David exchanged glances with Hohenheim, who nodded, stood in the center of the crossroads, and unleashed a fireball spell at each of the three forks.

Three orange-red spheres of flame, flying slowly in different directions,

Hit the object almost at the same time, burst, and then extinguish.

The object that the fireball touches is also a wooden door, which is the same structure as the one the player just saw, but is smaller in size.

The three wooden doors were not completely sealed, and the fireball opened as soon as it was smashed, and behind the doors were three rooms with a huge area.

On the left is the forest (the vegetation is dead, and the ceiling is covered with a layer of withered moss, which may have been tested to have a luminescent function),

In the middle is an oriental courtyard with a pool,

On the right is the medieval village.

In addition to the different sizes and shapes of the three rooms, there are dried blood stains and battle marks on the floor, walls, and ceilings.

In addition to the other three walls of the entrance, there are also three wooden doors that open to three different rooms.

"The entire dungeon is composed of a large number of rooms that are different from each other, and each room has monsters and rewards, and the brave team needs to sweep through it room by room, and finally find the mission objective, get rewards, and get out of the dungeon.

In order to be able to play again, the entire dungeon and each room will also be reset every 24 hours, and the rooms and monsters will be rearranged and combined. ”

David returned to the crossroads and said softly, "In a video game, this is probably pretty ordinary dungeon game design.

But in the real world... It's pretty scary. ”

"To achieve a full reset on such a large scale, the amount of energy required is almost astronomical."

Hohenheim said lightly: "Unless, there is a magic circle with ingenious craftsmanship and extremely high energy utilization, which is responsible for maintaining the operation." ”

"But that circle should have been scrapped a long time ago."

Leon pushed open the wooden door in the middle and entered the Oriental courtyard room with a pool,

The water on the edge of the courtyard has not flowed for an unknown amount of time, and there is a layer of green algae and some sticky impurities floating on the surface, and through the turbid water, you can see some stones and pieces of wood lying below the surface of the water.

"The smell of corpses, up front."

Leon withdrew his finger from touching the surface of the water, stood up, and walked towards the farthest wooden door in the room in the Eastern Courtyard.

The crowd passed through several rooms, and the further they went, the stronger the rancid smell became.

After pushing open a wooden door with a gap, players finally find the source of the scent.

It was a vast room, and on all four walls of the room were the densest marks of animal claws, almost cutting through the walls.

In the middle of the room, there is a strangely shaped hillside - the bottom of the hillside is surrounded by a ring of turquoise water, and the surface of the hillside itself extends with a large amount of fluff.

Wait, those aren't fluff.

Hohenheim instantly stopped the release of the fireball spell and raised his arm sharply, stopping Ding Shinji's action of preparing to use the searchlight to illuminate the hillside ahead.

[Group dim vision]: Double the field of vision in a dim environment.

[Group Night Vision]: Improves vision in dark environments.

Hohenheim drank the potion and silently applied two layers of buff magic to everyone,

This kind of group buff spell is extremely expensive in a low-magic environment, and its duration and effect are greatly reduced, but it is enough for players to see the appearance of the mountain itself.

It's a mountain, made up of massive amounts of biological remains.

The materials of the mountain are fragmentary, and with the knowledge of players, they can barely identify that some of the wreckage belongs to the goblins, two-headed ogres, trolls, jackals and other conventional fantasy world view monsters.

The other part of the wreckage, like a monster pulled from the set of the video game "Sam the Hero" or "Dead Space", is extremely strange in itself, and after being turned into a severed limb, it is even more difficult to distinguish the difference.

What everyone thinks is the fluff on the surface of the mountain is actually the limbs of the wreckage and all kinds of blades.

The green body of water below the hillside is actually a large amount of blood in a confined environment.

The size of the mountain is so large that there is a kind of anomaly - the surface of the hillside is covered with a thick black fog that slowly rotates, forming cyclones around the surface limb trees.

The whole mountain shook slightly every few seconds, as if the mountain was alive.

At the very top of the mountain, there is a massive, burly shadow that resembles a silverback gorilla, which appears to be the source of the black fog.

The situation is special, and Li Ang quietly used the group heart connection technique again,

As soon as the spiritual network was formed,

Ding Zhenji whispered on the Internet: ["A huge demonic beast shrouded in shadows", is that thing on the top of the mountain the monster that the village chief said plundered the masonry of the gate of the holy mountain? 】

[Possibly, we'd better set it up in advance first...]

