Chapter 72 The third floor of the maze!
A new conspiracy is brewing in the Nightmare Land. This time, the Demon King is personally involved. It is probably only a matter of time before the humans on the surface tremble.
At the same time, in the Demon King's Territory above the maze, two little skeletons who had just come online were gathering together and whispering.
After hearing his friend's story about what happened to him last night, [Little Rabbit Juice] opened his jaw in surprise and leaned his frame forward.
"Favorability?! Are you sure??? Is there really such a system?!"
【Little Fish Cake Juice】nods vigorously.
"It's really true! After I completed the cooking task, the system prompted me to gain 10 points of favorability...the favor of the Demon King!"
Having said that, she was still confused as to where this value was added, and she couldn’t find it in the player’s system interface.
Little Rabbit Juice touched his chin, Youyouhunhuo looked at his friend up and down, and after a while he muttered nervously.
Asking, is it possible to unlock hidden missions or something? ”
Her bad friend is one of the first to enter the game. He is now a LV4 black iron boss, and he is also the highest-ranked player she knows in the game.
Even the link she clicked on to the reservation page was sent to her by the black iron boss.
But now it seems that this guy seems to have a blind eye on various game mechanisms, and is not as reliable as he thought.
Of course.
She still gave her own suggestions.
"Wait, is this how the game is played?"
Little Rabbit Juice: "? You didn't say it can't be played like this, right?"
Little Fish Cake Juice said in a dumbfounded voice.
"I'll just play it normally... But the cooking system of this game is unexpectedly real. To be honest, I'm a little surprised."
Little Rabbit Juice scratched the back of her head.
"It's just the dream technology, whatever, it's just fun."
After that, she touched her chin and muttered.
"But I didn't expect this game to be able to be played like this...there's something about it."
Looking at his friend who seemed to be moved, Xiaoyu Cake Juice showed an expression that he didn't know what to say, and in the end he could only smile to overcome his embarrassment.
Skeletons and things like that are completely unimaginable.
At least be reincarnated into a better-looking one first?
Such as a succubus or something...
After the battle in Silverpine Forest came to an end, the players in the Necropolis who had finished their recruitment status returned to their daily gameplay.
The three small players in the first leather factory in the necropolis are still improving the weaving technology and squeezing the potential of the Shadow Weaver clan, and this time they are accompanied by a carpenter who is good at making traps.
After suffocating the chemical pool, he continued to tinker with explosives, trying to come up with a new formula with more stable output and stronger damage effect.
In addition to players who want to be capitalists and players who want to be Nobels, a group of new talents have gradually emerged in the necropolis recently.
Especially among the new players who have joined the game, there are not only little cooks with full cooking skills, but also blacksmiths who can make pots and pans, master gardeners who can grow flowers and plants, and soil dogs who are good at dusting.
Luo Yan arranged for Youyou to issue some targeted tasks to them, such as preparing three meals a day and lunch boxes for the Demon King and his pets, designing and building a steel-making furnace in the necropolis, planting herbal seeds he bought from the Demon City, directing the construction of crypt spiders, etc...
However, the areas that the tasks can cover are limited after all, and they serve more of a "macro-control" role to guide players to use their creativity.
As for how to use creativity and how to use it, it is still up to the players to explore it themselves.
Perhaps because this game is too realistic, most players are quite keen to explore the limits of the game engine.
At the same time, it is also convenient for them to do things that in reality they only dare to think about but dare not actually do.
While the life professional players are exploring the limits of "Calamity OL", the combat professional players are also not idle. They are either going down to the maze to spawn monsters and level up, or they are going deep into the Wanren Mountains north of Beifeng to search for more powerful wild monsters.
After the battle in Silver Pine Forest, the Demon King's powerful figure ignited many people's ambition to become stronger.
As the saying goes, a skeleton soldier who doesn't want to be the Skeleton King is not a good skeleton soldier.
No one is willing to be cannon fodder all the time. Even if you give a giant dragon a pedicure, you can't even scrape off a layer of skin.
