When Adam opened his eyes, he found that he was not in a dark forest. This place looked more like a fairyland.
In the bright environment, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, and various beautiful sculptures and paintings can be seen everywhere. Among the flowers, a blond woman in white gauze is elegantly drawing a picture.
Upon seeing this, Adam couldn't help but walk towards the woman. What the woman drew was exactly the Blood Blade Ruohai activated by Xia Lulu.
As if sensing Adam's arrival, the woman said in a voice like fairy music: "We finally meet, I have been waiting for your arrival."
"Who are you? Where is this?"
"My name is Muse, the goddess of literature and art, and this is your spiritual world."
"Goddess? In my spiritual world? Are you a real god?" Adam felt incredible.
"Of course it's true, otherwise where did your miraculous power come from?" Muse gave Adam a charming look, and Adam felt as if his breathing slowed down.
"You are very talented in art, so you can awaken my godhead and use part of my power." The muse finished painting the last stroke, and the picture naturally floated in front of Adam.
Looking at the other party's clever composition and superb painting skills, Adam felt that what the other party said might be true.
"Then why are you in my spiritual world?" Adam's tone became respectful.
"It's a long story." There was some sadness on Muse's face, "My godhood and consciousness can still be retained in your body, and I have to thank your parents."
Adam was surprised when he heard the other party mention his parents: "Do you know about my parents?"
"I don't know much about them. I just know that they are an extremely artistic couple. I felt it the first time I met them."
"I was still imprisoned on the ninth floor at that time. They released me, but they also caused me to be killed."
"In times of crisis, I wanted to sacrifice myself to protect them, but in the end I failed to save them, but I saved you."
"Later, their teammates arrived and took you out. At the same time, my godhead was attached to you. I wanted to protect you for them in order to repay their kindness."
This short story shocked Adam. His parents had actually been to the ninth floor. Doesn't that mean they were members of the strongest adventure team, Wheel of the Blood Moon?
"No wonder Luther has always been very nice to me and never told me what happened on the ninth floor. That makes sense."
"Who were they killed by? Were they the people who imprisoned you?"
There was a trace of fear in Muse's expression. After much hesitation, she told Adam the name of the other party, Chronos, the god of time and space.
At the same time, she also explained to Adam the origin of the entire dungeon, which was actually a cage used to imprison Chronos who betrayed the gods.
The various monsters on the eight floors above are expelled by the other gods from various time and space. They protect the original world and also serve as the guards of the dungeon.
The final ninth level is the core of the blockade, and the time and space in it are all chaotic. Therefore, the adventurers of the Wheel of Blood Moon will be scattered into various time and space during the process of entering.
And all the treasures in this dungeon were just accidentally brought in from various worlds due to the distortion of time and space when Chronos was trying to break out of the prison.
But this has attracted countless adventurers to come here. As time goes by, more people will eventually be able to reach the ninth floor, which will loosen his seal and release him.
"And in order to avoid this situation, I used my last divine power to add a rule to it: anyone who enters it can only enter it once in his life."
"On the one hand, it is to reduce the looseness of the seal, and on the other hand, it is to prevent them from being bewitched by Chronos."
After she said this, Adam felt the world begin to shake.
"You just consumed a lot of my strength. It seems our conversation can only end here. Adam, in order to protect you, I hope you'd better stay away from the ninth floor."
After saying this, the muse gently touched Adam's face and slowly disappeared into the world.
Adam also woke up in reality. Looking at the somewhat familiar ceiling, Adam climbed up from the mushroom bed.
The wounds on his body have been bandaged, and although there is still some pain, it does not affect his movements.
Pushing open the door, Adam quickly found a mushroom man at work. After a brief inquiry, Adam discovered that he was actually on the third floor of the dungeon.
After asking about the location of his companions, Adam bid farewell to the mushroom man and ran towards the village chief's room in the mushroom village.
The situation along the way was similar to that of the Mushroom Village on the second floor. Soon Adam found the village chief's room with the help of other mushroom people.
After pushing open the door, Adam saw the mushroom village chief smoking a pipe and this familiar figure.
"Are you Kenobi? Why are you here too?"
When Kenobi saw Adam waking up, his cute face also showed a smile: "Dear friend, you finally woke up, Kenobi is very happy."
After saluting the village chief, Adam asked them about the whereabouts of the other two.
"The two friends are now out looking for medicine to treat you. Your wounds have not healed yet. You should be back soon. Kenobi suggests that it is best for your friends to wait here."
Hearing that the two of them were safe, Adam was relieved and asked, "Did you bring us to the third floor?"
"That's right! Friends came to Mushroom Village with wounds on their bodies. Mushroom people will naturally help real friends."
"So the village chief asked me to take you to use the convenient passage that only mushroom people can use."
Adam didn't expect that the Mushroom Man actually had this skill. He only knew that there was only one entrance on each floor to get to the next level, but the Mushroom Man's convenient passage was obviously not one of them.
Kenobi seemed to have a show-off mentality. He first asked the village chief for permission. After obtaining permission, Kenobi happily pulled Adam to the back of the village chief's room.
The back of the room is very empty, but there is a thick green pipe in the center.
Kenobi proudly introduced to Adam: "This is the greatest invention of the mushroom people. It can unblock the pipes on the second, third and fourth floors! It is the mushroom people who rely on it to unite together."
"Does that mean we can go back at any time through it?"
"Yes, the pipeline is two-way, but outsiders will only get lost in it and can only travel freely under the leadership of the mushroom man."
After the display, Kenobi took Adam and left.
"You've been sleeping for two days, and Kenobi thinks my friend needs a hearty mushroom feast to recuperate! Come on, let's go eat."
After being reminded like this, Adam felt a strong sense of hunger in his belly, so he readily agreed.
