Secret Dice

thumb?

Luo Jun frowned slightly. During this period, he had encountered more than five black shops in the maze. He often encountered repeated finger merchants, but from beginning to end, he only saw the index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger, never seen them before. thumb.

At first, Luo Jun thought that which finger he encountered depended on luck, but now it seems that the thumb seems to have a special status and cannot be seen through normal means.

Luo Jun followed the ring finger into the portal. After the space was distorted for a while, the two came to a dark and empty space. In front of them was a huge circular altar with complex textures carved on it and a circle of torches burning around it. Light up the center. There is a strange-shaped stone seat in the middle of the altar. Sitting on it is a finger merchant. Because of his special body shape, his posture is very strange. The thumb is at the top and the belly of the finger is an old face with a beard.

Is this the thumb? It looks completely different from the other fingers. Although there is no movement, there is a faint pressure.

"Why did you bring an outsider here?" Thumb looked at the ring finger and asked in a deep voice.

"He is not an ordinary outsider." Ring Finger nodded slightly: "He has helped his teammates clear the infinite maze!"

Thumb frowned slightly: "I felt that someone cleared the level not long ago... but I didn't expect that someone actually had the ability to clear the level, but chose to stay."

"He not only stays, but also changes this maze." The ring finger said: "He is immune to the replacement of chaotic matter!"

"What?!" The thumb also showed a surprised look at this time: "The chaotic race that invaded the maze has a very strong natural corrosive ability. You can even resist this. Are you a feather?"

"No..." Thumb himself denied this guess: "Only the spirit of an immortal and the body of a saint can resist replacement, but these two levels of existence will not be involved in Class A missions. What method did you use? Can resist the erosion and replacement of the Chaos race? "

"I have my own way." Luo Jun smiled and said, "You just need to tell me how to restore this maze to its original state."

The body of a saint and the spirit of an immortal?

Luo Jun shook his head secretly, how did he know these things in the first place? The confidence that he dared to use his body to try to contain a large monster came from the judgment of the dice.

I still remember that when he determined that there was a problem with the chicken wing, the severity factor given by the dice was six times. If he was really going to be replaced, it should be twelve times. Even if there is a solution to the problem of substitution, there is still a risk of death. It should be at least ten times the bottom. It is only six times, which means that if you eat it, you will have vomiting and diarrhea for a few days...

Others who eat the Chaos material that is almost certain to die can only cause physical discomfort to Luo Jun, which shows that his resistance to Chaos replacement is far greater than that of others.

After digesting the two monsters, Luo Jun could feel that his vitality did have an inhibitory effect on the chaos monsters, but it was difficult to completely eliminate them. His physical body is also strong enough to resist the replacement of monsters to a certain extent, but it cannot completely eliminate the impact and will be in a stalemate balance.

If there was only vitality, Luo Jun would probably be like Ailontan, with his mind stagnant and relying only on vitality to resist. When the vitality was exhausted, the replacement would continue.

If he only relied on his body, Luo Jun would probably linger in the pain of replacement, as if he had a serious chronic disease that could not be cured and would not worsen, living in pain.

Luo Jun could feel that he had not reached the two standards of saint body and immortal aura, but he had barely touched the edge. The combination of the two gave Luo Jun the ability to completely kill the chaos monster!

And this also gave Luo Jun a hint of reverie.

Since Immortal Qi is the Yuan Qi of the Feathering Realm, then the concentration of his own Yuan Qi should not be too different from that of the Feathering Realm. According to the master, except for the rare races that have disappeared in the legend, the physical strength of other races is limited. In other words, the current Ascension Realm only has the aura of an immortal and does not have the body of a saint!

So, if I can really go one step further, is there a chance to obtain the true immortal aura and the body of a saint at the same time?

In that case, wouldn't it be called the most powerful person above all the feathers? Is it even possible to reach that higher realm?

Thinking of this, Luo Jun's heart surged, but soon, this fire of hope was extinguished again.

