Love Warriors Cong Liangji

That's the floor master we accidentally discovered, the Lone King of the Labyrinth in the hidden room on the fifteenth floor. "

The female warrior with the name Li Jie said: "At the beginning, it was only lv4, but it quickly grew to a level above lv5, breaking our formation."

"you......"

Jiang Liu thought for a while and said, "Are you from the Ishtar family?"

The fox-eared girl was wearing an oriental kimono, and the Ishtar family carried the same style of oriental sedan chairs when they entered the dungeon before, so Jiang Liu asked this question.

"Yes," the female warrior nodded, "My name is Aisha, and this child is Chun Ji... I don't know how many of my companions will survive."

Jiang Liu glanced at the fox-eared girl named Chun Ji, and nodded.

Chunji has been leaning against Aisha all the time, not daring to look up at Jiang Liu, she didn't say any words of thanks to Jiang Liu who saved her, and she didn't know whether it was because she was afraid of life or something else.

However, because of Zao girl, he didn't have a bad feeling for the existence of Fox girl, on the contrary, he had a good impression of it, but it was not affected by Chun Ji's attitude.

"Fifteen floors, so that's how it is." Jiang Liu realized something in his heart.

I wondered before that the equipment and logistics of the Ishtar family didn't look like an expedition, so why did they enter the dungeon on such a large scale? It seems that they had already known the news that there was a floor master on the fifteenth floor, and then gathered manpower Go crusade.

Because the distance is not long, only to reach the fifteenth floor, there is basically no need to consider any logistics, as long as the combat power is summoned.

However, even with such a huge team prepared, it still suffered a disastrous defeat...

"Fifteenth floor? Is there something that attracts you there?" It wasn't greed, but pure curiosity.

Jiang Liu still remembered that the adventurers he met at the entrance once said that the Ishtar family was not very enthusiastic about exploring the dungeon, and they had never seen them enter on a large scale during the day.

It is impossible to come to clean up the floor owner because of a sudden sense of justice, there must be some conspiracy.

"It's the mission of the goddess."

Aisha said without hesitation: "Master Ishtar asked us to retrieve the golden fruit that grew on the fifteenth floor."

Anyway, if Jiang Liu really wanted to ask, she couldn't keep a secret from her standpoint, and when she couldn't even fight with force, this kind of behavior couldn't even be called a betrayal of the main god.

"Golden... fruit? Oh, for that."

Jiang Liu narrowed his eyes slightly, showing a hint of interest.

"A treasure that can be guarded by the floor master—that must be very valuable."

However, at this time, he still doesn't understand that the so-called "golden fruit" is not just as simple as being valuable.

It is a treasure that is worthless to humans, but has the highest allure to gods, even if it is priceless, it is not an exaggeration.

After all, it was the bait of the "underground city", a trap specially used to capture gods and their families.

Chapter 173: Absolute Temptation

The golden apple that appeared in Greek mythology is a treasure that is absolutely alluring to any creature.

There are many myths related to the golden apple, and there are three most famous ones.

At first, a golden apple tree was given to Zeus and Hera as a wedding gift by Gaia, the mother of the earth. The golden apple orchard was placed near the end of the world, with guards that even the gods could not bypass. Si entrusted the giant Atlas to take one.

And this is one of the twelve trials of Hercules.

Another time, it was Atalanta, the number one huntress in Greece, who proposed to race with others to decide her marriage, and all the failed challengers would pay the price with their lives.

A young man makes a wish to the god of love to marry Atalanta, and is endowed with a golden apple that can attract attention. Despicable (and Tameow actually has a CP in the myth, and also participated in the Calydonian hunt, but was later cheated to death by his own mother).

It appears for the third time, and it should be the most famous one: the battle of the three goddesses.

A golden apple written "for the most beautiful goddess" triggered a competition among Hera, Athena, and Venus. The world of mortals triggered the famous "Trojan War".

No matter which time it appears, the golden apple has a very strong sense of existence, showing that it "has the value of attracting all humans and gods."

