Chapter 285 The Secret of the Fifth Floor(2/2)
The properties of this scapegoat are similar to those of ordinary wooden clones. It also has no attack ability and can be easily seen through. The only advantage is that it lasts longer.
Of course, he didn't expect to rely on this clone to fight. As a scapegoat, as the name suggests, this clone is mainly used to save lives.
Then Mu You took out the Thief Saint Gloves and tried them out.
Unfortunately, the situation that was imagined to be directly applicable did not happen. It seems that although the Phantom Thief and the Saint Thief are both advanced theft skins, there are clear differences in the use of equipment. Next, he still has to find a 'degradation stone' first.
You can only use this glove after downgrading it.
"Thank you both for your hard work!"
Muyou offered ten years of life to Capricorn and Libra on the forum, but neither of them accepted it because Muyou had just saved them once in Misty Mountain last time. If Muyou hadn't arrived in time, both of them would have died.
It's dangerous. I just did a small favor this time and it lasted less than twenty minutes. Of course I didn't have the nerve to accept payment.
Mu You didn't force it. After putting away the equipment on the ground, he left cell 4771 and returned to the cave he found before.
【You have arrived at the secret cave.】
【You climbed up the stone wall and entered the cave.】
[When you enter the cave, you realize that it is a dead end with no passage. A passage extending downward from the fourth floor for one person only, and it ends abruptly when it is about to approach the fifth floor.]
[You searched at the bottom of the cave and found a 'mysterious letter'*1, a pangolin pickaxe*1, and a vampire bottle*1.]
"Pangolin hand pick?"
Mu You first noticed this thing. The pangolin here should refer to the deep-sea pangolin that can dig holes in deep-sea granite.
So, could this cave be dug by the Phantom Thief himself?
What is his purpose, to go to the fifth floor? Then why wasn't he arrested directly from the beginning?
Unable to figure it out, Mu You first looked at the other two things.
[Vampire Bottle: A magical bottle specially used to hold blood. If it is close to a certain part of a creature, it can absorb blood at a rate of one drop per minute without the other party being aware of it, and can preserve the blood in the bottle to the greatest extent.
activity.]
[Mysterious letter: A letter that must be authenticated before it can be opened. Only Phantom Thief Van Lun Justin can open it. If anyone else opens the letter, it will self-destruct.]
"Open."
[Task description: It is said that the heart of Zubac, the Octopus King, was completely cut out and stored somewhere in the Sea of Evil Spirits. This is also the reason why Zubac cannot leave the Sea of Evil Spirits - it cannot leave its own heart.
Far.
If someone can find Zubac's heart, he can control the Octopus King for his own use and dominate the ocean from now on!]
[Task requirements: Go to the fifth floor of the Undersea Prison, where Octopus King's heart is missing, and use a blood-sucking magic bottle to collect a bottle of Octopus King's heart blood. If you look at the dripping direction of the heart blood, you will have a chance to find Octopus King.
Where the heart is.】
[Task reward: Become one of the core members of the black magic club and obtain a semi-finished pure black magic crystal.]
"Good guy, you're having a great time..."
The content of this letter left Mu You speechless.
This monster thief entered the underwater prison not just to steal, but with a more sophisticated purpose: they actually wanted to directly control the Octopus King!
Indeed, controlling a legendary sea monster like the Octopus King is equivalent to controlling the entire ocean!
In addition, what surprised Mu You even more was the reward for this mission: a semi-finished crystal of pure black magic!
Isn't this the crystallization of secret magic?
Although it is a semi-finished product, since it can be given away as a reward, it means that it is probably ready for use, but the functions are not yet complete.
In short, the development speed of this fan club exceeded Mu You’s imagination.
However, if the Phantom Thief is asked to go to the fifth floor of the prison to suck the heart blood of the Octopus King, does that mean that the Octopus King is now on the fifth floor?
Mu You opened it again and looked at Heli's map.
It's a pity that Beaver's map only has the first four floors of the underwater prison, and the fifth floor is not mentioned at all. It seems that even the Beaver family does not dare to enter the fifth floor.
As the only permanent cage, this fifth floor will definitely be worse than the previous cages in terms of environment and escape difficulty.
Mu You glanced at the time.
It was already past midnight. Mu You collected three things and checked in the cave again. After confirming that there was nothing else, he left the cave and returned to the old elf.
