Chapter 335 Recruiting the Dungeon
After a conversation with Dumbo, Wang Zhifan finally decided to let this strange guy follow him, because he considered that its power might be used when dealing with the Demon King. As for attracting people Pay attention to this aspect and let Dumbo usually hide in his ring space and try to keep a low profile.
In this way, Wang Zhifan continued to ride the red deer horse flying towards the next destination, which was the Endless Dungeon. He planned to see if the Demon King had already broken the seal and returned there, or to investigate. Other information about the Demon King.
Since the location of the Endless Dungeon and the Dark Tower were completely opposite, he was very close to his starting point on the way, which was the initial town of this instance, so he chose to take a trip back. , see if you can find an appraiser or the like to look at the equipment.
It took a little time to find Jack, the mercenary helper who stayed in the town. Wang Zhifan expressed his wishes to him and sought the local man's experience and help.
Wang Zhifan found Jack at the entrance of the Mercenary Union. According to what the boy said, he had just finished posting a reward for information on the Demon King and was about to go to various taverns to continue collecting information.
"Equipment appraisal? If it is ordinary equipment, I can appraise it for you. I, Jack, have been a mercenary for so many years and my eyesight is pretty good. But if it is very rare or high-end equipment, I recommend you to go to the Craftsman Association. Find a senior appraiser here, they are the ones who know the most about equipment in the world."
At this time, outside the door of the mercenary union, Jack gave his advice to Wang Zhifan, and what Dumbo said. Not much different.
"Okay...how much does the service of these high-level appraisers cost? And where is the craftsmen's association in town specifically?"
Wang Zhifan decided to adopt this suggestion, mainly because he didn't think Jack really Can understand the equipment he obtained.
"The Craftsmen's Association is not far from here, and the cost is hard to say. I will take you there now."
Jack, who had short red hair, quickly led Wang Zhifan the way, asking him as he walked:
"Why did you come back in just one day? Are you not planning to go to the Dark Tower?”
In Jack’s opinion, Wang Zhifan’s return to town so quickly must have given up on his previous plan. After all, he didn’t understand how fast Wang Zhifan was traveling. , thinking that he had just left town for half a day and returned.
“I will go, wait until the equipment is appraised.”
Wang Zhifan didn't explain much and continued to let him misunderstand that he didn't leave the town very far.
Jack had no doubts after hearing this. He ended the topic and turned to tell Wang Zhifan the latest information he had collected about the Demon King.
“Boss, I heard a piece of news at the Wild Bee Tavern this morning. It said that all the major kingdoms are currently recruiting strong men of various professions. Whether they are mages, warriors, thieves or priests, they are all very popular. Some people said The major kingdoms are doing this to cope with the coming disaster. One possibility is that the devil is about to appear, but there are other theories. If you are interested, I will continue to explore in this regard..."
< br>"Is there such a thing? Where should I go if I want to respond to the call?"
Wang Zhifan became interested as soon as he heard it. Based on the information he knew so far, he judged that the news was very likely to be true. , then it is also a good choice to defect to the local upper-level forces. At least those people have very rich sources of intelligence, which is much more reliable than him looking for the Demon King alone. It is even possible that the local high-end forces have already locked the current location of the Demon King.
"Boss, do you really want to go? Well... maybe those nobles will know a lot of information about the Demon King... Then I suggest you go to a few royal cities to have a look. It is said that the king personally interviews the summoned ones in the palace, and also There will be some necessary strength tests..."
Jack was a little surprised that Wang Zhifan was interested in this kind of recruitment. The reason was that he knew very well what level of professionals the major kingdoms needed. It was definitely not an ordinary guy like him who could meet the requirements. So Wang Zhifan wanted to show that this boss valued him. Very confident in his own strength.
“Okay, tell me on the map which royal cities are close to each other.”
After hearing what he said, Wang Zhifan took out the sheepskin that had been put into the space ring. Paper map and ask Jack to put some labels on it.
Then he found the Craftsmen Association under Jack's guidance, but he did not let Jack take him in personally. Instead, he asked Jack to leave early to collect intelligence.
