Strange Recovery was turned into an online game by me

Chapter 273 The Maze of the Dead

【Ding! 】

【mission completed! 】

[Experience + 5, gold coins + 10, you have obtained "Summoning Runestones! 】

Yu Xiao received a notification that the task was completed.

This task itself is not complicated, so the rewards are also very general. Experience and gold coins are nothing to Yu Xiao now, and the reward items are just consumables.

[Summoning Runestone] (consumable), white top-grade, can apply a mark to a living unit, and summon it to the side instantly from a distance, and the remaining use times are 3/3.

Although the quality is average.

But the effect is ok.

Can be used to summon teammates.

It can be of great use at critical times.

After Yu Xiao collected the rewards, he asked Thorn about the situation carefully.

Luo Nan's dungeon master probably knows Helena's current identity, and the purpose of capturing Thorn should also be to use him to threaten Helena at a critical moment.

After all, since the mother of the siblings died.

They can be said to be each other's only relatives.

Even if it can cause a little disturbance to Helena, then this hostage is valuable, even if it fails, it doesn't matter, it's just an insignificant illegitimate child.

As for Thorne.

By hypnosis and reading memory.

Yu Xiao also did not get any valuable clues.

Because in the past ten years, Thorne and Helena have rarely met. He only knows that Helena has joined the Black Truth Church with a high probability, but he doesn't know the status of his sister in the church now.

After Yu Xiao thought about it a little.

He decides to tell Thorne the truth.

"From the information I have, your sister Helena is already the acting leader of the Black Truth. All the recent attacks on Luo Nan, including the one that happened today, are all related to her."

when hearing this.

Thorn's face changed drastically.

Although he knew that his elder sister might be an enemy of his father, and even joined this sect that was regarded as a cult, but he never thought that his elder sister would become the leader of the cult.

"How could this be?"

Thorne was clearly in a daze.

Yu Xiao said at this time: "I will participate in the investigation of the Black Truth Sect next."

Thorne hurriedly said: "My sister is definitely not an evil person. Even if she really did these crazy things, I think there must be a reason!"

Yu Xiao asked: "Really? What evidence do you have?"

Thorn showed a troubled expression.

Apparently he couldn't give any evidence.

Yu Xiao then arrived: "I will find out the truth of this matter. Now I am leaving. If you need it, I can take you with me."

Thorne thought about it.

Finally he shook his head.

Yu Xiao was a little surprised: "You don't want to go?"

Thorne said: "My lord, thank you very much for your help, but I can't leave here just yet."

"why?"

"The city lord has already set his sights on me. Unless I can completely leave Luo Nan's sphere of influence, it is impossible to get rid of the pursuit... But even if I can escape from this place, Uncle Doug and the others will definitely be implicated by me."

Thorne sighed: "Uncle Doug and the others are good people, I don't want anything to happen to those who care about me!"

It makes sense.

It is impossible for Yu Xiao to turn against the city lord for Thorne.

After all, Thorne is just a small person, and Yu Xiao cannot complete the main task without the cooperation of the city lord Luo Nan.

Thorn's branch is complete.

Yu Xiao has no reason to make trouble for herself.

However, after a little thought, he still took out the summoning runestone and left a summoning mark on his body.

did not expect.

Item just obtained.

It came in handy so quickly.

Summoning runestones can produce up to three marks, and then through summoning, the marked target will be summoned to the side.

Thorne may not be completely useless for the main line.

If it needs to be sent to this person in the future, then you only need to be within the sensing range of the summoning runestone, and you can summon him to your eyes instantly by means of summoning.

After doing this.

Yu Xiao left the secret prison.

Small side quests are over.

The rewards of the mission itself are no surprises.

But the intelligence gained through missions is critical.

After Yu Xiao went back.

Begin to organize clues and ideas.

It is now certain that the main missions involved in this dungeon must have something to do with the Black Truth, but it is not known what roles the church, Luonan City, Helena, and Edrat played in it.

There is not enough clues and intelligence right now.

Rather than thinking about it, it is better to take action.

Yu Xiao didn't wait too long, and received a message from the city lord that the preparations had been completed on Aidlart's side.

Next, Yu Xiao and the co-governance trio need to break through the cave of the dead and open up a safe route for the Luonan City army.

two hours later.

