Secret Dice

Chapter 524 Don’t use it!

"Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen...a total of seventeen gold ingots."

In the dark and messy black store, the big-handed merchant counted them one by one, and finally looked at Luo Jun with a smile on his face.

"Guest, you are really capable. This is the first time I have seen someone come with so many gold ingots in so many years."

This big-handed businessman has his head on his index finger. He is a bearded man. Like the beautiful businessman before him, his face is also very clean, without the kind of disgusting tumors and growths. If you ignore the body, it is quite pleasing to the eye.

"I have also put in a lot of hard work." Luo Jun nodded: "In this way, help me exchange 70,000 banknotes, and exchange the remaining ten for a Void Pass!"

"Okay!" The bearded man quickly exchanged things for Luo Jun. Although this guy looked fierce, his service attitude was the best among the big-handed businessmen Luo Jun had ever seen.

Putting the exchanged items into the smart equipment bag, Luo Jun left the store and walked towards the people waiting outside.

"How's it going?" Sun Xiaowei asked expectantly.

Luo Jun made an OK gesture, and everyone was happy after seeing it.

More than ten days have passed since the enhanced version of the monster-attracting incense was made. I have to say that the effect of this thing is really scary. After it is lit, monsters that smell the smell will gather around them no matter how far away they are. If there weren't many experts and strong strength in the team, they might not be able to withstand this kind of continuous attacks. attack.

If ordinary monsters are just attracted, then Chaos monsters are simply crazy. Luo Jun discovered that the attraction of this thing to chaos monsters far exceeded that of ordinary monsters. Not only would it attract the monsters, but it would also cause the monsters to go crazy, greatly increasing the danger. If it weren't for Mr. Yuan who was in charge, I'm afraid there would have been more injured people in the team.

As for Ling Jian, he is still unconscious, but judging from the shape of his body, more than 70% has been replaced by chaotic matter. What's even more amazing is that even though Tian Lingjian didn't eat or drink for so many days, he managed to survive and still maintained his most basic vital signs.

According to Mr. Yuan, Ling Jian should have used some special method to reduce metabolism to an extremely low level, delaying the process of being replaced. If it were another person, he might not be able to survive ten days or ten hours.

"Now that we have obtained the Void Pass, the banknotes in our hands have already exceeded 100,000. As long as we exchange the exit indicator, we can leave this hellish place!" Ma Qiao said excitedly.

"Don't be too optimistic." Mao Xintong shook her head: "Don't forget what was mentioned in the diary before, the exit will change."

"In the diary, Grandpa and the others do not have the Void Pass, and their speed towards the exit is very slow. Judging from the interval between exit changes, if we have the Void Pass, we may still be able to get there before the exit changes."

Luo Jun nodded: "There is no other way now. Let's go to the White Store to redeem the exit indicator."

These days, not only do they attract monsters, but the group also takes the initiative and records the locations of several stores. During the period, the store also provided two diaries, but they had no substantive content. The only thing worth noting is that the black store was not mentioned in these two pages of diaries.

It is clear from the previous diary that Zhuge Qian had visited the black store. Later diary indications showed that he also exchanged banknotes from the black store, but there was no diary that directly mentioned the black store.

Is it a coincidence?

Seeing that most of Ling Jian had been replaced, and others who would start to be replaced at some point, Luo Jun had no time to explore the secrets, so he could only try all the methods he knew first.

…

"Sir, you came just in time. I just collected another diary." The fat businessman rubbed his hands with a smile on his face.

"Oh?" Luo Jun raised his eyebrows: "It's rare. There has been no new diary for a week. How much money do I have left with you?"

"After deducting this diary, there are still five thousand." As if he was afraid that Luo Jun would regret it, he directly thrust the diary into his hand.

Luo Jun opened the diary, and everyone gathered around to read the contents.

"We encountered a group of virtual monsters marching."

"This is a spectacle we have never seen before. We did not dare to approach it rashly, so we could only follow this monster army quietly."

