Extraordinary Mechanical City

Chapter 258 The Poisonous Holy Grail

Behind the stone gate is also an underground palace built of bricks and stones.

However, the area is very large, and it is not full of cramped passages like the maze above. There are huge palaces here, with high floors, at least as high as ten floors. Huge stone pillars with exquisite carvings and megalithic sculptures of various figures and kobolds can be seen everywhere.

The visibility in the underground palace is still very low, the magic cold light source illuminates a corner, and the visibility is less than 100 meters.

Looking up, the top of the head was covered with darkness, and the top could be seen vaguely, but I didn't know what was on it.

Ren didn't dare to be careless, and took out the anti-curse and anti-insect [Divine Power Wood Carving], medicinal powder and so on.

Because in his perception, he heard a lot of small movements.

That's the noise made by the movement of a large number of bugs.

Rustling, in the endless darkness, it was creepy to hear.

He moved his ears slightly, and he could distinguish several types of them, the ones with four legs, the ones with six legs, the ones with eight legs, the ones with sixteen legs, and the ones with countless legs.

Some are big and some are small.

Ren also heard that there were not only the strange insects that looked like "scorpions" that he encountered outside, but also some small things like spiders and centipedes.

Of course, before seeing what they looked like, Ren could only guess that they should be such things.

There are still written records in the second floor of the underground palace, but this time it is much simpler.

On a black obelisk, he directly saw the layout of the underground palace on this floor.

Ren used a cold light source to illuminate the entire stone wall, and the system automatically recorded it.

There is no precise scale, and I don't know how big the underground palace is, but I have drawn the approximate locations of several landmark buildings.

"Is there a third floor?"

Ren looked at the map carefully and was a little surprised.

He looked at the "Exit" marked on the map with two signs. One is the stone gate that came in before, and the other is on the diagonal.

It seems that the third floor needs to go through the entire underground palace and go down through another door.

Ren didn't think too much, found the right direction, and walked carefully into the dark depths of the underground palace.

He walked very slowly, he only walked about one or two kilometers in half an hour, passing through several palaces of unknown purpose.

Nothing was found, because the bugs were all repelled by the medicine.

There is only a thick layer of biological feces, which seems to have accumulated for tens of thousands of years. There are "fossils" that are hard to step on, and there are soft "fresh goods".

Wren collected some samples and moved on.

The farther you go to the center of the underground palace, the stronger the toxins in the air.

Gradually, even with such a high poison resistance, Ren felt a burning sensation in his breath.

The system also roughly analyzed the composition of the toxins in the air, not a single toxin, but a mixture of various biological toxins.

However, [Voodoo Master] brought him super toxin adaptability, every breath he takes is adapting to the poisonous gas here.

This is the hall of the "deadly poisonous mist area" for ordinary high-level extraordinary, and it is not a big problem for him.

The more this was the case, the more it aroused Ren's curiosity, what secrets would there be in the poisonous fog.

The movement in the ear became more and more intensive, and Ren walked towards the darkness, and finally saw clearly what these bugs were hiding in the darkness.

The "Elder Bug Master" Yimu of the Coleman tribe is probably the transcendent person who knows the best about bugs in the world.

Among the gifts he prepared for Ren was a powder that could deal with almost any bug.

But Ren didn't continue to use the repelling powder, because the smell of that thing was very irritating, and he wasn't sure if there were some special bugs in the dark hall that would be stimulated and attracted instead.

Instead, he intends to apply a scent assimilation ointment that will make the bugs feel "like". Although it feels a little scary, the security is actually stronger.

After all, he thought that there are many kinds of bugs here anyway, and there are not many of his "kind".

Clean up the smell, change clothes, apply ointment

After everything last night, Ren re-entered the hall and walked towards the area with dense movements.

Sure enough, changing the method, the result is different.

After walking a few steps, he encountered a large number of bugs.

It was a group of very enthusiastic centipedes.

"Three-tailed centipede?"

Ren looked at the frost-white nematodes whose feet turned into fast running, and recognized that these one-foot-long insects were highly poisonous [multi-tailed frost poisonous centipedes].

This adult usually has two tails, and his body is white and crystal clear. With one bite, the freezing toxin can instantly freeze parts of the extraordinary's limbs into popsicles.

The threat to low-level transcendence is not small.

But this insect corpse can be used as medicine, and it is a valuable potion material.

It is quite rare in other places. There are thirty or fifty in a litter, and one can be exchanged for several silver coins.

And there are hundreds of thousands of white flowers in the underground palace in front of you.

These bugs are like stacking arhats, rolling and crawling like a tide, making people's scalp numb.

