Chapter 171 The dungeon battle begins!
Why is the portal to the Thane Dungeon closed?!
The ancient city on the ground was surrounded by adventurers, and besides them there were many ordinary people. They all got up early in the morning just to stay inside for a while longer so as to collect more materials and make money.
As a result, the dungeon was closed. Everyone was left confused and blown by the cold wind in the early morning. They felt angry and frustrated but had no place to vent their anger.
Some pessimistic people immediately began shouting that this was a sign that the Senn dungeon was about to go out of control again.
But this rumor that could cause panic was suppressed before it could spread, and a young man with brilliant blond hair stood on the platform.
It was Leon, who used his amplification magic to say:
"Don't worry, this is normal. There are always days like that in the dungeon."
This matter is indeed nothing strange to people with a wide range of knowledge. Every year, the portals of several dungeons will be closed, which may be as short as one or two days or as long as several months. After reopening, they can still accept adventurers normally.
While Leon was comforting the adventurer, he frowned and thought about something else.
There have been cases in history where a dungeon was closed for months, only to have its content greatly changed after reopening, as if it were a completely different dungeon. There have also been cases where a dungeon was closed for several years before being reopened.
These situations have not occurred in the past hundred years, resulting in people being unfamiliar with them.
However, what if a similar situation occurs in the Thane dungeon?
It's not that he was worrying too much, but there were too many special events in this underground city.
The first underground city to undergo a strange change in a hundred years, and the only underground city to go out of control in recent years.
A dungeon that records the history of unknown ages and a dungeon that reproduces legendary heroes.
All the halos around him have cast a veil of mystery over Sean.
People all want to uncover its mystery, but the more they explore, the more they discover, which makes people wonder whether the knowledge contained in it is endless.
If the content of the Sion dungeon is changed after it is reopened, should we be happy or...
Leon had a lot of things in his mind, but the most urgent task was to evacuate the crowd. More and more people were gathering here, and it would be bad if a stampede occurred.
First persuade the crowd to return to Bed City, and as for when they can come back, we will leave it to fate.
All the adventurers and ordinary people gathered here were a little discouraged. They depended on Sean for food. Who could bear it if they were locked up for more than ten days?
Leon didn't react on the surface, but his eyes were flickering as he looked at the portal. He was also praying that Sean would reopen it soon.
because--
"I feel uncomfortable if I don't go in for a day," he said to himself.
However, he forgot that he was still using the amplification magic.
Being stared at with strange looks by everyone at once, Leon couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
He thought of many things, but there was only one thing he didn't think of.
The Senn Dungeon will be reopened soon.
Inside Bede City.
The news of the closure of the Sen Dungeon quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys.
When the people in the bar who had just woken up from their hangovers heard the news, they immediately ordered a lot of beer and started gossiping enthusiastically.
Sitting in the innermost seat, Stellan wiped the corners of her mouth that were stained with food crumbs and walked out of the tavern.
"Oh, I was planning to go to the dungeon to relax," she sighed, "but I didn't expect it to be closed."
She wandered aimlessly on the street. The city of Bed City did not seem quiet at three o'clock in the morning. After all, this was the time when the dungeon was open, and many people were rushing to get in.
All cities built with the support of the dungeon will eventually be assimilated into the dungeon's "work and rest schedule", and this place is no exception.
As she walked, she stopped in front of a shop and read the words on the sign softly.
"Mareda Magic Tool Shop"
It was a very familiar name, but Stellan showed no emotion.
She had known about this store for a long time, but had never been in to take a look.
The first time she heard about this store was from Leon, and she fantasized about meeting the good brother who helped him.
However, I heard that the store manager here is a young man with black hair and black eyes. He looks gentle, kind and amiable, and does not seem to have any bad intentions.
Moreover, he is very thin and doesn't look like a battle-hardened warrior at all.
This was not the Mareda she was thinking of, it was probably just a coincidence of names.
When will she meet that person again?
The door to the prop shop was open, and she peeked inside, but saw no one.
