Chapter 320 319 Gold and Dead Bones in the Death Zone of Xiko
Chapter 320 319. The gold and dead bones of Xiko’s Death Zone
Happy Stick’s treasure hunt plan has been around for a long time.
As early as when he dug out the first gang vault from the sewers of Scarlet Castle and obtained information about the Blood Eagle arsenal, he had been trying to activate this secret mission from Lord Murphy.
However, the prerequisite for this mission is that the internal reputation of the Blood Vulture Clan must reach the title of "Family Knight", and this reputation level was not opened until the recent Wolfsbane invasion, so it is not surprising that Brother Bang is slow to act. In fact,
It was the game progress stuck here that made him feel powerless.
This time it was a good opportunity to follow the Hussars instructor to the Earl of Xiko for training. In addition, he and Little Rich spent tens of thousands of gold coins to obtain the drawings and information of the underground vault of Xiko City from the little Earl of Sharon.
I am just waiting for this wave of excavations to be completed and I will become rich overnight.
It is said that Brother Bang was funded by Brother Xiaofu to set up a company, but so far there has been almost no output. Although Brother Xiaofu did not rush him, Brother Bang is under a lot of pressure. He is a guy who has very high demands on himself.
I think I have to make some achievements before I can make a difference.
However, Happy Stick does not know the "inside story" of Xiko City, and Murphy and Sharon have not told the players about the undead army hidden under the ruins. So far, this is still a "backstory" that has not yet been opened.
The lack of intelligence cast a shadow over Happy Stick's treasure hunt from the beginning.
The most terrifying thing is that Happy Bang himself didn’t know this! He was happily waiting to make a fortune. So when they arrived outside Xiko City the next afternoon, Brother Bang and his subordinates were immersed in
In the joy of being "suddenly rich", he has almost no idea of the real threats ahead.
The "Big Bird Roaming Group" who had made an appointment with them to develop this secret treasure had already set up camp nearby and was waiting.
The way Mew Miao's team travels is very fashionable.
Although they are not vampires and cannot fly, they have a dedicated "Gargoyle Civil Airliner" that is big enough to carry everyone in the team for a quick trip. Therefore, Mew Meow just set off from Scarlet Castle this morning, but it is better than Happy
Arrive at your destination earlier.
After Instructor Wallander announced the disbandment of free activities, Brother Bang immediately took his people and ran to join Brother Mingmiao. When they arrived at the camp in a cavalry formation in a decent manner, Brother Mingmiao's special "
"Sky Eye" Yan Sang has just completed a psychic reconnaissance of the ruins of the city ahead.
The expression of this man with a stubble is not very pretty.
"The situation there is very quiet, which is in line with the environment of an abandoned city that has been abandoned for two years. It even reminds me of some scenes in the post-apocalyptic wasteland."
When Brother Bang dismounted and came over holding the cavalry helmet, Yan Sang rubbed her chin and said to Brother Mingmiao and Brother Bang:
"Most of the buildings in Xiko City are still intact, but the city defense part was completely damaged, and the city gates were shattered to pieces. Using my reconnaissance skills, I could see that many parts of the city were filled with gray-green smoke.
That should be the remnants of the psychic plague, I've marked it on the map.
Those areas are absolutely off limits to you.
I consulted my mentor, who had worked in the Ring Tower before, and he warned me that even Silver-level warriors were not immune to the terrible effects of the psychic plague, and we would die within five minutes of setting foot inside.
But the good news is that the road to the Bank of Xico City has not been blocked by the plague. I have just planned a safe road that will allow you to rush in as quickly as possible.
But I can't detect what's going on inside the bank. I haven't learned the advanced technique of using the echo of psychic vibrations to detect the situation inside the building, so you can only adapt to the situation after you enter.
And the place you are going to is underground, my advice is to be careful, if something happens, it will be difficult to escape."
"What about the enemies in the city?"
Brother Bang asked very carefully:
"Did you notice anything that warranted significant attention?"
"Yes! There will be things similar to ghouls wandering around the plague area in the city. There are a lot of them, but they are all wandering blindly, so it shouldn't be a problem if you don't mess with them. There are also things like rotten birds in the sky of the city.
