Chapter 204: Underground Labyrinth
At the end of the deep cavern, green fluorescent plants are overgrown and spread all over the earth.
These green fluorescent plants shimmered, illuminating the bottom of the cavern, and at this moment, several figures were standing in the distance on this fluorescent land.
"I didn't expect anyone to get here faster than us?" Tom was still hiding behind Natsuki, and his tone was full of strange surprise.
"Of course, because they're people with other purposes." Natsuki looked at the three figures not far away and said meaningfully.
I saw that there were three large figures and a small figure, two big figures, a man and a woman, and a small figure was a little Lori.
And Natsuki can easily distinguish from the breath he left on the three people, these three people are Morikawa Kima and Chiba Maki who belong to the countermeasures laboratory, and little Lori Hasegawa Ai.
"Does Millennium-san know them?" Who knew that Tom was keenly aware of something from Natsuki's words.
"Acquaintance? Of course not, they don't know any millennia. Natsuki said with a smile.
"Is that so?" Tom was a little confused.
However, what Natsuki said is also true, the three of them really don't know what millennium, they only know Natsuki.
"Let's go, let's go say hello." Natsuki said.
"Huh? Is it really okay for us to say hello like that? I don't know who they are. Tom was nervous.
"Don't worry, I'll take children to play games together, and I won't be pregnant, after all, although you can kill people casually in the game, I don't think anyone will bring children in to see how they wantonly kill." Natsuki said with a smile.
"yes, I'm going to bring a child, so I guess I'm just enjoying the game." Hearing Natsuki's words, Tom also relaxed a lot.
So the two of them entered the bottom of the cave full of green plants, and stepped on the green plants that would emit light, some of which were soft as if they were stepping on the surface of the sea, and the two of them came to the side of the three of them.
"Hello, can you ask what's going on here?" Natsuki greeted.
"Hello hello, we've just arrived here, and we haven't figured out what the situation is." Among the three, Chiba Maki and Little Lori Hasegawa Ai just glanced coldly at Natsuki who came up to talk, and only Morikawa Onima replied to Natsuki's greeting a little seriously.
"So, what does this so-called dungeon look like? Or are we already standing in the middle of a dungeon, which is a dungeon? Natsuki said confusedly.
"How is it possible, this is not a dungeon, there is not even a city, what kind of dungeon is it." Little Lori Hasegawa said a little angrily.
Although Natsuki once gave little Lori Hasegawa Love cheats, but Hasegawa Love at this time couldn't recognize Natsuki at all, because Natsuki gave the cheats at the beginning with the beggar's identity helmet, but now he is just an ordinary player, of course Little Lori Hasegawa Love doesn't know that he is the mysterious beggar, even if the three people in the countermeasures research room have been looking for the mysterious beggar recently.
"I think too, since there is a city word, there should be a city, even if it is an abandoned city." Natsuki nodded in agreement.
"That's right, so keep looking, I'm sure you'll find it." Hasegawa loves little Lori and is obviously very satisfied with what Natsuki said, and even nodded appreciatively at him and said.
And just when a few people barely got along, there was a movement on the ground at the bottom of the entire cave.
At the edge of the cave in all directions, with a loud rumbling sound, stone doors rose one after another, revealing a long corridor inside, which was also illuminated by greenery.
And in the corridor, there are constantly all kinds of sounds.
Some are shouting, some are cheering each other on, and some are running for their lives.
Various sounds accompanied by rumbling sounds, getting closer and closer to the location of the stone gate, and at the same time getting closer and closer to the green earth at the bottom of the cavern.
Eventually, figures escaped from the stone gates, the same players who had entered the small caverns along the way.
And now all the survivors among them have been driven to the bottom of the cave.
That's right, it's to drive, because right behind these players, as they ran out of the stone gate, and continued to run without stopping, in the stone gate behind them, all kinds of creatures surged out, with small green walking monsters that resembled goblins, huge warriors with a body similar to orcs, and mammals that lived in groups to hunt monsters on all fours.
In short, all kinds of monsters drove the surviving players to the bottom of the cave.
Immediately, these various monsters came to a stop in a circle around the very center of the earth at the bottom of the cave.
All kinds of monsters seem to be taking care of each other, so they don't attack.
That's right, the players who have been driven into the circle are completely ignored by the monsters as if they were meat on the board, and at this time the monsters are shouting at each other and other sounds, guarding each other.
"What to do? We're blocked? ”
"No kidding, how can I die here."
"Cut, if you can't die, you'll die, it's just a pity that my level is over, and I'm going to fall to level zero and start again."
Everyone was buzzing and talking, and Tom was hiding behind Natsuki, clutching at his clothes even tighter.
Natsuki was the only one who was still observing everything, and gradually realized that something was wrong.
In this fantasy game called Legend of Mountains and Seas, which is made from the fragments of the eight-foot mirror, death is not real death, it is just a different form of existence, and then leveling up from scratch.
Therefore, in this virtual fantasy world, there is actually no death, most of people's souls are in the game, and they experience various things in the game, even if they die, they can be resurrected immediately, but the soul may have some loss, which may make people feel a little uncomfortable for a period of time after the resurrection.
But everyone thought it was because they had experienced death, so they felt uncomfortable, after all, the game was so real, so no one paid too much attention to it.
But Natsuki knew that the little soul power that was lost was actually used as an energy supplement for the illusion, and it entered the energy cycle of the eight-foot mirror fragment.
However, such a small amount of energy, and it still comes from different people, the overflowing ability, at most, is to maintain the energy circulation of the eight-foot mirror fragments, and there is no way to give birth to Magatama.
