Chapter 534 Entrance


    Thumb?


    Luo Jun frowned slightly. During this period, he had encountered more than five black shops in the maze, and often encountered repeated finger merchants, but from beginning to end, he only saw his index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger, and never saw his thumb.


    At first, Luo Jun thought that it was all about luck to encounter a finger. Now it seems that the thumb seems to have a special status and the normal way is invisible.


    Luo Jun followed his ring finger into the portal. After the space was twisted, the two came to a dim and empty space. In front of them was a huge circular altar with complex textures on the altar, and a circle of torches were burned around to illuminate the center. In the middle of the altar was a stone seat with a strange shape, and a finger merchant sat on it. Because of his special figure, his posture was very strange. His thumb was on the top and his fingertips were an old face with a beard.


    Is this the thumb? It looks completely different from the other fingers. Although it has no movement, it has a faint pressure.


    "Why did you bring outsiders?" He looked at the ring finger with his thumb and asked in a deep voice.


    "He is not an ordinary outsider." The ring finger nodded slightly and said, "He has helped his teammates pass the infinite maze!"


    The thumb frowned slightly: “I felt that someone passed the level not long ago…but I didn’t expect that someone actually had the ability to pass the level, but chose to stay.”


    "He not only stays, but also changes this maze." The ring finger said, "He can be immune to the replacement of chaotic matter!"


    "What?!" His thumb also showed a look of surprise: "The Chaos Race invaded the Maze, the invasion of the Maze has extremely strong talented erosion ability. You can even resist this. Could it be a feathered person?"


    "No..." Thumb himself denied this speculation: "Only the immortal energy and the saint''s body can resist the replacement, but the existence of these two levels will not bring in the A-level mission. What method did you use to resist the erosion of the Chaos Race to replace it?"


    "I have my own way." Luo Jun smiled and said, "You just need to tell me how to restore this maze to its original state."


    Is the body of a saint or the aura of an immortal?


    Luo Jun shook his head secretly in his heart. How did he know these things at first? His confidence in using his body to try to contain monsters with large capacity comes from the judgment of dice.


    I still remember when he determined that there was something wrong with the chicken wings, the serious coefficient given by the dice was six times. If he really would be replaced, it should be twelve times. Even if you get the replacement, there will be a solution, and there is a risk of death. You should have at least ten times the base, only six times the base, which means that after eating, it will be the degree of vomiting and diarrhea for several days...


    Others who almost die after eating chaotic substances can only cause physical discomfort to Luo Jun, which shows that his resistance to chaos replacement is far greater than that of others.


    After digesting the two monsters, Luo Jun could feel that his vitality did have a suppressive effect on the Chaos Monster, but it was difficult to completely eliminate it. His body is also strong enough to resist the replacement of monsters to a certain extent, but it cannot completely eliminate the impact and will be in a stalemate balance.


    If there is only vital energy, Luo Jun will probably have a stagnant mind like Ayrontan, relying solely on vital energy to resist. When the vital energy is exhausted, the replacement will continue.


    If you rely solely on your body, Luo Jun would probably survive the pain of replacement, as if you had a serious chronic disease that could not be cured and would not worsen. You would live in pain.


    Luo Jun could feel that he had not met the two standards of the saint''s body and the immortal''s aura, but he could barely touch the edge. The combination of the two gave Luo Jun the ability to completely kill the chaotic monster!


    And this also gave Luo Jun a little reverie.


    Since the immortal energy is the vital energy of the feather realm, then the concentration of one''s vital energy should not be too different from that of the feather realm. According to the master''s opinion, except for the rare race that has disappeared in the legend, the physical strength of other races is limited. In other words, the current feather realm only has the aura of an immortal, but does not have the body of a saint!


    So, if you can really go further, will you have the chance to gain the true immortal spirit and the body of a saint at the same time?


    In that case, wouldn’t it be called the strongest man above all the feathers? It is even possible to reach that higher level?


    Thinking of this, Luo Jun felt a surge of heart, but soon, the fire of hope was extinguished again.


