After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 129 Ryan: Do you understand the value of "Monster Hunter"? (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

Amid the strong earthquake, the entrance to the underground labyrinth finally slowly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Seen from a distance, it looks like a raised four-sided pyramid, with a slowly flowing vortex door on its four sides.

With the emergence of the underground labyrinth, professionals on the entire outlying island can clearly feel the sharp increase in the concentration of free spirituality in the environment.

If the original concentration of free spirituality was 0.1, it is now at least 0.3.

It was not until around 0.5 that this surge trend gradually slowed down.

The increase of dissociated spirituality is definitely not a good thing for living beings.

It is true that in a high-concentration spiritual environment, living beings have a greater probability of transforming into spiritual creatures, also known as monsters, but for humans, the disadvantages outweigh the benefits - ordinary human bodies cannot withstand the intrusion of spirituality. , but will produce all kinds of strange "deformities".

Of course, it will take time for this phenomenon to gradually appear. Currently, the most intuitive impact of high-concentration spirituality is that a large number of sea monsters will gather around the outlying islands and even land ashore.

But for the "criminals with ulterior motives" on the outlying island at this moment, these are all things of the past. Now, in their eyes, there is only the open "underground maze"!

That represents countless opportunities and wealth!

Almost instantly, a large number of professionals rushed from all directions in the underground maze, just to come out on top.

At this moment, the entire Santos Kingdom became turbulent. There were only two places on the huge outlying island that were not greatly affected by the earthquake.

One is the Palace of Saint Toss, and the other is the main hall of the Libra Holy Cult.

Both sides of the sacred duel ground.

Pope Libra and Princess Water Drop looked at each other from afar, without words or conversation. They both turned and left at the same time.

The seal of the underground labyrinth has been broken, and a huge disaster is about to occur. It is meaningless to continue fighting now.

Although there are no other major hazards except earthquakes, the monsters in the underground labyrinth have not yet reacted. When a large number of monsters leave the underground labyrinth, if there is no timely suppression, the entire outlying island will surely be destroyed. Rivers of blood flowed.

As the two left, the First Adjudicator and the Pure White Female Knight also left directly.

Soon, a huge spiritual sound wave spread to the entire outlying island.

"The seal of the underground labyrinth has been broken, and the people on the outlying island are in danger. I, the droplet princess Ariel, hereby issue a petition on behalf of the Santos royal family: I invite all professionals to go to the underground labyrinth and defeat the monsters. With the monster's head, you can go there In front of the Santos Palace, they can be converted into achievement points and exchanged for various treasures in the palace’s treasury!”

"Including: various mid-level and low-level rare items, finished magic potions, extraordinary knowledge, magic potion formulas, etc."

The appearance of the announcement ignited the ambitions of those professionals who were ready to wait and see before making any plans. Especially after someone went to the Kingdom of Santos to check the specific exchange list, they found that there were indeed mid-level rare items and even Santos among them. The people from the Sri Lankan royal family also demonstrated it to ensure that it was true. Suddenly, almost everyone could not sit still.

You know, some bold pirates and adventurers have already entered the underground maze, and the number of these high-end exchange items is extremely limited. Once they are exchanged, they will not be able to exchange for anything even if they get enough battle points. .

If you look down from above the offshore island, you will find that a large number of black spots are rushing towards the rising underground maze.

……

The darkness in front of my eyes gradually faded.

Ryan opened his eyes, and what came into his eyes was the dim stone wall with a glimmer of light.

"Did you get sucked into the underground maze?"

Ryan stood up holding the stone wall and couldn't help but rub his eyebrows. At this moment, the dizziness still lingered in his mind.

The vortex generated when the underground labyrinth was breached was very attractive. To put it figuratively, it was like a centrifuge rotating at an ultra-high speed, and the people involved were spinning along with it uncontrollably.

The powerful [Physique] quickly made the dizziness and discomfort in Ryan's mind disappear.

He raised his head and looked around.

The place where he is now is a relatively spacious cave.

