"Should we retreat now, Mister Glepnir?"
An old man in a long robe walked up to them and asked with a bitter expression, "What's the matter with Gleipnir?
Glepnir recognized the old man. He was one of the more prestigious new residents.
Glepnir considered and said, "If the mycelium keeps spreading, this place will be in danger, so —"
But before she could finish, Angor spoke again, "The mycelium has stopped spreading."
Using God's View, Angor noticed that the mycelium had run out of energy when it reached the fifteenth level. It only spread halfway to the fifteenth floor before it completely stopped.
"The mycelium has stopped spreading. But just to be safe, you should follow our plan and leave the area," Angor said to the newcomer. "By the way, don't take anything from Silver Coral Island with you when you leave."
The old man nodded. Following Angor's order, he stepped aside and led the new residents away from the perimeter.
Glepnir looked at Angor again. "You told them not to take anything from Silver Coral Island because you're worried about another Wonderland dungeon?"
Angor nodded. "Do you remember the entry conditions for the Rainbow Elves?"
"Rendezvous and rainbows," Glepnir said.
"That's right. According to this logic, all the fairyland dungeons must have certain conditions to trigger them. This time, the entry condition for the Wonderland dungeon is probably … mushrooms. "
When there were no mushrooms in the outside world, everything was fine.
But when someone brought mushrooms from Silver Coral Island, the Wonderland Dungeon appeared right away.
Obviously, the entry condition for this dungeon had something to do with mushrooms.
If mushrooms were the entry condition for the Wonderland dungeon, what about the other items? The new residents brought a lot of items from Silver Coral Island. If these items also triggered the entry condition of a Wonderland dungeon, wouldn't that mean another Wonderland dungeon would appear?
Angor believed that the Wonderland dungeon wasn't necessarily a bad thing. However, if the dungeon's mechanism was too bad, such as the recruitment rules of a circus, it would be troublesome.
"So … we might need to isolate our new resources to some extent before we use them," Glepnir said in a low voice.
"That won't be enough to stop the Wonderland Instance Dungeon. Take wood as an example. After it is taken out from Silver Coral Island, it might not trigger any Wonderland dungeon, but if the entry condition of a Wonderland dungeon is wooden crafts or processed products, then as long as the wood is processed to a certain extent, it might trigger the Wonderland dungeon. "
"So … it's impossible to guard against it."
"However, what you said also makes sense. In the current situation where we don't know the entry mechanism of the Wonderland dungeon, it's better to have isolation than not. Moreover, after the quarantine, regardless of whether or not the Wonderland Instance Dungeon is triggered, it is best to find someone to record it, just in case. "
Gleipnir sighed. "That's all we can do for now."
"The entry requirements for each Wonderland Instance Dungeon can be considered later. Let's see what this Wonderland Instance Dungeon is like first."
With that, Angor prepared to use his authority to enter Box Ting's perspective and see what was going on with the "Mushroom Concubine".
But before he could enter Box Ting's view, he saw a figure appear out of thin air on the sixteenth floor.
"Laplace?"
Angor immediately recognized the figure. It was Laplace, who entered the Wonderland dungeon willingly not long ago. From the outside, Laplace didn't seem to have changed much. However, she now had a dagger in her hand that was giving off a faint blood-red glow.
When Laplace appeared on the sixteenth floor, the mycelium, which had gradually quieted down, suddenly became aggressive again.
The strands turned into tiny pieces and floated toward her.
Their goal was clear — to touch Laplace. As long as they could touch Laplace, she would be teleported back into the Wonderland dungeon.
These mycelium could be transferred to the new residents one by one. But for the first time, they failed when facing Laplace.
Seeing the mycelium floating over, Laplace used the dagger in his hand to cut it off. The severed mycelium turned into specks of light and disappeared into the void.
She managed to cut off the first wave of mycelium, but there were still a lot of them around. They wouldn't be destroyed so easily.
