Chapter 47 An unexpected first pass
On the second floor of the Immortal Maze, many adventurers gathered outside the dark red door, studying how to open the door.
Most of them are veteran adventurers.
Since being promoted to Extraordinary, the speed of strength improvement has slowed down again.
Even killing monsters like slimes, mushrooms, goblins, etc., there is almost no improvement at all.
"Did we really go wrong?"
"Probably not. Everyone has pretty much explored the surrounding environment. The only dark red giant door found so far is this one..."
A burly shield warrior responded.
As he spoke, he looked up at the top of the giant door.
His eyes immediately widened, and he saw a bloody stream of light surrounding the giant flat door, with some kind of giant pattern quickly carved on it...
The shield warrior suddenly exclaimed.
"Everyone, look at the giant door!"
Following the shield warrior's exclamation, everyone looked in the direction of the giant door.
"The giant door is about to open!"
An anxious adventurer took a few steps forward and tried to push open the giant door, but unfortunately there was still no response.
"I guess we need to wait for the giant gate pattern to form."
Some adventurers speculated.
"The image looks a bit like an octopus. Is there a giant octopus in the giant door this time?"
All the adventurers nodded in agreement.
After all, the giant door on the first floor is carved with a giant goblin...
The bloody light circulated on the giant door for more than three hours. The adventurer went from being excited at the beginning to being happy to being calm...
Even Yan Mu from Demon King City couldn't stand it anymore.
Although there was a period of buffering when the goblins were deployed last time, it was not so outrageous...
The environment in the BOSS room has been constantly evolving, and it seems that it is looking for a more suitable combat venue for the Black Swamp Octopus.
Yan Mu was even a little worried about whether the maze would be destroyed or something.
[The BOSS room on the second floor has been successfully renovated, with 38 currently opened. 】
[The placement of caves and forest-type terrain failed. 】
Yan Mu could only say that this was expected.
After all, unlike the first-level lord goblins, they only need a flat ground to fight...
"Look! That strange light has disappeared!"
In the afternoon, many more adventurers appeared outside the giant red door.
But most of them are only intermediate to advanced adventurers.
Their purpose here is simple.
join in the fun.
It's impossible to defeat the BOSS, so just eat melon and watch the excitement...
But when they were about to enter, the adventurers began to hesitate again.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! How come a group of people who have been wandering outside for so many years are still bitching like girls~"
The extraordinary adventurers were embarrassed and looked at the six muscular men who were over two and a half meters tall and whose necks were thicker than their heads.
The one who spoke was the extraordinary adventurer who opened the door in the first place.
Everyone immediately took a step back.
"It's the Overlord Adventurer Team!"
Just now, I was only observing the changes in the giant door, and for a moment I didn't even notice these muscular guys whose minds were full of muscles.
A group of six people strode forward and without any hesitation, opened the door and walked in.
The intermediate and advanced adventurers cheered.
After all, this is the first team of adventurers to enter the BOSS room on the second floor!
The faces of the other extraordinary teams outside the giant door immediately darkened, and they suddenly came to their senses.
Good guy, looking at your thick eyebrows and big eyes, I didn’t expect you to be so thoughtful!
Treating myself and others as a stepping stone.
It's just a matter of doing whatever it takes to get famous.
At the same time, he was secretly annoyed that he didn't seize the opportunity. The worst he could do was not enter the rift for 30 days, and secretly made up his mind that he would never miss similar opportunities in the future!
The six members of the team who entered the BOSS room looked around and all they could see was the dark water, muddy black silt, and various rotten branches and leaves, without any life.
This swamp exudes a strong rotten smell that makes people dizzy, and some even make it difficult to open their eyes.
It is completely different from the beautiful swamp outside that is bright, lush with vegetation, and filled with many magical animals playing around.
"Captain, this environment doesn't seem to be suitable for fighting..."
Everyone had a headache.
They didn't expect the environment inside to be so bad.
The captain didn't mind at all and started to move his hands and feet.
At the same time, he removed the large backpack behind him, leaving only a small satchel filled with healing potions.
They picked up their respective Goblin warhammers and followed the example of the Goblin leader, swinging them left and right.
Yan Mu from Demon King City was stunned on the spot.
Good guys, where did this reckless combination come from?
And given their size, he wouldn't believe them if they didn't have the skills of three or four brothers.
"Are you ready?"
The strong man at the head showed a bright smile.
"Alright Captain!"
