From Skeleton Soldiers to King of the Undead

The fire wave lasted for a few seconds and then stopped.

Dots of bright yellow sparks were scattered in place, and the remaining hot air flow heated the passage like a smoking chimney.

Triggered magic trap...

Roja's heart sank.

These traps are quite "no-frills" but very powerful.

The temperature of the flame magic just now surpassed the flame flow technique and reached the level of high-level magic.

If a super-level expert steps into it rashly, his life will be in danger.

Moreover, this is just the "appetizer", the further you go, the more dangerous it becomes.

If you speculate like this, it is simply impossible to completely conquer this ruins with his strength.

Then just go wherever you go!

The blue summoning circle lit up, and Roja summoned two skeleton soldiers again.

He chose to go to the left,

This time, I jumped directly over the big hole exposed in the ground, passed this short passage smoothly, and came to the next intersection.

Another fork in the road... Isn't there a big maze inside this dungeon?

Roja couldn't help but doubt this.

At this time, the progress numbers displayed on the panel changed:

[Strategy progress: 0% → 1%]

[Experience +100, Points +0.5]

Assign attributes to this little bit, and the panel values ​​are as follows:

【Strength: 69.0】

[Physique: 67.1]

[Agility: 67.1]

[Experience value: 1275/5190]

1%+100... If you completely conquer the maze, you will only gain 10,000 experience points and 50 attribute points.

Is it too little?

Roja shook his head and felt that the progress of this mission should be higher as it progresses.

If you complete the strategy, it should be easy to get all your attributes over 100.

Moreover, there will be "special rewards" related to the dungeon after it is completely cleared, and that should be the most important thing.

It is worth mentioning that,

When the progress of the strategy showed 1%, a "three-dimensional map" appeared in Roja's mind.

The map as a whole is a large square, and the small area that is illuminated is the entrance and the first fork in the passage they just walked through.

Roja's position is represented by a "red dot", which is exactly the same as the map when he explored the Mountains of the Dead.

With this, he doesn't have to use spider silk instead of wool to mark the path along the maze like a certain legend. That method is not practical in this place where there are so many traps.

"Da, da, da, da..."

The two skeleton soldiers slowly walked towards the passages in both directions under his instructions.

"Rumble..."

When they reached the middle of the passage, the heavy sound of the machine sounded again.

Under Roja's gaze, the walls on both sides of the passage moved downwards quickly, revealing two black rock walls hidden behind.

The surface of the rock wall is rough and uneven, and there are even moss-like plants growing on it. It has not been polished or processed in any way, and it looks like two big rocks moved from a certain mountain.

If there is anything special, it is that there is a faint aura of magic.

'what? ’

The Lich seemed to think of something when he saw this, and hurriedly said: "This is... this is from Orario's underground labyrinth..."

Before it could finish speaking, the black rock walls on both sides moved.

"Boom...boom..."

The rock wall was squirming as if it were alive, and big bags quickly bulged out, as if something was pregnant inside and was about to "break out"!

At the same time, Roja also sensed an increasingly obvious aura from inside - it was a monster!

The next second, "Bang!"

Big bags exploded one by one, broken rocks flew everywhere, and the monsters inside rolled to the ground.

They have humanoid bodies, green skin, pointed ears, beast-like claws and teeth, and eyes with horizontal pupils like sheep!

The monsters are about the same height as adult men, but they are hunched over and have extremely thick limbs. Some individuals also hold natural stone sticks and stone thorns as weapons.

Goblin?

Roja recognized this most famous monster at a glance, and its appearance was almost exactly the same as in the legend.

Goblins pop out of cracks in rocks?

Before he could think too much, the goblins in the passages in both directions swarmed up and smashed the two skeleton soldiers into pieces instantly.

"Ho!" "Ho!" "Hey hey hey!"

Then they drooled, grinned, screamed and roared and rushed towards Roja and the others.

However, the so-called Goblin, as Roja's early unit of measurement of combat power, was the weakest monster.

There is no need for Roja to take action personally. The ancient lich just moved his fingers.

There was a "bang", and there was no time to even scream. Dozens of goblins exploded in an instant, and their bodies turned into large amounts of blood and minced meat, dyeing both passages red.

'Lich, it's too dirty. ’

The Skeleton Mage bowed slightly, "Yes, Lord, I will pay attention to this next time."

Without waiting for Roja to ask, it took the initiative to explain:

"Those two rock walls must come from Orario's underground labyrinth, the mother nest of all monsters, so monsters can be born automatically."

The monster's nest... Roja gestured to the lich to continue.

So the Lich began to tell the history of the underground labyrinth and monsters:

"It is said that in ancient times, a huge abyss opened from the ground, and a large number of monsters poured out from it like a tide.

"They were killing and devouring all living creatures on the ground like crazy. More than 80% of the world's humans died in a short period of time, and countless civilizations were exterminated.

"As the remaining people struggled to survive, many warriors and mages with unprecedented strength were born. Under the guidance of the gods, they led mankind to eliminate the tide of monsters and completely seal the abyss.

“It was not exterminated at that time, and some remaining monsters fled into the wilderness and deep mountains, and multiplied and multiplied like wild beasts, forming the mountains of monsters that later emerged.

"In order to guard the abyss and prevent monsters from flooding into the ground again, people in ancient times established city-states and organizations on the abyss, which are now the Underground Labyrinth, Orario, and the Adventurer's Guild.

"Now, the maze will still produce monsters continuously. The way they are born is to split directly from the walls of the cave just like before."

So that's it... Roja nodded thoughtfully.

He reached out and grabbed it, and a green crystal the size of a walnut fell into his palm. This was the Goblin's magic stone.

"boom!"

The Lich stretched out a bone-white finger, and sprayed out a wave of hot fire from the fingertip, melting and burning all the corpses in the passage.

"call……"

Finally, it waved its sleeves, and the strong air flow blew away the ashes, revealing a clean ground.

From the perspective of a servant, it is indeed much more "caring" than Chris, it can observe people's emotions, and its spells are also more powerful.

What is that?

Roja saw that a small piece of the claw tip did not turn into ashes under the lich's flames, but remained intact.

The tip of the claw levitated in a burst of black light and fell into the palm of the skeleton mage.

It held it up with both hands, presented it to Roja, and said respectfully:

"Lord, this is the drop from the maze monster, and it is one of the treasures of the maze."
