Chapter 614 Plants vs. Adventurers, but a hybrid version
"Let me tell you, I'm a famous adventurer in the Thane Dungeon! I've conquered countless elite monsters!"
"Wow, that's amazing~"
"That's right, I remember that I fought against Overlord Vonir before. He really was worthy of being called Overlord. But I'm not bad either, hahaha!"
In the daily life of an adventurer, there is a daily task that must be done - hanging out in the tavern.
As for what to do in the pub?
In a tavern in Kasuga City, a sturdy man with the aura of an adventurer raised his glass and boasted to the children in front of him.
That’s right, this sturdy man is an adventurer who is carrying out the daily task of “Boasting in the Tavern”!
The burly man looked unfamiliar. He was not a well-known adventurer or a member of a team. He was just an ordinary adventurer. The most valuable thing on his body was probably a King's Army Greatsword, and the war ash on it was one of the most common war ash, the Whirling Slash.
However, the mental look on his face was quite similar to that of someone who had just emerged from the dungeon of Sen, looking extremely battered.
He was very pleased with the children's gazes, and he raised his glass to drink the whole glass. But at this moment, a thin man with glasses who looked mean pushed his glasses and said in a raised tone:
"Since you are a famous adventurer in the Thane Dungeon, why did you come to Kasuga City to take on a commission?"
The sturdy man froze when he heard this, stuffed the several commissions related to Cangyin Underground City that were sticking out of his pocket into his pocket, glanced at the children, and said:
"Of course it's because I'm tired of playing over there! There's no need to tie a person to a tree."
"Oh? Is it possible to get bored playing in the Thane Dungeon?"
The man with glasses smiled slyly, "I heard that a huge area was released at once over there, and all the 'famous' people went there. Aren't you going to take a look, 'famous'?"
"you!"
As the atmosphere between the two men became increasingly tense, the other people drinking in the pub began shouting that they wanted to fight.
But in the end they didn't fight. The strong man backed down and walked out of the tavern, where he met several of his teammates outside.
"Let's go and do this boring commission." He waved his hand and his teammates followed.
"Alas, this Cangyin Dungeon is interesting, but it's too simple. There's not much challenge in it. It's far inferior to the Sean Dungeon. Can't the difficulty be increased a little?"
Standing at the entrance of the portal, he sighed.
If Heinis were to send a questionnaire to all adventurers right now, he would probably answer “very simple” without hesitation.
The teammates behind him had some subtle expressions.
Because everyone came to Kasuga City because they couldn't make it in the Senn dungeon. As for the reason? Because they couldn't defeat Overlord Vornir, and they couldn't explore the subsequent Irithyll, Anor Londo and other areas with frequent high-value commissions. However, they had some strength and were unwilling to lower their status to work as gatherers in the food area. In addition, their morale was really broken.
In short, due to various factors, they came to the Cangyin Dungeon to make a living. In fact, there are many adventurers like them.
However, they would not say that they left the Senn dungeon because they were defeated. They would generally say that they were bored of playing there and came out to try something new.
I don't know when it started, but "having been in the Sen dungeon" has become a symbol of increasing an adventurer's status. Generally, when you say this, you will be looked up to by people around you.
If two stranger adventurers shouted this sentence at the same time in a town tavern without a portal to the Thane dungeon, they would probably smile at each other and then show subtle expressions.
When their eyes met, they all found out that they were all people who had escaped from Sean.
"Today's task is to collect green tree spirit sap. We have to fill a bottle with it. It's too much trouble. Let's finish it quickly."
As he stepped into the portal, the view changed and the natural beauty unique to the Cangyin Dungeon appeared. The strong man had become tired of seeing this kind of scene recently.
"This scenery is just like playing at home, not at all as scary as the Catacombs of Casas."
He paused before he finished speaking and twitched his nose twice.
"What's wrong? What do you smell?" asked the dog-headed man in the team puzzledly. He didn't notice anything except the scent of flowers.
The sturdy man's face was solemn, and he said, "I smell danger."
"What?"
Everyone couldn't understand what he meant. How could there be danger in Cangyin Underground City? It was hilarious.
