Chapter 353 "Midnight Labyrinth"
The largest mercenary organization in the underground world has landed in the hidden wonderland in the north of Tianfeng City! However, none of the many professionals who rushed to the entrance of the hidden wonderland noticed this sign.
They didn't know that when they were preparing to fight for the opportunity, a group of vicious wolves were already watching them.
The vicious underground professionals stood on the edge of the cliff, looking coldly at the professionals running towards the hidden wonderland, as if they were looking at a group of corpses with the ability to move.
Only the girl in the lead not only did not give people a vicious feeling, but also seemed innocent and naive, and seemed ignorant of the world.
"Is that it, uncle?"
The girl had a voice as sweet as a lark. She tilted her head and stared at the fierce man with her big eyes without any scheming. Surprisingly, she was not afraid of the Seven-Star Hunter who stood at the top of the underground world like others.
The "evil" deputy leader, who was ruthless and cruel in the eyes of others, and who could sacrifice everything to achieve his goals, even killing his subordinates at will, actually showed a hint of fondness in his eyes when facing this innocent and lovely girl.
"If the information from my eldest brother, your father, is correct, it should be there."
The ruthless man spoke in a rare gentle manner.
"Then let's hurry over now!" The girl said impatiently, "Qingqing is almost bored to death!"
"What?" The fierce man laughed and said, "Haven't you had enough of the toys here?"
The toys that the fierce man was referring to seemed to be the corpses of the phantom demons on the ground that had been torn into pieces and died in a miserable state.
After hearing the adjective used by their deputy leader, the underground professionals around them inevitably showed more fear, even terror in their eyes.
However, the girl said this in an innocent voice.
"They're not fun. Qingqing wants more fun toys."
As she spoke, the girl looked forward with shining eyes, as if she had really seen some exciting toy.
What such a girl is staring at is not anything else but the professionals who are running towards the hidden wonderland.
The fear in the eyes of the underground professionals around them became even stronger.
Only the fierce man nodded without changing his expression.
"Well, now that the entrance is open, it's time for us to act."
As he said this, a fierce light flashed in the eyes of the ruthless man.
"This time, we must not fail again."
With such a declaration, a terrifying aura flashed from the ruthless man.
That breath made all the underground professionals present feel a tightness in their chests, cold all over, and suffocating.
There are only two people who can remain calm under such momentum.
One is the man in black robe and black clothes who remains silent.
The other one is the overly young and naive girl.
"With Qingqing here this time, uncle will definitely not fail."
The girl said this confidently.
"certainly."
The fierce man nodded in agreement, and his eyes involuntarily turned to the girl's waist.
There, a long sharp blade hung.
The vicissitudes of life, antiquity, and strange aura faintly rising and falling from the sharp blade brought a sense of oppression that was even more terrifying than the ruthless man.
Holding this sharp blade, the innocent girl smiled brightly.
"Don't run away, toys!"
In those beautiful big eyes, inexplicable emotions were emerging.
That emotion is called madness.
About half an hour later, a corner of the encirclement formed by the troops sent from Tianfeng City and hidden outside the strange land was missing.
Here, there should be 10,000 soldiers equipped with alchemical bullets that can effectively kill the phantom demons, as well as an S-level team.
But suddenly, they lost contact.
It was not until a long time later that people were shocked to find their long-dead bodies in the missing corner of the encirclement.
Hidden Wonderland, first level.
This is the layer closest to the ground and also the largest in area in the entire hidden wonderland.
Countless phantom demons were wandering around here, some were in a commotion, while others were completely unaware of anything unusual.
A large number of professionals took advantage of this opportunity and dropped from the sky through the hole leading to the ground and landed on this floor.
Among them was the group of "Azure Mercury".
“Bang!”
With a loud thud and dust rising up, Su Ming, holding Tong Xinyao, fell heavily to the ground, crushing it to pieces.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
Chi Qian, Mu Yan, Feng Qing'er and their group also fell heavily to the ground one after another, leaving several holes on the ground.
“Ahem!”
Feng Qing'er was choked by the raised dust and started coughing and waving her hands vigorously.
Chi Qian and Mu Yan also waved their hands to clear away the raised dust and gathered around Su Ming.
"Okay, here we are."
Su Ming patted the pale face of Tong Xinyao, who didn't dare to open her eyes, in his arms, and laughed.
"ah!"
Tong Xinyao suddenly let out another scream, covered her back, and jumped off Su Ming's body.
Unfortunately, after experiencing such an exciting bungee jumping activity, the little girl’s legs were weak, and she immediately fell to the ground after this jump.
