Volume 2 Chapter 149 Dungeon Time (2)
The entire dungeon is very large, and it is estimated that it is almost as large as the area of the ancient capital of Karot. However, the monsters on this level are generally of the first order, and after some battles and tours, Thor and Teemo began to look for a staircase to the second floor of the dungeon.
The dungeon is full of forks in the road, and for greater efficiency, Thor and Teemo sometimes search the junctions separately, calling their companions if they need support in a crisis.
Looking at the gloomy environment in front of him, smelling the thick bloody rancid stench in the air, Thor suddenly suspected for a moment that this dungeon might not be a secret place. Maybe it really exists somewhere underground on this continent, but it has not been known for many years, is it possible?
In a corner area on the first floor of the dungeon, the two finally found the staircase that descended.
I thought it would be a shabby wooden staircase or something, but the reality was the opposite, and the entrance to the staircase was a large, hideous tongue with a bloody mouth open.
Walking into it, each stone staircase is very wide, enough for seven or eight people to look side by side. The entire staircase twists downward in a spiral around the invisible central axis, and after walking to the end and walking out of another snake's head, the field of vision suddenly widens, and it is obviously the second floor of the dungeon.
After reaching the second floor, there were significantly fewer traces of the adventurers, and Timo also restrained his distraction and began to take it seriously.
The battle began to get a little harder, but with the cooperation of Teemo, it was barely able to hold on.
When facing second-order monsters, Timo's Wind Blade attack could no longer deal effective damage, and even the enemy's defenses could not be broken. But occasionally interrupting the enemy's offensive or attracting attention can still be done, and it will be enough for Thor.
The strength of the monsters that appear in the second layer is generally in the form of a mixture of the first and second orders.
The first layer is the first order, the second layer is the first and second order, and the third layer may be a mixture of the second and third orders, Saul tries to make an incremental guess.
Think about what Herry, the manager of the adventurer's station, once said, at present, there are people who can go down to the eighth floor at the most, and it is likely that those people are facing a mixed monster of the seventh and eighth orders. Thor was a little yearning, not knowing when he would be able to participate in that level of battle.
The overall environment of the second floor of the dungeon is not much different from that of the first floor, and there are still many iron cells on both sides of the passageway, but the terrain is still a little different. For example, at a certain cross-road intersection, a flat square open space will suddenly appear.
These clearings are wide and there is nothing.
At first, Thor wondered about the meaning of this kind of clearing, but looking at the thick, dry blood stains that had accumulated between the bricks on the ground, Thor suddenly thought that this might be the place of execution, and maybe many people had been beheaded here.
In addition to the open space, you will sometimes encounter a cemetery of black soil, which is messily filled with crooked crosses. As soon as you get closer, you will crawl out of a variety of disgusting things like skeletons, rotting zombies, and so on.
After getting used to the rhythm of the battle, the Timo guy became active again.
"Hey, Boss, come and see what I've found?" said Teemo's voice of surprise in the air.
Thor turned his head to see that it was a short aisle on the side, with two barred cells on each side of the aisle, and Teemo was peering through the bars into the innermost cell.
Raising the torch to see the wall at the end of the aisle is obviously a dead end, and theoretically there is no need to explore it in order to save time. But Teemo had been flying around excitedly, and it was hard to say if his actions made any sense.
Looking in the direction of Timo's gaze, what else could there be in the barred cell but the presence of enemies, but Teemo's tone didn't sound like it, which eventually piqued Thor's interest and turned into the hallway.
"Hey, boss, we've got to have more food tonight, and by the way, good wine, we're going to get rich!" Teemo shouted and threw himself into the cell through the barred doorframe, just as Thor had just walked through the first cell in the aisle, his eyes just out of the second room.
"Don't rely on ......!" Thor was startled at the moment when he saw the environment in the second cell, but unfortunately he was still a step too late. Before he could finish speaking, Teemo had already pounced on a treasure chest in his cell.
At first glance, it appears to be a treasure chest because of its unusual texture from the outside, and the exterior is inlaid with metal and ornaments that appear to be crystals or gemstones, reflecting a brilliant and gorgeous light under the light of the torches.
But it was precisely because of this appearance that Thor instantly had a judgment. Although the number of adventurers on the second layer has decreased, it is still regarded as a daily coming-and-going situation, and in terms of probability, it is impossible for this treasure chest to be kept here for a long time and no one has ever found it.
Another point is that the appearance of the treasure chest is obviously new, and it does not look like it has been baptized by time at all. If this secret realm does leave a similar surprise for adventurers, Thor thinks the chest should be more dilapidated and ancient.
So Thor suspects that this is not a treasure chest at all, but may be a trap or some hidden enemy.
Sure enough, the moment Timo pounced, he seemed to want to use his skull to see if he could open the chest. However, before Teemo could touch the chest, the chest suddenly opened its own bloody mouth and swallowed Teemo whole in one gulp.
In that brief moment, Thor could see clearly that there seemed to be flesh and blood in the chest, sharp fangs on the edge of the chest, and a blood-red tongue dragging on it.
