The Benefit of the Ancestors——Zhu Xie Nai III Chapter 15: Falling Trap
"Huh?" Sophia recalled whether she had done any related actions in Endigon, but she had no memory. "Can you please tell me about this?"
"There is your portrait on the ranking list. I don't know who wrote an adventure novel that is constantly being updated based on the report you submitted to the mercenary industry. It is said to be very popular in the empire. The Alliance is more sensitive due to the war.
It has not been released to the public.”
"This is really unexpected... This is the first time I know about this. It seems that it would be good to have a chance to read this novel. Can you introduce the list of scholars?" Sophia was extremely curious, but also even more
Confuse.
"The list of scholars is kept secret from the outside world, which is also a protective measure. This time, it is mainly because Miss Zejin is on the list that I can make an exception and mention it. The name of the book is The Chronicles of Yucang. I am a loyal reader. Except for the first two
I haven’t bought this one, but you can come to Guglas City and see the others in my library.” The person in charge gave the address.
"Understood, I will come to your house again when I have the opportunity." Sofia easily wrote down the address and smiled politely. In Sofia's impression, Miller is not good at writing, and others in the team do not have the talent or time... "In addition, I
I would like to ask if this lighting tool for your carriage is for sale and what is the price. I once saw a lamp made with a similar principle in an underground city in a ruins. I think this will be useful for the commission we are going to carry out next.
It helps a lot.”
"For firefly lanterns, the uniform price is 180 paise a piece." The person in charge quoted the price.
"What is the approximate lighting range of the firefly lamp? How long can it last?" Sophia thought it was not expensive, but still asked about the specific effects.
The person in charge thought for a while and gave specific test data. Basically, the fluorescent light within a radius of 60 feet is considered a bright environment, and then extends to a dark environment of 120 feet. This small bug can survive in regular air for more than
For one hundred years, the glass cover also has a certain impact-resistant base.
There are three fireflies in a lamp. The fireflies can inhale the wind element in the air or use the air element to maintain life. They will fall asleep in places without any wind element. If the air is poisonous, the light will turn green.
Sofia asked again how far away the lamp could detect toxins, but it wouldn't be too far. There were no other products on the carriage, so she only bought a butterfly lamp.
After the purchase, Sophia continued to chat with him. She asked them if they had noticed anything strange here along the way. But apart from repelling an evil creature and a monster, there was nothing else to do, so she exchanged greetings with him for a few more words.
, and said goodbye.
In the end, Sofia and Noel made a profit by eating not only meat but also fresh bread tonight.
After an uneventful night, the three of them got their weapons back the next morning and began a three-day campaign. Although there were a lot of evil creatures in the direction of the mountain, they were not as strong as the demonic pig before.
Although it was a pity that not a single core of origin was found, the four of them also became familiar with fighting against evil objects. During this period, Sophia also tried the newly acquired spell, which requires contact to be released and can banish the target to the main body.
Outside the plane, very powerful.
Ryan and Noel mainly re-acquainted themselves with the feel and use of plated weapons.
On the third night, Sophia handed the firefly lamp to Alice and asked her to hold the light while paying attention to when the light turned green. The latter blinked in confusion but agreed without asking why.
On the fourth day, Sophia decided to officially enter the ruins and brought enough supplies. According to the slate map, the four of them quickly found the entrance to the underground ruins.
The entrance was covered with purple-black moss and was now blocked by several large stones, but Enol could easily move it away with his arm strength. "Did the dwarves block this?" He moved the stone away and clapped his hands.
"As expected of Noel, he is so powerful. As for the stone, it is possible." Ryan praised.
"Who knows." Sophia checked the entrance to see if there were any traces, and then Ryan joined the process.
Noel shouldered the giant sword and stood on guard.
When the light shines into the cave, you can see that the walls inside are carved with various mysterious patterns.
There are many messy footprints in and out of the dust on the ground. It is difficult to tell how many people have entered recently, but at least the entrance is a straight road, so there is no need to worry too much. The cave is diagonally downwards, and there is nothing special about the initial exploration.
Discover.
Sophia searched her memory to confirm whether she had seen those patterns before, such as in the ruins of Lamesa. However, these were not the energy-containing patterns she had seen. They were probably just ordinary decorations with no meaning.
.
"Go down and take a look?" Ryan asked.
"I can start, but have you found anything?" Noel looked at Sophia.
"Nothing has been discovered yet, let's go. Ryan, if you find that we have arrived at the place shown in the scene you saw a few days ago, just tell us." Sophia used a magic trick to clear the dust at the entrance of the cave.
