Mysterious Tower, Level 33.
In a deep forest, towering ancient trees block out the sky and the sun, and the canes are entangled between the trees, as if they are covered with layers of large nets, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate, making this place particularly eerie.
Under the ancient trees that are hundreds of meters high, a team of five people is walking through.
There were three men and two women in the team, all around 20 years old. Four of them looked relatively relaxed, except for the girl who was faintly surrounded by the middle. Her expression and movements were obviously tense.
Walking directly in front, a young man wearing cyan armor noticed this, turned around and spread his hands easily: "Don't be nervous, Wuzi, they said that the 33rd floor is a floor that has been 'fully explored' by players."
The so-called complete exploration of a floor means that players have walked through every location on this floor, knowing the distribution of monsters in every place, and eliminating all dangerous floors.
"I, I know, Brother Yoshiyuki." The girl named Kiriko had a baby face, her hands on her chest, and her voice and expression were delicate in response.
Kawaii~ Negishi Yoshiyuki suddenly shouted in his heart, his lips turned up and his nostrils were enlarged, showing a crazy expression, and he returned to normal in an instant.
Not noticing the expressions of the other three people in the team rolling their eyes as they looked at each other, he walked backwards and waved his hands: "The guide for this level must have been a year and nine months ago. I still remember this.
The boss on the first floor was a humanoid tiger that was over five meters tall, a white tiger. I was in the strategy team at the time, and I shaved it off with a few cuts..."
After artistically processing past experiences, Negishi Yoshiyuki said: "The forest we are in is also called the 'Giant Forest'. It is the place where monsters spawn the most on the 33rd floor. It is also the only place above the 20th floor of the Mysterious Tower where you don't have to worry about poisonous insects.
of forest.
Just like the trees, there will only be some huge monsters spawned here, including behemoths that are thirty or forty meters high. So we don't need to worry about sneak attacks, as the actions of those behemoths will cause huge noises.
Also because those giant beasts have thick skin and thick blood, few people come here to level up, so there is no need to guard against some annoying guys. There are four players from our strategy team to help you level up, Wuzi, and you can level up here.
It won’t take long to reach level 30!”
"Well, thank you, Brother Yi Xing."
"You're welcome." Negishi Yoshiyuki smiled and raised a finger: "Oh, there is one more thing you must remember. In addition to monsters, there is also a poisonous mushroom called 'Dream Mushroom' that grows here. There are many poisonous mushrooms.
It has strong hallucinogenic properties, even if you just touch it, you may fall into a 'sweet dream'."
Having said this, he heheed twice as if he had aftertaste, then lowered his voice, leaned a little closer to Wuzi and said: "Although dreams are really beautiful, we can't be greedy. If we indulge in dreams, we will be transformed into
A corpse covered with mushrooms..."
Wuzi's face turned pale and she shrank her neck.
Negishi Yoshiyuki, who was aroused to be protective, was about to be comforted when he suddenly saw Kiriko stretching out her slender fingers and gently pointing behind Negishi Yoshiyuki.
Negishi Yoshiyuki, who had been walking backwards, suddenly stopped walking and turned around in confusion.
In an instant, an extremely fishy smell hit his face, and a bloody mouth was less than 30 centimeters away from his head!
"Grass?!"
His face instantly turned pale with fright. Negishi Yoshiyuki slashed with his sword at the fastest speed in his life. A stream of blue ice spurted out in a fan shape, directly freezing a large area of the ground in front of him, and cut a piece of ice that was over 20 meters long and over half the diameter.
The giant python of rice is frozen!
"Huh...huh..." After taking a few rough breaths and making sure that everything was alright, he turned back and gave the girl Wuzi a handsome smile: "You should be more careful, I was almost attacked by this beast.
I scared you, Wuzi, it’s okay, we are all on the strategy team, and we even fought a lot of bosses, this little thing... uh, eh?!”
Where is my companion? How did this python get so close to me? He turned around blankly and saw three smiling companions standing on both sides of his frozen ground, looking like they had succeeded in their prank.
Looking at the frozen python, he discovered another problem. Although the python's mouth was wide open, there was no sign of life. There was an obvious huge gap in the snake's seven inches, which broke the snake's heart.
His face suddenly turned green and white: "I asked you why you didn't hear any movement, but you secretly killed a python and carried it to scare me?!"
"We are afraid that you will scare Wuzi." Another girl in the team said with a smile: "Do you think I wouldn't tell Wuzi about the situation here last night? Don't be too enthusiastic, brother Yi Xing."
Negishi Yoshiyuki blushed slightly and defended in a low voice: "It would never be wrong to remind you more..."
"But we didn't kill the python." Another young man said, "When we found it, it was already a corpse."
"Ah?" Negishi Yoshiyuki was startled, and he looked closely at the python's wound. It was even clearer in the frozen state. He frowned and said: "Well, it looks like it was torn apart by sharp claws. It was very powerful and clean.
The fatal hit is probably a monster like a giant ape, it won’t be far away, everyone, be careful.”