"Really, this is my intuition!" The strong man looked into the depths of the dungeon and said, "Something has definitely changed here. I swear by my experience in the Thane dungeon!"
"This dangerous feeling is like Sean has invaded here!"
"We didn't feel anything. Come on, let's go. We still don't have money for dinner tonight."
Even though the sturdy man kept persuading his teammates, they seemed to notice nothing and walked towards the depths where the green tree spirit was most likely to appear. The sturdy man looked conflicted, but finally chose to follow them. After all, people have to save face.
However, the deeper they went into the jungle, the more an ominous chill invaded the adventurers, and this time they finally felt something was wrong.
"It feels like something is really wrong?"
Someone just raised a question, but when they turned around, someone shouted: "Look ahead, it's marigolds!"
People's breathing suddenly became rapid. Looking carefully into the depths of the jungle, they saw the faint shadow of a marigold!
This magical plant can produce silver coins and gold coins. It is the rarest plant. If an adventurer can take it out, he will probably have no worries about food and drink.
“Grab it!”
People rushed forward, forgetting about the green tree spirit juice, and all pounced on the marigold, but the other party ran away as if it had legs, so the adventurers chased it towards another fork in the road.
"Hey, don't get so excited!" The strong man felt something was wrong. "Maybe it's a trap!"
"That's a design that only exists in the Sion dungeon. Don't worry about it here!" the teammates answered confidently.
"I still feel something is wrong." The sturdy man gritted his teeth and chased after him.
In the dense jungle, a chase is in full swing. The adventurers are staring at the marigolds greedily, imagining themselves becoming millionaires.
Just then, they saw several swaying figures in the shadows of the jungle.
"Is it a zombie? It's just a weak monster. I'll handle it myself. You guys hurry up and chase it."
An adventurer left the team and ran towards the zombies. The zombies here were so weak that even he could fight a group of them alone!
It was not until he got closer that he realized that these zombies had plants growing on their heads.
"It doesn't matter, I'm just a little stronger, I can still win!"
He even laughed. He liked this kind of plant that could move and parasitize on the zombies' heads the most because it was very fun to use.
He is the most loyal fan of Enoki mushroom!
The adventurer picked up his weapon and chopped at the nearest zombie. Only then did he see clearly what was on the zombie's head.
Is that a sunflower? No, why does it have two heads and they are connected like a cherry bomb?
This is not a sunflower, but a [Sunshine Bomb] formed by the fusion of a sunflower and a cherry bomb!
"BOOM!"
"What's that sound?"
The sturdy man looked back and it seemed that the sound came from near the teammate who had left the team. Is he okay?
"Marigold is running towards you, catch it!"
His teammates' shouts brought him back to his senses, and he saw Marigold jumping over his head and disappearing into the bushes again. He immediately went in and caught up.
The other adventurers were about to follow when they suddenly noticed many swaying shadows appearing around them.
"Tsk, why are there so many zombies today?"
They took a fighting stance, and suddenly saw the zombies seemed to be pushing something. It looked like a pea shooter, but it seemed much bigger.
It was not until they cast a flash spell over that they could see the whole picture of the thing.
It is indeed the Peashooter, but it only has the head, and its body is connected to the wheel.
"What the hell!" When the adventurer saw this thing, his hair stood on end.
This is not the Pea Shooter, it's the [Pea Cannon] which is the fusion of the Pea Shooter and the Corn Cannon!
The pea cannon sprayed out peas that were bigger than humans, and they exploded in front of everyone with a "bang"!
The violent shock wave sent everyone flying backwards. They endured the pain and looked up, only to see more plant zombies appearing in front of them.
"What are these?" they asked with full of questions.
What appeared before them were plants they had never seen before.
[Destruction Mushroom Pitcher], [Charming Big Spray Mushroom], [Charming Mushroom Pitcher], [Big Mouth Machine Gunner], [High Ice Fruit].
These strange things were approaching step by step, bringing an extremely strong sense of oppression to people. They realized that they had unknowingly run to the deepest part of Cangyin Underground City. Logically, this should be the border, so why was it widened again?