Strange flying creatures flew by in groups, which was an air defense that even the vampire's wings could hardly break through.
But the good news is that the psychic environment here is still very stable so far, so you don’t have to worry about the appearance of some monsters that don’t match the strength of this place.”
Yan Sang explained very professionally:
"According to the explanation of my mentor Helu, monsters with outrageous values will not be born in places with a stable psychic environment, unless it is a large-scale camouflage barrier itself. However, the chance of that possibility is too small.
, Xiko City was destroyed, and this is not a strategic location.
But again, my current understanding of psychic powers is only at the apprenticeship stage, so I may miss some details.
So the advice I can give is, don’t go all in!
Leave some people outside to take care of you, so that if something happens inside, the entire army will not be wiped out."
"This is natural, I will leave some people behind."
Brother Bang nodded and took the city map that Yan Sang handed over with planned safe passages and dangerous areas. He opened it and took a look and was very satisfied with the results of Yan Sang's work. He thought that he might also give it to his team.
Professional reconnaissance psychics have been trained. These guys can overlook the nearby situation for several kilometers from the sky. They are simply walking "humanoid radars".
"Yansang, and Brother Qu, you two stay outside the city."
Brother Miao Miao also made arrangements.
He handed the green gargoyle heart to Brother Qu and warned:
"After we enter, Yan Sang keeps observing the inside of the city. Once a problem is discovered, you two will immediately ride this thing to rescue us."
"no problem!"
Brother Qu made an OK gesture.
This guy is becoming more and more like a sharpshooter now. He also found himself a naughty cowboy hat to cover half of his face. Just like Grandma Marian’s classic dress, he used a face towel to cover his mouth and a cowhide bullet belt.
There are two large-caliber revolvers strapped to the left and right sides in front of him.
The main weapon is a precisely calibrated witch-hunting gun, and a trench gun ordered from Sister Marian to imitate the "Hammer Guard".
It can be said that he is armed to the teeth.
As one of the top teams in the game, Mew Miao understands the importance of sharpening the sword before chopping wood, and has always spared no expense in arming his brothers.
This can be seen from the "unbreakable" heavy shield and the "invincible" warhammer carried by Sanwu Dou. This is currently the most top-notch equipment that players can get in the game, and they don't even need to be used at the gold level.
The magic weapon you exchanged.
Of course, this is also the biggest reason why Brother Bang asked Brother Miao Miao to cooperate in treasure hunting. He must find players who can turn the tide at critical moments. There is no doubt that Brother Miao Miao's Big Bird Group is such a player.
These guys are expensive, but expensive for a reason.
"Let's go into the city!"
Happy Stick gave the order.
Thirty of his carefully selected subordinates and the five-man group of Brother Ming Miao got on their horses and galloped towards the ruins of Xiko City, which revealed an uneasy and gloomy look in the pale afternoon sun.
"To be honest, I'm a little uneasy."
Brother Qu watched this large group of "Vault Hunters" rush towards the land of wealth and death. He rubbed his brows and said to Yan Sang:
"The closer I get to Xiko City, the more uneasy I feel. There seems to be a voice reminding me not to step in. As you know, we are all believers in Avalon now. Father Eugene has repeatedly warned us that Avalon
Longshen will give warnings when his followers are in danger."
"Then what else can you do?"
Yan Sang rolled his eyes, took out his beloved magic weapon and clasped it in his hand, and said:
"These guys are all blinded by gold, and now they can't listen to advice at all. Besides, everyone lives for three days. If something goes wrong, it's just a matter of enduring it for three days.
Stop talking about this, how about the flight attendant I introduced to you before? Didn’t you say that your family is urging you to go on a blind date? "
Hearing this question, Brother Qu rolled his eyes helplessly.
He complained in a low voice:
"The stewardess is very good, very good in every aspect, even a little too good, but not very good by the standards of a blind date."
"Why?"
Yan Sang asked curiously, and Qu Ge shrugged and whispered:
"Didn't I tell you the reason?
