Chapter 514: Winding Selia Crystal Tunnel
It's numb.
Tepi was numb both psychologically and physically.
Sean Dungeon has just the right degree of control over people's hearts. The appearance of the rat monster just now was just right, which was enough to dispel his suspicion and successfully open the teleportation trap safety.
The Senn dungeon is insidious enough, so insidious that this bastard even mixed high-level paralysis powder into the mist produced by the teleportation trap!
Not to mention retreating to avoid the teleportation trap, the moment he came into contact with the powder, his body felt paralyzed as if he had embraced a poisonous jellyfish.
The world was spinning in his vision, and he watched helplessly as he was gradually swallowed by the smoke. His body was teleported to some unknown place filled with monsters and demons.
Based on his understanding of the Senn dungeon, whatever appears after the teleportation trap must be something bad.
And just before he was about to be teleported away, his eyes happened to glance at the entrance to the basement, where he had first rolled down.
The flying dragon Yakir had just put its mouth close to the narrow entrance, with raging flames brewing at its mouth, and it would burst out in the next second!
When the high temperature and flames swept into the basement, Tepi was teleported away.
If you think about it this way, the teleportation trap seemed to have saved his life.
But is the hatred range of your flying dragon Yakir legal?
I don’t know how long it took.
“Bang! Bang!”
The sound of iron hammering, no, it seemed like the sound of mining came into his ears, and Tepi opened his eyes.
As soon as he opened his eyes, a cold breath pierced his body like a sharp needle, making him shudder, and he immediately felt the hidden malice here.
"Small, hut?"
He was mesmerized by the scenery before him.
I was in a shabby wooden house that was probably less than ten square meters. It was called a wooden house, but it was more like a shed casually put together with logs. Not to mention the ridiculously large gaps between the wooden blocks, there was not even a door, which made people feel unsafe all of a sudden.
What is even more bizarre is that the wooden house seems to be located in a place similar to an underground mine.
The sound of picks hitting rocks kept coming from all directions. The frequency was not high, and you could hear that the miners were moving slowly. They were probably slacking off.
Just by looking out of the doorless entrance, one could see pale blue crystal clusters protruding from the rock wall. There were backpacks and pickaxes scattered on the ground, as well as some broken crystal clusters that had been knocked off.
Ordinary people would probably have to go out and seek help from possible miners at this time, but Tepi is not stupid. He knows that the miners in the Senn dungeon might be a little strange, or even monsters.
"Want to go out and explore?"
He muttered to himself. The light blue crystal clusters emitted a faint blue light. This was the only lighting here. The blue light almost made this place look like a ghost den filled with ghosts. Coupled with the silence all around, there was an indescribable weirdness.
It's almost as if "I'm super super dangerous" is written on his face.
No one would want to put themselves in danger, but Tepi had no choice. He couldn't just commit suicide in the cabin and then be resurrected next to the blessing, right? That was something a coward would do. Even if there were no bystanders around, he would look down on himself if he did that.
"My son wouldn't commit suicide, let alone his father."
He pounded his chest to encourage himself, then strode towards the door of the cabin.
However, when he reached the door of the cabin and had not yet stretched out his legs, he suddenly stopped, as if he suddenly remembered something, and his face gradually became solemn.
There was silence all around, which was just right for thinking. But now, this silence gave Tepi a suffocating feeling as if he was trapped in sticky mud that was gradually solidifying.
What he suddenly remembered was
When did the mining noise stop?
He turned suddenly and looked at the gap in the wall of the wooden house. The middle-aged man's body suddenly became stiff as a stone.
In the gaps of various sizes, pairs of eyes with faint phosphorescent light were staring at him silently.
"!!!"
Teppi's fur immediately stood up like a kitten seeing a data cable, and goose bumps could not be stopped. When did he attract the attention of the owners of these eyes, and how long had he been stared at? This thing is terrifying when you think about it!
Seeing that he had discovered them, the eyes stepped back a few steps and revealed their true faces.
These guys have human appearances, but their bodies are covered with stone-like minerals. They hold things like pickaxes in their hands, just like miners who have become one with the minerals because they have been mining for too long.
After seeing the whole picture, it was not scary anymore, but the horror brought by the previous glimpse was still lingering in Tepi's heart, leaving him with endless aftertaste.
At this moment, the miners also moved, and their pickaxes smashed the wooden house violently. They used all their strength to push down this unsafe safe house, and a feeling of zombie siege was overwhelmed.
Tepi reacted quickly, rushed out, and bumped into a crystal miner head-on. The luxuriously decorated knife in his hand cut the miner's neck, but the blade did not feel like cutting flesh, but rather like it was cutting stone.
His strength was not incapable of splitting mountains and rocks, but he was caught off guard and the recoil caused his knife to slip out of his hand. When he was about to pick it up, a large number of miners rushed over, so he made a quick decision and turned and ran.
After running out, he found that the mine was much larger than he had imagined.
Looking at the several tunnels of different sizes in front of him, Tepi had no idea where to run. Any road seemed to have the potential to lead to escape, or to put himself in danger.
"Whatever, just pick one!"
Seeing the miners getting closer, he made up his mind and ran towards the nearest tunnel.
Very good, very good. The crystal miners were no match for him at all. His body was very strong, so he could just ignore them and run out on his own. It seemed that this tunnel was not that difficult after all.
He smiled and winked.
When he opened his eyes again, Teppi was stunned. He was back in the cabin, and the sounds of mining were still ringing in his ears.