They even saw another marigold among this group of strange-looking plants, and its leaves actually had something like magnets growing on them.
But driven by fear, they forgot about greed and just wanted to run away. Fortunately, the zombies were not very fast, so they could run away.
[Magnetic Marigold] suddenly activated its magnetic force, sucking away weapons, shields and other miscellaneous items from every adventurer.
The adventurers stopped in their tracks and turned their heads around as if they had seen a ghost.
The things that were sucked away were the most valuable things on them.
"Asshole, why does Marigold have the ability of Magnetic Mushroom!?"
If you want to get the weapon back, you have to go to the magnetic marigold, and to get to him you have to go through those strange plants.
"I'll try my best!"
Some people yelled and rushed forward, while others gritted their teeth and turned around and ran, only to hear explosions and screams behind them. Those who fled did not dare to look back to confirm the situation, and kept telling themselves in their hearts that running away was the right thing to do.
But at this moment, a powerful suction force came from behind, and these adventurers who had not had time to run far found themselves being pulled backwards.
By the way, the armor on my body will also be attracted by magnetism.
“No!”
Seeing that he was about to fall into the group of monsters, he let out a sad and angry voice.
"Since you can absorb the armor, why didn't you do it from the beginning!"
On the other side, the strong man was chasing Marigold, but when he turned around, he found that his teammates were gone.
"Where are the people? I have a bad feeling."
This kind of scene where you walk for a while and find that all your teammates are gone is too common in Sion's dungeon. He is almost having PTSD.
Fear drove him to keep moving forward, not realizing that he had already gone deep into the jungle. At this moment, he saw the figure of Marigold not far away.
"It's very dangerous here. At worst, I'll just stay here and wait until the dungeon closes after I catch him!"
He made up his mind and rushed towards Marigold who was standing still.
When he was about to succeed, his feet slipped and he fell down with a scream. Finally, he hit the ground heavily. The ground here was actually hollow!
He looked towards the cave entrance, and before he could even think of climbing out, he saw that the entrance was blocked by a [Spike Potato Mine].
"ah?"
The sturdy man's eyes dulled for a moment. Does this mean he can't get out?
The desire to survive drove him to explore the surroundings. When the sturdy man turned his head, his eyes were even more dull.
Because what appeared before him was a one-way road, or a tunnel.
But the tunnel was filled with sharp and scary spikes.
The place is endless, as if there is no end, and the air is filled with an atmosphere of despair.
"I, I can use the rock technique. I should be able to make it through, right?"
As the sturdy man said this, a buzzing rotating saw blade suddenly emerged from the bush of thorns not far away. Gong Qiying usually called it a chainsaw.
Electric saws of all sizes are distributed regularly and at intervals in the thorny jungle. The up and down movements are quite scary. The rotating saw blades must be able to cut through the rocks easily.
Not only is there spikes growing on the ground of the tunnel, but the rock formation above is also wrapped in steel-like thorns. There are also strange-looking bugs poking their heads out of the thorns, which must not be good things.
These things combined create an eerie atmosphere that makes people absolutely dare not approach.
And this is just the first part. Who knows if there will be more outrageous things later.
“.”
Looking at this outrageous map, the strong man fell silent.
"Why do I feel like Sean?"
The fear hidden in his heart was awakened at this moment, and his hands began to tremble.
Just then, he saw a pile of several tall nut fragments in the corner, with pieces of paper scattered around.
[If you want to get treasure, you must first endure pain]
The fragments of the tall nuts are like long sticks. When they hit the spikes, they can actually bounce back. Maybe by constantly hitting the spikes with these fragments, you can move through the spike tunnel.
However, if you make the slightest mistake, you might fall directly into the spikes and be pierced into SpongeBob SquarePants.
The sturdy man held the fragments of the tall nut tightly in his hand and looked at the tunnel shining with cold light.
With determination in his eyes, he slowly spoke:
"I can't stand this. Is this something a human can get through?"
On this day, the adventurers of Kasuga Castle sensed something was wrong.
That day, the underground city was filled with cries of grief and crying.
