Chapter 655 The strange female swordsman

The ceiling and walls, which resembled the bark of a big tree, had gradually lost their original shape since Li Ge and his party approached the edge of the 24th floor.

The northern edge of the 24th floor is different from the center of the labyrinth. Whether it is the ceiling, walls or the ground, it gradually develops rock-like uneven structures, and the color also changes from brown and green to light red, making the surrounding environment look different. It became more like a cave than a forest.

This is because there is a grain depot nearby.

Although there may be some discrepancies, the food depots in the underground city are basically cave structures. There are large quartz-like rock pillars in the deepest part. Liquid with extremely high nutritional value will leak out from the large quartz pillars, and the monsters will drink it. The one that fills the stomach, replenishes energy and nutrients.

In order to form a food warehouse and a large cavity with large quartz pillars, the underground city will change the environment of the maze to a type suitable for their existence, so that no matter which floor it is on, the closer to the food warehouse, the environment near the maze will be The more suitable it is for the environment of a large cavity.

Therefore, the change in the surrounding environment is not a bad thing. On the contrary, it proves that Li Ge and his party are approaching the food warehouse, or are about to arrive at the food warehouse.

But no one expected that the scene that appeared in front of them before arriving at the grain depot would be so horrifying.

"……What's this?"

Yasifei's voice became hoarse at some point.

The rest of the Hermes family members were similar. They either looked shocked or swallowed in stunned silence, and they all found it difficult to speak.

Li Ge and Aisi also looked at each other, one's eyes flickered, and the other's eyes were full of surprise that was difficult for others to detect.

The scene in front of everyone is so embarrassing.

Looking carefully, a huge wall appeared on the only way to the grain depot.

The wall closed off the entire road, forming a dead end and shutting out everyone who arrived here.

However, this wall also has a creepy appearance.

Its surface is swollen and resembles a green wall of flesh. Compared with the surrounding stone walls, you can see differences in structure and properties. It is obviously not something that appeared here from the beginning.

It stood in front of everyone like this and squirmed slightly from time to time. It looked like a living creature and a plant with very active vitality. It reminded Rige of the environment inside the underground monster Yarakulon. .

"Swelling, tumor...?"

The dog-man girl belonging to the Hermes Familia timidly said such an adjective, and everyone nodded involuntarily.

The wall of flesh really looked like a tumor growing in the underground city. It was very disgusting.

"...Is there such a thing in front of the food warehouse on the 24th floor?"

"I do not know……"

"I have never been to the food depot on the 24th floor."

"The intelligence didn't mention that this is like this!"

The people of the Hermes Familia began to discuss each other one by one, with a slightly uneasy look on everyone's face. They were obviously shocked by the disgusting appearance of this wall.

Not to mention the second-level adventurers from the Hermes Familia, even Ais, who was a first-level adventurer and had been to the depths of the dungeon countless times, also frowned a little.

"...I've never seen anything like this in the dungeon."

Ais expressed this opinion.

"It stinks."

Li Ge was much calmer than the others, and he was not frightened by the terrifying appearance. He even wanted to go in and investigate, but when he got close to the flesh wall, he smelled a pungent stench, which made him His brows also wrinkled, he stopped immediately, and retreated as if he didn't dare to compliment.

"Indeed, it does stink!"

"I didn't even notice it just now..."

"Well...the smell is too pungent..."

Attracted by Rige's words, the orcs, who were no longer as shocked as before, suddenly smelled a pungent smell, which made the tiger warriors, dog girls and other members of the Hermes family members wailing, He pinched his nose and backed away.

For the orcs with an extremely sensitive sense of smell, this pungent smell is no different from biological weapons, causing some people's faces to turn blue and white.

"This seems to be rancid, right?"

Yasifei boldly came closer, and after taking a whiff, an idea suddenly flashed in her mind.

"It seems that the reason why the number of monsters on the 24th floor increased so much is probably here."

