Chapter 190 The Failed Plagiarist
When the new strategy team landed in Kasuga City on a griffin, they naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Griffins are not easy to raise. Not only are they violent and often hurt people, but they also need someone to take care of their food and drink, otherwise they will get sick in a matter of minutes.
It's very strange. Griffins that can fly at high speeds should have a good physique and should not be sick often. So some people found that they only rely on "getting sick" to protest to their breeders and demand better food and living environment.
This is a behavior that only occurs in domesticated griffins. After all, there are no savages to raise wild griffins.
The Viscount of Kasuga City couldn't afford to keep a griffin, and most people in the city had never seen one. When Luluwo and his companions landed, some guards naturally ran over nervously, wanting to ask something, but they didn't dare to get close due to the beast's power.
It's no wonder that they probably wanted to ask Luluwo how to place the griffin, as it would be bad if it hurt anyone.
Those who can ride on a griffin are either rich or noble, so a humble guard has to be careful when dealing with them. He had just organized a speech in his mind that would not offend anyone, but before he could open his mouth, he saw Luluwo take out a red and white ball from her arms.
She stretched out her hand toward the griffin, and the huge beast turned into a stream of light and was absorbed into the ball.
"Wow!" The crowd exclaimed, what did they just see? It was space magic!
How did such a big griffin fit into a palm-sized ball?
"What that guy named Roger brought out is really interesting." Luluwo weighed the Poké Ball and put it into her waist bag. She swung her arm and raised her cloak in an exaggerated manner. She raised her head and said coolly: "Let's go, buy some supplies, and then go see how much there is in the Cang Yin Dungeon."
In order to increase speed, they did not bring too much luggage and planned to replenish supplies after arriving in Kasuga City.
"Captain, this is too conspicuous," Berto said quietly, "It would be better to land far away in the forest. Now we are attracting a lot of unnecessary attention."
Mira said indifferently: "It's not like you don't know her character."
The crowd naturally ignored the onlookers. They were used to being surrounded by people, and as they moved forward, the crowd automatically made way for them.
"Go and report to the Viscount. These people must be people with extraordinary identities." After discussing with him, the guards hurried away.
Kasuga City is an inconspicuous little town. The only thing that deserves people's attention here is probably the vegetables they produce. Each of them is huge in size and abundant in yield, and the taste is also better than ordinary ones - all of this is due to the specialties of Cangyin Underground City.
The vegetables produced here have a certain weight in the market. Many people buy them, whether they are out of curiosity or really want to eat them. Many people also want to see what potatoes and onions that are taller than humans look like.
Although Kasuga City couldn't make a fortune from farming, at least the local residents lived a stable life and could indulge in luxury occasionally.
But
"Why is this place different from what I heard?"
Mira looked at the empty street. This was obviously the largest main road after entering the city, so there should be a lot of people flowing here.
But this place is empty, and the few passers-by make it seem even more lonely, so lonely that it seems as if tumbleweeds will roll past here.
It's not completely deserted yet, but this scattered appearance gives people a feeling of gradual decline.
"I remember that many caravans had fixed bases here," Mira looked around, "but why are they all closed?"
A sense of depression is spreading here, but there are quite a few people dressed as adventurers wandering around here, seemingly attracted by the news of the unusual changes in the Cangyin dungeon.
"It's normal for Kasuga Castle to become like this."
Berto said: "This place relies on huge vegetables for survival, and the industry is basically centered around vegetables. Once it loses its unique advantages, it will soon fall into decline. Think about it, what has appeared in the surrounding areas recently that can replace it?"
"Oh, I see. It's the Sen Dungeon." Mira was no longer confused.
The huge vegetables produced in Kasuga City are characterized by their "huge" size, which satisfies people's curiosity very well. After living a dull life for too long, people always want to see something new and exciting.
These giant vegetables are not cheap, and their taste is better than the regular version, but it is limited and cannot be used as daily food.
Therefore, when the food area of Sen Dungeon, which served more exotic and delicious ingredients, was opened, Kasuga City declined rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. All the caravans originally stationed here fled to Bed City. Over time, even the local residents began to leave.
What’s the point of a potato that is bigger than a human? It’s not as good as a roasted whole pig from the Sen dungeon!
Moreover, the yield and output speed of food ingredients in the gourmet area are much faster than those of the huge vegetables that still need to be cultivated, and the price is even more affordable. Perhaps in the future every household will be able to eat food from the gourmet area.