After meeting with the three members of the Co-governance Association, Yu Xiao took the transportation provided by Luonan City and arrived in the direction of the Lost Cave.

"Master Investigator!"

"We have reached the target area!"

In addition to the three strong members of the co-governance council, this operation also included an elite force led by Coker.

There are a total of 20 people in this army, all of them are experts from Luonan City, all of them have reached at least level [-], and everyone has alchemy equipment.

In front of Yu Xiao was a dense forest.

But the trees here are different from any kind on the surface.

Each of these plants, which are tentatively called trees, is very large in size, with countless irregular branches branching out from the main trunk, but there is not a single leaf attached to it.

If you have to describe it.

Yu Xiao thinks that these trees grow upside down.

The real main body of the trees is underground, and the roots are exposed in the air, which is why such a weird forest is formed.

Yu Xiao couldn't help asking: "Is this the entrance to the maze?"

Coker said: "Yes, the forest in front of us, we call it the Lost Forest, is the entrance area to the Maze of the Dead."

"For many years, the main reason why not many explorers are willing to set foot in the Cave of the Dead is that it is full of creeping trees."

"The creeping tree changes position every once in a while, which also makes the passages of the labyrinth complex, and even the most experienced explorers can easily get lost in it."

Yu Xiao nodded.

No wonder a strong force is needed to open the way.

If Luo Nan's army rashly enters the Cave of the Dead, once they go the wrong way and get lost, the huge army will be very passive and may cause huge losses.

Coker has a rough map of the Maze of the Dead in his hand.

Yu Xiao can roughly judge the area of ​​the maze through the map. Although the maze is very complex and large in scale, at their speed, if it goes well, they should be able to get through it in a day.

Should be in time.

There are still five days left in the dungeon world.

Yu Xiao: "Okay, since we've arrived, don't waste time, let's act immediately to get through this area."

"Yes!"

Everyone in Coker responded in unison.

Gabriel, Sally, and Lancelot looked at each other. The three of them were not simple figures in the main world, and they had quite high status even in the co-governance council.

With their strength and identity.

Disdain to obey the command of a native.

However, they obviously also know that the co-governance association has not gained a firm foothold in this world, and the investigator has an amazing force behind it.

Under such circumstances, even if you are reluctant, you should lower your figure and build a good relationship with the other party, which may be of great use in the future.

Everyone walked into the Lost Forest.

Yu Xiao walked in the front, Gabriel and the others followed closely, and Coker's troops were scattered around to take charge of security and reconnaissance.

As a result, it took less than a quarter of an hour to walk in.

Coker reminded: "Be careful, there are monsters ahead, they are approaching us!"

With Yu Xiao's perception ability.

The presence of monsters can be sensed even without a reminder.

Through the game map, he found that there were dozens of red monster signals approaching here from different directions.

Coker reported after reconnaissance: "This is the bloodthorn giant living in the Lost Forest, let us clean them up!"

Via Shadow Bat.

Yu Xiao saw the monster here.

The monster looked four or five meters tall, and at first glance it looked like a skinned Hulk with human-like limbs.

In every giant's flesh and blood.

Both are covered with sharp wooden points.

Similar to the spikes on a nearby creeping tree
[Bloodthorn Giant], a level 18 elite monster... Introduction: The monster in the Lost Forest was once a human explorer, but was deformed into a monster because of an unknown curse.

[Lord of the Bloodthorn Giant], a level 18 lord monster... Introduction: The leader of the blood giant in the Lost Forest was once a very powerful explorer, but because of an unknown curse, he deformed into a monster.

The Lost Forest is the outermost part of the Maze of the Dead.

The monsters that appear in this place are generally not very powerful. The strength and level of these giants are not as good as the Balrog Lizard.

Of course.

Mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are.

What's more, level 18 elites can't be called mosquitoes, they can be called sparrows anyway, not only have some meat, but the number is not small.

"do not waste time!"

"Keep moving forward!"

"Just let me handle these things!"

When Yu Xiao spoke, 24 swords overflowing with sword energy appeared around his body in an instant, and then turned into [-] meteors and rushed into the lush forest.