So before Natsuki was also thinking about how this dungeon was going to give birth to Magatama.
Until he just saw that players were brutally killed by vicious beasts, Natsuki felt that although the dead soul was still resurrected, it was different from the deaths of countless players before, and the players who died in this dungeon scene had a lot of emotions in their souls, especially the emotions at the moment of death, were locked and rendered, and then withdrawn.
Natsuki suddenly realized that this so-called dungeon was the factory that made Magatama.
First, the level and strength level of entering the dungeon are set, so that all the elites who can enter the dungeon are the elites of all players, and then let these elites die in fear, battle and fighting, and extract this experience is the best material for crafting Magatama.
Although these people will be weakened for a while after the massive loss of souls, no one will think that it has something to do with the game, and will only think that they have been stimulated.
After all, all gamers are fine after death, and only a small number of people, including themselves, have symptoms of mental trance, which must be their own problem, not the game's problem.
It would be fine in a few days, so no one would care.
This is also the reason why the entire game of Legends of Mountains and Seas is not made into a big smash bra and extracts soul materials from everyone.
Because some people have symptoms of weakness that can be explained, if all gamers are like this, the game will not want to continue.
"Millennium-san, thousand-year-mulberry, what should we do?" Tom continued to shrink behind Natsuki at a loss, pulling Natsuki's thoughts back.
"What should I do? At this time, there is no other way than to fight until the last moment. Natsuki said with a smile.
"In other words, can we just wait to die? I don't want to die yet.,It's in the game.,But it's scary to think about dying or something.。 Tom said with tears in his eyes.
"Maybe you don't have to die?" Natsuki said after closing his eyes a little and feeling it.
"Huh? Don't you? Tom was stunned for a moment.
"Maybe the fear and despair aren't deep enough at this moment, so do you need to strengthen it a little? Or is it better to mix the despair after hope? Natsuki laughed, saying something that Tom didn't understand at all.
Then, the next moment, the earth at the bottom of the cave began to shake with a rumbling roar.
In an instant, not only the players, but also the monsters obviously didn't expect this to happen, and they also began to riot.
Some of the monsters even turned around and tried to escape.
It's a pity that before they can make a move, they can't run away.
Because of the existence of a wall-like wall that began to rise on the ground, the space around everyone's body was divided into small pieces.
Even those monsters were no exception, a rising wall, isolating everyone, and looking at the winding and rugged wall, it was obvious that this was not a real city wall, but a labyrinth.
That's right, a labyrinth of massive walls is rising.
"Follow me and don't fall behind." Natsuki reached out and grabbed Tom to make sure the two were together.
Tom stiffened for a moment and was a little nervous, but finally looked at the walls that rose one after another, and even squeezed towards Natsuki's side in order not to be separated from Natsuki.
In this way, an underground labyrinth appeared out of thin air, and the walls of the labyrinth were also covered with green fluorescent plants, illuminating everything in detail.
Natsuki also tried attacking the wall, and found that the wall was reinforced at the level of the law, and although it didn't look thick, it couldn't be opened at all.
I have to say that it is worthy of the game world, and it can be set so much.
It's as if this labyrinth is only seven or eight meters high, and with Natsuki's level of ability, it is possible to climb the wall and cross it, but under the suppression of the law, it is impossible to climb at all.
So after trying several methods, Natsuki could only admit that if he wanted to get out of this maze, he could only rely on walking.
"It seems that you can't take advantage of it! Let's go. Natsuki patted the dust on his hands that didn't exist.
"Millennium-san, where are we going?" Tom immediately grabbed the corner of Natsuki's coat again and asked.
"Where to go, you can only go anywhere! On the one hand, he acts as a prey, and on the other hand, he acts as a hunter. Natsuki said.
"Hunt, prey and hunter?" Tom was a little nervous by Natsuki's statement.
"Yes, listen, it's already started." Natsuki gestured.
Sure enough, Tom heard a scream not far away.
Natsuki took Tom two steps in that direction, just in time to see a group of orcs trapped in a maze attack on a hapless lone player, smashing that player into a pulp with a sledgehammer.
Immediately, the orcs saw Natsuki and Tom and immediately rushed up again.
"Millennium San, you, you can get rid of them, right?" Tom asked nervously.
"Don't worry, with me, we're hunters, so don't worry about prey." Natsuki said with a smile.
The next moment, he had already swung his sword to meet him.
The footsteps passed lightly between the orcs, and the long sword in his hand kept slashing through the orc's body one by one.
When Natsuki passed through the entire team of orcs at a very fast speed, a blood line slowly appeared on the neck of the orc at the front.
Then it was like a chain reaction, blood lines appeared on the bodies of the orcs, and Natsuki actually swung out an unknown number of swords at that moment, slashing the orcs one by one.
Plop and plop, accompanied by the fall of the orcs one by one, and blood stained the labyrinth passages.
"Ah, this, this." Tom looked at Natsuki with some fear and some adoration as he watched this terrifying scene.
Natsuki, on the other hand, looked at the fleshy bodies of the players who had just died, and looked at the corpses of these orcs that had not been refreshed.
"It's not refreshing, do you want to use this sensory stimulation to stimulate the guinea pig? However, it has to be said that it is still somewhat useful to do so. Natsuki looked at Tom who didn't dare to come over because of the corpses of the orcs not far away, and he muttered to himself.
Natsuki then walked towards Tom.
"Don't worry, it's just game data, and it won't be there for a while." Natsuki came to Tom's side and reminded him.
"I, I know, I'm just a little unused to it, and I'll get better soon." Tom quickly raised his head and signaled that he was absolutely unintimidated.
It's just that he doesn't dare to look at the orc's corpse.