Like bloodthirsty vines that smelled blood, the mycelium swarmed toward Laplace like a swarming tide.
While dodging, Laplace continued to clean up the mycelium. Every time she did so, she would hit the core nodes of the mycelium with a single strike.
Laplace only needed to find the initial connection point of some of the ferocious-looking mycelium nets, and she could easily turn them into specks of light.
In just a few seconds, half of the area on the sixteenth floor had been cleared.
This showed how good Laplace's observation and execution skills were.
Although Laplace had cleared more than half of the mycelium on the 16th floor, she did not intend to go up. Instead, she cleared the remaining mycelium on the 15th floor and went downstairs.
Angor was going to check out the Wonderland dungeon, but since Laplace already "killed" her way out, there was no need for that.
He just needed to wait for Laplace to inform him.
Soon, Laplace appeared at the entrance of the Bunny Building.
She didn't seem surprised to see Angor and Glepnir. She nodded at them and walked toward them.
"It's a Wonderland dungeon. I think it's a combat-type one? There's no challenge like the one in Treasure Tower. You'll start the dungeon as soon as you enter. " Laplace knew what they were concerned about, so she went straight to the point and told them what she encountered in the dungeon.
After touching the mycelium, she immediately entered the dungeon.
After entering the instance dungeon, she found herself in the cellar of a small hut. According to the description, the cellar was a "safe house" that provided temporary protection. However, it only lasted for two hours per day. After that, the "safe house" would disappear.
The description was brief. It didn't even mention the name of the dungeon, the type of the dungeon, or the quest objective.
Laplace was alone in the cellar. She didn't see anyone else, and the entrance of the cellar didn't show any sign of being opened.
One thing was for sure. Everyone who entered the Wonderland would be teleported to different places at random.
Since there was no one else around, and there were no other clues in the cellar, she left the so-called "safe house" without hesitation.
After going out, she saw a lot of strange buildings. The buildings were continuous, and she couldn't see the end of it even though she was standing at a high place.
She was more or less certain that she was in a super-large city.
However, there were no living people in the city. It was like a ruined city. Although the buildings looked new, the roads were covered with blood, and some of the buildings were covered with strange fungi.
Glowing mushrooms that were dozens of meters high, floating mushrooms that looked like jellyfish in the sky, and dust mushrooms that turned into fireflies could be seen everywhere in the city.
Laplace also saw quite a few Qiu Mo people.
However, these people weren't living people. They had become some kind of bloodthirsty "Grindstone Corpse".
They wandered in groups in the city. They were densely packed, like the moss in the city. It was very scary. They were also very aggressive. When they saw Laplace, they attacked her crazily.
These Grindstone Corpse had powerful explosive power, amazing speed, and terrifying climbing ability. If ordinary people encountered them, they would probably kill them on sight.
However, Laplace wasn't an ordinary person.
Although she didn't bring in a strong physique from the real world, her fighting will and fighting skills were perfectly inherited. At the same time, after she passed the "Helen's Dream" fairyland dungeon, she also obtained the "Helen's Imaginary Physique", a fairyland reward that increased her physique in all aspects. Facing these Grindstone Corpse was no pressure at all.
After killing the Grindstone Corpse, Laplace received another fairyland notification.
"Special dreamland" World Grinding Day "has been activated. This special dreamland is based on points. Points can be obtained by killing Grindstone Corpse and completing side missions. "
"Current points: 7 points. "
"Current target points: 100 points. Accumulating 100 points will activate the" Pointer "function. "
When she saw the name of the "World Grinding Day" dungeon, Laplace immediately understood that her guess was right. This fairyland dungeon was definitely related to her timely Mushroom Concubine.
However, she didn't know where Mushroom Concubine was. However, this wasn't important at the moment. At least through the fairyland notification, she knew the goal of this dungeon.
Next, Laplace began to clean up the Grindstone Corpse.
