Chapter 17 The addition of monsters in the maze and the spirit statue
Today's adventurers are roughly divided into two groups.
One wave, headed by trainees and junior adventurers, was dedicated to dealing with ordinary slimes and mushrooms near the portal.
After all, the monsters in this strange space will not drop the spirit crystal, but will directly feed it back to the killer.
It is much faster than practicing on your own.
Encountering ordinary slimes is normal, encountering mushrooms is a surprise.
The other wave is led by mid-to-high-level adventurers, who frantically sweep away the elite slimes nearby. If they are unlucky, they will be beaten up by the slime man.
Fortunately, everyone gathered together consciously and did not leave too far.
Mutual support is also very fast, and many teams have priest members, although most of them are juniors.
It also greatly reduces the number of people kicked out of the maze.
Of course, knowing that there is no life-threatening danger, the bold adventurers began to approach the Immortal Labyrinth.
This made Yan Mu feel a little worried.
I was still thinking of redeeming the lord-level BOSS first, but it looks like it will be postponed.
At present, there are still plains for dozens of kilometers inside the high wall of the Immortal Labyrinth, and most of the adventurers who come in are near the plains.
Going further in, it's a forest area, but of course it's not necessarily that.
Some high-walled entrances lead to forests as soon as you enter, and there are also swamps.
Not fixed.
After thinking for a moment, I decided to add two types of maze monsters.
Otherwise it would be a bit monotonous.
Naturally, the jungle wolf must be arranged. This is a monster that has been coveting for a long time.
The Cold Cave Demon Spider must also be arranged, and the price is the same as the jungle wolf.
[Coyote (normal):
Random slots (agility enhancement 6, strength enhancement 6, bloodthirsty 1)
life 400
magic 50
Attack 55
Agile 45
Comes with skills:
Bloodthirsty: 10% of the damage caused by attacks will be converted into own blood.
Claw attack: The attack has a bleeding effect, causing 55 damage + 11 bleeding damage.
Bite: Perform a bite attack on the enemy, causing 82.5 damage + 11 bleed damage.
Stealth: After discovering the enemy, it will hide itself, slowly approach the enemy, and cause 110 damage when attacking the enemy's back. 】
I was originally thinking about turning it into a humanoid monster like King Slime.
After thinking about it for a moment, I gave up.
It's better to wait until the elite monsters are out and the grid is enough.
The bloodthirsty skill is one of the three purple skills drawn this time. It is very powerful, but it is a pity that there is only one.
Today's jungle wolves may not be recognized by adventurers when they see them.
There were exploding tendons everywhere on his body, his hair was flowing, and his eyes were glowing red.
Normally it should be glowing green, maybe because of bloodthirsty, but it can still be seen clearly even in the sun.
Very breathtaking.
Of course, it's not without its shortcomings.
The current jungle wolves must spawn where there are trees, so the low-level adventurers on the periphery have escaped.
[Cold Cave Demon Spider (Normal):
Random slots (Strong Glue 2, Life Enhancement 10, Life Toxin 1)
life 600
magic 200
Attack 15
Agile 15
Comes with skills:
Life Toxin: Any attack triggered will cause poison damage equal to 1% of one's own health. It is triggered every five seconds and expires when the body dies.
Sticky Spider Silk: Spouts out a large amount of extremely sticky spider silk from its tail, slowing down the enemy and releasing life poison, deducting six points of life from the opponent every five seconds.
Spider Silk Cage: A large amount of spider silk is ejected from the tail, wrapping the enemy and releasing life poison, deducting 5 points of life from the opponent every 6 seconds.
Spider Silk Wandering: Speed increased by 100% when walking on spider silk.
Bite: Fly towards the trapped prey, causing 30+6 points of damage]
Life poison is also one of the three purple skills.
The moment he saw this skill, Yan Mu thought of the Cold Cave Demon Spider, a guy with full control and wide attack range.
Although the current attack is still overwhelming, it is only on par with elite slimes.
But the combination of skills is ridiculously abnormal. When the blue skill "Strong Glue" is doubled, as long as it touches the spider silk, it will be like being stained by the elastic super-strong 502 glue.
Not to mention cutting a piece of flesh, but also to shed some blood.
If you are trapped in the spider silk cage and do not kill the Cold Cave Demon Spider in time, you will have to wait for death.
After all, the Life Toxin Cold Cave Demon Spider will no longer deduct blood after death.
Of course, after killing the Cold Cave Demon Spider, it is extremely difficult to clean off the spider silk on its body.