"Because we were too focused on tracking, we accidentally activated a gargoyle when we passed an intersection. This is a very difficult monster to deal with. It has strong melee combat capabilities and high vitality resistance. Several people in the team They are not fighting sects, so it is really difficult to deal with this kind of monster."

"Just when we were studying how to get around, three monsters suddenly rushed out from the monster army. After they left the team, they took on physical form and rushed directly to besiege the gargoyle."

"Although the gargoyle is powerful, it still couldn't resist the siege of three monsters. Finally, its head was smashed by one of the monsters holding a sledgehammer, and it turned into dust all over the ground."

"After these monsters killed the gargoyles, they left to chase the team. We went to check and found that the monsters they killed did not drop anything."

Seeing this, everyone looked at Mao Xintong. After all, she was the only one who had seen the army of virtual monsters.

Mao Xintong nodded: "Indeed, I also checked and nothing was dropped."

Everyone's eyes continued to look at the diary.

"Out of curiosity, we continued to follow the team and found that as long as they encountered monsters, the team would divide into several groups to kill them, and the monsters killed by them would disappear without leaving any drops. Could it be that Is this monster army here to clean up the maze? If this continues, won’t all the monsters in the maze be killed by them? Then where can we make money?”

"Just when we were thinking about how to deal with it, a chaos monster suddenly appeared in front of us!"

"It has no fixed form, is almost immune to physical effects, has high spell resistance, and has extremely strong power. It is a monster more troublesome than a gargoyle!"

"At this moment, the monster legion suddenly became commotion, and then dozens of monsters emerged from it, rushing towards the chaos monster like crazy!"

"Although the Chaos monsters are powerful, they were unable to withstand the siege of so many monsters and were eventually completely destroyed."

"But this time, the monster dropped a gold ingot!"

"Moreover, one of the monsters stepped forward and picked up the gold ingot!"

"Could it be that they are also collecting gold ingots? Just when I was wondering, Chen Jin's reaction suddenly became a little strange, and he actually walked in the direction of those monsters."

"I was about to call him, but Chen Jin shouted out first. He called out 'Brother'!"

"We were all shocked. This group of monsters will come out to attack at the slightest sign of trouble. His voice will probably attract the entire group of monsters."

"But unexpectedly, the monsters didn't seem to hear them and didn't react at all. Chen Jin didn't give up and chased after him and shouted. Finally, a monster with a body full of fire turned around."

"Chen Jin ran up. The monster opened its mouth and seemed to say something, and then suddenly shot out a fireball. The explosion flames almost filled the entire corridor, and the heat wave pushed Chen Jin back." "When the flames dissipated, then The monster is gone, and so is the army of virtual monsters. We tried to chase in the previous direction, but we hit a dead end and couldn't find any trace."

"I asked Chen Jin what happened just now, and Chen Jin said that the monster covered in fire was his brother."

"We were all surprised. The monster was more than two meters tall. It was covered in fire. Under the flames was a skeleton-like body. It didn't look like a human being. But Chen Jin was very sure that the monster disappeared during the Chaos mission six years ago. Chen Ni. He said he could tell from the monster's fighting habits and tricks."

"We were all shocked when we heard that. Since the monster on fire was Chen Ni, what about the others? Could it be that those virtual monsters that paraded with the procession were all transformed into humans?"

"We continued to ask Chen Jin what the fire monster said to him. Chen Jin said he only said one sentence:"

"'Don't use the Void Pass!'"

"What does this mean? Isn't the Void Pass an important prop for clearing the level? Why aren't we allowed to use it? Is there really something wrong with that black shop? The actual effects of the things it sells are different from those described?"

"If that's the case, then our chances of leaving are slim..."

"No, I have to find a black shop and figure things out."

"I remember that I exchanged two maps at the black store last time. After discussion, everyone decided to have a good rest today and use the map tomorrow to try to find the black store and find out!"

…

The diary ends here…

After reading it, everyone looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

It turned out that those virtual monsters were all cultivators who had participated in the mission!

