Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3760 Rescue
East of the surface of Rabbit Town, at the entrance to Ethan's Dream dungeon.

Although it is said that this is the Crystal Eye Tribe’s base, it is actually quite far away from the center of the base.

There are several towering crystal mountains surrounding it, and the entrance to the dungeon is located right in the valley shared by these mountains.

Because of Laplace's warning about "Ethan's Dream", there are no longer many Crystal Eyes in the valley today. There are only a few elders and some soldiers stationed there.

As soon as Laplace arrived here, he was greeted by a Crystal Eye elder with a worried look on his face.

She still remembered that the elder was called Yumada, and she had met him when she came here before.

It is said that they are the descendants of the previous prophet who was trapped in the copy.

“Ms. Laplace, you are finally here!” Yumada was excited when she saw Laplace, but even so, the worry between her brows was not relieved.

Because... there is only one Laplace.

Before Laplace left, she said she would find a way to rescue her, but now seeing that she came alone, Yumada immediately had a bad feeling.

Laplace saw that Yumada was looking behind her, and she understood what Yumada meant, so she said calmly, "No need to look, I'm here alone."

Yumada's eyes showed disappointment: "Then...what should we do now?"

Laplace came alone and naturally found a solution. However, she did not tell the situation immediately, but looked at Yumada with some curiosity... and the group of Crystal Eye soldiers behind her.

Whether it was Yumada or the other Crystal-Eyed people around her, their expressions were filled with worry at this moment.

This made Laplace feel a little confused.

The last time she came to warn them, although the Crystal Eye people listened to her advice and took immediate countermeasures, their emotions were very stable at the time.

And now their melancholy was almost as dense and thick as the mist floating in the valley.

Could it be that something happened during this period of time?

In response to Laplace's question, Yumada pursed her lips, but she didn't dare to hide anything, and simply explained the situation...

Something really happened.

Just an hour ago, someone discovered in reality that a guard named Linta suddenly became ferocious in his sleep, with colorless liquid flowing from his eyes.

This colorless and viscous liquid is the blood of the Crystal Eye Clan.

It scared everyone at the time.

Because Linta is one of the few living people who has entered the "Ethan's Dream" copy and has not yet logged off.

The reason why he did not log off was because he was assigned as a guard to protect the previous prophet. Now that his body in reality had abnormalities, did it mean that he was in danger in the copy?

But if there was really danger, why didn't Scale Tower go offline?

Or maybe the situation is not so serious that we need to go offline?

So everyone decided to wait and see.

However, in the next few minutes, Linta's expression did not become relaxed as time passed, but became more and more tense, and colorless blood even began to flow from the corners of his mouth.

Seeing this scene, Yumada realized that she could not wait any longer.

Linta was awakened directly. Fortunately, Linta was alive and could be awakened by external force.

After being awakened, Linta finally regained some consciousness after a period of unconsciousness and collapse.

But even so, Linta's expression was filled with fear, and when everyone asked him about his situation, his lips even turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After asking, everyone roughly understood what happened to Linta.

He was originally looking for the traces of the previous prophet in the mountains and forests, but before he found him, he encountered a terrifying plant.

According to the information from Wonderland, the name of this plant is: Sawtooth Piranha.

The main flower has a diameter of five meters and looks like a huge, twisted bloody mouth. The edge is covered with sharp, saw-like thorns and is dark red in color, as if stained with blood.

Its underground rhizomes are spread over an area of ​​100 meters in radius, which means that as long as you step within 100 meters of it, you have entered its hunting ground!
Its hunting method is to spread poisonous pollen that causes hallucinations, lure prey within a hundred meters of it, then extend thorny vines covered with poisonous thorns from the ground, entangle the prey, and finally swallow it into its body.

When Linta was in the mountains and forests, he encountered the saw-toothed carnivorous plant.

It first spread through pollen, allowing Lintahuan to hear the call of the previous prophet, and then entered the hunting range of the man-eating plant, and was eventually swallowed by it...

But being devoured to death was only the beginning.

As soon as Scale Tower died, he suddenly resurrected in the next second, and the location of his resurrection was near the Piranha Plant.

Before he could even think of escaping, he was poisoned again, fell into a trance, and was eaten by the carnivorous plant again.

again and again……

Every time it was devoured, intense pain went straight from the body to the soul, as if the spirit was also crumbling and about to shatter.

The endless cycle of death pain pushed Scale Tower into a desperate situation.

However, Linta was unable to log off because the poison from the thorns of the carnivorous plant could directly make his consciousness fall into a trance. As soon as he thought of logging off, he would be swallowed up by the tide of darkness.

This is also the reason why Scale Tower entered a death loop but did not go offline.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to get off, but that he simply can’t get off. There is no moment when his consciousness is clear.

Fortunately, Linta was still alive in reality, and someone discovered his abnormality and forcibly awakened him. Otherwise, he might have really stayed in the territory of the sawtooth carnivorous plant, dying in an endless cycle... until he had a mental breakdown.

Even though Linta had been rescued, his experience still made the other members of the Crystal Eye tribe feel uneasy.

They had not paid much attention to Laplace's warning before. After all, the reason Laplace gave was a little hard to believe: someone discovered through danger sensing that this copy was extremely dangerous.

And this person with the ability to sense danger is a tiny cuphead.

It would be fine if it was someone from the Dream Mirror Organization who gave the warning, but the Crystal Eyes didn't quite believe Cuphead's warning.

But through the situation in the Scale Tower, they realized that Cuphead's danger sense was real!

The Crystal Eyes people, who had been very calm, also began to panic. They could ignore other people, but the prophet of the previous generation was still trapped in Ethan's dream!

So, this is the scene that Laplace saw when he first arrived.

