Chapter 129 Ryan: Do You Understand the Value of "Monster Hunter"? (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!)

In the strong earthquake, the entrance of the underground maze finally slowly appeared in front of the world.

From a distance, it looks like a raised four-sided pyramid, and on each of its four faces, there is a slowly flowing vortex gate.

With the appearance of the underground maze, professionals on the entire outlying island can clearly feel the sharp increase in the concentration of free spirituality in the environment.

If the original concentration of free spirituality was 0.1, it has now reached at least 0.3.

Until around 0.5, this surge trend gradually slowed down.

The increase in free spirituality is definitely not a good thing for living beings.

It is true that in a high-concentration spiritual environment, living beings have a greater probability of transforming into spiritual creatures, that is, so-called monsters, but for humans, the disadvantages outweigh the benefits - ordinary human bodies cannot withstand the invasion of spirituality at all, but will produce all kinds of strange "deformations".

Of course, this phenomenon will gradually appear after a period of precipitation. At present, the most direct impact of high-concentration spirituality is that a large number of sea monsters will gather around the outlying island and even land.

But for the "ulterior motives" on the island at this moment, these are all later stories. Now, in their eyes, there is only the open "underground maze"!

That represents countless opportunities and wealth!

Almost instantly, a large number of professionals rushed to the underground maze from all directions, just to get the first place.

At this moment, the entire Kingdom of Saint Tos became chaotic. On the huge island, there were only two places that were not greatly affected by the earthquake.

One is the Palace of Saint Tos, and the other is the main hall of the Libra Holy Church.

On both sides of the sacred duel field.

The Libra Pope and the Water Drop Princess looked at each other from a distance, without words, without conversation, and both turned and left at the same time.

The seal of the underground maze was broken, and a huge disaster was about to appear. It was meaningless to continue fighting now.

Although there is no other major danger except the earthquake, the monsters in the underground maze have not reacted yet. Once a large number of monsters leave the underground maze, if they are not suppressed in time, the entire island will be flooded with blood.

As the two left, the First Judge and the Pure White Female Knight also left directly.

Soon, a huge spiritual sound wave spread to the entire island.

"The seal of the underground labyrinth has been broken, and the people on the outlying islands are in danger. I, Princess Ariel, hereby issue a call on behalf of the Royal Family of Saint Tos: Invite all professionals to go to the underground labyrinth and defeat monsters. With the heads of monsters, you can go to the Royal Palace of Saint Tos to convert them into battle points and exchange them for various treasures in the treasury of the palace!"

"Including: various mid-level and low-level wonders, finished magic potions, extraordinary knowledge, magic potion formulas, etc."

The appearance of the notice ignited the ambitions of those professionals who were ready to wait and see before making plans. In particular, after some people went to the Kingdom of Saint Tos to check the specific exchange list, they found that there were indeed mid-level wonders, and even the people of the Royal Family of Saint Tos showed them to ensure that they were true. Suddenly, almost everyone couldn't sit still.

You know, some brave pirates and adventurers have already entered the underground labyrinth, and the number of these high-end exchange items is extremely limited. Once they are exchanged, even if you get enough battle points, you can't exchange them for anything later.

Looking down from the sky above the island, you will find that a large number of black spots are rushing towards the rising underground maze.

...

The darkness in front of him gradually faded.

Ryan opened his eyes, and what he saw was a dim stone wall with a faint glow.

"Have you been sucked into the underground maze?"

Ryan stood up with the help of the stone wall, and couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows. At this moment, he still felt dizzy in his mind.

The vortex attraction generated when the underground maze was broken was very strong. Figuratively speaking, it was like a super-high-speed rotating centrifuge, and those who were sucked in, followed uncontrollably and rotated together.

The strong [physique] made Ryan's dizziness and discomfort in his brain disappear quickly.

He raised his head and looked around.

At this moment, he was in a relatively spacious cave.

A large number of fluorescent plants dispelled the darkness.

