Chapter 774 Monster group mutation?

After picking up the huge magic stone dropped by "Anphisbina", Wood left a sentence that was enough to drive the adventurers of Orario crazy, and then turned around and left.

After entering the safe floor on the 28th floor, Wood met the vendor brother again.

Compared with the first meeting, the vendor brother this time finally understood Wood's origins, and knew that the other party was the "Great Sage" who made a lot of noise in the maze city some time ago.

"Isn't this the Great Sage brother? It's been a long time since I saw you. Since I returned to the ground half a month ago, I found out that you are such an amazing person. It really scared me."

The vendors on the safe floor did not stay in the underground city all the time. Every once in a while, they would return to the ground to sell goods and replenish supplies.

The vendor brother who impressed Wood deeply also inquired about Wood's affairs when he returned to the ground.

After all, the newcomer who could kill the floor master Goliath alone must be an ordinary character. In order to continue to have a good relationship with Wood in the future, it is naturally necessary to understand each other.

It would not be a big deal if he did not ask, but he found out that Wood was so awesome after asking.

What are the deeds of "taking on the whole family alone", "scheming against the gods without being hated", "facing the pressure of the gods in the end and questioning the gods to make them wake up", "breaking the fastest level-up record in Orario in three days", "obtaining the title of Great Sage Adventurer" and so on.

To be honest, if there were no witnesses to these things and they were already recognized facts, the vendor would even feel that he was listening to a myth.

Because in terms of experience and deeds, this is comparable to a heroic legend. The vendor only thought that Wood had a good temperament and would definitely be a big man in the future, but he really didn't expect that the other party was so awesome and rose so fast.

Especially the leader and the main god of his family, when they learned that he had a good relationship with Wood and had a certain amount of trading exchanges, they also told him to get along well with him.

Even if he couldn't pry the other party into his own followers, he should at least not offend him. So this time, the vendor was much more reserved when he saw Wood.

After all, when he met Wood before, he just regarded him as a newcomer with good potential.

But when they met again, he was not a newcomer at all. Even if he was only a LV2 adventurer now, he was not an ordinary LV2 adventurer.

"Brother, it's been a long time since we last met. It just so happens that I just got a magic stone. I don't know any other vendors on the 28th floor, so I'll sell it to you directly."

As Wood said this, he took out the magic stone dropped by the floor master "Anphisbina" who had just defeated him on the 27th floor from the backpack behind him.

Although the price of selling magic stones on the safe floor is much cheaper than selling them on the ground, and the price will become cheaper as the safe floor goes down, Wood didn't care too much about it.

After all, his goal this time was to directly attack the 49th floor. Carrying such a large magic stone on his body was really a hindrance.

Besides, Hestia's followers are now rich because of the magic instruction fee of Ace and others for one month, so they don't need that little money at all.

"Of course, no problem, brother, the magic stone you want to sell is... Damn, such a big magic stone, you didn't kill the floor master Goliath again!

No, that's not right, the magic stone dropped by Goliath last time was not as big and the magic purity was not this big, brother, what is this..."

Originally, I thought that the magic stone that Wood wanted to sell was the merchant brother who collected it in the upper and middle floors. When he saw the huge magic stone that Wood took out from his backpack, he was dumbfounded.

"Ah, this magic stone was indeed not dropped by Goliath, but it is also the floor master.

Isn't there one on the 27th floor? The guy with two heads swimming in the water.

When I entered the safe floor, this guy just attacked me, so I killed him."

"The floor master of the 27th floor? Isn't that Amphibina? I killed him..."

Looking at Wood's extremely calm expression and tone, the vendor brother was speechless.

The floor master who was judged to be LV5 in strength and even comparable to LV6 in the water was killed by someone alone, and even looking at the other party's relaxed attitude, it seems that it is a very easy thing?

"How much can this magic stone sell for? If you don't want to buy it, then I will sell it to someone else."

Hearing Wood's voice again, the vendor finally recovered from his shock and said quickly: "Take it, take it, take it. Such a high-purity large magic stone is a real hot-selling product. How could he not want it?

In the end, even though the price was reduced by 30%, Wood's magic stone was still sold at a high price of one million faris. This time, Wood did not stay for too long and chose to go deep into the underground city again.

Perhaps because he got some benefits from Wood, the vendor gave him a lot of gifts before he left, and gave him advice to return to the safe floor at night.

After half a day, Wood's figure appeared in the 37th floor area, which was the deepest part of his last exploration. The time spent this time was much faster than before.

However, unfortunately, he still failed to meet the floor master "Udaios" on the 37th floor this time.

But this is not surprising. Compared with Goliath, who takes a week to regenerate, and Amphibina, who takes a month to regenerate, the 37th floor master "Udaios" takes up to three months to regenerate.

And it has a special setting. When it is on the side, its strength is estimated to be LV6. In the case of extremely rare single-player challenges, it sometimes takes out a black giant sword. At this time, "Udaios" will be close to LV7.

It is said that when the ultimate weapon of Orario, "The Fierce One", was challenged alone, it was also knocked away by it many times, and finally defeated the opponent in a hard battle.

After passing the 37th floor area, it belongs to the deep area of ​​the dungeon, and the monsters that appear, even the ordinary small fish, have reached the level of LV4.

At present, there are only a few followers in the entire Orario who can explore the deep area of ​​the dungeon.

There are few followers who can move here, and the floor area of ​​the dungeon is larger as you go down, so when Wood went from the 37th floor to the 40th floor, he encountered monsters during the period, but did not see the existence of an adventurer.