A large number of fluorescent plants disperse the darkness.

Just when Ryan was about to lift his feet and follow in a direction to explore, suddenly, his expression changed.

"Mr. Lane, Mr. Lane, can you hear me?"

A familiar voice appeared in Ryan's mind, it was Freni's voice.

Is it the communication function of the Dark Moon Demon Pattern?

Ryan thought of this, and then replied in his heart: "I'm here."

The transmission of "Dark Moon Demon Pattern" is very magical. It only takes a thought to transmit what you want to say. And currently, there seems to be no distance limit, and the effect is quite powerful.

Unfortunately, the engraving of the "Dark Moon Demon Pattern" requires a large amount of Freni's original power and cannot be used as a regular means of communication.

"Great!"

From the other end, Miss Witch's voice came with joy: "After the underground maze emerged from the surface, I called you for almost ten minutes, but I didn't get a response. I was scared..."

"Ahem, Mr. Lane, how are you now? Where are you?"

"I'm in the underground maze. I just woke up. I don't know exactly where I am. What's going on above you guys now?" Ryan first explained his current situation and then asked.

"After the underground labyrinth appeared, the water drop princess Dai Santos' royal family issued a call. A large number of professionals responded to the call and entered the underground labyrinth." After knowing that Ryan was fine, Freni's tone on the other end of the voice also relaxed a lot: "I and I Cecilia is also preparing to go in and explore.”

"The Santos royal family is quite generous this time. After defeating the monsters, the monsters' heads can be exchanged for achievement points, and then the achievement points can be exchanged for various precious materials."

"Understood..." Ryan nodded slightly.

"That's it for now. If anything happens, remember to contact me as soon as possible."

"it is good."

After the communication ended, Ryan stood there with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

According to the currently known information, the "theft of sacred objects" is closely related to Princess Water Drop and the Overturned Palace.

It is assumed here that the "theft of sacred objects" was indeed a joint effort between the Water Drop Princess and the Overturned Palace. Then, the Water Drop Princess must also be very clear about the consequences of losing the sacred objects - the sacred ritual cannot be carried out, and the underground labyrinth Once the seal is broken, a large number of monsters will emerge from the underground labyrinth to the surface, causing countless casualties.

But now, the call issued by the Water Drop Princess on behalf of the Santos royal family is to protect the people on the outlying islands.

This inconsistent approach gives people a strong contrast.

What is the significance of Princess Water Drop doing this?

Ryan couldn't understand.

"call……"

He breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head.

No matter what the purpose of the Water Drop Princess and the Overturned Palace is, for him, as long as he can obtain enough benefits while ensuring the safety of himself, Freni, and Cecilia, it is enough.

As for the rest, he was too lazy to care and didn't want to care.

Ryan was not in a hurry to leave. He raised his head and pressed the No. 7 overturned mask on his face between his eyebrows.

The overturning mask contaminated with "holy water droplets" can achieve information exchange within a certain area.

Following Ryan's control, he soon made contact with No. 3 Huang Bing, No. 4 Green Tide, No. 5 Qing Ling and No. 6 Blue Mountain.

But like Ryan, the four of them don't know where they are.

Fortunately, all four are currently safe.

"I initiate location sharing. You come towards my location. After gathering, we will go deep into the maze together."

Huang Bing spoke.

Naturally, other people have no objections to this.

Ryan stopped exchanging information and took steps in the direction guided by the mask.

The light in the cave was not bright, and there was a faint fishy smell in the air.

Walking along the passage, Ryan came to the end of the passage not long after.

What caught his eyes was a huge underground space.

As far as the eye can see, there are strange-shaped rocks and clusters of trees and vegetation. The plants here are different from the green plants on the ground, showing a faint blue or light blue color.

The underground labyrinth is a vast underground ecological space?

This thought came to Ryan's mind. Then, his eyes narrowed and he quickly turned his head to look at the lush bushes in front of him.

"rustle……"

In the breeze, the branches and leaves sway gently, making a subtle sound.

