Chapter 534 Entrance
Chapter 534 Entrance
thumb?
Luo Jun frowned slightly. During this period, he had encountered more than five black shops in the maze and often encountered duplicate finger merchants. However, from beginning to end, he had only seen the index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger, and never the thumb.
At first, Luo Jun thought that which finger he encountered was all a matter of luck, but now it seems that the thumb seems to have a special status that cannot be seen through normal means.
Luo Jun followed the ring finger into the portal. After the space twisted, the two came to a dark and empty space. In front of them was a huge circular altar with complex patterns carved on it. A circle of torches burned around it, illuminating the center. In the middle of the altar was a strangely shaped stone chair, on which sat a finger merchant. Because of his special body shape, his posture was very strange, with his thumb on top and a bearded old face on the pad of his finger.
Is this the thumb? It looks completely different from the other fingers. Although it doesn't move much, it exudes a sense of oppression.
"Why did you bring outsiders here?" The thumb looked at the ring finger and asked in a deep voice.
"He is not an ordinary outsider." Wu Mingzhi nodded slightly and said, "He has helped his teammates pass the infinite maze!"
Thumb frowned slightly, "I felt that someone cleared the level not long ago...but I didn't expect that someone who had the ability to clear the level would choose to stay."
"Not only does he stay, he also wants to change this maze." The ring finger said: "He is immune to the replacement of chaotic matter!"
"What?!" This time, Thumb also showed a surprised look: "The chaotic race that invaded the maze has a very strong innate erosion ability. You can even resist this. Could it be that you are a feathered one?"
"No..." Thumb denied this guess himself: "Only immortal spirit and saint body can resist replacement, but existences of these two levels will not be involved in Class A missions. How did you resist the erosion and replacement of the Chaos Race?"
"I have my own way." Luo Jun said with a smile: "You just need to tell me how to restore this maze to its original state."
The body of a saint and the spirit of an immortal?
Luo Jun secretly shook his head in his heart. How did he know these things in the first place? The confidence he had in trying to absorb the large monster with his own body came from the judgment of the dice.
I still remember that when he judged that the chicken wing was problematic, the severity coefficient given by the dice was six times. If he was really going to be replaced, then it should be twelve times. Even if there was a solution for the replacement, there was still a risk of death. It should be at least ten times. It was only six times, which meant that if he ate it, he would just vomit and have diarrhea for a few days...
The chaotic matter that would almost certainly kill other people would only cause physical discomfort to Luo Jun, which shows that his resistance to chaotic replacement is far greater than that of others.
After digesting the two monsters, Luo Jun could feel that his vitality did have an inhibitory effect on the chaotic monsters, but it was difficult to completely eliminate them. His body was also strong enough to resist the replacement of the monsters to a certain extent, but it could not completely eliminate the impact and would be in a stalemate balance.
If it was only vitality, Luo Jun would probably be like Alontan, with his mind stagnant and relying only on vitality to resist, and when the vitality was exhausted, he would continue with replacement.
If he only relied on his body, Luo Jun would probably linger in the pain of replacement, as if he had a serious chronic disease that could not be cured and would not worsen, and he would live in pain.
Luo Jun could feel that he had not reached the standards of either the body of a saint or the aura of an immortal, but he had barely touched the edge. The combination of the two gave Luo Jun the ability to completely kill the chaos monster!
This also gave Luo Jun some imagination.
Since the immortal energy is the vital energy of the Yuhua realm, then the concentration of my own vital energy should not be too different from that of the Yuhua realm. And according to what Master said, except for the rare races that have disappeared in the legend, the physical strength of other races is limited. In other words, the Yuhua realm now only has the energy of immortals, not the body of a saint!
So, if I can really go one step further, will I have the chance to obtain both the true immortal spirit and the body of a saint at the same time?
In that case, wouldn't he be called the strongest person above all others? Maybe he could even reach a higher realm?
Thinking of this, Luo Jun felt a surge of emotion, but soon, the fire of hope was extinguished again.
