In the dark and deep passage, a little light came from afar. A group of more than 20 people walked slowly with lanterns. As the scenery in front of them changed, the man in front of them, who was dressed like a poker player, suddenly used his strength to He waved his hand and said in a majestic voice:
"Sneak attacks are prohibited here."
The position with a little bit of electric light spread, and a series of sharp screams suddenly sounded in the darkness.
The lightless black flame followed closely, turning into a ring of fire and spreading outward, igniting the monster in the darkness silently. Amidst the shrill struggles and wails, the team continued to move forward.
Each cabin in the Ghost Empire is very huge. This is not because of mindless scaling in design. In fact, when the ship was first established, every compartment was designed based on the normal size of a human being. But over the course of thousands of years, under the influence of the characteristics of the Hand of Order, the ship was imbued with a certain order. Rooms with similar functions and similar internal structures began to slowly merge, and finally turned into huge, as if A labyrinth world like a small ecological circle.
The crew room has become an undead lair full of undead and resentful spirits; the storage cabin is filled with various golems; the watertight cabin originally used to isolate water has now been filled with seawater; the original kitchen has also become Mountains of swords and seas of fire...
The MI9 team took a map that was only about 40% complete and used the normal sailboat structure as a guide to start exploring the maze.
"Collect the loot and check if there are any lighting facilities nearby." Grove quickly gave the order, and the members of MI9 dispersed in groups of three.
Not long after, as a fire suddenly rose, the gloomy atmosphere was swept away.
The maze cabins of the Ghost Empire are not really dark. In fact, many cabins have lighting equipment, but these devices need to be triggered manually. Most of the time, adventurers don’t even have time to deal with the monsters in the dark, so where are they? Spare energy to stimulate lighting equipment.
Soon, a few people who collected the trophies came back, holding several fist-sized squirming internal organs in their hands.
The Ghost Empire ship has the ability to actively absorb extraordinary characteristics. If it is not stripped immediately after killing a monster, it will be recycled by the Ghost Empire and reprocessed into a monster.
For monsters, you can speed up your movements to reduce losses, but if the person who dies is an Extraordinary, the body and the body will often be absorbed by the ship before the Extraordinary characteristics are released.
"The level of materials has been significantly improved. It seems that we are heading in the right direction." Integra looked at the extraordinary materials and said with a hint of admiration.
Novat, who was responsible for summarizing the intelligence and drawing the map, couldn't help but show a proud look, but only for a moment, he forcibly calmed down to prevent himself from falling into the witch's trap.
She didn't care about his posture due to Teguerra disease. She looked at the environment in the cabin and couldn't help but sigh:
"The original function here is completely lost. Speaking of which, this ship would actively destroy the internal structure. This is a bit unreasonable."
"It's just for humans." Grove shook his head slightly, and as a chaos hunter, he spoke from experience:
"People have their own order, and ships have their own rules. The original structure of the Ghost Empire was to allow humans to live a normal and comfortable life, so a large number of compartments suitable for human sizes were needed. However, there are no humans living on the Ghost Empire. What it needs is an isolation layer that can protect itself, so the watertight cabin will be filled with water, and the dormitories will be merged... What humans find unreasonable is just arrogance from their own perspective."
"His Royal Highness is like a philosopher." There was an inexplicable meaning in Integra's tone, but Grove did not respond. He just scanned the areas suitable for hiding, but did not clean them. Lead the team directly towards the door a few hundred meters away.
For the Ghost Empire with the characteristics of the creator, there is no end to the monsters. In other words, the more you kill now, the more characteristics the Ghost Empire can recycle and create more monsters in the future. in position.
Rather than that kind of result, it would be better to leave more monsters and let them have the characteristics of Ghost Empire, just like a real-time strategy game has a stuck population.
The team advanced slowly. Under the leadership of two demigod-level experts, the whole process was smooth sailing. However, both Grove and Integra faintly sensed something was wrong.
Because the strength of these monsters is too average.
Although among the Extraordinaries who died in the Ghost Empire, there were no strong ones above Sequence 5, but the monsters transformed by the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 6 and Sequence 7 never appeared. Not only that, Integra even felt that the ghosts The empire has almost no resistance to "Extraordinaries exploring the labyrinth". Otherwise, not to mention sending more monsters, just setting stricter rules would be enough to keep the vast majority of adventurers here.
But in fact, the survival rate of adventurers who enter the maze to explore is over ten percent.
Don’t be too little. For a relic of the Ghost Empire’s caliber, this is a miraculous survival rate. In fact, let alone the Ghost Empire, even the relics involving the demigod legacy, Wild Adventurer Adventure The survival rate is also this number.
In fact, this is a good thing for most people, because it means an increase in exploration efficiency.
But for Integra, this is not the case.
It was precisely because of the misjudgment of the mortality rate that the few rules she added showed obvious deviations in the operation process, so that even without accumulating enough bugs, they began to show differences with the original rules of the Ghost Empire. compatible.
"What on earth is this big ship thinking? Or, is it actually not thinking about anything? It's just following specific rules and acting? But it shouldn't be! The reason why a ghost ship is a ghost ship is because it has...etc. one time!"
A possibility suddenly appeared in Integra's mind, and his eyes became a little dangerous. Is the Ghost Empire really just a big ship that came to life?
Is it really just a ghost ship?
When the thought came up, Integra unleashed a trick on himself. Almost at the same time, Grove showed a vigilant look——
"Ms. Integula, what have you done?"
It’s not the fault of Grover’s vigilance, it’s actually that the mental state displayed by this witch is very strange. Although she maintains considerable rationality both in spirit and communication, she always appears to have some incongruities, such as being inexplicable. She became vigilant, or showed murderous intent when there were no enemies. If Chaos Hunter's ability hadn't confirmed that she was in good condition, Grove would have even suspected that this woman was on the verge of losing control.
"Don't be nervous...I just found a little problem..."
