The rooftops and walls resembling the bark of large trees have gradually lost their original form from the edge of the 24th floor of Rieg and his party.

The northern edge of the 24th floor is different from the center of the labyrinth, and the ceiling, walls, and floors gradually develop rock-like uneven structures, and the color changes from brown and green to pale red, making the surrounding environment look like a cavern rather than a forest.

This is because there is a grain bank nearby.

Although there may be some discrepancies, the food depot in the dungeon is basically a cave structure, and there is a large quartz-like rock pillar in the deepest part, and the quartz pillar will ooze a liquid with particularly high nutritional value, and the monsters rely on drinking it to fill their stomachs and replenish energy and nutrition.

In order to form a granary and a large cavity with towering quartz columns, the dungeon will change the environment of the maze to suit their existence, so that no matter which floor it is, the closer to the granary, the more suitable the environment near the maze will be for the environment of the large cavity.

Therefore, the change in the surrounding environment, which is not a bad thing, proves that Riege and his party are approaching the grain depot, or about to arrive at the grain depot.

But no one thought that before arriving at the grain depot, the scene that appeared in front of their eyes would be so terrifying.

“…… What is it? ”

Asphie's voice became hoarse at some point.

The rest of the Homis clan was similarly impartial, either stunned or stunned, and all fell into a state of difficulty in speaking.

Rig and Ace also glanced at each other, one with a twinkle in his eyes, the other with a surprise that others could not detect.

The scene in front of everyone is so flawing.

On closer inspection, on the way to the grain store, a huge wall appeared.

The wall closed the entire road, creating a dead end, keeping everyone who arrived at it.

However, this wall still has a creepy appearance.

Its surface is swollen and resembles a green wall of flesh, which is different in structure and nature from the surrounding stone walls, and is clearly not something that appeared here in the first place.

It was blocked in front of everyone like this, and at the same time, it squirmed lightly from time to time, looking like a living creature, and like a plant with quite active vitality, which reminded Li Ge of the environment inside the underground demonic beast Yarakulon.

"Swollen, tumor......?"

The canine girl, who belonged to the Homis family, timidly uttered such an adjective, in exchange for the action of everyone nodding their heads in unison.

The appearance of the flesh wall really looks like a tumor growing in the dungeon, which is very disgusting.

“…… Is there such a thing in front of the grain bank on the 24th floor? ”

"I don't know......"

"I haven't been to the 24th floor of the grain storehouse."

"There's no mention of this here!"

The people of the Homis clan began to talk one after another, and a slight look of unease appeared on everyone's face, apparently shocked by the disgusting appearance of the wall.

Not to mention these second-level adventurers of the Homis family, even Ace, who is a first-level adventurer and has even been to the depths of the dungeon countless times, also frowned a little.

“…… Never seen anything like this in a dungeon. ”

Ace made such an observation.

"It stinks."

Li Ge was much calmer than the others, and was not frightened by the terrifying appearance, and even wanted to go in and investigate, but when he was close to the flesh wall, he smelled a pungent stench, which made his brows furrow, and he stopped directly, not daring to retreat flatteringly.

"It does stink!"

"Didn't even notice ...... just now"

"Hmm...... It smells so pungent......"

Attracted by Lige's words, the orcs, who were no longer as shocked as they were just now, suddenly smelled a pungent smell, causing the members of the Homis clan such as the Tiger Man Warrior and the Dog Man Girl to wail and pinch their noses and retreat again and again.

For the orcs with an unusually sensitive sense of smell, this pungent smell was no different from that of biological weapons, which made some people's faces turn blue and white.

"It looks like it stencils, right?"

Asfield boldly approached, and after smelling the smell, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind.

"It seems that the reason why the monsters on the 24th floor will increase dramatically is probably because of this."

Asphie seemed to understand something and said something like this.

"What?"

Everyone was stunned and looked at Asfei.

At this time, Li Ge also spoke lightly.

"The monsters on the 24th floor are basically living creatures, and they all need to eat, that is, they need to go to the food depot to replenish."

"But if the grain depot is blocked like this by a wall of meat that doesn't know when it appeared, the monsters will naturally not be able to enter the food bureau and absorb the nutrients they need to survive."

"In this way, the monsters that come here can only wander in front of the flesh wall, and continue to accumulate numbers, until when the hunger is unbearable, the large number of monsters gathered here will start to run out of control."

Riege's statement made everyone feel like they had been empowered, and they suddenly came to their senses.

"That's right." Asfei also affirmed Riege's statement, glanced at him, and said: "The monsters who came to the north of this grain depot can't enter the food depot, and when they can't stand the hunger, they either kill each other on the spot and devour each other, or they go out of control and attack the adventurers who are exploring this level, hunting the adventurers as food, and some will also go to the two remaining food depots on the 24th floor, causing the phenomenon of monsters moving en masse." ”

"Therefore, the phenomenon of the explosion of monsters on the 24th floor is the collective migration and rampage of monsters who can't enter the food storehouse."

"They didn't increase out of thin air, but the monsters that wandered around on the 24th floor in search of food gathered together."

That's why the monsters have skyrocketed.

Who made the 24th floor of the grain bank only three?

The monsters who went to the north of the food depot were turned away, so naturally they either accumulated on the spot or chose to go to the other two food depots, resulting in a large number of monsters taking the same route, forming a large collective, which also indirectly caused the number of monsters to skyrocket.

Adventurers roaming this level were unfortunate enough to encounter this situation, and were attacked by an army of hungry monsters, resulting in a large number of casualties.

"The 30th floor, which has been in the same situation, is it also ......... because of this?"

Ace looked at Rige.

"That's the only way to go."

Rig nodded at Ace and told her that the culprit of everything must be the wall of flesh in front of her.

