After retreating, they came after them

Chapter 17 Dungeon

Haizhen Dungeon was opened 20 years ago. It was estimated that it was only seven floors deep. Later, it was discovered that there was an eighth floor after the seventh floor.

In the tenth year, people got through the bottom boss on the eighth floor and discovered that there was a ninth floor below.

Until half a year ago, the adventure group entered the tenth floor and discovered the secret land of the earth dragon.

No one can tell how deep the lower city of Haizhen is now.

However, a number of professional organizations believe that ten floors should be the limit, and there is no dungeon with No. 11 floors in this place.

Because once the floor reaches the No. 11 floor, the strength of wild monsters will go up to another level, and it will be very difficult for regular adventurers to fight.

Since these things are too far away from Simon, let’s not mention them for the time being. Right now, he only pays attention to the law of the correspondence between the depth of the dungeon floor and the strength of monsters.

In theory, 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 floor that Simon is about to go to theoretically corresponds to the monsters in the middle of the ranks of trainees and full-time professionals.

Isn't it subtle?
Simon's Sea of ​​Consciousness happened to have the shape of the third star, but it couldn't be lit.

This is very similar to the positioning of the sixth floor. Simon is in a transitional state, lacking an inspiration or an introduction.

"That is to say, you need to use the screaming soul as an alchemy reagent to guide you to promotion."

When the nun Bai Tang heard the words, she showed such an enlightened look.

On the way to the sixth floor, Simon took the time to talk about his reasons for going to the sixth floor.

In fact, it’s okay for him not to mention these reasons. The nun herself came here because of personal admiration, and the other came here because of the reward, so she didn’t care too much about Simon’s purpose.

However, after Simon told the reason, both of them had a clear battle goal, and they felt that the battle was more vigorous and more directional.

Their previous battles all had the same characteristics. They only fought for a long-term goal that was too vague, and they could not see the progress after hard work, which led to a lack of motivation in the battle.

After the little blind man finished listening, a confused expression appeared on her face, obviously her brain was not strong enough to understand such things.

"The sixth floor, I haven't been there, I don't know if I can do it... But, I will try my best!" She clenched the steel long sword tightly and forced herself to do it.

"Ah, the first floor is here." The nun suddenly stretched out her little hand and pointed forward.

While talking, the three of them walked through the crowded crowd, left the long stairs, and came to the first floor of the dungeon.

The dim world suddenly became brighter. When you look up, you will find that the sky is very high, at least two to 300 meters above the ground, and the ceiling is covered with various luminous spars and plants.

Although the light they released was not comparable to the sun, it was still enough to illuminate the first floor of the dungeon as bright as day.

Here, the glowing 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 was dark outside, the glowing crystals inside the dungeon would also go dark, only emitting dim fluorescence, like a starry sky in the dark.

It was still daytime, and the ceiling was as bright as day.

Underneath is the green turf, and the continuous grassland undulates up and down. All kinds of small wild monsters are surrounded by the adventure group, killing them like cutting leeks, giving birth to waves and killing waves.

Note that the way wild monsters are born here is not suddenly refreshed out of thin air like in online games.

Instead, they are produced in piles by piles of mothers through asexual reproduction.

Generally speaking, the mother's body has no offensive power. Once the mother's body dies, it means that there is no reproductive machine.

Once these reproductive machines are killed, no mobs on this floor will be born again, which is equivalent to the artificial extinction of 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 high-yield sow-like mother.

Whoever the adventure group can control this thing can use this steady stream to train soldiers, or make it into materials and transport it to the ground for sale.

Here, the old-fashioned adventure group deeply plowed in the dungeon has a status similar to that of a warlord, with soldiers and power, and doing monopoly-like business.

If your own team has no strength, it is best not to think about biting the bullet and fighting.

Of course, these veteran adventure groups are not all fools, they clearly know the importance of leeks.

Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it.

No matter how strong the adventure group is, it cannot withstand the attack of the sea of ​​people.

If all the resources are controlled by them and the leeks are pissed off, it will only cause irresistible group riots. Therefore, each floor has a public resource area set up by the major adventure groups.

In the public resource area, no adventure group is allowed to use their strength to monopolize it. This is a way for the scattered wild teams to survive.

At the same time, there are also some resources with slightly higher value, but the collection process is complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive, even if the land boundaries are not connected together, they are also classified as public resources.

The screaming ghost mob that Simon was looking for happened to be an enclave in the public resource area on the sixth floor, and its surroundings were almost all privately controlled territories of the big adventure group.

"Let's go." Simon pointed to a coachman who was parked on the grassland.

In the dungeon, if you want to go to the next level, you can either walk, or pay to pass 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, theoretically, it takes two days to complete the first floor, one and a half days for the second floor, one day for the third floor, and a whole day for the fourth floor. The rest is about a day’s journey .

In fact, from the first floor to the sixth floor, plus the transition time for camping and resting, it is not impossible to walk for ten days and a half months.

It only takes a few seconds to walk the magic circle, but the cost is a thousand blue essence blocks, which is equivalent to one-half of the salary of an ordinary apprentice adventurer.

It is much more economical to take a horse-drawn carriage, and you only need one to a dozen pieces of essence, 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.

From here to the sixth floor, it only takes half a day.

The horses here are stronger, their coats are purer, their flames are purer than those outside.

Simon could tell at a glance that it was a flame horse breed from the third floor. Its bloodline was purer than the one priced horse he sat on land. At the same time, his physical strength and speed had also doubled.

"Where are you three going?" the coachman asked heartily, touching the burning flame horse, his hands were not hot at all.

"The sixth floor." Simon handed over eight blue essence blocks, and the two people behind got into the car immediately.

The coachman was a little surprised when he heard this.

The sixth floor?
Only three people?
Are you sure there is no problem?
But seeing Simon's affirmative expression, the coachman didn't say anything.

After everyone got into the carriage, the flames on the flaming horse immediately burned even more vigorously, its hooves caught fire, and it immediately galloped on the dirt road on the grassland, leaving flame marks all over the place.

The carriage took the official road stepped by the Adventurer's Drivers' Association. There were no monsters along the way, and the road surface was well-repaired. The horse only needed to run with all its strength.

The speed of the carriage gradually increased, about tens of kilometers per hour.

The little blind man was holding the sword, but he didn't put the sword in his backpack, his vigilance was full.

But seeing the nun by her side, she felt at ease again, so it was rare for her to have the leisure to look at the scenery outside.

Sister Bai Tang secretly looked at Simon, and when she noticed that Simon turned his head, she closed her eyes, held a cross in her hand, and prayed silently.

She had a pious face, as if she was saying to the air: Please the Holy Mother bless us for a smooth trip.

But if you listen carefully, you will faintly hear vague notes similar to 'Ximen'.

Simon didn't think much about it. He looked at the nun's long blond hair and then at the girl with the thin bamboo pole looking out of the car in a daze. He nodded slightly.

Outside the car, the green field stretches into stretches, wild monsters are slowly eating grass, looking up at the sky, even the light on their faces has a gentle touch.

As the cool grassland breeze blows past, Simon empties his brain, his heart is emptied, and it is rare to be quiet.