With this, what else can Kasuga City use to compete?
Mira looked at the city with sympathy. This place was perfectly replaced by the Sen Dungeon. The local lord must be going crazy.
If Gong Qiying were here, he would probably spread his hands innocently.
When he first opened the food area, he never thought that it would lead to Kasuga City becoming such a miserable state. A method that seemed ordinary to him actually indirectly destroyed the economy of another city far away.
Maybe this is called dimensionality reduction attack?
Population loss naturally means that fewer people are entering the Cangyin Underground City. If this underground city had consciousness, it would be extremely anxious. No wonder the mutation occurred.
While buying supplies at the store, they saw several adventurers chatting, and they all looked quite disheveled.
"Why did the Cangyin Dungeon suddenly become so horrible? I walked for a long time but couldn't find the tree goblin. I don't think I can complete today's commission."
"Are you still considering a commission? It's time to run away. There are fewer and fewer people going in, and it has become even more dangerous after mutating."
"How about going to Thane next door? My brother is making a lot of money there picking ingredients."
“Is this true or false?”
"Really? He bought me this new knife as a gift. It's not cheap."
"Let's go, let's go to Sean and take a look!"
During the conversation, another "customer" of Cangyin Dungeon left, and the new strategy group who were watching fell silent.
"Boss, I want to ask you something. There have been some strange changes in the Cangyin dungeon recently. How dangerous is it?" Berto approached the conversation in a familiar manner.
"Oh," the boss sneered, "If the dungeon was replaced with a store, Cangyin would be dead soon."
As fewer and fewer people came to patronize the store, the boss finally found someone to talk to and started to complain a lot.
"I don't know what happened, but they added a bunch of shit in there, it's disgusting. Everyone liked the original scenery."
"People go in for the dryad juice, but now the dryads are almost impossible to catch, and there are a lot of poisonous big toads. Who wants that stuff?"
"The terrain has also become a mess. There is a door that can only be opened by cutting three large vines. Don't you think this is nonsense!"
Thanks to the store owner's complaint, the new strategy team collected a wave of intelligence.
"It's similar to the information provided by the Count." Luluwo said as she stood in front of the portal to the Cangyin Underground City, "It has become more dangerous, more disgusting, and more stingy."
There were only a few people in front of the portal, and anyone could enter without queuing. This made everyone who were used to queuing to enter the Senn dungeon uncomfortable.
"Let's go and see what this is."
After passing through the portal, when the feeling of weightlessness brought by the teleportation gradually disappeared, a foul odor penetrated everyone's nose.
This feeling is so familiar, it's just the Fran Fortress.
What appeared before everyone's eyes was an endless "swamp" filled with juice from rotten leaves. Although it looked similar, the visual impact was not as great as that of the real Fran Fortress with sewage flowing everywhere.
and
“It doesn’t stink.”
Luluwo took a deep breath, revealed a puzzled expression, took another breath, and this time she nodded and said seriously: "It's indeed not smelly."
"It stinks, though not as bad as Sean's." Berto also twitched his nose and complained, "Captain, you have been assimilated by Sean."
Luluwo did not comment. Looking around, she saw three hills rising abruptly from the swamp, each of which was covered with huge vines.
Further away is a valley, and the passage leading into the valley is entangled by thick vines.
"Just like the intelligence, only by cutting off three vines can we unlock the way into the valley. Inside the valley is Cangyin's original scene."
This is actually equivalent to adding an entry trial to the original Cangyin Dungeon. Only by passing this alternative "Wolf Blood Trial" can you experience the previous content.
“.”
A design full of flaws.
More than half of the people who entered the Cangyin Dungeon were workers. The tree elves were not very strong in combat, and ordinary people could handle them by forming a team.
Now that the difficulty has been increased and the number of tree elves has been reduced, you can only return to the original map by passing through a swamp made of rotten leaves. Isn't this discouraging?
Since the difficulty has been increased, shouldn’t the rewards also be increased? Unless the city lord here can’t offer a better reward.
Looking at the scene in front of her, Luluwo found the feeling of the first time she entered the Sen dungeon, which was quite nostalgic.
According to the normal process, they should have endured the stench and lurking monsters through the swamp, and after going through untold hardships to cut through the vines, they entered the valley.
But Luluwo wants to do something different now.