Chi Qian quickly hugged Tong Xinyao.
As for Su Ming, he had already raised his eyes and looked around.
What comes into view is a scene of an underground cave.
In the sky, except for the hole leading to the ground, the rest is a rock ceiling with stalactite-like spikes hanging from it.
On the ground, in addition to the stone forests formed by rocks that can be seen everywhere, there are also underground passages leading in all directions.
There is a small stream next to it, extending deep into the river.
"Is this the first level of the Midnight Labyrinth?"
Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.
Su Ming murmured.
————"Midnight Maze".
This is the name given by Tianfeng City officials to this hidden wonderland.
As the name suggests, this is an underground maze where there will never be daylight, only eternal polar night.
The name of this underground maze was marked on the map that Xu Xiayan passed to Su Ming, with an "X" mark next to it.
Usually, the location of this mark is used to mark the danger level of a wonderland.
For example, the poisonous insect cave will be marked with an "S", indicating that it is an S-level wonderland.
For example, a chaotic area would be marked with an "A" sign, indicating that it is an A-level wonderland.
Because the Midnight Maze is a hidden wonderland that almost no one has ever explored, its danger level has not yet been fully confirmed.
Therefore, where the danger level should be marked, there is only an "X" mark, which represents unknown.
"The devilish nature here is very strong."
A serious expression appeared on Mu Yan's cold face.
"really."
Chi Qian held the hand of Tong Xinyao, who was blushing and peeking at Su Ming, and nodded in agreement.
"The air isn't that bad, and the environment isn't too harsh, but why do I always feel uncomfortable staying here?"
Feng Qing'er also patted her chest and expressed her opinion regardless of the beautiful scenery.
Su Ming did have a guess.
"Perhaps it's because the demonic nature is too strong, that's why it's like this?" Su Ming pondered for a while, and said, "It's been too long since any creature other than the Phantom Demon has appeared here, causing the entire environment to be filled with the unique demonic nature of the Phantom Demon. For us humans, being in such an environment is like being in a closed space with no air circulation. It's normal to feel uncomfortable, feel chest tightness, and even feel dizzy and swollen. "
"Ah." Chi Qian closed his eyes and agreed, "We hunters are fine. Warlocks also have spiritual power and are not affected by the devil. But if ordinary people appear here, they will soon be affected by the devil that fills the entire environment. After a long time, mental disorders are very likely to happen."
"It seems that we are not the only ones who have noticed this." Feng Qing'er looked around and found that many professionals around were either closing their eyes or observing the environment with uncomfortable expressions. She said, "Well, there are people who don't care about these things."
Feng Qing'er was referring to those professional teams that were in a rush and had already started to act recklessly.
I don't know if it's because they are too anxious or they are afraid that the good stuff will be snatched away, but many professional teams, after arriving at the first level of the Polar Night Maze, don't even waste time to carefully observe the environment. They start to act without thinking, searching for the treasures in this maze.
You know what, a few teams actually found some good stuff.
"Isn't this a Euryale ferox?!"
"The main ingredient that can be used to refine the Moyun potion. Euryale ferox.!?"
“It just grows casually on the side of the road?”
"It's a lie, right?"
Someone exclaimed, causing a commotion among the professionals around.
Moyun Potion is a fine-grade alchemical potion. Taking it can permanently enhance the toughness and endurance of muscles, and improve the user's ability to withstand blows. Even a hit from an ordinary blade will not leave even the slightest wound. It was once auctioned on the third floor of Wanbao Auction House for 150,000 contribution points. It is quite precious.
Gorgon flower is the main ingredient used to refine Moyun potion. Its lowest selling price in Tianfeng City costs tens of thousands of contribution points.
Nowadays, such things just grow on the roadside and are discovered by people.
What does this equate to? It equates to someone picking up tens of thousands of contribution points for free on the roadside! And there are more than one person who is so lucky.
"Look! I dug out a piece of hard steel worth three thousand contribution points from the stone pillar over here!"
"Isn't the strange water grass growing in the stream here the blue silver water grass worth 7,000 contribution points that I saw in the store over on the commercial street last time!?"
"Oh my god! I saw a phantom demon equivalent to a two-star professional take away a centrifugal bead worth tens of thousands of contribution points!"
"Hurry up and catch up!"
Crazy.
Completely crazy.
At this moment, all the professionals present fell into a carnival-like madness.
Priceless natural treasures were discovered one after another, causing the team, which had not yet started the action, to become extremely nervous.
Su Ming and the others looked at each other in bewilderment, unable to speak for a long time.