    He has already consolidated his foundation and cultivated his primordial level and has cultivated to the highest level. There is no possibility of going further. The tendency to concentrate his mind has not appeared. It is very likely that he will be stuck at this last threshold.


    What made him even more desperate was that after breaking through the ninth level of Peiyuan Realm, his cultivation progress dropped sharply.


    Luo Jun was quite excited at first because the last time this happened, from the seventh level of the Gun Realm to the eighth level, his upper limit was raised!


    Could it be that there is still a tenth level in Peiyuan Realm that can be broken through?


    But soon, this fire of hope was extinguished.


    Because Luo Jun discovered that the progress of cultivation this time was not simply slow, but was constantly shrinking.


    Every time the progress increases, the speed of cultivation will be slower. According to this trend, his cultivation progress will eventually be stuck at a bottleneck and will never be able to go further.


    His cultivation path seems to have really come to an end.


    But I haven''t tried it before, Luo Jun still doesn''t give up... The flow of time in this endless maze is much slower than in the real world. As long as there is no pressure to survive, this is a wonderful place to practice. Luo Jun can be here, constantly improving the progress of his cultivation, and there is no need to worry about the passage of time.


    This is also another reason he chose to stay!


    "End all this?" Thumb laughed and said, "Without the help of a diary, you can''t even find the answer. How dare you say such big words?"


    "Do you even know about the diary?" Luo Jun''s diary was obtained from the white shop, and it should have not been mentioned to the black shop.


    Thumb heard it and laughed, "Who do you think you wrote the diary you read?"


    Luo Jun frowned and looked at his thumb: "Are you Zhuge Qian?"


    "Yes...not." Thumb shook his head and said, "Before Zhuge Qian entered this mission, the black store and the thumb already existed. The thumb is the center of the existence of the black store function. It must have strong enough power. So we will find ways to absorb the most powerful challengers in the maze and integrate them into the thumb."


    "It can be said that the thumb now is a collection of many strong people." Luo Jun heard this and analyzed, "What''s going on with the diary? Why is it defective? Who tear off the key part?"


    Thumb smiled and said, "Of course it''s me!"


    "After Zhuge Qian died, he tried his best to leave this diary. But after integrating into his thumb, I knew that the content of the last part of this diary was actually wrong."


    "The four Zhuge Qian were completely trapped in the trap of Chaos creatures in the later stage. Among them, Aliang was replaced by Chaos matter and attacked by the black store, which led to them completely distrust of the black store. Moreover, they believed that eating food made of Chaos matter and completing the challenge on the second floor of the rest area was the correct way to pass the level, and even regretting eating food from the black store... If this diary was seen by later people, it would be likely that the challenger would be misled and turned into more and stronger Chaos creatures, so I tore up the last part."


    "But soon I discovered that without this diary, the challengers later were still easily misled by rules and bewitched by Chaos creatures. This diary is actually the only way for us to convey information to future generations. So I picked up the torn diaries again, but due to the rules, I could not restore them to my original diary. I could only make some choices from these diaries, delete the misleading ones, and devote the rest to the maze, so that you can find them on your own and piece together effective information."


    "I don''t think that the misleading things I found are weak." Luo Jun shrugged: "For example, on the last page, I solemnly reminded not to eat food from black shops. I have believed it for a long time."


    "But you did find the key to passing this page, right?" Thumb smiled and said, "I have been struggling with this page, and the penultimate page, which page is left behind. In the end, I still left the last page."


    "The penultimate page, although the challenge content on the second floor of the rest area was recorded in detail, Zhuge Qian at that time completely misunderstood the truth behind the challenge. The large number of subjective conjectures in it will only mislead you. It would be better to vaguely say that you should not eat food from black shops and give you room to think. As long as you are smart enough and think more about why you can''t eat, there is still hope to break the deadlock."


    "Then why not tell us directly?" Luo Jun asked back, "Isn''t it faster to tell the challenger the truth about the maze directly?"


