In desperation, Li Ben walked to the strong-looking minotaur in the blacksmith shop and said politely, "Hello." ”

The minotaur really didn't disappoint him, and said without humility or arrogance: "Hello, do you need anything?"

"It's my first time here, why do they look scared of me?"

"For you, as a lord, it is right to show respect. ”

"Lord? ？”

"The lord is our name for a strong man with strength, and if he is stronger than the lord, we call him king. ”

"Stronger than the king?"

"Destruction. Why didn't the guy who recommended you here tell you this?"

"Uh... He died, and he told me that there was such a place, and he didn't have time to say anything else. "Lee Ben made up a lame lie.

The minotaur didn't care, as if he believed it, and he said, "Then it's no wonder, do you have anything of value in you? If you are willing to give something, I can solve many problems for you, such as shelter and food." ”

Li Ben thought about it, he seemed to be really poor, and he couldn't come up with anything, so what was his actions like in the eyes of the other party?

He then took the bow he had obtained from the lizardman from behind his back to see how the other man reacted.

"Lizardman bow, this thing is worthless, I have something a hundred times better than it, why are you collecting this?"

"What did you think of me, what did I do?"

The minotaur looked at him suspiciously, but said, "Didn't you just bend your wings and use your feathers to pull a bow from under the hair behind your back?"

What kind of operation is this, wouldn't he be surprised?

"Won't you be surprised?"

"What's so strange about this, the big guy has more ways to hide things, look at me. ”

With that, the minotaur opened his mouth and spat out a crossbow and a quiver wrapped in several short arrows.

Li Ben was dumbfounded.

"The nezumi you scared away just now, he's an acrobat who can pull a sword out of the back of his ass. ”

"I'm really lonely..."

After learning about the strangeness of this place, Li Ben did not hide it, and took out a steel sword from behind his back that had not been used for a long time to show the minotaur.

"Hmm... A human steel sword... There are some points worth referring to in the production process, which are somewhat useful to me, but not enough for me to help you a lot. Well, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me, and I'll tell you a place to get the treasure, and many people in the city will go to that place to steal the treasure. ”

"I want to hear about it. ”

After some exchange, Li Ben learned that it was a black dragon's lair, but now the black dragon seemed to be sleeping, so there were many bold guys who went to pick up leaks around the lair. Because every small movement of the sleeping black dragon will sweep a lot of treasure out of the nest.

As for those who entered the inside of the black dragon's lair, there is no example of anyone returning alive.

After knowing this, Li Ben did not forget to ask the most crucial question - how to return to the surface world?

The minotaur said, "You can go back as you come here, well, the terrain here is really complicated, if you forget it, you can go to the guards to ask, they know everything about this place, and I have always lived here, I haven't been out much, so I don't know." ”

Next, Li Ben learned in detail about the tavern, the city lord, the army, the temple, and a series of other things, and all of them asked the minotaur impatiently before leaving obediently.

Sure enough, the establishment of this place has a lot to do with the mysterious ball of light, the temple does not worship those gods in human culture, they worship the ball of light itself.

As for the establishment of the city, I heard that it has a history of more than 100 years.

When studying the history of human beings in this world, I did understand the social nature of highly intelligent chaotic creatures. But most of them are scattered like tribes, and only the elves, dwarves and mountain tribes who can build cities have heard of them, and these orcs in front of them, who are extremely aggressive in the outside world, are not able to establish a high-order city in terms of wisdom and habits.

The ruler of this place lives in a palace-like tower, and the minotaur calls him the king, and if the crow belongs to the fifth level and is the lord according to the hierarchy of humans, then the king should be the sixth level of chaos creatures, and belongs to the same level as the Flamin, the earth dragon, and the meat ape he has seen.

If this conjecture was correct, as soon as he thought of the battle between the earth dragon and the meat ape, Li Ben knew that the city lord was not an existence that he could deal with. But since he had come to this place, and it was still safe, he was not in a hurry to leave.

Even if you return to the surface and continue at this momentum, the probability of finding the Rafflesia by yourself is too low, and even if you can find it, it is estimated that it will take a lot of time, and that is not the result you want.

If you can get through the taverns in the city and let those monsters find them for you, it should be much more efficient.

But in order to post a quest bounty, you have to go to the vicinity of the black dragon's lair that the minotaur said, hoping to find something valuable. As for the option to go to the arena, it was directly passed, and in any case, it was too suspicious for a crow to fight with a long sword.

The way from this treasure city to the black dragon's lair was still deeper underground, and Li Ben came to that place after passing the ready-made path that the monsters had carved before.

Chaos Erosion: 30%.

The cavity of the underground in this place is no less spacious than that of the Treasure City. If it weren't for the Black Dragons making their home here, the monsters would have built another city here.

The Black Dragon's Chaos Level is six, and this underground space can be said to be its territory. However, in fact, its real residence, that is, the place where it hid the treasures it had collected, was in another deep cavern more than fifty meters high from the bottom of the hollow, which could be seen from a distance.