That's strange. I remember hearing from others that the store manager was in here almost all day.
Stellan said to herself:
"Maybe there's something urgent going on."
——————————
In the dungeon of Sen, Gong Qiying did encounter some "urgent matters".
Because today is the day when the war with the Erchao Dungeon begins.
He has been waiting for this day for a long time.
The stored mental power was stirring, and he had the urge to attack with an entire army of Fran's Undead Squad to give the dungeon lord of this world a little shock.
In the end, the thriftiness ingrained in my nature suppressed this idea.
[The Dungeons of Doom are moving closer and are about to merge]
Once a battle occurs between dungeons, an independent space will be formed.
In this space, with the challenged dungeon as the center, the challenger can pull a small part of his own dungeon over and connect and integrate it with it.
This small part is the challenger's base.
The base being captured, the monsters being killed, the mental power being exhausted, the city lord being killed, etc. are all considered as defeats. The same principle can also be applied to the challenged.
Both sides used all their imagination to deploy monsters on the battlefield just to win the battle.
Compared to Ganago, the lord of the Eredun dungeon who only has a small base, Gong Qiying can mobilize part of the area connected to the Sen dungeon.
When an enemy dungeon merges with yours, certain rules will divide the area available to you according to the size of the enemy dungeon's base, which is usually two or three times the enemy's area.
In this way, the bases of both sides were divided.
Since it was unknown where the enemy's base would collide, he did not make any major changes to the structure of the dungeon except for taking a lot of protective measures for the city lord's room.
Because his tactics are very simple, and can be summed up in three words - block the door.
The soldiers in the Erase Dungeon are bugs that grow over time and through fighting. To deal with such creatures, you must not give them time to develop from the beginning, but just block their door and start killing them.
The tactic of blocking the door also requires some consideration.
You can't let low-level monsters go up, otherwise they will still be able to evolve after being swallowed by the bugs. You have to choose C-level or even B-level monsters, and it's best if they have large-scale damage skills, so that it's not easy to let any bug escape.
However, considering the chimera's characteristic of eating everything, Gong Qiying came up with a more insidious and lower-cost tactic.
The core of this tactic is the adventurer, or the "like-minded".
He clicked on the [Concentrics] module, but scrolled directly to the end. Those at the back were all weaklings with extremely low bond values and poor strength.
What does Gong Qiying want these people for?
At this moment, he saw a piece of purple land floating in the dark void. No, it was land covered by purple fungal carpet.
This is the base of the Eredi dungeon, and Ganago is inside!
Observing through a telescope, it was covered with densely packed insects, like a surging ocean.
And the place it was drifting towards was the Fran Fortress!
【Fusion of the Doomsday Dungeon Completed】
Even though he was in the city lord's room, Gong Qiying could still feel the vibration caused by the impact.
From his perspective, the Fran Fortress was bordering the base of the Doomsday Dungeon, but the dirty swamp and the purple fungal blanket were blocked by an invisible barrier and did not invade each other.
The bugs roared and tried to rush in, but were blocked by the barrier, which meant that it was not yet time to start a fight.
Gong Qiying felt that his position had changed, and when he came to his senses, he had been forcibly transferred to the Fran Fortress.
The Faran Undead Squad was standing in front of him, in a stiff posture like robots without power.
"I see. I will be forced to move to the 'base' defined by the rules."
He smiled. It seemed that the previous reinforcement work on the city lord's room was in vain.
[You have received a call request from Ganago, the lord of the Evil Nest Dungeon]
Gong Qiying raised his eyebrows, wondering what the giant worm on the other side was trying to do. Was it trying to persuade the other team to surrender? Or was it the classic pre-war trash talk?
Out of curiosity, he answered the call.
The crystal ball showed a giant praying mantis, whose hideous figure was the perfect candidate for children’s nightmares.
This guy uses words that are so vulgar that they cannot even be written.
He can even swear!
“Pah.”
Gong Qiying took a picture of the crystal ball and decisively turned off the image.
