The son of the dragon who walks

Chapter 144 Preliminary Exploration of the Dungeon

Charles tidied up his things.

Because Shire didn't intend to go deep into the dungeon for the first time, so I only brought some drinking water and food.There is also the backpack of loot supported by Hephaestus.

Then Shire officially entered the dungeon.

The underground city is a very magical place, and no one knows how big it is until now.Because the Loki family with the highest exploration rate so far has only expeditioned to the ninth floor.

No, the expedition hasn't started yet, and it will take some time for the Loki Familia to reach this record.

The overall structure of the underground city is in the shape of a cone, and the area becomes smaller as it goes up. The first floor is the smallest, only about the size of a few rooms.

Ciel still has some information about the dungeon in his memory, and with the addition of some information provided by Aegina with the map, Ciel's cognition is also clearer.

First of all, the dungeon takes twelve floors as a level.The 24st to 25th floors are the upper floors, the 36th to [-]th floors are the middle floors, and the [-]th to [-]th floors are the lower floors.

As for the 37th floor, because few adventurers can set foot, they are collectively called the deep layer.

The monsters living in the dungeon, like animals in nature, each have their own territories.

Of course, in addition to relying on living habits, monsters were born in different classes because of their different strengths and weaknesses.

The upper, middle, lower, and deep floors of the dungeon correspond to the lower level (LV1), third level (LV2), second level (LV3, LV4), and first level (LV5 and above) of adventurers.

That is to say, the upper floor, that is, floors one to twelve are suitable for lower-level LV1 adventurer activities.

Most of the monsters living here are equivalent to LV1 adventurers.

The twelfth floor is also called the initial dead line. Only the upper-level adventurers who have achieved great achievements and upgraded can continue down and have a chance to survive.

Because not only the terrain is more complicated and dangerous there, but also the monsters living there are presumed level LV2 or higher.

The presumed level is the guild's estimate of the danger level of monsters based on the strength of different monsters compared with the strength of adventurers.

Of course, among the monsters, there are also some enhanced and special species with intelligence or special abilities. Their strength and danger are far superior to monsters of the same race, and may even be one or two levels higher.

In addition to enhanced species and special species, there are also monsters called floor masters in the dungeon.

A particularly powerful monster will be born in every twelve floors of the dungeon, and its strength is generally two levels higher than the monsters on the same floor.

For example, the giant Goliath killed by the rabbit in the original plot, as the floor master of the middle layer, the normal Goliath is presumed to be two levels higher than the ordinary LV2 monster in the middle layer.

But the dungeon sensed the existence of the god Hestia, so the enhanced Goliath was born at that time, and the presumed level reached LV5.

Generally, there will only be one monster of this kind, and it will be refreshed on a fixed floor, so it is also called the Lone King of the Labyrinth.

That is not a powerful enemy that ordinary adventurers can face alone. A large number of adventurers must form a team to crusade safely.

Of course, they are also the best source of great achievements for talented adventurers.

Thinking about it this way, even if you act cautiously, you may encounter fatal danger in the dungeon.

Not just because the monsters are alive and have the potential to move to other floors by themselves.

An even bigger source of danger is the dungeon itself.

Whether it's Hephaestus, Aegina's information, or Ciel's memory, they all say one thing, that is, the dungeon itself is alive and has its own will.

He will set traps when the adventurer is proud, and will also deal a devastating blow when the adventurer is not in a good state.

The birth of special monsters is considered a small problem, and the dungeon often creates a dangerous situation where large-scale monsters are born and riots, which is the so-called "monster feast" to eliminate adventurers.

Charles even wondered if the dungeon rules explored by the major families were deliberately shown to adventurers and gods.

But that's not what Shire cares about right now.

This time, Shire's goal is to reach the middle layer and return on the same day.

No matter how unlucky he is, he should meet Goliath, the owner of the middle floor. With Shire's ability value, he should be able to handle it with ease.

And even if a monster feast breaks out in the middle, Shire is fully confident that he will escape unscathed.

The appearance of the first floor is the same as that of an ordinary cave. Although there is lighting from luminescent ores, it is still quite dim, giving people a rather depressing feeling.

It took five or six minutes for Charles to see the first monster.

Goblin, a low-level monster that has appeared in many Western fantasy works.

The goblin was less than one meter tall and looked like a malnourished child.But their skin is a disgusting dark green, and their pointed ears cover their eyes.With a mouth full of sharp teeth and a vicious look.

The strangest thing is the way they appear, they are actually "drilled" out of the wall.

Charles inspected the dungeon just after he entered the dungeon. The walls were just ordinary rocks, and he didn't know why he spit out such a big monster.

Should it be said that it is a dungeon that is also a mystery among the gods? The way monsters are born this way is really amazing.

All monsters are bred by the dungeon, and they also inherit the dungeon's malice towards adventurers and gods, so as soon as the goblins appeared, they rushed towards Shire with all their teeth and claws.

Ciel took a step back, out of the way of the goblin's claws.

The goblin's move failed, and he didn't realize that there was a huge difference in strength between himself and the opponent, and continued to attack Charles.

Ciel had already seen the power of the goblin, and he was not interested in playing with it anymore.

After all, it's just a presumed LV1 monster, the lowest level monster that doesn't even have special abilities.Neither speed nor strength is at the level of ordinary people.

Ciel stepped forward and punched the jumping goblin with a jab.

With a bang, the hit goblin exploded into black mist directly in the air, and a purple stone fell to the ground.

Charles seems to have seen the words "magic stone +1" appear, this is his first loot in the dungeon.

It's worth about 10 to 20 Farleys. How should I say it? Charles spent 300 Farleys for a pasta last night, which means you need to defeat [-] more goblins to make up the most shabby dinner. .

Ciel put away the magic stone and continued to move into the dungeon.

Because of the map, Ciel went directly to the entrance of the next floor.

Because the upper area is the area where newcomer adventurers of LV1 move, in order to take care of these workers, the guild will generally provide the most basic map.

As for the maps of the middle and lower layers, you need to spend money to buy them, and the maps of the deep layers are precious resources kept secret by the major explorers.

Charles continued to go deeper, and with his bare hands, he came directly to the entrance of the thirteenth floor, which is also called the original dead line.

You must know that the average adventurer goes to the dungeon for the first time, even if they have seniors from the same family to take care of them, most of them stop at the seventh or eighth floor.

Who would have thought that Charles would come directly to the middle level, and he didn't intend to stop.

Along the way, Shire also saw many other monsters living on the upper floors.

For example, tall orcs with crude weapons, and man-eating ants with hard carapaces that move in groups.

The most special thing is the shadow-like Zhan Ying who is completely black.

However, the trouble caused by these monsters was not as great as the fog that appeared after the tenth floor. Of course, they all turned into magic stones and materials in Charles's backpack.

It's a pity that I didn't meet the young dragon of the owner of the lower floor. The dragon scales and teeth of the young dragon are good materials, and Shire originally wanted to get it.

However, Charles didn't hesitate, and directly entered the middle passage.
