Chapter 653 Big Tree Maze

Chapter 653 "Big Tree Maze"

Underground city, level 24.

Just like the nickname "Big Tree Maze", the scenery presented on this floor is a combination of "tree" and "maze".

The roads here are intricate and intricate, like a dense forest in a fairy tale, giving people the feeling of walking directly into a dream and getting lost in a paradise.

The walls, ceiling and floor here are all made of bark, like the inside of a giant tree.

Glowing moss grows luxuriantly in the maze. On the road, you can see leaves with wonderful shapes and colors, giant mushrooms, flowers dripping with silver water drops, and other plants that are not found on the surface. There are even beautiful gardens. Incredible landscapes such as , messy grasslands, lush woods, and amazing beehives make the entire maze a paradise.

In fact, for some people, this place is no different from paradise.

Because the "Big Tree Maze" area on the 19th to 24th floors has a special feature, that is, a variety of rare herbs, fruits and other raw materials will grow here.

Some of them can be eaten directly and have excellent taste, while others have quick-acting recovery and detoxification effects, so they are valued by pharmacists who prepare elixirs and other props. Some are rare vegetation and are scarce on the surface of the earth. They are even expensive collectibles, and some are even valuable as works of art. Even the dazzling moss that forms the light source of the maze in this area can be brought back to the surface and exchanged for a lot of money. It can be said that there is treasure everywhere.

Because of this feature of the "Big Tree Maze", many merchants or pharmacists on the ground will post adventurer requests in the guild in order to obtain valuable herbal raw materials, entrusting high-level adventurers who can go to the "Big Tree Maze" area to collect these for them. For raw materials, some commercial families will even form collection teams to visit here regularly, making this place one of the true treasures in the underground city.

Thanks to this, many adventurers often regard this place as a gold mining nest. Adventurers who are short of money and come here to look for "treasures" can be said to be there every year. It is not uncommon for people to pay their precious lives for this. Tell Without people, no matter how rich the resources are here, the underground city is an underground city, and danger is absolutely inevitable.

Perhaps it is for this reason that Dungeon (Mother) particularly loves this area, and the monsters born here are far more diverse and special than the floors so far.

Here, there are Berg bears and giant beetles with extremely high natural potential that ordinary Level 2 cannot deal with. There are sniper dragonflies and firebirds that use long-distance attacks as their main means of combat. There are also darkness that can poison people. Poisonous mushrooms, if they are targeted by these monsters, even second-level adventurers who have reached Level 3 may have a headache.

In addition, there are also deadly wasps that can suddenly jump out of the trees and pierce people's flesh with their huge tail needles, lizard men who can use weapons and shields, and some that are so huge that it is hard to believe they are brothers. Bryn's giant goblin, and the sword-antlered deer with extremely sharp horns. None of these monsters are easy to deal with. Each has its own strength and danger.

In a place like this, no matter how many half-hearted Level 2s come, they will probably just come to deliver food. Even Level 3s will find it difficult to ensure safety when fighting alone. If they are careless, even if they are It is also possible for Level 4 adventurers to die here due to abnormal events such as monster feasts.

From this point of view, the mysterious magician really did not make a mistake in handing over the abnormal increase of monsters on this floor to the Hermes Familia.

There are fifteen members of the Hermes Familia who came to the 24th floor this time, including Asfi. Most of these fifteen people are Lv.3, and Asfi herself is Lv.4. Such a team Even if a small force sneaks into the lower area that is close to the deep level, there will probably be no problem. If you are willing to take the risk, it is not impossible to go to the 37th floor.

For such a small team to come to explore the 24th floor, it would definitely be a bit... no, it should be said to be extremely over-strength.

But today, such a team appeared on the 24th floor and could only barely protect themselves.

the reason is simple.

"""""Gah oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh--!""""

Along with the frightening roar that resounded throughout the "Big Tree Maze", a large group of monsters appeared in the maze like a running tide of beasts.

It was a scene like a rushing black tide.

It was a world like a vicious beast emerging from its cage.

Deadly wasps, lizardmen, sword-horned deer, dark poisonous mushrooms... all kinds of monsters completely abandoned racial differences, and seemed to have turned into a legion, a force, a whole, rushing towards the monsters that appeared on this floor. The prey is coming.

The extremely spectacular parade of monsters almost flooded the entire passage, making it impossible for the adventurers who became prey to hide even if they wanted to.

"Form up! Raise your shield!"

Yasifei's eyes widened when she saw such an astonishing number of monsters rushing toward her, and then she roared out instructions as if she was electrocuted by a sense of crisis.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"......