Then Wang Zhifan took out the Crazy Treeman mask and changed his image, turning himself into an ordinary old man. He went in alone and made an appointment with an appraiser to appraise all the pieces of equipment he obtained from the tower.
There is no need to go into details about the process. The appraiser was very surprised that the visitor could come up with such high-end equipment. After appraising the attributes of the equipment, he asked Wang Zhifan if he had any intention to sell it. He said that all major kingdoms are currently collecting this kind of equipment. Top equipment.
Wang Zhifan naturally did not agree to him, and at the same time, he ignored the secret probing eyes of the union. He directly used Dream Entering and Dream Breaking to escape on the spot, and moved to the external avatar that had been prepared long ago, making people want to follow him. He had no choice, and he probably didn't know his true identity, and just thought that the ordinary old man he pretended to be was his true face.
Of course, Wang Zhifan acted so carefully not only to avoid trouble, but also to avoid implicating his partner in this dungeon, the mercenary Jack. Otherwise, with his strength, he would be able to cover up the water with his troops.
“According to the appraisal results, this sword is indeed a great sword of sin. Its quality is very excellent. Its most precious feature is that it has a very high growth limit. As long as it continues to absorb the souls of the dead, its The power will expand step by step, and may eventually grow to the level of an artifact... This cloak is called The top equipment of the Darkness Cloak can make the wearer immune to the influence of negative energy. Even if he is in hell, he can be as comfortable as a devil... This silver ring is much different. It is a relatively ordinary item. Its main function is Improves the wearer's toxin resistance and also has some detoxification ability..."
At this time, Wang Zhifan, who had quietly left the initial town on a red deer horse, took stock of the equipment information he had obtained. The confirmation of the Sinful Sword did not surprise him very much, but the Darkness Cloak gave him a little surprise, because he remembered that in the tower The giant dragon mentioned that the Demon King is a powerful demon, and a demon must control powerful negative energy. Now that he has this piece of equipment, he will have some advantages when fighting against the Demon King.
"Dumbo, you must have seen the Demon King. Tell me, is it a demon?"
I was bored on the road, so Wang Zhifan asked towards his Poseidon Meditation Ring. , there is a strange existence hidden inside that claims to be a rune spirit.
"The Demon King is no ordinary demon!"
The guy in the ring jumped out as soon as he heard his question, showing his mastery of space power.
"It is much more powerful than ordinary demons. It is said to be a demon king who broke the boundaries of the plane! Adventurers, please do not underestimate it. Many powerful humans have been sacrificed to seal it."
The guy then emphasized how terrifying the Demon King was and should not be viewed the same way as an ordinary demon. "Then if a demon can control the ability of projection to come, is it considered very powerful?"
Wang Zhifan then thought of the man he met in the tower who wanted to get his soul. There is a chance that the opponent is also a demon, and his strength should not be weak.
“Demons who can project are all high-level existences and are not much weaker than the Demon King.”
Dumbo thought for a moment before answering.
"It seems that the so-called Demon King is not particularly strong..."
Wang Zhifan was not very impressed by the strength of that projection, and intuitively felt that the opponent's body would not be too powerful. , then based on this speculation, the BOSS Demon King of this copy may not be much stronger than him, and he has hope of soloing.
This is not because he is arrogant, but because he knows very well how far he has reached by relying on his unique advantages. If even he cannot fight against the Demon King, this dungeon cannot be called a dungeon, and other players I'm afraid there is no hope of passing the level.
After chatting for a while and driving at high speed for a while, Wang Zhifan rode a red deer and arrived at his destination, the Endless Dungeon.
Originally, after Jack provided the latest information, he wanted to visit the royal city first, but considering that the dungeon also produced equipment and might be able to pick up some treasures, he did not change his itinerary.
Different from the pitch-black towers occupied by private soldiers of nobles, the Endless Dungeon is located in a relatively remote location and covers a vast area with numerous ground entrances, so there is no force powerful enough to monopolize it. Small groups of civilian adventurers can find their own entry routes and head underground to find their own wealth and power.
