Chapter 514 Are you back?
Other ways?
"You mean...shop?" Mao Xintong''s eyes lit up.
"There is no other channel at the moment." Luo Jun spread his hands: "It seems that the most obvious manifestation of the opposition between the two forces is on the black and white shops." As he said that, Luo Jun took out the map of the white shop: "Let''s go to the white shop first to see if there are any clues."
"Then let''s go now!" Ma Qiao couldn''t wait. Old Yuan persuaded him, "Don''t worry, there is still one day in the agreed time, and Li Ying and the others have not replied yet."
Mr. Yuan still cares about this former student. Although he is not a disciple, he is also a graduate of Ningdong after all.
Everyone could only continue to recuperate at this origin. No more information was seen in the diary, so they were taken aside by Zhuge Zi and read it carefully in the corner alone. Looking at my grandfather’s previous diary, this shy girl had her eyes wet from time to time.
Finally, the day passed quickly and I didn’t see Li Ying’s group in the end. Old Yuan sighed: “Let’s stop waiting, let’s go.”
Luo Jun took out the map and faced a door hole: "So far, we have not explored this direction yet, so let''s choose this side."
As soon as he finished speaking, before Luo Jun could activate the map, Yuan Lao, Mao Xintong and Zhuge Zi all changed their faces and took out the communication talisman paper.
"There is new news!" Mr. Yuan immediately played the message and found that it was sent by Li Ying: "I am still rushing back, and I expect to arrive in a few hours."
"He is still alive!" Old Yuan''s eyes lit up: "This kid is still alive!"
Others were also excited when they heard this. In this endless maze, one more survivor will be more powerful.
Everyone started to wait in place. After more than three hours, a figure flashed out from the arch on the side. It was Li Ying!
"You''re back!" Old Yuan greeted with a smile. Li Ying nodded and came to everyone. Everyone looked behind him: "Where is Zheng Yu who is with you?"
Li Ying sighed: "We encountered a strange monster. The thing has basically no fixed shape and is smooth all over, like plasticine. No matter how you attack it, it will be useless. In the end, Zheng Yu was killed by it, and only I escaped..."
"It''s a chaotic creature!" Everyone said in surprise. The monster described by Li Ying had many similarities with those recorded in the diary and those encountered by Yuan Lao Luo Jun and others.
"It seems that these chaotic creatures have indeed had a great impact on the mission." Old Yuan sighed: "Let''s do this, we have sufficient supplies now, so don''t separate, go find the next store together."
Then, Mr. Yuan also told Li Ying about the information that everyone had obtained in the past two days. Li Ying seemed a little scared by the Chaos creature, and his reaction was a little dull. He didn''t dare to act alone. He heard that everyone was going to go together, so he naturally agreed.
"By the way, senior brother." Luo Jun suddenly stopped Li Ying: "Although we also encountered a Chaos creature, that thing was killed by Mr. Yuan from a long distance and did not fight directly. Can you tell me how this kind of monster attacks and kills people?"
Others are also very interested in this, after all, they may encounter it next. You can be prepared for it if you know it in advance.
Li Ying nodded and recalled: "The one we encountered looked like a huge goat at first. At first we didn''t care, but later we saw the strange appearance of its untextured body, and then we became alert."
"The ranged attack at the beginning did not work. Later, the monster approached and Zheng Yu stepped forward to fight in close combat, but the monster suddenly changed its shape and its whole body exploded, as if it opened a big mouth and swallowed Zheng Yu. Zheng Yu was swallowed without much struggle. Next, the monster split out many tentacles and tried to swallow me, but I escaped..."
Speaking of this, Li Ying showed a look of regret on his face: "I was really scared... If I hadn''t run away at that time and stayed to fight with the monster, maybe I could have saved Zheng Yu."
"You can''t blame you." Luo Jun also nodded: "The main reason is that these chaotic creatures have many changes and cannot be defended..."
As he said that, he also patted Li Ying on the shoulder.
"Okay, let''s stop being too slow, hurry up and go find a store." Luo Jun clapped his hands: "Just as I said before, I''ll start using the map... Senior brother, please join me and help me record the video."