All the team members shouted in unison!
"Get ready!"
The adventurers rushed out almost as soon as the captain said the word "last".
At this time, the octopus lord, whose head was twenty to thirty meters long, slowly emerged from the water.
Roaring at the sky.
"Roar!"
What followed was a giant tentacle nearly a hundred meters long, sweeping towards everyone!
The blow missed, and the mud on the ground was pulled out forty or fifty meters by the tentacles...
As an adventurer who has been in the rift for such a long time, it is naturally impossible for him to avoid such an attack.
In just ten seconds, everyone dodged seven or eight blows in succession, and arrived at the feet of the Black Marsh Octopus Lord with black mud spots all over their bodies.
The giant man at the head jumped up high, the muscles and veins on his arms were exposed, and the whole arm became thicker in an instant!
A hammer hit the giant octopus hard in the eye!
Yan Mu's eyelids suddenly twitched.
Good guy, a critical attack!
From Yan Mu's perspective, Lord Black Marsh Octopus's head jumped out, dealing a full 1300 points of damage!
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was the highest physical damage he had ever seen so far!
Yan Mu always has an ominous premonition...
"Oh!"
One of the strong men was unable to dodge and was whipped by the tentacles. He spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards against the black water until he crashed into a raised piece of mud twenty meters away.
The adventurer who was hit struggled to open his backpack, which was filled with more than twenty bottles of red potion.
Yan Mu was even more confused now and looked at the small satchels of the other five adventurers.
They can't all be life potions...
The recovery amount of a single bottle of healing potion is 30% of the blood volume, which has nothing to do with the adventurer's strength.
But this is a small bottle of life potion, in addition to the medium bottle of life potion that restores 60%, and the large bottle of life potion that restores 90%...
Well, there is also a super large bottle with 100% recovery...
But where did these guys get so much?
Yan Mu completely underestimated the adventurers' respect for fame.
Ever since the first bottle of life potion dropped, the Overlord adventurer team began planning their current plan to become famous.
Although the current life potion is also expensive, it is far from the teleportation potion.
After all, the life potion can at most restore injuries, but the delivery potion can save lives at critical moments.
At the same time, priests also replaced part of the role of life potions.
So in the past few days, they have been looking for teams with priests to exchange teleportation potions for life potions at low prices.
The price of a single bottle of teleportation potion is about 30, and one bottle of such teleportation potion can be exchanged for ten bottles of life potion...
When there is no teleportation potion, it is directly traded with crystal cards and purchased at a price of [-] per bottle.
Almost half of the team's savings were emptied, plus four bottles of teleportation potions obtained by killing the Goblin Lord four times, and one bottle obtained by killing a giant boulder golem, the current number of potions was reached...
It would be no exaggeration to say that this wave was ruined. It became famous and became the focus of adventurers.
If you lose, you will go bankrupt and become a talking point among the adventurers.
After all, when I first came in, in order to achieve the best effect, I mocked many adventurers.
"Bang!" A tentacle rubbed the hem of the strong man's clothes and hit the ground under his feet hard, splashing mud all over the strong man.
The strong man dodged the blow and looked back at the adventurer who had just been knocked away, revealing his big shining white teeth...
"Xiong Da, can't you?"
The adventurer named Xiong Da scratched his head in embarrassment.
Swinging the giant hammer again, he charged towards the Octopus Lord.
However, a sudden change occurred at this time, and the originally peaceful swamp suddenly stirred up waves, and more than a dozen tentacles suddenly rushed out of the water.
In the blink of an eye, two more people were knocked away.
The captain shuttled back and forth between several tentacles.
"Watch your position! We have plenty of time, don't be impatient!"
With that said, a few people jumped out of the combat range and looked for opportunities again.
"Oh!"
Another adventurer was unable to dodge and was knocked away on the spot.
But the adventurer screamed and hit his head with a war hammer!
"What's going on! Tieshan, go and stop him!"
The captain was shocked when he noticed it.
He quickly ordered another team member to stop him.
But as soon as Tieshan arrived in front of the adventurer, the adventurer woke up.
Looking at the bloody war hammer in his hand, he was stunned.
What happened to me just now?
At the same time, I am secretly glad that I replaced my giant sword with the current war hammer some time ago...
"What are you still doing? Take the medicine!"
Tieshan, who arrived, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the adventurer regaining his senses, then turned around and continued to join the battle.