Hohenheim's voice did not fall,

The shadow that was entrenched at the top of the mountain suddenly raised its head,

In the dark fog, two eyes glowing with scarlet light stared at the players at the entrance of the room.

Whoop -

The huge shadow slowly straightened up,

The biological remains on the surface of the mountain slid down like an avalanche, splashing turquoise blood.

was discovered.

Hohenheim's face did not change, the gas under his feet flowed, and he slowly took off into the air, and with the help of sound amplification magic, he said loudly towards the shadow: "Hello, we are a team of brave people who have come to explore the dungeon..."

"Roar!!"

The Shadow Demon Beast raised its head and erupted into a fierce roar,

With a sturdy swing of his arm downward, the black gas that enveloped the room poured towards Hohenheim like a long dragon.

"Tsk, there's really no way to negotiate."

Hohenheim's expression was gloomy, just now he actually put a layer of spells on himself that temporarily increased his charm, as well as two buffs of [Enchanting Monsters] and [Enchanting Humans], which had a chance to convince ordinary monsters.

It's a pity that it didn't work against Shadow Beast.

This is also normal, after all, his own charm is limited, he has not added many attribute points, and he does not carry equipment items that can increase his charm.

Facing the black mist dragon, Hohenheim's figure flashed, and instantly flashed to the other end of the room.

While dodging the opponent's attack, the Book of Sand in his hand quickly turned the page, unleashing multiple attack spells in a single breath.

[Incineration], [Electric Explosion Orb], [Mochulian Light], [Stone Explosion]...

These spells have very different attributes, functions, projectiles, and forms of action.

Ordinary mages need to go through a lot of preparation links such as spell chanting, gestures, and spell casting materials before they can be successfully released.

With the help of the Book of Sand, a bell tower containment handed down from ancient times, Hohenheim can directly skip the lengthy spell casting pre-swing and instantly unleash multiple faction spells.

Rumble!

All kinds of spells bombarded the Black Mist Dragon, easily defeating it, and the residual momentum continued unabated, hitting the surface of the Shadow Demonic Beast's body.

In an instant, the flames burst, the thunder flashed, and the splashing effect of the spell attacks of different attributes smoothed out part of the wreckage on the surface of the mountain.

However, the main body of the black mist, the shadow beast in the shape of a hard-backed gorilla, received all the effects of all spells,

Raise both arms and press heavily on the surface of the mountain.

Buzz –

The cyclone on the surface of the mountain flowed rapidly,

The black mist that had just been defeated by Hohenheim instantly recondensed and suddenly bombarded Hohenheim.

The latter was caught off guard, and the light of the protective spell on his body flashed,

When the smoke cleared, he disappeared in place.

It's not just Hohenheim,

David and Ambery, who were standing at the forefront, were also attacked—black mist poured out from the mountains, walls, and ceilings, like a tidal wave, and swept the two of them.

Make it disappear like Hohenheim.

Li Ang's pupils suddenly, in his spiritual network, the signals of these three people disappeared almost instantly, without any waves.

This is...

didn't have time to think about it, and the black mist that solved David and Amberi roared, Leon pulled out the overlord bar lance and slammed it on the ground,

With the help of thrust, the whole person soars into the air, and then activates the [Tiyun Vertical] skill to create invisible steps under his feet, providing a point of borrowing.

Narrowly avoided the pitch-black mist.

"Don't be touched by this fog!"

Leon let out a low snort,

Liu Wuxi, who was standing behind, heard this, and the shoulder armor quietly folded, blooming like a bird's tail feathers, and fanning violently, providing upward thrust.

Ding Shinji's Kui Niu mecha also activated the vector nozzle thruster,

The heavy body is not as flexible as its body type, and it almost dodges the black fog.

Bang!

The Colt revolver pulled the trigger towards the Shadow Beast, and the silver Demon-Breaking Bullet spun at high speed, spanning a long distance, and swept over the top of the Shadow Beast's head—

The beast's entire body was shrouded in shadows, resulting in its actual size being much smaller than it looked, and the first bullet didn't do much damage.

