Volume 3 Chapter 23 The Biosphere of the Fifth Layer of the Labyrinth
Although it was said that if he encountered a seventh-order slime mission, he would definitely fail, but Shi Leiyin did not hesitate to come to the entrance of the fifth-level labyrinth. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć As a slime, he naturally knew very well how difficult it was for the slime race to advance to the seventh order. His starting point is so high, and he has obtained several adventures in a row, and now he is still a little bit short of the sixth order. And his energy has already exceeded the fifteenth level, which is not inferior to most seventh-order monsters, which shows that the slime's upgrade has been completely separated from the energy upgrade in the later stage. In addition, the seventh order is the threshold for entering the real high-level monsters, if it weren't for the ninth-order ancestral dragon slime, Shi Leiyin would not believe that the slime could evolve to the level above the sixth order. Because of this, Shi Leiyin is still slightly sure of solving the slime problem on the fifth layer of this labyrinth.
However, this grasp of this point shrank in an instant after Shi Leiyin entered the fifth layer, and the reason was the terrain of the fifth layer of the labyrinth.
The first layer of the labyrinth is a very ordinary large cave complex hilly terrain, and although the roof of the cave is made of glowing moss, if you look closely, you can still confirm that it is the roof of the cave.
The second layer of the labyrinth is a standard labyrinth cave, the roof of the cave is less than four meters above the ground, if it is not for a specially set aside battle arena, such as the stone giant or the minotaur demon such as tall monsters, there is no way to fight on the second floor.
Due to the mission, Shi Leiyin was directly teleported into the labyrinth. Therefore, after being familiar with the first and second layers of mazes, Shi Leiyin subconsciously thought that the nine-story mazes were all of this standard cave-like design, at most they were a little different in form.
And it turned out that Shi Leiyin underestimated the labyrinthine construction ability of the Jinkisya Chamber of Commerce. When entering the fifth layer of the labyrinth, Shi Leiyin almost thought that he had teleported to the wrong place and ran outside the labyrinth.
Overhead, there was a blue sky, white clouds floating in the sky, and flocks of creatures that didn't know if they were birds or not flying in the distance. Although the sunlight is not very strong, it can also make people feel the temperature clearly.
The entrance is a cliff with huge trees underneath it, and several green lakes interspersed with trees along the woods. Farther away, the yellow one seemed to be desert. The cliffs are flanked by bare rocky mountains, and yes, the mountains that stretch out seem to be in sight, enclosing the entire forest like a giant crescent.
Not far from the cliff there are some things that look like man-made buildings, but the dark color is more like a pile of dirt.
"Is this the fifth layer of the labyrinth? not Jurassic Park?" Shi Leiyin couldn't help but spit out. After his astonishment, he had already discovered that the woods under the cliffs were more tall ferns than trees. And the creature flying in the distance with a pointed beak quadruped wing membrane is not a pterosaur.
"Space technology, but how did the sun come about?" asked Shi Leiyin as he asked Ku behind him.
"Trade secret" Ku replied a little proudly, for some reason, Ku felt that it was a very happy thing to make this slime show surprise, you know, even if he met his own high-level demon, this slime was just an accident, and then he communicated with himself as if he had met an ordinary human.
Although he was blocked by Ku's answer, Shi Leiyin didn't care very much, and the active magic detection spread out like a radar. The secrets of the fifth layer were soon discovered.
"It turned out to be a magical image" The huge magical reaction fed back from the sky made Shi Leiyin understand that the sky and the sun he saw were just made through magic. The sun is a huge magical group of light, emitting light and heat just like the real sun, while the blue sky and white clouds are completely magical images. However, the actual roof of the cave is almost a thousand meters above the ground, and even flying monsters generally don't fly that high.
Although the main purpose is to find out the truth about the sky inside this cave, since the active magic detection has been turned on, Shi Leiyin will naturally not let go of the forest under his feet. And the feedback did allow Shi Leiyin to confirm the extent of the fifth layer of slimes.
The low-level slime in Shi Leiyin's magic sense is almost the feeling of distinguishing fireflies a hundred meters away on a moonlit night, and can barely reach the feeling that something is flashing in that direction. If there are only a few, Shi Leiyin estimates that it will be difficult to find the exact direction. But now Shi Leiyin found that almost all of the forest under his feet were magic reactions fed back by low-level slimes, and even within ten meters there were relatively clear magic reactions, at least from a slime king. And this kind of reaction similar to King Slime, within the range of Shi Leiyin's magic detection, will not be clear for a while.
"The problem is more serious than you said," Shi Leiyin looked at Ku with a somewhat ugly face. This is different from what was said, slimes of this magnitude, even if they don't sleep, they don't know if they can do it in a year.
"The situation is serious again" Ku's face was not good-looking, but he didn't expect that only a few days after the failure of the last mission, the number of slimes had increased explosively.
"You deal with it first, I'll continue to issue assistance missions, if I can find the cause of proliferation, I should be able to curb this growth" Ku finally decided to increase the crackdown. Previously, because the fifth layer was not in use for the time being, and there was a shortage of manpower, this clean-up task was only released as the only task to avoid the shortage of manpower on the first and second floors because the monster mercenaries came to take over this task. But now it seems that it is not possible to increase the number of people, this is no longer the extent that a few people can deal with it, such a growth rate, soon not only the fifth layer, but also other maze layers may be invaded by countless slimes.
"Speaking of which, where is the so-called designated location?" Although Shi Leiyin felt that the number of slimes was a bit of a headache, he didn't have any idea of giving up. Anyway, no matter how much there is, as long as the quality department goes up, it is just something that increases the points of the Chamber of Commerce for yourself. "By the way, where are the Chamber of Commerce facilities that need to be protected? those black buildings?"
Shi Leiyin pointed to what looked like a man-made structure. In the sense, those black buildings have a lot of magic reactions that are different from slimes, although they are also very weak, but Shi Leiyin can be sure that it is not a slime. At the same time, Slimin also noticed that many of the slimes' reactions disappeared after getting close to the black buildings, apparently being attacked by the magical reactions inside the buildings.
"Ah, those are not, those are giant ant nests" Ku closed his eyes and knew what Shi Leiyin was talking about, "Those are the mechanisms that were originally installed on the fifth floor, well, biological mechanisms." The fifth-level traps were originally intended to use biological ones, such as those "Ku pointed to the pterodactyls flying in the air. "Those are kind of security facilities to prevent people from passing through the air on the fifth floor. The same wurmmon are used as mobs on the ground, except that most of the wurms are eaten by slimes. ā
While Ku was talking, Shrayin also spotted a wurm that looked like a velociraptor in the movie, but was covered in scale armor, running through the forest, crushing low-level slimes one by one, and then being confused by a strawberry slime that suddenly fell from the sky. The drunken effect of the strawberry slime immediately made the wurmmon stagger on its feet, and while the wurmon struggled to shake off the strawberry slime on its face, a huge slime king pressed directly on the wurmmon's body, and before the wurmon could resist, countless slimes swarmed up from all around. The lethal-looking wurm didn't even let out a decent scream, it was eaten and wiped clean by the slimes, and there was no scum left. However, the Slime King, who initially pounced on the wurm, squirmed a few times, and suddenly absorbed the low-level slimes gathered around into his physical strength, and his body swelled again, and it actually evolved into the Slime Kingdom in this way. Then the slime kingdom seemed to feel the magic detection of Shi Leiyin, and squirmed out of Shi Leiyin's sight and magic detection range.