Moreover, not only two or three tails, Renn also saw several four-tailed, five-tailed, and even a six-tailed red centipede in the swarm. It was a big bug that was more than one meter long, with a red carapace like armor, and it shone brightly under the light!

Just looking at the bug swarm from afar, Ren felt his chrysanthemum tighten.

This thing not only bites, but also likes to drill holes.

Toxins are still of secondary importance, and if they penetrate into the human body, they will be truly intoxicated.

"Fuck, if you get bitten by this thing, I'm afraid high-level transcendents will have to die on the spot."

The red giant worm disappeared in a flash, and Ren watched his eyelids twitch.

This was the first time he had seen a living [Multi-tailed Frost Centipede] with more than three tails.

Even if it is recorded in the "Encyclopedia of Potion Materials", the five tallest tails are already poisonous insects of the "Bug King" level, and the poison can easily kill a fourth-order monster. It is unlikely that one will be found in a hundred years.

But in this pile of insects, after a cursory glance just now, the "Five-tailed Insect King" saw at least three of them.

Moreover, what the hell is this six-tailed red centipede?

Variation?

Ren frowned, puzzled.

He also discovered that the adult centipede tribe in this hall has one more tail than what is generally recorded in the encyclopedia.

Influenced by his teacher Irubek, he is now considered a half-baked biologist.

Seeing the "abnormality" of these multi-tailed centipedes in front of him, he immediately analyzed that the cause of this situation was either the blood of the bugs in this nest or environmental factors

However, because of the assimilation ointment, those bugs did not find Ren, an outlier. He also crawled along the feet, and occasionally a few lost ones climbed up the trouser legs, and he shook them off cleanly.

Seeing this, Ren felt a sense of intense fear making him very uncomfortable.

Originally, he planned to turn around and leave, but he always felt that in the dark place, there were some faint light sources flickering.

At first I thought I was seeing it wrong, but when I took a closer look, there was indeed light.

Colorful light.

And the place where these bugs are most dense is the direction where the light source flickers.

Thinking about it, Ren still planned to bite the bullet and walk in to have a look.

There will be so many poisonous insects gathered in this hall, and [Multi-Tailed Frost Centipede] can evolve six tails. He feels that environmental factors will have a great influence.

There must be something weird in this hall.

Traveling through the bug swarm all the way, Ren had a close contact with these bugs.

At the beginning, Ren could still find a gap for his feet and stepped on it. But after walking a few steps, the ground was densely covered with bugs, a thick layer, and it was impossible to settle down.

He could only walk on the ground, fearing that if he trampled a centipede to death, it would cause a riot of insects.

At first, he felt that it was "difficult to walk" in the centipede group, but he didn't go far. When Ren compared it with other groups of poisonous substances, he suddenly felt that the centipede was still quite "kind".

At least it's cold, not foul-smelling, and not aggressive.

It's not as disgusting as those spiders, toads, scorpions, poisonous snakes, and slimy green poisonous slugs in the next-door area.

Moreover, those things also eat the same kind.

Looking around, the hall was nothing but a gathering of poisonous substances.

Each kind of poisonous insect almost has its own area, which is clearly defined.

And Ren happened to be in the centipede's area.

Ren walked another hundred meters, got closer, and finally saw the source of the colorful light.

In the center of the hall, there is a silver holy grail more than half a meter high, exuding a dreamlike rainbow-colored halo

The light was very faint, but in the boundless darkness, it was extremely strange to see.

On the rock wall above the Holy Grail, there is a stalactite-like thing.

A drop of colored "water drop" was dripping from the stone clock.

Tick, tick, tick.

Probably because the water dripped for countless thousands of years, and then unexpectedly condensed into a group of colored crystals on the Holy Grail, like a large "colorful ice cream".

Moreover, what's even more weird is that there is a circle around the holy grail, all kinds of poisonous insect "bosses" who don't seem to be easy to provoke.

Look at them, they seem to be breathing poisonous mist there.

It looked like a group of smokers, gathering together to smoke and puff, with a look of enjoyment on their faces.

Take a breath of colored mist, then spit out some poisonous gas, volatilize on the ceiling, melt into the water, and drip down the holy grail along the stalactites; take another breath.

And so on and on.

"It turns out that poisonous insects evolved for this reason!"

Seeing this scene, Ren finally understood.

He recognized the origins of many poisons, but in general, there were some visions compared to the records in the "Encyclopedia".

Toad with horns on top of head, spider with glowing eyes, venomous snake with belly legs.

It seems that they are all "big bosses", the kind that can't be messed with.

Ren also understood that so many poisonous insects could gather in this hall, all because of the silver holy grail carved with simple patterns.

And the poisonous gas in the air is all mixed with the poisonous gas swallowed by those poisonous insects.

