Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3761 Positioning
The screen flashed for about ten seconds, and Turing said in a mechanical voice: "Location has begun. Do you want to show the map of this wonderland?"

Laplace nodded: "Show it."

The next second, a bird's-eye view map of the forest appeared on the small TV screen.

This map looks like a rectangular terrain. There is a scale marked in the upper left corner of the small TV. By converting the scale, we can know that this map is about 40 kilometers long from north to south and about 20 kilometers wide from east to west, with a total area of ​​about 800 square kilometers.

Because it is a bird's eye view from a high altitude, the perspective is like the eyes of God outside the garden, scanning the mountains and forests in the garden.

The entire mountain forest is not flat, but has obvious ups and downs, various terrains and vegetation types, and even a small snowy valley, as well as a scorched earth volcano corresponding to the snowy valley.

Normally, it would be difficult to present two completely different ice and fire landforms in such a small map, but this small garden map appeared...

"Special landforms are not natural. According to the detection of props, high-energy reactions can be detected in the center of special landforms. If nothing unexpected happens, these special landforms have corresponding high-energy creatures." Turing said.

"For example, that volcano may have fire elemental creatures or powerful fire monsters. Because of the influence of their own energy, they have changed the surrounding terrain..."

"There are currently more than 3,000 high-energy reaction points of various sizes scattered across the entire map."

At this point, dense red dots appeared on the bird's-eye view map on the screen.

According to Turing, each red dot corresponds to a high-energy reaction point.

If there is a monster at every high-energy reaction point, in other words, there are at least more than three thousand monsters.

Of course, the above is just speculation.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for there to be only one monster at a high-energy reaction point. It is very likely that there is a group of monsters, or even a whole area full of monsters.

Therefore, the actual number of monsters will only be more than the number shown on the map, not less.

"This..." Yumuda looked at the dense red dots and a hint of disbelief flashed in her eyes.

If this map is the map of Ethan's Dream, then from the high-energy reaction points on the current map we can tell how terrifying this copy is.

This scene was too shocking. Yumada made a "gulp" sound in her throat and swallowed the saliva secreted by extreme nervousness with difficulty: "Is this true?"

Turing nodded and replied in a mechanical voice: "It's true. However, the high-energy reaction points I explored do not represent all of them. There may be some monsters that hide their energy aura."

In other words, more than three thousand high-energy reaction points are not the limit!

Yumada was silent for a moment, then asked, "How strong are these monsters?"

Turing shook his head: "This cannot be quantified, but the places with the most violent high-energy reactions..."

The scorched earth volcanoes, snowy mountains and glaciers, foggy swamps, bare cliffs on the screen... these places were circled in red by Turing.

"If the monsters here are classified according to the strength of human wizards, they are at least at the official wizard level, or even higher... and their number is unknown."

Yumada naturally knew the concept of formal wizard level.

Among the huge Crystal Eye Clan, there are only a few who have reached the formal wizard level.

In this copy, there are at least four or even more monsters that have reached the official wizard level.

This kind of copy...

"No wonder Ms. Laplace came here to warn us. This is simply not a copy we can conquer at this stage." Yumada's muttering to herself was unanimously affirmed by the other Crystal Eye guards around her.

This kind of fairyland copy, even if all the Crystal Eye guards present have recovered their real strength, they may not be able to conquer it perfectly.

This copy is simply not on the same level as other copies discovered so far.

"Why does a copy of this level suddenly appear?" Many people couldn't help but ask.

Laplace shook his head. "No one knows the answer to this question at the moment. The advent and opening of the Wonderland dungeon has its own logic."

"It won't just descend into low-level or even harmless copies just because the creatures in the Dream Crystal Origin are weak."

"I told you before that the reason I came to warn you is because Huici sensed that this copy is very dangerous. But..." Laplace paused and glanced at everyone: "Ethan's Dream is not the most dangerous copy Huici has sensed. There is another copy that Huici even felt extremely depressed just by looking at it from a distance. That copy is the most dangerous copy at the moment."