Yasifei seemed to understand something and said this.

"What?"

Everyone was suddenly stunned and looked at Yasi Fei.

At this time, Li Ge also spoke lightly.

"The monsters on the 24th floor are basically biological types, and they all need to eat, which means they need to go to the food depot for supplies."

"But if the food depot is blocked by a wall of flesh that appears at an unknown time like this, the monsters will naturally be unable to enter the food bureau and obtain the nutrients they need to survive."

"In this way, the monsters that come here can only wander in front of the wall of flesh, and continue to accumulate in number. Until they are hungry and unbearable, a large number of monsters gathered here will start to run wild and get out of control."

Li Ge's statement made everyone feel like they were enlightened, and they suddenly realized.

"That's right." Yasfi also confirmed Li Ge's statement, glanced at him, and said: "The monsters who came to the food depot in the north cannot enter the food depot. When they cannot withstand hunger, Either they kill each other on the spot and devour each other, or they go berserk and attack the adventurers exploring this floor, hunting the adventurers for food, and some even go to the two remaining food depots on the 24th floor, causing Monsters are migrating en masse."

"Therefore, the real reason for the sudden increase in monsters on the 24th floor is the collective migration and rampage of monsters who cannot enter the food depot."

"They did not increase out of thin air, but the monsters wandering around on the 24th floor looking for food gathered together."

This is the reason for the explosion of monsters.

Who allowed there to be only three grain depots on the 24th floor?

The monsters heading to the food depot in the north were kept out of the wall. Naturally, they either accumulated in place or chose to go to the other two food depots. As a result, a large number of monsters followed the same route and formed a large group, which also indirectly caused The number of monsters has increased dramatically.

The adventurers who ventured on this floor unfortunately encountered this situation, and were attacked by an army of hungry monsters, causing a large number of casualties.

"The same situation happened on the 30th floor. Is this the reason why...?"

Ais looked at Li Ge.

"This is the only possibility."

Li Ge nodded to Aisi and told her that the culprit of everything must be the wall of flesh in front of her.

"Then what should we do now?" The dog-man girl raised her hand and asked, "Now that we have investigated the cause of the increase in monsters, does that mean we have completed the commission?"

"What do you think?" Yasifei said angrily: "The content of the commission is to investigate the reasons for the explosion of monsters and solve them. We only know the reasons now, and we haven't solved the situation yet."

"Then just destroy this wall, right?" The little human wizard also raised his hand and said: "As long as this wall is destroyed, the monsters will no longer be blocked here, and the monsters will no longer be blocked." Will there be another surge or migration?"

"The question is, how did this wall appear?" Yasifei frowned, as if talking to herself, and muttered: "Could it be that the dungeon generated itself? But doesn't this make sense?"

The reason why the food depot in the dungeon exists is to prevent the monsters from starving to death after they are born.

If a wall blocking the way to the food depot will be generated in such a dungeon, then why is the dungeon still generating a food depot?

"This must not be a spontaneous act in the dungeon, but a truly abnormal situation." Yasi Fei came to this conclusion and said calmly: "This wall is most likely the result of human intervention."

The members of the Hermes Familia suddenly became quiet.

On the side, Ais remembered the words of the mysterious magician.

The other party also said that this incident was most likely man-made, as evidenced by the murder of Ganesha family members in Rivera Town on the 18th floor.

For some purpose, someone built this wall of flesh in front of the food depots on the 24th and 30th floors, which led to an explosion of monsters.

When the abnormal situation occurred in the food warehouse on the 30th floor, the murdered Ganesha family members entered the food warehouse and took away something inside, which eventually led to the pursuit of the mastermind behind the scenes, leading to death. , was killed in Rivera Town on the 18th floor.

In this case, is the mysterious item found in the food warehouse on the 30th floor that led to the murder of the Ganesha family members also in front of this?

"…………"

For some reason, Ais suddenly felt uncomfortable.