Just as Ryan was about to raise his feet and find a direction to explore, suddenly, his expression moved.

"Mr. Ryan, Mr. Ryan, can you hear me?"

A familiar voice appeared in Ryan's mind, it was Freni's voice.

Is it the communication function of the Dark Moon Magic Mark?

Ryan remembered this, and then replied in his heart: "I'm here."

The communication of the "Dark Moon Magic Mark" is very magical. You only need to think about it to transmit what you want to say, and at present, it seems that there is no distance limit, and the effect is quite powerful.

Unfortunately, the engraving of the "Dark Moon Magic Mark" consumes a lot of Freni's original power and cannot be used as a regular means of communication.

"Great!"

On the other side, the witch lady's voice came with joy: "After the underground maze emerged from the surface, I called you for almost ten minutes, but I didn't get a response. I was scared..."

"Ahem, Mr. Ryan, how are you now? Where are you?"

"I'm in the underground maze. I just woke up. I don't know exactly where I am. What's the situation up there now?" Ryan first explained his current situation, and then asked.

"After the underground labyrinth appeared, Princess Waterdrop issued a call on behalf of the Royal Family of Saint Tos. A large number of professionals responded to the call and entered the underground labyrinth." After knowing that Ryan was fine, Freni's tone on the other end of the voice was also much more relaxed: "Cecilia and I are also preparing to follow in to explore."

"The Royal Family of Saint Tos is quite generous this time. After defeating the monster, the monster's head can be exchanged for battle points, and then the battle points can be exchanged for various precious materials."

"I understand..." Ryan nodded slightly.

"That's it for now. If there is any situation, remember to contact me as soon as possible."

"Okay."

After the communication ended, Ryan stood there with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

According to the currently known information, the "theft of the holy object" is closely related to Princess Waterdrop and the Overturned Palace.

Here, it is assumed that the "theft of the holy object" was indeed done by the Water Drop Princess and the Overturned Palace. Then, the Water Drop Princess must also be very clear about the consequences of losing the holy object - the sacred ceremony cannot be carried out, the seal of the underground maze is broken, and a large number of monsters will emerge from the underground maze to the surface, causing countless casualties.

And now, the call issued by the Water Drop Princess on behalf of the Royal Family of Saint Tos is to protect the people on the outlying island.

This inconsistent approach gives people a strong contrast.

What is the meaning of the Water Drop Princess doing this?

Ryan couldn't figure it out.

"Huh..."

He shook his head after a long sigh.

No matter what the purpose of the Water Drop Princess and the Overturned Palace is, for him, as long as he can get enough benefits under the premise of ensuring the safety of himself, Freni and Cecilia, it is enough.

As for the others, he was too lazy to care and didn't want to care.

Ryan didn't rush to leave. He raised his head and pressed it on the forehead of the [Overturned Mask No. 7] on his face.

The overturned mask stained with "holy water drops" can achieve information exchange within a certain area.

With Ryan's control, he soon got in touch with No. 3 Huang Bing, No. 4 Lu Chao, No. 5 Qing Ling and No. 6 Lan Shan.

But like Ryan, the four did not know where they were.

Fortunately, the four are safe and sound at present.

"I initiate location sharing, you come to my location, and after gathering, we will go deeper into the maze together."

Huang Bing said.

Naturally, the others had no objection to this.

Ryan stopped the information exchange and walked in the direction indicated by the mask.

The light in the cave was not bright, and there was a faint fishy smell in the air.

Walking along the passage, Ryan came to the end of the passage in a short time.

What he saw was a huge underground space.

As far as the eye could see, there were strange rocks and dense trees and vegetation. The plants here were different from the green plants on the ground, showing a dark blue or light blue color.

The underground maze is a vast underground ecological space?

This thought came to Ryan's mind, and then his eyes condensed, and he quickly turned his head to look at the lush bushes in front of him.

"Rustle..."

