Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?

Chapter 195: Chapter 172 Can’t leave if you can’t win... Eh, you can really win?

Mother Nest, the core of the Chimeric Worms, is the starting point of all insect-like creatures.

To say that it is the heart of Evil Nest Dungeon is no exaggeration.

The complete Evil Nest Dungeon once had five Mother Nests, but to reduce the daily expenditure of spiritual power, Ganago kept cutting back, until only this one remained.

He believed that this Mother Nest could bring him victory, and reclaim a wealth of spiritual power for him.

In his younger and more reckless days, he even fantasized about putting powerful beings like giant dragons into the Mother Nest to birth an army capable of conquering the world.

That was Ganago’s dream hidden deep in his heart, a dream that would only invite ridicule if spoken aloud.

But still, from time to time, he would reminisce, and every night as he fell asleep, he fantasized about conquering the world.

Intelligent beings always need to have some hope for the future, always need a dream to sustain them.

And now, Ganago’s dream exploded before his eyes into colorful fireworks.

Yellow represents warmth, bringing the happiness of sitting by a fire to any creature that touches it.

Red represents luck, and creatures that are tainted by it will be granted longevity.

Black represents...

If one could ignore the true nature of these fireworks, they would look quite beautiful as they burst.

Unfortunately, they cannot be ignored.

Ganago grabbed his head, his mind went blank, he tried to scream but couldn’t make a sound.

So he stood motionless, as if turned into a statue.

Mad Fire, Crimson Corruption, Abyss, curse death, all but the last one are highly contagious.

When the four colors spread through the base, Ganago could no longer afford to be stunned; he quickly exercised his authority, severing this contaminated land from his base!

Damn it, the Mother Nest was located deep within his base, and its explosion contaminated a vast area of land nearby, and severing these areas suddenly made the base feel cramped.

He was originally hiding underground, but after cutting away the rear, his hidden room was exposed, and a gust of wind made his butt feel a bit cold.

"Gedwin..."

Ganago muttered to himself; his mental state could be described in four words: completely insane.

Perhaps because he was already a bit crazy, this extra madness actually worked like a poison against poison, forcing him to calm down.

Well, on the surface, he calmed down.

So that’s how it is, Sain Dungeon’s unique feature is these unknown but highly contagious and toxic "diseases"; these things will temporarily be referred as "diseases".

Ganago’s brain was racing.

No wonder the monsters here are all common ones, goblins, Minotaurs, Trolls... these are standard configurations for every dungeon.

I was underestimating my opponent before, thinking that these common goods meant the dungeon was easily defeated, but now that I’ve calmed down, how could a dungeon that has been upgraded to third-level authority possibly be ordinary.

So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is.

He had completely figured it out.

"Monsters have never been Sain Dungeon’s strong suit; its real trump card is these unknown diseases, this is a dungeon that relies on terrain and traps for survival!"

Such dungeons often progress slowly in the collection of spiritual power, so the City Lord of Sain Dungeon is likely an "old timer" who has been stuck at second-level authority for a long time, only recently having made up his mind to exhaust his resources and upgrade to third-level authority!

Every Dungeon has its own unique system and almost no energy to develop other systems, this is an iron rule deeply ingrained in the minds of Ganago and other City Lords.

Since the specialty of Sain Dungeon is things like Mad Fire, then it must be at a disadvantage in terms of monsters!

"If that’s the case, it means he doesn’t have powerful enough monsters to attack me..."

With that thought, Ganago no longer held back. He took out his reserve of spiritual power and created another Mother Nest.

This time, he abandoned the usual strategy of spreading the Fungal Blanket and then mass producing soldiers, allowing the Mother Nest to absorb all the nutrients from the Fungal Blanket, and focus all its efforts on producing Flying Chimeric Insects.

He also spent spiritual power to create Flying Chimeric Insects he could summon, ones with sufficient strength, around Mid-tier to High Tier.

Strange, why doesn’t he use ABC to differentiate them?

The answer is aside from Sain Dungeon, other Dungeons’ Available Monsters do not have any strength level distinctions!

Corruption Lake is gradually eroding his base, but as he retracted the Fungal Blanket entirely, losing the pathway of biological spread, the surface spread of the corruption slowed down.

A large number of ordinary Flying Chimeric Insects, along with the elite Chimeric Insects created by spiritual power, and the Unity Seekers he specifically summoned to apply group buffs.

Ganago had clearly resolved to rush through Sain Dungeon before corruption completely eroded his base, and to drag out Gong Qiying who was hiding in Fran Fort!

Mother Nest production takes time; creating with spiritual power is fast, but precious spiritual power can only be used to produce elites.

Thus, he was now in a race against time, to regenerate the insect swarm before the corruption devoured the land and to wipe out Fran Fort.

At that moment, a howl came from the sky; Ganago saw a giant eagle, and there were several Unity Seekers strapped to it.

Without guessing, he knew that these Unity Seekers were coming to execute an assassination strategy.

Looking over the battlefield, Gong Qiying’s way of fighting was really cost-efficient.

Using a few Unity Seekers contaminated with "contagious diseases" blew up the opponent’s base, and now the Unity Seekers used for the assassination strategy were also free, truly taking cost-saving to the extreme.