    Thumb shook his head: "Although we have formed our own power, we are still bound by rules. As a store, even if it is intelligence, it must be exchanged in equivalent terms, even if we want to disclose it ourselves."


    Luo Jun remembered the situation when he used gold ingots to exchange information before. Also this time, the woman also collected two gold ingots that were drooling, and then brought him to this hidden space.


    "Of course, if you guessed the key part yourself, we can still make some simple additions." The ring finger next to him said, "And essentially, we have different positions from the challenger. They want to go out, and our purpose is to prevent chaotic creatures from invading the main world. If necessary, we may be more inclined to trap all challengers in the maze."


    "I understand your difficulties." Luo Jun nodded: "Now back to my question, how can we end all this? I think, on this matter, our position is always the same?"


    "Is it over..." Thumb sighed: "Forget it, we have tried it countless times anyway. You are not much more at one time, and you are not much less at one time... Do you still have gold ingots?"


    "We also need to exchange money for information here?" Luo Jun said curiously.


    "This is the space we have opened up ourselves, but it is still subject to the rules of the maze." Thumb said, "The previous information was considered the discount I gave you, but what I want to say next is that you have to pay."


    "The gold ingots are gone..." Luo Jun shrugged and suddenly took out a card from the equipment bag: "But are you recycling props here? Even if you have a discount, it''s enough, right?"


    "Void Pass?" The thumb''s eyes widened a little. This is a top prop that requires ten ingots to exchange for.


    "Okay, I can break the example." The thumb nodded, and when he raised his hand, the pass in Luo Jun slowly floated up and flew to his thumb.


    "After entering this maze, everyone has been looking for an exit, but few people have thought of such a question..." Looking at Luo Jun with his thumb, he slowly said, "Where is the entrance to this maze?"


    "Entry?" Luo Jun was stunned, "Isn''t that the origin?"


    As he said that, he took out the origin pointer, but found that the prop seemed to have failed here, the pointer turned around randomly, and the value representing distance was also jumping randomly.


    "The origin is just the place where you are teleported in." His thumb shook his head: "That location is random, not a fixed entrance. Just as the exit connects the main world, the entrance to the maze should also have a door connecting to a certain location in the outside world."


    "Outside..." Luo Jun''s eyes rolled. Apart from the challenger who was doing the mission, what else could he have entered this maze from outside?


    "You mean, those chaotic creatures enter this labyrinth channel?" Luo Jun widened his eyes.


    Thumb nodded: "Yes, although we have not yet grasped the exact location, various signs indicate that there is indeed an entrance where chaos creatures are constantly being placed in. We even speculate that it may be changing positions like the exit."


    "So, as long as I can find the entrance and destroy it..." Luo Jun''s eyes lit up: "Can we cut off the source of the chaotic creature?"


    "You have seen the exit, and you should have experienced how difficult it is to destroy the door." Thumb said, "The entrance is likely to be of the same level and may not be able to destroy... But at least, if you can really find the entrance, it should be of great help to destroy these chaotic creatures."


    "Do you have a clue?" Luo Jun asked.


    Thumb shook his head: "We have been trying hard to find it for many years, and we have only mastered some vague clues. It is still far from being truly found. After all, the existence of the entrance is not within the rules of the maze. It should be considered a bug. In the maze, there are almost no props and tips for the entrance, and there is no way to find it."


    "I haven''t found it for so many years..." Luo Jun sighed slightly, thinking of the scale of this maze, he was a little overwhelmed.


    Thumb sighed: "After all, we are dead people. We seem to have integrated into this maze, become part of the rules, and gained certain authority. But from another perspective, we are also firmly limited by the rules of the maze, and many things cannot be done or interfered with... But you are different!"


    As he said, his thumb looked at Luo Jun: "You are free in the maze, and the power you have is enough to break the long-term balance. Perhaps, with your help, we really have the possibility of ending all this!"


    "But, to find a place that should not exist in this endless maze, it will probably be a protracted project!"


    "It doesn''t matter!" Luo Jun looked at his thumb: "As long as there is hope, I have time!"
