Chapter 17: Dungeons
The Seatown Dungeon opened twenty years ago, and was previously estimated to be only seven stories deep, but it was later discovered that there was an eighth floor after the seventh.
In the tenth year, people cleared the bottom boss of the eighth layer and found that there was a ninth layer below.
Until this year, the adventure group made it to the tenth layer and discovered the Earth Dragon Secret Realm half a year ago.
At this time, how deep the city under the city of Zihai Town is, everyone can't say clearly.
However, after a number of professional institutions probed, they believed that the tenth floor should be the limit, and it was impossible for this place to have an eleventh floor dungeon.
Because once the floor is deep to the eleventh floor, the strength of the wild monsters will be raised to a new level, and it will be very difficult for even full-time adventurers to fight at that time.
Since these things are too far away from Simon, he will not mention them for the time being, and at the moment he will only pay attention to the law that the depth of the floor of the dungeon corresponds to the strength of the monster.
Theoretically, the deeper the floor, the stronger the monsters.
In the same way, the deeper the floor, the greater the value of the materials produced.
Simon's upcoming sixth layer theoretically corresponds to the monster in the middle of the trainee and the full-time strength.
Isn't that subtle?
Simon's sea of knowledge happened to have the form of the third star, but it couldn't be lit.
This is very similar to the positioning of the sixth layer, Simon is in a state of transition in the middle, lacking an inspiration or an introduction.
"In other words, you need to scream the geist to make an alchemy reagent medicine guide to guide you to promotion."
When the nun on the side heard this, she showed such a clear look.
On the way to the sixth floor, Simon took the time to explain why he went to the sixth floor.
In fact, it is okay for him not to say these reasons, the nun herself came because of personal worship, and the other came because of the reward, and did not care too much about Simon's purpose.
However, after Simon gave the reason, both of them had a clear goal to fight, and they felt more energetic and directional in the battle.
Their previous battles all have the same characteristics, fighting for a long-term goal that is too vague, and they can't see the progress after hard work, resulting in a lack of motivation in battle.
After hearing this, the little blind man had a confused expression on her face, obviously her head was not enough to understand this kind of thing.
"I haven't been to the sixth floor, so I don't know if I'm up to it...... I'll try, though! She tightened her grip on the steel sword and forced.
"Ah, the first floor has arrived." The nun suddenly stretched out her little hand and pointed forward.
As they spoke, the three of them made their way through the crowd and left the long staircase to the first floor of the dungeon.
The dim world suddenly became brighter, and when you looked up, you would see that the sky was very high, at least two or three hundred meters above the ground, and the ceiling was covered with all kinds of glowing hedron and plants.
The light they emitted was not as bright as the sun, but it was enough to illuminate the first floor of the dungeon as bright as day.
Here, the glowing crystals and plants on the ceiling glow periodically, about the same time as day and night on the ground.
When it's dark outside, the glowing crystals inside the dungeon will also dim, emitting only a faint glow, like the starry sky in the night.
It's still daytime, and the ceiling is as bright as day.
Underneath is green turf, the endless grassland rises and falls, and all kinds of small wild monsters are surrounded by the adventure group, killing like leeks, giving birth to waves and killing waves.
Note that the way the monsters are born here is not suddenly refreshed out of thin air like in online games.
Rather, it is through the reproductive method of asexual reproduction, which is born from the mother in piles and heaps.
Generally speaking, the mother has no attack power, and once the mother dies, it is equivalent to one less fertility machine.
Once these fertility machines are killed, the mobs on this level will not be born again, which is equivalent to the extermination of the wild monster resources on this level.
The same is true for the floors below, where there is a renewable resource area, there will be a mother body that is as productive as a sow.
Whoever can control this thing can use this continuous training method, or make it into materials and carry them to the ground for sale.
Here, the veteran adventure group deeply rooted in the dungeon has a status similar to that of a warlord, with military power and a monopoly business.
If your team doesn't have the strength, it's best not to think about fighting hard.
Of course, these veteran adventurers are not all fools, they clearly know the importance of leeks.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat.
No matter how strong the adventure group is, it can't withstand the offensive of the sea of people.
If all the resources are controlled by them, and the leeks are provoked, it will only cause an irresistible mass riot, so each floor has a public resource area set up by the major adventure groups.
In the public resource area, no adventure group is allowed to monopolize it with its strength, which is a way to survive for the scattered wild team.
At the same time, there are also resources that are slightly more valuable, but the collection process is complex, time-consuming and labor-intensive, even if the boundaries are not connected, they are also classified as public resources.
The screaming geist that Simon was looking for happened to be an enclave in the public resource area of the sixth level, and almost all of its surroundings were privately controlled by the Grand Adventure Party.
"Let's go." Simon pointed to a coachman parked on the edge of the prairie.
In the dungeon, if you want to go to the next floor, you either have to walk, pay to go through the expensive teleportation magic circle, or take a carriage.
It takes a long time to walk, if you don't consider the time to rest and sleep, it will theoretically take two days to walk the first floor, a day and a half to the second floor, a day to the third floor, a whole day to the fourth floor, and about a day to walk behind.
In fact, from the first layer to the sixth floor, plus the transition time of camping and resting, it is not impossible to walk for ten days and half a month.
It only takes a few seconds to walk through the magic circle, but the price is a thousand blue essence blocks, which is equivalent to half of the salary of an ordinary trainee adventurer.
It is much more economical to take a carriage, only one to a dozen fine blocks, depending on which floor you are on.
The process of riding the carriage is equivalent to running the map in the game, although it is also a down-to-earth walk, but it is much faster than walking.
From here to the sixth floor, it only takes half a day.
The horses here are stronger than the horses outside, with purer coats and purer flames.
Simon knew at a glance that he was a flaming horse from the third layer, with a purer bloodline than a horse he was paying for a fine piece on land, and at the same time doubling his strength and speed.
"Where are the three of you?" The coachman asked heartily, touching the burning flaming horse, and his hands were not hot at all.
"The sixth floor." Simon handed over eight blue essence blocks, and the two people behind him immediately got into the car.
The coachman was a little surprised when he heard this.
The sixth floor?
Only three people?
Are you sure there are no problems?
But looking at Simon's affirmative expression, the coachman didn't say anything more.
As soon as everyone got into the carriage, the flames on the flaming horses burned even more vigorously, and their hooves caught fire, and they immediately galloped on the dirt road on the grassland, leaving a trace of flames.
The carriage took the official road of the Adventurer's Coachmen's Association, there were no monsters along the way, and the road surface was also well-trimmed, so the horses only needed to run with all their might.
The speed of the carriage gradually increased, about a speed of several tens of kilometers per hour.
The little blind man held the sword, did not put the sword in the backpack, and was full of vigilance.
But seeing Miss Nun by her side, she felt at ease, so she rarely had the leisure to look at the scenery outside.
Sister White Sugar secretly looked at Simon, and when she noticed that Simon turned her head, she closed her eyes, held the cross, and silently prayed for the scriptures.
She looked reverent, as if to say to the air: Please Our Lady bless us with a smooth journey.
But if you listen closely, you will faintly hear a faint note similar to 'Simon'.
Simon didn't think much about it, looked at the nun's long flowing blond hair, and then looked at the thin bamboo pole girl who looked out of the car in a daze, and nodded invisibly.
Outside the car, the green fields are stretching into patches, and the wild monsters are slowly devouring grass, looking up at the sky, and even the light on their faces has a gentle touch.
As the cool breeze of the prairie blows, Simon empties his brain, and his heart is empty, and it is rare to be quiet.