And in Li Ben's hunter's perspective, the chaos erosion degree of that cave was already high to more than 30%.

There are many torches scattered here for lighting, and of course, there are also lighting tools in hand when you come to hunt for treasures.

"There are quite a few guys who come here to pick up leaks. ”

Although the rocky terrain of the underground cavity is undulating, the drop is not large, and Li Ben can see a monster on average walking a hundred meters, and according to this density, there are at least more than a thousand. Most of them are Chaos level 3 creatures, and occasionally they have seen level 4 creatures, and as for the same lord-level creatures as themselves, they have not yet been found.

The low-level monsters obediently avoided as soon as they saw Li Ben, and the fourth-level creatures remained in a wait-and-see state.

"Won't there be a conflict between them?" Because according to the Minotaur that the vicinity of the black dragon's lair could be fought at will, Li Ben wondered why these guys were so tacitly abiding by the peace together.

Maybe it's because no treasure has been found yet. He guessed.

Soon after, the air underground began to vibrate, thunderous snoring echoed through the hollow, and all the monsters set their eyes on the treasure trove of the black dragon.

"Roar!!

There was a violent roar from inside the black dragon's lair, and the pressure brought by this sound made Li Ben's whole body tense, and most of those low-level monsters were lying on the ground, and some were even directly frightened and fainted.

And with the roaring wind pressure was a large swarm object thrown from the mouth of the nest. A lot of gold nuggets were scattered on the ground and between the crevices of the rocks.

The monsters began to scramble and pick up, and some skirmishes broke out.

"It seems that gold is hard currency everywhere. In line with the principle of not taking for nothing, Li Ben also picked up nearly a kilogram of gold, some gold nuggets and some gold coins.

The other monsters didn't dare to approach him at all, and even took the initiative to avoid him when they saw him coming. It's a lot easier to deal with intelligent creatures, after all, smart people are more afraid of death.

Of course, the treasures collected by the black dragon are not only gold coins, but also some things with chaotic energy are the focus of all the creatures present.

"Stop, damn the wreck!" a one-eyed ogre was chasing another dwarf rat-man with a large mallet.

Coincidentally, the rat man was the one who was scared by Li Ben before, and what was even more coincidental was that he was incarnated as a crow monster in front of him on the way from which the rat man came.

At a glance, Li Ben saw that the rat was holding a purple gem in his mouth, and the chaotic energy was abundant in it.

Naturally, the mouse monster also saw him, but the ogre behind it chased very closely, and if he changed lanes, he would inevitably be caught by the ogre.

Li Ben didn't deliberately get out of the way, but the rat-man simply stopped in front of him, threw the gem on the ground, and hid behind him, looking at the ogre with a mouse's eyebrows.

The ogre also stopped, staring at him nervously. Judging from its hesitant appearance, it was obvious that it was reluctant to give up the gem, but it did not dare to step forward due to the powerful aura of the crow monster.

Li Ben picked up the gem and put it away. There's no reason not to want something good to be delivered to your door.

Seeing this, the one-eyed ogre roared angrily at the rat-man, but since the rat-man was hiding behind Leeben, this sound could be seen as a provocation to him.

All the monsters around noticed the situation here.

It's not good, they look at it, and if they don't do anything, they are likely to be seen as weak and bullied. Li Ben used the logic of the beast to make a judgment.

Do you want to use a victim?

After a short thought, he no longer hesitated, and rushed towards the ogre, not taking out the victim, but deciding to fight the fourth-level chaos creature with his bare hands.

The ogre was also aroused by the blood, and in his logic, he had no room to escape.

Li Ben tried to connect with the mask again, and if he could use the stealth ability, he would have a great advantage in facing the one-eyed ogre who didn't have very good eyesight in such an environment where the light was not so abundant.

It's successful, and the stealth ability is still available.

When it comes to fighting monsters, speed and strength are key.

In the ogre's perspective, he waits for it, but the crow in his field of vision suddenly disappears, leaving him at a loss for a moment. Immediately afterward, it was dark in front of his eyes, and a sharp pain came from his face.

Li Ben put his palms together into a knife and stabbed him in one eye.

Between the chaos creatures, each level difference should be a world of difference in strength, and if they are too embarrassed in the battle with the ogre, they may also be questioned about their strength.

However, it is clear that ordinary physical damage is not enough to kill a level 4 chaos creature.

"Roar!" the ogre roared, his eyes instantly reborn.

"Tsk!" Li Ben smacked his lips. Once the chaotic energy reaches the level 4 standard, rapid rebirth becomes a basic ability that all monsters have, and this is the case with the she-werewolf who originally killed Li Ben.

The ogre swung a big stick and pulled out a large circle, and the head of the stick grazed Li Ben's chest, causing him to feel strong fluctuations in the air current.

But now that your stealth ability can be reactivated...

He immediately drew his scarlet sword, severing the ogre's feet and hands in three seconds, and the damage inflicted by his victims greatly reduced his ability to recover.

