Monster collectors on the cross-platform

Ignoring the pair of metal parts on the ground, Huo continued his excavation, trying to find the mad researcher's laboratory.

After Huo accidentally overexerted himself once again, he made a new discovery.

That is, Huo smashed a big hole in the ground.

Looking at the newly appeared tunnel underground, Huo also looked up at the ceiling.

He threw a punch at the ceiling, and with a "bang," a large hole cracked open in the ceiling.

Looking at the result, Huo scratched his head in frustration.

This result means that the maze Huo was in was not a simple two-dimensional maze, but a more complex 3D maze.

The correct path may exist in any direction, including up, down, left, right, front, and back.

Realizing that continuing like this was a waste of time, Huo began to sit cross-legged on the ground to think of a solution.

A dozen seconds later, Huo, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly began to grow larger, and this growth seemed to continue.

"bang bang bang"

The tunnel was squeezed by the enlarged Huo and quickly began to crack.

However, the bigger Huo became, the greater the resistance he encountered.

After only reaching a height of about 50 meters, Huo felt that he could no longer continue.

The surrounding rocks were compressed to a density greater than that of steel, and even if they wanted to continue compressing them, they were powerless to do so.

After reaching its limit, Huo began to shrink, and soon returned to its normal size.

Looking at the maze, which was much emptier now, Huo couldn't help but nod.

If you move to another location and make it bigger, and repeat this process several times, you should be able to destroy the entire maze.

Seeing that this method was quite effective, Huo immediately began to break through the hard stone wall and started repeating the process he had just gone through.

As for the monsters in the maze who were crushed to death during the process of growing larger, Huo could only apologize.

It's a pity that it was mixed in with the pile of stones, and Huo still doesn't know if it was there or not, so he lost some of his collection.

Chapter 226 Laboratory

After repeatedly growing larger and smaller, the entire maze was finally almost completely destroyed by Huo.

At this moment, a laboratory with a hemispherical shape appeared in front of Huo Huan.

Finally found it. Looking at the laboratory in front of him, Huo's eyes revealed a hint of excitement.

After searching so much, I still don't know what kind of enemies might be inside.

Brushing the dust off his clothes, Huo walked towards the laboratory.

Huo smashed the laboratory door with a punch and strode inside.

The laboratory was not dark; a light, appearing from nowhere, illuminated the entire laboratory exceptionally brightly.

At the same time, the scenery inside the laboratory also came into Huo Huan's view.

Those were culture columns, each about 1 meter in diameter, and each column contained a living organism.

The smallest was an embryo the size of a finger, while the largest was a minotaur whose internal organs had been removed.

All sorts of organisms were placed in culture columns, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. No, compared to these organisms, the lambs were lucky; at least they didn't have to endure some strange experiments.

Everything displayed in the laboratory perfectly matched Horton's stereotypical image of a mad scientist.

After glancing around casually for a few moments, Huo continued walking into the laboratory.

The laboratory was very large, and even though Huo hadn't stopped walking much, it took him more than ten minutes to reach the very center of the laboratory.

Then, a man dressed in a black robe appeared in front of Huo Huan.

The man in black robes held a set of experimental data in his hand, his brows furrowed, as if he had encountered some problem. Even when Huo arrived, he didn't look up.

Seeing the black-robed man so focused, Huo Huan couldn't help but become curious and walked closer to see what was written on the man's hand.

Huo's approach clearly startled the man in black.

The man in black robes looked up at Huo Huan and then suddenly realized what was happening.

"So it's a guest. I'm so sorry for neglecting them."

Seeing the black-robed man's clear and logical manner, Huo became interested.

The trial was called "The Madman's Laboratory," but the man in front of him didn't look like a madman at all; he seemed more like a scientist obsessed with experiments.

"What are you studying?" Huo asked curiously, eager to start a fight.

"Are the guests also interested in research?"

Before Huo could answer, the man in black robes continued.

“I’m thinking that, apart from a few races, most races have physical bodies that are too weak. Is there a way to give all races a strong body?”

"Later I discovered the Machine Race. At the time, I felt that the Machine Race was the answer I was looking for, but..."

When it came to his experiments, the man in the black robe quickly began to speak at length.

From transforming living beings into cyborgs to discovering that flesh and machines are not well compatible, as flesh ages and machines deteriorate.

None of this seemed to meet his requirements.

So he began more research, incorporating elements, undead, machines, demons... all sorts of races into his experiments.

"And now, my experiment has finally taken another step forward!"