"That's right. Brother Yi Xing is quite serious when he is serious." The girl in the team laughed.
Negishi Yoshiyuki was shocked. He glanced at Kiriko and found that she was looking at him with admiration. He immediately puffed up his chest and became excited: "Where was the snake corpse found? I'll go over and have a look."
After a while of vague analysis, the team who continued to go deeper slowed down their pace, and soon found a...dinosaur lying on the ground.
The giant beast, which was probably nearly 50 meters long, was extremely intimidating, but Negishi Yoshiyuki smiled awkwardly: "Ahem, the giant ape may have been driven away by this dragon beast... (Awkward, I looked in the wrong direction.
?)”
"Xiaochun, protect Wuzi, wait until we beat it to death, and let Wuzi do the last-ditch attack!"
According to the arrangement, he took the first step and rushed towards the dinosaur. He rushed all the way to a position 20 meters away from the dinosaur, and then suddenly stopped.
"Isn't it?"
"What killed it?!"
The other two teammates exclaimed. After getting closer, they discovered that the huge dinosaur-like monster had a deep dent in its head, as if it had been crushed by some huge force. Like the giant python, it had already been lost.
life.
The three of them came closer to check, and the two girls who found something wrong also came closer. Their faces gradually became a little heavy. Wasn't this layer fully explored? Why can't they figure out which monster is responsible for this?
Players? Those guys with hammers?
"...It's okay." Seeing Kiriko's expression become more nervous, Negishi Yoshiyuki patted his chest: "There may be mutated monsters. What haven't our strategy team players seen? Kiriko, you don't have to be afraid!"
The team moved forward at a slower pace. After spending more than ten minutes in a depressing atmosphere, they stopped again.
The scene in front of them made the four players of the strategy team stand on the spot blankly. Even Kiroko grabbed her arm in fear and Negishi Yoshiyuki failed to give any response.
He had never seen this scene before.
I saw the corpses of more than a dozen giant beasts filling the ground in front of me, and the towering ancient trees also fell one after another.
Among the corpses of giant beasts are a 20-meter-tall rooster with its claws piercing its chest, a giant ape with its head twisted 180 degrees, a giant tiger impaled to the ground by a tree hugged by two people, and a giant tiger that was broken into pieces.
The two sections are not like living things.
Cruel and bloody!
Each died in a different way, but the same thing is that they all died very neatly!
"In the end what happened?"
"Have the army come here to clean up?!"
"Don't be kidding, the army doesn't have such ability, right? This is the 33rd floor, a bunch of high-level monsters around level 40!"
"Brother Yi Xing, how about... let's go?"
Negishi Yoshiyuki swallowed, turned to look for Kiroko, and then realized that she was leaning against him, so he swallowed again: "Ahem, that's it..."
Ding~ The sudden prompt from the information panel made him pause for a moment, he opened the inventory, took out the communication crystal, and activated it by imbuing it with spiritual power.
A calm male voice came from among them: "We have found the coordinates of the boss on the 50th floor, hurry up and gather on the 45th floor!"
Negishi Yoshiyuki's expression suddenly relaxed, and he took a long breath and said: "Tsk, there is no way. It is important to defeat the boss. The strategy team cannot do without me. With this small situation on the 33rd floor, we can wait until we clear the boss on the 50th floor.
Come back and cook!”
The five people looked at each other, turned around, and ran quickly in the direction they came from!
…
It's more than ten kilometers away from here.
In the clearing of the forest, next to a large firewood pot, Ji Xing was stirring the boiling soup with a large spoon.
While the ingredients in the soup are tumbling, you can faintly see the most essential parts of certain organisms or the most tender pieces of meat, as well as many brightly colored mushrooms, green vegetables, onions and ginger as seasoning ingredients.
Feeling that this pot of 'Shiquan Dabu Soup' was almost full, Ji Xing scooped up a light spoonful.
"Hi~ha~scent!"
As he closed his eyes and tasted it, Ji Xing had a vague feeling of being embraced by Kaguya. He shook his head and said: "This dream mushroom is very powerful and not serious."
At this time, it had been a month since he entered the mysterious tower, and he basically understood the situation of this place of rules that was born due to the overlapping of worlds.
Hunter's Dark Continent, Sword Art Online's SAO game, and Yu Yu Hakusho are all integrated in a harmonious and outrageous way.
For example, this kind of 'dream mushroom' is probably a disaster that ranks around the D level of danger in the dark continent. At the same time, it is also a treasure for training for some beings with strong mental resistance.
Through the treasure-hunting Rat Guild in Argo of Rats, Ji Xing also learned about the disaster treasures that appeared on the 49th floor that players have already conquered, or in other words, the situation on the 29th floor from the 21st to the 49th floor.
There is nothing familiar, they are probably CDE-level dangerous things. The first fifty floors are obviously just the beginning for the mysterious tower.
