Who designed this underworld dungeon?

When the new strategy team landed in Kasuga City on a griffon, it naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Gryphons are not easy to raise. Not only are they ferocious and often hurt people, but they also need someone to take care of them when eating and drinking. Otherwise, they will make you sick in a matter of minutes.

It's strange. Griffons that can fly at high speeds should have very good physiques and should not get sick often no matter what. So some people discovered that they only rely on being "sick" to protest to their breeders, demanding better food and living environment.

This is a behavior that only occurs in domesticated griffins. After all, wild griffins cannot find savages to raise them.

Even the viscounts of Kasuga City couldn't afford to raise griffins, and most people in the city had never seen one. When Luluwo and the others landed, naturally some guards came over nervously, wanting to ask something, but they couldn't. Due to the power of the beast, they dare not approach.

No need to guess, they probably wanted to ask Luluo how to place the gryphon, it would be bad if someone was hurt.

Anyone who can sit on a gryphon must be rich or noble, and the humble guard must be careful when dealing with it. He just organized a speech in his mind that should not offend, and before he could speak, he saw Luluwo take it out of his arms. A red and white ball.

She stretched out her hand towards the griffin, and the huge beast turned into a stream of light and was collected into the ball.

"Wow!" The onlookers immediately exclaimed, what did they just see? It's space magic!

How did a huge griffon fit into a small ball the size of a palm?

"What that guy named Roger came up with is really interesting." Luluwo weighed the elf ball and put it into her pocket. She raised her cloak in an exaggerated motion with a flick of her arm, holding her head high. He said coolly: "Let's go, buy some supplies, and then go see how many kilograms there are in Cangyin Dungeon."

In order to increase their speed, they did not bring too much luggage and planned to replenish supplies after arriving at Kasuga City.

"Captain, this is too eye-catching," Berto complained in a low voice: "It would be better to land far away in the forest, and now it will attract a lot of unnecessary attention."

Mi said nonchalantly: "It's not like you don't know her character."

Everyone naturally ignored the onlookers. They were used to being surrounded by people. As they moved forward, the crowd automatically moved out of the way.

"Go and report to the Viscount. The identities of these people must not be simple." After some discussion, the guard hurried away.

Kasuga City is an inconspicuous small town. The only thing that deserves people's attention here is probably the vegetables they produce. All of them are huge in size and abundant in yield, and the taste is also improved compared to ordinary ones - all of these are Rely on the specialties of Cangyin Dungeon.

The vegetables produced here have a certain weight in the market. Whether they are curious or really want to eat them, many people buy them. Many people still want to see what potatoes and onions that are taller than a person look like.

Although Kasuga Castle cannot make a fortune by farming, at least the local residents live a peaceful and stable life, and can occasionally enjoy luxury.

But...

"Why is this place different from what I heard?"

Mi looked at the empty street. This was obviously the largest main road after entering the city. It should have a lot of people.

But the place was empty, and the few passers-by made the place seem even more lonely, so lonely that it seemed like tumbleweeds would roll past here.

It's not completely deserted yet, but this scattered appearance gives people the feeling of gradual decline.

"I remember that there are many caravans with fixed bases here," Mi looked around, "but they are all closed."

The feeling of depression spreads here, but there are many people dressed as adventurers wandering here. It seems that they were attracted by the news of the changes in Cangyin Dungeon.

"It's normal for Kasuga Castle to be like this."

Berto said: "We rely on huge vegetables to survive here, and the industry basically revolves around vegetables. Once it loses its unique advantages, it will soon fall into decline. Think about it, what has appeared in the surrounding areas recently that can replace it? "

"Oh, I understand, it's Thane Dungeon." Mi was no longer confused immediately.

The giant vegetables produced in Kasuga City are characterized by their "hugeness", which satisfies people's curiosity. After a long period of ordinary life, people always want to see something new to stimulate them.

The price of these huge vegetables is not cheap. The taste is better than the ordinary version, but it is also limited and cannot be used as people's daily ingredients.

Therefore, after the food area of ​​Thane Underground City with more exotic and delicious ingredients was opened, Kasuga City declined rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. All the caravans originally stationed here ran away to Bede City. Over time, even There is a loss of local residents.

What's the point of a potato that's bigger than a human being? It's not as good as a whole roasted pig from Thane Dungeon!

