Benefits of the Ancestors——Zhou Xie Nai III Chapter 48: The Opposite Side of Fate
Since there are no teammates around this time, the unclean creatures that could have been easily killed have become dangerous.
As soon as Zate and Dinefel arrived at a crossroads, about twenty skeletons rushed over. Compared to those in the Wild Forest, these ordinary skeletons had fragile bones covered with incantations.
Bandage, defense has been greatly improved.
While chanting a war song, Zate used magic to attack the group of skeletons. However, it had no effect except to break a few bones.
These skeletons holding scimitars were slashing indiscriminately after they got close. Fortunately, Zate had new equipment, and the black spider silk spreading out easily blocked the rusty blade.
As for Dinefel, he only needs to dodge a little while attacking, and the psychic shield will definitely be enough.
In the end, the two of them only found some ancient gold coins. After confirming that nothing special had been looted, they could only go to the fifth floor.
At this time, the three people on the fifth floor picked up a special gold coin after dealing with some unclean creatures, which should be a cursed magic item.
Due to the resourcefulness of these few people, they were able to completely explore the remaining part of the fourth floor in just forty-eight hours, and found the door leading to the depths of the fifth floor.
Whether or not to rest for a day is a question. After meeting, Sofia saw that Zate was covered in blood and Hitz was in poor condition, so she decided to take a rest for a day.
During this period, Sophia asked the staff to find out if there was any news about the people they had asked them to help pay attention to a few days ago. But there was no news at all. After replenishing supplies, she asked how the current exploration of the ruins was going.
After bringing some food and drink, Sophia learned that there were still a large number of short-range space transfer traps and a huge number of unclean creatures on the fifth floor of the ruins.
It seemed that taking a day off was indeed the right thing to do. After that, Sofia went around to ask if any other teams had obtained cursed gold coins. But why should they tell others what they had obtained? Sofia did not report any loot. The girl also
I can only be speechless, after all, there is nothing wrong with what they said.
After that, Sofia asked the staff to describe Nina's appearance and asked if she had seen her before. After all, Nina had appeared suddenly from other places, so it didn't matter if she asked.
Although Sofia asked at the gate of the ruins because she didn't know why Nina was missing in the city, the staff still dutifully told her that they had never seen her.
Fageni was more concerned about whether there were any deaths in the exploration activities. If so, how did most of the deaths occur? Then he learned that only a few rookies and unlucky guys who lied about their strength died, and overall there were no casualties.
Fagenius originally wanted to bring a letter to Alexander over in Guglas. But Sophia could convey whatever he wanted to say and when to contact him.
At this point, Fageni didn't want Sophia to take the lead anymore... Instead, he chatted with the adventurers and mercenaries who were still resting on the ground and asked them about their thoughts on exploration and if they had encountered anything.
There is currently only one medical team and one security team on the ground. They have only been to the third floor, nothing special. The security team is composed of five A-level adventurers, and the medical team is an ordinary B-level temporary one.
There are three people in the team who have different healing methods, and one can soothe the spirit.
"Who is the medical team composed of?" Zate couldn't help but ask after hearing what Fageni described after she came back. After all, she was better than Sophia in terms of treatment.
Seeing that Fageni couldn't explain why, Zate decided to go to the treatment team to say hello, and by the way, with a learning and curious attitude, he asked about some of the treatment methods of the treatment team, which might come in handy when treating his teammates later.
Among these people are a priest, a paladin and a warlock whose bloodline power seems to be very sacred. Of course, these have nothing to do with Zate...
Sofia, who was following behind, was curious and asked those people what spell they used to soothe their spirits. But the adventurer did not use any special ability, but the skills of conversation and suggestion.
It's normal to accumulate stress when going to dungeons, so this ability is very useful. Both Sophia and Zate want to learn this skill, although they still have to pay a fee.
Hitz looked at Lindsay in her pocket and sighed, she had nothing to do.
It’s not impossible to not need money, but at least you have to give something memorable or valuable. Speaking of which, these people who are good at healing others mentally have many quirks.
Sophia thought about it and decided to use the Staff of Life as tuition. With Zate's hymn, this inexpensive prop now has little effect.
Next, after another day of cleaning up the skeletons of miscellaneous soldiers, the group and other teams advanced to almost half of the fifth level environment. This fifth level is probably the living level. There were so many people in the past that they all became unclean.
Biological.
From the entrance to the fifth floor, the area becomes larger and larger, basically forming a right pyramid shape. Of course, there is no concept of a pyramid in this world.