It was as if a thorn suddenly pierced into her flesh, and her blood began to stir slightly, making Aisi feel inexplicably uneasy.

What on earth is inside here?

Aisi found that the more she thought this way, the more inexplicably uneasy and uncomfortable she felt.

"Ais."

Suddenly, Ais felt her hand being pulled.

The person who held Aisi’s hand was none other than Li Ge.

Li Ge looked straight at himself, and Ais was surprised to find that she had walked towards the wall of flesh at some point, and her hand was on the hilt of the Sword of Despair hanging at her waist.

"[Sword Princess], what's wrong with you?" Yasifei came forward with her family members, looked at Ais in surprise, and said: "Why do you suddenly put on a scary expression and approach alone? That wall of flesh?”

Hearing this, Ais's face became incredulous.

"...Does my expression look scary?"

Ais looked at Li Ge.

"Yeah." Li Ge nodded, still looking straight at Aisi, and said truthfully: "It's like seeing something incompatible with water and fire. If I didn't hold you back, you should be able to draw your sword and chop it to pieces. Blocking a wall of meat, a man rushed into the grain warehouse behind the wall."

The people around him nodded and agreed with Li Ge's statement.

Ais didn't know what to say at once.

Seeing Ais like this, Li Ge was silent for a while and then said something.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Li Ge said calmly.

"Is it okay?" Yasifei didn't object, but she didn't agree directly either. Instead, she asked, "This is an unusual situation that doesn't exist in the dungeon. I don't know what will happen."

"It is precisely because of this that we should go in, otherwise wouldn't everything be investigated clearly?" Li Ge said lightly: "Or, Ais and I can go in by ourselves, and you can just wait here."

"...Let's go in together." Yasifei was silent for a while, and then said: "Since the content of the commission is to solve this situation, if we don't go in, we really can't solve anything."

"Then how should we get in?" The dog-man girl immediately raised her hand again and asked, "Shall we break this disgusting wall of flesh?"

Hearing this, Aisi reflexively wanted to hold the sword.

"I'll do it."

Li Ge held Aisi's hand and shook his head at her.

"It's faster to use magic."

As he said that, Li Ge stretched out his hand towards the wall of flesh.

"[Fireball]."

During the brief chant, the magic was activated without anyone reacting.

"boom!"

A huge fireball suddenly formed in front of the tip of Li Ge's outstretched finger. While emitting heat, it illuminated the entire passage. It shot out with a bang and hit the wall of flesh.

The loud explosion and the impact of explosive flames suddenly appeared on the flesh wall, setting off layers of fire.

The wall of flesh burst into flames and gradually turned into ashes in front of everyone's eyes.

Seeing this scene, everyone, including Aisi, opened their eyes wide.

"That magic just now...!"

Asfi was shocked.

"No chanting...?"

Aisi was also moved.

"...Magic that doesn't require chants?"

The members of the Hermes Familia were also shocked.

What did they see?

The magic cast by Li Ge actually activated without chanting, just using a magic name!

This is……

"No chanting magic?"

Yasi Fei spat out such a sentence blankly.

Everyone's attention was instantly diverted from the abnormal situation in front of them, and they looked at Li Ge in shock or surprise as he retracted his finger.

Especially Aisi, the inexplicable uneasiness in her heart was suddenly blown away by the magic displayed by Li Ge.

……when?

When did Li Ge learn such magic?

The female swordsman who thought she knew something about Li Ge was also at a loss.

"Let's go."

As if he had done something insignificant, as if he didn't know what he had done, Li Ge still spoke in a calm tone, and took the lead in walking forward, walking into the wall of flesh that was gradually being burned away.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. After looking at each other for a while, they immediately followed Li Ge and walked into the wall of flesh that was reduced to ashes.

On the ceiling, a pale flower bloomed silently, looking down at the scene.

Then, on the other side of the flower, a pair of eyes slowly opened.