Life is great.
It’s so good that I’m a little afraid to continue. You see, I’m a normal man, right? I don’t have the habit of wearing a hat on myself or being a catcher.”
"Hey, old feudal! Do you understand this is called fun? But what you said makes sense. What serious man would spend money to buy a Yasue bus?"
——
The city of Siko was once the capital of Transia and the capital of the entire Bosian Confederation. Being able to hold such a title fully proves the wealth and prosperity of this place.
Apart from anything else, even though this place has become a ruin, the city area that is still intact is still three times the size of Scarlet Castle.
Of course, from another perspective, when both places are ruins, it is obviously very boring to have to be more perfect than those piles of ruins.
The Vault Hunters shuttled quickly through the dead city. They rode horses through the deserted empty streets, following the safe route planned by Yan Sang.
Along the way, you can see houses that collapsed during the war and strange holes left in the stones caused by the corrosion of the plague. The streets still have traces of the chaos before the city was destroyed, as well as some blood stains that cannot be washed away.
But what's disturbing is that they didn't see a single complete body in the entire abandoned city.
seem
It was as if someone had specially "cleaned" this place after the disaster.
"I feel a little fuzzy."
Brother Meow Meow vigilantly held the witch's staff in his hand and the imitation holy blade at his waist. As an Oak Knight who will become the Red Knight in the future, he passively possesses the talent of [Junior Weapon Master] after changing his profession, and he can become proficient in it.
Fight using various weapons.
Of course, this is just a talent, and it is not the same concept as the career of "Weapon Master" that Brother Cat is currently pursuing.
After Brother Meow Meow steps into the ruins of Xiko City, the natural spiritual energy that always accompanies him will be severely weakened, making it difficult for him to identify the hidden dangers around him through perception. This makes the Oak Knight feel more and more uneasy.
Heavy, his four brothers looked around nervously like him.
Not only them, members with higher perception attributes in Bangge's team will also look suspiciously at those abandoned buildings that have long been uninhabited, as if there is always a pair of eyes staring at them behind the boarded-up windows.
"Damn! This damn place!"
Happy Stick cursed, and he was also very irritable.
This kind of irritability not only comes from the action itself, knowing that there is danger, but also from the sense of danger inherent in extraordinary creatures like vampires.
He knew he had to act faster and evacuate as quickly as possible.
Can't stay here long.
The good news is that after speeding all the way, they arrived at the street where the Xico City Bank is located without encountering any obstacles. This is also the most severely damaged place in the entire city besides the industrial area.
When the young Earl of Sharon sold the information about the underground vault of the Xiko City Bank to Brother Bang, he reminded him that after the Pioneer Legion destroyed the city with the plague, all the visible wealth in the entire bank area was looted by those bastards, only the deepest underground
The treasury there was not destroyed.
There is a psychic lock, which can only be opened with the Xiko family key, and that key is currently in Brother Bang's pocket.
"Lin! You and the newcomers will stay here! We will be back in half an hour at most!"
Brother Bang jumped off his horse in front of the ruins of the bank that looked like it had been bombarded by shells, and shouted to his adjutant.
He did not dare to waste any more time, and rushed into the ruins of the bank with the other eight brothers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the five-man group Ming Miao Brother. After they left, the twenty newcomers of the tempering group also consciously rode
Horses patrolled around.
This scene was witnessed by Yan Sang outside the city using reconnaissance skills, and Qu Ge had already activated the Heart of the Gargoyle to gather stones to construct the body of the creature, ready to take off at any time to respond.
Two years ago, the Pioneer Legion plundered Xiko City very thoroughly, but the good news is that after such plunder, Brother Bang didn't have to spend time looking for a way to the treasury below.
The passage was clearly there, like a black beast's mouth that had been blown open by gunpowder and led underground, waiting to swallow greedy adventurers in one go.
"Everyone has taken these teleportation scrolls. If something happens and you can't escape, just tear up the scrolls and go back to Scarlet Castle."
Before going to the vault, Brother Bang took out the scroll he bought from Mrs. Tracey before setting off from his bag and distributed it to everyone.
