Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

Chapter 237 The Nature of the Maze

At this time, Su Zhou naturally did not know that the enemy valued him so much that he was listed as the top hunting target.

However, he had already guessed, and for Su Zhou, it would be abnormal for the other party not to do this.

Now, he was in the underground labyrinth, feeling the unique underground structure of the Tartadis world.

The first level of the maze is an area that has been explored by maze adventurers for more than a thousand years. It is also the safest area. Just after entering the entrance of the maze that is hundreds of meters wide and diving nearly a hundred meters, Su Zhou saw what , is a brand new underground world.

It is a colorful underground chamber composed of pyroxene lamps, fluorescent moss and various luminous ores. The underground labyrinth is not bleak. Instead, it appears extremely bright due to the adventurers' lighting tools and native luminous plants, even dimmer than the sun. The surface of the earth will be bright.

Here, Su Zhou could feel that even if they were separated from the protection of the elemental array, the stagnant elemental conversion speed on the surface could not affect this place.

There are also the most adventurers here, and most of their tasks are to plant some special magic plants here.

"Hey, but there is no soil here, how do you plant it?"

After hearing this, Su Zhou remembered what the fishman maid said at breakfast. She said that there are areas suitable for normal plants in the maze - now it seems that with this level of light, the underground is indeed It is more suitable for farming than the surface, but the first floor of the maze is entirely composed of rock ore layers, so where is the place for farming?

"You'll know just by looking at it."

Elias smiled mysteriously and took Su Zhou to a corner of the first floor.

Then, Su Zhou saw a group of giant earth puppets walking back and forth in the vast open space.

Rumble, rumble... the sound of the giant beasts walking came, like thunder.

Huge earth puppets that are nearly ten meters tall are the 'monsters' that are abundant in this layer of the maze. They are the predecessors of the earth element. Their bodies are made of soft soil and sand, and they do not have much intelligence.

"Wow!"

Su Zhou opened his eyes wide, because he found that these soil puppets were covered with seedlings of various plants on the front, back, chest and back of the body!

Each earth puppet is like a moving field. By constantly walking, all parts of the body receive light evenly, and the magic power they possess that infiltrates the soil throughout the body becomes fertilizer that nourishes the plants.

And here, there are dozens of adventurers working. Among them, some use water magic to 'attack' all the soil puppets and perform watering operations, and some use binding magic to 'harvest' the soil puppets whose crops have matured. and 'replanting' operations. Of course, there are also adventurers who are responsible for destroying some powerful earth puppets that are too large and are about to advance into 'super giant earth puppets' or 'earth elements' to ensure the stability of this labyrinth farmland.

All the adventurers moved smoothly and skillfully, and they didn't know how familiar they were with this. It was obvious that they had done this process hundreds or thousands of times.

"Your use of the maze is really ingenious."

Even Yala complained, "People in this world are very similar to you Zhengguo people. They can farm anywhere." Su Zhou was even more amazed: "If earth puppets can grow fields, wouldn't metal puppets be able to grow fields?" Your mineral source?”

At this time, Elias showed a reserved and mysterious smile. It was not until Su Zhou left the 'fluorescent cave' on the first floor and descended to the 'metal chamber' on the third floor that he discovered that his guess had turned out to be true. in the language.

Because the metal puppets appearing here, and the alloys that make up their body structures, are the prototype of the universal currency 'gold' in the world of Tartadis! After defeating them and smashing them, take out a little bit of the metal in the core area and refine it to become that strong metal alloy!

The people in this world, even the currency, all originate from the maze.

The shortest of the first four floors of the maze has been developed for more than 800 years. What kind of monsters will appear in it and how the monsters will behave have long been familiar to all adventurers. As long as they do not settle down for a long time, there is almost no danger. And the most dangerous monster is just the official high-level one, that is, the awakened high-level one. To Su Zhou, these places didn't have much value other than surprise.

In fact, it was not just surprise, but also fright - because in the second-level maze, 'Mushroom Plain', Su Zhou found a 'mushroom elf' that was very similar to the roasted mushroom he had for breakfast. Most of these mushroom elves are only about the size of a fist, with weird white hands and feet that resemble spider legs. They can secrete strong acidic corrosive liquid, fix themselves on the bodies of dissolved creatures, and then grow on the bodies of the other parties.

In general, although like most mushrooms, they are fungal organisms that grow on humus, this mushroom can create its own corpses and is quite proactive.

"Could it be that the mushrooms I ate in the morning were just these?!"

Su Zhou was startled when he saw these mushroom elves, but soon he became indifferent: "Hey, they look a bit disgusting, but they are delicious. If you think about it carefully, they are just mushroom-shaped crabs. I know how to eat them." It’s just hunting, nothing disgusting.”

He is not critical about food, as long as the source is not too outrageous, then as long as it tastes good, that's fine.

In fact, Elias himself has not been to the maze a few times. Most of them are experiences gained from watching records. Along the way, he has seen more of everything in the maze than Su Zhou.