In an instant, the vanguard members of the Hermes Familia stepped forward one after another, suppressing their inner vacillations and following the leader's instructions, they smashed their shields on the ground and propped up a shield wall.

The tiger man wielding a big sword stood behind them, the little human magician raised his staff and chanted spells, the beautiful elves raised their short bows and shot arrows, and there was even a dog-man girl holding a short sword. Jumping to the tree, it seems that he is preparing to pass through the monster group from the woods on both sides to support his side as a guerrilla.

The members of the Hermes Familia came into contact with an astonishing number of monsters and began to fall into a melee.

Facing such a large number of monsters, even those with levels between Lv.3 and Lv.4 can barely hold on to a front line, prevent the charge of a large number of monsters, keep them out of the team, and fight with all their strength. got up.

What they saw before their eyes was violence in quantity.

Far more terrifying than monster feasts, monster gifts, and abnormal situations, the monster army roared, roared, and attacked the Hermes family's defense line hysterically, intending to engulf them.

"Is this an explosion of monsters...!?"

Yasifei understood the seriousness of the matter and finally understood why the adventurers who had previously explored this floor were in trouble.

Such an abnormal number of monsters is so difficult for even them to deal with, let alone those adventurers around Level 2. In such a situation, they can basically be buried in peace.

"[Cunning Swordsman]! [Sword Lady]!"

Yasi Fei could only turn her head and look at the two first-level adventurers accompanying her, trying to get them to support her side.

Who would have thought that as soon as Yasifei turned her head to look over, two gusts of wind blew around her.

The boy and girl who were originally standing next to her had already rushed out, their bodies like a strong wind, bringing up the sound of howling wind, while also rolling up the atmosphere in the maze, letting the air flow wrap around their bodies.

"superior!"

"good!"

The boys and girls only had such a brief conversation, and then jumped up high with great tacit understanding, jumping over the heads of the members of the Hermes family supporting the shield wall, and amidst everyone's exclamations and astonishment, they swept into an astonishing number of people. A swarm of monsters.

"bass!"

"choke!"

The clear sound of drawing a sword resounded throughout the sky.

"Pfft!"

Ais took the lead and slashed out the Sword of Despair, letting the silver saber pass through the air, drawing a trajectory of a swift strike, and cut off the deadly wasps flying in the air.

"Gaaaaah!"

"Roar ah ah ah!"

"叽嗷嗷嗷!"

The surrounding monsters immediately pounced on Ais with fierce eyes, among which the two firebirds were the most conspicuous. While spitting flames, they rushed towards Ais, as if they wanted to kill her together with her companions (monsters). Burnt to ashes.

In response, Ais just slashed coldly, coldly, ruthlessly, and quickly, her body rushing forward like the wind, and the silver saber in her hand turned into the source of countless sword light slashes, intertwining a wave of strangleholds. The flesh-like storm killed all the monsters that rushed towards him, and even knocked away the fire bird's breath of fire, which was so powerful that it made people tremble.

Compared to Ais who turned into a slashing storm, Li Ge's figure was much more elegant.

He arrived first, and when Aisi rushed into the monster group, he slipped through the gap between the monsters. After arriving at the center of the monster group, he spun on the spot and let the crystal-clear sword flash past. The void leaves arcs of light in the space.

His slashes were silent, like the passing breeze.

His slashes were sharp and awe-inspiring. They seemed to have little lethality, but they made all the monsters who touched the tip of the sword scream in agony. In the blink of an eye, parts of their limbs were cut off, and blood splattered all over the ground.

He did not interweave a storm of blades like Ais, but while harvesting the monster's life, he flashed back and forth among the monster's attacks, danced gracefully, and dodged all attacks without fail.

During this period, while everyone took a breath, he chanted magic calmly, calmly and with a composed expression.

"[The light arrow of liberation, the bow stem of the sacred tree, I am the master of the bow.]"

"[Stop it, goblin shooter.]"

"[Penetrate it, it's a sure target.]"

As if dancing on the tip of a knife, Li Ge avoided the lizard man who slashed at him from behind without blinking an eye. Then he kicked away the sniper dragonfly flying from the side, dodging the attacks of Berg Bear and Big Beetle. After the surprise attack, he turned around and stretched out his palm towards the direction where the monsters were most numerous.

"[Arc Ray]!"

A thick golden magic circle was formed in front of the palm, and the huge flash of light also turned into a torrent and was released from Li Ge's hand.

Suddenly, the flash engulfed the monster, the passage, and the maze, allowing a grand explosion to appear here.

Seeing this scene, Yasi Fei also shuddered.

"This is……"

[The Almighty One] pursed his lips tightly.