Ryan nodded. "No problem."
Noel also nodded, and then walked down the road. He had dark vision and walked at the front to explore the path. Ryan followed behind Noel, and then began to try to match the cave with the map in his memory, trying to find
The way forward.
Alice wanted to ensure Ryan's sight and followed him to the third position with a lantern. At the same time, she opened part of her magic power as a trivial means of perception.
Sophia walked last, and a light spell also provided lighting.
The four of them walked diagonally downwards along the cave for a while. Suddenly Noel triggered a mechanism that caused the entire team to be knocked into a hollow by the rotating stone wall and began to fall downwards.
The collision didn't hurt Noel much. Ryan didn't have as strong a body as Noel, but the self-healing power of his body full of magic easily healed the minor injuries.
In comparison, Sophia, the two casters, was also injured, but this injury was nothing compared to the monster's attack. But for Alice, who had never experienced an adventure life, it was a serious injury, but subconsciously
Hug Hua let the light not be broken.
The place where the four people landed was a very high underground building space, which looked like a hall. There were many unfinished sculptures surrounding it.
Ryan had an impression of this place. At the same time, six dwarf skeletons on the wall not far away began to move. They were wearing black spiked bone armor, which were obviously the ones in the picture.
Sophia reacted quickly and immediately hid the light barrier from the four of them.
The wind blew under Noel's feet and he immediately knocked down a skeleton, then took off his giant sword and hit another skeleton hard, but this extremely powerful blow did not make the skeleton fall apart. "This pile of bones is so hard." Noel spat.
A mouthful of saliva.
"It feels like I still can't cut. Damn it, let me take care of the defense here." Ryan stood next to Sophia and Alice, intending to help resist the skeleton's attack.
The skeletons that were knocked down at the beginning also got up. These dwarf skeletons did not all have bone clubs, and they were even beaten with fists and feet.
The continuous blows shattered the barrier, and each of the four people suffered different injuries. Alice was the most seriously injured, even if Ryan took the blame for her.
After Alice was injured for the second time, she ended her chanting and put on a spiritual wind shield and petrified skin. Then she used an attack trick but it had no effect.
Sophia first projected the mirror seal to herself, and the sword seal to Noel. Then there was a thunder ray that reached the third level six times in a row - using fireball at this distance would accidentally injure teammates, but the damage type of thunder and lightning seemed to be very effective against uncleanness.
Biology is very effective.
Noel used the traditional warrior move "Windmill", and a whirlwind severely damaged the group of skeletons that were temporarily unable to move due to thunder and lightning. Ryan added a bark spell to himself, and then swung his knife out but failed to break the defense. So he continued to move around,
Be alert to the routes where skeletons may attack.
The subsequent attacks by the skeletons only posed a certain threat to the more attractive Noel, but it was not a big problem.
"Tsk...these guys are so tough." Alice used the upgrade spell to add a petrified skin to Noel and Ryan respectively.
Sophia fired another level 5 thunder ray, which finally knocked these skeletons into motionless state. They fell to the ground and turned into a pile of bone fragments.
"Well, as expected of Sophia, she's really amazing. I'll have to train harder when I go back." Ryan said, adding another bark technique to himself.
Noel applied a jar of healing ointment to himself to heal his injuries, then used his magic regeneration ring to treat minor injuries, and then shared it with others to use the ring to heal.
Sophia drank two bottles of potion to restore her magic power.
Ryan compared the pictures of the way out. This should be the starting point of the dwarf's escape, which means that this is where the initial abnormality occurred. These six skeletons just matched the number of people who came in but failed to get out.
In one corner of this hall, not far from the upward stairs, there is a collapsed location.
"This should be where the dwarves started to escape. These six unclean creatures belong to the six dwarves who came in before." Ryan told his companions the information he had guided after comparison.
Noel frowned and observed the two skeletons that fell down at once. "Have they been corroded into skeletons so quickly? It's really scary."
Sophia sensed the strong negative energy on these bone fragments. "It's very strong negative energy. Has it accumulated so much in such a short period of time?" She looked around the hall to see if there was anything worth paying attention to. Originally,
I also wanted to check the armor, but it seems that there is no chance.
Ryan and Sophia looked around to see if they could find the source of energy corroding the skeletons.
But in addition to the decorative patterns on the upward stairs, you can also pay attention to the collapse here where you can go down.
The detect magic and detect malice released by Sophia did not produce any magical aura.
