"Lucian, you guys go collect the materials first. I have something to do and need to leave."
After dealing with the three-headed serpent, Hulim suddenly said this.
"Okay, do you want us to wait for you?"
"It won't be long. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Hulim walked deeper into the dungeon master's room.
Lucien glanced at the direction Hulim left, and did not intend to explore the other party's intentions. Instead, he quietly took out tools to collect precious materials from the three-headed serpent.
"Where is she going?"
Russell asked curiously.
"Why do you care about this?" Irene complained. "Just now you were so scared that you looked like you were going to avoid Hulim from now on. It's only been a few seconds, and you're forgetting about the food again?"
"Who cares? I'm just asking casually."
"If you two are free, come and help me collect materials."
"Okay, I'll be right there!"
"Here I come, this is the kind of thing I have to do. This team really can't do without me..."
Just as Lucien and others were collecting materials, Hulim arrived at the deepest part of the maze.
"Let me think about how to open the core room..."
Hulim opened the hidden room in the way she remembered.
Then walked in.
After walking through a passage, a small enclosed room appeared in front of us.
The entire room is filled with extremely complex magic circles, and there is a special crystal-like sphere in the center of the room.
That is the most important thing in this maze - the maze core.
After observing it carefully, Hulim frowned.
"...Sure enough, something's not right. The maze's operating power is several times higher than normal."
This situation is equivalent to the maze being overloaded.
The result is that the speed of purifying the miasma particles in the demon world is greatly increased, but at the same time, the speed of magic accumulation in the maze is also greatly increased, which will rapidly increase the strength of the monsters in the entire maze.
This is also the reason why there are abnormal numbers of high-level monsters appearing along the way, and even the last layer is completely covered by black fog. This is because the efficiency of the maze work is abnormal.
Although it sounds like a good thing that the purification efficiency has been greatly improved, it cannot be a good thing if it is related to overload.
Because the maze core cannot withstand such a long period of overload operation. Problems will arise soon and it will eventually collapse.
The consequence of the collapse of the maze core is that the entire maze collapses.
The key is that the maze will collapse, but the monsters inside will not disappear with it. At that time, all the monsters inside will run out and form a tide of monsters.
“Why did this happen…?”
Looking at the labyrinth core in front of him, Hulim fell into deep thought.
Abnormalities in the labyrinth core are actually not uncommon. There are many reasons for this, including aging, external interference, severe damage to the labyrinth, etc.
Honestly speaking, given the current situation, it is almost impossible to investigate why this maze malfunctioned.
"Forget it, let's just let it return to normal first."
Hulim gave up looking for the cause and started repairing the core of the labyrinth.
Apart from anything else, there are really only a few people in the world who can repair the labyrinth core. After all, it is a creation of God, and coincidentally, Hulim is one of them.
A few minutes later.
Click!
The overloaded labyrinth core stopped functioning.
About three seconds passed.
Buzz!
The labyrinth core made a slight sound and began to work again. No one except Hulim knew that the labyrinth had just lost its function for three seconds.
After checking several times and confirming that the labyrinth core was operating normally, Hulim nodded in relief and turned to leave the core room...
"Well, you're back so soon?"
Arthur looked at Hulim who had reappeared in the hall and said doubtfully, then smiled.
"I've only been gone for less than ten minutes, and we haven't even finished collecting all the materials yet~."
"Do you want my help?"
"No, Hulim, you don't have to do anything. Just stand there and watch!"
Irene quickly stopped him.
"If you take away even this little bit of work, we'll be worthless!"
"... ...Oh well."
Hulim could only helplessly walk aside and watch them busy collecting materials.
The three-headed giant snake had a very large body. Even if Hulim had rolled it into a ball, it would still take more than a few minutes to collect all the precious materials.
About a few dozen minutes passed.
"Okay, done!"
As the last material was put into the backpack, everyone in the Silver Team showed excitement.
"This time we really had a great harvest~!"
"Haha, I can't wait to go back and have a good drink!"
Hulim looked at the bags of materials on the ground and asked,
"Isn't it too much? Don't we need to collect more on the way back?"
"No need."
Lucian shook his head.
"The most precious item in this maze is the three-headed serpent. No... to be more precise, the four-headed serpent."
"Although it's still in the middle of its evolution, it has already crossed the threshold of A-rank. That last head is a genuine A-rank monster body."
"The materials from an A-rank monster—the same scale is worth several times more than a B-rank monster! It's safe to say that the harvest from this one head alone exceeds the combined value of all the other gains from this maze."