"As expected of a dungeon that grew up with the demons, the curses are really filthy."
He actually thought that the other party must have some brilliant ideas, and speculated that perhaps Ganago would offer him surrender conditions that he could not refuse to tempt him, but it turned out that he was just talking trash like in a wrestling match before the fight.
This kind of performance is really too trivial.
[You have received a call request from Ganago, the lord of the Evil Nest Dungeon]
"reject."
【You received it.】
"reject."
Ghana kept sending harassing messages and wouldn't give up no matter how I rejected him.
If he grew up on Earth, he would probably be an expert in cyberbullying.
In the underground city of Erchao, Ganago poked at the city lord's panel in frustration. Every time his call request was rejected, he felt as powerless as if he was punching cotton.
"coward!"
Ganago was angry, and his huge body kept shaking. It was too rude of a dungeon lord living in human territory!
Before fighting each other, they always use passion to drive their emotions and curse each other. This is the rule, and all the demons do this.
"Vulgar, disrespectful, human being."
Just as Ganago was about to use Ah Q's method of spiritual victory to make amends for himself, suddenly -
[You have received a call request from Godwin, the Lord of the Sean Dungeon]
"Think it through?"
Gana showed an expression that said "this kid finally got it right", cleared his throat, gathered his emotions, and clicked on the application.
He wants to become the king of talking!
[Trash, trash, helpless and furious trash]
However, the screen was completely blocked by a piece of cardboard with sarcastic lines written on it that he could also understand.
Ganago was stunned.
Ganago is angry!
"You—"
【Call closed】
"I'm going to kill you!"
"whee."
Gong Qiying smiled with satisfaction. It was a pity that Ganago was not in his dungeon, otherwise he should have been able to receive the other party's mental power.
He must be extremely angry now.
Words like "trash" don't have much offensive power, but what is really offensive is Gong Qiying's behavior of hanging up the call before Ganago spoke.
This behavior is generally called one-hit-and-leave on the Internet.
Obviously, this weak trick on the Internet is still a bit ahead of its time to deal with the simple-minded natives of the other world. Gong Qiying noticed that the insects on the opposite side became manic.
These insects are all in basic form. They have no advantages except for their large numbers. Their combat effectiveness is not high and they are just average. They must rely on devouring other creatures to evolve.
Why did Ganago create so many basic-form chimeras? Could it be that he was planning to evolve them by devouring Sion's monsters?
How could he possibly succeed?
Compared to the preparations in the Erchao dungeon, Gong Qiying's place is quiet.
Not even a single monster could be seen.
Is he planning some big move? But it doesn't seem like it.
This calmness made Ganago feel unpredictable.
"Victory must be mine."
He muttered to himself, guessing that the other party must have learned the characteristics of the chimera worm, so they didn't dare to send monsters to fight.
He looked at the fortress deep in the swamp, thinking that Gong Qiying must want to use the building to launch a defensive battle against him.
"madness."
The corner of Ganago's mouth curved into a frightening arc.
"You thought I had no way to evolve? You're totally wrong."
[The battle is about to begin]
A prompt from the dungeon appeared in front of the two city lords.
Gong Qiying sat on the altar, supporting his face with one hand, with a look of enjoying a good show.
Ganago was sharpening his knife and laughing strangely.
The situation in the Fran Fortress was calm and peaceful, not even a cursed frog could be seen.
The fungal blanket was in a state of turmoil, with insects surging like waves.
【The battle begins! 】
At the moment of opening, countless streams of light suddenly fell on the territory of the Erchao Dungeon and transformed into demons, or "like-minded people" belonging to the Erchao Dungeon.
"Hmm?" Gong Qiying pulled the crystal ball towards himself, feeling a little curious.
He thought that the Congenial Ones were the final trick for the dungeon, but he didn't expect the other party to release them so quickly.
Could it be that he guessed wrong?
Suddenly, screams of like-minded people were heard from the fungal blanket. The swarm of insects was going crazy.
It's actually devouring those who share the same mind! ?
