Chapter 249: Inside the Underground Palace?

"Tick..."

Some droplets of water dripped from the top of the cave, creating one small puddle after another on the ground.

Catherine groped in this dark and cold cave with one foot and one foot shallow, because she didn't bring lighting facilities when she came, so her current progress can almost only be completed by groping, but fortunately, she can still feel Mo Ren's coordinate position, so she will not be completely lost in this underground palace.

Even when she accidentally stepped on a puddle of water, the feeling of her shoes getting soaked would make her feel a little uncomfortable.

You know, this is a place as deep as 100 meters underground, not only damp, but also very cold, so being wet in this kind of place is not as simple as being cold, even if it is called piercing.

But Catherine's side didn't go very far.

Because soon, Mo Ren on this side had already bypassed several complicated underground passages and came to Catherine.

And with Mo Ren's arrival, the entire cave was illuminated by a warm yellow soft light.

At this moment, beside Mo Ren, three ball-shaped objects the size of a basketball were burning, and the orange-red flames emitted by the burning dispelled all the darkness and cold around them.

"Mr. Mo, we meet again. ”

After seeing Mo Ren, Catherine also smiled slightly.

"Hmm. ”

Mo Ren nodded slowly, and then asked directly, "Did you bring the information I wanted?"

"Of course. ”

Catherine is already a little accustomed to Mo Ren's character, and she is not angry when she sees the other party so direct at this moment, but nods directly: "The courtyard has written the whereabouts of your relatives in the file, and it is now in my ......"

"Whoa!"

Before Catherine could finish speaking, the entire file had flown out of Catherine's body.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Faced with this somewhat familiar scene, Catherine just shook her head helplessly, this is not the first time that the other party has done this kind of thing, it seems that the group of guys in the courtyard is really right, relatives have become an almost pathological obsession in this guy's heart.

"The dungeon?"

Of course, Mo Ren ignored Catherine, all his attention was focused on the file at the moment, but after seeing the word dungeon, his brows furrowed tightly.

In the next second, a pressure so large that it was almost breathless directly locked onto Catherine.

"Hmm......"

After being locked by this terrifying momentum, Catherine felt that the bones in her whole body seemed to be creaking, and the indescribable pressure made her almost kneel on the ground, this almost substantial momentum even affected those flames, and at this moment the appearance of these flames burning became extremely absurd, which made Catherine's face immediately flash a look of disbelief.

[It's a lot stronger...... Is he a monster?]

The last time they met, Catherine had already seen Mo Ren's strength, so when she came this time, she was naturally ready to face the momentum of the opposite side, but she really didn't expect that the other party would become so strong in just over a month, the speed of growth of this strength is a bit incomprehensible, even if she has mastered the power of the evil god, but she can't be so foul, right?

"I ask you, is it true?"

Mo Ren stared at Catherine's eyes tightly, just as he had last questioned the other party, "You should know that I don't want you to lie to me. ”

"Of course what I said is true......"

Catherine endured this momentum and said with some difficulty: "Mr. Mo should be able to distinguish lies, right?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ All right. ”

After staring straight at Catherine for several seconds, Mo Ren withdrew the pressure he had put on the other party.

As Mo Ren withdrew her pressure, Catherine here also felt a sudden relief in herself, as if the previous pressure like a mountain was all an illusion.

"I need to explain. ”

Without giving Catherine much time, Mo Ren asked the other party calmly: "What does it mean that the clues about my relatives are hidden in the dungeon?"

"Mr. Mo, this is just a literal meaning. ”

Seeing Mo Ren asking, Catherine immediately explained to him seriously: "This is the answer given by the answerer himself, so there is absolutely no mistake, and the clues about Mr. Mo's relatives must all be hidden in the depths of the underground palace." ”

"In other words, I can only explore the dungeon with you now?"

Mo Ren's brow furrowed slightly.

Although he himself has some speculations about the underground palace, the statement given by the other party now is indeed a bit strange, which makes Mo Ren can't help but doubt the authenticity of this statement, and even guesses whether the other party needs his own strength to deliberately deceive himself like this, but unfortunately there really is no evidence to prove that the other party is lying, unless......

Thinking of this, Mo Ren also subconsciously took out a negative coin.

[No, it still doesn't. 】

After thinking about it for a while, Mo Ren shook his head again, and then put away the negative currency in his hand again.

Although it is true that he can know the truth of this matter through the sacrifice of the evil god, it is based on Catherine's own knowledge, and now it seems that this matter should be made by some 'answerer', and it is also related to his parents, so whether he asks whether the answerer is lying, or whether this matter is true (there is a subtle difference between the two), it is estimated that this greedy evil god will swallow a lot of negative coins like a lion.

After all, there is a precedent for this.

Previously, Mo Renguang wanted to know the price of resurrecting his relatives, and this evil god asked him for more than 100,000 negative coins in one go.

"Explore the dungeon, it's the rules written in the agreement. ”

Of course, Catherine didn't know Mo Ren's inner activities, and after hearing the other party's statement at this moment, she immediately opened her mouth to explain: "Even if the information of Mr. Mo's relatives is not in the dungeon, Mr. Mo will explore the dungeon with us." ”

"Hmmm......"

After hearing Catherine say this, Mo Ren also nodded slightly.

If you think about it carefully, it seems that you really got into a dead end just now, because the agreement is a thing that Mo Ren has confirmed with the evil god, and the answer given by the evil god is that the agreement is no problem, no matter who can disobey this agreement, this should also include the so-called answerer, who wants to explore the underground palace no matter what, so in this way, the other party seems to have no reason to deceive himself.