"So what do we do now?" The canine girl raised her hand and asked, "Now that the cause of the monster surge has been investigated, is it considered that the commission has been completed?" ”

"What do you think?" Asfei said angrily: "The content of the commission is to investigate the cause of the explosion of monsters and solve it, we only know the cause now, and we haven't solved this situation yet." ”

"Then just destroy this wall, right?" The Lilliputian mage also raised his hand and said, "As long as this wall is destroyed, the monsters will no longer be blocked here, and the monsters will no longer explode or migrate, right?" ”

"The question is, how did this wall come about?" Asfi frowned, as if talking to herself, and muttered, "Could it be that the dungeon generated itself?" But that doesn't make sense, does it? ”

The reason why the food depot in the dungeon exists is so that the monsters will not starve to death after they are born.

If such a dungeon will also generate a wall blocking the way to the food store, then why will the dungeon also generate a food store?

"This must not be a spontaneous act of the dungeon, but a real anomaly." Asfei came to such a conclusion and said calmly: "This wall is most likely the result of human interference. ”

The members of the Homeis clan fell silent for a moment.

On the side, Ace remembered the words of the mysterious magician.

The other party also said that the incident was most likely man-made, as evidenced by the killing of members of the Ganesha clan in the town of Rivera on the 18th floor.

For some purpose, someone created this wall of meat in front of the food depot on the 24th and 30th floors, which led to the emergence of a monster explosion.

When this unusual situation happened to the food depot on the 30th floor, the slain members of the Ganesha clan entered the granary and took something inside, which eventually provoked the follow-up of the mastermind behind the scenes, leading to murder, and was killed in the town of Rivera on the 18th floor.

In this case, the mysterious item found from the grain depot on the 30th floor that led to the murder of the members of the Ganesha clan is also in front of this?

“…………”

For some reason, Ace suddenly felt uncomfortable.

It was as if a thorn had suddenly pierced into her flesh, and her blood stirred slightly, making Ace feel inexplicably uneasy.

It's ...... What's there, exactly?

Ace found that the more she thought about it, the more inexplicably uneasy and uncomfortable she felt in her heart.

"Ace."

Suddenly, Ace felt her hand being grabbed.

The person who took Ace's hand was none other than Rige.

Rig looked straight at herself, and to Ace's surprise, she didn't know when she was walking in the direction of the flesh wall, and her hand was on the hilt of the sword of despair that hung from her waist.

"[Sword Princess], what's wrong with you?" Asfei came forward with the members of her family, looked at Ace in surprise, and said, "Why did you suddenly put on a terrible expression, approaching that wall of flesh alone?" ”

Hearing this, Ace's face became incredulous.

“…… Is my expression scary? ”

Ace looked at Rige.

"Hmm." Rieg nodded, still looking straight at Ace, and said truthfully: "It's like seeing something incompatible, if I hadn't stopped her, you should have been able to draw your sword and cut down that wall of flesh, and rush into the grain warehouse behind the wall alone." ”

The people around him nodded their heads in agreement.

Ace didn't know what to say for a moment.

Looking at Ace like this, Li Ge was silent for a while, and then said.

"Let's go in and have a look."

Rieg said calmly.

"Are you okay?" Asfi didn't object, but she didn't directly agree, but asked, "This is an abnormal situation that doesn't exist in the dungeon, I don't know what will happen." ”

"It's precisely because of this that you should go in, otherwise wouldn't you be unclear about everything?" Li Ge said lightly: "Or, Ace and I will go in by ourselves, and you can wait here." ”

“…… Let's go in together. Asfei was silent for a while, and then said, "Since the content of the commission is to solve this situation, we really can't solve anything if we don't go in." ”

"And how do we get in?" The canine girl immediately raised her hand again and asked, "Do you want to break this disgusting wall of flesh?" ”

Hearing this, Ace reflexively wanted to hold the sword.

"I'll do it anyway."

Rig took Ace's hand and shook his head at her.

"It's faster to use magic."

As he spoke, Rig stretched out his hand towards the wall of flesh.

"[Fireball]."

In a short chant, the magic kicked off without anyone reacting.

"Boom!"

A huge fireball suddenly formed in front of the fingertips of Rig's outstretched fingers, emitting heat while illuminating the entire passage, and shot out with a bang, hitting the wall of flesh.

The loud explosion and the blast of flames suddenly appeared on the flesh wall, setting off layers of fire.

The walls of flesh burned and gradually turned to ashes before everyone's eyes.

Seeing this scene, everyone, including Ace, opened their eyes wide.

"Just, just that magic ......!"

Asfield was stunned.

"No chanting......

Ace was also moved.

"There is no need for chanting...... Magic? ”

The members of the Homis clan were also shocked.

What do they see?

The magic cast by Rieg was activated without chanting a chant, with just a magic name!

This is......

"No chanting magic?"

Asphai spat out such a sentence in a daze.

Everyone's attention suddenly turned away from the abnormal situation in front of them, either in shock or surprise as they looked at Rig who withdrew his finger.

Especially Ace, the inexplicable uneasiness in her heart was suddenly blown away by the magic displayed by Riege.

…… When?

When did Rig learn such magic?

The female swordsman, who thought she knew something about Rieger, was also at a loss.

"Let's go."

As if he had done something insignificant, as if he didn't know what he had done, he spoke in a calm tone, and walked ahead of the way, into the wall of flesh that was gradually being burned out.

Everyone look at me, I look at you, and after looking at each other for a while, they immediately followed Rig and walked into the interior of the wall of flesh that had been reduced to ashes.

From the ceiling, a pale flower blooming silently looked down on the scene.

So, on the other side of the flower, a pair of eyes slowly opened.
