Chapter 32 Underground Treasure
I hadn't even taken a step when I heard the Son of the Night calling me over there. "Ziri, this way, come here quickly!"
"Here we come!" I jumped up and down in the grass and came to the side of the Son of the Night. "What did you find?"
"soul!"
"Soul? Are you talking about ghosts? This is a cemetery, and it's normal for it to be haunted!"
"It's not here, it's down there, underground, about a few meters away! There are a lot of them, and they're not the souls of living things, they're high-level magic equipment!"
"You mean there's a treasure down there?" This child of the night's soul perception is as accurate as a detector. "Do you know the exact depth?"
"About 23 to 25 meters! The distance is too big to feel clearly!"
"You can't teleport in without a specific distance! It would be bad if you get stuck in the middle! But my large magic pet is not around, so digging holes is not convenient!"
"It's okay. Digging a hole is not difficult. It just takes a little effort. Do you have a shovel? I'll dig it myself!"
"Do you really want to dig?"
“What if we don’t dig?”
"Wait!" I turned around and started calling: "Rose Vine!"
A huge black rattan emerged from the ground and stood upright in front of me. The head of the rattan was slightly bent towards me, and a green crystal eye looked at me and waited for my order. I marked a spot on the ground. "Rose vine, open a passage for me from here down. It should be 24 meters deep and 1.5 meters in diameter."
The rose vine's tentacles moved slightly to show understanding, and then two tentacles stretched out to the location I pointed just now. There are many tentacles stretched out next to the two tentacles. They are entangled with each other and finally become a hemp rope, and the diameter is about one and a half meters (if you are not sure, you can find a few thicker ropes to wrap around it. You’ll know what it looks like when you get up). The huge group of tentacles looked like a drill. Just when I confirmed what the rose vine was going to do, the huge drill suddenly started spinning. Huge rocks flew out together with clods of soil, and sand immediately began to splash on the ground. The speed at which this guy dug holes was really terrifying. Now I know how rose vines usually move forward under the ground!
As the rotation speed accelerated, the "drill" began to sink downwards, leaving a huge hole in the ground, from which rocks and soil continued to fly out. In addition to not making a lot of noise, Rose Vine is simply a large boring machine!
"Your magic pet is so scary!" Night's Son looked surprised.
"It's not scary, it's full-featured! My magic pet is multi-purpose in open spaces. No matter where I am, I have a suitable magic pet."
"Hey! It's a pity that I don't have a magic pet."
"Don't worry, I will help you find a solution!" Just as he was talking, the soil at the entrance of the cave suddenly stopped splashing, and a tentacle stretched out. I quickly manipulated the phantom to help communicate. "whats the matter?"
Phantom translated Rose Vine's words: "I dug 22 meters deep and encountered a solid rock. It seems that the composition was artificially installed, and it is different from the surrounding rocks!"
I conveyed the words to the Night Child, but he could not hear the phantom's voice. Ye Zhizi immediately said: "It seems that we have arrived at the place. Let your magic pet come back, and we will go there ourselves!"
I turned around and said to the rose vine: "Come up first! Save a seat for us!" There was a vibration under the ground, and the rose vine had already climbed to the side.
"Let's go down!" After I said that, I jumped down first. The size of the hole was just right. I could use my hands to support the walls on both sides to slow down my fall. The Son of the Night teleports anyway, much faster than me.
Finally reaching the bottom of the cave, I landed smoothly on a stone slab. Just as Rose Vine reported, there are obvious traces of carvings on the stone slab, and natural stones would not be so smooth.
"What should we do?" The Son of the Night obviously has no experience in tomb robbing.
"Violent invasion!" I punched the floor with my fist. With a bang, half of my arm penetrated the ground. I could clearly feel that I had penetrated the stone slab. "Isn't it very thick!"
"You are the more brutal one!"
"But you have to admit, my method is faster!" I said as I pulled out my fist and prepared for the second blow. But before I could land my second punch, the tip of a spear suddenly stuck out from the ground.
