A million ways to survive in the dungeon

"What a weird dungeon."

Facing the gate of Rodinia Underground City in front of him, Zhao Aotian couldn't help but marvel.

According to the coordinates provided by the three old men in the mountain, Zhao Aotian quickly found the entrance to the Rodinia Underground City.

It is different from the general dungeon gate.

Generally, the gate of an underground city is a black copper gate that is thirty to forty meters high. Some are leaning against the mountain, and some are simply standing alone in the open space.

The door itself has spatial characteristics similar to any door. You can directly see the back of the door, but when the door is opened, you will be transported to the space of the dungeon.

Rodinia Underground City is different.

Its door is "lying" on the ground.

In addition, the land of the Rodinia Dynasty has long been abandoned, and there are deserts and sandstorms everywhere.

Even if you find the gate, within three hours the dust will cover it again.

As the door opened, a dark and humid cave suddenly appeared in the dry and hot desert.

It was as if the earth suddenly opened a huge mouth, waiting for the prey to jump into it.

Zhao Aotian did not rush in, but froze on the spot.

He was a little uneasy.

He glanced down at his hands.

The hands are shaking slightly.

I am now tasked with taking out the secret treasure, but why can't I get His Majesty's death out of my mind?

Zhao Aotian felt that his back was too heavy.

There is obviously nothing, but it is like carrying a huge mountain on your back.

Shaking his head and forcing distracting thoughts out of his mind, Zhao Aotian pulled out the holy sword from his waist and jumped down from the gate of Rodinia Underground City.

A crunch.

As Zhao Aotian entered, the door slowly closed.

The wind and sand in the sky quickly buried the door and the traces of Zhao Aotian's arrival, as if he had never existed.

Level 0, like all dungeons, is a damp cave with only one kind of monster, the miniature mole rat.

There is nothing to say about the process. Zhao Aotian, a rookie with a single-digit level, has no interest in wielding a sword. He often waves his hand and the wind blade wipes out all the magic moles in one direction.

The demonic beasts are not retarded either. After three or five attacks, no demonic mole dared to take the initiative to attack again.

Soon, Zhao Aotian found the entrance to the first floor.

There was no hesitation this time, Zhao Aotian jumped down and reached the first floor.

boom!

The moment Zhao Aotian landed, the torches on both sides of the wall suddenly lit up.

Zhao Aotian was stunned.

He found himself in a narrow passage.

This is the first floor of Rodinia Underground City.

It is surrounded by walls made of yellow bricks as big as a Zheng shield, with a large number of rough and incomprehensible murals on them.

The corridor is very narrow, just enough for one person to pass through, and he must be a person of medium stature like Zhao Aotian.

If it was Katcher who came to this floor, the most likely reason is that he was squeezed to death by the walls here because he was too big, right?

There are torches hung on the walls on both sides of the corridor. As long as you move forward, the torches in front of you will automatically light up, and the torches behind you will automatically go out.

The orange firelight maintained visibility of exactly ten meters.

It feels like you are in the Pharaoh's pyramid.

"Hi~hoo~"

Zhao Aotian breathed hard involuntarily.

Not only was this corridor quiet, but he could clearly feel the powerful aura coming from the front.

Although it was impossible to see how long the tunnel was in the dark environment.

But I could still feel the aura that was so dense that it seemed like I was being squeezed in.

There's something, right in front.

The three old men in the mountain said that as the original underground city, the Rodinia Underground City was most likely a trial work of the underground city in the Hadean period.

Because compared to other dungeons, the first level is an independent plane, so vast that it seems endless, this Rodinia dungeon is simply pitifully small.

Each floor is only as big as a street.

There is only one boss on each level.

Then there is no doubt that the source of this aura is the first-level boss.

Zhao Aotian calmed down and stepped forward.

Soon, it suddenly became clear.

At the end of the corridor is a hemispherical grotto with a diameter of three to four hundred meters.

The moment Zhao Aotian entered the grotto.

The strong wind driven by the overwhelming aura caused him to lean back a little.

In the middle of the field, a giant turtle with a body length of thirty meters is crawling.

It is said to be a giant turtle, but it has a dragon head.

"Oh, what a big turtle."

Zhao Aotian tilted his head and smiled bitterly.

That is what the three old men in the mountain call the boss on the first floor of Rodinia Underground City: Xuanwu.

It can be seen that the turtle shell, which is as thick as a rock, is covered with scars, many of which are traces of magical burns.

Even the four turtle legs are as rough as tree bark.

This is proof that this boss is battle-hardened.

It was as if he was aware of someone's presence.