"What, what happened?"
He looked around anxiously, wondering why he came back. Wasn't he about to run into the tunnel?
No, I just died!
He tried hard to recall, and memories came flooding back like a tide. He saw himself running excitedly towards the nearest tunnel. Then he heard a sound of breaking air behind him, and then his body felt as if it was pierced by millions of needles. He fell to the ground and died on the spot.
An inexplicable sense of panic permeated the atmosphere.
The miners didn't look like they could shoot out sharp needles to attack, which meant that there were other monsters hidden in the mine that he hadn't discovered yet, and the damage and speed of their attacks were far greater than that of the miners, and also exceeded Teppi's own ability to withstand.
This mine is not simple.
"No, the most important thing is, why am I resurrected here?"
Looking at the dilapidated wooden house, Tepi fell into a daze.
After death, he should be resurrected through blessing, or directly teleported to the resurrection house outside through the teleportation crystal. Since he didn't bring the teleportation crystal, he can PASS the second one.
But no matter how you look at it, it shouldn't be possible to be resurrected in a wooden house!
There is only one explanation.
"There is a problem with the teleport trap"
He confined that thing in the mine!
There was a moment of silence. After discovering the cause of all these accidents, Tepi fell silent.
But he didn't have time to think, and he found that the miners were staring at him again.
By now the fool should have realized that it was the sound of his own mumbling that attracted these guys over!
"When I get out, I'm going to flatten this damn dungeon of yours!"
Tepi cursed angrily, quickened his pace, ran out of the wooden house, picked up the knife on the ground, turned around and ran towards the tunnel backwards, looking around. When he ran to the entrance of the tunnel, the familiar sound of sharp spikes breaking through the air was heard again. Following the source of the sound, he finally found the culprit.
It was a giant humanoid insect lying on the roof of the wooden house!
【Corruption Dependents】
He couldn't imagine that when he was in the wooden house, there was such a disgusting and terrifying humanoid insect standing on his head. He got goosebumps again.
The corrupt follower spread out his hands and a large number of spikes called silk flew out from behind him, which could automatically track.
Tepi seized the opportunity and dodged to the side, successfully avoiding half of the spikes!
The other half of his body was pierced like a hedgehog.
"Now that I know his true identity, I don't find it scary anymore."
Even though he felt pain in his body, Tepi still smiled, a smile similar to Leon's. He used his still-movable arms to drag himself toward the tunnel, keeping a close eye on the corrupt followers' every move, in order to calculate the intervals between the launch of the silkworms.
But at this moment, insect silk suddenly came from other places and pierced him through the heart.
Only then did he discover that there was another corrupt follower lying on the rock wall not far away.
No, there is more than one, there are also some in other places. In this broken mine, there are actually four corrupt followers who are eyeing him covetously!
"hehe."
I don’t know how much time passed.
“Swish, swish, swish——”
The silk threads shuttled through the mine like homing missiles, and Tepi dodged them nimbly, and was able to barely cope with two silk threads at the same time.
He jumped into a random tunnel with familiarity and ran forward.
There were scattered miners and bat monsters in the tunnel. When he ran to the end, he had a lot of injuries on his body and his knife was even bent.
However, when he walked out of the end of the tunnel and saw the familiar mine, his eyes suddenly lost their brilliance, and he muttered to himself like a broken puppet:
"It has changed again. The structure of the tunnel has changed again."
Returning to the wooden house again, the small shabby house was now filled with piles of ore.
Forging Stone, Gravity Stone, and Collapsed Pyroxene. These were all collected by Tepi after countless deaths. Even though many of them were lost along the way, the number left in the cabin was still considerable.
Leaving aside the value of the forging stone, things like gravity stone and fractured pyroxene have long been determined to be of very high value by magic craftsmen from the outside world. They can be used to power magic items and for a range of other purposes. The purchase price has always been high, but now that the mine is producing large quantities of them, I'm sure they will attract a large number of people to come here.
In addition, Tepi even found a magic book page.
【Blasting bedrock】
[A kind of pyroxene magic from the Magic Academy Rhea Lukalia, which pours magic power into the tail end of the staff, pierces it into the ground, and causes a large-scale magic shock wave in the surrounding area.
[You can move around freely during the spell, and stab the enemy with the end of the staff infused with magic. This is a high-level stone-digging magic used by the pyroxene miners in the crystal tunnel.]
This thing is really powerful and can easily crush the miners, but it consumes magic power at a terrifying rate, so he can hardly use it.
The teleportation trap really took him to a mine full of treasures.
But if I can’t get out, everything will be in vain!
He had worked hard to use his talent and experience of death to develop extraordinary physical skills that allowed him to dodge insect silk. He could even escape like a loach when surrounded by several miners. If he were to be sent back to the past, it would probably be difficult for Leon to catch him.
He really became stronger through the hardships.
But, but——
The mine has several tunnels leading to the outside world and several deep tunnels. The exits of these tunnels will change all the time!
The exit changes every time he dies!
Until now, Tepi has not found a way out and he is about to be trapped here to death.
"I was wrong. I will never again say something so willful as to flatten this underground city."
Tepi sat among a pile of ore, not caring at all that his mumbling would attract the attention of the miners. His palms unconsciously stroked the fan-shaped gravity stone, a bleak smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, and he said:
“Such a fun place should be experienced by more people.”
He clenched his fists and howled to the sky, his hair disheveled.
"I want to bring more people in!"
“Dongdong.”
The bell for the closing of the dungeon rang.