Night Son and I looked at each other, and he nodded. I retracted my fist: "Dragon Break!" I punched it with all my strength with the skill effect, and with a bang, the whole ground collapsed together with us.
At this time, several tall skeleton soldiers in the passage below us were stabbing upwards with long spears. They were patrolling guards. When we walked here, we suddenly saw a fist hitting the roof. As a result, several skeleton soldiers immediately began to stab the mountain with their spears to attack the intruders outside. But before they could stab them a second time, the roof suddenly collapsed and they all fell under the rubble.
I propped myself up from the ground, and suddenly my hand pressed on a round object. When I picked it up, I saw that it was actually a skull. There was actually a pair of blue flames beating in the eye sockets of that head. The Son of the Night also 'touched' a head. "what is this?"
Then he remembered that the Son of the Night did not have night vision, and he could not see anything in the pitch black passage. Although I saw that he was holding a skull in his hand, he couldn't see anything except the two blue flames. "Stop 'touching' it, it's a skull!"
"I said it's round but has so many holes!"
"Need some lighting?"
"No need!" Ye Zhizi stood up on his own. "Mind's Eye!"
It seemed that he had activated some psychic skill, and he could obviously see the obstacles on the ground.
I jumped up from the ground. "Which way are we going?"
"Over there!" The Son of Night pointed forward without hesitation. "I feel a lot of soul!"
Okay, let's go there. I walked in front, and the children of the night continued to float back and forth behind me. We encountered many skeleton guards along the way, but they were all monsters below level 300 and did not pose any threat to us at all. The tunnel itself is not very long. We encountered a stone gate after walking for a while. Two level 500 skeleton guards stood on both sides, which made it slightly more difficult for us, but it only delayed us for 30 seconds.
Standing in front of the stone gate, I said to the Son of Night: "What should I do?"
"Teleport directly?"
"What if this door is very thick? Aren't you afraid of getting stuck in the wall?"
"Then what should we do? It can't be another brute force attack, right?"
I showed a weird smile and showed my fist. "Sometimes it's easier to be rough than to be gentle!" After saying that, I punched the hard door. "Click! Ah!" There was no reaction at all when I punched the door. Instead, my arm was twisted! "Ah! My arm! What kind of door is this!"
The Son of the Night leaned against the door and knocked, causing the door panel to make a crisp echo. "Did you hear that? It's made of pure steel!"
"Damn, I was fooled!" I crossed my arms and got angry.
"Hey! I told you to be gentle, but you won't listen!" The Son of the Night said while turning around and groping on the wall. "It's impossible for them to go in and out on their own without a mechanism to open the door!"
I walked over unconvinced. "Okay, you use your method, I'll use mine, let's see who opens it first!"
"Okay!" Ye Zhizi replied, while his hands kept searching.
"Fairy Knights! Come out here!" I summoned 10 Fairy Knights in one go. He pulled out a bundle of spears from the bracelet, tied them with weapons such as long whips, and handed them to the demon knight. "Break open this damn door for me!"
Scott looked at the door and said, "Master, this door seems to be made of pure steel. Hitting it like this may not be effective!"
"Then do you know another way?"
"What if we use explosives...?"
"This is underground! Aren't you afraid of being buried alive?"
"Then we can consider taking down the entire door frame!"
"Lift the door frame?"
"Yes! Although the door is made of pure steel, it is surrounded by rocks. If we hit it hard with a long gun, we can quickly open several gaps. When the gap is large enough, we can put the long gun in and destroy the entire door. Pry out the door frame as well!”
"This is a good idea, let's do it! Let's do it!"