In the breeze, the branches and leaves swayed gently, making a subtle sound.

Everything seemed normal.

But Ryan could feel that there was a subtle and subtle spiritual fluctuation, lurking behind the bushes, ready to launch a fatal sneak attack at any time.

"Not coming out?"

A cold light flashed in Ryan's eyes, he raised his hand and grasped the hilt of the big sword behind him, and after a short period of spirituality and power accumulation, the "first stage of power accumulation" sword energy flew out.

Even if it was only the initial stage of "first stage of power accumulation", under Ryan's current [physique] and [spirituality] blessing, it still burst out with terrible power.

Wherever the sword energy passed, a deep gully was plowed out on the ground, and the monsters in the bushes that felt the crisis could no longer suppress it and jumped out.

It was a monster similar to a mouse, but it was a bit bigger than an average dog, with rough and black hair all over its body. The most eye-catching thing was the single horn growing from its forehead, which emitted a faint purple luster.

——

[Poisonous Horned Rat: A special kind of mouse monster that likes to hide in dark places and is very agile. The single horn growing on its head can be fired when it encounters a crisis, causing fierce poison damage to the enemy, which is difficult to remove by ordinary detoxification methods. The poison sac in the body of the poisonous horned rat is one of the auxiliary materials of many magic potions. 】

——

Facing the incoming sword energy, the poisonous horned rat made a sharp "squeak".

Its four claws emitted a pale purple spiritual light, and its body moved sideways like lightning to avoid the sword energy.

The poisonous horned rat, which had just completed the dodge, looked up at the enemy's position, but was surprised to find that it was empty.

"Sizzle--"

The sound of air tearing exploded, and a fierce sword wind attacked from behind the poisonous horn rat. I don't know when, Ryan has come behind it, and the big sword slashed down vertically.

"Boom!"

The ground shook, spreading a large number of cracks. Where the big sword fell, a large pit with a radius of at least one meter appeared, and in the center of the big pit was the poisonous horn rat, which was already bloody and could not see its original shape.

The big sword returned to the sheath, and Ryan put the whole poisonous horn rat into the space ring.

The strength of the poisonous horn rat is not strong, at best it is at the level of the second level. For the second-level elite professional, it may be a bit tricky, but for Ryan, it is just a sword.

However, the appearance of the poisonous horn rat also reminded Ryan.

In a place like the underground maze, if you continue to suppress your own breath, it is estimated that there will be endless troubles.

Thinking of this, Ryan exhaled lightly.

Obviously his face did not change at all, but if a creature looked at him, it would instinctively tremble.

That was the inexplicable breath left after killing a large number of monsters. On weekdays, Ryan tried his best to suppress this breath, otherwise, anyone on the street would retreat and collapse because of instinctive fear after seeing him.

That was a crushing at the "ecological niche" level.

Hunters who can hunt monsters among monsters-special species are, to some extent, more terrifying than special species.

In a place like the underground maze, Ryan, who no longer suppressed his breath, immediately became the top of the monster ecological chain. The monsters who sensed this breath from afar trembled and fled with their tails between their legs.

If someone could overlook this underground maze, they would find a magical phenomenon. Wherever Ryan passed, all the monsters within a radius of hundreds of meters fled out, forming a strange large blank circle.

Thanks to this, Ryan continued to move forward without any monster jumping out to disturb him.

Not long after, Ryan arrived at the place where Huang Bing was.

This was a small cave. Huang Bing stood at the entrance of the cave. Around her, there were many monsters that had turned into ice sculptures.

Noticing Ryan's arrival, Huang Bing nodded slightly: "Very fast."

Ryan nodded, walked not far from Huang Bing, and waited quietly.

Fifteen minutes later, Green Tide, Qingling and Blue Mountain also arrived one after another.

Unlike Qingling, who sneaked into the shadows and seemed very relaxed, Green Tide and Blue Mountain were much more embarrassed.