Yumada seemed to have thought of something: "You mean..."

Laplace turned around and looked towards the northwest. "Yes, it's the first restricted area that the guide told you about after you entered the Dream Crystal Plain: Crystal Mountain."

"That crystal mountain is actually a huge replica, and its danger level is far greater than Ethan's Dream."

"Compared to Crystal Mountain, Ethan's Dream may not even be a small shrimp." Laplace: "That copy, if you enter it at this stage, there is only one outcome..."

Laplace did not say what the outcome would be, but everyone present understood that there was only one outcome: expulsion.

Either you go offline after entering the dungeon and cannot log back in; or you die in that dungeon.

No matter which situation it is, it means being completely removed from Dream Crystal Origin.

Laplace turned around and looked at everyone: "And the Crystal Mountain came a long time ago, even earlier than Ethan's Dream. So, don't underestimate any Fairyland copy, and don't underestimate the Fairyland copy."

Perhaps it is because a lot of relatively low-risk copies have appeared recently, causing many people to lose their sense of awe, and as soon as many copies are created, people go to open up the land, without caring about the consequences at all.

Ethan's Dream appeared at this moment and gave all challengers a big slap in the face.

Everyone was silent for a while, including Yumada, and they all lowered their heads.

After a while, Laplace said calmly:
"From now on, Rabbit Town's City Hall will announce the danger level of the dungeons that have appeared at regular intervals. If you want to challenge a dungeon, it's best to go to the City Hall first and make a long-term plan."

If it were before, Laplace would definitely not be able to detect the danger level of the copy, even with Angel's help, this task would not be accomplished.

But now, with Huici's talent, the degree of danger can be determined.

This is definitely a good thing for those who intend to challenge the dungeon in the future.

Yumada nodded: "I understand. I will inform everyone in the Crystal Eye Tribe about this matter."

Laplace said no more and looked at Turing: "Let's get back to the topic. Have you found Ethan's coordinates?"

Turing nodded: "The location has been successfully located. Do you want to display it?"

Under the expectant gazes of Yumada and the others, Laplace nodded slightly: "Show it."

The next second, all the red dots on the small TV screen that previously indicated high-energy reactions disappeared, and were replaced by a green dot of light.

The location of this green light spot is in the upper right corner of the map, near a bare cliff.

"Is this where Ethan is?" Yumada looked at the green dot.

Turing nodded: "Yes, inside this mountain."

Turing also marked that there was a cave under the cliff that could be entered. Ethan was deep in the cave.

Yumuda also saw the entrance to the cave, which was covered by a large area of ​​trees and was under a cliff. Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult to find Ethan.

In other words, without Turing's location, all challengers who entered this instance would probably end up encountering monsters and dying in an endless cycle. It would be impossible to find Ethan...

But then again.

Yumada stared at the position where Ethan was: "Why do I feel that this position seems a little familiar... Isn't this one of those high-energy reaction points?"

Turing had previously demonstrated several reaction points with the highest energy. According to Turing, there was a high probability that formal wizard-level monsters existed at these reaction points.

Ice fields, volcanoes, foggy swamps, and cliffs.

And Ethan is located on this last cliff.

"That's right." Turing: "Although I also find it strange, but according to the positioning, Ethan is indeed here. Perhaps the monsters here are relatively friendly? Or is this monster now sleeping?"

There was a flash of thought in Yumada's eyes. According to Turing's guess, the probability of the former was not high.

Since they are hostile and no one survives except Ethan in the end, there can't be any friendly monsters.

Therefore, the probability is the latter. This monster is in a state where it cannot attack. It may be dormant, or it may be bound by some unknown force.

But the other monsters didn't know this. They didn't dare and couldn't go to this place to search for outsiders.

Perhaps, it was precisely because of the "darkness under the lamp" that Ethan escaped.

Thinking about it this way, it is understandable that Ethan became the only survivor.

Laplace: "Okay, put aside any ideas or speculations you have, and let's get back to the issue of rescue."

Yumada immediately put away her thoughts and looked at Laplace.