Everyone looked disgusted when holding it in their hands.
Obviously, it is because the 1% chance of losing control of this thing makes everyone very uneasy. The tragic experience of Cheche before is enough to teach anyone who is going to use the teleportation scroll a lesson worth remembering. It is said that poor Cheche was because of that "star journey"
"It left a bad psychological shadow, and I refused to try the teleportation service provided by NPC again no matter what.
"Don't scare yourself, maybe there's nothing down there?"
Brother Miao Miao managed to cheer up and tell a joke, but was severely despised by others.
Everyone filed in along the passage and went down the marble spiral staircase. They did not stop on the underground floor at all but went straight to the large vault on the second floor.
This process went very smoothly. Except for a few black rats over one meter long running in the dark, almost nothing else made any noise.
The vault Brother Bang was looking for was also very conspicuous. The other vaults had been blown apart by violent means. Only the vault deepest underground was intact. It was surrounded by traces of explosions and several bundles of undetonated explosives, but it weighed several billion.
There are no traces of damage left on the tons of iron gate.
"Its psychic lock is still full of energy!"
Brother Mingmiao stepped forward to feel it, and immediately turned back to Brother Bang with a face of ecstasy and said:
"This proves that it has not been opened in the past two years and the gold inside is intact! Quick, open it and see what's inside!"
"Don't worry."
Brother Bang also heaved a sigh of relief. What he was most afraid of was getting nothing after putting in so much effort, but he still had to act as steady as a mountain and stepped forward to take out the key given by Xiao Sharon and insert it into the keyhole.
As the seventeen runes of the psychic key lit up one by one, the heavy steel door slowly opened.
Under the expectant gaze of everyone, a golden light that could not be ignored exploded in this dark place.
Of course, gold itself does not shine!
No matter how much gold is piled together, it will not emit light. The reason why the golden light floats is because there is a circle of spiritual light guarding the treasure house flashing, causing the neatly stacked gold bars to reflect the colorful and dazzling light.
This scene made all the players in front of them forget to cheer or even breathe.
They stood there in a daze, looking at the astonishing wealth that they had discovered with their own hands.
In fact, the gold bars stored in this vault are not actually that much. After all, it is just one of the financial treasure troves of Xi Ke. Compared with the family wealth in the Blood Eagle Corridor, it is not even one-tenth, but for the players,
It is already a super treasure that cannot be described in words!
Little Earl Sharon didn’t lie to them!
There are real treasures here!
Although I still don’t understand the exchange ratio between gold bars and gold coins, the current rough estimate of the value of these gold bars will never be less than 500,000 gold coins. According to the exchange ratio of 1:10, that is five million yuan?
Well, it doesn't seem like a lot after all.
At least it's not a big sum of money for Brother Xiaofu's level, but Brother Bang at least has some results he can produce to soothe the heavy work pressure he's been under recently.
"move!"
He gave the order!
The other guys rushed into the vault like wild dogs and threw the gold bricks into specially prepared psychic bags. But just as everyone was happily loading the gold bars, the little hand with the highest perception here suddenly moved his ears.
, while he decisively hid in the shadows, he grabbed Brother Miao Miao and said:
"Did you hear anything? It seemed like someone came in. Behind!"
"boom"
As soon as he finished speaking, something heavy hit the ground behind him.
Brother Jangbang suddenly turned around and saw that the broken corpse of his brother who was staying at the entrance to the second-floor basement was being smashed to the ground. A figure in gold clothes and armor, holding a giant hammer with a skeleton, slowly walked out of the darkness.
"This land will not allow anything to be taken away from you! Anything! Robbers, weep!"
The guy roared, and smashed out the giant hammer in his hand, sending the brother next to Happy Stick flying away. Then large swaths of cold mist rose from all around, and densely packed resentful spirits flew out of it.
Seeing this scene, Happy Stick's hair stood on end. He and the brothers around him immediately drew their weapons and prepared for the final resistance.
"Fuck! I knew it wouldn't go so smoothly. Every pile of treasures must have a guard, right? This mechanism design is so bad!"