The two encountered many monsters along the way, and killed the weak ones directly, and got rid of the tricky ones.

Huang Bing looked at Lu Chao and Lan Shan. Although he didn't say anything, the disdain in his eyes was very obvious.

Lu Chao and Lan Shan were upset about this, but they had nothing to say.

This is what a miserable melee professional is like.

"According to my observation, we should be on the first floor of the underground maze now."

After everyone arrived, Huang Bing said softly:

"The guy on the skeleton altar before should have gone deep into the maze. We have to hurry up and try to reach the entrance to the ninth floor before him."

"According to the information I know, basically, the entrance to the next level of the maze is located in the center of the maze."

"But one thing to note is that the most powerful monsters of this level are likely to be entrenched around the entrance, and such a being is also called the master of the maze."

"Of course, the existence of the master of the maze is not all bad for us. The 'Hanged Man' of the skeleton altar will also be blocked by the master of the maze."

"Come with me, I have a brief map of the underground maze in my hand. Although it is many years ago, I think the terrain will not change much."

After Huang Bing finished speaking, he went to the east first.

Time was running out, Ryan looked at each other, and then followed Huang Bing to quickly rush to the entrance of the next level.

...

Half an hour later, a small lake appeared in front of Ryan and his companions, and in the middle of the lake, there was a hole similar to a whirlpool.

"That should be the entrance to the next level."

Huang Bing said softly.

At this moment, the five people were standing in the shadow of a big tree next to the lake.

Ryan squinted and saw a large piece of blood and flesh floating on the lake.

"The master of the maze is dead, and the 'Hanged Man' should have entered the second level."

"Let's go, follow him."

Huang Bing rushed out first and came to the top of the whirlpool entrance. Perhaps because of the poor "melee fighters" in the team, Huang Bing deliberately left an ice passage on the lake.

...

Just as Ryan and his companions went deeper into the underground maze.

The first batch of pirates and adventurers also came to the underground maze.

Bewitched by wealth and treasures, they soon paid a heavy price for their actions.

When they first encountered the monster, they were still very happy.

After all, in the outside world, on the vast ocean, it is not easy to encounter a monster, and even if you encounter one, most of them are not the types you need.

In the underground maze, the monsters you encounter are all of a relatively precious type, and the materials on them, even if they are not used, can be exchanged for a lot of wealth.

However, soon the pirates and adventurers stopped laughing.

There are too many monsters in the first floor of the underground maze, and for some reason they gather together, often encountering three or four.

Most of the pirates and adventurers who came to the maze were only second-level. Facing monsters of the same level, it is not easy to win alone, not to mention fighting more than one.

Only a few third-level ones can easily hunt monsters.

After paying a lot of sacrifices, the scene gradually stabilized-the powerful professionals went deeper, trying to hunt more powerful monsters and find more precious magic plants, while the weak ones stayed on the first floor, using the team cooperation method to kill monsters bit by bit.

...

Led by Huang Bing, Ryan and his team went down through the underground maze at a speed of more than an hour per level.

Of course, the reason for being so fast, in addition to the death of all the maze masters, the biggest factor affecting it was that no monsters jumped out to attack them along the way.

In this regard, whether it is Luchao, Qingling, Lanshan, or Huang Bing, they all felt puzzled.

Only Ryan knew that the reason why the monsters did not dare to approach was because of the "hunter's aura" left on him.

Even though he had restrained himself before meeting Huang Bing, the remaining aura still frightened the monsters.

The deeper the underground maze went, the stronger the monsters became, and their perception became more acute. Because the "hunter's aura" was aimed at monsters, not humans, and it was just a dissipated remnant, Huang Bing and others did not feel anything.

About ten hours later, Ryan and others came to the entrance of the eighth floor.

The seventh floor of the underground maze was a red wasteland. There was no vegetation here. As far as the eye could see, there were only red strange rocks protruding on the ground.

The entrance to the eighth floor was located in a small basin surrounded by a large number of boulders.