Just when the high-level players in the server are chasing after the Demon King as their goal, the respected Demon King is not idle either.
The battle with the Earth Dragon Clan made him deeply aware of his own shortcomings.
Although players can rely on the ability of continuous resurrection to form a sea of skeletons, no one can guarantee that every battle will take place near the Demon King's Territory.
Just like the previous battle, there was always a time when he had to take the initiative. Once you are far away from the resurrection point, it will be difficult for the player's resurrection advantage to be reflected in the same battle.
In order to maximize the advantages of the players and obtain more chips for self-protection, he must upgrade his level as soon as possible!
A necromancer must be at least at the peak of the fine steel level or even the silver level to be able to cast collective strengthening spells on a skeleton group of thousands of people!
Only in this way can the terrifying power of the Skeleton Sea be truly unleashed!
The sea of skeletons composed of blank skeleton soldiers is not something to be afraid of, but the sea of skeletons with dozens of undead buff spells is enough to scare the most elite human legions.
Although the attribute panel of the undead unit will be weaker than that of other units, its plasticity is unmatched by other units of the same level!
On the second floor of the maze, deep in the Nightmare Cave, in the wild area outside the territory of the Nightmare Land, a giant centipede was staring at the intruders who broke into the territory, making a dangerous insect chirp.
The ones that usually harass it are some small bats, but this time it seems that a few meaty guys have come. Thinking that it will have a big meal soon, it can't help but move the pincers in front of its mouth excitedly, and countless jointed limbs swing up and down happily.
Luo Yan did not waste time communicating with this guy about the ownership of the maze. He waved the wand in his hand and shot out a burst of hot flames.
"Fire bomb!"
The centipede, which was hit by the flames, let out a cry of pain, twisted its huge body and rushed towards Luo Yan.
That mighty posture is like a derailed train!
Just as the giant centipede was about to hit Luo Yan, a strong wind suddenly struck it from the side.
And what was killed together with that figure was a broad-edged sword!
——!
A crisp sound echoed through the cave, and the giant centipede's body twisted in pain, and was knocked to the side by the ant-like figure.
The internal organs covered in insect fluid were mixed together, and the giant centipede that fell to the ground twisted its body in pain and made a harsh insect chirp.
At the same time, another figure rushed into the dust like a whirlwind!
The speed was so fast that people could not see clearly. In just a few breaths, it cut off the thousand legs dangling under the centipede like a meat grinder, and cut deeply into the soft abdomen.
The giant centipede that was split into two pieces could no longer move. The acidic slurry spread all over the ground and made a squeaking sound on the rocks.
Octeau waved the scimitar in his hand, turned his gaze to Bond aside and nodded, the communication seemed to have been completed in silence. It is worth mentioning that not only Okto, but Bond was also "promoted" by Luo Yan into a self-aware ghoul.
After being upgraded to a zombie, Bond seems to be much more taciturn than before.
The two of them are currently at about the same starting point. They both started leveling from scratch with the combat experience before being promoted. At most, they have the buffs added by the necromancer.
Now, they are already familiar with their new identity.
plea well done.»
Stepping through the dust, Luo Yan looked at his two younger brothers and nodded in approval, and then confirmed the changes in the attribute panel.
The experience value has increased by 2310 points.
I still remember that not long ago, he also killed a giant centipede of similar size, but the experience value he gained was 3,000.
Luo Yan couldn't help but fell into deep thought, touched his chin and said in thought.
"Feeling less than before."
Yuyou floated beside him.
"Could it be because of the upgrade?"
Players did discuss it on the forum. Not only the output ratio and the final hit will affect the experience gain, but the level difference will also cause the gain or loss of experience gain.
Simply put, killing monsters by leapfrogging earns the most experience. Similarly, the experience gained by a crypt spider killed by a LV4 player is only half that of a LV1 player.
If you want to level up by bullying the weak, you can only use numbers.
"It should be like this."
