Chapter 42: The Ancient City's Past

Theodora is not a good witch who is willing to help others.

After killing Patra, she asked the tengu to swear allegiance to her.

The Tengu were afraid of the witch's powerful magic, so most of them surrendered to her and respected her as their new master. Later, they followed her out of this ceramic city and went to Wenji Township in the west to mine gold.

There were only a handful of tengu who refused to betray Patra, so they were all brutally killed by the Witch of the West, who also cast spells to turn them into undead creatures and sealed them in porcelain statues and temples.

As for the activated ceramic figures in the city, they are also a masterpiece of the Witch of the West.

The tengu who died in this room was one of the loyal servants of the Gorgon Patra.

Patra, who was killed by the Witch of the West, was not completely dead.

Theodora has a nasty hobby of turning her opponents into undead creatures.

Patra also became her plaything and was transformed into a "living dead" by magic.

The dead spirit of the Gorgon is imprisoned in the temple built during her lifetime.

There are also many tengu who have transformed into undead creatures in the temple, and they still fulfill their mission of protecting the mistress after death.

Theodora doesn't like this city of ceramics, but she doesn't mind keeping this place as her palace, and she can visit it whenever she feels like it.

The spirit of the Tengu also revealed a piece of gossip.

It is said that the treasures collected by the Gorgon Patra during her lifetime were stored in a hidden room in the temple, and even Theodora did not discover them.

The tengu who died in the room had a chance to escape from Patra Castle.

The reason why he was reluctant to leave was not only because of his loyalty to the mistress, but also because of his greed for treasure.

As you can imagine, his greed cost him his life.

When his soul was awakened by Ma Yun's spell, he was almost dead. What he could not forget the most was the treasure in the temple. He was really greedy to the point of being ridiculous!

"The Gorgon's treasure!"

Xiao Ma seemed to have been infected by the greedy Tengu. As soon as he finished channeling, his eyes flashed with "$$".

"Brother Fei! Sister Feng! I have received the main mission!"

"Are you going to Patra Temple to hunt for treasure?" Jiang Feng asked.

"That's right!"

Everyone walked not far along the street and saw a magnificent building located in the center of the city.

The temple that the Gorgon built for herself is a round-arched building supported by tall pillars. The facade of the walls is covered with smooth white ceramic tiles.

The only door into the temple has been sealed by a stone wall, with many small holes cut out in the wall.

Jiang Feng's Templar has its own "Perception" skill, and the specialty "Sentinel" also greatly strengthens her Perception test.

As soon as she entered the square where the temple was located, she stopped and warned her companions to be careful.

"The stone wall sealing the temple gate and the holes dug out are probably devices used to launch arrows."

"If the crossbow is really hidden, how far is its range?" Gao Fei asked.

"I can't see that." Jiang Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"We should send someone up to explore the way." Ma Yun turned to look at the scarecrow, "Vita, have you heard the story of 'a straw boat borrowing arrows'?"

"I've never heard of it, but Miss Master, you don't have to tell me again. I understand what you mean."

Vita sighed and walked forward bravely.

When we were still 50 meters away from the gate, the arrow holes in the wall made a whooshing sound, and dense crossbow arrows were shot out.

Vita ran back quickly.

By the time he returned to his companions, several crossbow bolts had been inserted into his back.

Jiang Feng pulled out a crossbow arrow, observed it, and said to everyone: "The arrow is poisoned."

"I should be lucky that what was shot from the other side was not a rocket."

Vita laughed at herself in pain.

"Let me try it next."

Nick picked up the tower shield Ma Yun made for him, protected his body, and moved forward slowly.

Walking to the place where Vita was attacked just now, arrows were fired again from the opposite side.

This time, not only were poisonous arrows shot, there were actually rockets!

The crossbow bolts coated with "blazing glue" penetrated the shield's skin and were nailed to the oak tower shield, quickly igniting it.

Nick had to throw down the burning shield, turn around and run back.

With a clanging sound, several crossbow bolts hit his back.

Most of the crossbow bolts bounced off the armor, but two of them penetrated the armor and pierced Nick's back.

Goofy pulled out the crossbow arrow from the Tin Man's back and found that the arrow had been bent.

If such a powerful crossbow were to hit a living person, the arrow would definitely penetrate deep into the internal organs.

Ma Yun cast a spell to repair the arrow holes on the Scarecrow and Tin Man, and looked at the heavily fortified temple opposite, lost in thought.

"It's impossible to charge directly. You will definitely be shot into a hornet's nest." Dimitri the Lion scratched his head.

"If you want to break into the temple, you must tear down that wall."

Jiang Feng opened the astrolabe, logged into the system store, looked through the goods list from top to bottom, and finally looked disappointed.

"It's a pity that the system store doesn't sell explosive packs or the like, otherwise the wall would be blown down."

"Explosive pack..." Gao Fei had an idea, held his girlfriend's hand and smiled: "Comrade Xiao Jiang, you have a good idea!"

"Please, I was just saying casually, why bother being sarcastic!"

Jiang Feng shook off his hand, puffed up his cheeks and sulked.

"Sister Feng, you misunderstood Brother Fei." Ma Yun smiled and tried to stop the fight, "He sincerely praised you for coming up with a good idea."

"No... Is this a good idea?" Now it was Jiang Nuxia's turn to be unable to hold back any longer, "After all, there is no way that explosives can appear in a fantasy module with a medieval background!"

"There are no ready-made explosives, we can make our own!"

Ma Yun opened the storage space of the astrolabe, took out three bundles of cables, and applied the "Secondary Activation Technique" one by one, turning them all into "activation ropes".

She gave three bundles of activated ropes to the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and the Lion respectively, and asked them to catch the moving ceramic figures on the street.

"The remaining ceramic figures on the street are in passive patrol mode. As long as they do not come within 60 feet, they will not be attacked."

Goofy warned Nick and his party.

"You'd better find the lone ceramic man and chop off his arm with an axe. This will remove the resistance without triggering self-destruction."

"Cut the ceramic figures into sticks, tie them with activated ropes, and string them together one by one, like sausages."

"When we gather ten ceramic figures, we will bring them back."

The Tin Man and the Lion looked at each other, confused as to what Gao Fei and Ma Yun meant.

The smart scarecrow seemed to have woken up and nodded with a smile.

About half an hour passed.

Nick, Vita and Dimitri each led a string of ceramic figures tied with activated ropes back to the temple square.

"Great! Now let's make cluster bombs!"

Ma Yun connected the three activated ropes end to end, tightly binding the ten ceramic figures together.

The next question is how to drop this "cluster bomb" in front of the temple gate.