The five people agreed that they could clear the fifth floor all night to speed up the progress, and luckily they were the first to discover the entrance to the sixth floor when the total progress reached three-quarters.
When exploring the fifth floor, in addition to unclean creatures and traps, we also found some daily necessities, but they were all turned into dust that broke into pieces under the ruthless time.
Sophia planned to find a nearby team to inform them of the situation and see if they could explore unexplored nearby areas. But just as she was about to leave the room where the door was located, a space teleportation trap was triggered.
After the five people recovered from the brief dizziness, they found themselves and their teammates in a gear-powered room, seemingly teleported to the sixth floor.
"We fell into a trap, but luckily it wasn't a fatal one, otherwise we would have been in big trouble." Hitz was still frightened.
"It seems that we have teleported to the sixth floor? But where is this place?" Sophia briefly searched the room where the gears were still operating. The girl who had learned a lot quickly judged the role of this place. "It's okay, but we are here.
This room should be a steam-powered air pressure control room."
"Is everyone okay?" Zate looked to see how the others were doing and whether they were injured.
"I thought all the traps were gone, but I did something wrong here." Fageni shook his head and looked to see if there was a secret door on the wall of the room.
Sofia observed that the direction provided by the operation of these gears extends underground. "The power provided by these gears should be for unknown devices underground."
Zate and Fageni fumbled around and each found a hidden door.
"It felt the same as before, I was directly attacked underground." Fageni was talking about the time in Charlotte. Then he walked to the door he found and tried to look out through the gap.
At this time, Sofia discovered that there was a very small rectangular depression in the floor of the door in front of Fageni. It didn't seem like something was missing. "Fageni, there is a depression in the floor of the door panel over there. Let's see what it is." She said.
Pointing at the depression.
"Where? This?" Fageni squatted down and found the depression.
"First let's see what the depression is for. What if it's a trap?" Heath said worriedly.
"There shouldn't even be a trap in this place. After all, this is also a power room." Although Sophia said so, she was not sure. She thought that the depression might be connected to the underground steam pipes.
of.
"Everything is possible, but if you don't know everything about this place, you can't take it for granted," Hitz advised.
"Or stay far away and find something to throw at it?" Dinefel made a rare suggestion to test the trap.
"Hmm, I feel like I should be able to find something, such as a stone, to press it down." Zate was basically repeating the reading.
Fageni turned around to see if there was anything like this under the other door, but there was one too.
Sophia thought for a while and tried to awaken her spirituality. But as expected, something unexpected happened and she couldn't use it.
"Is it possible that those are the mechanisms that were pressed at the same time?" Zate thought hard and came up with a possibility.
"I guess it's just something that opens the door. There are any doors." Fageni looked around to see if there was anything heavy that could be lifted, but it would be useless if he didn't remove the gears.
There seemed to be no idea, so Fageni stepped in.
"Fageni is too brave." Hitz was shocked. As soon as she finished speaking, it seemed that an underground steam pipe burst, and a huge amount of steam rushed from Fageni's feet to the ceiling. Then the entire ruins began to
Shaking, could it be that the self-destruct device has been activated?
"As expected of you." Sophia said calmly.
"I told you it might be a trap." Hitz was on the verge of crying.
"Are you okay?" Zate watched Fageni fall from the ceiling and get up, as if there was no big problem. "Then let's explore quickly.
At the same time, the door opened. There was a long corridor behind both doors, and there seemed to be no difference.
"Why did this thing explode?" Fageni complained.
"It should be that your step just now destroyed the power pipeline and triggered the set self-destruction device." Sophia guessed, and then she began to diverge her consciousness to try to feel the previous fluctuations in consciousness.
"Let's leave quickly. If we stay here, we might as well do something else." Fageni pulled out the knife.
"Is your injury okay?" Hitz asked.
"Everyone should leave here quickly." Zate saw that Sophia had no intention of leaving.
"Wait a moment, I will try to feel behind the two passages first, and Zate will treat Fagni's injuries first." Sophia was still trying to spread her consciousness out, trying to catch some traces. It probably took
For a minute, she suddenly felt like she was being watched by something. "Well... everyone, something is not right. I seem to be being watched by something again."
"Then... let's retreat first? Let's choose any direction." Dinefel said.
"Is it too late to retreat? Sophia." Hitz said with a sad face.
"Withdraw, we have no choice but to leave." Sophia threw out the cursed magic gold coin she found before, and then turned it heads left, tails right, but she did not completely leave it to fate, but chose after tails appeared.
