Chapter 12: The Nature of the Labyrinth

At this time, Su Yan naturally didn't know that the enemy actually attached so much importance to himself that he listed himself as a first-class hunting target.

However, he had already guessed, and for Su Sun, it was abnormal for the other party not to do this.

Now, he is in the underground labyrinth, feeling the strange underground structure unique to the world of Tartadis.

The first layer of the labyrinth is an area that has been explored by generations of maze adventurers for more than a thousand years, and it is also the safest area, and just after entering the entrance of the maze with a width of hundreds of meters and diving nearly a hundred meters, what Su Sun saw was a new underground world.

It was a colorful underground chamber of pyroxene lamps, fluorescent moss, and various glowing ores, and the underground labyrinth was not dim, but brighter than the adventurer's lighting tools and native glowing plants, even brighter than the sun's surface.

Here, Su Sun could feel that even if they were out of the shelter of the Elemental Array, the condensed elemental transformation speed on the surface could not affect this place.

There are also the most adventurers here, and most of their tasks are to grow some special magic plants here.

"Hey, but there's no soil here, how did you grow it?"

After hearing this, Su Tian remembered what the fish-man maid had said at breakfast, she said that there are areas in the labyrinth that are suitable for normal plants - now it seems that with this level of care, the underground is indeed more suitable for farming than the surface, but the first layer of the labyrinth is completely composed of rock and mineral layers, where is the place to farm?

"Just look at it."

Elias smiled mysteriously and led Su Sun to a corner of the first floor.

Then, Su Yan saw groups of huge puppets walking back and forth in the vast clearing.

Boom Rumble...... The sound of the behemoths walking was heard, and it was like thunder.

The huge earth golems with a height of nearly ten meters are the 'monsters' that are abundant in this layer of the labyrinth, they are the predecessors of the earth element, they are composed of soft earth and gravel, and they do not have much intelligence.

"Wow!"

Su Day's eyes widened, because he found that the front and back of the bodies of these earth puppets, on the back of their chests, were full of seedlings of various plants!

Each puppet is like a moving field, constantly walking, so that all parts of the body are evenly exposed to light, and their own magic power, which soaks the soil all over the body, becomes fertilizer to nourish the plants.

Here, there are dozens of adventurers working, among them, there are those who use water magic to 'attack' all the golems and carry out watering operations, and there are also those who use binding magic to 'harvest' and 'replant' the golems whose crops have matured. Of course, there are also adventurers who are responsible for destroying some powerful earth golems that are too large and are about to advance to the 'super giant earth golem' or 'earth elemental' to ensure the stability of this labyrinthine farmland.

All the adventurers move smoothly and skillfully, and they don't know how familiar they are with this, and it is clear that they don't know how many hundreds or thousands of times they have done this process.

"Your use of the labyrinth is really ingenious."

Even Yara complained that the people of this world are quite similar to you Zhengguo people, you can farm anywhere', and Su Sun was even more surprised: "Soil puppets can become fields, so can't metal puppets become your mineral source?" ”

At this time, Elias showed a reserved and mysterious smile, and it was not until Su Sun left the 'fluorescent cave' on the first floor and descended to the 'metal chamber' on the third floor that he realized that his guess was actually true.

Because the metal puppets that appear here, the alloys that make up their body structures, are the prototypes of 'gold', the world's common currency of Tartadis! After defeating and shattering them, take out the metal in the core area a little and refine it to become that solid metal alloy!

The people of this world, even the currency, are derived from the labyrinth.

The first four layers of the labyrinth, the shortest has also been developed for more than eight hundred years, what monsters will appear in it, and how the monsters will act, has long been familiar to all adventurers, as long as it does not settle for a long time, there is almost no danger, and the most dangerous monsters are just the official high level, that is, the awakening high level. These places, to Su Sun, were of little value except for surprise.

In fact, it was not only surprise, but also fright-because in the second layer of the labyrinth 'Mushroom Plain', Su Sun found a 'mushroom elf' very similar to the roasted mushroom he ate for breakfast. Most of these mushroom elves are the size of fists, with weird, spider-like white hands and feet, and they secrete a corrosive liquid that immobilizes themselves to the bodies of dissolved creatures and grows on the corpses of their opponents.

In general, although like most mushrooms, they are fungal organisms that grow on humus, this mushroom will create its own corpses and is quite active.

"Could it be that the mushrooms I ate in the morning are these things?!"

As soon as he saw these mushroom elves, Su Day's face was stunned, but soon, he didn't care: "Hey, it looks a little disgusting, but it's delicious, think about it carefully, it's just a mushroom-shaped crab, you can hunt by yourself, it's nothing disgusting." ”

He doesn't criticize food, as long as the source is not too excessive, then as long as it is delicious.

Elias hadn't actually been to the maze a few times himself, most of it was the experience gained from watching the records, and along the way, he had seen everything in the maze much more than Su Sun.