However, that is the golden apple in Greek mythology. In the world view of "Dungeon", which is very different from the original mythology, the golden apple is not a gift from Gaia, and it is not attractive to mortals (except for money fans).

But one thing is the same: no god can resist its temptation, and even caused wars because of it.

It was twenty years ago, when the golden apple first appeared in the dungeon, but the gods at that time didn't know the purpose of the golden apple, so they just regarded it as a spoil of war for defeating the floor master.

Since the guardian monster is so powerful, then this item must be very precious—this is a natural and extremely correct judgment.

At that time, some of the family members who participated in the crusade were more or less distributed. Afterwards, in the process of exploring its function, it was found that the golden apple was useless to human beings—it wasn't even pure gold, it just had a golden skin.

In addition to the gorgeous appearance, it seems that this is really just an ordinary apple, not to mention things like increasing the ability value, even the effects of restoring physical strength, healing injuries, and detoxification can not be achieved by ordinary medicines. .

However, this is only for humans...

Some bored god chose to eat this waste straight up to taste, only to stumble across its true use, and it's been out of control ever since.

All the main gods of Orario were crazy about it, and they all wanted to take the remaining golden apples as their own, plundering them one after another, plotting to extract them again and again, and even launched a family war for it.

In just one month, eight family members were completely destroyed and driven out of Orario.

The final winners were Hera and the Zeus Familia, and Ishtar was among the Families who were defeated by them at that time. This war even directly caused the top combat power of the Ishtar Familia to be broken, which is only slightly better than being completely destroyed. Just a few.

And the real purpose of the golden apple is—

"I do not know either."

Aisha said bluntly: "Lord Ishtar is just for us to bring things back."

The two survivors of the Ishtar family took Jiang Liu and Bell back to the 15th floor. They didn't see too many Amazon female warrior corpses along the way, which made Aisha relax a little.

Perhaps, the Chimera made the other teams escape in time in order to hunt them down... It is also possible that the Chimera or other monsters have already eaten them, so there are no corpses.

But in any case, it's better than the corpses of my companions constantly appearing in front of my eyes...

Aisha also has her own considerations. On her own, it is difficult to complete the task of collecting golden apples in the current state. If that is the case, she will definitely be punished by Goddess Ishtar. Instead of this, it is better to entrust it to Jiang Liu, although You can only get a small portion, but you can also make a mission to the goddess.

After finding the entrance to the rock wall that had been restored to its original shape, Jiang Liu used his strength to break through it through the air. This fighting technique made Ayesha look sideways, but Bell didn't respond—he just thought it was a kind of magic.

"Don't you need to chant your magic?" The Amazon female warrior was very surprised.

Magic is something closer to "talent" than skills. Originally, apart from the elves, other races rarely learned magic, but the grace of the gods made it possible for them to touch this power.

But in the world view of "Dungeon", magic is not something that can be learned. Not only is it limited in quantity, but it also depends on incantations and instincts to activate it. Basically, no one can understand its principles, and naturally no one can shorten the length of incantations. .

Perhaps those centuries-old elves have the ability to reduce a few bytes, but humans and dwarves certainly cannot... Therefore, non-chanting magic is very precious.

"Mr. Hercules is really powerful, even magic!"

Bell asked even more curiously: "Is the one with stripes on the body before magic also?"

"That's not magic, it's technology." Jiang Liu shook his head, no matter how shocked the two were, he stepped into the hidden floor on his own.

The fifteenth floor was already a very large floor, but this hidden secret place is quite small. It is estimated that it is only the size of two or three football fields, and more than two-thirds of it is occupied by a clear lake.

There are fluorescent substances on the surrounding rock walls and lake water, so it is not dim, allowing people to see everything inside.

There is an isolated island in the center of the lake, about ten meters square, appearing there abruptly, as if it has become independent from the outside world.

