Chapter 732: Chapter 231: The Seductive Demon Eye Blooms, The Incubus’s Tail Can Also Kill (10K)_5
Simply put, as the first Newbie Village, it had hidden advantages that made it more conducive to new players’ growth, essentially a "simple difficulty" start.
But this batch of Slime elevators to hell directly told Jiu Yue and the others that this was not the so-called "system-set simple difficulty," but merely that Lancaster had never really considered the players.
"How does it feel, this batch of Slime elevator direct train? Quite fast, right?"
Kael smirked as he spoke.
"Well... It was quite unexpected in every possible way."
Heaven’s Wings of the Military God touched his thinning hair, feeling a bit nostalgic for a moment.
As soon as they came down, they noticed, illuminated by Magic Lamps, the numerous criss-crossing passages around them.
A glance gave the feeling of being in a claustrophobic confine.
Then, upon closer inspection, it felt like being in a maze.
"A natural underground maze?" Jiu Yue muttered, her eyes sweeping over her system panel, "Ah, why am I losing health?"
Kael clapped his hands and said, "Ah, sorry, I forgot you guys are not cyborg knights. Aister..."
Just as he finished speaking, Aister transformed his body into a semi-transparent cover, enveloping the ground and everyone around them.
It was only then that Kael apologized:
"Sorry, this is not a natural underground maze, but a hidden passage in Lancaster that I created through some special means."
"Why did I just lose health?" Jiu Yue was arguably among the top ten players in Lancaster Territory who interacted most with Kael.
Unlike Heaven’s Wings, who preferred spending time in the industrial area,
Heaven’s Wings was more cautious while gaming, avoiding asking questions that might cause variables.
On the other hand, Jiu Yue was quite familiar with Kael and didn’t hesitate to ask him questions after getting to know him better.
"Lack of oxygen and toxic gas," Kael said calmly.
"For our Lancastrian Slimes, after my modification, most of the Slimes in the Gluttonous Slime Ranch have the ability to filter toxic gas and provide breathable air.
To ensure that any enemy attempting to enter the underground passages faces inevitable weakening or suffocation due to lack of oxygen, the entire environment of the underground passages is extremely detrimental to normal human survival."
My goodness!
Even the King of Hell would bow to these people.
Compared to visible dangers, the effects of toxic gas and hypoxia-induced suffocation often go unnoticed initially.
Sometimes, it’s only when the body starts showing noticeable adverse reactions and enters a countdown to death that one realizes they’ve fallen into an enemy’s trap.
Several players subconsciously looked at Aister, who was like a hemisphere covering their surroundings.
Without Aister, their survival time in the underground space would have been unknown.
In the darkness, a sudden ringing of bells accompanied by a gust of cold wind caused the players to tense up and look into the dark depths.
Why did it feel like they had walked into a horror movie set?
Soon, the sound of light footsteps approached, and one Magic Lamp after another lit up the stone walls at the distant corner.
A group of goblins appeared before them.
"Phew..."
Several players let out a deep breath, their faces showing embarrassed expressions.
Could they admit they had just been scared?
"Lord!" The leading goblin approached, smiling happily.
Goblins were naturally a hospitable race, and they showed genuine affection for their allies, even more so for Kael...
The one who had single-handedly foiled the multiple-nation Alliance conspiracy and brought them to this world, where intelligent goblins had almost vanished.
After learning of Kael’s rise to fame, they regarded him as the epitome of knowledge and power.
Especially after understanding the knighting protocol in the Yibel Federation, many goblins expressed their willingness to pledge eternal loyalty to Kael upon his arrival at the Dungeon.
But in the end, Kael declined after much consideration.
Technically, as the lord of this territory, Kael was nominally the leader of Wandong City.
But Kael knew better that a free soul could not be confined by the title of "citizen."
Citizens were not slaves, after all.
On the Shenhwa continent, if one became a slave, the slave owner could do almost anything to them, such as putting collars on them and demanding they pick cotton...
But a citizen was different.
As a legitimately recognized free individual, the races that entered the continent through proper means had their personal freedoms protected.
Whether you could convince them all to stay was a different matter.
Although many nobles on the frontier would secretly turn free citizens into slaves for the sake of territorial security and personal gain...
Why bother?
A person with far-reaching ambitions would not engage in such despicable acts for petty gains.
What do you think?
