Who designed this underworld dungeon?

The combination of these words, lake, fog, and silence, makes people feel that this place is very suitable as the set of the new film "Friday the 13th".

But when the songs of several green-haired elves echo in the air, all the terrifying atmosphere will disappear.

Ethereal songs are floating in the humid air of Lake Lienia. If you close your eyes, you can imagine a lush green forest.

When these elves are serious, they really fit people's impression of beautiful, elegant natural incarnations in fantasy works. All imaginable words to describe "beautiful" can be used for them.

In the forest, we can hear the calls of various animals, such as parrots, sparrows, and crows cawing at the top of their lungs.

crow?

"Quack, ah! Why did you hit me!"

The crow's unpleasant call suddenly stopped, and Kunan, the cool elf, covered the back of his smoking head with an unhappy look on his face.

"Everyone is singing happily, you are causing trouble on purpose, right?" Melga retracted her slap, "Where did the crow come from in the Elf Forest?"

"The forest should be more tolerant, right? How about I imitate the snow leopard next time?" Kunan curled his lips.

"That thing is not something that should appear in the Elf Forest."

As for why they sing, it's purely because it's boring.

From the physical sense, they have been walking on the westward road, so they should not have gone the wrong way.

But I didn't encounter many things along the way. I encountered some monsters here and there, but I always felt that the number and intensity were a little less than before.

This is not an illusion, because Lienia of the Lake implements a mechanism similar to dynamic difficulty. The moment each adventurer enters here, he will be matched with a certain number of monsters in the dungeon based on his strength. These monsters will actively attack the adventurers. .

After all the matched monsters are defeated, the exploration experience will change from "monsters actively attack adventurers" to "adventurers actively seek out monsters." In fact, the monsters in the huge lake area are actually very scattered, so if you want to encounter a group of monsters, Still quite rare.

Matching monsters will be reset every two or three days.

After thinking about it, this mechanism actually benefits adventurers and gives them a way to fight monsters.

After the elves kill the Mud Fish Dragon, they have defeated all the matching monsters, and the other monsters will naturally not take the initiative to cause trouble for them.

They sing to attract more monsters to attack them. Why do they do this?

Because Stellan told them that if they get lost in the dungeon, they should go to a place with monsters, because there is a high probability that there will be something in a place guarded by monsters.

Everyone still listened to the advice.

The purpose of walking here is to find the blacksmith Andre, but after walking for a long time, I didn't even see a ghost, and there was no hint.

Bored, the elves discussed what they had just witnessed.

"I'm hungry. Do you have anything to eat?"

"Why do I remember that you bought several shrimps? Don't try to take advantage of my food."

"Well, I've already finished eating."

"Wait, you've finished eating? That's something as valuable as a magic item, and you just ate it in such a leisurely way?"

"Isn't food just for filling your stomach? Besides, cooked shrimps will go bad if you don't eat them."

"That makes sense, then I'll eat it too."

Hearing this conversation, Melga couldn't help but stop him, "Hey, hey, have you forgotten the preservation magic? Don't waste the props."

"But the preservation magic cannot preserve the temperature. It would be a pity not to eat the shrimps when they are still hot."

Melga was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought, and then nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, the food is still delicious when it's hot, and it would be even better if there is wine."

"Then let's find a drink after we go out, right?"

"Okay, okay."

Do you two think this is a spring outing?

Vaynema was the only one who kept a high degree of vigilance. She wanted to teach these people of the same race who were too carefree, but then she thought about it. This kind of carefreeness is a trait engraved in the bones of most elves. A simple lesson will not change anything. No more

This trait will only gradually change after leaving the Elf Forest and wandering in the outside world. Just like her and Stellan, Melga can be counted, but the problem of drinking cannot be changed.

"What are you writing?" She suddenly noticed that Liznai took out a notebook and was writing and drawing while walking, with a serious expression.

Liznai was about to speak when she heard this, but Wienma gestured to her to shut up, then took the book and started reading.

It records what they saw and heard along the way. This girl also wants to compete with the strategy team for business?

No, if you look carefully, you can find that the focus of the words written by Lizina is different from that of the strategy team. The strategy team will analyze how to fight a certain monster, analyze the monster's behavior, the surrounding environment, and whether there are any The terrain can be used, and the overall approach is practical.

As for Liznai, what she wrote was purely about the environment, ranging from the general look and feel of Lake Lienia to the crayfish nibbling around the water plants. The things she recorded were diverse.

Wienma looked at it and suddenly asked: "Are you studying ecology?"

Lizzie nodded.

Ecology is something that all scholars are interested in. If you want to thoroughly understand an unknown area, the study of ecology is essential.