The points of each Grindstone Corpse wasn't fixed. It seemed to be determined based on the Grindstone Corpse's strength. Laplace had seen from 1 to 20 points.
After the Grindstone Corpse with 20 points died, it condensed a weapon that shone with a bloody light, which was the dagger in Laplace's hand.
"Fairyland Item: Blupalu Dismemberment Knife"
"A sharp blade from the Blupalu Tribe. "
"Can be stored in a separate fairyland space. "
This dagger didn't have any special abilities. However, according to the description, it came from the Blupalu Tribe. This tribe happened to be enemies with the Grindstone Tribe.
Perhaps because of this, this dagger seemed to be more effective against the Grindstone Corpse that was mutated from the Grindstone Corpse.
With the Blupalu Dismemberment Knife, Laplace was like a fish in water in the World Grinding Day. In just a few minutes, she killed a large number of Grindstone Corpse.
Her points directly exceeded 100 points.
At this moment, the fairyland notification appeared again.
"Current points: 118 points. "
"Pointer function has been unlocked. "
"Current target points: 1000 points. Accumulating 1000 points will activate a reward. "
There was no introduction to what the "one-stage reward" was, but Laplace guessed that it might be a cumulative reward similar to the small treasure pagoda. The higher the number of points, the greater the reward?
As for the "pointer" function, it was much simpler.
It wasn't a fairyland item. Instead, it was an illusory pointer that could be summoned in the World Grinding Day dungeon. The pointer could point to two places. One, to the nearest safe house. Two, to the nearest exit.
Laplace was thinking that if the pointer could point to the location of other new residents in the dungeon, she wouldn't mind saving them.
However, the pointer didn't point to people yet.
Laplace didn't care about the so-called safe houses at all. After getting the pointer, she walked to the "exit" indicated by the pointer.
The exit wasn't too far away. Laplace walked out just like that. What happened next was what Angor and the others saw.
He didn't know what Gleipnir was thinking after hearing Laplace's explanation, but he had a strange feeling.
Why did this World Grinding Day dungeon look so similar to the scenes in the hologram tablet?
Besides, killing monsters to drop treasures … this felt so familiar.
Did Wonderland's dungeon design use his will as a reference?
"Did you think of something?" Laplace noticed the strange expression on Angor's face and asked.
Angor shook his head. "No. I'm just wondering if those Grindmen are infected by a highly contagious virus. Anyone who gets hurt by them will be infected, right? "
Both Laplace and Gleipnir: "???"
"Why do you think so?" Laplace asked.
Of course it was written that way.
Angor thought so, but he couldn't say it out loud. He cleared his throat and spoke in a serious tone, "Gleipnir mentioned that the Grindmen were gentle at first. Later, they seemed to be affected by some kind of virus and became aggressive. But this kind of aggression can also be seen on living creatures. But the ones you met in the dungeon were already dead, and they were called Grindmen by the Wonderland. "
"Why would corpses attack people?"
"That's why I'm wondering if it's because of the virus. Also, there are so many Grindmen. Maybe it's because the virus is too contagious? "
"As for the infection I mentioned … it's just a guess."
Laplace considered and said, "I don't know if I'll get infected after getting hurt. I'm not hurt. "
"… I can see that."
Laplace looked perfectly fine. Even in the World of Grindmen filled with Grindmen, she could still walk around as if she was taking a stroll in her garden.
Gleipnir said, "Compared to the Grindmen, I'm more concerned about the situation inside the dungeon. Also, how is the situation of the new residents who fell in? "
Among the new residents who had entered the dungeon, there were people Gleipnir knew, so she was very concerned about their safety.
Laplace could handle the Grindmen, but the new residents might not.
Angor considered. "Maybe we can find the answers from Mushroom Concubine?"
"Mushroom Concubine? You know where she is? " Laplace was surprised. She already planned to look for Mushroom Concubine in the World of Grindmen, but she didn't find any clues.
Angor nodded. "She's on the 18th floor."
