Chapter 15: The Mystery of the Cave
Elite Monsters? Ma Le was slightly stunned, didn't that mean that it was a monster that ordinary elite-level could barely deal with? On the same level as the heroes in the Battle of the Ruins? Is it really that strong? There are hundreds of such powerful things, and he actually ignored them just now?
Ma Le, who was a little unbeliever, sent out the perceptual realm again, this time with a much smaller range, focusing on scanning the tribe in front of him. Nope...... Not only are there no so-called three hundred monsters, but even the powerful monster that you just felt is gone?
Did something happen?
Ma Le didn't care about explaining, he rushed out directly, and without running two steps, he started his super speed and disappeared in front of everyone.
"Eh, why did this guy leave the team without permission?" Shi Fenming shouted, Ma Le walked quietly, the speed was too fast and he couldn't see clearly, he only felt that this senior ran out of the team and disappeared, and thought that he had launched some teleportation skills.
Immediately, other elite-level people complained: "This senior level doesn't know how thick the sky is, let him go, he deserves to die!" ”
But Shi Fenming is still kind-hearted: "After all, he has no experience, everyone speed up and chase him back, see that he is quite flexible, maybe we can take it after retreating!" ”
The guide said so, and everyone could only take out their weapons and enter the battle state and drive towards the tribe of the Bloodblade Trolls, but the closer they walked, the more they could smell a pungent smell of blood. According to the reports of Shikigami and the summoned creatures, there are a large number of corpses of Bloodblade Trolls in the tribe ahead!
Shi Fenming realized that something was wrong, and immediately ordered everyone to be on strict guard and speed up. A few kilometers of travel was not a problem for both veteran and elite adventurers, and in a moment they arrived at the troll's camp.
Sure enough, the huge corpses of the trolls were all over the ground, and what was even more surprising was that all of these monsters were killed by slashing their throats! Trolls are known for their powerful recovery abilities, and can kill with a single sword, the depth of which can be imagined, not only severing the tracheal artery, but also almost cutting off the cervical vertebrae, some even have only a thin layer of skin, and some heads have been cut off altogether.
The whole camp was full of blood, attracting a large number of mosquitoes, flies and parasites, everyone covered their noses, continued to move forward, and finally saw Ma Le in the depths of the camp.
Ma Le was standing in front of a huge chair made of animal bones, and judging by the size of the chair, even the Blood Edge Trolls were too big to sit on, and it should be the chief's seat.
However, at this time, the troll chief had turned into a headless corpse and collapsed next to the chair. It still held a huge scythe that had been split in two - it was the weapon that the Bloodblade Chief was most proud of, and if it could be used in the system, it would also be a golden-quality weapon, but now, it had been rudely destroyed.
And in the chief's seat, there stood a man with a yin and yang head, who was the sentinel who had left to work alone. He was an ordinary person, standing on the throne of the troll chieftain, as if he was standing on a big bed, looking at the indescribable disobedience.
"You can actually capture my movements, you guy's not simple!" The sentry sneered condescendingly, but Ma Le didn't care, raised his hand and pointed at the dead troll chief, and asked curiously, "What about that guy's strength?" ”
The sentry was slightly stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect this senior to ask such an inconsequential question, and agreed casually: "It's the strongest in this forest!" ”
Ma Le nodded: "What about the whole maze?" ”
Hearing this innocent question, the sentry was stunned, and then burst out laughing: "The whole maze? Do you know how big this cave is? Do you know how many monsters there are? ”
Ma Le shook his head: "I don't know, I just don't know to ask you, what level is this troll among the monsters in the cave?" ”
It turned out that he met a stunned young man with good strength, and the sentry let down his guard against Ma Le: "Let's put it this way, have you ever played an online game?" This guy is indeed a boss, but at best he is a boss of a novice village, so you get the idea? ”
Ma Le's eyes lit up: "In other words, in the depths of the maze, there are more and stronger monsters?" ”
"That's nature! But boy, I advise you, don't be too confident in your own strength, just follow that Shi Ming and honestly get some benefits, that guy is a well-known good man, and he won't treat you badly! After saying that, this guy waved his trench coat and disappeared into the air, leaving only one sentence: "Don't follow me anymore......"
Ma Le nodded, Xindao This guy's concealment methods are quite powerful, just scanning from a distance, he didn't even notice his existence, and now that he is so close, he can only vaguely feel the direction he left, he is indeed an assassination master!
At this time, Shi Fenming rushed over with someone: "Little brother, it's okay, you can run fast enough!" ”
"It's nothing, thank you Brother Shi for your concern!" Ma Le hehe: "It was that sentry who treated me as an enemy who was following him and gave me a ......"