Chains extended from under her cape, wrapping around her companions and lifting them up one by one. The remaining four chains served as her feet, so that she could move forward without getting contaminated by the stinky water, like Doctor Octopus.
The monsters lurking under the swamp were all confused. The monsters here were all related to plants and were not very strong. They couldn't even hit the new strategy team hanging in the air.
The chains killed any monster that dared to show its head like a meat grinder. Luluwo didn't even need to get close to the vines. She could just let Essem use fire magic to burn them remotely.
It can be seen that the Cangyin Dungeon uses relatively sturdy vines, but unfortunately it is not enough to face silver-level adventurers.
In a few minutes, all three vines were destroyed, and the road to the valley was opened.
During this period, Luluwo encountered many traps that gave people a sense of déjà vu.
"Do you think those big toads are imitating the cursed frogs?"
Luluwo pointed to a place where several giant toads with flowers on their backs were guarding a spot of white light.
"Maybe," Berto said, "I wonder if these toads can spray the same black mist as the Curse Frog. Hey, hey, hey, Captain, what are you doing!"
"Why don't you go and try it yourself~" Luluwo sent him in front of the big toad with a wicked smile. Sure enough, these monsters opened their mouths and spit out light green mucus?
Berto let out a scream that was pure disgust.
As for the curse of death? How could these giant toads have that? The mucus they spit out is at most a little poisonous. Luluwo already knew this information.
She killed one casually and then opened the hunting manual, but there was no updated information about the giant toad.
"Will there only be introductions to the monsters in the Senn dungeon?" She felt a little bored, and killed the remaining big toad casually, and gave Berto a bath with water magic.
The latter stared at her with resentment.
After walking for a while, Luluwo suddenly fished out a squirming "person" from the swamp. Upon closer inspection, it was found that this thing was made of plants.
"Uh, is this a skeleton imitating Thane?"
Luluwo remembered that Sean's skeletons could be resurrected after being disassembled, so she also disassembled the vegetable man.
There is no resurrection, this monster is truly dead.
"boring."
After walking for a while, a huge ball made of plants fell from the sky and rolled towards them rapidly.
The shadow brought by the big iron ball instantly appeared in everyone's mind, and everyone who entered Sen had been welcomed by the iron ball.
But, Cangyin's ball is not an iron ball, but a plant ball, so.
"【Flames roaring】!"
Ai Si and Em used a combination of fire magic to attack, and the plant ball exploded instantly.
Complete the game without any damage.
"I feel like I'm exploring a low-profile version of the Sion dungeon," Mira couldn't help but say.
Luluwo yawned and said, "It's not even low-profile, just a poor imitation."
For the new strategy team with all members at Silver level, this dungeon is too simple, so simple that it is boring.
But for people living nearby, the changes in the Cangyin dungeon are indeed a big trouble. Even a low-profile version of the Sion-style trap can cause a large number of deaths among ordinary people.
There are some innovative features here, such as tree fruits that explode with blinding flashes, carnivorous plants disguised as harmless plants, etc. Luluwo suffered a loss when she first saw them.
How should I put it? It is innovative, but the types are too monotonous, all of them are plants.
Once adventurers are on guard and stay away from strange plants, most of these traps will be useless.
This is probably a problem that many dungeons will encounter. The limited monsters and building systems available will lead to this result.
In comparison, Sion, with his endless array of monster buildings, is an outlier, a huge outlier!
"I heard from the boss that a powerful monster will appear in the valley." Luluwo curled her lips and said, "Let's make preparations for now."
Considering what she just experienced, she didn't think there would be any powerful monsters here.
“Pah, pah.”
The sound of treading water came from not far away, and it sounded that the enemy's body was very heavy.
Everyone stared at the valley, and when the enemy finally walked out of the shadows and appeared in the sunlight, everyone was stunned.
Because of that thing.
It has a tall human-like body, wearing armor made of vines, which is painted bronze. It holds a large shield and a big sword. The most distinctive feature is its helmet, which looks like an axe.
This is a monster made of plants. Every part of it seems to have its own consciousness, and it walks crookedly.
This thing is definitely a fusion monster made by the local city lord using different monsters! And, and——
"Don't tell me this thing is an imitation of the Crucible Knight."
Everyone's expression was very strange, because the vegetative man in front of them had some of the charm of the Crucible Knight!
The charm is like that of an evil god figurine.
I was caught playing Angel Xiaoxiao at work by my boss. I have only finished typing now. I am guilty.
