The first step of Project Dawn is to establish a stronghold in the underground ruins.

This stronghold is of great significance, it symbolizes that Hamlet Town has entered a new stage in the exploration of the labyrinth, and symbolizes that humanity has officially launched the "occupation" of the labyrinth.

It will excite adventurers, sweep away the somewhat sluggish atmosphere during this time, and boost the credibility of Hamlet's officials.

This is crucial for the next action.

People cannot stand without faith, and the same is true for organizations.

Why did Wei Ying give a large sum of money to the person who carried the stake back then? Just to establish credit!

Count Hamlet's words persuaded Pan Long, who originally planned to build a stronghold in the wilderness first, following the principle of "to get rich, build roads first", so he simply took a large amount of supplies and went to the golden stone tablet in the underground labyrinth.

This time he went it alone, without a single companion.

For him, as long as he walks through once and knows how to go, it is much more convenient to act alone than to lead a group of people.

Once inside the underground ruins, he ran straight away, and in only a quarter of an hour it was almost two hours long before the group of people walked to the stone monument that glowed softly golden in the darkness.

Looking at the stele, he nodded and smiled.

"Although I don't know which former sage you left behind, but after being bullied in the dark for so many years, you must also want to take revenge on those demons and monsters, at least take a bad breath, right? Now, it's your chance to take revenge!"

Of course, the stele would not answer, but the golden light flickered slightly.

Pan Long knew that holy relics were spiritual, and a few holy relics were not only spiritual, but could even manifest with divine power, transform into various forms, and even transform into human forms to communicate with people.

For example, in the dream world, there is a blazing sun spear left by a hero who failed to kill a god, known as "the most MAN weapon", and "the most beautiful sword moonlight".

If you go down the path of fighting the Moon God, the weapon will turn into an old man with white hair who will visit you and lead you to a quest where you can get it.

As for whether you can defeat the evil spirit that the dead hero turned into and take the Blazing Sun Spear from its hands...... That's the player's own problem.

Anyway, you won't die, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, hero, please start over.

As for whether the players will have a grumpy attack after visiting his mother several times, and even curse and smash things - the word hardcore game, don't you understand?

However, Pan Long had never obtained this blazing weapon, and it was like a burning weapon in his hand.

It was a very late weapon, and he didn't even play until that time.

...... Who said that VR games are inconvenient to open plug-in modifiers, and he is a little handicapped.

Removing the building materials from the dimensional bag, Pan Long began to build a line of defense around the golden stele.

To build a stronghold, you first need a fence that can block the monsters from approaching - the walls are not suitable, as they will block the view and will be vulnerable to sneak attacks.

The material of the fence is naturally hardwood, which has been strengthened with divine power and is very strong. And when it forms a closed loop, it can also echo with the holy relics inside and transform into a sacred realm.

In the sacred realm, not only can the evil forces not invade, but the holy relics themselves can also be nourished, and the power will not be lost, but will gradually increase.

This is the most important part of establishing a stronghold, and without this sacred realm as a backing, no matter how powerful the power of the holy relics is, it will eventually be exhausted.

Pan Long cleaned up the ruins around the stele, then dug a ditch in the ground and placed a fence behind the ditch...... This ditch can then be used to cooperate with the sacred fountain inside the stronghold, turning into a circle of flowing living water to enhance the effect of the sacred enchantment.

The whole process was nothing particularly troublesome for him, the only problem was that it took a little time.

Whether it was the ruins or the stone slabs on the ground, they were very fragile in front of him, and they all shattered with a wave of his hand.

When he didn't need to hide his strength, the first half of the underground ruins, a novice-level labyrinth, was simply vulnerable.

But he alone is not enough, if there are not enough adventurers to sweep the maze together, even if you want to force out the bosses hidden in the depths of the maze, it is impossible.

There are several dangerous bosses hidden in this labyrinth, the most dangerous of which is the "Mad Prophet" - a sage who was persecuted by the scumbag old earl and finally went mad. With an immortal body, he will not really die no matter what kind of attack he receives, and even if the player bombards him a hundred times, he will be able to reappear for the hundredth and first time, still full of energy—or madness—to attack anyone who steps into the labyrinth.

To truly solve him, it is necessary to trap him inside the sacred barrier, and then activate multiple relics to purify him of the contamination.

As long as the pollution on his body is purified, this immortal sage will be able to regain his senses. Although he will fall into weakness as a result and will take a long time to recover, he is well-informed and can provide valuable information through his "precognition" ability, making him a very important NPC in the later stage.

...... However, I don't know if it was the malice of the game designers, if the players saved him in the front, it would be difficult to achieve the "Holy Return" ending later.

Because this old sage will have a premonition of the reincarnation of the moon god, he will do everything to kill the puppet girl controlled by the moon god, so that the moon god will be reincarnated without anyone to take care of it, and die in the most fragile infant stage.

Of course, this is impossible, and as a result, the reincarnated Moon God will go berserk before he has time to grow, and players will have to fight it again. Although it can be completely slaughtered, it will make the evil old earl lose his restrictions and cannot truly destroy it.

Similarly, if the player takes a different route and kills the evil old earl first, it will also cause the Moon God to lose his restrictions and gain true immortality.

If you want to eliminate the two culprits together, you must let them eat dog and fight until they are all killed.

The immortal bodies of the two demons are in conflict with each other, and as long as they fight to the death, each other's immortal bodies will soon cancel each other out.

If you're hardcore enough, you can even swing your sword at this point and try to take a one-on-two approach and slash both of the masterminds behind the scenes under your own knife to win the hardest achievement in the entire game - Kill Evil.

At the beginning, in the game website, the operators were very keen to pursue this achievement, and some people even launched speedrun competitions with this achievement as the goal......
