The First Level of Hell, the Eye of the Abyss.
This frontier fortress built by Eve herself and used by the Black Dragon King Merril to suppress had changed drastically since it was first built more than ten years ago.
The former fortress had been expanded three times. There were three levels inside and three outside. It looked like a black demon's palace.
Inside the fortress was the Hell's Gate, the teleportation point to the World of Segers. Outside the fortress was a large main city.
It was a city built by the players. Seven years ago, it was officially certified as one of the official main cities. It was an important stronghold for the players on the First Level of Hell called Mordor.
It was full of bad taste.
After it became a main city, it became a favorite place for players to farm maps.
The First Level of Hell had been officially integrated by the World Tree and became part of the root world. There would not be any wild monsters from the Abyss.
Even for Legendary Bosses, their distribution points were often accompanied by system warnings. It was quite safe for the players.
In addition, there were many Abyssal Mother Nests here. The low-level demons could be said to be inexhaustible and could be farmed until the end of time …
Of course, the most important thing was the Demon God's Labyrinth.
After the new expansion pack, the Demon God's Labyrinth had been completely moved to the First Level of Hell. As time passed and the number of players increased, the area of the Labyrinth grew larger.
As the only map that could consistently spawn Profession Change slots, it was naturally sought after by countless players.
In addition, the entrance to the Demon God's Labyrinth was located in Mordor City. The development of this city, which was located in the Abyss and had ridiculously high prices, was also very important.
At this moment, at the entrance of the Labyrinth, a veteran player was explaining to a few newbies in his team.
"Everyone, when you enter the Labyrinth later, don't run around. The demons in the Labyrinth are different from those outside. They are very cunning and very organized. Not only do they know how to fight guerrilla warfare, but they also know how to fish. They are as difficult to deal with as us players."
Hearing this, the newbies were surprised.
"Do demons have tactics too? Didn't they say that when they fought, they would only charge forward like a swarm of bees? "
"Damn … that's old history. Those silly demons are the ones outside the Labyrinth. It's different inside the Labyrinth. Over there, the stupid ones have long become experience points. Most of the ones left are the smart ones."
The old player sighed.
"By the way, bring more delicious food. Don't just bring dry food. You can also bring some high-end wine, elven flower tea, fruits, pastries, delicious meat sauce, skewers, and so on."
He added.
A rookie was immediately amused.
"Pfft … Ah, are we going to farm monsters or have a picnic?"
"Kill monsters! But with these things, they could save his life at a critical moment! Remember, the better the food you bring, the easier it is for you to escape unscathed when you encounter danger! "
The old player widened his eyes.
"But … why can bringing food save my life? Do you think we can offer it to the demons and ask them to spare our lives? "
A player who was obviously participating in the Demon God's Maze for the first time asked.
The experienced players in the team fell silent.
Seeing the seniors' reactions, the newcomer was stunned and had a strange look on his face.
"It can't be … It can't be true, right? Release them after giving them food? The demons in the Demon God's Maze are also so loyal to their contracts? "
The old player sighed.
"Just think of it as a tacit understanding between us players and them after a long battle."
"Then … what do I do if I don't have money to buy delicious food? My pitiful contribution points have all been spent on equipment. The same goes for the gold pounds. They've all been exchanged for contribution points. I'm almost eating dirt on a daily basis … "
"Then buy some melons. They're cost-effective. If you encounter a demon you can't beat, you can throw them away. Quickly run after throwing them away. The demons probably won't chase after you. Oh, by the way, they sell them at the entrance of the maze. Two melons for one silver coin. "
"Good fellow, melons are still okay … No! Two melons for one silver coin isn't cheap, okay?! You can buy a basket of them in the Elven Forest at this price! "
"Where do you think this is? The mineral water at the top of Mount Tai is already ten bucks. The red braised pork on the Bluestar train is several times more expensive! This is the first level of Hell, not the Elven Forest! "
"That makes sense. I actually have nothing to say … Eh, that's not right! There are storage equipment and teleportation portals in the game. It doesn't seem to cost much to transport things! It's not like we're mountain laborers! "
"You didn't spend any money when you teleported here?"
"Uh … No."
"F * ck … I forgot that you're from the Mengmeng Committee. The guild includes teleportation fees … Damn it, the teleportation fees are not cheap."
