Chapter 61: Barren Cave Level 2

Chapter 61: Barren Cave Second Floor

The second underground floor of the Dog Cave Maze is different from the first underground floor. Walking through the downward passage gives people the illusion that there are countless stalactites at a height that is difficult to measure with the naked eye.

Unlike the first floor which is mainly infested with black dogs, the first floor occasionally has some low-level monsters that seem to have entered the wrong set, and you have to avoid the siege of black dogs.

There are many kinds of monsters on the second underground floor, including wargs, ogres, corpse hounds, fire dogs, hellhounds, and two-headed wolves. There is almost no living space for black dogs here. It is even rumored that someone has encountered a hell werewolf here.

Because this place is far away from the safe area, adventurers usually form a larger team to explore further down.

Through the maps explored in the past, it can be found that the actual area of ​​the second underground floor is even much larger than that of the first floor.

Stepping into the even darker second underground floor, Mu Hua groped for the direction by referring to the map image.

We didn't encounter any adventure groups hunting here along the way. The monsters here are much more powerful than the black dogs and more cunning, but the number of monsters is not as dense as on the first floor.

Mu Hua was saddened to discover that the monsters here were basically projections and had no corpses, which might be more convenient for other adventurers.

But the magic stones they left behind greatly reduced Mu Hua's profits after smelting them.

There are no physical crystals, no soul dust, no philosopher's stones, and even the chance of producing the Hundred Refinements Secret Stone is lower than that of the Black Hound.

"That's too much! None of these wolves descend in their true form?!" Encountering five giant wolf beasts with shoulder heights reaching 1.5 meters again, Mu Hua drew out his Night Demon Blade and rushed towards the wolf beasts under the cover of two skeleton warriors.

A wolverine is a type of wolf beast with an average physique of less than 100. At least the wolverines that Mu Hua encountered in this dog cave were of this level.

The wolf is good at running and has great endurance, but Mu Hua is now so fierce that he dares to charge forward while howling in the face of this lion-like beast. . .

The Night Demon Sword is Mu Hua's new soul weapon. It is shaped like a broadsword, with a handle of sixty centimeters and a blade of one meter. The blade is wide and thick, slightly longer than the traditional broadsword.

Well, Mu Hua still likes long things after all. Originally, he wanted to get a wild sword, but considering his own "ghosts and gods can't get close to it" sword skills, Mu Hua was afraid that the thing would be easily cut off...

"Worgs are relatively low-end mounts in hell. Although they are magical beasts, they are usually raised by demons." Monday, who was running in front of Mu Hua, bared his teeth and pounced on a wolf.

The wolf is quite large, and putting Monday next to it is like comparing a mastiff to a lion or tiger.

However, the size of the wolf did not give it much of an advantage at this time. Monday pounced on a black wolf fiercely, bit it with his fangs, and tore off large chunks of flesh from the wolf's neck. At the same time, he shook his head wildly and threw the wolf five meters away.

At this time, Mu Hua also collided head-on with a wolf.

"Bang~!" When the wolf bared its teeth, Mu Hua raised his shoulder and hit the side of the wolf.

Very good, a beautiful collision. The wolf was knocked over by Mu Hua and fell several meters away.

However, it seemed that the knife in Mu Hua's hand was only raised at this time.

During a sword fight, what should you do if your opponent is knocked away?
Mu Hua moved like a snake and split Huashan with all his strength. He turned flexibly and ran towards another nearby wolf and cut off the wolf's head with one knife.

Tactics, although it seems like a blind fight, but Mu Hua said that everything is a tactic. . .

Although the chopping skill has not yet reached the level of combat skills, it contains the basics of force and chopping trajectory.

It seems that Mu Hua's fight with the black dog during this period was quite effective. At least he no longer needs to stand still when using the Li Pi Hua Shan technique.

"Demons also ride this thing?" The wolf was killed with one blow of the sword. Monday had already bitten another wolf to death. The remaining wolf was pecked into blindness by ten ravens, and a bunch of skeleton warriors surrounded them and stabbed them.

The Night Demon Blade has no problem chopping down the wolf. The strength of the soul-specific weapon is related to Mu Hua's spiritual attributes, which means that the sharpness of the sword condensed by Mu Hua can now reach 92 points.

And his physical fitness of 200+ is already far beyond the standard compared to Mu Hua's spirit. He can now easily lift objects weighing three to four thousand kilograms.

Even if he adjusted the weight of the soul-specific weapon to the maximum strength granted by the soul, he could still easily wield the broadsword with one hand.