[You killed the "Bloodthorn Giant", experience +3000, gold coins +5000, you got the "Red Thorn Hammer"! 】

[You killed the "Bloodthorn Giant", experience +3000, gold coins +5000, you got the "Red Thorn Boots"! 】

……

[You killed the "Bloodthorn Giant Leader", experience +12000, gold coins +24000, you got the "Bloodthorn Gauntlet"! 】

After Yu Xiao's sword art evolved.

He can summon 24 flying swords at the same time.

The power and speed of each flying sword has been significantly improved.

Not only that, but Yu Xiao can also change his moves during the attack, directly attacking with ordinary flying swords to launch the Giant Spirit Excalibur Slash, or summon the Giant Spirit Excalibur Formation.

It can be said.

Although the secrets are still these secrets.

But whether it is attack power, destructive power, or actual combat effects, they have all been greatly improved.

These wild monsters are not very strong.

Yu Xiao can kill with ordinary flying sword attacks.

The attack range of the Flying Dragon Slashing Sword is very large. Even if it is not possible to gather all the swords into one, it can still cover a range of 2000 meters.

Therefore.

Cocker et al.

Sometimes you don't realize it.

These dangerous and ferocious bloodthorn giants fell down.

Although it was attacked by a large group of bloodthorn giants, the speed of this team was not affected in the slightest, and the corpses of giants were everywhere everywhere they passed.

"What exactly is this means?"

When I saw Yu Xiao taking a walk in the garden, manipulating dozens of flying swords to kill nearby monsters like chopping melons and vegetables, not only the city lord's troops were shocked, but even the three members of the co-governance committee were shocked.

Is this the strength of investigators?

How strong is the organization behind this guy!

Lancelot couldn't help but said: "Master Investigator is really powerful, but we have never heard of the method you used. I don't know where you are from, sir..."

Ha ha.

These guys.

You actually want to talk to me.

Yu Xiao said directly: "Before inquiring about other people's secrets, you need to show your sincerity."

Hear this.

The three looked at each other.

Lancelot thought for a while and then said: "To be honest, Mr. Investigator, we are actually from a small and large organization. Maybe our two forces can cooperate."

He said so.

Instead, Yu Xiao was taken aback.

Although the copy has made many adjustments to NPC,

But the basic identity and basic information will not change.

The three are representatives sent by the co-governance association to explore the cave world, and the co-governance association must also hope to find cooperative forces locally.

The strong personal strength shown by Yu Xiao.

Jean co-governance will be very interested in the organization behind him.

Yu Xiao thought for a few seconds before saying, "Now is not the time to talk about these things."

No outright rejection.

The three looked at each other.

I don't know what I'm thinking about.

Yu Xiao is also a little interested in the three of them and the co-governance association.

If you can take the opportunity of brushing the dungeon and get some top-secret information from the senior members of the co-governance association for free, that would be a good harvest.

Took over an hour.

The crowd advanced hundreds of miles.

During the process, Yu Xiao killed almost 64 bloodthorn giants, plus a dozen giant leaders. The experience gain alone reached 130, and the gold coins earned [-] million.

have to say.

Although these mobs don't have much experience alone.

However, the large number and the accumulation of sand into towers are still very impressive.

Yu Xiao even felt that.

Upgrading is not that difficult.

Because the monster resources in this dungeon are very rich.

He only needs to spend the remaining five days in this maze, go to various areas to fight monsters, and he can 21% upgrade to level [-] and enter the third level.

Of course.

Although theoretically possible.

But in practice it certainly cannot be done.

Because if the main task is not completed and the dungeon fails, Yu Xiao will not only lose all the experience points gained in the dungeon, but may even be degraded.

Kill this way.

In addition to the harvest of experience points and gold coins.

Yu Xiao also harvested more than a hundred pieces of equipment.

All are level 15 white quality.

Although it is completely useless to him, he can select a batch of them and trade them in the main world or the mysterious plane, which is enough to exchange for a lot of resources.

When everyone is about to pass through the Lost Forest.

It's time to enter the next area.

An unusually powerful aura erupted no more than 3000 meters ahead, instantly sweeping everyone present.

"This breath... is the Blood Tree Demon!"

Coker and others showed a nervous expression, "The Blood Tree Demon is the most powerful monster in the Lost Forest. All the bloodthorn giants we encountered were created by this thing."

Have you met wild monster boss?

I just got tired of killing mobs.

It's nice to have a change of taste right now.