Moreover, the output and output speed of ingredients in the gourmet area are much faster than those of giant vegetables that still need to be cultivated, and the prices are even more affordable. Maybe in the future, every household will be able to eat food from the gourmet area.

Just like that, what else can Kasuga City have to compete with?

Mi looked at this city with sympathy in her eyes. This place was perfectly replaced by the Thain Underground City. It is estimated that the local lord is going crazy.

If Gong Qiying were here, he would probably spread his hands innocently.

When he opened the food area, he never imagined that Kasuga City would be in such a tragic situation. What he thought was a very common method actually indirectly destroyed the economy of another city far away.

Maybe this is called a dimensionality reduction attack?

The loss of population naturally means that fewer people enter Cangyin Underground City. If this underground city is conscious, it will die in a hurry. No wonder mutations will occur.

While buying supplies in the store, they saw several adventurers chatting, and they all looked quite embarrassed.

"Why did Cangyin Dungeon suddenly turn into such a ghostly state...::... I walked for a long time and still couldn't find the tree goblin. I guess I won't be able to complete today's commission."

"Are you still considering entrusting it? It's time to run away. There are fewer and fewer people entering, but it turns out that it has mutated and become more dangerous."

"How about we go to Sein next door? My brother has made a lot of money there by picking ingredients."

"Really or not?"

"Really, he bought me this new knife as a gift. It's not cheap."

"Let's go, let's go see Sein!"

During the conversation, the "customers" of Cangyin Dungeon were lost again, and the new strategy team watched in silence for a while.

"Boss, I want to ask you something. Hasn't there been a sudden change in Cangyin Dungeon recently? How is the danger level?" Berto spoke in a familiar manner.

"Heh," the boss smiled contemptuously, "If the dungeon were replaced by a shop, Cangyin would be dead."

As fewer and fewer people came to visit, the boss finally found someone to talk to, and started to complain a lot.

"I don't know what's going on, but a bunch of shit was added inside. It's disgusting. Everyone actually liked the original scenery."

"People go in because of the sap from the tree goblins, but now we can hardly catch the tree goblins. There are a bunch of poisonous clams... Who wants that stuff?"

"The terrain has also become messy, and there is a door that can only be opened by cutting three large vines. Don't you think this is nonsense!"

Thanks to a complaint from the store owner, the new strategy team gathered a wave of intelligence.

"It's similar to the information provided by the count." Luluwo stood in front of the portal in Cangyin Dungeon and said: "It has become more dangerous, more disgusting, and more stingy."

There were only a few people in front of the portal, and people who were used to queuing to enter Thane Dungeon were not used to it.

"Let's go and see what this is."

After passing through the teleportation gate, when the feeling of weightlessness caused by the teleportation gradually disappeared, a stench penetrated everyone's noses.

This feeling is so familiar, isn't it the Fortress of France?

What appeared before everyone's eyes was an endless "swamp" filled with juice from rotten leaves. Although it looked similar, the visual impact was not as impressive as the Flange Fortress where sewage actually flowed across the area.

and.

"It doesn't stink."

Luluwo took a deep breath, showed a puzzled expression, took another breath, and this time she nodded,

He said seriously: "It really doesn't stink."

"It stinks, although not as good as Thane," Berto also twitched his nose and complained, "Captain, you have been assimilated by Thain."

Luluwo was noncommittal and looked around. Three hills stood abruptly on the swamp, and huge vines grew on each hill.

Farther away is a valley, and the passage into the valley is entangled in thick vines.

"Same as intelligence, only by cutting off three vines can you unlock the way into the valley. Inside the valley is the original scene of Cangyin."

This is actually equivalent to Cangyin Dungeon adding an introductory trial to the original one. Only through this alternative "Wolf Blood Trial" can you experience the previous content.

A design full of flaws.

More than half of the people who enter Cangyin Dungeon are workers. The tree goblins are not very powerful in combat, and ordinary people can handle it if they form a team.

But now that the difficulty has been increased, the number of tree goblins has also decreased. Only through such a swamp composed of rotten leaves can we return to the original map. Isn't this just trying to persuade them to quit?

Since the difficulty has been increased, shouldn't the rewards also be increased? Unless the city lord here can't come up with better rewards.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Luluwo felt nostalgic about the first time he entered the Thane Dungeon.

According to the normal process, they should have endured the stench and lurking monsters through the swamp, went through all kinds of hardships to cut off the vines, and then entered the valley.

