Chapter 3040 Benson

"My name is Benson, and I'm a... zombie."

Under the leadership of Dox, Angel and others walked in the cave for about half a minute, and finally saw a man sitting against the wall, panting.

He wore a white mask, and his exposed skin was wrapped in white gauze.

This man was the wizard apprentice who had integrated the blood of the earth fire salamander that Dox mentioned.

He called himself Benson and was a member of the Bilos family.

"Zombie?" Kael looked at Benson in confusion. Is this a nickname? A very strange nickname... Stiff corpse? Frozen corpse?

Benson nodded: "Yes, zombie."

As he spoke, Benson took off the white mask on his face, revealing his true face.

He looked very ordinary. At first glance, he looked like an ordinary person, but if you look closely, you will find that his skin has a dull stone feeling, and he does not have the oily luster of normal skin, just like the hardened skin of a dead person.

Kael didn't know what was going on with Benson's skin, but he secretly guessed that maybe it was some kind of monster skin transplanted, or maybe it was a unique talent that Benson had after integrating into the blood of the fire salamander?

Just as Kael was thinking about it, Dox suddenly said, "This should be a disease, right?"

Benson looked at Dox in surprise. Unexpectedly, Dox saw his condition at a glance. But on second thought, he thought it was normal. He saw Dox's appearance in the family collection of pictures and knew that Dox was a blood wizard active in the Principality of Laxum.

The most important thing is that Dox is a wandering wizard.

Although wandering wizards have no organization or family as their background, they often have the most contact with the bottom people and know the real situation of the bottom people the most. On the contrary, the wizards from the organization are more metaphysical.

Benson did not deny it, and nodded and said, "Yes, I am a scleroderma patient."

Scleroderma is a rare disease, even among the bottom people, it is rare. Its pathogenesis is still unclear. Its most obvious external manifestation is that the skin loses its flexibility and elasticity, and becomes hardened and thick.

From the perspective of the extraordinary, the hardening of the skin caused by scleroderma is more like a benign symptom, which can enhance the resistance to blows. But for ordinary people, scleroderma is an almost incurable terminal illness. As the skin gradually hardens, the blood vessel cavity will become narrower. Because of the oppression, the organs will also be damaged. As time goes by, it will eventually lead to organ failure and death from lesions.

Benson is unfortunate. When he suffered from scleroderma, he was just an ordinary person. Through various methods, he survived for five years, but that was it. His life was frustrated everywhere and he could not see any hope at all.

Benson was lucky. When he was about to face the pain of death, he met a wizard. The wizard who called himself Elder Yue told Benson that he had the blood of his relatives. In a sense, Benson was a child of the Bilos family who was stranded outside.

Generally, these scattered children are basically descendants of mortals, and the chance of becoming a gifted person is not high. Therefore, the Bilos family is too lazy to look for these descendants.

It is a kind of luck for Benson to meet Elder Yue. And his mental power value has reached 11 points, and he has the foundation to become a gifted person, which is also a manifestation of luck.

After being brought back to the Bilos family, Benson began to practice tirelessly.

After becoming a wizard apprentice, the strength of his internal organs was improved, allowing him to finally get rid of the adverse effects of scleroderma.

Moreover, the tough hard skin was retained, which also became his foundation, giving him stronger defense and resistance.

Under the guidance of Elder Yue, Benson merged the blood of the earth fire salamander and further strengthened the strength of his skin. It can be said that from the perspective of resistance alone, Benson can be compared with the blood side apprentices of the same level.

But the price is... that his skin is harder than that of an ordinary person, causing him to freeze. Except when he speaks and moves his eyes, he looks like a puppet or a dead person.

For this reason, Benson put on a mask and wrapped himself in white gauze to avoid other people's strange eyes. In this way, although he doesn't look like a zombie, he looks like another species similar to zombies... a mummy.

"Scleroderma? It's really rare." Dox muttered in a low voice, and then looked at Benson carefully: "Hey, you merged the blood of the earth fire salamander to cooperate with the hard skin, right? This is a very genius idea."

Benson's scleroderma is not cured. Although the reckless use of hard skin to get beaten has strengthened resistance, it has also made the skin harder and harder.

Although there is no harm at the moment, in the long run, if the hardness of the skin exceeds the upper limit of Benson's internal organs, the consequences of scleroderma will come in waves.

Benson's choice to integrate the blood of the fire salamander is a two-pronged strategy that can not only strengthen the scleroderma, but also solve the problems caused by the scleroderma.

The fire salamander strengthens the scleroderma. At the same time, the fire salamander has specially developed the tolerance of the internal organs, which is comparable to the blood of some high-level monsters.

Strengthening the blood of the fire salamander is equivalent to strengthening the scleroderma and internal organs together. It can be said that this is the best solution Benson has made for scleroderma.

If it were Dox, he would probably choose to let Benson integrate the blood of the fire salamander.

Benson said somewhat embarrassedly: "This is actually the advice given to me by Elder Yue."

Dox, who had been focusing on Benson, was stunned when he heard the name "Elder Yue": "Elder Yue? Is it Elder Yue of the three elders of the Bilos family, Tree, Sun, and Moon?"

Benson nodded: "Yes, my ancestor was Elder Yue's younger brother, so Elder Yue took good care of me. I was able to come to the paradise to practice, and it was also thanks to Elder Yue's light."

Benson's words gave a lot of information, which was also intentional.

Although he knew Dox, he also knew that Dox had no connection with the Bilos family in the past. But who can be sure that there is no hatred recently?

For the sake of his own life, Benson can only reveal his relationship with Elder Yue, and then indirectly point out that Elder Yue is nearby to boost his courage.