What should be done is what the adventurers should consider. Yan Mu only thinks about how to cause trouble for them and have some fun at the same time.
There are also special requirements for refreshing, and it can only be refreshed in three places: forests, swamps, and caves.
The low-level adventurer escaped once again.
Fortunately, most of the maze environments on the first level are forest swamps. The cave environment is only available on the second level after the adventurers pass the first-level guardian BOSS.
Seemingly thinking of the despair, regret, and trembling expressions of the adventurers, Yan Mujie laughed strangely.
I feel like I'm smiling more and more like a villain lately.
After a lot of excitement, the number of souls dropped directly to the point.
Yan Mu made up his mind to save a lord-level BOSS no matter what.
As for the elite jungle wolf and cold cave spider, there is no rush. Anyway, it is impossible to refresh them on the first level of the maze if they are obtained now.
After all, the higher the level of the monster, the closer the spawn position is to the Demon King's City. The limit of the first level of the maze is probably the level of an ordinary jungle wolf.
Since these two monsters have good abilities to kill adventurers, he spent a lot of money in order to attract these adventurers.
Adventurers who kill a jungle wolf have a 10% chance of getting a jungle wolf skin, a 100% chance of getting three gold coins, and a 1% chance of getting strength enhancement.
The Cold Cave Demon Spider obtains 10% sticky spider silk, 100% obtains three gold coins, and 1% obtains life enhancement.
It can only be said that Yan Mu was at a loss.
Of course, maybe he is the only one who thinks so.
At this time, the first floor of the Immortal Maze.
Several members of Maple Leaf Team walked cautiously inside the high wall.
At the slightest sign of disturbance, Xu Lulu would be frightened and scream in surprise.
The few people didn't plan to come in, but when they passed the entrance, Xu Lulu, who was looking around, suddenly said that she saw a strange white statue that glowed.
Just two to three hundred meters inside the high wall.
After some discussion, several people decided to come in and explore.
Observed from the outside, there is still a large area of grass inside the high wall, but it has undulations, and the only monsters that can be seen are slimes and mushrooms.
Not much different from outside.
The location of the statue is on a prominent slope, as if it is afraid that others will not see it.
Such things as idols were abolished by the Yanling Empire more than a hundred years ago.
Before that, there was a very large force from the Free City that came to the empire to spread the faith of the God of Light.
A large number of pastors flocked to it and took it as an honor to join the Church of Light, monopolizing almost the entire pastoral power.
Since the Church of Light came to the Yanling Empire, the casualties of adventurers have not decreased, but have been increasing.
At that time, dozens of teams might not be able to recruit a junior priest.
So, have the pastors of the Light Church cured the illnesses of the people?
No, even if there were, they would charge high amounts of spiritual coins and only serve the rich.
Whenever a pastor provides free medical treatment to low-income people, the church will publicize it, hoping that the whole world will know about it.
But this situation is almost always for show.
At the same time, the most talented "sons of god" and "goddess" from all over the Yanling Empire were selected, and all were sent to the Free City on the grounds that they could listen to the teachings of the God of Light more closely.
During those decades, not a single legendary priest was born in the entire Yanling Empire!
By the time the empire's top officials paid attention to it, the Church of Light had already grown and had connections throughout the empire.
In the first few years, I planned to deal with it slowly, but the more I dealt with it, the more frightened I became.
Over the past few decades, a total of more than a thousand talented priests and four to five thousand so-called knights have been brought to the Free City, which are swordsmen and shield warriors wearing the standard armor of the Church of Light.
Knowing that there was no need to delay, the Empire decisively chose to survive by cutting off its arms and launched a small-scale war against the Free City.
Use the excuse of war to completely liquidate all the Light Churches in the territory.
You wouldn’t know it if you didn’t arrest him, but once he was arrested, he actually brought out several high-level officials of the Free City.
The old king, who was still very energetic at that time, was so angry that he almost died on the spot.
Good guy, I organized a group to go to my own house to dig people out, and after further investigation, I found that less than half of the middle and low-level officials in each city had been bribed!
He almost declared an all-out war with the Free City on the spot.
Fortunately, sanity still existed. After cleaning up the internal Church of Light, the war was hastily ended. Both sides did not dare to make the matter too big. If they really wanted to fight, the Free City might not be able to defeat the Yanling Empire. .
After all, the gap in numbers is too large, and coupled with the current stable situation, there are only five super powers left in the entire continent. A little carelessness will cause chaos in the entire continent.
After everything calmed down, it can be said that the Yanling Empire suffered heavy losses this time, but fortunately it was completely rid of this problem.