Everything seemed normal.

But Ryan could feel that there was a subtle and subtle spiritual fluctuation lurking behind the bushes, ready to launch a fatal sneak attack at any time.

"Not coming out?"

A cold light flashed in Ryan's eyes. He raised his hand to hold the hilt of the big sword behind him. After a short period of spiritual and power accumulation, the sword energy flew out.

Even if it was just a "period of energy accumulation" in the initial stage, with the blessing of Ryan's current [Physique] and [Spirituality], it still exploded with terrifying power.

When the sword energy passed by, a deep ravine was plowed out on the ground, and the monster in the bushes that felt the crisis could no longer suppress it and jumped out.

It was a mouse-like monster, but it was much larger than the average dog. The hair all over its body was rough and black. The most eye-catching thing was the single horn growing out from between its eyebrows. Purple luster.

-

[Poison-horned rat: A special kind of rat monster that likes to hide in dark places. It is very agile. The horn growing on its head can be launched when it encounters a crisis, causing violent poisonous damage to the enemy. It is difficult to use ordinary detoxification methods. get rid of. The poison sac in the poison horned rat's body is one of the auxiliary materials in many magic potions. 】

-

Facing the incoming sword energy, the poisonous horned rat let out a sharp "squeak" sound.

Its four claws emitted lavender spiritual light, and its body was like lightning, moving sideways to avoid the sword energy.

The poisonous horned rat that had just finished dodging looked up at the enemy's position, but was shocked to find that it was empty.

"Thorn-"

The sound of the air tearing exploded, and the fierce sword wind struck from behind the Poison Horned Rat. Before he knew it, Ryan had arrived behind it and slashed down with his big sword.

"Boom!"

The ground shook and a large number of cracks spread. Where the sword landed, a large pit with a radius of at least one meter appeared. In the center of the large pit was the poisonous horned rat whose flesh and blood had become blurred and whose original shape could not be seen.

The sword was sheathed, and Ryan put the poisonous horned rat into the space ring.

The strength of the Poison Horned Rat is not very strong, at best it is at the level of the second level. It may be a bit tricky for the second level elite professionals, but for Ryan, it is just a sword.

However, the appearance of the poisonous horned rat also gave Ryan a wake-up call.

In a place like the underground maze, if you continue to suppress your own aura, you will probably have a steady stream of troubles coming your way.

Thinking of this, Ryan let out a breath.

Obviously his face did not change at all, but if any living being looked at him, they would instinctively shudder.

It was the inexplicable aura that remained after killing a large number of monsters. On weekdays, Ryan tried his best to suppress this aura. Otherwise, anyone on the street would retreat and paralyze out of instinctive fear after seeing him. fall. That is crushing at the "ecological niche" level.

Hunters who can hunt monsters among monsters - special species, to a certain extent, are more terrifying existences than mutants.

In a place like the underground maze, Ryan, who no longer suppressed his aura, suddenly became the top of the monster ecological chain. The monsters who noticed this aura from a distance fled trembling with their tails between their legs.

If anyone could overlook the underground maze on this level, they would find a magical phenomenon. Wherever Ryan passed, all the monsters within a radius of several hundred meters fled outward, forming a strange large empty circle.

Thanks to this, Ryan traveled all the way without any monster jumping out to disturb him.

Not long after, Ryan arrived at the location of Huang Bing.

This is a small cave. Huang Bing is standing at the entrance of the cave. Around her, there are many monsters that have turned into ice sculptures.

Noticing Ryan's arrival, Huang Bing nodded slightly: "It's very fast."

Ryan nodded, walked not far from Huang Bing, and waited quietly.

Fifteen minutes later, Green Wave, Qing Ling and Blue Mountain also arrived one after another.

Unlike Qing Ling, who had sneaked into the shadows and appeared very relaxed, Green Wave and Lan Shan were in a lot of trouble.

The two encountered many monsters along the way, killing the weak ones and getting rid of the more troublesome ones.

