My Summons Are All Gods-Chapter 345 - Terrifying Speculation
Chapter 345: Terrifying Speculation
“The situation was abnormal!” Brada was leading the way. After experiencing the attack of the strange fish, he recognized that the Ghost Swamp had become different, it was opposite from his previous impression of the situation.
“What do you mean?” Simmons was puzzled. The number of times he had been to this Ghost Swamp could be counted on one hand. After all, powerhouses like Divine Spear Dynasty did not have to worry about dying in the maze. As long as they did not provoke the powerful entities in the maze. Basically, nothing would happen.
Even though the Ghost Swamp was safe for trial-takers, it also meant that the opportunities or encountering treasures in it were quite rare. Even if there were, it would not be easy to get them.
Most of them were in the swamp. Surviving in the Ghost Swamp was completely different from getting the treasures and opportunities hidden in it.
After all, the rare herbs in the maze, or the unique ores or powerful skills, were not like the wild grass by the roadside that could be seen everywhere.
Most of them were found in the dangerous parts of the maze, especially the rare herbs. After all, it was not only cultivators who knew the preciousness of the herbs. 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮
The monsters that lived in the maze also knew. Some of the monsters would even bring the herbs back to their nests before they matured, quietly waiting for the herbs to mature before devouring them to increase their strength.
Some of the monsters would even build their nests beside the rare herbs, to protect the growth of the herbs.
“In the past, there wouldn’t be such a powerful monster when we reached here!” Brada’s expression was abnormally solemn. This boundless swamp did not only isolate the trial-takers from exploring, but it also isolated the senses of the creatures in the swamp and that was how the Ghost Swamp worked.
Under normal circumstances, as long as one did not enter the dangerous area of this swamp unless the trial-takers were too unlucky and happened to bump into the swamp creatures that came out to hunt for food. If they were careful, they could avoid powerful monsters.
According to Brada’s speculation, this might be related to the structure of the Ghost Swamp. The unique characteristics of this place had created the unusual creatures below the swamp.
These creatures were between life and death. Whether it was the corpse sharks they met earlier or the strange fish that they caught, the bodies of these monsters had died. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were rotting corpses, however, they were able to stay alive in a strange way.
Everything was related to the Ghost Swamp.
It was more accurate to say that they were affected by the miasma under the swamp. Brada had seen it with his own eyes that some of the trial-takers were eroded by the miasma.
Their entire body was emitting a putrid aura from the inside out. Every part of their body began to rot, and even a slight touch could tear off a large amount of flesh and blood.
However, the wounds on the flesh and blood were abnormally grayish-white. There was no blood left, just like corpses that had been dead for a long time and were beginning to rot. Just like the creatures under the swamp.
Therefore, Brada believed that the miasma under the swamp was the cause of the creatures’ state. The deeper the swamp, the thicker the miasma.
In other words, most of the powerful creatures were hidden in the depths of the swamp, where the miasma was the thickest.
However, it seemed that the creatures hiding under the swamp had all woken up. This was clearly illogical.
The mazes on the second floor of the Endless Tower were actually of similar danger levels. The reason why the Ghost Swamp was safer than the others was because of its unique characteristics. Those creatures did not rely on devouring the trial-takers to become stronger. Instead, they relied on devouring the miasma under the swamp to strengthen themselves.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, most of the creatures in the swamp were in a dormant state. Only corpse sharks or the creatures whose minds were not as strong as corpse sharks would wander around the swamp all day long.
However, those were not threatening. The only thing that could bring trouble to the trial-takers was the miasma within the swamp. As long as they did not come into contact with those things or were not affected by the miasma like Apollo, there would not be any major problems.
This was why the Ghost Swamp was the safest maze for all the trial-takers.
But now, it was clear that the Ghost Swamp had undergone some changes, causing the creatures that had been sleeping to wake up one after another. As such, this place would become the most dangerous hell for all the trial-takers.
Thinking of this, Brada recalled that Jerry was a newcomer who had just entered the maze and there was no so-called newcomer protection period. It used to have but it only lasted for a few minutes before it was gone.
It was as if someone had canceled it, but no trial-taker could do this. After all, this was a test set up by the Endless Tower.
Other than the manager, no one could alter the rules of the Endless Tower.
Based on the situation in the Maze Hall, the executor of the Endless Tower seemed to be at odds with Jerry and the others.
At this moment, a terrifying thought appeared in Brada’s mind. Could it be…
No, no, no! Just because of this, it directly violated the rules of the Endless Tower. This was too bold.
If it was discovered, regardless of the executor of the second level of the Endless Tower or the manager, they would face severe punishment.
No, it was due to this that the strange phenomenon in the Ghost Swamp could be explained. Because once they were all dead, then the actions of the executor or the manager would not be exposed.
This explained everything.
“What was on your mind? Lead the way properly. Why were you sneaking peeks at His Majesty from time to time?” Ares was displeased with Brada for a long time. It was obvious that he was full of bad ideas and his strength was not that great.
From the beginning until now, the number of times he attacked was extremely limited and he was shameless enough to form a team with them in order to survive. Ares looked down on people like this the most.
“What’s wrong?” Jerry could also tell that Brada became strange after the attack of the strange fish.
Brada took a deep breath and suppressed the speculation in his heart. After all, he was frightened by the thought. If that was the case, then all of them would probably die in this Ghost Swamp.