All the Crystal Eyed people in the entire valley were plunged into sorrow.

Because of Laplace's warning, no one dared to enter the dungeon; but if they didn't enter the dungeon, they couldn't rescue the previous prophet...

After an anxious wait, Laplace finally arrived, but when Yumada saw that she was alone, her heart sank.

Because in her opinion, what Laplace called "rescue" was to find strong people to form a team to go to the dungeon.

But now...

"……what to do?"

Laplace looked at Yumata's anxious expression and understood what she was thinking at the moment.

She did not keep the secret, and said according to the words she had discussed with Angel before, "I have found a way, but this method requires the consumption of precious items in the Dream Mirror Warehouse."

"So, if you are sure that you need us to rescue you, then all the fairyland items that your people obtained when they left the Ethan's Dream dungeon will belong to us to make up for the consumption."

"If the items we get are mediocre and cannot make up for our consumption, then we will need to draw up a further contract."

"After all, we can't waste precious items in vain."

With Angel's ability, he can certainly easily and directly guide those trapped in the copy to find Ethan.

However, Angle did not intend to rescue for free.

In the early days of pioneering, he could protect the various tribes, but he didn't want to be a "nanny" who had to put out fires wherever there were fires.

Even if he doesn't need those wonderland props, he has to let them know that there is no free lunch in the world and rescue is never given unconditionally.

Of course, this is just one of the reasons.

There is also one most important reason, which is that if he wants to guide everyone to find Ethan, he must use the God's perspective to convey the message to the challengers trapped in the copy.

In order to justify this ability, Angel can only use the reason of consuming "precious items".

The world has its own rules. I have used up the precious props, so I can't ask for nothing. Therefore, Laplace's words come into being.

On the other hand, Yumada didn't think anything was wrong after listening to Laplace's story.

She also knew that the other party would not provide free rescue.

If it was really free rescue, she might be wary. After all, she was not a fool. Free things were the most expensive. She understood this prop.

"Of course no problem!" Yumada nodded without hesitation: "Everything is up to you!"

Seeing Yumada's eager look, Laplace gave her a deep look and said, "Since you agree, that's good. Because before I came here, we had already consumed a precious exploration item and had a preliminary understanding of the 'Ethan's Dream' dungeon."

Yumada nodded in understanding: "The consumption of this exploration tool will also be counted towards this rescue operation!"

Laplace looked satisfied: "Okay, then I will tell you the situation in detail."

"After our investigation, we found that this copy was actually Ethan's dream. And because it was a dream, he would be resurrected immediately after dying in it..."

"You should have a general understanding of the background of this instance. It is related to war. But what you don't know is that the opponents of this war are countless monsters... The sawtooth carnivorous plant that Scale Tower encountered is also one of the monsters."

"In addition to this, there is another crucial background information in this copy, which is: in this war, everyone in Ethan's camp died except Ethan himself."

"That's why there is only one way to survive, and that is to find Ethan..."

Next, Laplace repeated everything that Angel had said before.

Yumada also learned about this background information for the first time. She now understood that Laplace was not lying to them. To be able to understand the background information of the dungeon in such detail and even infer the conditions for clearing the dungeon through this information, the exploration item they consumed must be very extraordinary!
"The rescue method is actually very simple. We have a special one-time item that can retrieve and locate Ethan's position. Then, through a rare voice transmission item I got, I can transmit Ethan's position to the people in the copy, allowing them to quickly find Ethan."

"At that time, as long as they meet up with Ethan, they will basically have cleared the level."

"However, this kind of passage, I guess the exploration level won't be very high, but at least I survived..."

After listening to this, Yumada nodded in agreement.

If it is true that Laplace can reunite with Ethan as he said, then there should be no problem with this copy. After all, Ethan is the only one who survived, and he must have a way to leave alive.

But Yumada was a little worried. Even if she sent a message to the people in the copy, what would they do if they encountered danger on their way to find Ethan?
Laplace said calmly, "There is no absolutely worry-free solution. This is the limit of what we can do. If you don't even dare to take this little risk, then what kind of explorer are you?"

Yumada nodded silently.

Also.

Since you dare to enter the Wonderland dungeon as an explorer, you must take certain risks. How can you pass the level without taking any risks?

Laplace: "If you have decided, I will use my items now to find out Ethan's location."

Yumada nodded without hesitation: "Okay."

Laplace said nothing more. Under the gaze of everyone, she slowly walked to the crystal creation of "Ethan's Dream".

At this moment, in the sight of others, there was only Laplace in front of the crystal creation in the distance.

But the truth is, Angel is also near the crystal creation, but he has become invisible through illusion, so no one can see him except Laplace.

Angel: “Did you bring it?”

Laplace nodded: "Of course."

After she finished speaking, Laplace waved her hand gently, and a small golden TV flew out from her robe.

There is no doubt that this small golden TV is Turing.

Angel can go offline and then log back online to reach the entrance of Ethan's Dream dungeon, but Turing can't do that because it can't go offline.

Therefore, if Turing wanted to get here, he had to either fly here or follow Laplace out of the Word Manor and come from Rabbit Town. ——Because Laplace entered the Word Manor from Rabbit Town.

After Turing flew out, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Yumata: Could this small golden cube be the tool that Laplace mentioned for locating Ethan?
While Yumada was guessing, Laplace came over and said, "This is my assistant Turing. I have given him the special item. As for the reason, you will know it later."

After saying that, Laplace looked at Turing and said, "Use the positioning props."

Turing nodded cooperatively, his whole body began to glow, and the small TV screen began to flicker continuously.

Although the screen flickered very quickly, Yumada caught it. A large number of images appeared on the screen. These images were a bit like a bird's-eye view of a mountain forest map...

And the copy of "Ethan's Dream" is in a mountain forest!