And there is a green apple tree growing on the isolated island. The rough bark and gnarled branches fully show its vigorous vitality, and in the lush crown of the tree, dots of golden light can be seen faintly...

"Before, we were only close to the lake, and before we touched the apple tree, the monster rushed out of the lake." Aisha sighed with lingering fear, "Now that I think about it, we should investigate clearly before we act."

"That's impossible. Even if it wasn't a sudden attack, that monster could still wipe you out."

Jiang Liu, who had fought the Chimera himself, knew very well that it was definitely not an ordinary monster, not even the floor master, but something specially cultivated by the dungeon, and ordinary adventurers would never even think about winning.

"That's the apple tree guarded by the Chimera, huh."

Jiang showed a smile, turned a blind eye to the wide lake, and walked straight over.

Aisha, the fox girl Chun Ji, and Bell were all taken aback. Just as they were about to speak to stop him, they saw that he stepped on the water, but he did not sink, but was as solid as if he had stepped on the ground.

Step by step...without the consciousness of walking on the water at all, under the stunned gaze of the three of them, he walked across the water calmly and arrived at the small island in the middle of the lake.

——[Sakura Stream·Tiandong]

It can "fix" the atmosphere under its feet or around it in a short period of time by releasing its armed colors, so as to change its trajectory.

This move was originally used to make up for his lack of air mobility (after all, he has no wings), but even the atmosphere can be fixed, and it will only be simpler and easier to use on a lake that is also fluid and can be touched.

He is not so much walking on the water as he has turned the water into a floor, but of course temporarily.

When he walked under the apple tree, Jiang Liu realized that the age of this tree was probably quite terrifying, and there was a sense of vicissitudes that could almost be condensed into reality. It's not easy" these words are written on the trunk.

"But it's just a tree anyway."

Smiling, without any scruples, Jiang Liu directly reached out to hold a golden fruit from the hidden branch, and then gently picked it off.

Even Jiang Liu has to admit that this kind of thing is very beautiful. Although it is called a "golden fruit", under close observation, instead of having the texture of gold, it has a crystal-like transparency.

The whole tree only had seven or eight fruits. Just as Jiang Liu was about to pick them all off, the island in the middle of the lake under his feet shook suddenly, and the big tree stretched out its branches like a waking giant...

Chapter 174: The Old Dryad

"This, this is..."

"The tree actually moved?"

"No way...is this lv5?"

The three people on the shore each had different performances, but unexpectedly they were not too anxious, probably after witnessing the previous World War I, their confidence in Jiangliu had really reached a blind stage, even though the one that appeared now was lv5 Even the monsters above still don't feel that Jiang Liu is in danger.

Jiang Liu, who is standing on the island, is facing the embarrassing situation that the land will crack and he will soon have no place to stand on.

But for him, there was more than one way to float in the air, so he didn't have to worry about falling into the water, but he calmly observed the monster in front of him.

Stout - this is Jiang Liu's first impression.

Strictly speaking, it doesn't have the unusual size of a chimera. The apple tree itself is only three or four meters high, and even the monster incarnate is only five meters tall.

However, in contrast, his figure is extremely thick, not thick in the ordinary sense, but with a shoulder width that is almost the same as his height. Standing there, he looks like a square hill, bringing no sense of oppression No less than a Chimera.

The crown of the tree gradually separated, and the fruits hidden in the leaves were all hidden in the monster's body. The branches stretched out, entangled with each other and turned into arms, tearing apart the island in the middle of the lake one by one, flapping like tentacles of monsters water surface.

Cracks are cracked on the vicissitudes of the bark, and then the most abstract facial features are formed, and a "human face" emerges in this way.

Treant...or Dryad.

In the depths of the dungeon, there were similar monsters, such as some kind of treant covered in moss, but they were just ordinary monsters, and their physical strength was not outstanding among monsters of the same level.

But the monster in front of me... is strong.

Even from Jiang Liu's point of view, it has to be said to be very strong, even stronger than the previous Chimera.

Is it the heaviness brought by the world?