Moreover, considering the strange color block on the dungeon key, and then thinking of the figure composed of strange color blocks I saw in my dream, it seems that there is really some special connection between the two.

"Well, I know about that. ”

Without waiting for Catherine to say anything more, Mo Ren nodded himself, and then saw him flip his hand and take out a silver metal ingot directly from the storage space.

"Ah, that's ......"

When Catherine saw the ingot, her eyes lit up.

"That's right, that's the kind of quality metal you want. Mo Ren said as he directly held the thing up and handed it to Catherine on the side: "Take it." ”

"yes, I see. ”

Catherine nodded, and then she carefully took the piece of metal and carefully placed it in a pocket at her side.

However, after loading the silver ingots, Catherine did not stop there, but continued to rummage through her pockets, and carefully took out eight keys with strange sheen from them.

"Mr. Mo, this is the key to the underground palace that the courtyard promised you. ”

Catherine bowed her head slightly, looking like she was a little apologetic, and said: " Because there have been a little strange changes in the dungeon recently, so the courtyard needs more keys to interpret the new information inside the dungeon, and now I can only take out these keys and give them to Mr. Mo first, but these eight keys plus the one in your hand are enough for Mr. Mo to explore the third-level dungeon, I hope Mr. Mo doesn't mind this, once we complete the exploration of the internal information of the dungeon, we will give the remaining dungeon keys to Mr. Mo. ”

"Yes, yes. ”

Mo Ren nodded slowly, and with his nod, the invisible telekinesis also transferred the eight keys to his hands.

According to the information he collected before, the dungeon itself is a mysterious independent space, not that calling this place a dungeon means that this thing is built underground, this mysterious independent space itself is actually full of dangers, there may be guardian beasts and all kinds of messy things in it, and according to the different levels of the dungeon, these dangers and opportunities are completely different, so even if the dark green courtyard directly gives Mo Ren more than 20 keys, Mo Ren will not directly explore the fourth layer of the dungeon.

Mo Ren was planning to explore layer by layer, even if he already had nine keys in his hand now, he didn't plan to explore the third layer directly, but continued to start slowly from the first layer, carefully exploring the differences between each layer of the dungeon, even if it took a little more time.

"Thank you Mr. Mo for your understanding of the courtyard. ”

Seeing that Mo Ren was not dissatisfied, Catherine was also slightly relieved, no way, this guy is really a bit tricky, fortunately the other party agreed this time, otherwise it is estimated that she will be overwhelmed by momentum again.

"You should have something else going on, right?"

Mo Ren put the key in his hand into the storage space and asked Kailin: "If there is anything to do, tell me quickly, I still have something to do after I finish speaking." ”

"Uh......"

Catherine was stunned for a moment, and then she sighed a little helplessly: "Well, there is indeed something else." ”

Say. ”

Mo Ren nodded.

"It's not really a thing, it's a little extra help to be exact. Catherine said as she took out a very heavy book from behind her: "Please Mr. Mo accept this." ”

"What is this?"

Mo Ren used his mental power to take the book in the other party's hand, this thing has an aura of an extraordinary weapon on it, it seems that it should be more than just a book or a material.

"This is a book of links made by the courtyard. ”

Catherine immediately explained: "Considering that the courtyard will not assign personnel to Mr. Mo's side for a long time, and Mr. Mo will definitely be confused about some questions, the courtyard specially uses the 'recorder', 'translator' and ' The three members of Oasis have teamed up to create the Book of Links, which inherits some of the characteristics of the three members under the special technology of the courtyard, which can not only translate any language and material into a lingua franca, but also enable the exchange of information between them remotely, as long as one of them writes on the book, the other party can see the words after a certain delay. ”

"I see. ”

Mo Ren nodded slowly, he already knew what the courtyard meant: "In other words, I can ask the courtyard something I want to know by writing a question on it?"

"Yes, Mr. Mo. ”

Catherine also nodded in the same way: "But in addition, the courtyard may sometimes send inquiries to Mr. Mo, if you can, I also hope that Mr. Mo will answer truthfully, because this is related to the information entry in the courtyard library, and the answerer hopes that this information is as true as possible, of course, if Mr. Mo is unwilling to answer, he can also reject us in the form of words." ”

"yes, I see. ”

Mo Ren nodded slightly, and then directly put this thing into his storage space.

Although I don't understand why the courtyard doesn't use mobile phones or computers, but uses this kind of books with delays as a means of communication, it is estimated that it also takes into account factors such as information security, and sufficient security happens to be what Mo Ren wants, so of course Mo Ren will not refuse this thing.

"Can this thing send messages anywhere?"

After a moment's thought, Merin asked Catherine one last question.

"Not really. ”

Catherine shook her head slowly: " The book of links can only interact with information in the same space, if Mr. Mo stuffs the book of links into a different space, the information interaction will be terminated, but when Mr. Mo takes out the book of links, the information that was previously terminated will be instantly transmitted into the book of links, the same reason, because the dungeon is also a different space, so the inside of the dungeon cannot use the book of links, and even if the two books of links are in the dungeon, it will not work, because the spatial structure inside the dungeon is extremely weird, and the physical constants are completely different from reality, which leads to the fact that almost any communication equipment cannot be used normally in the dungeon。 ”

"Is that so?"

Mo Ren nodded, it feels like this thing is similar to QQ, and if you throw it into the storage space, it will be offline, but the information sent by the other party can be saved in a way similar to "message", and when you go online (take out the book), these information will burst out again.