He doesn't need to continue digging holes when heading to the fifth floor, he can just take the old elf's passage directly.
[You passed through the underground cave and came to the entrance of the fifth floor. Do you want to enter immediately?]
Mu You was not in a hurry to go in. The fifth-level monster thieves and beavers did not dare to enter directly. There must be something there, and he had to be fully prepared.
Mu You brought everything he needed to bring, and after he was fully armed, he asked the four scapegoat clones to wait in front of the entrance to the fifth floor, so that if something unexpected happened after entering, he could change places with the clones at any time.
p>
After doing this, Mu You opened the exit.
[You tap on the bricks of the stone wall one by one, and an exit appears on the stone wall.]
[Step out of the passage and you arrive at the fifth floor of the underwater prison.]
[You only feel a flash of light in front of you, and when you open your eyes again, you find that the entrance behind you has disappeared without a trace. [Tomb Robbery Novels. Talk. The latest website. First, published, fastest, updated,]]<
/p>
"?"
[What appears before your eyes is a dreamy castle with bright sunshine and abundant flowers!]
"??"
[You see a large number of people wearing waiter and maid costumes walking around in the surrounding flower beds and the square in front of you. You even see many elves among the crowd, both male and female. With their outstanding appearance,
They stand out among the crowd. You can see that each of them has a polite and gentle smile on their face, and they seem to be enjoying their work from the bottom of their hearts.]
"???"
Mu You looked confused, why the text after entering the fifth level became more and more outrageous.
Let alone the disappearance of the entrance, where does the sunshine come from under the sea? Where does the garden castle come from?
What's going on with the elves? They don't seem to be suffering, nor are they imprisoned, and they seem to enjoy their life here...
In addition, there is a more important point: Muyou found that his panel cannot be used!
Not being able to use the panel means that he can't use magic or props. It also means that he can't switch clones!
All the preparations he had made before were blocked instantly after entering.
[You see an octopus soldier in front of you suddenly walking towards you.]
["New here! Work quickly. Your task today is to go fishing at the river. After catching a basket, send it to the castle and give it to Mr. Zubac as today's lunch!" The octopus gave you an order. You
Choose...】
[You chose to obey the order, and a fish basket and fishing net suddenly appeared next to you. You picked up the tools and trotted towards the river with a happy smile.]
[Obviously, it is an honor for you to work for Mr. Zubac!]
"What an honor!"
Mu You's eyes twitched. The 'choice' just now did not pop up any options for him at all. The game seemed to have made the choice on its own without his consent, and the current state of the game characters was a bit strange.
This feeling is similar to when he was possessed by a shadow ghost in Misty Mountain. The game character can no longer be controlled. All texts and options start to process automatically. He can't do any operations and can only be a spectator!
This situation is commonly known as "crash" on mobile phones and computers.
At this time, Muyou also immediately performed the most common operation in a ‘crash’ state: shut down and restart!
Mu You forced himself out of the game, killed the background, and then opened the game again.
This time the panel finally returned to normal temporarily.
[You appear on the fifth floor of the underwater prison. Behind you is the entrance to the cave you just stepped out of.]
[You suddenly feel the soles of your feet go soft, and when you look down, you realize that you are standing in a sticky secretion. This is a layer of secretion similar to soft flesh, surrounded by dark red flesh walls. As you breathe,
The slow squirming rhythm makes you feel as if you have entered the entrails of some kind of beast.]
[On the ground and the flesh wall in the distance, you can vaguely see some humanoid creatures. They have dived deeply into the flesh wall. There are umbilical cord-like substances attached to their bodies, and the other end is connected to the flesh wall.
.】
[You suddenly find that umbilical cords grow out of the flesh wall under your feet, quickly wrapping around your body like a spiritual snake.]
【You feel like you are in a trance.】
[When you open your eyes again, you appear again in the sunny garden castle...]
"So that's it..."
The text after logging in again made Mu You vaguely understand his situation, and at the same time he also understood the secret of the fifth level.
No wonder there is no drawing of the fifth floor on the beaver map. It’s not that the beavers don’t dare to come to the fifth floor, but because there is no fifth floor in the underwater prison.
The so-called fifth level is actually the body of the Octopus King.
Chapter completed!