And what does it mean that you are not allowed to use the Void Pass?

"Does it mean that if you use it, you will turn into those monsters?" Sun Xiaowei swallowed, with lingering fear: "Fortunately, we have used it..."

"Sure enough! Everything in the black shop is defective!" Ma Qiao scolded: "You really can't believe such an ugly businessman!"

"It seems that all the information from the black shop cannot be trusted." Zhuge Zi frowned and said: "What do we know now, which ones are true and which ones are false?"

"I think that the information provided by the black shop may not be all false..." Luo Jun put forward a different opinion: "Think about it, what is written in the description of the Void Pass?"

"After using it, you can enter a state of nothingness and pass through walls." Mr. Yuan recalled.

"That's right." Luo Jun nodded: "Even if you use it, you will really turn into those monsters, but do you think they have really entered a state of nothingness and can pass through walls?"

"But the instructions didn't mention turning into a monster!" Ma Qiao retorted.

"I didn't say it won't change." Luo Jun spread his hands: "So I think the information provided by the black store should be accurate, but it is not complete. They have selectively concealed part of the information."

The reason why Luo Jun made this judgment was of course not just speculation. He mainly used dice to verify the reliability of the black store information.

"Concealing something is terrible." Mr. Yuan sighed: "Sometimes a partial truth is more harmful than a pure lie."

"It's not just black shops..." Mao Xintong said: "We can't even judge whether the 'Chen Ni' in the diary is telling the truth."

"To be honest, I'm about to meet the clearance requirements, and I'm told that key props can't be used. I can't accept it..."

Others also nodded. Despite what the diary said, there was still a glimmer of hope in everyone's hearts.

Luo Jun looked at the fat businessman. The latter shivered instinctively, and then his eyes began to dodge... Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, he could only reach out and wipe his sweat: "Dear guest, you have taken advantage of me these days. Enough information... To be honest, I am only a small part of the rules of the maze, and I don’t know everything..."

"What about the origin of this virtual army?"

"I really don't know about this..." The fat businessman shook his head like a rattle.

"Okay..." Based on Luo Jun's understanding of this businessman, he shouldn't lie about this kind of thing, nor would he use the few dice left.

Luo Jun took out the Void Pass and sighed: "I wish I had discovered this page of the diary earlier. I would have saved ten gold coins and could have replaced an additional exit indicator."

"Then what should we do now?" Sun Xiaowei was confused: "Is it true that we can't get out?"

"It's okay, there is still hope." Luo Jun comforted him while showing all the treasures in his hand that could be exchanged for money. After calculation and exchange by the merchant, Luo Jun was given a total of more than 90,000 banknotes, plus the money he had saved Yes, the banknotes in his hand now exceed 160,000.

After exchanging an exit indicator, Luo Jun looked at the fat businessman: "How long will it take to get a new diary?"

"We have tried our best." The fat businessman frowned and said, "But in such a big maze, taking a few pieces of paper is more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack. I'm afraid..."

"I believe you still have a way..." As he spoke, Luo Jun shook a wad of banknotes in his hand: "I want diaries, the more the better, the sooner the better!"

The businessman's eyes lit up: "If you give us enough funds, we can use some extraordinary means..."

"How much funding is needed?"

The businessman swallowed and pointed out five fingers: "Fifty thousand yuan!"

"Okay!" Luo Jun didn't even bargain this time. He directly counted out 50,000 banknotes and slapped them on the window sill. Then he flashed his watch and said, "This way, at 11:30 tonight, it's still the same place. I'll collect the diary."

"This..." The businessman said, "You know, after our store opens, it will be moved to another place in an hour. It is impossible to stay here."

"Transfer?" Luo Jun sighed and picked up the banknotes again: "Then I can't find it..."

"Wait!" the businessman hurriedly stopped: "It's not like this can't work..."

Luo Jun smiled slightly and put back the banknotes: "Then it's a deal!"
