Chapter 94 Scrap Mines
meanwhile
The second level of the Minoan Labyrinth.
"Hurry up, let's follow this route, all the way down, and we can find the second maze boss, Parsiphae."
Yuel greeted his teammates with tea, and at this moment, they were walking on a rocky path, with a series of waterfalls on the right, you know, although the Minoan Labyrinth is called a 'Labyrinth', but its terrain is more than one.
Now, they are at the bottom of a waterfall, leaning against the rock wall, and they have crossed the entire waterfall.
"Be careful, don't get wet."
Firefly reminded loudly:
"This waterfall originates from the River of Styx, and if it gets a little water, we will get a debuff called 'Soul Weakening', which temporarily reduces the stats of the whole body by 30% and reduces the attack power by half."
"Moreover, the debuff effect will last for an hour, which will seriously affect our actions, so everyone must be careful not to touch those rivers!"
The members of the Heng Sect Sword Regiment nodded their heads when they heard this, but there was only one person, who was a little distracted in a trance, as if he had a heart, and he had never heard the sound of the outside world, and actually walked to the waterfall in front of him.
"Samurai?!"
The companions next to him immediately grabbed him and said urgently: "What are you going to do, didn't you hear Sister Qi's advice?" ”
"Ah........ Embrace...... I'm sorry. ”
The samurai soul came back to his senses and immediately apologized to his companions.
"It's okay, it's just a little bit of a gesture."
The young man waved his hand and deliberately flattered, "Okay, it's time for us to move on, or you follow behind me, and I'll help you clear the way." ”
"Oh........."
The samurai soul ignored the other party's flattery, and his eyes were still in a trance,
Looking at the endless waterfalls, he whispered in his heart-
"Empty Monarch .........."
"Can I still be considered a 'samurai' now?"
...............
The third level of the Minoan Labyrinth
"The water in Styx is a bit troublesome, it's not easy to ingest, and if I'm not careful, I'll have to get wet."
Ye Kong looked at the river below and frowned: "However, it is much better than the waterfall of the second layer, the tributaries of the entire Styx run through, and the three levels of the Minoan Labyrinth lead all the way to the deepest ........."
The current river is just a tributary of Styx, and according to historical records, Styx is a super-large river that runs through the "Dark Realm", and it is also the largest river in the entire Demon Realm's main world, except for the "River of Akiron".
At the beginning, when Daedalus built the Minoan Labyrinth, in order to quell the fire of the abyss below, he introduced the tributaries of Styx, and washed away the heat of the fire of the abyss with the water full of souls, so that the Minoan Labyrinth could be successfully established, otherwise, the fire of the abyss that rushed from time to time would have destroyed the entire labyrinth.
Therefore, the white mist surrounding the Minoan labyrinth is the result of the fire of the abyss being washed away by the river.
"In the last life, Qingluhuo brought a few members of the Hundred Ghosts, let them go directly into the water, fetched a share of the water of the Styx River for him, and sacrificed a few of his subordinates, but he didn't have to risk his life."
"Now, I don't have any helpers, I have to rely on myself."
Ye Kong took a deep breath, observed the vicinity, and immediately kicked his feet and jumped towards the vines on the edge of the cave.
Swish!
Ye Kong drew his long sword, nailed the soft vines, stabilized his body, and began to slide downward, little by little.
Soon, Ye Kong approached the turbulent river, and from time to time there was a little splash of water, which could be swept under his feet, and if he descended a little more, he would have to eat the splash.
At that time, Ye Kong had to carry a 'soul weakness' on his back, and the following plan had to be ruined.
fortunately
Ye Kong smiled slightly, stretched out his palm, and aimed at the river below-
Crash!
A drop of water actually floated out of thin air and gathered into a ball of water, and eventually, the entire water solidified and turned into a crystal clear solid water ball.
System Hint: You have obtained a copy of the Styx River Water using Genji Harvesting, and you will not gain any proficiency due to the level 0 of the subject being collected.
"It's done!"
Ye Kong's face was happy, and he did not shy away from touching the water balloon.
Once the water of the Styx River breaks away from the river/waterfall, it automatically solidifies into a water ball, at which point it loses the effect of the cursed soul and can be accessed by any player.
Of course, the amount of water must be sufficient, otherwise a few drops of water will not automatically condense into a ball, and players need to be careful not to avoid it to be infected with the Soul Curse.
The collection level of the Styx River is 0, which means that it is a quest item.
Quest props, any profession can be collected directly, you don't have to be a collector. However, if you are a collector, you can use a 'water fishing' tool to collect the river water below in the air, without worrying about being caught in the river water.
Ye Kong has no tools on his body, but he has the Genji collection technique, and the effect of collecting is the same as that of 'water fishing', so he doesn't have to worry about being touched by the river.
No tools, but better than tools.
It is the power of Genji Harvesting.
Styx River Water: A river that was once cursed by the soul, however, now it has lost its curse nature, and only the most basic soul inclusion remains, note: Quest items, cannot be taken out of the Minoan Labyrinth.
Ye Kong put away the water balloon, carefully used the long sword, and climbed all the way to the opposite hole.
"Alright, there's only three Dark Crystals left."
Ye Kong tidied up and continued to move forward, killing a few arbiters along the way, but there was no danger.
Soon, Ye Kong turned a corner, and the front suddenly emptied, no longer a dark road, but a mine covered with black crystals!
"Well, this is it."
At this moment, Ye Kong stood in the cave above the mine, and the scene below was unobstructed.
Patches of black crystals were scattered in every corner of the mine, and at the same time, there were some stone arbiters patrolling below, not too many, but not too little.
If you clean them up one by one, with Ye Kong's strength, it will take more than ten minutes.
In the very center, there is a pillar that is different from other crystals, the whole body is as black as ink, and there are a lot of starlight embellishments on it, which is the final task prop - ink crystal.
Ye Kong looked down, his eyes were deep:
"Scrap Mine ........."
This mine is said to be the place where the maze was built to pile up scrap, so it is also called the scrap mine by players.
If it is a normal dungeon, the scrap mine is a must-visit place for players due to its abundance of spar materials, but any team that has a dungeon will definitely not let go of this place.
"No Stone Leader?"
Ye Kong swept around, but he didn't find the leader of the stone people, so after a little thought, he found an angle and slid all the way down from the vines on the edge of the cave.
Ghost Walk!
Ye Kong turned on, relying on the obscuration of black crystals and shadows, bypassing the vision of several arbiters, and quietly approaching the most central place.
