1406: 474.
We call it “suicide strategy”_2 1406: 474.
We call it “suicide strategy”_2 Although he wasn’t a naturalist, Cheche could still sense so kind of “harmony” in this area.
The deeper he went, the more life forms he detected; to his astonishnt, this forbidden area was not only inhabited by terrifying giant snakes.
There were also nurous other creatures here.
Swamp tigers, crocodiles, jungle bats, and so brightly colored birds flying around the trees, even strange monkeys swinging on vines, deer wandering by the water in the forest, and silly rabbits peeking out of the bushes.
It was like an undisturbed “paradise.”
“This isn’t right!
This totally contradicts what my middle school biology teacher, whom I had a crush on, taught about ecosystems.
The daily food intake of super-sized creatures alone should have wiped out all life here.”
Cheche scratched his head, unable to understand.
He vaguely rembered that his charming middle school biology teacher didn’t describe ecosystems like this.
Although the scene before him was relaxing, its strangeness made him more cautious.
He refrained from getting too close to those seemingly “normal” things, after all, he was in an “abnormal” place.
He followed the massive pit-like trails left by Ningkinanka in the mud as he moved forward and then, unsurprisingly, discovered…
“Damn it!
Guys co over, this is a huge labyrinth.”
Cheche said morosely over the communicator:
“I saw my own footprints that I just made, which ans I’ve started walking in circles.
There must be a large maze spell in effect here…”
“Maze spell?
Isn’t that just the ‘invisible wall’ set by the developnt team?”
Gebao exclaid:
“Holy shit, is there another ongoing test project here?
Are we re-experiencing Stick Brother’s story?
Should you co back first?
We might end up like Stick Brother, getting a seven-day lockout.
If we get banned for seven days right now in the middle of this quest, I think I’ll go insane.”
“Probably not.”
Cheche stroked his chin and guessed:
“Behind this is just a barren mountain, I didn’t see anything noteworthy, but I did find traces of the giant snake’s movent everywhere here, and I picked up its shed scales in the mud.
Its nest must be sowhere in this labyrinth.
And you know what, these scales really look like gemstones.
Item Identification says it’s a high-grade crafting material with a built-in ‘Glare Spell.’ Even if we don’t find the nest, it’s good to collect more scales to share with everyone.
Anyway, hurry up.
Don’t worry, it’s very safe along the way, I guess this Ningkinanka snake is the only dangerous thing in this area, and now that the Wolf People have lured it away, we have unobstructed passage here.”
“Okay, you wait!”
Hearing that they could find high-grade crafting materials in the labyrinth, a group of student-party adventurers promptly set out.
They completely didn’t notice the mischievous Sir Morphy following behind them.
The Vampire Governor followed his student-party warriors invisibly, slipping into the now-proven safe Swamp Forbidden Area as if on a trip.
He felt a weird sense of “achievent.”
This was a place even Triss, the “unlucky traveler,” had never been to.
Ha, he had finally surpassed Triss in so aspect.
Soon, Morphy realized how pathetic his pursuit was…
Sigh, having an overly impressive girlfriend might just be a downside, huh?
“Holy shit, we really found them!”
After eting up with Cheche, the students spread out in the Great Labyrinth, and soon found many giant snake scales discarded in the mud.
These crafting materials, even in their raw state, were marked as “fine” quality, representing their rarity and value.
Instantly, any faint discouragent in the students’ hearts was thrown to the winds.
Even if the backup plan couldn’t be smoothly implented, just these scales would surely net a nice side inco for Lady Triss.
They enthusiastically beca “mushroom pickers,” searching everywhere in the mud mired with maze spells, but Morphy didn’t care about the hidden treasures.
He furrowed his brow the mont he entered the maze, because his administrator system suddenly prompted him that there was an “optional exploration area” nearby.
“What does ‘optional exploration area’ an?
Can you at least give an explanation?”
Morphy complained in his mind:
“When I first activated this system, I was amazed by your functions, but the more I use it, the more I realize you’re just trouble after trouble, now too lazy even to provide explanations.
However, when the administrator system was officially unlocked, that [Data Deletion] said it left so things on this Continent to help better fulfill my mission, so, does this ‘optional exploration area’ an there’s so ‘aid item’ it left nearby?
Tsk, if it weren’t for the urgent situation of tackling the Plague Town initiative, I’d definitely spend so ti exploring here.
But since it’s marked as ‘optional exploration,’ it ans this thing can be done anyti, most likely it won’t interfere with my ‘main quest’ progression.”