He has already reached the ninth level of the Consolidation of the Foundation and the Primordial Energy, both of which have reached the highest level. There is no possibility of further advancement, and the tendency to concentrate his mind has not appeared. It is very likely that he is stuck at this last threshold.
What made him even more desperate was that after breaking through the ninth level of Peiyuan Realm, his cultivation progress dropped sharply.
At first Luo Jun was quite excited, because the last time this happened was when he was raised from the seventh level of the Guben Realm to the eighth level, and his realm ceiling was raised!
Could it be that there is a tenth level in Peiyuan Realm that can be broken through?
But soon, this fire of hope was extinguished.
Because Luo Jun discovered that this time the progress of cultivation was not simply slow, but was constantly shrinking.
With every increase in progress, the speed of cultivation will become slower. According to this trend, his cultivation progress will eventually get stuck at a bottleneck and he will never be able to make any further progress.
His path of cultivation seemed to have really come to an end.
But without trying, Luo Jun still didn't give up... The flow of time in this endless maze was much slower than in the real world. As long as there was no pressure to survive, this would be a wonderful place to practice. Luo Jun could continuously improve his practice progress here without worrying about the passage of time.
This is another reason why he chose to stay!
"End it all?" Thumb laughed, "Without the diary's help, you can't even find a way out. How dare you say such big words?"
"You even know about the diary?" Luo Jun got all his diaries from the white shop and he probably never mentioned it to the black shop.
Thumb laughed and said, "Who do you think wrote the diary you are reading?"
Luo Jun frowned and looked at Thumb: "Are you Zhuge Qian?"
"Yes... and no." Thumb shook his head and said, "The Black Shop and Thumb already existed before Zhuge Qian entered this mission. Thumb is the hub that exists to maintain the function of the Black Shop, and it must be powerful enough. So, we will find a way to absorb the most powerful challengers who died in the maze and integrate them into Thumb."
"It can be said that the current thumb is a collection of many powerful people." Luo Jun heard it and analyzed: "What happened to the diary? Why is it missing? Who tore off the key part?"
Thumb smiled and said, "Of course it's me!"
"After Zhuge Qian died, he used his last bit of strength to leave this diary behind. But after merging into the thumb, I realized that the last part of the diary was actually wrong."
"Zhuge Qian and his four companions fell completely into the trap of Chaos Creatures in the later stages. Aliang among them was replaced by Chaos Matter and attacked by the Black Shop, which led to their complete distrust of the Black Shop. They believed until their death that eating food made of Chaos Matter and completing the challenge on the second floor of the rest area was the correct way to pass the level. They even regretted eating the food from the Black Shop... If this diary was seen by later generations, it would probably mislead the challengers and turn them into more powerful Chaos Creatures. That's why I tore up the last part."
"But I soon discovered that without this diary, future challengers would still be easily misled by the rules and deceived by chaotic creatures. This diary is our only means of passing information to future generations. So I picked up the torn diaries again, but due to the rules, I couldn't restore them to their original diaries. I could only select some from these diaries, delete those that are very misleading, and put the rest into the maze, allowing you to find them on your own and piece together valid information."
"I don't think the ones I found are less misleading." Luo Jun shrugged. "For example, the last page seriously warned not to eat food from black shops. I believed it for a long time."
"But you did find the key to pass the level through this page, didn't you?" Thumb smiled and said, "I struggled for a long time as to which page to leave, this one or the second to last page. In the end, I decided to leave the last page."
"The second to last page records in detail the content of the challenge on the second floor of the rest area, but Zhuge Qian at the time had a completely distorted understanding of the truth behind the challenge. The long paragraphs of subjective assumptions will only mislead you more. It would be better to just give you a vague statement of not eating the food from the black shop, giving you room to think. As long as you are smart enough and think more about why you can't eat it, there is still hope of breaking through."
"Then why don't you just tell us?" Luo Jun asked, "Wouldn't it be faster to just tell the challenger the truth about the maze?"