And she happens to be involved in research in this area. Although she looks small, Liznai's mind is surprisingly easy to use. She is often invited by many magic circle publications to publish research. She has published research on magic medicine machines and monster ecology. Well-known in the research field.

She is the richest person in the team besides Veenma, and she is also an invisible little rich woman.

This enthusiasm for research makes even Veenma feel ashamed. Although she is also vaguely interested in the ecology of Lake Lienia, she has not yet thought of studying it in detail.

Liznai's book has even summarized a food chain - lobsters, crabs and other monsters eat aquatic plants and ordinary animals, and they will be preyed on by powerful creatures such as gangsters and mud ichthyosaurs. Mud ichthyosaurs may become The food of the legendary aphrodisiac dragon.

Yes, there are ordinary animals in Lake Lienia, such as sheep rolling in groups to escape, wild boars with tusks, deer, eagles, etc. Their number does not seem to be many, but in You can still encounter them occasionally on the way to adventure.

This was specially put in by Gong Qiying to replenish the ecology, and perhaps also provide extra food for the adventurers.

Is this also considered a different kind of feeding play?

In Lizna's book, the ghost became a symbiotic existence with the monsters. After losing his ghost horse mount, he would look for nearby lobsters or crabs to use as mounts, and would also take out dirty dried fruits from his body and give them to the monsters. Feed or even rescue crayfish in distress.

Miranda flowers on the roadside will disguise themselves as ordinary plants and use their toxins to paralyze prey that dare to approach.

There will even be territorial disputes between lobsters and crabs, and when they are in groups, they dare to touch the mud fish dragon. When the elves encountered the Mud Fish Dragon before, there were many lobster carcasses with obvious signs of battle near the site.

In addition to animals and monsters, the ecology of plants is also worthy of study, but time was too short and Lizna did not have time to observe it carefully.

Once she has sorted out all the information and put it outside, she will have another income, and her little coffers will be even more abundant!

At that time, maybe I can just use money to hit Stellan until she kneels at her feet and sings "Conquer"~

"Don't work too hard." Wienma returned the book to her, with concern on her face. "It's a good thing to work hard to make money, but don't tire yourself out."

Just as Rizuna was about to nod, she heard the other party continue:

"The evil church that kidnapped you back then could not be found with money."

"Yeah." She responded, seemingly not listening.

But then she wrote something in the notebook and showed it to Vaynema.

[But the more rewards I can give, the greater the hope]

Wienma's expression changed, and she sighed without saying anything else.

"Hmph hum-"

"Hey, a wild boar ran by, catch it!"

There was a noise from the other elves, and then a wild boar with green plants on its back ran away from her.

Have you ever fought hard for yourself? At this moment, the mushroom pig is running for itself.

Seeing Melga chasing the mushroom pig enthusiastically, Vienma sighed, not even bothering to help.

The Mushroom Pig's explosion was so fast that not only it, but also Melga, who was chasing it, ran into the mist.

No, running alone into a place with blurred vision is a taboo in a horror movie. Although Thane Dungeon is not a horror movie set, it feels almost the same.

Veenma frowned and said, "Go after Melga and tell her not to-"

"Wow!"

Before she could finish her words, Melga's screams were suddenly heard.

Look, something happened!

The other elves quickly cheered up. Some were in charge of magic and others were in charge of melee combat. Wienma showed the good demeanor of a strong person and rushed ahead.

The word "rush" seems very ungraceful. In fact, she cast the levitating spell and the wind spell on herself, flying in the air at high speed, and threw a colorful firework bomb forward to show Melgar the direction.

"Shuashuashua——"

Just after advancing a few dozen meters, dense arrows suddenly shot from the front. Fortunately, the magician among the elves had already deployed the magic shield.

A large number of arrows poured on the shield, causing cracks. This scene looked too familiar. Isn't it the convulsive shooting of the puppet soldiers?

Could it be that Melgar encountered a puppet soldier? But an enemy of that level shouldn't make her scream.

"Crack!"

The next second, a high-pressure water cannon suddenly appeared and completely broke through the crumbling magic shield, even injuring Kunan who was rushing at the front.

Fortunately, Wienma had quick eyesight and quick hands, and built a wall of highly elastic plants in front of the water cannon, which blocked the water cannon.

But doubts also appeared in my mind.

Water cannon? Why does the big lobster appear here?

But when the water cannon disappeared, a huge roar was heard. This roar formed a physical shock wave, and many people were caught off guard and staggered by the roar.

What kind of monster made this roar?

"Melgar, where are you!" Kunan shouted.

"Here, come and help me, this ugly guy has a lot of hands!"