The only exception is the 'immortal disease' on the 46th floor. Although this dangerous virus listed among the five major disasters is easy to isolate, it is very lethal. However, there is something different in that the treasure accompanying the immortal disease is not the alchemy plant Metaleon.
It's something called resurrecting grass.
The place was tightly blocked by the army, so Ji Xing did not go there to explore it for the time being.
He is not in a hurry. Even if the time ratio here is 1:1 with the time in the Demon Continent, since Ji Xing has no other world to invade, the remaining seven years before the change in the Demon Continent can be spent on
Here, after all, digital hierarchical rules are a good thing.
Over the past month, Ji Xing has been improving his strength and was promoted to the next level.
Now his telepathy ability (human), telepathy ability (qi) and absolute strength have each been improved by one or two levels, and his strength has also improved to a certain extent.
The level has reached level 41.
Level: Level 41 (220,000/10 million)
When the strategy group is about level 60, Ji Xing maintains this speed of killing monsters along the way, and it will be almost the same in two months. After all, there is a fundamental gap in the speed of killing monsters.
Ji Xing has installed 40 of the 41 skill slots at level 41. During the break in training, Ji Xing also practices and improves other skills that Ji Xing thinks can be used in Demon Continent and other invading worlds in the future.
Such as cooking.
Cooking skills: Special level (level 1) (70,000/200,000) → Special level (level 2) (116,000/400,000)
After cooking this pot of Shiquan Dabu Decoction, thousands of experience points were recorded. He was able to use ingredients that were difficult for ordinary chefs to collect to improve his skills. His own calculation and use of ingredients also became more precise with in-depth research.
Take it with a grain of salt!
Eat meat and drink soup.
Not even the dream mushroom was left, all turned into energy and entered Ji Xing's stomach.
Standing up and doing a set of punches, his physical strength and mental abilities gradually increased. Ji Xing skillfully washed and scrubbed the pots and put everything in his inventory.
Ding~
Just as he was finishing this daily operation, a notification sound suddenly came from the information panel, and Ji Xing took the opportunity to take out the communication crystal from the inventory.
This kind of communication crystal is obviously imprinted with divine characters, and Ji Xing can also make it.
He activated the communication crystal and found that it was a group message from his 'president'.
Argo of Mouse: "Latest information, a team of raiders has finally found the coordinates of the boss on the 50th floor, and the team is gathering on the 45th floor. As before, contact your familiar high-level players, senior blacksmiths, tailors, chefs, etc. immediately.
Careers can also choose to go to the 45th floor voluntarily!”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The boss on the 50th floor?
Ji Xing has learned that it has been almost four months since players landed on the 50th floor. Compared with the previous average progress of one level per month, just searching for the boss on this 50th floor has been several times longer.
Many people think that half of this 100-story mysterious tower may be unusual.
At this time, there was another ding, and a private chat request from Argo the Rat came.
"Ji Xing, where have you been to level up during this time? Why is there no news at all?"
Ji Xing replied: "You don't know? It seems that the intelligence work is not done well enough."
"I'm investigating what you do, but I can't sell you for a kel." Argo said angrily: "You have heard what I just said, right? If you plan to go to the 45th floor, come with me. Your appearance is too
Now that you're awake, I'm afraid some people will invite you, and you won't be able to tell the difference between a small-minded guy."
"That's it." Ji Xing thought for a while and said: "I plan to go to the 45th floor, but I haven't seen the players in the strategy group yet. President, could you please report the situation of the boss remotely? The first one to enter the mysterious tower
Boss, I’m quite interested.”
"...It's okay, I save the trouble."
…
At the same time, Yoshiyuki Negishi and the five others who flew all the way out of the forest and teleported to the 45th floor met their friend who had sent them a message.
As if he had left the fear of the 33rd floor behind at this moment, he calmly asked: "What's the situation? Which guild found the boss?"
"Arrow to shoot the sun." His friend answered him and glanced at Wuzi: "New member?"
"Well, Wuzi is one of our own."
The friend nodded, swiped from the inventory and took out a stack of photos: "It's no wonder the Boss is so hard to find this time. He is not in a building, but has opened a venue like a competition ring deep in the bushes.
."
Looking at the photos one by one, Negishi Yoshiyuki's expression was a little strange: "This place... we seem to have been nearby?"
Several people in the team around him looked at each other and shook their heads with some impression. Their eyes focused on the last photo, the two figures captured in the distance.
"Humanoids, and they are very ordinary humanoids. There are only two of them, and there are no monsters. It is twice as hard to find. No wonder."
Faintly appearing in the photo is a tall man with sunglasses and a meticulous expression. On his shoulders lies a relatively thinner man.
Judging from past experience, this is obviously a Boss combination.
Negishi Yoshiyuki's friend nodded and said: "The person who shot the arrow of the sun lost his investigation. These are a pair of brothers. The person on the shoulder is the elder brother, Toguro brother, and the one standing is the younger brother, Toguro brother!"
"
"Brother Toguro?" Yoshiyuki Negishi observed carefully: "It looks... ordinary."