"Tsk … If that's the case, won't I be able to take advantage of the guild in the future? Helping people transport things back and forth through the teleportation portals to earn some extra money? "
"In your dreams. The Mengmeng Committee also has a number of free teleportation portals every day."
The players chatted as they walked. The topic gradually deviated from the strategy of the Demon God Maze to some star system.
However, although the new players were complaining crazily, they still obediently followed the advice of the old players and prepared all kinds of delicious food.
At first glance, it looked like they were not going to farm monsters, but to go on an excursion.
After everything was prepared, the group passed through the door of the maze in Mordor City and entered the largest and most popular dungeon in the Elven Kingdom — the Demon God Maze.
After entering the maze, the old players led the team and continued to teach the new players about the maze.
Hmm … The demons on the first level were relatively weak. With his strength as an upper Silver, he could easily defeat them. There was no need to worry about his safety.
The new players also pricked up their ears and listened attentively to the old players' introduction.
Similar to the earlier versions of the Demon God Maze, the Demon God Maze in the new expansion pack was still randomly teleported. Only players in the same team would be teleported together.
The maze was huge, extremely huge. There was not only one level, but there were more than ten levels. Each level went deep into the ground.
It was said that the scale of the entire maze was still expanding. As the number of players increased and the game was updated, the area of the maze would increase every time. Every time the area expanded, there would be at least one more boss in the maze.
Just like before, the boss palaces in the maze were summoned and opened by randomly dropping keys. There was no requirement to kill the boss of the previous level in order to enter the next level of the maze.
However, if one wanted to obtain a higher level of profession change, they would have to go deeper into the maze. This was because the deeper they went, the stronger the boss would be.
At the same time, the deeper they went, the lower the probability of encountering a boss key. The normal demons and abyssal creatures would also be stronger. Sometimes, they would even encounter a small abyssal hive.
"It's the easiest to find a key on the first level of the maze. However, the boss will only drop a lower Silver class change slot. The probability is still very low. This level is suitable for low-level monsters.
"As we go deeper, although it's not easy to encounter a boss, the probability of dropping all kinds of good stuff will increase.
"Especially the class change slots! For the first class change, the probability of entering the third level is the highest. At the same time, starting from the fourth level, there will be mid-Silver-level class change slots. Correspondingly, the probability of dropping a lower Silver class change slot will decrease.
"At the sixth level, the probability of dropping a mid-Silver-level class change slot will be the highest. Starting from the seventh level, there will be high-Silver-level class change slots. The probability of dropping a mid-Silver-level class change slot will decrease, and so on.
"This time, our target is the fourth level. Although the probability of dropping a lower Silver class change slot is not as high as the third level, there's a chance of dropping a mid-Silver-level class change slot. Overall, it's more cost-effective …
"If you're lucky, you can also get your mid-Silver-level class change slot …"
The leading veteran player happily told the newbies what he knew.
"The fourth level? We're all Black Iron … Will we be able to defeat it? "
A newbie asked worriedly.
After hearing his words, the veteran players in the team looked at each other and laughed.
"Hehe, don't be afraid. We're all Silver upper-level. As long as we don't step on any traps, we can easily defeat it!"
"Traps?"
"Yes, if you see something like a treasure chest, don't open it rashly. It could be a devil's trap!"
"Understood!"
The group of people walked in the gloomy and terrifying underground maze. As they walked, they explored and looked for the entrance to the next level of the maze while chatting.
"Then, do you know what the bosses on the fourth level are? When I checked the information about the Demon God's Maze on the official website, why didn't the listed bosses indicate the level of the maze? "
Another newbie asked curiously.
The veteran player laughed.
"That's right. That's because any boss can appear on different levels of the maze. It's just that they're more powerful when they appear on the deeper levels."
"Is there any pattern?"
"I can't say that there isn't any, but it's useless. According to my observations, a boss that stays on the top level for a long time will run to the bottom level. But it's not absolute. Fallen Angel Lulia and Queen of Pain Alisa are known as the nail on the first level. We meet them almost every time.
I almost got sick of it, "another veteran player complained.
"Then … Who's the strongest boss?"
Someone asked curiously.
The leading veteran player thought for a moment and said, "Not necessarily.
