A million ways to survive in the dungeon

It had been an unknown amount of time before I regained consciousness again.

The blue sky has a few scattered white clouds.

My vision was blurry and narrow, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

My whole body aches.

A tearing pain like frostbite.

【cure】

Used a cure.

Maybe because the mp was not enough, the cure was not complete, but the pain was relieved a lot and the vision returned to normal.

When he opened his eyes, the first thing Zheng Qian saw was his own legs.

leg?

Look further down.

I saw a purple-grey head, similar to that of a 200-year-old man, carrying his own legs.

With a wrinkled face, he smiled at himself and said, "You're awake~"

Zheng Qian: "..."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Zheng Qian's screams resounded across the snowfield.

…one minute later…

"Damn it~ I thought my virginity was going to be lost."

Lying on the snowy field, Zheng Qian gasped for air with lingering fear.

Turning back and looking up to the sky, Zheng Qian still couldn't believe that the huge body that was three kilometers high was not hostile to him.

This monster was the deer-shaped super giant monster that Mao Nanbei proposed to Zheng Qian to challenge, but Zheng Qian rejected it because it was too big and he was afraid of getting into a protracted war.

You know, monsters that eat more may not necessarily grow big.

But a big monster must eat a lot.

This monster actually didn't eat Zheng Qian while he was unconscious.

Not only that, it also covered Zheng Qian with its huge body and waited for a day and night until Zheng Qian woke up.

Good guy?

Are there any good people in the dungeon?

This somewhat refreshes Zheng Qian’s outlook on life.

Cat north and south?

She is different.

She's not a good person, she's just domesticated.

As for the head that looked like a two-hundred-year-old man just now?

It's the head of this monster.

Last time, because of the distance, Zheng Qian thought it was a deer-shaped monster with particularly long legs.

This is not the case.

The organ that looks like a deer's head is actually its butt.

Yes, it has horns on its butt, and they are very big.

But what Zheng Qian thought was his butt was actually his head.

It's just that it's three kilometers tall, but its head is about the same size as a human head.

And its neck can be extended to an exaggerated length, extending directly from his two-kilometer-tall body to the ground to talk to Zheng Qian.

And looking at it, his neck seems to be able to extend infinitely.

Now, he was staring at Zheng Qian with lustful eyes.

To be honest, being stared at by Wu Ketou like this made me feel a little embarrassed.

"Then...you...saved me?" Zheng Qian asked tentatively.

The bald head of the monster looked very surprised: "Oh? Can you communicate? Can you also understand your thoughts?"

"Uh... um."

Zheng Qian nodded awkwardly: "By the way, didn't I just say something?"

Bald Lao tilted his head and said with a smile: "Uh, sorry, I've lived for too long and my memory is a bit bad."

After saying that, he paused and continued: "But it's not me who saves you, it's your friend."

"Friend?" Zheng Qian was startled.

The bald head nodded: "That Nekomata, what, you forgot?"

Nekomata? Cat north and south?

Zheng Qian was immediately shocked on the spot.

In my head, the missing piece of memory was restored like a relic of my grandmother found in the corner of the ancestral house.

[Dog, run! You miscalculated, we are no match for it, meow! 】

"Well……"

Zheng Qian's head hurt.

He remembered it all in an instant.

At that time, the ice phoenix's cold air had frozen his whole body.

Just before he was about to be completely frozen, Mao Nanbei stepped forward, rushed to his side, and used all his strength and AP to throw himself out of the ice phoenix's lair.

Zheng Qian still vaguely remembers it.

At the end, bathed in the flying frost, Mao Nanbei looked back at him and smiled.

[Dog, come and save me, otherwise, I won’t give birth to your child, meow~]

"me……"

When Zheng Qian recalled everything, his heart felt like it was being squeezed by an invisible hand.

"Did I... harm her?"

The shocking reality and feeling of powerlessness swept over him like a tide in an instant, engulfing Zheng Qian and suffocating him.

It's because I was too eager for quick success and rushed to kill the boss without checking the situation.

The smooth sailing on the second floor, coupled with the rapid improvement of his attributes, made Zheng Qian lose his way for a while, and even forgot the most important rule for survival in the dungeon:

Never underestimate any opponent.

If we had been a little more cautious, what happened today wouldn't have happened.

If it weren't for Mao Nanbei, Zheng Qian might have died at the hands of Ice Phoenix today.

"The cat threw you to the top of the ice valley. I happened to pass by. To be honest, there are very few monsters of your level on the third floor, so I picked you up easily."

The old monster raised his head and looked at the ice valley in the distance, his cloudy eyes full of emotion for the long years.

"In the past, when I participated in the Hades War, I had friends like this."

As he spoke, he stared down at Zheng Qian and asked, "You don't seem sad? Isn't that cat your friend?"

"It's my friend, a stupid cat."

The old monster was a little confused: "She risked her life to save you, why don't you seem to have any reaction?"

"Then what should I do? Cry?"

Patting his butt, Zheng Qian stood up and walked towards the Ice Valley.

Seeing this, the old monster raised his leg and stepped in front of Zheng Qian.

The feet that supported its three-kilometer-high body stood in front of Zheng Qian like a city wall.