Thumb shook his head. "Although we have formed our own power, we are still bound by the rules. As a store, even if it is information, it must be exchanged at an equal value. Even if we want to reveal it ourselves, we cannot do so."
Luo Jun recalled the previous exchange of gold ingots for information. Also, this time, the woman also accepted two gold ingots soaked in saliva before bringing him to this hidden space.
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
"Of course, if you have guessed the key part yourself, we can still make some simple supplements." The ring finger on the side said, "And in essence, our positions are different from those of the challengers. They want to get out, and our goal is to prevent chaotic creatures from invading the main world. If necessary, we may prefer to trap all challengers to death in the maze."
"I understand your difficulties." Luo Jun nodded: "Now back to my question, how to end this? I think, on this matter, our positions are finally the same, right?"
"Is it over..." Thumb sighed, "Never mind, we have tried countless times anyway, one more time with you is not much, one less time with you is not much either... Do you still have gold ingots?"
"Do we have to exchange money for information here?" Luo Jun asked curiously.
"This is a space we have opened up ourselves, but it is still subject to the rules of the maze." Thumb said, "The information I gave you before is a discount, but you have to pay for what I am going to tell you next."
"The gold ingots are gone..." Luo Jun shrugged his shoulders and suddenly took out a card from his equipment bag: "But do you recycle props here? Even if I give you a discount, it would be enough, right?"
"Void Pass?" Thumb's eyes widened a little. This is a top-level item that requires ten gold ingots to exchange.
"Okay, I can make an exception this time." Thumb nodded, raised his hand, and the pass in Luo Jun's hand slowly floated up and automatically flew to Thumb.
"Everyone who enters this maze has been looking for an exit, but few people have thought about this question..." Thumb looked at Luo Jun and said slowly: "Where is the entrance to this maze?"
"The entrance?" Luo Jun was stunned. "Isn't that the origin?"
As he spoke, he took out the origin pointer, but found that this prop seemed to be malfunctioning here. The pointer was spinning randomly and the value representing the distance was also jumping around.
"The origin is just the place where you were teleported in." Thumb shook his head: "That location is random, not a fixed entrance. Just like the exit is connected to the main world, the entrance to the maze should also have a door that connects to a certain place in the outside world."
"The outside world..." Luo Jun rolled his eyes. Apart from the challengers who were completing the mission, who else could enter this maze from the outside?
"You mean, the passage through which those chaotic creatures enter this maze?" Luo Jun widened his eyes.
Thumb nodded, "Yes, although we haven't grasped the exact location yet, but all signs show that there is indeed an entrance that continuously lets in chaotic creatures. We even speculate that it may be constantly changing its location like the exit."
"So, as long as I can find the entrance and destroy it..." Luo Jun's eyes lit up: "Can I cut off the source of the chaotic creatures?"
"You have seen the exit, and you should have experienced how difficult it is to destroy that door." Thumb said, "The entrance is likely to be of the same level, and may not be able to be destroyed... But at least, if we can really find the entrance, it should be of great help in destroying these chaotic creatures."
"Do you have any idea?" Luo Jun asked.
Thumb shook his head. "We have been trying to find it for many years, but we only have some vague clues. We are still a long way from finding it. After all, the existence of the entrance is not within the rules of the maze. It should be considered a bug. In the maze, there are almost no props or hints for the entrance. There is no way to find it at all."
"I haven't found it in so many years..." Luo Jun sighed slightly. Thinking of the scale of this maze, he felt a little overwhelmed.
Thumb sighed: "We are dead people after all. It seems that we have integrated into this maze, become part of the rules, and gained certain authority. But from another perspective, we are also firmly restricted by the rules of the maze. There are many things we can't do, and we can't intervene... But you are different!"
As he spoke, Thumb looked at Luo Jun: "You are free in the maze, and the power you possess is enough to break the long-standing balance. Perhaps, with your help, we really have the possibility of ending all this!"
"However, to find a place that shouldn't exist in this endless maze, this will probably be a long-lasting project!"
"That doesn't matter!" Luo Jun looked at his thumb: "As long as there is hope, I have plenty of time!"
