Chapter 36: The Tower of Sharpening (I)

This is an extremely wide and empty world.

As far as the eye can see, they are all earthy yellow, full of the architectural style of the Mayan civilization.

Palaces, bungalows, walls, piers, and all sorts of bizarre staircases intertwine irregularly, forming an intricate labyrinth.

These buildings, which have been destroyed by the river of time and are only left with ruins, are now quietly sinking into darkness, like crocodiles waiting for their next prey, giving people an extremely depressing feeling......

Suddenly, a faint light came from inside one of the buildings that looked a bit like a warehouse, and then a man in an apprentice's robe walked out of it with a torch in his hand.

Xiwei wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief, this dead and silent world realm is naturally the [Grinding Tower: First Floor].

But don't be fooled by its apparent empty appearance.

In fact, there are a lot of monsters hidden in this dungeon, which is full of dark alleys and messy traps.

And there are some places where the number of monsters is outrageous—like the tunnel that Sivi just passed.

For example, the Sirius spider, which is the size of an ordinary domestic cat, has a pair of large teeth that can inject venom, and is extremely violent. As a level 6 spider-jumping monster in the crusade, the Sirius Spider does not have the silk-spinning ability of ordinary spiders, but these guys with excellent night vision will jump out of all kinds of unexpected corners to sneak attack. Because the jump distance is thirty times that of its own body (that is, it can jump almost ten meters), many times Sivi has been attacked by them before he even notices.

At this time, the magic barrier that Sivi had just learned not long ago played a considerable role.

Unlike magic such as the Mage's Hand Magic Missile, which cannot move as long as the spell is cast, the magic barrier cannot act when casting, but after the spell is cast, it can be used at will while maintaining the operation of the magic barrier.

In fact, while the Magic Barrier and the Mage's Hand are currently both cast spells, many mages insist that the Magic Barrier should be classified as a blessing type of magic, on the grounds that the Magic Barrier, like the Blessing Spell, is not subject to cast penalties when acting on the body......

In short, although the magic barrier can only defend one side, Xiwei really only needs to defend in front of him when he pushes it all the way.

From the beginning to the present, there have been double-digit wolf spiders that will suddenly pounce like bullets from a distance, and then slam into a glass wall that cannot be seen, snapping with a crisp sound, splashing a puddle of green water and slowly sliding down like an animation...... From the visual point of view alone, this scene has a subtle sense of humor in the midst of disgusting.

In addition to the Sirius Spider, there are also some ghoul maggots and odd-faced clay puppets in this dungeon.

The former is only level 4, but if it is not cleaned up for a period of time, it will explode like a bomb with pus, and then fly out of it with green rotten flies, which are obviously more difficult to deal with than before it metamorphosis (the process of insects changing from one look to another, such as caterpillars turning into butterflies and the like) is much more difficult to deal with.

The latter weren't creatures, they were calf-tall creatures who looked like crudely made little natives with an Indian mask and were actually ancient alchemy puppets. Although the odd-faced pottery puppet does not have a crusade level because it does not belong to the category of monsters, but if it is seriously speaking, its strength is enough to be as large as ten adults combined, and its body is almost pig iron, its combat power should far exceed that of the wolf spider and the ghoul maggot - if it does not have the weakness of being afraid of water. …,

In short, although the last Queen's Shaw still passed through the underground tunnel safely, these small things also caused him a lot of trouble. He was relieved to be able to get out of the tunnel.

It's also worth mentioning that while those monsters are troublesome, the things they can collect look pretty good.

For example, the venom gland of the wolf spider, the dead embryo of maggots, and the mask of the odd-faced pottery puppet, etc., I think you should be able to exchange for good resource points after clearing the customs.

Unlike the previous field dungeons, this dungeon looks like a pure maze, but it is much better than the normal maze, as you can see some markers pointing the way from time to time.

It's just that the number of obvious shortcut monsters like the tunnel he just walked through is also unexpectedly large.

But compared to another path that is three times as far away, it's worth the trouble.

You must know that even if he has taken a shortcut, Xiwei has already eaten two pieces of portable food. And it's not because of the lack of magic, it's just that I'm hungry and eat it to maintain my strength to walk through the tunnel.

Even the short road is so long, and if you are halfway through the long road, you may starve to death......

If Sivi had used the mage's hand to keep the torch high now, he would have seen the stone ceiling at a height of about fifty or sixty meters.

By the way, the dungeon's camp is at the foot of the cliff-like walls.

In addition to the original potion crystals and portable food, the supply box also has a compass, a torch, and a hand-cranked barbecue......

Every time I see this barbecue grill, I can't help but complain in my heart: System, what are you going to let me bake? Spider maggots or ceramic shards?

Well, either way, he wasn't interested in tasting it. Although there seem to be some places on the planet that also have roasted spiders and other foods......

"Judging from the map, I should have reached the center by now, and if the time is ...... It's been almost half a day, and it's morning outside......"

Enduring the fatigue caused by long hours of exercise and lack of sleep, Xiwei looked to the northeast and began to cheer himself up: "Very good, only half left!" ”

On previous trips, he had seen several murals that might have been maps, and although they were a little different in some places, they were all roughly the same shape, and the most striking thing was that each had a tent-like pattern in the lower left corner, and a large pillar in the upper right corner.

The tent is supposed to be the camp as the starting point. As for the pillar, Sivi naturally wouldn't think it was the Armstrong Boom gun. Although he didn't know what exactly it was, the destination he was going to was obviously where the pillar was.

After a short break, Sivi made direction with his compass before heading out on the road again.