"What the hell is this Holy Grail?"

Although Ren didn't understand it, he knew it must be a treasure.

And the colorful crystals in the cup that had been condensed for countless years were also highly poisonous. But for Chaofan who needs toxins, it is definitely a top treasure.

Just like Ren himself, he is now advanced [Voodoo Master] although the poison resistance is good. But to achieve the level of invulnerability to all poisons, it is necessary to continuously use various toxins to stimulate the body's immune system and increase toxin resistance.

This "colorful crystal" of various biological toxins is a good choice!

"I didn't expect it to be a 'very poisonous crystal', and there are so many colors!"

When Ren saw this thing, his brain automatically pushed several material names that fit the crystal in front of him.

The conditions match the highest, and it is a material recorded in the Coleman Clan's Inheritance Witch Festival Inheritance Secret Code-【Very Poisonous Crystal】.

In some highly toxic environments, toxins condense into crystals over time.

Highly toxic and volatile.

He had seen something similar in the material warehouse of "Elder Bug Master" Yi Muyu.

But those [very poisonous crystals] are all of a single color, and the largest is no more than the size of a fingernail.

And in front of him, this "colorful crystal" is as big as two footballs!

Although the ranks of creatures in this mist will not exceed the fifth rank, so are the poisonous insects. But in ancient times, there was no such restriction. It is conceivable that the toxin in the crystal in the cup might give him a big surprise!

If he could get used to this kind of mixed toxin, the common biological poisons in this world probably couldn't help him!

"Baby"

It was hard to hide the scorching look in Ren's eyes. Seeing the baby in front of him with a colorful halo, he immediately decided that he must hold this thing in his hand.

However, he can come here and see clearly that the Holy Grail is already the limit.

Now every time he took a breath, he felt a severe burning sensation in his respiratory tract, and his clothes began to gradually corrode.

This is just the poisonous gas volatilized in the air, which keeps him away, but how violent is the toxin condensed into crystals?

If it is really injected into the body, I am afraid that it will kill the high-level extraordinary immediately.

However, the more this happened, the more Ren felt that the colorful crystals and the Holy Grail were treasures.

If you really want to hold this kind of highly poisonous poison in your hands, you will have another trump card to deal with the enemy in the future!

Ren thought of this, and he left in no hurry.

Anyway, he is the only one in the underground palace now.

This highly toxic environment also happens to be the best place to increase his poison resistance.

There is still a distance of more than a hundred meters before he can touch the Holy Grail, but after his body develops resistance to the mixed toxins in the air, he can get closer.

"However... Those bug kings are a troublesome thing."

Ren frowned as he looked at all kinds of strange poisonous insects around him.

He thought that if he took the Holy Grail away, those bugs would still have to go berserk?

However, when his poison resistance is close to the Holy Grail, the poison of these bugs will not pose too much threat to him.

Thinking, when the time comes to grab and run, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Ren just stayed in the bug pile.

After he found that the centipedes didn't bite him, he ignored them. Putting on a hood and plugging all the holes in his body, he began to meditate in the pile of worms.

The swarm of insects overwhelmed him, but he didn't care, his heart was like still water.

Then, after the body got used to the toxin concentration a little bit, it got closer, meditated, and got closer again.

The progress is very slow, and it takes about an hour to advance about one meter.

The closer one gets to the Holy Grail, the more poisonous the air becomes.

It was also getting harder for him to breathe.

At first it was like breathing air, then water, then mud, and finally.

In the end, I became more and more used to it.

Ren also followed those poisonous insects, puffing and puffing with enjoyment

In addition to septic toxin, neurotoxin, frost, burning, and corrosive toxins, there are also some weird toxins that can make people have wonderful hallucinations.

Let Renn suck it, and there is also a feeling of "crossing the rivers and lakes".

I have to admit, it was an amazing experience.

However, because of the "smart brain" factor, he can monitor his physical condition at any time. Although the whole person is soaked in poisonous gas, there will be no problems.

In this way, after two days and two nights.

Ren's body has almost completely adapted to the toxin here, and then, just as he was thinking about how to avoid the innermost poisonous "bosses" and snatch the Holy Grail.

By chance, a group of uninvited guests broke in.

"Hey, someone finally came?"

Not only was Ren not surprised when he heard the movement, but he was overjoyed.

Now there is no danger in the maze above, and it will not be difficult to break out with a little time.

Loose hunters may have to sleep for ten days and a half months, but for those large and powerful noble hunters, they must not be difficult.

No, as soon as people come in, the swarm begins to stir

Generally, I will revise it twice after an update. Therefore, the first edition has many typos, and reading it every half an hour will give you the best reading experience.