"Yes!" Scott accepted the order and walked towards the wall. He waved to the other demon knights and followed him. The 10 demon knights thrust their spears into the wall together in an attempt to widen a gap. However, although the wall was made of rocks, it seemed that these rocks were not ordinary stones. Although the hardness was not as good as steel plates, the hardness was beyond imagination. The Demon Knights spent a long time digging at the door and finally made a 10-fist-sized gap. However, they later discovered that the back of the rock was actually a complete steel plate! This wall has a mezzanine, and inside the rock is a steel plate like the door!
"Master, look at this...?"
"Hahahaha! Isn't it possible?" The child of the night laughed at me for digging into the iron plate!
"You didn't find the trap either!" I turned around and looked at the iron gate and suddenly remembered my Holy Dragon's Fang and quickly pulled it out. I put the tip of the sword against the door, and then said to Scott: "Scott, come here and help me push it in!" Several demon knights were called by Scott to help me hold the hilt of the sword and push it in together. The tip of the sword made a sharp squeak on the metal door panel, but at the same time, the sword body entered the door panel inch by inch. Sure enough, as I expected, the penetrating power of this Holy Dragon's Fang has been greatly improved than before. As long as it is strong enough, it can penetrate any metal. Although it took a lot of effort, we just managed to insert the entire sword into the door, and now only the hilt is still outside.
I held the hilt of the sword and started pouring magic power into it, and the black sword body suddenly ignited with blue magic flames. The heavy metal door actually made a sound like a ship's whistle, shaking the entire tunnel. My hand holding the hilt of the sword clearly felt a little loose. It was this loose force that lifted me upwards, and the sword blade slowly cut through the door panel. The power of the magic flame was still very good, and the metal door had softened somewhat.
Scott also saw that the gate seemed to be afraid of the magic flames. He held the long gun with one hand and touched it with the other hand. The long gun body suddenly ignited the same magic flames as mine, but the color seemed to be different. The color should be lighter! Scott pushed the spear into the door with all his strength, but this time the spear successfully penetrated the door and sank into the door panel. After seeing Scot's success, the other demon knights all followed suit. Suddenly, there were more than n large holes in the door, but this damn door still insisted on its work and firmly blocked the road!
After about half an hour, I finally drew an irregular shape on the door. Although the Holy Dragon's Fang is extremely sharp, the steel plate is a steel plate after all, and it is good to be able to cut it. It is almost impossible to accurately cut out any shape. It's impossible! When there was finally a little connection left, I stomped on it. With a clang, the piece of discus with the entire middle part cut fell inwards. After the passage appeared, I realized that the gate was a foot thick. With such a thick steel plate, no wonder it was so strong!
"Son of the Night, stop looking! I opened it!"
"Hey! It's not fair! You opened it first!" Ye Zhizi angrily kicked the wall next to him, and the stone he kicked suddenly sank in. With a click, the iron door beside me automatically moved to one side. "I'm dizzy! I'm actually here!"
"Tch!" I turned around and walked into the room, but I was dazzled by what was inside. The whole room was filled with yellow things, with a lot of red and blue gems and other things mixed in between. "The treasure of the Jiaocheng Gate?"
The Son of the Night suddenly appeared in the room. He picked up a yellow crown with the staff in his hand. "There aren't that many treasures in the Jiaocheng Gate, right? There are at least 100,000 pieces here!"
"Don't you think it's a little strange to have so many babies?" I sighed as I looked at the whole room of babies.
"Something's not right!" The Son of the Night threw the forehead crown in his hand to me. "Feel the difference?"
I caught the forehead crown that was thrown at me, and as soon as the thing came into my hands, I immediately discovered the problem. "This thing is fake!" Gold doesn't have any characteristics, it's just a word weight. The thing in my hand is only half heavy at most. Although it must be some kind of heavy metal, it is definitely not as heavy as gold. Such a big yellow crown cannot weigh less than 3 kilograms!
When I caught the forehead crown, the Son of the Night had already picked up another object, weighed it, and then threw it back. "It's all fake!"
I threw the forehead crown aside, then walked to the treasure pile and picked up one casually. "Return to holiday, you have to admit that this thing is very well made!"
