Apocalyptic Lord: Heroes of Might and Magic Descend

Chapter 64 The Underground World

Lin Mo completely cleared out the "Second Academy" treasure chest area this time.

He didn't miss any of the treasure chests in the other nooks and crannies either, since he was already there. But relatively speaking, the two magic scrolls and the two strategic treasures were the most important.

Needless to say, the magic scrolls, one for "blindness" and the other for "wind," are a perfect fit for Lin Mo's current troop types.

From now on, we won't be afraid of even encountering advanced ranged units.

The advantage of having a large number of skeletons can be fully utilized.

Secondly, the increased health from the [Ring of Vitality] makes the skeletons more durable, resulting in fewer casualties from the same attack.

Of course, if it were only for this reason, Lin Mo wouldn't have made this trip.

The key item is the Tier 2 strategic treasure, Divine Speed, which can increase the production of Tier 2 troops within the territory. More importantly, it is one of the components for synthesizing treasures.

The combination of Heavenly Gifted Feet, Heavenly Gifted Hips, Heavenly Gifted Body, Heavenly Gifted Arm, and Heavenly Gifted Head can be combined to create a Heavenly Gifted Weapon, which increases troop production within the territory by 50%.

Just by looking at the effects of this thing, you can tell how amazing it is.

It would provide a huge boost in any territory.

Lin Mo not only knew the location of the Heavenly Gift Foot, but also the specific locations of the other components, which is why he was determined to come and obtain them.

Because in his eyes, it was already his for the taking.

"Let's leave it at that for now. There are other good things in Migratory Bird City. Let's take it slow. First, let's go downstairs and check on our colleagues. Also, let's see if they've taken the completion reward from that maze."

Lin Mo came out of the Second Academy, looked in the direction, summoned his skeletal warhorse, and immediately rushed over.

His previous company was in the Yuanhui Building, which had 24 floors. The company was on the 13th floor, and the maze was on the basement floor... Perhaps, because Lin Mo recalled carefully, the maze should have been "refreshed" on the basement floor and "merged" with the basement to become a whole.

As for the so-called monsters, they are nothing more than the level four minotaurs in the dungeon.

Therefore, the source of 'fear' is insufficient firepower. When you have enough 'firepower,' the kind of embarrassment, fear, and despair you experienced in your previous life simply won't happen.

"arrive!"

Lin Mo stood on his horse in an area filled with tall buildings.

He even saw the shop selling "egg pancakes" at the intersection not far away, but it was already empty, with only the stove, signboard and price list remaining.

Judging by the timeline, everyone still alive here should have already fled.

Lin Mo walked toward the building and soon discovered more than a dozen strange figures in the lobby.

Ice element.

Its lower body resembles an eel, while its upper body resembles a human. It is dark blue and quite large, taller than an adult.

The elemental forces' level 3 upgraded units can launch ice spikes for ranged attacks.

Great!

For ordinary people in particular, there is absolutely no way to survive.

Lin Mo released the skeleton soldiers from the military manual, divided them into groups, and went straight into battle.

In less than a minute, with zero losses, the hall was emptied.

There are many remains of victims here, which appear severely swollen, with blackened and brittle skin and liquefied tissue. The presence of insects and the accompanying stench are unpleasant.

At a glance, the number of corpses in the lobby alone exceeded forty or fifty.

They were all clearly killed by those ice elements.

Lin Mo did not recall the skeleton soldiers, but instead sent them ahead to scout the way. After all, in this confined environment, it was necessary to be constantly vigilant against potential threats.

For Lin Mo, who was very familiar with the place, it was easy for him to find the entrance to the stairwell leading to the basement.

There are also corpses here, and each one is unrecognizable.

But when they went down, they found no bodies.

Lin Mo analyzed that they had all been collected by the Minotaur and put into the maze.

As for why this monster would do this, it might be related to its habits, or like the black dragon, it might simply be a collector's obsession.

After the lord hero's physique was enhanced, he possessed extremely strong dark vision, so Lin Mo was still able to see the situation below clearly.

He found the repair shop.

The door was closed, but that didn't matter; the stacked skeletons were cleaved open with a single sword strike.

There were several corpses inside.

However, judging from their clothing, it was not Wang Zhen and Zhang Lei, nor was it Chen Jie, Gang Ge, or Xu Bing.

"In other words, without me, they never even came down."

Lin Mo foresaw this possibility. Although some people did come down and hide here later, they were not the original people.

"That's good, we can find you slowly, and then those who deserve to die can die!" Lin Mo thought. If Gang Ge and the others hadn't come down, then they wouldn't have been able to enter the maze.

I wonder if anyone has ever managed to get through the maze.

Lin Mo went out and walked deeper into the underground passage, quickly finding the entrance to the maze.

As soon as he stepped inside, he saw that familiar yet unfamiliar prompt again.

You have entered the maze.

The same prompt, but the mindset is completely different.

At this moment, Lin Mo felt no tension or fear whatsoever. He was only thinking that if someone cleared the level and found the exit, then the contents of this Pandora's Box would definitely be gone.

He doesn't need to spend hours looking for an exit; he has another way to get through.

That means taking out the guardians here.

Minotaur!

Soon, heavy footsteps and breathing sounds approached, and Lin Mo immediately walked towards the sound.

A short while later, a tall figure appeared in the passageway ahead.

"It's still a stacked minotaur!" Lin Mo glanced at it.

There is only one group, and the quantity is 6.

Too few; they couldn't even withstand a single sword strike from a skeleton soldier.

Then, a skeleton soldier, almost half the size of the minotaur, rushed over and cleaved the giant minotaur in two with a single sword strike. Lin Mo then saw the notification.

You have defeated the maze's guards!

The next second, he was automatically teleported to the exit.

The first thing I saw was that Pandora's box.

"Thankfully, no one beat me to it!" Lin Mo walked over and opened Pandora's box.

There's a saying that's very true: when you already know exactly what's going to happen, you won't have any sense of anticipation.

This sentence vividly describes Lin Mo's feelings at that moment.

[Special Treasure, Gold Bag]

[Effect: Provides 500 units of gold coins per day]

[Building Blueprints: Level 1 Dungeon]

[Required Resources: 2000 Gold, 1000 Stone, 500 Wood]

......

In another direction of the maze lies an extremely large underground world, equivalent to half the size of the migratory bird city.

Lin Mo knew about this underground world, so he didn't come out from underground at all, but continued to explore.

The "Underworld" is also a unique product of the game world merging with the real world after the cataclysm.

The structure is unbelievable, like a world from another dimension.

But the resources are plentiful.

In particular, the proportion of sulfur, gemstones, and crystals is higher than on the ground, and there are also gold mines.

In his previous life, Lin Mo learned about the underground world of Migratory Bird City half a year later, long after the "bonus" of the first wave of people who explored the place had long since disappeared.

But now, Lin Mo knows he is the first person to explore this place.

The reason is very simple: at the entrance to the underground world, there was a pile of zombies guarding it. Although there were only about fifty of them, the presence of these things meant that it was almost certain that no one had entered.

In other words, all the good stuff inside is yours!