Laplace: "Currently, there are two types of people trapped in the instance, and the living ones are relatively easy to save."

"You just need to memorize the points on the map, whether it's Ethan's location or the high-energy reaction point, as soon as possible. Then give the map to the living people who have gone offline, and let them find a safe route to Ethan's location."

Yumuta nodded. She naturally understood that the fact that living people can communicate offline is their biggest advantage. It can be called a "living plug-in."

With this map and punctuation, the surviving group of people should be able to quickly locate their location and then plan a route to find Ethan.

Yumada is not too worried about the issue of living people at the moment. The most important issue is the issue of "dead people".

"As for the second type, the new residents of Dream Crystal who have died in reality, they can't log off and can't see the map, so we can only use special sound transmission props to contact them in the copy and help them plan a route. Or, let them stay in a safe place and let the living come to rescue them."

Laplace: "This kind of sound transmission tool is extremely valuable..."

Yumada: "I understand. I will reimburse you. If the quality of the Wonderland props is not good enough, the real props can be used to make up for it."

Since Yumada was so understanding, Laplace said nothing more and looked at Turing: "Use the props to search for challengers who are still in the instance."

Turing: "Received, search has started."

The screen of the small TV began to flash again, and there was a cursor in the middle that kept spinning, as if reminding everyone that it was in a searching state.

However, the reality is——

Turing discussed with Ingres, who was hiding nearby, through communication of consciousness to confirm the presentation effect of the image on the screen.

The previous bird's-eye view map and various high-energy reaction points were all images transmitted by Angel through his consciousness.

About three minutes later, Turing's screen showed the bird's-eye view of the map again, but this time there were three more human icons on the map, and these icons were distributed in different positions.

Turing: "There are currently three challengers in the dungeon."

Yumada nodded repeatedly: "That's right, in addition to the people who have logged off, there are still three people in the dungeon!"

Turing: "Their positions are as follows."

"Do you want to start contacting?"

Turing turned to Yumada and naturally asked her the question.

Yumada did not answer immediately, but looked carefully at the positions of the three people, while comparing them with the positions of the high-energy reaction points in her previous memory.

Fortunately, none of the three were near the high-energy reaction point.

If nothing unexpected happened, they should not have been targeted by the monsters yet.

Yumada breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Start contacting."

"Already in contact, currently locking onto position one." Turing's screen flashed, with a small figure in the south being magnified, and a panting sound coming from inside.

"Hoohoo... Why is this place so big? Will the Prophet be nearby?"

When she heard the voice, Yumada immediately said, "This is Bouda! He is the guard of the previous prophet!"

"Who is talking?" The little man in the picture asked in surprise, as if he heard Yumada's voice.

Yumada was surprised to find that Turing had a line of words on the screen: "You are in a call, he can hear you. The contact time is limited, please explain the situation as soon as possible."

After he finished speaking, a five-minute countdown appeared above him.

Seeing this, Yumuda didn't dare to exchange pleasantries. She introduced herself very quickly and then talked to Baota about the current situation of the copy.

When Pouda learned that the copy was so dangerous, he was also shocked.

Because he hadn't encountered any unusual dangers so far, he thought this dungeon was just an ordinary exploration. Who would have thought that this dungeon had at least thousands of powerful monsters?

Yumada quickly explained the situation and asked about Bowata's current condition. After confirming that he was fine, she told him to find a safe place nearby and wait. She would send someone to pick him up and then send Bowata to Ethan's coordinates.

The reason why Pouta was not allowed to go to the cliff alone was mainly because Pouta could not see the specific map situation, and it would be disastrous if he accidentally entered a high-energy reaction point.

But for challengers who are offline, Yumada can directly reproduce the map for them so that they can remember every detail.

In comparison, it is obviously more appropriate for the offline player to take over Pouta.

After contacting Bouta, Yumata contacted two other people, one of whom was the prophet of the previous generation.

Fortunately, just like the situation with Bota before, they are currently relatively safe. After Yumata explained the same situation to them, the communication ended.