As he said that, Luo Jun handed the video recorder to Li Ying: "We must record all the changes in the map along the way, and we must not miss a little. We will look for it back."
"As for Mr. Yuan, you are the strongest, right? You are with Ma Qiao?"
Old Yuan was slightly stunned. Luo Jun had never asked him to live in the palace before, and he was with Ma Qiao. What was this kid doing?
However, based on his trust in his apprentice, he still obeyed the arrangements and said with a smile: "Okay, I will protect you juniors."
In this way, the group chose a direction that they had never explored before, and Luo Jun and Li Ying took the lead, looking at the map while leading the way.
Although Li Ying is a little old and has a little fat, he runs very fast. He is also a martial artist, and it seems that his attainments are only higher than those of Ma Qiao. Luo Jun pulled his speed to 145, and he could still keep up steadily.
Behind the two are Mao Xintong and Zhuge Zi. Although the former is an insight school, there is a pair of roller skates as treasures. They are very fast after wearing them and are not expensive. As for Zhuge Zi, this girl''s quality is amazing. Not only is she running very fast, even if she starts to fall behind, she can flash from time to time, keep up with the team, and even flash in front of Luo Jun and wait.
As for behind, there are Sun Xiaowei riding an electric bike, Ma Qiao riding a bicycle, and the veteran running with his legs.
Everyone moved forward all the way, and finally, after an hour, stopped as the map effect ended.
Luo Jun took out the origin pointer. The straight line distance between here and the origin is 88 kilometers, but the mileage displayed by Sun Xiaowei''s electric vehicle is close to 150 kilometers.
After all, it is a maze, and it is impossible to move forward straight. In order to roughly maintain one direction, I still took a lot of ways.
Next, we began to look for those special locations according to the recorder.
This time, the map swept eight relics, four treasure chests, countless monsters and mechanisms, but there was only one store.
It seems that the number of stores is smaller than expected... But it doesn''t matter, as long as you have it, you can continue to cycle.
As there are too many people, the efficiency of exploration has also increased. Sometimes the two special places are closer and you can explore separately. After all, you can go to the front place to meet. Anyway, there are maps recorded by a video recorder, so you are not afraid of getting lost.
In this way, about a day and a half later, everyone returned to the starting point. In addition to the silver ingots and copper coins, they also opened a prop from the treasure chest.
This is something similar to a magic wand, it is a consumable, the effect is that it can generate a wall at a designated location, which can be used in total three times.
I have seen many props for opening walls, and this is the first time I have seen them. However, this thing is well used to isolate dangers and is a practical treasure. Luo Jun put it away.
After collecting the treasures, everyone took a break at the origin, set off at the time, and headed towards the only store I swept to.
This shop is not far from the origin. According to the guide of the map, even if you move forward leisurely, it only took less than half an hour to arrive. Then Luo Jun came out and redeemed twenty pieces of supplies at midnight.
The team expanded to seven people, and they stayed at the origin for so long. The previous supplies had almost been consumed. These twenty supplies plus the original remaining ones were saved, which was almost enough for everyone to consume in a week.
As for those silver ingots and copper plates, the total amount was more than 20,000 yuan, plus the original more than 10,000 yuan, there were almost 35,000 yuan. To be on the safe side, Luo Jun bought another carry-on map. If he didn''t scan the store once, he would have a guaranteed guarantee. What should be bought and what should be replaced are almost the same. Luo Jun finally got to the point and took out the diary of Zhuge Qian.
"Brother, we are also acquaintances. Please ask you for something." Luo Jun leaned on the window frame: "This is what I opened from a relic, but there are defects inside. Do you know what''s going on?"
"Corrupt?" The merchant took the diary and checked it. He quickly turned to the torn pages, frowned and said, "This situation is still rare... Could it be destroyed by the original owner of the relics?"
"I can guarantee that it is definitely not." Luo Jun said confidently: "It was definitely destroyed by some kind of force after his death."
"After death..." the businessman frowned, "That is likely to be the influence of those things..."
"Those things?" Luo Jun raised his eyebrows.
"It''s what I mentioned to you, those guys from black shops... They are particularly keen on breaking the rules of the maze and don''t seem to want anyone to leave this maze."