But … there's a very small probability of encountering the Maze Master, Azazel, on a different level of the maze. He's invincible on the same level and very difficult to defeat. The probability of passing is extremely low, but once you pass, you'll get a huge reward! "
"Of course, with our strength, if we encounter him on the fourth level, we'll just die. We can't win."
After hearing his words, the newbies widened their eyes.
"Is Azazel that strong? Isn't Samael also in the maze? "
"Damn, I don't know. Anyway, in the official setting, the Maze Master, Azazel, is the strongest. Samael is only fit to carry his shoes.
But … we haven't farmed for a long time. I don't know if there have been any changes. "
The veteran player shook his head.
The group chatted as they walked. Soon, they found the entrance to the lower levels.
There was more than one entrance to different levels of the maze, so it was not difficult to find them. However, they were usually guarded by monsters.
Of course, to them, these monsters on the lower levels were not a threat. They could pass through easily.
After entering the fourth level of the maze, the veteran players gradually quieted down. They began to concentrate on exploring the maze.
There was no other reason. From here on out, the combat power of the demons increased significantly.
The group was lucky. Not long after entering the fourth level of the maze, they took down a small gathering point of the demons. A rainbow-colored boss palace key was dropped.
This was the first time they encountered Haganit the Devourer, a demigod-level Abyss Mythical being.
Of course, his strength had been suppressed.
The recommended level for the fourth level was Upper Iron to Lower Silver.
With a few Upper Silver players holding the line, the group's battle went smoothly. In less than ten minutes, the Abyss Mythical being turned into a statue again with a weak wail. A large number of rewards were dropped, including a mid-Silver-level profession change slot!
It was a good start!
The first battle went smoothly. The newbies were also excited.
Under the lead of the veteran players, they continued to go deeper. In less than half an hour, they found another boss key.
This time, they encountered the One-Horned Duke, Andria.
The second boss was slightly more difficult to defeat than the first. However, the group still passed through without any injuries. It only took them 13 minutes.
This time, they were lucky. A low-Silver-level profession change slot was dropped.
The players were even more excited.
"Hurry up! I feel like we can collect both keys today! "
Some newbies were eager to try. They were excited.
"Hahahaha, you guys are in luck. The probability of triggering the boss key is much higher than when we were."
The veteran player laughed.
The group turned a corner. A dazzling light came into their sight. They saw a rainbow-colored chest in the corner of the maze.
"Treasure chest! It's a treasure chest! "
The newbies' eyes lit up.
"Don't go there! Have you forgotten what I said before?! "
The veteran player who led the group shouted, stopping the newbies who were about to go forward.
The restless maze newbies stopped and looked at the veteran player. His gaze was solemn.
"It's impossible for rainbow-colored treasure chests to appear in the maze below the tenth floor! It must be a trap! Once it's opened, it will definitely attract a wave of demons! "
Hearing his words, the newbies' expressions changed slightly. They all showed a hint of fear.
At this moment, suddenly, a surprised voice came from the back of the group.
"Huh? There are dragon eggs in the Demon God Maze?! "
Dragon eggs?
The veteran player who led the group was slightly stunned.
He turned around and saw the player at the back squatting in the corner. He was excitedly looking at an egg the size of a wooden barrel.
The obvious pattern on the egg was not a dragon pattern that had been exposed online. What else could it be?
This … was really a dragon egg!
The veteran player widened his eyes.
Wait …
Was there this egg just now?
As if he realized something, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The next moment, his expression changed, and he quickly shouted.
"Don't touch it!"
However, it was too late.
The player in front of the dragon egg had already picked it up.
The next second, the dragon egg suddenly exploded and turned into a cloud of red smoke, covering the group.
Everyone only felt that the strength in their bodies began to dissipate quickly.
"Not good! It's poison! "
The veteran player's expression changed drastically.
Then, before they could do anything, a dense crowd of demons of all sizes jumped out from the depths of the maze and surrounded them.
After a while, the group was drowned by the flood of demons.
At the same time, in the deepest part of the Demon God Maze.
Azazel looked at the image in the crystal ball while leisurely swinging his big black legs. Behind him, there was a young and beautiful succubus massaging his shoulders and back.
"Hmph, how dare the veteran bring the newbies to explore the map. The food they bring is nothing new. A bunch of insincere and lazy guys … This is the result of cheating!"
He sneered and took a bite of the melon in his hand.