Wang Zhifan jumped off the red deer horse, released the summons to the red deer and let it go back to rest, and then began to find his own exploration route.
This place can be generally considered to be a vast mountainous area. There are dense forests and hidden caves covered by vegetation everywhere. From time to time, you can also see some ruined building ruins, whether they are caves or ruins. , may all lead to the deep underground, which is a location that adventurers will definitely explore.
In order to increase the efficiency of the search, Wang Zhifan released several of his dream self clones from the dream to assist him in large-scale exploration. These existences that can penetrate walls and enter the ground are extremely suitable for this kind of thing. It only took him less than half an hour to find multiple routes into the dungeon, and he quickly chose to enter from a very dilapidated ruins entrance.
In fact, with his ability, he can directly transfer into the dungeon, such as relying on the mysterious abilities of entering dreams, breaking dreams, or shadow shoes. However, the information he learned shows that the dungeon is similar to the dark tower and has certain operating rules. If If he didn't follow the routine, it might cause some bad results, so he decided to follow the established route, even though it would cause some waste of time.
At this moment, Wang Zhifan, who was holding a Wolf-Destroying Blade, jumped over the weed-covered stones and headed towards the vaguely visible stone building ruins on the top of a hill.
He noticed that the weeds on these stones were not evenly distributed, and the vegetation on some lines was much sparser, which showed that the entrance to the ruins he chose had been discovered long ago, and many people passed through it. Enter the dungeon.
"I haven't found any dark breath yet. Doesn't it mean that there is the old subordinate of the Demon King in the dungeon?"
The main purpose of Wang Zhifan coming here is to determine the whereabouts of the Demon King, so he At present, use your own perception to fully expand it, and you can track down any clues you find.
But he hasn't found any clues about the Demon King yet, but other unusual movements have been detected clearly.
After a while, he finally climbed to the top of the mountain ahead and stood in front of the stone ruins. The ruins looked empty and very messy. There were many debris left by humans scattered on the ground, even in some corners. There was also a faint smell of excrement.
He ignored all the unimportant things and fixed his eyes on a stone slab on the ground. Under the stone slab was an entrance to the underground city.
He walked up to the stone slab, pulled out the long knife in his hand, and slashed downward with a sudden slash. The stone slab below instantly broke into countless pieces, and at the same time, a scream came from inside.
“Haha, I told you to hide down there and trick me.”
It turns out that Wang Zhifan opened the way so roughly because he sensed that someone was ambushing him. It was probably some people who specifically targeted adventurers and wanted to take advantage of others to open the shutters to launch an attack.
The stone slab was broken, so he jumped into it, stepped on a male corpse that was still bleeding, and officially entered the underground city passage.
The light in the passage is extremely poor. Generally speaking, the adventurers who come in will either carry a light source or prepare spells or equipment such as dark vision. However, Wang Zhifan’s own perception is extraordinary and does not require such In this way, he can completely judge the surrounding situation by perception, which is not much different from seeing directly with his eyes, and may even be more accurate.
The dark passage that initially extended underground was not too long. It turned into a horizontal passage less than 100 meters away, and there were candles hanging on the walls burning in the passage, reflecting many incomplete buildings. Bones.
“Most of them were killed by people, and a few died at the hands of monsters.”
Wang Zhifan judged the cause of death of the deceased at a glance, and then turned his gaze to the depths of the current passage.
A few dozen meters in front of him, a reptile monster with sharp teeth and sharp mouth had appeared. It looked like a mutated crocodile, and its vicious eyes were staring at this new visitor.
But if any adventurer only pays attention to this monster, he may be in trouble, because there are more dangerous enemies hiding in the candlelight shadow on one side of the passage.
Wang Zhifan naturally sensed all dangers immediately, but he pretended to only notice the monster on the ground in the passage, and stepped forward with a long knife in hand.
When passing a certain location, he slowed down a little without leaving any trace, so that the hostility hidden in the shadows on the side could have a chance to be released.
But slightly to his surprise, the attack did not happen, and the other party simply let him pass smoothly.