And because there are not many followers in Orario who can explore the deep areas, the map in Wood's hand has no follow-up after reaching the 40th floor.

When passing the safe floor of the 39th floor, Wood even groped for most of the day on the 40th floor before fighting the route to the 41st floor.

There is no way. The area of ​​the 40th floor is equivalent to the entire territory of Orario. Not only is the terrain here complex, but it is also full of various monsters. It is not easy to find a way down in such a large area.

Generally, experienced adventurer teams will bring hourglasses to calculate time when entering the dungeon to explore.

Because in the dungeon, it is impossible to rely on the environment to judge the passage of time. After all, the environment of the dungeon is changeable. This floor may be icy and snowy, but the next time it will be hot and unbearable.

Wood has no experience of staying overnight in the dungeon. Because the monsters are getting stronger and there is the excitement of exploring unknown areas, he quickly forgot the time and even forgot the words of the vendor brother asking him to return to the safe floor at night.

The monsters that appeared on the 47th floor of the dungeon were huge crystal scorpions. Although they were still LV4, Wood thought that they were much more difficult to deal with than ordinary LV4 adventurers.

In terms of attack ability, these crystal scorpions were not strong, because compared with the monsters on the previous floors, they did not even use magic attacks.

However, these crystal scorpions, because their bodies were almost all made of crystal-like crystals, not only were they highly resistant to magic, but they could even bounce back even weaker magic.

What was even more outrageous was that in addition to their high resistance to magic, because their bodies were made of crystals, even normal physical attacks would cause limited damage to these crystal scorpions, because their bodies were also very hard.

In the face of such monsters with high magic resistance and physical resistance, Wood had to struggle with them for a long time before he found the simplest way to defeat them.

Although it was not impossible for Wood to break through the defenses of these crystal scorpions head-on with his magic and swordsmanship skills, the key point was that it consumed a lot of magic power and physical strength.

So after groping for a while, Wood finally found the weakness of these crystal scorpions, which is their joints.

That's right, the crystal shells of these crystal scorpions are quite hard and have extremely high resistance, but in order to swing their large pincers and scorpion tails, the joints are quite weak.

Of course, although the weakness has been found, it is not an easy task for ordinary adventurers to defeat these crystal scorpions just by relying on this alone.

Because these crystal scorpions are not only extremely fast, but also act in groups.

It may not be difficult to attack the joints of a scorpion in battle, but if facing a group of crystal scorpions, it is difficult to take care of both ends alone.

Not only do you have to dodge quickly, but you also have to hit the joints of the crystal scorpions accurately when you attack. This requires quite high combat skills, which cannot be achieved by just having a high level.

However, if someone were on the 47th floor at this moment, they would find that a certain monster-like boy not only easily completed this difficult combat technique, but also performed it quite well!

"Shave——————!"

The long sword covered with armed color slashed out, making a sound of breaking through the air, and a crystal scorpion that was hit at the joint, its proud pair of large scorpion claws flew directly into the air.

The next second, Wood, who predicted the danger with his observation color domineering, disappeared from the place where he was standing, and a scorpion tail as fast as thunder directly penetrated the phantom he left in the original place.

Wood, who disappeared in the original place, was not just avoiding the attack.

The scorpion tail that was supposed to pierce Wood's phantom, after piercing Wood's phantom, pierced into the air and pierced the head of another crystal scorpion.

Use his spear to attack his shield!

The scorpion tails of those crystal scorpions are their strongest means of attack, powerful enough to pierce through gold and split stone. It would naturally not be a pleasant experience if this thing stung their companions.

Wood, who had successfully made them hurt each other, only had to finish them off and send them away together.

In the entire 47th floor, there was probably only Wood the adventurer now, and because he was making more and more noise, more and more crystal scorpions gathered here.

But even though the number of crystal scorpions was increasing, under the prediction of his observation Haki, Wood was still able to know how to shuttle freely among the crystal scorpions as if strolling in the garden, and constantly reduce the number of crystal scorpions.

Just as Wood watched the number of crystal scorpions around him continue to decrease, and felt that he could kill all the monsters here in an hour or so, and also occupy a lot of ability points, his observation Haki suddenly frantically warned.

"Ding——————!"

Almost at the moment when Wood felt the danger, the "black knife" in his hand was immediately held horizontally in front of him, and the next second a red phantom, like a thunderbolt, directly hit Wood's knife, and the strong impact even pushed him, who was originally unprepared, several meters away!

When Wood looked carefully at what had just attacked him, he was shocked to find that it was still the tail of the crystal scorpion.

As for why it was red, it was because the crystal scorpion that had just attacked him, whose original blue crystal body, had turned red at this moment, just like steel burning red.

At first, Wood thought that this was another so-called "mutant" monster.

But soon he was shocked to find that it was not just the crystal scorpion that had mutated.

That crystal scorpion was just the beginning. The other crystal scorpions around him also began to turn red at this moment, as if a chain reaction had occurred!

The crystal scorpions that originally covered the ground looked like there was an extra layer of ice on the ground, but now these "ice" were gradually transformed into a sea of ​​red at a speed visible to the naked eye!

If it was just turning red, it would not be a big deal, but Wood could clearly feel that after these crystal scorpions turned red, it was not as simple as changing their skin.

Whether it is speed or strength, these crystal scorpions have greatly improved after their bodies turned red.

If the previous crystal scorpions were peak LV4 monsters comparable to LV5, then the "mature" crystal scorpions now are outright LV5 monsters!
