Zongman: A Story That Begins From The Wrong Place

The night is quiet, and the dome crystal casts a faint white light.

Clenching the ice maiden tightly with his right hand, a trace of cold air overflowed from the whip body, and the five times of the "full concentration" power was condensed without sending out.

Even though there was a Lv.6 sword girl standing beside her, Qi Shaoyun still did not relax her vigilance, which is the most basic emergency attitude of an adventurer.

Then under the cover of sparse trees, the two quietly approached the place where the sound of rutting was heard before.

"Disappeared?"

Looking around, except for the forest where the two of them came over just now, the front is the boundary of the safe area, which is the hard underground rock mass.

"There are traces of deliberate processing here."

Ai Si seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly leaned over to check.

Following her gaze, Qi Shaoyun saw fragmented stones on the ground, but at first glance, he couldn't see anything unusual.

But as Ai Si stretched out her hand to throw away the top layer of gravel, a fairly fresh rut was covered by these broken "373" stones on the lower layer.

"It seems that the voice just now is not an auditory hallucination."

Stepping up to Aisi, Qi Shaoyun inserted the tip of the Ice Maiden into the rut, and then slowly slid along the direction of the rut. The hard Ice Maiden pushed aside the gravel, and soon a clear and complete rut was cleared. come out.

But in the end, the tip of the ice maiden hit the rock mass, and the ruts were completely gone, as if the carriage had driven into the mountain in one go.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Tap the rock mass with your fingers, and listen to the echo, it is not hollow.

However, Qi Shaoyun firmly believes that there are no ghosts in the dungeon, at least among all the known floors, he has never heard of them.

Then, with Qi Shaoyun's right hand blue veins popped out.

The "full concentration" with five times the power is instantly blessed on the heavy ice maiden, which is comparable to the full blow of an ordinary Lv.4 adventurer, smashing on the rock mass in front of her.

"Boom!" A loud noise spread far and wide in the silent night.

After Qi Shaoyun raised his hand to block the splashing gravel, and the smoke and dust in the air cleared, a huge crater with a diameter of nearly one meter appeared.

"This is......?"

Behind the rock mass broken by Juli, there is a smooth dark yellow tissue, which does not seem to be formed naturally in the dungeon at all.

"This is...... Orichalcum!"

After touching it with his hands, Qi Shaoyun immediately recognized this metal --- mountain copper.

This is a metal that is even more precious than mithril, and it has a higher anti-magic property than mithril, and is one of the most difficult metals to smelt.

"Ding! Ding!"

I tried to use the Ice Maiden to knock on it, and it made an extremely crisp sound, which means that the density of the mountain copper is quite high.

It is even higher than the density of some of the main materials used to build first-level weapons!

Suddenly.

Qi Shaoyun discovered that there was an extremely small gap in the center of the orichanite, combined with the ruts that suddenly disappeared strangely.

A certain conjecture emerged in his mind—this place is actually a hidden door.

The moment this idea came to mind, some memories in Qi Shaoyun's mind were quickly connected together, such as: the heretic you called "Ma Li" I met on the 27th floor today, the carriage that disappeared strangely tonight, and the secret hidden in the safe. Floor to floor doors.

The key information connected in series reminded him of a certain plot in "Ground Wrong".

The Ice Maiden tapped lightly on the metal wall, listening to the crisp and loud impact, the information about this door was gradually remembered by Qi Shaoyun.

The period when the gods just came to the lower realm, that is, the era thousands of years ago; in that prosperous age with many heroes, Olalie was at its peak.

One of them is not an adventurer, but is also famous for Olalie, and even a genius in the whole world.

He is the famous craftsman praised by the gods - Daedalus!

At the same time, he was also one of the earliest members of Uralos' family, and he made many outstanding contributions at the beginning of the construction of Orario, even the iconic building of Orario, the Beta Tower, was made by him!

It is conceivable how magnificent this person was back then.

However, such a character went crazy in his later years, and no one in Olalie knew what caused it at that time.

However, Qi Shaoyun, who is familiar with the plot, is very clear.

His madness was not without purpose, and behind this door made of orichanite was the real reason for his madness in his later years.

Artificial labyrinth - Knossos.

It's a pity that human beings can't get rid of the shackles of life after all. Even when he died, Daedalus only completed the tip of the iceberg of this astronomical project.

In order to build a labyrinth comparable to an underground city, Daedalus finally did not hesitate to use blood curses to force his descendants to continue to succeed his will.

Up to the present era, "The bloodline of Demilos has lasted for thousands of years.

The huge volume of the man-made maze also represents the wealth needed to build it, almost reaching unimaginable horror numbers.

In order to raise funds for this time, the Daedalus family has always had an unknown money-making channel—reselling monsters... 0

The supervision of the Tower of Babel is very strict. Except for the "Monster Festival" every year, the Ganesha family is qualified to escort monsters into Orari, and it is basically impossible for other family members to take monsters out of the dungeon.

But the Daedalus family is different, because their man-made maze is connected to the dungeon, and there are six entrances and exits in Orario.

Through these unknown secret passages, they can freely travel back and forth between Olalie and the dungeon, and use this convenient door to resell monsters to Olalie.

Not to mention, there really are monster buyers.

Especially the "talking" monsters that have appeared in the past ten years and have human physical characteristics.

Yes, that's right, heresy.

The higher the similarity with humans, the more beautiful the appearance, the higher the corresponding price, and some can even be dozens or even hundreds of times higher than Common monsters!

Relying on this violent transaction, the Daedalus family really built Knossos to the extent that it was equivalent to a house in an underground city during these thousand years.

However, there was one thing that puzzled Qi Shaoyun.

That is, the dungeon has the ability to repair itself.

How did Daedalus build man-made labyrinths in the dungeon? Why didn't the dungeon cover these man-made objects inside and out?

Could it be that the area where the man-made maze is located is no longer within the scope of the dungeon, so it has not been buried by self-repair.

Thinking of this, Qi Yun closed his mouth.

"Miss Ace, try to see if you can break through here."

Giving up his position, he signaled Aisi to break through the orichanite door.

Although Aisi didn't know about the man-made maze at 4.7, such obvious artificial traces made her feel a little unusual.

Nodding his head, he didn't say much.

Pulling out the "Sword of Despair" with her jade hand, Aisi lowered her center of gravity and made a long sword piercing motion, followed by the magic power of a faint wind wrapping around her body.

"Tempest!"

The chant ended, and the ground exploded.

Aisi's whole body turned into a cyan streamer, and together with the "Sword of Despair", it slammed into the mountain copper gate.

On the basis of Qi Shaoyun's attack, the violent hurricane expanded the gap in the rock mass several times again; just the strong wind blowing back made Qi Shaoyun almost lose his footing.

But even with this level of attack, the sword of despair was only inserted into the door by less than one centimeter.

It is almost impossible to destroy it in a short time.
