leave the Arctic City with just one vote.

This principle applies to high-level adventurers, that is, those above level ten. Those who can be resurrected sooner or later, if they can’t completely silence their mouths, they will always make people more worried-rituals, temples, churches, resurrection magic, etc., these are actually They are all measures to reduce the death penalty. Randomly or naturally rebirth on the altar that is set up, but they will suffer the maximum or even additional punishment.

But the world above level ten is beyond the reach of old Daniel, because their targets are generally "secret realms", a kind of unnatural, specially designed and modified murderous dungeons, attacked from endless monsters. , To the deadly traps spreading over every inch of space, from the strange puzzles that make people puzzled, to the superior existence that seems to have no weaknesses at all and cannot be defeated...

Therefore, although the atmosphere between humans in the secret realm is much more harmonious, it is based on the premise that the environmental dangers are infinitely magnified...and after all, there are only a few of the ranks above the tenth level, and there are more places where humans are mixed. It is a naturally formed underground city and maze.

Compared with the secret realm, the naturally formed dungeon maze is simply safer than the tavern in the city.As for the knowledge of the secret realm, the old Daniel also taught himself after he officially entered the industry. Although he would never go to the secret realm in his life, he knew what it was, and at least knew how to walk around when he encountered it.

According to the explanation in the "Basic Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy and Magic" left by the Magic King, this should be an underground fortress left by an extinct super civilization, with a self-repair mechanism, and the strange traps, mechanisms, and mysteries inside. The question is the defense mechanism of the fortress. The indescribable monsters encountered are the previous generations of warcraft and creatures that they have imprisoned, and even the ancient gods who dominate the world. Some are stronger than all the ancient species known today. exist.

Therefore, the secret realm is actually the prison of the prehistoric super civilization and the refuge of the doomsday, and it is reasonable that there are a lot of secret treasures.So where did the prehistoric civilization go?They have contained and controlled the ancient gods of the world. Is there anything else that can defeat them?

The Magic King gave a bold guess-prehistoric civilizations finally sublimated and left this world by virtue of their perfect understanding of profound magic, and the way was the Tongtian Pagoda in the center of the world, and now their own generation of humans is another one The world strayed into this world through the Tongtian Pagoda, so the ultimate goal of mankind can only be through the study of magic, and finally return to his hometown pure land.

And now this theory has been moved out again, saying that the heavens and humans have also come here, making everyone more convinced that one day they can go back.

Old Daniel has no feeling about these religious remarks about going back to the Pure Land, because he has already seen it, anyway, he will never see this day in his life, the only thing he can feel is that the ancients are so powerful. , Gods are all imprisoned by them, and now these people like themselves are just going to die and live in prison!I really have to walk around...

The wild, labyrinth, and secret realm are more dangerous than the other, and outside the city is a wild death zone.Recently, after listening to the news, "Black Desolation" and "Black Desolation Legion" appeared in the wild. This kind of monster that can only be seen in the secret realm, the first coalition formed by the world's cooperation has been defeated, and many people behaved desperately. , But the old Daniel is numb to the danger.

The shape of the channel structure is also a very important factor for judgment, but this is not visible at the entrance of the cave. Only after deepening can we have a clear understanding... How complicated the maze is, whether there is an area the size of a city, is a judgment Elements of the maturity of the dungeon.

Moreover, the old Daniel not only had a way of looking at dungeons, he also had a way of looking at people.A new dungeon that is 200 meters underground and no bloody smell, depending on the vegetation conditions, formed a new dungeon only three months old. If you can be sure that you are the first to find it, then you have to find a good buyer and follow up to get a magic core. Earn when you come out.

So when he wandered outside several service buildings looking for his target, and when he saw Bai Moxie coming to take the gambling win, at that moment, he knew he had found the person he was looking for...

"The northern heaven and earth of the Tongtian Tower continent, mountains and wastelands, are rich in mineral resources. Several human countries sell mines, so this is the most abundant place in the world for natural underground cities!" Holding magic Old Daniel, who was walking in the middle of the team, talked to the small audience behind him.