Yan Mu held his forehead, and the adventurer opened his backpack. As expected, it was full of life potions.
I haven't even had time to arrange the monsters on the third floor yet, so I'm going to be cleared?
The ensuing battle gradually became more intense, and the number of tentacles in this swamp reached nearly two hundred.
Fortunately, the location of the tentacle summons is completely random, and there is no clustering phenomenon.
In addition, two people were separated to clean up the tentacles near the battlefield, which had little impact on the battle.
The Octopus Lord's health dropped to the edge of residual health.
Yan Mu didn't need to look at it at all. This team just used potions to defeat them...
At present, each of them has about five or six bottles of potions on hand.
In addition, these guys all use war hammers, and the effect of Octopus Lord's characteristics has been weakened by most...
Yan Mu had another headache.
He didn't consider the possibility of clearing the newly laid out maze in one go.
As the leading man jumped up high, he struck the octopus lord in the eye again with a hard blow. The whole octopus let out a wail and collapsed.
At the same time, the corpse expanded rapidly, reaching the edge of explosion within a few seconds.
"Back off! It's going to explode!"
"Oh!"
While the entire lord was rapidly corrupting, a large amount of black stinking slime also erupted.
The few people who had no time to evacuate were immediately doused with water, and the six people became completely black...
"Yuck~"
A group of six people were so smoked that they vomited violently.
I can't stand up at all.
Yan Mu can only say that he did a great job.
After all, their rogue style of play makes Yan Mu, the Demon King, very unhappy...
By the time everyone recovered, the huge octopus carcass had long since disappeared.
There is an octopus heart the size of a fist floating on the water, and a bottle of golden potion also floating on the water.
But it seems to be a bit far from the shore.
Need to swim to get over...
Several people looked at the stinky swamp and looked at each other.
"Forget it, go all out!"
The captain dove directly into the black water of the swamp.
He grabbed two items and quickly returned to the shore.
Everyone immediately gathered around and took the strange heart that was still beating from the captain.
[Heart of the Octopus (Consumption): After consumption, there is a chance that the dual-purpose ability will be permanently enabled, and there is a chance of increasing a small amount of blood and mana recovery. 】
Yan Mu couldn't help but admire their good luck.
The chance of dropping this item is only 5%. Is it a first pass reward?
Naturally, there was more than that. About four to five hundred gold coins sank directly into the mud of the swamp. The captain did not see it when he passed by.
The group of people returned to the giant door, took out their spare clothes from their backpacks, and dressed neatly.
However, everyone always felt that something was slightly wrong around them.
The scenery in his sight will distort and deform from time to time, and whispers will come from his ears from time to time, as if he is in another dimension.
It makes people very upset and angry.
He even clearly felt that his temper was becoming more difficult to suppress.
This is extremely fatal to adventurers.
After finishing everything, the captain waved his hand and walked directly out of the dark red door.
The adventurers outside who were still waiting for the six of them to be eliminated were dumbfounded on the spot.
What's going on? Is it so simple?
Doesn’t that mean it’s okay for me to go up to you?
Some adventurers tried to enter the giant door through the opened gap, but were blocked by an invisible wall.
The other adventurers surrounded the six people.
The six people who should have been extremely happy all felt a little disgusted, and even found it difficult to suppress their anger.
And when there are more people, the whispers in the ears become more chaotic. Although the sound is very small, it drowns out the noisy adventurers' voices around them.
Several people quickly squeezed out of the crowd, leaving the cheering adventurers stunned on the spot.
Why is this different from what was expected?
This is a rare opportunity to make a name for yourself. What if your team has to live here for dozens of days and hang dozens of banners?
Yan Mu looked at the sanity bars above the heads of the six people and fell into deep thought.
The sanity system is only activated in some distorted environments and represents the mental state of the adventurers.
The full value is 100 points.
From 0 to 30 o'clock, you will hear whispers in your ears, and it will be difficult to suppress your emotions.
From 30 to 60 points, the monsters that adventurers see will gradually become twisted, terrifying, and dark, and they will feel the malice of the people around them all the time.
At 60 to 90 points, all monsters will become bloody and twisted, and sometimes even mistake other adventurers for monsters. When you enter a state of losing your mind, you will imagine being insulted and attacked by others, and you will feel pain on your body. Increase your own strength by 50%.
90 to 100 points, it will be completely crazy! Attack everything around you. Sanity can only be restored after being killed and kicked out of the maze. Increase your own strength by 200%.