Dox also heard Benson's hidden meaning, but he didn't care. He even secretly remembered this method of "diverting contradictions and pretending to be powerful" in his heart, so that he can use it in the future.

If he really encounters someone he can't beat, he can also say in the future that he has a good relationship with Angel, and he is even more so with Sanders. The three ancestors of the Savage Cave are his backers... This method is very good. If it is in the South Region, it should work.

Anyway, he has to follow Angel for a short time. He can't say anything to him first.

Putting aside his fantasies, Dox looked back at Benson: "You mean, Elder Yue is in the paradise? The person who said he wanted to play games before actually dared to do it here?"

Benson: "Are you talking about... the masked man?"

Dox: "Masked man? Who is the masked man?"

Benson looked puzzled: "You don't know the masked man? Then why is the lord in the 'mud doll maze'?"

"I came in from outside." Dox didn't hide it and said directly.

Benson's eyes lit up: "Outside? Has the space seal outside the paradise been broken?"

Dokes shook his head: "It was not broken, I used other means to get in."

Dokes did not say why he came, but said: "Do you mind telling me about your experience tonight? Masked man, clay doll maze, what are these?"

Benson's eyes flashed with disappointment when he learned that the space seal of the paradise was not broken. But in the face of Dokes's question, he still did not hesitate and nodded.

These are not secrets. There are many people in the paradise. Even if he is not there, Dokes can find other people to ask. Therefore, Benson did not intend to hide it and told his experience during this period in detail.

Just half an hour ago, Benson followed Elder Yue and meditated silently on the top of the mountain in the moonlight.

But at this moment, a masked man in a cloak suddenly smiled strangely and flashed over the paradise.

Every area in the paradise is protected, especially the area with people. Outsiders will not choose to step in after seeing it.

And this masked man not only came in, but also laughed loudly, showing his presence, which seemed very strange.

Elder Yue found something wrong and chased after him.

Benson didn't know what happened afterwards, because he stayed on the top of the mountain and didn't chase after him.

But not long after Elder Yue chased the masked man away, he heard a strange laugh that spread throughout the paradise-

"Let's play a game~ If you win, I will let you go~"

Benson was very sure that this strange laugh came from the masked man before.

Before he could figure out why the masked man was so noisy, the entire paradise was shrouded by a huge space seal.

Then, a series of space membranes separated the paradise into several different territories.

When Benson and other extraordinary people around him found something wrong, they could no longer leave here.

They could only look around to see if they could find some gaps.

Then, someone found a huge stone with a human face on the top of the mountain.

This stone had existed before, but without a human face. Now, the appearance of the human face pattern seemed very unusual.

The human face on the stone told them that this was a game in the name of escape and in reality of survival. As long as they could pass two games, they could leave the paradise.

Then, the names of various games flashed in the eyes of the human face pattern, requiring everyone to enter the game.

At that time, Benson did not intend to enter this so-called game.

After all, Benson knew himself well and knew that his strength was not enough to get involved in such a weird incident.

There were many people who had the same idea as Benson, but in the end... they were forced to participate in the game.

Because someone agreed to participate in the game, and the human face pattern told them that insufficient number of people would cause the death rate of those participating in the game to rise sharply. The more people there were, the higher the survival rate would be.

And the person who participated in the game was a formal wizard.

He directly ordered that everyone on the top of the mountain must participate in the game.

Benson just half-heartedly entered the game.

However, everyone who participated in the game on the top of the mountain seemed to be thrown into different games. Benson came to this game called "Clay Doll Maze", and the number of people who participated in the game with him was... zero.

Maybe there were other game participants in the Clay Doll Maze, but at least there was no one else at the starting point where Benson was.

There was also a human face pattern at the starting point of the maze where Benson was, but it grew on the wall.

This human face pattern seemed to exist to explain the rules of the game. It told Benson that the Clay Doll Maze was a maze transformed inside the mountain. The way to pass the level was to find the exit of the maze.

In the process of finding the exit, Benson needed to pay attention to two things: First, there would be special clay doll monsters in the Clay Doll Maze. These clay doll monsters would attack the player, but the strength of the clay dolls would not exceed that of a third-level apprentice.

It sounds like the clay doll monsters are not strong, and in fact... they are indeed not strong. But there are so many of them. As long as you walk near the swamp, groups of clay doll monsters will appear.

For this reason, every time Benson saw a swamp in the passage, he would subconsciously stay away.

But as he kept bypassing the swamp, Benson found... he seemed to be spinning in place and couldn't find a way out at all.

So, it is very likely that the real exit must follow the swamp.

Second, there are many walking poisonous mushroom monsters in the Clay Doll Maze. These mushrooms will spray poisonous fog spores, causing a large number of places in the maze to be covered by poisonous fog, and you need to pay attention to protection.

Benson didn't care much about this. His hard skin combined with the blood of the fire salamander prevented large particles of poisonous fog from invading his body.

In general, the human face pattern told Benson that there was only the danger of monsters in the clay doll maze.

But in fact, in addition to the dangers brought by monsters, there are many other dangers in the maze.

For example, wall damage.

Benson tried to damage the wall, which might help him find the exit faster. But after several experiments, Benson found that there was a space trap hidden inside a part of the wall, which would backfire once it was damaged.

Benson was almost split into two by a space crack, and since then, he never dared to break the wall at will.

In addition, there are many triggered traps.

Now Benson is hiding here and gasping for breath because he triggered a chain trap before, which resulted in the collapse of the entire passage, and he would also encounter the space trap caused by the destruction of the wall.

In order to escape, he endured the impact and the energy bombardment, and stimulated the potential in his body, and finally ran out.

Benson found a quiet place to restore his magic source and repair his wounds, and it was here.

However, what he didn't expect was that Dox would find his location because of the breath of the earth fire salamander bloodline in his body.