"What?" Shi Fenming was taken aback: "The sentry gave you a knife?" You...... Is it a human or a ghost? ”
Ma Le shrugged his shoulders: "I dodged it!" ”
Shi Fenming looked up and down: "I can't see it, little brother, you are five big and three thick, and you are actually a master of the agility department?" Do you know, that sentry can be said to be the number one assassin of our Miracle City elite, except for the champion-level Nether Tyrant, no one can beat him in assassination, you can dodge his sword, you are extraordinary! ”
Ma Le said in his heart that I can dodge the knife of the tyrant, how old is he? However, he was more concerned about what the sentry said when he left: "Speaking of which, Brother Shi, is this Blood Edge troll really a monster that can't be ranked in the maze?" ”
Shi Fenming sighed: "If you have to compare with those old monsters in the depths, it's really nothing, but if the maze is all that kind of old monsters, let alone the elite level, the champion level will not have the life to go back!" So, if we can handle this level, we can earn it! As he spoke, he hurriedly instructed the team members: "Everyone hurry up and clean up, the sentinels have killed hundreds of trolls, and they will definitely not take away every box, and those that are left behind will be cleaned up, let's divide them evenly!" ”
The adventurers started to clean up, but Ma Le looked into the distance: "Then Brother Shi, where is the depth in this maze?" ”
Shi Fenming was slightly stunned: "This is actually quite complicated, in general, there must be low-difficulty areas near the exits, but in the sixty city-states, there are a total of sixty exits, dotted around, low-difficulty areas are everywhere, the so-called deep high-difficulty areas, but the areas in the cracks, are very complicated, and there are no clear rules." For example, if you keep going east, you may walk and walk to the high-difficulty area, but you haven't walked a few kilometers, you may be close to the exit of other city-states, and you may enter the low-difficulty area, which is difficult to talk about......"
Ma Le frowned: "It's been so long, hasn't anyone drawn a map of the maze?" ”
Shi Fenming shook his head: "How can it be so easy?" For one, this maze is too big, and no one wants to put that effort into it; Second, the monsters in the cave are too powerful, even the champion level does not dare to rampage, and the difficulty of drawing a map is too high; Third, if you want to go through the labyrinth, you will inevitably have to pass through the areas of other city-states, which is easy to cause disputes; Fourth, and most importantly, this maze is not set in stone! ”
"Didn't you say it wouldn't change?" Ma Le asked curiously.
Shi Fenming waved his hand: "It's true that it won't change in the short term, but look at this Blood Blade Tribe, this time it was slaughtered cleanly, do you still expect these trolls to come back to life in the next cycle?" The maze is not a game.,The monster is killed or died.,It won't be brushed out again.,So as the adventurer enters again and again,,The monsters in the maze will become fewer and fewer.,After a long time,The system will change the venue.,Change to a new maze.,When the time comes,The experience accumulated before,The drawings drawn,It's useless! ”
"But don't worry, the three times I participated in Lao Shi before are the same as this time! My experience has been absolutely unmatched! As if he was afraid that Ma Le would lose confidence in himself, Shi Fenming immediately patted his chest and promised: "I heard from my predecessors, the general maze refresh cycle is about one year to one and a half years, do the math, it will be refreshed in a few months, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the next ......."
"Not a few months?" Ma Le's eyes rolled: "In other words, this maze has existed for almost a year, right?" ”
Shi Fenming nodded, and Ma Le continued: "In other words, there must be people in other city-states who are as experienced as you?" And you've been to the low-difficulty area at the entrance to other city-states? ”
"That's true...... Shi Fenming nodded, Ma Le laughed and patted Shi Fenming's shoulder: "Brother Shi, can you tell me everything you know now about the mystery of life and death?" ”
"Huh?" Shi Fenming was stunned for a moment, and Ma Le waved his hand: "Don't worry, I won't ask you for nothing, how about the intelligence fee according to the price of the Journalists' Association?" How about an A-level intelligence fee? ”
This information is almost outdated, and Shi Fenming doesn't know what Ma Le is doing when he buys it, but since the other party wants to buy it, he is also happy to make a lot of extra money, and the two of them traded directly.
Ma Le, who got the information, was very happy: "Brother Shi, thank you so much, if you encounter any trouble in the maze, just dial my number and be on call!" “
Shi Fenming said in his heart, aren't you in the team, what number is still being broadcast? But before he could ask in detail, Ma Le had already left to check the information.
I have to say that the information in Shi Fenming's hand is still quite weighty. He has three experiences, although because of his calm style, he did not go too deep, and his exploration of the maze is still the tip of the iceberg, but within the tip of the iceberg, he has made detailed records, laying a good intelligence foundation for the next entry.