Huang Bing's eyes swept over Luchao and Lanshan. Although he said nothing, the disgust in his eyes was very obvious.

Regarding this, Green Wave and Blue Mountain were upset, but had nothing to say.

This is what a hard-pressed melee professional is like.

"Through my observation, we should be on the first level of the underground maze now."

After everyone arrived, Huang Bing said softly:

"The guy on the Skeleton Altar before must have gone towards the depths of the maze. We have to hurry up and try to reach the entrance to the ninth floor before him."

"According to the information I know, basically, the entrances to the next level of the maze are located in the center of the maze."

"But one thing to note is that around the entrance, there is a high probability that the most powerful monsters on this layer are entrenched, and such a being is also called the master of the maze layer."

"Of course, the existence of the Labyrinth Floor Master is not all bad for us. The 'Hanged Man' on the Skeleton Altar will also be blocked by the Labyrinth Floor Master."

"Follow me. I have a simplified map of the underground labyrinth in my hand. Although it was many years ago, I think the terrain will not change much."

After Huang Bing finished speaking, Bendang headed east first.

Time was running out, so Ryan looked at each other and quickly followed Huang Bing towards the entrance to the next level.

……

Half an hour later, a small lake appeared in front of Ryan and others, and in the center of the lake, there was a whirlpool-like hollow.

"That should be the entrance to the next level."

Huang Bing said softly.

At this moment, the five people were standing in the shadow of a big tree next to the lake.

Ryan squinted his eyes and saw large pieces of blood and flesh floating on the lake.

"The leader of the maze floor is dead, and the Hanged Man should have entered the second floor."

"Let's go, follow."

Huang Bing swept out first and came to the top of the whirlpool entrance. Perhaps he pitied the few "close combat guys" in the team. Huang Bing also deliberately left an ice channel on the lake.

……

Just as Ryan and others were heading deeper into the underground maze.

The first batch of pirates and adventurers also came to the underground maze.

Bewitched by wealth and treasures, they soon paid a heavy price for their actions.

They were very happy when they first met the monster.

After all, it is not easy to encounter a monster in the outside world, on the vast sea, and even if you encounter it, most of it is not the type you need.

In the underground labyrinth, the monsters encountered are all relatively rare. Even if the materials on them are not used, they can be exchanged for a lot of wealth.

However, soon the pirates and adventurers stopped laughing.

There are too many monsters on the first floor of the underground maze, and they gather together for some unknown reason. There are often three or four of them when you encounter them.

Most of the pirates and adventurers who came to the maze were only at the second level. Facing monsters of the same level of strength, it was not easy to win alone, let alone more than a dozen.

Only a few of these third-level beings can easily hunt monsters.

After making a lot of sacrifices, the scene gradually stabilized - the powerful professionals went deeper, trying to hunt more powerful monsters and find more precious magic plants, while the weak ones stayed behind. Layer, use team cooperation to kill monsters bit by bit.

……

Under the leadership of Huang Bing, Ryan and his team speeded down the underground maze at a speed of more than an hour per floor.

Of course, the reason why it was so fast, apart from the death of all the maze floor masters, the biggest influencing factor was that there were no monsters jumping out to attack them along the way.

Regarding this, no matter it was Green Wave, Qing Ling, Blue Mountain, or Huang Bing, they were all confused.

Only Ryan knew that the reason why the monster did not dare to approach was because of the "hunter aura" remaining in him.

Even though he had regained control before meeting Huang Bing, the remaining aura still frightened the monsters to death.

The further down the underground maze, the stronger the monsters become and the sharper their perception becomes. Because the "Hunter Momentum" targets monsters, not humans, and it is just the remnants that have escaped, Huang Bing and others have nothing. Feel it.

About ten hours later, Ryan and others arrived at the entrance to the eighth floor.

The seventh floor of the underground maze is a red deserted land. There is no vegetation here. As far as the eye can see, there are only red rocks protruding from the ground.

The entrance to the eighth floor is located in a small basin surrounded by a large number of boulders.