He has already consolidated his roots and cultivated his energy at the ninth level, and has cultivated to the highest level. There is no possibility of going any further, and the tendency to concentrate his mind has never appeared. It is very likely that he is stuck at this final threshold.

What made him even more desperate was that after breaking through the ninth level of Peiyuan Realm, his cultivation progress plummeted.

Luo Jun was quite excited at first, because the last time this happened was when he went from the seventh level to the eighth level of the Solid Realm, and his upper limit was raised!

Could it be said that there is still a tenth level of Peiyuan realm that can be broken through?

But soon, this fire of hope was extinguished.

Because Luo Jun discovered that the progress of cultivation this time was not simply slow, but constantly shrinking.

Every time the progress increases by one point, the speed of cultivation will be slower. According to this trend, eventually his cultivation progress will be stuck at a certain bottleneck and he will never be able to go further.

His path of cultivation seemed to have really come to an end.

But without trying it, Luo Jun still refuses to give up... The flow of time in this endless maze is much slower than in the real world. As long as there is no pressure to survive, this is a wonderful place to practice. Luo Jun can completely improve his practice here. progress, don’t worry about the passage of time.

This is another reason why he chose to stay!

"End all this?" Thumb chuckled: "Without the help of the diary, you can't even find the exit. How dare you say such nonsense?"

"Do you even know about the diary?" Luo Jun's diary was obtained from the white store, and he probably never mentioned it to the black store.

Thumb heard this and laughed: "Who do you think wrote the diary you read?"

Luo Jun frowned and looked at his thumb: "Are you Zhuge Qian?"

"Yes... and no." Thumb shook his head and said: "Before Zhuge Qian entered this task, the Black Store and Thumb already existed. Thumb is the center that exists to maintain the function of the Black Store. It must be powerful enough. . So those who die in the maze, the most powerful challengers, we will find a way to absorb them and integrate them into the thumb."

"It can be said that the current thumb is a collection of many powerful people."

Luo Jun heard this and analyzed: "What happened to the diary? Why is it missing? Who tore off the key parts?"

Thumb smiled: "Of course it's me!"

"After Zhuge Qian died, he used his last strength to leave this diary. But after integrating the thumb, I know that the content of the last part of the diary is actually wrong."

"The four people Zhuge Qian completely fell into the trap of chaotic creatures in the later stage. A Liang among them was replaced by chaotic matter and attacked by the black shop, which caused them to completely distrust the black shop, and they believed until their death that eating Get food made of chaotic matter and complete it. The challenge on the second floor of the rest area is the correct way to pass the level. I even regretted eating the food from the black store... If this diary is seen by others later, it may mislead the challenger and become more and stronger. Chaos creature, so I tore up the last part."

"But I soon discovered that without this diary, subsequent challengers would still be easily misled by the rules and bewitched by chaotic creatures. This diary is our only means of passing information to future generations. So. I picked up the ones that were torn off again Diaries, but due to the rules, I cannot restore them to the original diaries. I can only make some selections from these diaries, delete the misleading ones, and throw the rest into the maze. , let you find and piece together effective information.”

"I don't think the ones I found are any less misleading." Luo Jun shrugged: "For example, on the last page, it solemnly reminds you not to eat food from black shops. I have believed it for a long time. ”

"But you did find the key to clearing the level through this page, didn't you?" Thumb smiled: "This page, and the penultimate page, I struggled for a long time as to which page to keep. In the end, I kept it. Last page."

"On the penultimate page, although the content of the challenge on the second floor of the rest area is recorded in detail, Zhuge Qian at that time completely misunderstood the truth behind the challenge. The large sections of subjective assumptions in it will only mislead you more. Even worse, it’s better to just say don’t eat food from black shops, which will give you room to think. As long as you are smart enough and think more about why you can’t eat it, there is still hope to break the situation.”

"Then why don't you just tell us?" Luo Jun asked, "Wouldn't it be faster to just tell the challenger the truth about the maze?"