As mentioned earlier, sharpness is mainly aimed at the defense of armor, although any metal shield has about five or six hundred defense.

But it was a metal shield after all, just like the wave-blade sword used on Tuesday, whose sharpness was only 50.

Soul-specific weapons will be strengthened as the soul grows. These strengthenings include sharpness, toughness, and weight adjustment, which can be said to be very suitable for the weapons of the necromancer. The wolf has thick skin and flesh, but it is still a low-level monster with flesh and blood. When meditating and cultivating physical fitness, the magic power can be strengthened at the cellular level by flushing the body with magic power, which can make the body of the creature have a stronger ability to resist damage.

The wolf itself has no outstanding talent in this regard. Its thick wolf skin has good defensive capabilities, but when facing sharp weapons, it can only barely withstand sharp damage below 50.

At this moment, Mu Hua really liked the feeling of each knife cutting into the flesh, as it saved both bullets and magic power.

Well, even if he didn't do anything, Monday and the Skeleton Warriors could probably handle it, and that might save some energy.

But as a man, his physique has grown so much, how can he not find something to chop?

"Master, some of the stronger demons will also gather their subordinates. These wargs can turn those low-level demons into wolf cavalry."

"After the dire wolves evolve into wind wolves, they will have strong mobility. These dire wolves should have been released into this courtyard by a demon who raised them." Monday became interested and explained to Tuesday beside Mu Hua.

Probably the same kind of existence as the Pig-Headed Man, the boss paid for the public travel. Even if it was the Courtyard of Glory, squatting in the maze, perhaps you could absorb more emotional energy.

After all, there are quite a few humans in this kind of courtyard.

By the way, the human population in the Courtyard of Glory is larger and more stable. Maybe it would be more comfortable to find a place to hide and absorb emotional energy?
"Master, I smell the scent of hellhounds." Five wolves were killed and turned into dust in an instant. The skeleton warriors picked up the fallen items, and Zhou Yi suddenly raised his head and sniffed, then barked at Mu Hua.

As expected of creatures raised by demons, the specifications of the items dropped by these wolves are very uniform. It seems that they are more valued by the "boss" than the pig-headed men.

Five level 2 magic stones and five pieces of demon leather.

Demon leather of this quality can be used to make magic scrolls for low-level magic. This kind of thing is in great demand among humans, and it is considered a good drop among low-level monsters.

"Found it!" Mu Hua picked up the fallen ones, and the ravens flying in the air had already swooped in one direction. Monday barked and rushed out.

By the time Mu Hua and the skeleton warriors arrived, Zhou Yi had already bitten a hellhound's neck and was shaking it cruelly, biting off the hellhound's head.

Monday is still a demon after all, and all its actions are full of tyranny and cruelty.

The hellhound, which was not sure whether it wanted to launch a sneak attack on Mu Hua, died tragically in Zhou Yi's mouth. Under Mu Hua's gaze, the dead hellhound turned into dust with a "puff".

"Tsk~." Mu Hua sucked his teeth in disgust. Even though the hellhound dropped a dark red dagger, he didn't show any joy at all.

Mu Hua has wanted to melt the hellhound for a long time, or rather, he has been thinking about the hellhound's affinity for fire for a long time.

The wolf's magic stones were thrown into the furnace one by one for smelting. The first one produced an experience bead, but after five were put in, they were still experience beads.

The hellhound's magic stone was also put into smelting, and finally a bite skill stone came out, which made Mu Hua grit his teeth.

A dagger that can cause fire damage after injuring someone, with a sharpness of 100. If this thing is sold normally, it can probably fetch some demon gold coins. Wearing it on the waist, it is considered the most decent equipment dropped by Mu Hua so far.

Continue exploring. There is no clearly marked monster lair in the map of the second underground floor. The monsters here are probably wandering around.

The monsters in the Dog Cave Maze are not good at digging traps, and the reconnaissance of ten ravens can help Mu Hua avoid sneak attacks by the monsters to the greatest extent.

He killed some monsters along the way. Compared with the smelting gains on the first level, the second level made Mu Hua even less excited.

"Bang~" Jam Sweetheart opened fire, and Mu Hua killed a corpse-hunting dog with one shot.

Mu Hua didn't even have the interest to chop down this half-beast, half-corpse dog beast, but this thing actually left a corpse, so Mu Hua casually threw it into the Burning Source Furnace.

Skeleton transformation skill stone*1, soul dust*0.3.

"Hmm?" Looking at the items smelted by the corpse-hunting dog, Mu Hua raised his eyebrows and felt a little surprised.