Unlike the previous ones, the seventh-layer maze master did not die, but was entrenched in the center of the basin, and the entrance to the eighth layer was right next to it.

From the appearance, the seventh-layer maze master looked like a huge stone lizard. Even if it was lying on the ground, it was estimated to be nearly four meters high, and there was a strange liquid flowing on the surface of its body like magma.

Ryan and his party stood behind a giant rock a little further away and discussed.

"There is no sign of fighting. It seems that the guy "Hanged Man" has not arrived here yet." Huang Bing said, and there was a hint of joy in his voice.

All the way deeper, the maze masters died at the hands of the "Hanged Man" on the skeleton altar. Obviously, not only Huang Bing had a map in his hand, but the Hanged Man also had a high probability of a map in his hand, otherwise, he would not have been able to get ahead of Ryan and others every time.

Although it is not clear why the Hanged Man did not arrive here one step ahead of them, there is no doubt that this is good news.

"The strength of the seventh-layer maze master, judging from the spiritual fluctuations, belongs to the third-order limit level, and the identity of the monster makes it stronger than the general third-order limit."

"In order to guard against the sudden attack of the 'Hanged Man', Zifeng, one of you and I must sit on the side."

"So, the task of conquering the seventh-layer maze master will be led by me or you, and Lvchao, Qingling and Lanshan will cooperate."

Lvchao, Qingling and Lanshan had no objection to Huang Bing's words.

In the battle of the Saint Phile underground rift, the three of them witnessed Zifeng's strength with their own eyes.

Especially Lvchao.

He couldn't figure out why Zifeng, who he couldn't even defeat before, had such a strong strength in just a few days.

In the end, he could only make the judgment that Zifeng hid his strength when fighting him.

After all, in such a short time, Lvchao really couldn't imagine how to practice to have such a huge improvement in strength without a rank promotion.

In the minds of Lvchao, Qingling and Lanshan, Zifeng is now strong enough to be on par with Huang Bing.

And what Huang Bing said now also represents the fact that in her mind, Zifeng's strength is similar to hers.

"Judging from the appearance of the seventh-layer maze master, it should be a fire-attributed monster. My ability just happens to restrain it. This battle will be fought by me..."

Huang Bing was interrupted by Ryan before she finished her words: "I will do this crusade."

Facing Huang Bing's slightly puzzled eyes, Ryan explained: "My spiritual perception is not strong, and I can't detect the approach of the 'Hanged Man' in time. In comparison, your perception is much stronger."

"Therefore, I will conquer the maze master, and you will be responsible for monitoring the four directions. This is the best solution."

After listening to Ryan's story, Huang Bing nodded slightly, and then asked: "Are you sure?"

Ryan smiled, walked towards the lizard monster in the small basin, and said with Huang Bing on his back: "Of course."

"You can just stand aside and scout for me."

Huang Bing was slightly stunned. She thought Zifeng would be more modest, but she didn't expect him to be so confident.

You know, this is the maze master, not an ordinary third-level extreme monster.

Ignoring the reactions of Huang Bing and others behind him, Ryan raised his hand to hold the hilt of the big sword behind him and walked quickly towards the maze master.

If it were any other type of monster, he would not dare to say such "big words".

But the size of the seventh-layer maze master...

Do you understand the value of "Monster Hunter"!

Ryan's mouth was slightly grinning.

This was the first time he faced such a huge monster with his body, but for some reason, he was not panicked at all, only calm.

Maybe it was because the traveling clone had encountered more and stronger "monsters"...

Ryan's undisguised footsteps immediately alarmed the seventh-layer maze master.

Its huge body stretched out, its ferocious head raised, black smoke poured out of its nostrils, and it let out a thunderous roar.

"Roar--!"

The violent air wave swept around, and countless gravel on the ground flew away.

And what greeted the maze master was a blood-red spear that pierced through.

"Is it a big deal to have a loud voice?"