In a large underground space the size of a city, a large amount of light and dust gathered in the sky above 20 meters high. If the main color was not green, it would be as bright as the stars of the Milky Way... Except for Bai Wushuang and Bai Moxie, The girls who were empty-handed were fascinated by this underground galaxy world.

Bai Wushuang retracted his eyes from staring at the ceiling and continued to ask: "Ah, old sir, why is it sometimes called a maze and sometimes a dungeon? There is a large hole here, so it will be called a dungeon in the future?"

"Ah this, it doesn't really matter. Generally, there are no dungeons with only dungeons, and there are no dungeons where there are no maze passages--except for those that are specially excavated and transformed after being occupied by bandits and bandits. It's just a name... Underground The story of the city is basically finished, and old Daniel has no more experience to talk about."

"Oh, sir, there is another question."

"Ask girl."

"Why is the Arctic City not being attacked? There are people on the mainland side and the empire side... It seems that this is a base that Victoria built long ago?"

"Yes, before the signing of the peace treaty... As far as I know, when you guys came over, you dropped bases everywhere. One of them is our current Arctic City Adventurer Hall... But this world is big. It’s said that the army walked with feet, and it would take more than ten or twenty years to come here, so even if you later learned that there was a base of heaven and humans, what would happen?"

Bai Wushuang didn't believe it, and looked at Bai Lingling beside her.

Bai Lingling: "It's like this. The country's dominance here cannot be compared with the country in our concept. It depends on the area that can be actually controlled. In fact, 99.99% of this world belongs to the wild and uncivilized zone."

Bai Wushuang sighed, began to think and digest, and then prepared new questions...Old Daniel could not speak the language of humans, so when he did not use the local language to communicate with him, he could not understand anything, but through his expression, expression and tone I can feel that the little girls are questioning what they said just now... But what does it matter? I have said everything that I should say, and the service is in place. As for believe it or not, it is them.

Old Daniel grinds the toeboard. The touch of the ground and the type of rock are relatively brittle. It belongs to shale and is not a hard marble suitable for architectural carving. It is a common rock in the interior and underground of most mountains.

Rubbing with the steel nails of the shoe sole can make a very obvious mark, which is convenient to come later... In the desert mountainous area of ​​the north, it does not rain at all in most areas. The city's water supply depends on magic, so crystals and magic cores are special products. Its own consumption is also great.

Old Daniel had seen underground water. It was a dungeon that was inexplicably turned into a water-attributed monster. The entire area was connected by large and small hollow undergrounds. It is impossible for ordinary adventurers and monsters to reach the source of the city.

In that dungeon, the rocky ground was very slippery, and it was impossible to stand well. Every step had to be held firmly by the steel nails on the soles. The cave entrance was also very dense with abnormal moss and ferns, as if it were a thousand years old. Like the maze, the old Daniel made mistakes in his judgment and overestimated its difficulty level.

And now the old Daniel feels that he has overturned again and underestimated the level of this team of cute new adventurers-although they were overestimated at the beginning, otherwise he would not take the initiative to talk to Bai Moxie and enthusiastically recommend him suitable for novices Equipment, adventure props, but it seems that they are still underestimated.

I took a look at the team leader Bai Moxie holding a torch and walking in the forefront...He used to recommend the team to bring a torch based on his experience. Although it is meant to be a tie-in, the torch does have its magical effect. According to the length of stay, prepare Double torches are fine.

However, Tianren Mengxin is good to say. If you are confused, you can accept it by simply explaining two sentences by yourself. Human adventurers can't handle it either way or the other... If you just bring it to the entrance of the cave, he will not insist, and if you want to enter together Otherwise, the old Daniel will bring some for his own use.

There are magic and strange lighting props, as well as various dark vision props. The function of torches is not to provide light, but to confirm whether the environment is suffocating. At the same time, when encountering poisonous fog, plant-type monsters, torches can often be activated To miraculous...

Bai Moxie obviously didn't need to explain more by himself, so he understood why he had to bring a torch, and he calculated carefully, and only bought two to save a few more. Now he himself held the torch and walked in front as a scout.