At this point, the man in the black robe threw down the experimental data in his hand, spread his arms, and looked extremely excited.

"Unfortunately, it's still a little short. If only I had a deity to study it."

After the initial excitement subsided, the man in the black robe quickly calmed down and pushed up his glasses with a regretful expression.

"However, you have a very peculiar scent, sir. Would you like to join my experiment?"

The black-robed man, now calm, noticed that Huo Huan's aura was unusual. Although he still maintained a human appearance, his inner self seemed completely different from that of a human.

After watching for a few seconds, a greedy look suddenly appeared on the black-robed man's face.

The next second, several mechanical claws suddenly flew out from various corners of the laboratory and clamped down on Huo Huan's limbs.

Huo was somewhat puzzled by the black-robed man's sudden change of attitude, but he was somewhat prepared.

With a forceful pull of both hands, he broke free from the mechanical claws.

Seeing that the mechanical grappling hook was useless, the man in black robes immediately took out a staff about the length of a forearm, and the next moment, several spells rained down on Huo Huan.

A sudden wave of sleepiness washed over him, but Huo quickly shook his head to dispel it.

It seems the other party is still preoccupied with their experiment and wants to capture Huo Huan alive.

However, these mere hypnotic spells were extremely limited in their effect on Huo.

Seeing that the hypnosis spell had failed, the man in the black robe became serious.

The next second, a jet-black, crescent-shaped spell shot towards Huo Huan.

Dimensional Slash!

The Dimensional Slash flew very fast, and in the blink of an eye it sliced ​​through Huo Huan's right arm.

The next moment, Huo Huan's right arm fell to the ground.

Before the Dimensional Slash, Huo Huan's defenses seemed to have become a joke. His battle armor and body, which could withstand the dragon's breath, were as fragile as tofu in front of the Dimensional Slash, and could not provide any resistance.

Upon seeing this spell, Huo couldn't help but feel a jolt of surprise.

Unexpectedly, this unassuming man in black robes was able to casually unleash a forbidden spell.

Although forbidden spells can be used even by those who are not legendary, they are still extremely rare, and the black-robed man in front of him is clearly one of those rare individuals.

Knowing the opponent's strength, Huo still dared not be careless. He manipulated his severed arm to turn into blood and then spewed a breath of dragon's breath at the black-robed man.

The man in black robes clearly hadn't expected that Huo, who looked like a warrior, would actually breathe dragon's breath.

He stopped his dimensional slash and vanished from his spot in a flash.

After dodging Huo Huan's dragon breath, the man in black robes had an idea.

The next second, the floor of the laboratory opened, and dozens of steel golems emerged from underground, including a diamond golem that shimmered with light.

The steel golems weren't very strong, and neither were the diamond golems. To Huo, these golems were just larger punching bags, the only difference being how tough they were to beat.

But the situation is different now; there is now a black-robed mage who can cast forbidden spells.

With tanks in front and mages behind, the challenge is undoubtedly several levels more difficult.

With a single punch, Huo shattered the head of a steel golem, then kicked a diamond golem away before picking up the thigh that had been severed by the Dimensional Slash.

Compared to the steel golem, the diamond golem was undoubtedly much tougher. Most of Huo's attacks hit the diamond golem, only managing to repel it.

Furthermore, given the possibility that the man in black robes might have launched a sneak attack, the situation reached a stalemate.

Fortunately, Huo Huan had a considerable amount of life energy reserves; otherwise, if the black-robed man had continued to beat him like this, Huo Huan would have been reduced to a human stump long ago.

Chapter 227 Harvest

The situation remained deadlocked for a while, but fortunately the overall trend was still shifting in Huo's favor.

Although the man in black robes was as slippery as an eel, these puppets had no way to evade Huo Huan's attacks.

"Bang bang bang!" Despite enduring the black-robed man's magic, Huo smashed all the puppets to pieces with his fists, except for the diamond puppet.

This diamond golem is far too hard; Huo cannot do anything to it in a short time.

However, without the steel golems getting in the way, Huo's life became much easier.

The black-robed mage frowned as he used Dimensional Slash to sever Huo Huan's head once more.

Huo Huan's regenerative ability is too strong, and his defense is also very high. Except for Dimensional Slash, spells are almost like tickling Huo Huan.

Although Dimensional Slash is considered to have low mana consumption among forbidden spells, it is still a forbidden spell after all. The continuous release of it began to deplete the black-robed mage's mana.

Now it depends on whether the black-robed mage's magic power runs out first, or Huo Huan's life energy runs out first.