However, when Su Sun decided to go to the fifth-layer labyrinth 'Miasma Forest', which might be infested with elite beginner-level demonic beasts and had not been fully developed, he reminded him with some seriousness: "Mr. Su, although you are strong, it seems that you have not explored the maze many times - so I must remind you that no matter how powerful you are, you can't underestimate the monsters in the maze!" Most of them have special abilities, so be sure to have a snack or you'll be hit hard! ”

Su Day: "Dim sum? What dim sum? ”

In fact, Su Ri still took Elias's warning to heart, and he never underestimated any opponent, although this was mainly because he liked to abuse vegetables, but it could also be regarded as a part of caution.

In the fifth layer of the labyrinth, the most powerful creature is a huge chameleon that can control the miasma poison and be invisible in the miasma, it has a body length of seventeen meters and the strength of the elite beginner level, it is indeed very difficult, and it is indeed easy for ordinary exploration teams to be hunted by it when they come to the fifth layer.

But for the invasiveness of a hundred poisons, the hard power is several times higher than it, and the outcome can only be tortured and killed.

He didn't even use the Lan Armor, the Thunder Method, and the Blade of Annihilation, but just relied on the water control power of the Burning Dragon Method, as well as some water magic that he had just learned last night, and forcibly turned the water into a prison and drowned that transcendental-level giant beast.

However, Su Sun did not despise this giant beast because of this: "This guy, the ability to control poison gas is essentially to use a special 'transcendent organ' to control the dust of the 'macromolecular structure'!" And the peculiar scales on its whole body, it can achieve rapid color change and temperature conversion, if it weren't for the fact that I have a thunder method to directly scan the surrounding electromagnetic fluctuations, relying on thermal vision alone, I would have really been deceived by it! ”

Thinking of this, Su Sun carefully cut off a part of the chameleon's body and stored it as a reference material. He hadn't forgotten his purpose of cultivating his true body, and fighting these special monsters with their own strengths would not only enrich his reserves of various transcendent organs, but also give him inspiration.

"My true body should be facing enemies that I can't deal with in my normal form, and that kind of enemy is generally divided into two types, the first is the type that is as big as the giant whale I encountered in the deep sea and is about 100 meters long, and it is difficult for me to attack completely. And the second is that it is difficult for me to break through the defense and not be able to cause damage to the opponent. ”

Su Sun didn't think much about the points of 'the enemy's attack is so strong that he can't defend against it at all' or 'the enemy's speed is faster than his own', the former is because if he encounters an enemy of this level, the first thing he has to do is to slip away first, instead of fighting the opponent head-on, and the latter is because he is small in size and light in weight, and he can run at supersonic speed with the help of Lan Jia, and his real body may not be as fast as the original speed.

In this way, the basic structure of his real body is obvious - that is, he must be large in size and have high attack power. As for the defense, at least to the point where you can ignore the attacks of ordinary miscellaneous soldiers, lest you be killed by the crowd because of your large size after turning into a real person.

In this way, he gradually perfected his thinking about his true body in his heart, and Su Sun took Elias and continued to wander in the labyrinth.

Along the way, Su Sun not only hunted superordinary-level demonic beasts, but he would also deliberately hunt some weak demonic beasts that were very common in the eyes of the locals - for example, wandering in the second half of the fifth-layer labyrinth, a fire venom ant colony about the size of a calf, with a strange chamber structure, and a flying hedgehog that could float in the air by breathing...... These unique magical beasts and all kinds of plants and animals, even in the world of Tartadis before the end of the world, may have been extinct long ago, but the labyrinth has allowed them to revive and regenerate people.

Locals may have long been accustomed to it, and even regard the existence of the labyrinth as common sense, but as a visitor from another world, Su Sun has another view on the existence of the labyrinth: "These 'labyrinths', no matter how you look at them, are like layers of independent special ecosystems, preserving some extraordinary creatures from various eras that can only survive in special environments!" ”

"Moreover, all of this is also traced to the context - the deeper the labyrinth, the more complex the creatures, and similar to the recorded ecology of the world of Tartadis before the end of the world, and the earlier it is, the simpler and more primitive the anomaly."

The complexity and danger of living things are gradually growing, and this is especially true for transcendent creatures, so when you arrange them layer by layer, you will have a feeling that the maze is gradually increasing in difficulty!

Su Yan didn't hide all this, but told Elias all of it - he is not the kind of person who will hold things in his heart, not to mention, he also needs a local to analyze the reasonableness of this speculation for him.

And after hearing Su Yan's dissection and analysis from another angle, the young grand duke of the Nether family suddenly turned grim.

"I need to go back and compare it with the information in the family."

He said so, but it could be seen that Elias also felt that Su Sun's guess was quite reasonable. And in this case, it seems that it can also be vaguely related to the 'era change'.

In this way, the essence of the labyrinth is quite intriguing, and the 'Water God Temple' located at the depth of the eighth layer, as well as the legendary 'Apocalyptic Truth' hidden in the deepest part of the labyrinth, have more meanings.