After a shot, the other party seemed to know the power of the demon-breaking bullet, and chiseled his arms into the top of the mountain, and took out a broken shield like a city gate, as well as a rusty, exaggerated two-handed sword, and blocked it in front of him.

His feet stepped heavily on the mountain, and his whole body was like a meteor, wrapped in an extremely thick black mist, and fell diagonally downward.

And with weapons?

Without hesitation, Leon pulled the trigger of Colt's revolver and blasted out four demon-breaking bullets at the fastest speed.

All three silver bullets were bounced off, and only one hit the left arm of the Shadow Beast holding the shield through the gap in the broken shield, splashing scarlet blood.

But it's just a splash of blood.

In a breath, the shadow demonic beast with the silhouette of a gorilla had already fallen to the top of the mountain, swinging its two-handed giant sword and slashing at Li Ang's head.

The two-handed greatsword was obviously corroded by flesh and blood, and it had become rusty, but it was still able to slice through the air with a screech of pure brute force.

Rumble!!!

Li Ang stepped on the invisible staircase created by Tiyun Zong, dodged to the right, and barely avoided the simple and simple sword slash,

The left-handed Colt pistol finished aiming, and in the corner where the shield could not be covered, it fired the last demon-breaking bullet towards the neck of the shadow monster.

The silver warhead silently hit the target,

The flesh and blood of the Shadow Demonic Beast's neck was directly smashed and a large piece flew away.

"Roar!"

The monster roared in pain, and the black mist around it surged wildly, rolling wildly towards the remaining three players present from all directions, sealing all the paths of movement.

The black mist was formless and substantial, and it could be defeated by an energy attack like the [Ten Finger Dissociation Technique], but the total amount was too much—every brick and stone crack in this room was constantly spewing black mist outward, and it was inexhaustible.

In the spiritual network of the group heart connection technique, Li Ang said very quickly: [Hohenheim, David, and Ambery did not die, but came into contact with the black fog and were teleported to other corners of the underground palace by the black fog. This monster also has an instinct-based combat intelligence, and according to the energy level shown by each of us, it will give priority to teleporting away the enemies with the highest energy level and the most difficult ones, and then divide and break them. 】

Without invoking the divine power stored in the Divine Seal, Leon's total spiritual power can only be regarded as a medium level (the total spiritual power blessing provided by the Ripple Breathing Method and alchemy is not enough), in addition to the covering effect of the mirage red mane's coat,

made the Shadow Demon Beast mistakenly think that his overall strength was on the same level as Liu Wuxian and Ding Zhenji.

However, this also proves that the strength of this monster is not as high as imagined, at least not so high that it can crush the entire team of players.

The speed of mental interaction in the mental network is faster than that of real-world verbal communication.

Li Ang quickly said: [The body of this demonic beast, just now after eating Hohenheim's spell bombardment, nothing happened, the magic resistance is very strong, but the physical defense is relatively low, and high-level silver demon-breaking bullets can cause damage. If I close the distance, I'm confident that I can kill him. Now the only question is, Comrade Ding, will you shake your hand? 】

【？？？ 】

How serious Li Ang's tone was, how real Ding Zhenji's stunned mood was.

Fortunately, in the next moment, Ding Zhenji reflected,

He took a deep breath and immediately spun around so that the Kui Niu Mecha was facing the sweeping mist.

Two robotic arms hold the high-frequency cutting knife,

The information instructions transmitted from the cockpit are transmitted along the internal cables of the mecha to the inside of the high-frequency cutting knife.

The blades at both ends of the cutting knife are folded up and down to form the structure of the wind turbine fan blades.

Turn!

Kui Niu mecha rotated the handle in the middle of the high-frequency cutting knife with both hands,

The arms of the mecha, which embodies the cutting-edge technology of the Secret Service Bureau, are like rotor motors, rotating the high-frequency cutting knife like a helicopter propeller blade.

A howling wind was created, and the black fog that covered the sky was met head-on.

Whew-

The black fog that lingered was swept by the strong wind, and it was blown out of a gap.

The figures of Li Ang and Liu Wuxian jumped out of the cracks,

The latter pulled his bow like a full moon and shot thousands of golden arrows, blocking the body of the shadow demonic beast.

And the overlord horizontal lance in Li Ang's hand silently cut into the neck of the demonic beast that had just been hit by the demon-breaking bullet.