However, when Su Zhou decided to go to the fifth-level maze 'Miasma Forest', which might be inhabited by elite elementary monsters and was not fully developed, he reminded him somewhat seriously: "Mr. Su, although you are very powerful, But it seems that you have not explored the maze many times - so I must remind you that no matter how powerful you are, you cannot underestimate the monsters in the maze! Most of them have special abilities, so be careful. Otherwise, you will be severely damaged!"

Su Zhou: "Dim sum? What kind of dim sum?"

In fact, Su Zhou still kept Elias's warning in mind. He never underestimated any opponent. Although this was mainly because he liked to abuse food, it could also be regarded as a part of caution.

The most powerful creature in the fifth-level maze is a giant chameleon that can control the poison of the miasma and become invisible in the miasma. It has a length of seventeen meters and the strength of an elite primary level. It is indeed very difficult to deal with. Ordinary exploration It is indeed easy for the team to be hunted by it when they reach the fifth floor.

But for Su Zhou, whose hard power is several times higher than that of Invulnerable to All Poisons, the outcome will naturally be to be brutally killed.

He didn't even use Lan Jia, Thunder Technique and the Blade of Annihilation. He just relied on the water control power of Mingju Dragon Transformation Technique and some water magic he just learned last night to forcefully turn water into a prison and drown the man. A giant beast of extraordinary level.

However, Su Zhou did not despise this giant beast because of this: "This guy's ability to control poisonous gas is essentially using a special 'extraordinary organ' to control dust with a 'macromolecular structure'! And the strange scales on its body, It can also achieve rapid color change and temperature conversion. If I didn’t have a lightning method that can directly scan the surrounding electromagnetic fluctuations, I would have been fooled by it just relying on thermal vision!”

Thinking of this, Su Zhou carefully cut off a part of the chameleon's body and stored it as reference material. He has not forgotten his purpose of cultivating his true body. Fighting these special monsters with their own strengths can not only enrich his reserves of various extraordinary organs, but also bring him inspiration.

"My real body should face enemies that my normal form cannot deal with, and those enemies are generally divided into two types. The first one is the giant whale that I encountered in the deep sea. The same type is more than a hundred meters long and it is difficult for my attacks to be fully effective. The second type is that it is difficult for me to break through the defense and cannot cause damage to the opponent."

Su Zhou didn't think too much about 'the enemy's attack is so powerful that he can't defend himself' or 'the enemy is faster than himself'. The former is because if he encounters an enemy of this level, he must do it first. The first thing is to escape first instead of fighting the opponent head-on. The latter is because his human form is small in size and light in weight. With the help of Lan Jia, he can run at supersonic speed. His real body may not be as fast as his original speed.

In this way, the basic structure of his true body is obvious-that is, he must be large and have high attack power. As for the defense, it must at least be to the point where it can ignore the attacks of ordinary soldiers, so as not to be killed by the concentrated fire of a larger party due to its excessive size after transforming into its true form.

In this way, Su Zhou gradually perfected his thoughts about the true body in his heart, and Su Zhou continued to wander in the maze with Elias.

Along the way, Su Zhou not only hunted extraordinary-level monsters, he also specifically hunted some weak monsters that were very common among the locals - for example, they wandered around the second half of the fifth floor maze, almost like a calf. Large groups of fire-poison ants, with strange chamber structures, flying hedgehogs that can float in the air just by breathing... These unique monsters and various plants and animals, even in the world of Tartadis before the end of the world, I am afraid that they have all been extinct long ago, but the maze has revived them and reappeared in the world.

The locals may have long been accustomed to it, and even regard the existence of mazes as common sense, but as a visitor from another world, Su Zhou has another view on the existence of mazes: "These 'mazes', no matter how you look at them, look like layers. The independent special ecological circle preserves some extraordinary creatures from all eras that can only survive in special environments!"

"Moreover, all of this has a context to be found - the deeper the maze, the more complex the creatures, which is similar to the ecology of the Tartadis world before the end of the world in the records, and the earlier, the more complex the creatures. Simple, and the more original and abnormal.”

The complexity and danger of living things naturally grow gradually. This is especially true for extraordinary creatures, so when you gradually arrange them layer by layer, you will have the feeling that the maze is gradually becoming more difficult!

Su Zhou did not hide all this, but told Elias everything - he was not the kind of person who would keep things to himself, not to mention, he also needed a local to analyze this speculation for him. rationality.

After hearing Su Zhou's anatomy and analysis from another angle, the young grand duke of the Neisser family suddenly looked serious.

"I need to compare and analyze it with the family's information after I go back."

He said so, but it could be seen that Elias also felt that Su Zhou's guess was quite reasonable. And in this case, it seems to be vaguely connected to the 'Change of Era'.

But in this case, the nature of the maze is quite intriguing, and the 'Water God Temple' located deep on the eighth floor, as well as the legendary 'apocalyptic truth' hidden in the deepest part of the maze, have more meanings.

Yesterday’s second chapter, I overwrote it and forgot to update it.