But Luluwo just wants to do something different now.

Chains protrude from under her cloak, wrapping around her friends and lifting them up one by one. The remaining four chains serve as her feet, so that she can move forward without being stained by smelly water, like Doctor Octopus.

The monsters lurking under the swamp are all confused. The monsters here are all related to plants, and their strength is not high.

There's no way to even hit the new raid group hanging in the air.

The chains were like a meat grinder, killing monsters that dared to show their heads. Luluwo didn't even need to get close to those vines. He only needed to let Esim use fire magic to burn them from a distance.

It can be seen that Cangyin Dungeon uses relatively strong vines, but unfortunately it is not enough to face silver-level adventurers.

In a few minutes, all three vines were destroyed, and the road to the valley was opened.

During this period, Luluwo encountered many traps full of déjà vu.

"You think... those big clams are not imitating curse frogs, right?"

Luluwo pointed to a place where several giant clams with flowers on their backs guarded a white point of light.

"Probably so," Berto said, "I wonder if these clams can spray black mist like the Curse Frog. Captain, what are you doing!"

"Why don't you go and try it yourself~" Luluwo smiled evilly and sent him to the big clam. As expected, these monsters opened their mouths and spat out... light green mucus?

Berto let out a scream of pure disgust.

As for the curse? How could these giant clams exist? The mucus they spit out is at best a little toxic. Luluwo already knew this.

She killed one casually and then opened the hunting manual, but there was no updated information about giant clams.

"Will there only be introductions to the monsters in Thane Dungeon?" She was a little bored and crushed the remaining big clam to death, and gave Bertolt a bath with water magic.

The latter stared at her with resentment.

After walking for a while, Luluwo suddenly pulled out a squirming "person" from the swamp. After a closer look,

This thing is made of plants.

"Is this a skeleton monster imitating Thane?"

Luluwo remembered that Thane's skeleton monster could be resurrected after being dismantled, so she also dismantled the vegetative monster.

There is no resurrection, this monster is really dead.

"boring."

After walking for a while, a huge sphere made of plants fell from the sky and rolled towards them quickly.

The shadow brought by the big iron ball instantly appeared in everyone's heart, and everyone who entered Thain was welcomed by the iron ball.

However, Cangyin's ball is not an iron ball, but a plant ball, so...

"[Flame roaring]!"

Aisi and Em launched a set of fire magic attacks, and the plant ball exploded instantly.

Clear the level without any damage.

"I feel like I'm exploring a low-end version of Thane Dungeon...:" Mi couldn't help but say.

Luluwo yawned and said, "It's not even considered low-profile, it's just a poor imitation."

For a new strategy team with all Silver-level members, this dungeon is too simple, boring to the point of being simple.

But for the people living around it, the changes in the Cangyin Dungeon are really a big trouble. Even a low-end version of Thain-style traps can kill a lot of ordinary people.

There are also some innovative places here, such as tree fruits that explode with blinding flashes, piranha flowers disguised as harmless plants, etc. Luluwo also suffered a loss at first sight.

How should I put it, there is innovation, but the types are too simple, they are all plants.

Once adventurers are on guard and stay away from strange plants when they see them, most of these traps will be useless.

This is probably a problem that many dungeons will encounter. The single available monsters and building system will bring this result.

In comparison, Thane, with all kinds of monsters and buildings emerging one after another, is an outlier, a huge outlier!

"I heard from the boss that a powerful monster will appear in the valley." Luluwo curled his lips and said, "Let's make preparations for now."

Based on what she had just experienced, she didn't think any powerful monster would appear here.

"Pap tap tap..."

There was the sound of treading water not far to the north, and it sounded like the enemy's body was very heavy.

Everyone stared at the valley. When the enemy finally walked out of the shadows and appeared in the sun, everyone was stunned.

Because of that thing....

It has a tall humanoid body, wears armor made of vines, and is painted bronze. It holds a large shield and a large sword. The most distinctive thing is its helmet, which looks like an axe.

This is a monster made of plants. Every part of it seems to have its own consciousness, and it walks crookedly.

This thing is definitely a fusion monster made by the local city lord using different monsters! And, and, "Don't tell me, this thing is a parody of the Crucible Knight."

Everyone's expressions were very strange, because the vegetative man in front of them had the charm of the Knight of the Crucible!

It has the charm of an evil god figure.