“What’s the use of good workmanship!”
"That's right!" I said, holding a long jeweled sword in my hand: "Don't you feel a lot of souls? Are they here?"
“It feels like it’s clearly inside these things, but I can’t find the specific location!”
"It seems that the owner here is very smart!"
"How to say?"
"Can't you tell? With so many fakes and real ones put together, the thief can only take a few items away at most. It is impossible for the thief to find out which ones are real and which ones are fake. If you catch it randomly, the probability of getting the real thing is less than the possibility of being hit by a meteorite!"
"Who said there's no time? Didn't we come in for a while?" Ye Zhizi asked in confusion.
I didn't say anything and just pointed behind my back with my thumb. The Son of the Night followed my hand and looked over. At the gate over there, my demon knight was blocking the endless stream of skeletons outside. Although there were many skeletons like The tide is the same, but the level of the demon knights is too high after all. Even if they are level 850 and are guarded by level 300 skeletons and use tide tactics to attack, there is no danger. But if they hadn't blocked the door, Nightchild and I would have been torn into pieces by so many skeletons. At our level, more than 300 skeletons would have killed us!
"Then what should we do now? Choose slowly?" The Son of the Night looked at me and waited for my decision.
"Nonsense! You know there are good things in it, but you won't be willing to take a few of them?"
"Then let's turn it over!" After saying this, Zizi of the Night started to turn over the items one by one. It was easier for me to just use the identification technique. As long as the equipment has attributes, all the equipment without attributes will be moved forward. Just throw it away! Although the efficiency of the two of us is very high, the workload is indeed too large. The demon knights behind have been worn down by the skeletons to the point where they can no longer withstand it, although each skeleton can only cause them a lot of damage. The damage is small, but if you fight like this for a long time, no matter how much blood you get, you can't withstand it!
"Found one!" The Son of Night suddenly took out a shining golden forehead crown.
I just glanced at it and continued to rummage, saying: "Don't stop, wait until you go out to check the properties. The key now is to get a few more pieces! My Demon Spirit Knight can't hold it anymore!"
The Son of the Night obviously agreed with my point of view. He immediately put the forehead crown into the storage space and continued to rummage. I did find a lot of things after rummaging through this huge mountain of equipment for a long time, but I didn't have time to look at them. As soon as I got the things, I just put them in the bracelet. If it weren't for the fact that these fake accessories couldn't be put into the bracelet, I would just stuff them all in together and wait until I get out to pick them out later!
Scott suddenly said: "Master! We can't stand it any longer!"
"Got it!" I put an item I just found into the bracelet, and then glanced at the mountain of equipment behind me. "Children of the Night, let's prepare to break out!"
"Here we come!" The two of us immediately joined the Demon Spirit Knight's battle group and pushed the skeletons back, and finally reached the entrance where we came in. The Demon Spirit Knight continued to hold on, and Son of the Night and I quickly left the passage. In addition to being an excellent electric drill, the rose vine can also be used as a temporary elevator.
After finally reaching the ground, I quickly recovered all the demon knights. They are the type that cannot be resurrected after death. It would be a pity to sacrifice them here!
The Son of the Night stood on the ground and pulled out a few things from the storage space and placed them on the ground. I also took out the things I found and placed them on the ground. What the Son of the Night found was a forehead crown, an arrow, and a jar of unknown liquid. I found a little more. In addition to a staff, a mirror, a magic six-pointed star medal, and a bone of an unknown creature, there was also a huge black crystal stone.
The Son of the Night said without any appraisal: "Give me the staff and the medal! Everything else belongs to you! I am a mage and I seem to only be able to use these!"
"Isn't that forehead crown also a mage's equipment?"
"Don't you see that it's a women's equipment?"
"Women's style?" I picked up the forehead crown and looked at it. After the attribute, it did say "for women". I originally wanted him to keep it for his girlfriend, but considering his special situation, I decided to keep it myself. Keep it!