At the same time, the Adventurer's Guild was also created to encourage priests to join the adventurer team.
After more than a hundred years of development, the current system has been completely stabilized.
The empire also developed rapidly under this system...
The Maple Leaf team bypassed all the monsters encountered on the way and successfully reached the high slope.
This time everyone finally saw the full picture of the statue.
This is a statue of a gentle elder sister who is about four meters tall, dressed gorgeously, holding a book, and wearing round glasses. She looks very intellectual.
Below the statue, a stone slab with many grooves and strange patterns floats horizontally. There are also three little figures carved on the stone slab, seemingly demonstrating the use of the stone slab...
On the right hand side is a gorgeous dagger that looks like it was made of blood.
Xu Lulu took two steps closer, and the uneven surface of the stone slab immediately sunk downwards, turning into a groove that was exactly the same as the staff in Xu Lulu's hand.
It seems that Xu Lulu was asked to put the staff in.
Everyone exclaimed suddenly.
This kind of miraculous thing has never been heard of by anyone.
"Let me try!"
Xu Lulu took a few steps back and immediately walked to the stone slab.
The stone slab changed for a while, forming a groove that was exactly the same as Li Zhuang's shield.
Just much smaller.
"It doesn't seem like it can fit in, right?"
Li Zhuang placed the shield on the groove and gestured.
"Snapped"
Li Zhuang suddenly felt that his hands were empty, and the shield about two meters high disappeared.
Looking down at the stone slab, he saw that the shrunken shield was perfectly embedded into the stone slab.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
How on earth did this get put in?
Li Zhuang quickly grabbed his shield. As a shield warrior, without a shield, his combat effectiveness plummeted.
Several people saw this and stepped forward to help.
Not surprisingly, it failed.
Now, everyone can only try to find clues from the little figures on the stone slab.
On the left side of the slate is a little man who is stacking gold coins on the slate.
On the right was a villain who was cutting his wrists with a bloody knife. It always felt like a cult ritual, so everyone gave up decisively.
At the signal of everyone, Li Zhuang took out a pile of gold coins from his backpack and placed it on it, but there was no reaction at all.
"Did you put too little in?"
Xu Lulu made a comparison with the pictures above.
"It's not enough."
Zhou Tianyou affirmed Xu Lulu's explanation.
After hearing what the two men said, Li Zhuang placed two gold coins on the stone slab in succession, and was about to put in the third time.
The stone slab suddenly mutated, and the gold coins on it quickly dissolved, flowing along the grooves toward the shield like liquid.
"Bang~"
The shield in the middle was spat out from the stone slab along with pink petals, along with a few unmelted gold coins, which Li Zhuang quickly caught.
Everyone hurriedly gathered around to see what had happened to the shield.
But after looking over and over for a long time, I didn't have a clue.
Li Zhuang re-equipped the shield, and suddenly, more than a dozen pink petals appeared around him, slowly falling to the ground, and in a steady stream.
Li Zhuang's face suddenly fell.
"I think I know what's changed..."
The moment he was equipped, Li Zhuang sensed the aura on the shield that could only be found on spirit-bound weapons.
You must know that this is just an ordinary fine iron shield, how can it have the spirit bonding skill?
But now it has it, and what it senses inside is a piece of pink petal-shaped spirit bonding skill.
Its function is that after it is equipped, beautiful pink petals will appear around you when moving or attacking. The petals will exist for a minute after they fall to the ground, which is very girly.
But the question is whether he is a pure man or a strong man. Is this reasonable?
"what?"
Everyone immediately became excited.
Lizhuang walked back and forth a few steps without explaining, and beautiful petals immediately floated around him.
"charge!"
Then he charged and crashed ten meters away.
It leaves a trail of petals slowly falling to the ground along the way.
"Ah this..."
Everyone was silent for a moment.
"Pfft~hahaha..."
Several people burst into laughter and couldn't stop at all.
It's really unconventional. The fat man has pink petals floating around when he walks, which is really eye-catching.
Li Zhuang felt that he could no longer keep the shield.
It affects his tough guy image too much.
Xu Lulu was a little envious and was considering whether to give her staff a beautiful special effect.
She had also saved a lot of gold coins during this period, and she thought it would be no problem to add special effects to her staff.
"If you want to try it, just try it, don't hesitate."
The fat man said nonchalantly.
After all, in the past few days, I have obtained a lot of gold coins, most of which Xu Lulu earned by treating others.
"Fat man is right, you should try it too."
Zhou Tianyou nodded and said, "Maybe we can get another skill? By the way, let's see how many gold coins are needed at one time."