Different from the previous ones, the master of the seventh floor of the labyrinth did not die, but was entrenched in the center of the basin, and the entrance to the eighth floor was right next to him.

Judging from the appearance, the seventh floor of the labyrinth looks like a huge stone lizard. Even if it is lying on the ground, its height is close to four meters. There is a strange liquid flowing like magma on the surface of its body.

Ryan and his group stood behind the boulder a little further away and started discussing.

"There are no signs of fighting. It seems that the 'Hanged Man' guy has not arrived here yet." Huang Bing said, with a hint of joy in his voice.

Going all the way deep, the masters of the maze floor all died at the hands of the Skeleton Altar "The Hanged Man". Obviously, not only Huang Bing had a map in his hands, but the Hanged Man also had a map in his hands. Otherwise, he would not have been able to beat Ryan and the others every time. The front of the person.

Although it is not clear why the Hanged Man did not arrive here one step ahead of them, there is no doubt that this is good news.

"The strength of the master of the seventh floor of the labyrinth, judging from the spiritual fluctuations, belongs to the third-order limit level, and the identity of the monster makes its strength stronger than the ordinary third-order limit."

"In order to guard against the sudden attack of the 'Hanged Man', Zifeng, there must be one person between you and me sitting on the edge."

"So, in the mission of conquering the seventh floor maze floor leader, I or you will be the main attacker, with Green Tide, Qing Ling and Lan Shan cooperating."

Green Chao, Qing Ling and Blue Mountain had no objections to Huang Bing's words.

During the battle in the St. Phil Underground Rift Valley, all three of them witnessed Zifeng's strength with their own eyes.

Especially the Green Tide.

He couldn't figure out why Zifeng, who had been unable to defeat even him in just a few days, had such great strength.

In the end, he could only conclude that Zifeng hid his strength when fighting him.

After all, in such a short period of time, Green Chao really couldn't imagine how he could achieve such a huge improvement in strength without promotion.

In the hearts of Green Chao, Qing Ling and Lan Shan, Zifeng is now strong enough to rival Huang Bing.

What Huang Bing said now also represented the fact that in her heart, Zifeng's strength was similar to hers.

"Based on the appearance of the master of the seventh floor of the labyrinth, I guess it is a fire-attributed monster. My ability is just right to restrain it. This battle is up to me..."

Before Huang Bing finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ryan: "I will do this crusade."

Facing Huang Bing's slightly puzzled gaze, Ryan explained: "My spiritual perception is not strong and I cannot detect the approach of the Hanged Man in time. In comparison, your perception is much stronger."

"Therefore, I am here to attack the master of the labyrinth floor, and you are responsible for monitoring all directions. This is the best plan."

After listening to Ryan's story, Huang Bing nodded slightly and then asked: "Are you sure?"

Ryan smiled, walked towards the lizard monster in the small basin, and said with Huang Bing on his back: "Of course."

"You can just stand aside and sweep the formation for me."

Huang Bing was slightly stunned. She originally thought Zifeng would be more modest, but she didn't expect him to be so confident.

You know, this is the maze layer master, not an ordinary third-level extreme monster.

Ignoring the reactions of Huang Bing and others behind him, Ryan raised his hand and grasped the hilt of the big sword behind him, and walked quickly towards the maze floor master.

If it were other types of monsters, he would not dare to say such "big words".

But the size of the master of the seventh floor of the labyrinth...

Do you understand the value of "Monster Hunter"?

Ryan grinned slightly.

This was the first time that he faced such a huge monster with his own body, but for some reason, he didn't feel panic at all, only calm.

Maybe it's because the traveling clone has encountered more and stronger "monsters"...

Ryan's undisguised footsteps immediately alerted the seventh floor maze master.

Its huge body stretched out, its ferocious head raised, black smoke poured out of its nostrils, and it let out a thundering roar.

"Roar--!"

The violent air waves swept around, and countless gravels on the ground flew away.

What greeted the maze floor master was a bloody spear that penetrated with one blow.

"Is it important to have a loud voice?"