"I'll give you whatever you want. I'll help you identify it first!" After identifying both the staff and the medal, I handed them to the Son of the Night. The medal was very ordinary and only strengthened the power of the spell a little bit, but the staff was just It's an exaggeration. In addition to doubling the magic's lethality, this thing also greatly increases the casting speed. Although it is not an artifact, it is still a piece of Holy Spirit equipment.
I'm not interested in appraising my own things for the time being. Anyway, I usually don't need them myself, so I'll just keep them for now!
I had just put my things away when a magic six-pointed star suddenly appeared on the ground next to us. A human figure suddenly appeared in the shining six-pointed star, followed by a flash of light, and the six-pointed star disappeared, leaving only the person in the center still standing there.
This is an NPC, to be precise, an NPC mage. Although the mage's robe covered most of his figure, the exposed head and hands were enough to indicate this guy's identity as a necromancer. The head of the mage in front of me has completely turned into a shriveled skull. Although there is still skin and flesh, the dry skin and flesh wrapped around the bones can only remind me of a mummy. The mage is holding something that may be a staff. According to me, it must be the paw of some kind of raptor. With such big feet, this raptor must not be that small! The Necromancer actually has a pair of piercing eyes in his deep-set eye sockets, and these eyes are staring at us closely at this time.
"Is it you who entered Gera's treasure room?" The Necromancer actually spoke.
I nodded. "Although I don't know if you are talking about the place I went to, but I guess it should be a place."
"That means you really went in!" At this point, he actually laughed. "I finally found the person who entered the tomb! Tell me, did you take anything out?"
"Do you want to tell us who you are before we answer the questions? And I want to know why you are looking for us!"
The necromancer raised his staff and said: "I am the necromancer Deken. I am looking for you because I need something from the treasure house!"
"If you need it, go get it yourself!" Ye Zhizi said very unhappy.
Deken laughed. "If I get in, why should I wait for you?"
"Wait!" I interrupted the child of the night's irrelevant words. "Are you Deken?" I didn't expect that the guy I was looking for actually arrived at my door! "Do you know Clark?"
"Clark?" The necromancer thought for a while. "Are you talking about Clark from the Lost City?"
"Yes, he is the one who asked me to come to you for help!" I finally found my hope!
"Ask me for help? That boy Clark actually asked you to come to me for help? Are you crazy? Do you know my nickname?" The two of us shook our heads together, and Deken laughed. "My previous nickname was Iron Rooster, and no one could get anything or help from me. You actually came to me for help, what a joke! What a big joke! Hahahaha!"
"I'm not asking you to help me!" From what this guy meant, he didn't intend to help, so I had to find another way. "I'm making a deal with you, you do me a favor and I do you a favor!"
"Deal? Hahahaha! Interesting! Tell me what do you need me to do?"
"I need you to help me fix this thing!" I handed him the helmet with the arrow still inserted.
Deken took the helmet and looked at it and said, "Do you want me to repair this gem?"
"Yes! As long as you help me repair it, I will go to the treasure house to help you get what you need."
After a moment of hesitation, Deken said: "This deal is not fair enough and I cannot accept it. The task of getting my things is too simple, and it is not enough to offset the cost of repairing the gem!"
"Then what do you want?"
"You help me go to the treasure house below to get what I want. In addition, you have to help me collect some things and materials. Some of these materials are even the main raw materials for repairing gems. Do you want to do that?"
"Okay, I agree! Tell me what to collect?"
"What needs to be collected are: Belt Rock, Giant Oak Crystal, Rock Shell Beast's Shell, and Black Dragon's Tears!"
"Halo! They are really weird things!" The black dragon's tears are easy to handle. Plague and Luck are both black dragons. It's not a problem to get two tears. The shell is also easy to handle. Clark said before that it is a very important equipment manufacturing material. I collected some anyway. But what to do with the Belt Rock and Giant Oak Crystal?