Melgar finally shouted, and the elves were ready to rush over. Melgar's figure gradually became clearer in the mist.

She was jumping up and down fighting, looking a little strenuous, and the black shadow of the monster she was fighting was huge, big and wide, like a big crab that you often encounter in the lake area.

But when everyone saw the appearance of that thing clearly, they shuddered hard. It was much scarier than a big crab!

The monster has the head of a handsome young man, which looks pitiful, but with such a small head attached to a body as big as a hill, the proportions look extremely uncoordinated.

It wouldn't be too disgusting if it was just like this, but this guy has a bunch of arms attached to him!

Various arms are roughly planted on the body, and they sway back and forth with the action. This is even more sanity than the mating scene between a mud monster and a tentacle monster!

And the most terrifying thing is that each arm holds a repeating crossbow!

Under the continuous firing of the crossbow, it held a gun in one hand and a shield in the other. The other two hands in front of it were a lobster head and a rune bear head! Water cannons and beast roars are produced by these two things.

What kind of nightmare stitch monster is this!

[Extended limb aristocrat·Ideal version]

This is a wandering elite monster created by Gong Qiying. It is positioned to target the Explosive Scale Dragon in the forest area. It belongs to the level of the world police.

Shield poke, repeating crossbow, lobster head and bear head, the jointed aristocrat with multiple elements has surpassed its boss, Greg. This is what the ideal jointed aristocrat should look like!

As long as Fangrek doesn't worry about his poor little dragon head and wears a lobster, he won't be killed by the faded ones.

Just one look at the limb-prosthetic noble made the elf spit it out.

It was so disgusting. Some of the places where the arms were forcibly connected to the limbs of the nobles were festered and pus-filled. A lot of maggots burrowed out. With every movement, the bugs fell like raindrops.

It actually comes with a mental attack, which is great for earning mental power.

Melgar used a long stick in his hand, but it could not break through the large shield held by the limbed noble, let alone the interference of the continuous crossbow on his head.

"It's so disgusting. I don't want to fight this thing." Some elves stuck out their tongues in disgust.

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!"

Kunan took the lead and rushed forward to spread the firepower for Melgar. The others also showed their special skills and fought fiercely with the limb-repairing nobles.

Each rain of arrows would disperse the swarming elves. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the nobles would launch an attack with a beast roar and a spear. When someone came close, they would raise a large shield to resist, repeating this process.

Vaynema chanted in a low voice, and the lake water at the feet of the limbed noble suddenly turned into a whirlpool.

This is the forward movement of the high-level magic [Waterspout], and after noticing this, it chose to turn the windmill!

The limb-joined noble suddenly took out two straight swords, and his huge body rotated at high speed. In the blink of an eye, he rushed out of the range of the waterspout and attacked in the direction of the elves!

"Wow, use the shield quickly!" someone screamed.

But do front shields really work on big windmills? It will be shattered in an instant.

In an instant, a small waterspout appeared under everyone's feet, sending them all flying into the sky. They successfully escaped the attack. In the next moment, a large number of vines wrapped around their bodies and pulled them out. the battlefield.

Looking back, the grafted nobleman was also entangled in a large number of plants and fell to the ground, tearing at them irritably.

The one who did all this was naturally Wienma. Her magical attainments were not something she boasted about, but there was no fighting spirit in her eyes.

For some unknown reason, she had no idea of ​​fighting. After catching everyone, she used flying skills to quickly leave the battlefield.

Naturally, the limbed noble would not let them go, and chased after them while shooting arrows. The crab-like lower body made it super fast, no less than flying.

Wienma continued to release magic to obstruct it, but powerful magic took time to be cast, and those that could be cast instantly had little effect.

Seeing the grafted noble getting tighter and tighter, the spear was almost reaching his back.

"Tsk."

She showed a troubled expression and could only fight, but the battlefield would become chaotic after a while.

Something was surging under her long skirt, as if it was about to burst out of her body, but at this moment——

"Bang!"

There was a loud noise, followed by the screams of the prosthetic nobles.

A third-party force suddenly intervened on the battlefield!

Wei Enma felt a powerful strange aura, which was very condensed and gathered into the appearance of a tall and strong human being.

An adventurer?

The prosthetic noble stood up unsteadily, and a pair of deep footprints appeared on the side of his body.

It was knocked down by a flying kick. Whose flying kick was so powerful?

"Tap, step"

Footsteps came from the front, and it saw a shirtless, muscular man with a gray beard that seemed to tell his age.

"Have you seen my hammer?"

The visitor asked and got into a boxing stance.

Boxing champion/blacksmith Andre, breaks into the battlefield!
