Don't call me evil god

In the extremely dark environment of the crypt, if Peter hadn't observed carefully enough, it would have been easy to miss the gray mist floating in the air.

The location of the gray fog is very tricky.

The overall structure of this underground cave with 50 monsters is approximately circular, and there are not many terrain undulations. After entering from the passage connecting the underground cave, the internal situation can be almost seen at a glance.

The gray mist floated just beside the connection between the passage and the cave, almost in the blind spot of the field of vision.

This is also the reason why Reina didn't notice it after entering.

Peter hesitated for a moment and just sent the news of the discovery of the gray fog to his companions through the [Instant Messenger] without trying to get close to touch or conduct further research.

"Write it down first. If the situation is unclear, don't act rashly."

The main goal of their trip was exploration, and it was an exploration centered on recording terrain map information.

What needs to be clarified more is what is in the crypt and how it is distributed.

For example, there were 50 level 1 monsters in this cave. Peter carefully observed their situation.

The distortions of these sleeping monsters are very uniform.

"Arachnid aberration."

Miranda frowned and murmured softly.

As a member of the Crusaders, she is familiar with the distortions caused by various evil gods' contamination.

Spider aberration is a very dangerous contamination.

Whether it was originally a human, an animal, or something else, after being contaminated, abnormally sharp arthropod-like structures that look like spider legs will grow from the body, and the way of movement will also change to a state of crawling on the ground.

After becoming a spider, there will be an additional cyst-like "abdominal bag" on the original body. The abdominal bag will spread out a slender fleshy tube covered with villi, connected to the "spider legs", and the sharp feet at the end of the limbs. It has the ability to eject silky mucus that can quickly solidify.

After beings that originally had vocal organs were contaminated, the organs would become distorted and shrill screams would occur, which would have frightening negative effects.

The defining characteristic of spider aberrations is the size of the monster.

The rating strength of a monster after being polluted by spider transformation can be directly linked to its size.

Level 0 is about the size of the palms of both hands spread out, and is usually the result of an insect's size increasing after being contaminated;

The size of level 1 is about the size of two to three human brains;

Stage 2 reaches the size of large mammals;

As you move up level 3, your body shape will become more and more exaggerated;

It is said that the most powerful level 6 spider demon can reach the size of a mound.

This is also the basis for Peter and the others to judge that all the monsters in the cave belong to level 1.

If I had to say it, the strength of the land reclamation team of Pett and his team could barely kill 50 spider demons at some cost.

Both level 3 mages now master group attack magic.

Miranda is there to provide treatment and purification support at any time, and there are Brandon and Rena who can resist monsters in close combat.

There will definitely be no problem in destroying some level 1 monsters. At most, you will suffer some injuries.

The problem is that Pet and the others still don’t know the specific situation in the crypt!

What if they started taking action here, chanting magic spells and making combat attacks that attracted the attention of other monsters?

Once they were surrounded, they couldn't see enough.

When Ya'an described it to them, he said that the number of monsters that were chasing him at that time sounded like hundreds at least!

The large number of monsters that later appeared in the misty valley almost corroborated Ya'an's statement.

…

The group of people carefully followed the passage back to the large cave where the dwarf dagger was found. In a clockwise direction, they entered several connecting passages of different specifications to investigate the situation.

The information finally gathered made Pet's face look unpleasant.

Monster! Lots of monsters!

The terrain structure in the dark crypt is indeed extremely complex and huge.

The area they discovered alone covers an area of ​​thousands of square meters.

With the large cave as the center, it is radially connected to the surrounding small and medium-sized caves of different sizes.

The first passage they entered, the 50 spider demons inside, was considered a relatively large cave, and its main feature was its large number.

In other caves, several level 2 monsters were found;

A mixture of Level 1 and Level 2 animals has been found, with the number appearing to be in the dozens;

The most dangerous cave has a small internal space, only about 100 square meters, but there are two level 3 monsters sleeping inside!

What these caves and monsters have in common is:

All the monsters are in a slumbering state, and as long as Peter and the others don't make too much noise, they won't be disturbed;

Each of the small and medium-sized caves connected by the passage has an extremely thin gray mist floating next to the entrance.

If the number of all the monsters nearby is added up, it will almost reach the situation of a large number of monsters described by Ya'an.

Moreover, based on Ya'an's experience, Peter can probably guess one thing:

"Monsters will be awakened, and in this quiet environment, as long as there is a big movement, a chain reaction will occur, and they may even alert each other."

Because they have returned to the large cave in the center, this is a relatively safe area without monsters for the time being, so Pett and the others can save some destiny points and just lower their voices and communicate.

Gale frowned fiercely: "In other words, it is possible to fight against hundreds of monsters at once? And there are many level 2 monsters inside, and even several level 3 monsters."

"I'm afraid that's the case." Peter looked solemn.

It's not a big problem to let them destroy the sleeping monsters in a cave alone.

But what if all the monsters nearby are alarmed at the same time?

Then they'd better think about how to run away quickly, just like Yaan did at that time.

Reina made a suggestion: "What if we set up a blocking line outside the crypt, send people in to lure the monsters out, and then everyone works together to destroy the monsters?"

Brandon's eyes lit up: "This suggestion seems good! The entrance to the crypt is not big, they can't rush out all at once! Just block the exit!"

"Mr. Pete, what do you think? Is it feasible?" Reina asked softly when she saw Pete was still thinking.

Pete pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head slowly.

"... No, it shouldn't be like this."

"What?" Reina was stunned.

She asked whether the proposed method was feasible, but Pete's answer was a bit irrelevant.

"What I mean is," Pete explained, "your method is indeed feasible, but there is one thing that doesn't make sense."

"Don't forget, the mission given by the Lord is for us to explore the dark cave."

"In fact, when I saw the monsters in here, I was thinking about a question."

"Yan said that the monsters in the cave went berserk after they took the white ball away, and chased him all the way to the Misty Valley."

"Then where did the sleeping monsters here come from?"

"When the monsters chased, there was so much noise, how could only some monsters be alarmed, while the others remained asleep?"

...
