The level 15 dungeon 【General Qingsha's Lair】 is not something Zhou Yuan can conquer now.
But this copy is still full of value to him.
He swung the hatchet and roughly broke many pearls, threw the cloth tied with his hair to the ground, turned around and walked into the copy portal.
When he escaped from the cold environment and returned to Qingsha River again, the cool river water was as comfortable as a soft hot spring.
He put on his clothes and went back home to get a large clay pot with a lid and a set of thick clothes.
Zhao Dahuang had not returned yet, and the two villagers were sleeping soundly and did not notice Zhou Yuan's actions.
After returning to the stone arch bridge again, he stuffed the two sets of clothes into the pottery jar and re-entered the copy with a hatchet in his mouth.
The moment he entered the dungeon, he opened the pottery jar, put on both sets of clothes, and then observed the changes in the dungeon environment.
The intact coral floor, the unbroken pearls, and the disappeared headscarf all prove that this copy has the ability to refresh.
Moreover, this refresh ability will not only refresh the things within the copy, but also the remaining external objects.
“It won’t refresh when people are around, but will automatically refresh when they leave.
If someone is stationed in the dungeon for a long time, could it become a secret base for storing supplies?
"Far away from the normal world, in an unknown space, with a self-contained internal environment, it's a bit like the legendary paradise.
Looking at it from another perspective, if I were a native of this world, I would definitely regard this mysterious space as a secret realm of blessings between heaven and earth."
"No wonder Ergou's family calls this place the Dragon Palace. Hidden at the bottom of the river, guarded by shrimp soldiers, and with its own space, it's the legendary Dragon Palace, isn't it?"
Zhou Yuan stroked the coral floor, which felt incredibly real, and thought of the ancient Chinese text "Peach Blossom Spring" that he had learned as a child.
After removing the dangerous monsters in the copy, the copy can indeed be called a paradise for ordinary people and a blessed land for seekers of truth.
"Qingsha River is just one of the many tributaries of Qu River, and it's a small and unknown tributary at that.
There are copies of places like this, so there must be quite a few copies in this world."
Zhou Yuan played a lot of video games when he was on Blue Star.
He knew that if all prompts were removed from the copy and it was thrown into the vast game world, it would be difficult to dig it out.
But as long as the number increases, there will always be someone who makes an accidental discovery.
Just like now, Cui Niang's ex-husband discovered the 【General Qingsha's Nest】, he told Cui Niang, and Cui Niang told Ergou's family.
This means that there are some people or forces who may pass down the secret of the copy from generation to generation and regard it as their own secret realm of blessings.
"The Great Wei Kingdom, the family that inherited the copy, the village elders said that they would never leave their territory and would never die.
This situation is a bit like normal human society integrated into the game world."
Zhou Yuan shook his head and threw away his narrow guess. He knew too little about this world.
Analyzing the state of society based on just one copy is neither reasonable nor reliable.
However, seemingly plausible conjectures are not useless. At least Zhou Yuan can rely on his own conjectures to extend a certain understanding of the environment.
"According to normal game logic, the IQ logic of wild monsters and dungeon monsters should be similar.
The performance of these six cold wave shrimp soldiers is indeed very similar to game monsters with aggro range.
If we don't enter their attack range and just provoke them with sound, will that trigger their attack decision?"
Zhou Yuan leaned against the portal, hitting the coral ground with a hatchet and calling out loudly.
"Hey, here, here..."
The six cold wave shrimp soldiers didn't even look at him, like six lifelike statues.
This phenomenon is too confusing, and locals are likely to let their guard down and be stabbed by the cold wave shrimp soldiers when they enter the attack range.
Faced with the rigid and stiff cold wave shrimp soldiers, Zhou Yuan instantly thought of digging holes, burning them, and poisoning them.
But the coral surface is surprisingly hard, and burning and poisoning also require verification of the cold wave shrimp soldiers' judgment logic and defense strength.
That is, Zhou Yuan lights the firewood and uses the smoke to affect the cold wave shrimp soldiers to see whether they will attack the fire source and the arsonist, and whether the flames can reduce their health bars.
【General Qingsha's Nest】 is a good experimental field. Zhou Yuan will not leave unless he obtains some information.
So he returned to the riverbank first, filled a large clay pot with branches and leaves and returned to the copy.
He took twenty steps forward, took out his flint and steel, ignited the grass and started a fire. When the flames were strong, he threw in a few thick, wet branches.
He grabbed the front of his clothes with both hands and fanned the smoke continuously, trying to make it float towards the direction of the cold wave shrimp soldiers.
Seeing the smoke drifting towards a cold wave shrimp soldier, Zhou Yuan immediately retreated back to the vicinity of the portal.
After a while, the cold wave shrimp soldiers smelled the smoke and determined that they were under attack. They immediately left the standby state, ran towards the fire, and broke it with a fork.
It stepped over the burning branches and continued to walk towards Zhou Yuan. The burning branches were crushed to pieces by it. The other five cold wave shrimp soldiers also entered the attack state.
Zhou Yuan stepped back and touched the portal, leaving the dungeon.
After he returned to the river bank again, he had to admit that the cold wave shrimp soldiers were not really rigid and inflexible. They were qualified killing machines.
As long as they determine that they are under attack, even if the attack force is extremely weak and cannot cause any damage to them, they will enter the offensive state.
"The method of poisoning and burning is relatively feasible, provided that someone can withstand the attacks of the cold wave shrimp soldiers and allow the fire poison to gradually take effect.
Living people can block instance refreshes, but can living animals do the same?"
Zhou Yuan dived into the water and soon dug out a palm-sized freshwater turtle. He tied up its shell with a straw rope to ensure that its limbs could not be extended.
Then he entered the dungeon again with the turtle, and the burning branches were indeed refreshed.
The smooth coral floor and the motionless cold wave shrimp soldiers make this place look extremely clean.
"Turtle, this was a great experiment. I will remember you."
After Zhou Yuan placed the turtle on the ground, he skillfully exited and then entered again.
Then a magical thing happened. The turtle disappeared, as if the copy did not recognize the turtle as a player-like creature and refreshed it directly.
"Turtles can't block dungeon refreshes, and chickens, ducks, fish, and dogs probably can't either, let alone insects.
It seems my cockroach poisoning method is not working."
The game-like perspective, coupled with the copy prompts, put Zhou Yuan into a state of surpassing the level of the copy.
But it turns out that completely opportunistic methods cannot threaten the copy monsters.
It is also difficult for the natives of this world to use strategies to defeat powerful dungeon monsters.
"Level 15 dungeons are too much for me now, I need lower-level dungeons or lower-level monsters.
However, the lower the level of the copy, the easier it is to break into, and the greater its value to the locals.
It would be difficult to inquire about or explore such a low-level dungeon."
“The muddy river water and the green algae can block my vision.
As a result, I was unable to immediately discover the abnormality of Qingsha River, let alone the various mountains, forests and buildings. "
"No, architecture, irrational architecture.
Manors in the mountains, boat forts on the water, even temples and Taoist temples, forts that are not located in advantageous terrain, etc.
Any unreasonable building could be built to hide a dungeon."
