To obtain the book pages, you need to defeat the class guardians in the previous Laux underground maze. But in this [Hall of History], you only need to defeat ordinary monsters.
However, logically speaking, the wild boar people that Yang Yu and his team just fought against are already comparable to guardians of certain classes.
Originally Yang Yu was still thinking about how to collect all the pages.
Even if we successfully gather all the adventure groups that have conquered the Laux Labyrinth, it will cost a lot to get the pages from them.
[Hall of History] can drop book pages. As long as you find a way to collect all the book pages here and give them to the Nine-Life Cat Demon to interpret, you should be able to understand what happened in the world in the past.
Turning the pages, two identical pages came into Yang Yu's sight.
The pages dropped from monsters will not change due to the pages owned by the attacker, it is completely random.
Yang Yu was suddenly in trouble. He could not understand the words on the pages, nor the page numbers on the footer. How could he determine whether all the pages were complete
For such a crucial prop, if any page is missing, it is very likely that key information will be lost.
Yang Yu didn't want to be anxious because of the lack of key information.
It is not yet known whether this underground maze will be refreshed like most underground mazes.
If the underground maze didn't refresh for a long time, they could just refresh it and it would be done. As long as they refreshed it fast enough, refreshing a hundred or eighty diaries would not be a problem.
But if this underground maze refreshes for a long time
Brushing is time-consuming and laborious, and it is thankless.
What if some pages are extremely rare and never appear after searching for a long time, and other pages are repeated to a certain extent, and they judge that they have collected all the pages and leave directly
No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't find a good solution, so Yang Yu put the pages into the system.
Since book pages would explode in the [Hall of History], there might be a way to determine whether the pages were complete in this underground maze.
If there really isn't one, then find another way.
After letting Iyas start a group recovery, Yang Yu organized his companions to rest for a while, and then found the entrance to the next floor.
The entrance to the third floor is a huge sphere, which Yang Yu has seen in the Library of All Things and the Dragon's Conference Room.
The slight difference is that this sphere at the edge of the maze is framed by a transparent cube.
Yang Yu passed through the cube as if he was passing through the sea and entering the ocean, and ripples appeared on the surface of the cube.
Putting their hands on the sphere, ripples appeared on the sphere, and Yang Yu and the others walked into the sphere easily.
Inside the sphere, the situation was exactly the same as what Yang Yu and his team had encountered before, they were wrapped in layers of fog.
After passing through layers of fog, Yang Yu and his companions finally arrived at the third floor of the [Hall of History].
This layer has mountains and water, and the scenery is beautiful, which is in sharp contrast to the desolate second layer. The same is true here, there is no trace of any monsters.
When Yang Yu and his companions passed through the cube, rays of light suddenly condensed and formed ants the size of domestic pigs in the mountains and water.
The ants' level is as high as 120, and their attributes are much higher than those of the boar men.
The ants gather in small groups of three or five and move food peacefully across the land. There is no harmony between the ant groups and they occasionally fight over food.
These ant monsters seemed to have completely ignored Yang Yu and the others and ignored them completely.
Bai Jin had already prepared her magic and was ready to attack at any time, but Yang Yu spoke out to stop her:
"Observe and observe again. If the situation is not right, attack again."
Bai Jin nodded and put down her wand temporarily.
The ants continued to ignore Yang Yu and the others and collect food.
A group of ants somehow learned the skill of cooperation, using gifts or antennae to communicate, allowing several small groups of ants to form a large group.
A series of divisions of labor emerged within the large group, greatly improving their efficiency in collecting food and rapidly squeezing out the living space of other ants, and some fights inevitably occurred.
The ants' appearance also changed at this time. Different stripes appeared on their bodies, which made it easier for them to distinguish each other's groups to avoid accidentally hurting their companions during fights.
How can an ordinary small group defeat a large group with overwhelming numbers
The defeated group of ants joined the winner's group, and their stripes gradually changed towards the winner's group.
After seeing how powerful the large group was, some small groups of ants took the initiative to surrender, and the stripes on their bodies also changed to become like those of the large group of ants.
Gradually, the largest ant group grew larger and larger, eventually engulfing all the ant groups.
As time went on, the ants' division of labor became more and more detailed, and they became more and more efficient in collecting food.
The ants came and went, quickly gnawing at the surrounding trees, and in a short while, they had eaten up all the green around them.
As time went by, the once beautiful green land turned into a desert.
As food became increasingly scarce, the ants began to migrate. They were like migrating locusts, leaving no grass behind wherever they went.
After a period of abundant life, they will always face new hunger.
When food is scarce, no matter how hard they try, they cannot meet the needs of everyone.
A strange change occurred. The ants that had originally gathered into a large group suddenly broke up and became small groups, fighting fiercely for the remaining food.
Some ants did not want to get involved in the dispute, so they crossed the natural barriers, walked further away, and disappeared in the maze.
Some ants looked at the place where food was stored, and saw a hint of new green growing, which was not enough to fill their stomachs. They didn't know what to think, and finally they took some ants to a farther place and disappeared in the maze.
The environment became increasingly harsh, with heavy sand blowing everywhere. Countless ants died of starvation or conflict, becoming dried-up corpses.
Yang Yu could vaguely see that there were spoils of war hidden in the corpses of the ants.
The surviving ants were hungry and were forced to migrate farther away, heading towards Yang Yu and his team.
In the midst of the dust, the surviving ants seemed to have finally noticed the arrival of Yang Yu and his companions. They stretched out their fangs towards them, preparing for a long-awaited meal.
The hungry ant has a lot of gains, but is much weaker than before.
Yang Yu and his team cleared out the remaining ants without any effort, turning all the remaining ants into trophies.
"It was unexpectedly easy," Bai Jin couldn't help but sigh. "At the beginning, there were so many ants that I thought a big battle was inevitable."
"I agree." Iyas nodded. "It turned out to be easier than dealing with the wild boars above. But... it also took a bit of time."
"It may take more time to fight. They can recover their strength by eating the surrounding vegetation. Many injured ants can gradually recover their strength by eating plants and join the new fight." Yang Yu rolled his eyes at Iyas and urged her, "Don't just stand there. Go over and see if the shriveled ants' bodies will drop any equipment. We are in a hurry."
“Okay, okay!”
Iyas agreed casually and gently touched the shriveled corpse of the next ant with her hand. In an instant, the corpse of the ant turned into powder, leaving behind a few pieces of equipment, a pile of gold coins and two or three pages of books.