"Why did you stop me?" Zheng Qian didn't even look back, his tone was very cold.

The old monster said calmly: "Because I saw a young monster going to die. It is the elder's responsibility to stop you."

"Mao Nanbei died because of me. It is my responsibility to avenge her."

Zheng Qian's words were sonorous and powerful, and his tone was full of determination.

The old monster didn't speak.

His eyes moved slightly downward.

Zheng Qian was seen clenching his fists with two dragon claws, and blue blood was flowing out from between his fingers.

It turns out that it was not without wavering.

The old monster smiled knowingly, as if he had remembered something good.

After a long time, he finally said: "What if I say that your friend is not dead?"

"Not dead?" Zheng Qian turned around as if grasping a life-saving straw, and saw the old monster looking at him with a smile, not like he was lying.

"Old senior, what do you mean when you say Mao Nanbei is not dead?"

The old monster nodded, and his cloudy eyes became stern: "Ice Phoenix's puppet is extremely realistic because her summoning technique is a special summoning technique called [Fish and Bone God Replacement].

From the ancient times to the present, there are no more than ten beings who have possessed this summoning technique. It is one of the rarest skills in the world.

Generally speaking, the strength of summoned objects is weaker than the original version, but this summoning spell can summon summoned objects that are the same as the original version, or even stronger.

Because its principle is not [reproduction] of ordinary summons, but [plunder].

The creature is trapped and killed, but the soul is retained, the consciousness is removed, and the body is reshaped with ice. All attributes, including magic elements, are provided by the Ice Phoenix.

So it is said that it is a summoned object, but it is actually made into a puppet. This is why the summoned object that kills it still has experience points.

The monsters you encounter in the Ice Valley are, without exception, summoned by the Ice Phoenix.

The third floor is now under the control of Ice Phoenix. Except for some miscellaneous fish, anyone with a little bit of strength has been made into a summon by Ice Phoenix. "

This shocking fact made Zheng Qian feel unbelievable: "You mean...most of the monsters on the third floor were wiped out by the Ice Phoenix?"

The old monster nodded: "Including the climate, 20,000 years ago, this was a grassland. The entire climate on the third floor was transformed by Ice Phoenix."

"Then what does this have to do with Mao Nanbei still being alive?"

The old monster said: "Although the flesh-and-bone god substitute is powerful and can rob others of everything, its disadvantage is that it takes effect very slowly.

It is necessary to use the ice attribute to slowly replace the victim's body from the cellular level, so that the complete soul can be retained.

Based on the Nekomata's abilities, this process will probably take about two weeks. As long as you kill the Ice Phoenix within two weeks, the Nekomata can be saved with healing magic. "

Two weeks? !

The nanny's death caused great harm to Zheng Qian.

If Mao Nanbei also dies, Zheng Qian will probably feel guilty for the rest of his life, right?

Now, this news has undoubtedly given Zheng Qian a shot in the arm.

The dull eyes gradually regained their luster.

still have a chance!

It would be too reckless of me to say that the cat was caught in the north and south.

Then it is my responsibility to rescue her.

Zheng Qian is still human in nature.

The biggest difference between humans and animals is.

Beasts will retreat when faced with difficulties, but humans will learn from the pain!

Zheng Qian bowed deeply to the old monster: "Thank you, senior, I know what I should do."

The old monster smiled heartily: "It's nothing. I've lived too long. It's rare to see a candle dragon doll on the third floor, so I came to save you and kill the boredom."

Candle dragon? !

Zheng Qian was shocked.

He should be a miniature ice dragon now. The bloodline of the candle dragon has long been hidden due to two evolutions, and there are no characteristics of the candle dragon left on his body.

How did this old monster see through?

Wait a moment!

Zheng Qian suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Old... senior, you... you said that except for the miscellaneous fish, all the monsters on the third floor have been made into puppets by the Ice Phoenix, then... then you..."

With such a huge size, it doesn’t look like a trash fish, right?

After all, the person was helpful to him, so Zheng Qian couldn't ask him if he was so rude.

A wicked smile flashed across the old monster's slender eyes.

"Don't you also have a rare skill: truth? This is a stupid skill. Apart from you, I have only seen one person since the Hades... uh no, only one god has it.

Why am I an exception? If you look at it with the truth, won’t you know? "

Does he even know the truth? !

Zheng Qian was shocked beyond words at this moment.

"Then...that junior is rude."

After calming down, Zheng Qian raised his head and used Truth on this huge strange monster.

The moment he saw the data clearly, Zheng Qian felt his eyes go dark.

His legs went weak and he collapsed on the ground.

Although he was in a low temperature environment of minus 150 degrees Celsius, Zheng Qian's whole body was soaked in sweat due to fear.

Babylon.

lv413?

Super beast? !

Is this strange-looking wrinkled monster stronger than Leviathan? !

"You...who are you?"

Zheng Qian's voice couldn't stop trembling.

Babylon smiled and said nothing.

It looked up at the blue sky, pursed its lips and smiled as if it had remembered something beautiful.

After a long time, he muttered:

"I once fought against millions of demons, and separated day and night from dawn to dusk at the snap of a finger. Now I am alone in this life, perfect and pure, willing to be unknown."