Once he had done this, the hunter instantly put away his sword, revealing his body, and cracked the ogre's head with a double-peaked punch.

The ogre, who had turned into a stick, fell to the ground and twitched, and then stopped moving.

All this was in the eyes of the other monsters, the crow monster suddenly disappeared, and then the ogre's limbs were inexplicably broken, and then the manifested strange bird was stabbed in the face with its wings and declared dead, the whole process was simple and neat.

No one dared to doubt the crow's strength anymore.

Li Ben turned his gaze to the rat man at this time, he was about to run away, but Li Ben was already prepared, and stepped on his tail with one foot, making him scream.

The rat-man turned around, exposing his belly and pretending to be dead motionless, but the large dampness of the fabric on his lower body betrayed him, and the fishy smell coming from it made Li Ben frown.

"If you play dead again, you're going to be really dead. ”

"Oh, I'm not dead, I'm not dead!" the rat-man came to life as soon as he heard this.

"Are you familiar with Treasure City?"

"Familiar, familiar!"

"I'll give you a chance to go to the tavern for me and post a quest for me, and find me a place to stay. Li Ben grabbed a handful of gold coins and threw them to him, "These are for you to do things." ”

He then described in detail the characteristics of Rafflesia.

"You want this, don't you?" he took out the purple gem to tempt the rat-man, "I'll get things done for me, it's yours." ”

The Rat Man was clearly impressed, and his eagerness was evident in the fact that he risked his life to fight the one-eyed ogre for the gem.

Of course, no matter what, the rat people had no room to refuse Li Ben.

"Got it! I'll do it for my lords!"

"Your verbal assurances didn't work. Li Ben exerted force on his feet, and the rat man grinned in pain.

"I swear! I swear to death! I will complete the task that my lord has commanded!"

"Good. ”

From the rat-man's answer, he knew that the power of the gods was not only effective for humans.

Li Ben didn't stay in this place for long, the black dragon himself would definitely not be able to provoke, and the other monsters didn't bother to grab the things they picked up, if they grabbed too much and were besieged by a group, it would be counterproductive.

After returning to the city of the monsters, he hid in the hut where the rat-men were looking for him.

Li Ben's idea is very simple, wait until Rafflesia is found, take his things and leave, before that, he should try to avoid contact with the monsters, so as not to expose the fact that he is a human. After all, the previous cloaking function of the Raven Mask failed once, and the ability to transform into a Raven Monster may not be able to function one day.

However, just a day later, the rat man came with the news about Rafflesia, saying that a devil goat had found the thing and wanted to negotiate with Li Ben about the payment.

So they met.

The Devil Goat is a fourth-level chaos creature with slender white hair, but the goat's head is blood-red, its eyes are pure black without whites, and its teeth are sharp, which is not at all what a herbivore should be.

The goat took out the Rafflesia first, and Li Ben sensed that the chaotic energy in it was indeed rich enough, and the appearance characteristics were the same as those described on the parchment.

Li Ben took out all the gold coins on his body to exchange them, but he didn't expect the devil goat to refuse.

He said, "I don't need gold, I need humans, I want their blood to evolve myself, at least as much as a wine bottle." ”

"Do you think this will work?" Li Ben secretly pricked his finger and squeezed a drop of blood for him to taste, because he was not sure if his apparently mutated blood met his needs.

Unexpectedly, the goat became extremely excited after tasting it, and he said, "This is amazing! I can feel the power it gives me, and my soul can be sublimated by it, and there is no problem in exchanging it." ”

"But I don't have a lot. Li Ben didn't want to put too much blood on himself, so he tried to bargain.

"Half a bottle! half a bottle is enough!"

"Deal, you wait a minute. ”

So Li Ben returned to his house and put half a bottle of blood in exchange for Rafflesia.

The devil goat happily took his blood and left, leaving only the rat-man to look at him.

Since Li Ben had not sworn to the gods at all, he could have ignored the rat-man at all, and the rat-man himself understood this, but still greedily longed for the purple gem.

Li Ben took the gem in his hand and asked, "If you get it, will you be able to evolve?"

"Yes, sir. The rat-man replied honestly.

There is no doubt that if you really give him something, you will be considered an enemy... But what does that have to do with me? Since there is no place for me in the human world, why should I do my best to it? If you want to talk about the enemy, you have already done it when you sold that steel sword.

"Okay. "Li Ben threw the gem to the rat man, he was able to do so simply because he had already studied the gem, and the chaotic energy contained in it was useless to him.

"Thank you, sir!" the rat monster looked a little incredulous as it took the gem.

"You can go. ”

It's time for me to go, too. Li Ben said to himself.

The rat-man looked around like a thief, clutched the gem and ran away.

Next, Li Ben walked down the street, found the patrolling guards, and said that he wanted to go to the surface world.

"Please register at the registration office next to the temple at the city gate, and someone will take you up. ”

Li Ben did as he was told, and just as he was about to go on the road after completing the formalities, the entire underground world suddenly began to shake violently.

The ground shook, and cracks began to appear in the rock formations.