Wait for Thor to rush to the side of the treasure chest.
"Boss, help, I'm stuck. Damn! it's ...... I'm licking!oh my God!!!!!
Thor tried to slash twice, and then tried to shove the blade into the gap of the box to pry it open, but the bite force of the box was obviously unbreakable, and after two circles around the box, Thor could only slap the box helplessly.
"Calm down, Teemo, it's a second-order monster, and it's so sturdy I can't open it from the outside. I just noticed that it's made of flesh and blood, maybe you can break through from the inside and try using the Wind Blade. Saul suggested.
"Puff puff ......" A series of strikings of flesh came from the chest, and Teemo was visibly terrified, and in this short moment, it was estimated that dozens of wind blades could be released, and the entire chest shook the ground.
After a while, the chest suddenly opened on its own, and the whole treasure chest spread forward with its mouth open, its long tongue dragging weakly on the ground. Apparently this second-order monster had been killed from within by Timo, Thor breathed a sigh of relief.
Teemo rolled to the side, the entire skull clinging to saliva or some other liquid.
He staggered out of some unstable trajectory, then hit the wall with a "tom~" sound, and finally hovered in front of a robe and faceless statue that looked like a cultist, crying at the sculpture.
"Woo~ Boss, it licks my eye sockets... Nostril... Even took away my kiss, woo woo woo~"
The corners of Thor's eyes twitched, and it was clear that the poor fellow Temo was so disgusted that he couldn't even tell the difference.
"You...... Normal, I'm here. It's been killed by you, well done, it's a demon soul now. Thor stepped forward and took a rag from the ring and helped Teemo polish it.
"Woo~ Boss, I want to eat the roasted veal in the sauce you made yourself. Teemo cried.
"Okay, okay, these are the little things, as long as you pick yourself up. Thor comforted helplessly, the corners of his eyes twitching. To make that food, you have to buy tender beef and marinate it, in short, it is very time-consuming, and this stinky boy dares to take the opportunity to make a request.
After Timo absorbed the demon spirit, the two continued their adventure.
Along the way, Timo was much more honest, complaining, and exaggerated how thrilling he had just been. Thor was a little funny, it wasn't easy to disgust this guy.
"Don't speak!" Thor slammed into an aisle as he stopped Teemo and squinted slightly to look ahead.
It was a long passageway, and at the crossing, about twenty paces ahead, three adventurers, two men and one woman, were fighting.
It's just the enemy they faced...... It appeared to be two skeletons floating in the air, their heads hidden in their hoods, only half of their bodies draped in an inverted triangular cloak, and thin bony claws protruding from under the cloak.
Thor had never seen such an enemy, and it was impossible to tell if it should be classified as a necromancy or a ghost.
The male swordsman among the three adventurers did not seem to be weak, and he suddenly swung his sword and slashed at the enemy several sharp slashes.
However, Thor saw with his own eyes that the swordsman's attacks, while accurately hitting the enemy, seemed to have no effect. Even a piece of the rag on the enemy's body could not be chopped off, and the blade seemed to penetrate through the enemy's body.
And the ghost's attack was also very strange, and it swooped down on the swordsman, only to pass through his body lightly.
Then the swordsman's whole body suddenly stiffened, began to decay rapidly, and fell down like that. In the blink of an eye, the men and women of the three adventurers had fallen, and one of them was still there rolling and fleeing.
"Let's go!" Thor made a decisive decision to exit the aisle, a ghost-type enemy that was disembodied and ineffective in attack was clearly beyond his capabilities.
When the second step backwards fell, Thor suddenly felt two cold breaths appear out of thin air behind him.
"Timo be careful!" Thorl shouted, and he rolled forward and scurried into the cell by the aisle.
"Hell!" Teemo dodged, taking the opportunity to fly to Thor's side.
Thor suddenly remembered that Herry, the administrator, seemed to have said that you should not retreat in the reincarnation dungeon. At the time, I thought it was a word of encouragement for people to move forward, but now Thor realizes that 'don't back down' may have another meaning.
It is very likely that once you retreat in this secret realm, a ghost will appear behind you.
The two ghosts drifted in the air like fallen leaves, gradually approaching.
"Use the Wind Blade!" Thor shouted, thinking that since normal sword attacks were ineffective, perhaps magic could restrain the enemy.
"Boss, I probably won't be able to!" replied Teemo, somewhat frustrated.
"What's wrong with you?" Saul turned his head in shock, as Shogues said the same thing when he was parting, and Saul's mind was full of shadows with the words 'I can't do it anymore'.
"Maybe I used too much force when I was fighting with that treasure chest monster just now, and the mana consumption was a bit too high, and now my mana is depleted, and I need to replenish my mana through meditation methods such as sleep or rest. Teemo explained, somewhat awkwardly.
Hearing this, Thor breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time there was some bitterness in his mouth.
In the blink of an eye, a ghostly ghost had locked onto Thor and swooped down head-on.