Luo Yan thought about it for a while, looked at Okto and Bond and said.
"The giant centipede should be the limit of this level, and the little devil is our ally... Let's go to the lower level of the maze."
"Obey!"
"I will follow your orders."
The two corpses took the order together and walked in the team one after the other, consciously protecting their "father" in the middle.
Arakdo is still at Shadow Weaver's lair to express condolences over the disaster, and Zelik is spreading fear of the Demon King on behalf of the Demon King in the Gecko Clan. This time, Luo Yan brought two younger brothers down for leveling. On the one hand, he didn't need too many people, and on the other hand, he wanted to gain less experience.
The group of people moved along the map and soon arrived at the entrance to the third level of the maze.
According to the information provided by the little devil, this is the territory of the "golem" and its creators, and it is in a more chaotic state of separatism than the first level.
Going down the hundred-meter-deep stairwell, the moment Luo Yan passed through the stone door, he saw an incredibly spacious space.
Huge gears were slowly turning on the far wall, which seemed to be a huge power source driving some kind of machinery.
From time to time, the high-pitched roar of steam could be heard in the distance. The milky white steam covered the outline of the gears and prevented Luo Yan from continuing to look far away.
Wherever he could see, dense pipelines filled the cloud-shrouded walls, while the remaining space was filled with precision gears, chains and levers.
The power source that drives their operation seems to come from underground deeper than the deepest level of the maze.
Complex art is vividly reflected here, but it is difficult to tell which of these parts are useful and which are deception.
What surprised Luo Yan even more was not the scenery in the maze, but also the layout of the entire maze——
What divides the entire space is not a narrow corridor like the first and second floors, but a series of mechanically connected rock stairs and bottomless cliffs on both sides!
The space here is extremely spacious, but there are only a few areas for adventurers to move around.
Stepping onto the steamy rock platform, Luo Yan walked to the edge of the platform and glanced down, unable to see the end of the abyss.
One hundred meters?
Two hundred meters?
In short——
The depth of this layer is simply unbelievable.
In contrast, the complexity of this maze may exceed the imagination of all intruders. After all, the previous maze was flat, but here it was three-dimensional.
Judging from the information from the Adventurer's Guild, it is obvious that adventurers outside also think that the situation here is difficult. So much so that most people are more inclined to skip classes directly to the fourth floor through the nearest passage and give up on in-depth exploration of the third floor.
Especially since Reggie Dragon died not long ago and the core of the old labyrinth was extinguished, the mechanism on the third floor may collapse soon.
They can wait until it turns into a metal ruin before going in to hunt for treasure.
Just as Luo Yan was looking around, strange metal machines were already waving their strange hands, climbing up from the edge of the abyss to the stone platform at his feet.
They have no fixed shape, as if there are four flexible water pipes inserted into the trash can to serve as arms and legs, and the eyes like light bulbs are flashing with a scary red light.
ceddie’ by repeating the cold metallic sound, several robots have discovered Luo Yan's existence and surrounded him with clumsy steps.
Okdo showed off the two scimitars in his hands. He was about to step forward with his legs, but was stopped by Luo Yan who was standing aside.
"Back off!"
As he finished speaking, he waved the wand in his hand, and a swirling airflow gathered at the tip of the wand, and then suddenly sprayed forward.
"Hurricane Hammer!"
The raging wind hit the chests of the robots like hammers, knocking them away like golf balls.
As expected.
At the same time that the robots were shot into the air, the roar of the explosion sounded at the same time, and the flying metal fragments scraped shocking scratches on the ground.
Octo's expressionless face was slightly stunned.
"This is..."
"A rare mechanical spell," There was no smell of gunpowder in the wind blowing in front of him. Luo Yan's eyebrows raised an unexpected arc, "It seems that there are quite a few heretics on this floor."
In the darkness, several pairs of eyes were staring eagerly at the group of intruders. Their panicked expressions seemed to be more than just shock at the failure of the sneak attack.
"Humans?! Undead!? Why are they here?!"