Thumb shook his head: "Although we have formed our own power, we are still bound by rules. As a store, even information must be exchanged at equal value, even if we want to reveal it ourselves."

Luo Jun remembered the previous situation of exchanging gold ingots for information. And this time, the woman also took two gold ingots stained with saliva before bringing him to this hidden space.

"Of course, if you have guessed the key part, we can still make some simple additions." The ring finger on the side said: "And essentially, our positions are different from those of the challengers. They want to go out, and our purpose It is to prevent chaotic creatures from invading the main world. If necessary, it may be more preferable to trap all challengers in the maze. "

"I understand your difficulties." Luo Jun nodded: "Now back to my question, how to end all this? I think our positions are finally consistent on this matter, right?"

"Is it over..." Thumb sighed: "That's all, we have tried countless times anyway. One more time for you is not too much, and one time for you less is not a lot... Do you still have the gold ingot?"

"You have to exchange money for information here?" Luo Jun asked curiously.

"This is a space created by ourselves, but it is still bound by the rules of the maze." Thumb said: "The information I gave you before is considered a discount, but for what I am going to say next, you have to pay."

"The gold ingot is gone..." Luo Jun shrugged and suddenly took out a card from the equipment bag: "But do you recycle props here? Even a discount is enough, right?"

"The Void Pass?" Thumb's eyes widened a bit. This is a top-notch item that requires ten gold ingots to be redeemed.

"Okay, I can make an exception." Thumb nodded. As soon as he raised his hand, the pass in Luo Jun's hand slowly floated up and automatically flew to Thumb.

"Everyone has been looking for the exit after entering this maze, but few people have thought about such a question..." Thumb looked at Luo Jun and said slowly: "Where is the entrance to this maze?"

"Entrance?" Luo Jun was stunned, "Isn't that the starting point?"

As he spoke, he also took out the origin pointer, but found that this prop seemed to malfunction here. The pointer was spinning randomly, and the value representing the distance was also jumping randomly.

"The origin is just the place where you were teleported in." Thumb shook his head: "That position is random, not a fixed entrance. Just like the exit is connected to the main world, the entrance to the maze should also have a door connected to a certain place in the outside world."

"The outside world..." Luo Jun rolled his eyes. In addition to the challengers who were doing the task, what else could enter this maze from the outside?

"You mean, the passage for those chaotic creatures to enter this maze?" Luo Jun widened his eyes.

Thumb nodded: "Yes, although we have not yet grasped the exact location, but all signs indicate that there is indeed an entrance that continuously lets in chaotic creatures. We even speculate that it may be constantly changing its position like the exit."

"So, as long as I can find the entrance and destroy it..." Luo Jun's eyes lit up: "Can I cut off the source of chaotic creatures?"

"You have seen the exit, and you should have experienced how difficult it is to destroy that door." Thumb said: "The entrance is likely to be of the same level, and it may not be destroyed... But at least, if you can really find the entrance, it should be very helpful to eliminate these chaotic creatures."

"Do you have any clues?" Luo Jun asked.

Thumb shook his head: "We have been trying to find it for many years, and we have only grasped some vague clues. It is still a long way from finding it. After all, the existence of the entrance is not within the rules of the maze. It should be considered a BUG. In the maze, there are almost no props and hints for the entrance, and there is no way to find it."

"I haven't found it for so many years..." Luo Jun sighed slightly. Thinking of the scale of this maze, he was a little overwhelmed.

Thumb sighed: "We are dead people after all. It seems that we have integrated into this maze, become part of the rules, and have obtained certain authority. But from another perspective, we are also firmly restricted by the rules of the maze. There are many things we can't do, and we can't intervene... But you are different!"

As he said, Thumb looked at Luo Jun: "You are free in the maze, and the power you have is enough to break the long-standing balance. Maybe, with your help, we really have the possibility of ending it all!"

"It's just that finding a place that shouldn't exist in this endless maze may be a long-term project!"

"It doesn't matter!" Luo Jun looked at Thumb: "As long as there is hope, time, I have plenty!"