Xuanwu slowly opened his eyelids that looked like cracked earth.

"Ouch!~"

A dragon's roar resounded throughout the world, and the strong wind blew Zhao Aotian back a step.

Xuanwu took out his four legs like ground stakes and rushed towards Zhao Aotian without saying a word.

However, Zhao Aotian held the holy sword in his hand, but his expression remained unchanged when facing such a ferocious beast.

"Qiang is indeed very strong, but in the end he is just a first-level boss, and he is injured."

[Nine Swords of the War King* God’s Mansion Falling into the Sky]

With enough fighting spirit, Zhao Aotian jumped up and struck down with his sword in the air.

Xuanwu's eyes widened suddenly.

The speed was so fast that it couldn't react.

【basalt shield】

Xuanwu quickly activated the magic element, and his body was immediately covered with a barrier that looked like it was condensed with hexagonal citrine.

However.

A clanging sound.

The holy sword, shining brightly, cut through this barrier as easily as a hot knife cuts through butter.

Xuanwu's pupils shrank instantly.

Zhao Aotian landed lightly in front of his chin.

Turning his back to it, he swung the holy sword in his hand, leaving an arc-shaped blood stain on the ground like splashing ink.

Immediately afterwards, a crash was heard.

Xuanwu's head was immediately separated from his neck.

The blood spurted most of the cave's ceiling into a blood-red mess.

Just one blow.

The first-level boss Xuanwu was killed by Zhao Aotian's sword.

Along with the loud rumbling sound, the entire cave trembled violently.

The huge body fell heavily to the ground.

Zhao Aotian turned his head halfway and glanced at the huge corpse indifferently without saying a word.

After confirming that Xuanwu's HP had returned to zero, Zhao Aotian put the sword back into its scabbard.

Much weaker than expected.

No, should I become stronger?

Zhao Aotian frowned.

If it were me now, I should be comparable to the Candle Dragon Emperor I saw for the first time in the dungeon, right?

But at this moment.

Xuanwu's body suddenly emitted a silvery glow.

His body was reduced to ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the center of the body cavity, a huge key shining with golden light was suspended in the air.

It was a key as big as a sword, all golden in color, with a tongue as sharp as a knife and edged, and even a sword-like guard on the handle.

Rather than saying this is a key, it is more appropriate to say it is a key-shaped sword.

The human key.

This is one of the secret treasures of the Rodinia Underground City mentioned by the three old men in the mountain.

As soon as Zhao Aotian stretched out his hand, the human key was drawn by his fighting spirit and fell into his hand.

As soon as I took it, I felt a heat flow flowing into my body along my palm.

Zhao Aotian was surprised to find that even after killing Xuanwu, he did not improve at all. As soon as he obtained the Human Key, his level was raised from lv110 to lv118.

"So, can just a trace of the secret treasure bring amazing improvements to mankind?"

Zhao Aotian couldn't help but sigh.

After upgrading to level eight, I can reach lv160 or above by using Transformation God. If I use divine power again, I'm afraid I can touch the threshold of lv200, right?

I can upgrade my level to 8 levels in a row at such a high level, so if an ordinary warrior gets it, how big of an improvement will it be?

Back then, the three old men in the mountain couldn't defeat Xuanwu, so they used magic to penetrate Xuanwu's body and get into it, hoping to break it from the inside.

I never thought that the hardness inside Xuanwu's body and outside was exactly the same, so this method was completely ineffective.

But because of this, the three old men in the mountain touched the human key, and their levels were astonishingly improved.

Of course, this human key is not really a secret treasure.

According to the documents found by the Three Elders in the Mountain in the Rodinia Underground City, there should be four similar secret treasures in total, one on each floor, and each one is held by a boss.

Collect four secret treasures and go to the final level to kill the final boss to unlock the final restriction and obtain the [True Secret Treasures] left by humans in the previous era.

"Just right."

Zhao Aotian drew his holy sword Aiolia.

After just one slash, this brand new holy sword has already curled up, and the blade is full of cracks. I'm afraid it will be completely damaged if it is used again.

And this human key can be used as a sword, making up for Zhao Aotian's current weakness of lacking weapons.

Just exploring this first floor, the goods received are already very rich.

Zhao Aotian did not hesitate and walked towards the exit at the other end of the cave.

Situ Zhou has left.

Situ Xing didn't know if he had what it took to become a king.

Not to mention all mankind, the only one Sichuan East can rely on now is me.

At least three levels must be laid before we can have enough strength to continue to protect Sichuan East.

Zhao Aotian rushed into the second floor of Rodinia Underground City without hesitation.