Luo Jun frowned and said, "What do you mean is that only when I go to the black store can I find these pages that are missing?"
"How is that possible?" The white businessman shook his fat head: "If this matter was really done by those guys, then they would like to destroy all their diaries, how could they keep it in their hands?"
"It makes sense." Luo Jun nodded: "Is there no hope at all?"
"That''s not..." The fat businessman touched the diary and said, "The rule of the maze is to perfectly replicate the treasures in the relics. At least within the scope of the maze, the treasures must be able to play a complete role. This kind of behavior of damaging the treasures is absolutely not allowed!"
"So according to my experience, this kind of act of destroying treasures will definitely be sanctioned by the supreme rules of the maze. Perhaps some pages have been completely destroyed, but it is also possible that some are left in the maze during the sanctions process and there is still a chance to find them."
Luo Jun''s eyes lit up when he heard this: "How should we find it?"
"It''s harder to find a needle in a haystack, relying on you," the fat businessman shook his head: "After all, there is no prop that can guide these diaries. If you find a few pieces of paper in such a big maze, you may not find one in a hundred years!"
"However, our endless shops will provide a special service." The businessman changed his tone and rubbed his fat hands and smiled: "As long as you pay some deposit, we can help you find what you want."
"Paid search?" Luo Jun raised his eyebrows.
"That''s right... Sometimes, guests may also leave something in the maze. As long as they pay some labor fees, we can find it on their behalf. After all, white shops are full of mazes, and we have some unknown channels, so finding things is much more efficient than customers."
"This is really good." Luo Jun nodded: "How much does it cost?"
"Considering that you have been lost for a long time and the difficulty of finding it..." The businessman calculated and finally stretched out a finger: "Find a number."
"One thousand?" Luo Jun raised his eyebrows.
"No..." The fat businessman shook his head: "Ten thousand!"
"Ten thousand?!" Not only Luo Jun was the one who listened behind him, but the others were also in an uproar.
"We worked so hard for several days to earn ten thousand. Is it so expensive to find a piece of broken paper?" Ma Qiao was the first to quit.
"That''s right!" Sun Xiaowei also echoed: "There are more than a dozen missing diaries in total. If we have this money, we might as well exchange the exit indicator. What''s the point of doing with you!"
"This is indeed too expensive!" Zhuge Zi also shook her head: "Although I really want to read my grandfather''s last diary, I can''t guarantee that these diaries will have content that helps us leave. This is too expensive."
"We are also old customers, so it''s cheaper." Mao Xintong also advised.
…
Faced with everyone''s condemnation, the fat businessman wiped his sweat: "This, we have to pay for our work. Endless shops have always refused to bargain..."
As soon as these words were said, everyone was even more excited.
"Okay, everyone calm down..." At this time, Luo Jun raised his hand to suppress everyone''s dissatisfaction, turned to look at the fat businessman, and smiled, "I think there is nothing in this world, it''s so absolute."
While saying this, he passed a dice in his heart.
"Cut down to the lowest price of the merchant!"
"Ding, the event is 100 points difficult, the final point is 85+15 points, the event is successful!"
Unexpectedly, the difficulty was as high as 100, but fortunately, it was quite good, and it was successful with only one intermediate correction.
But what is the reserve price?
No matter what, first quote a price that he absolutely cannot accept.
"Why not do this..." Luo Jun smiled and said, "This is not the first time we have cooperated. I believe you rarely meet repeat customers like me."
"Business is a long-term business. If you have more services, we will buy more things from you, right?"
Luo Jun''s words seemed to have some magic in his words. After hearing this, the merchant actually felt that it made some sense. He raised his eyes and asked, "Then do you offer a price, how much do you think it''s appropriate to give?"
"What do you want me to say..." Luo Jun looked at the fat businessman, his eyes rolled, and he laughed, "It''s not easy for us to make money, and it''s not worry about betting on you. Why don''t you do this? Please help us find two to prove your ability?"
"You mean...free?" The fat businessman''s expression became distorted...
"No, no..." Luo Jun waved his hand: "Give me another two thousand deposits, otherwise you won''t run away, where can we find it..."
