Taking his eyes away from the centaur's skeleton, Lei Xiao stood up again, flexing his sore calves as he walked in the direction of Chao Yan.
After carefully passing two ancient yellowed skeletons covered with dust lying in the middle of the road, Lei Xiao arrived at Chao Yan's side within a few steps.
"Lord, look, someone really tried to dig a hole out here!"
Blinking his starry eyes at Lei Xiao, Chaoyan pointed to a narrow passage that appeared on the cave wall, and said with surprise on his slightly dirty little face.
Following the direction of Chaoyan's finger, Lei Xiao moved his eyes and began to observe.
This passage is extremely narrow and can only accommodate one adult. It is a slightly steep uphill road and it is pitch black.
It can be seen that someone is indeed trying to dig a hole from here to leave.
"There are no traces of piles of sand and gravel around. It seems to have been directly decomposed during the excavation process. In addition, the edges of the cave wall are very neat..."
Ye Cang, who had taken off his gold-rimmed glasses, wiped the floating dust on his lenses with a milky-white glasses cloth and said thoughtfully: "Only a senior earth magician can do this."
"Can this guy see so clearly even if he takes off his glasses?"
Looking at the muscular priest in front of him, his brown eyes narrowed slightly, looking at ease, Lei Xiao could not help but curl his lips slightly.
"Sir, leave it to my subordinates. I like to explore this kind of closed and narrow space."
Ye Cang pushed the gold-rimmed glasses onto the tall bridge of his nose again, and said with an elegant smile.
"Go ahead."
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao first grabbed Erhanizi, who was also eager to try, and then nodded to the muscle priest and said: "Be careful in everything."
"Please don't worry, sir. I'll come back as soon as I go."
Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Ye Cang rolled up his sleeves and turned away.
"Dazzling light, guide the lost travelers!"
At the same time, crisp chanting sounded, Ariel waved her silver staff, and then sent the nearest magic light ball into the narrow passage first.
When Ye Cang left with the magic light ball, Lei Xiao withdrew his gaze and started to look around again.
However, everywhere you look, there are all kinds of dead bones and rusty scrapped weapons and armor.
Especially on the yellowed skulls, the hollow and deeply sunken eye sockets and the slightly open lower jaw seemed to be saying something wordlessly, making people feel desolate and desolate.
"Now I am becoming more and more curious about the scene after this endless passage. What kind of thing is worthy of being guarded by so many endless passages?"
Looking at the scene of corpses scattered everywhere in front of him, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
After the group of people looked around for about three or four minutes, Ye Cang's burly figure reappeared in front of Lei Xiao.
"Sir, this guy dug upward for at least two hundred meters, but in the end he died of exhaustion."
Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Ye Cang waved lightly, and a human skeleton covered with a black robe appeared in front of Lei Xiao.
Upon closer inspection, although the robe on his body is just an ordinary cloth robe without class, it looks relatively new. It is obvious that he was trapped and died in this area in the past ten years or in recent years.
"Sir, my subordinates found two things next to this guy."
Immediately afterwards, Ye Cang respectfully handed over a staff that still exuded splendor and a silver ring.
"I didn't expect that besides the crown, there would be other gains."
Taking the staff and ring from Ye Cang, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly: "A third-level staff and a storage ring?"
Before that, the group also discovered several storage rings of different styles.
However, due to such a long period of time, they are all in a state of being unusable.
Therefore, Lei Xiaojun put it away casually, and this storage ring had a colorful surface and was obviously still in a state of normal use.
Caressing the slightly mottled silver ring body, Lei Xiao felt the slight coolness coming from it while opening the ring's attribute bar.
[Name: Silver Eyes] (unbound)
[Grade: Second level fine (green)]
[Defense Strength: None]
[Additional effect: Any object that has no life breath can be stored and taken out at will in the space above. The space capacity is 20 cubic meters.]
[Remarks: An ordinary storage ring, made by a certain fourth-level space magician in the Cold Flame Kingdom. There is nothing special about it. Its previous owner left some items inside. 】
"Then just check it out."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao began to identify the energy owner.
The next second, a familiar prompt sounded in his ears.
[Congratulations, the binding is successful! You have become the new owner of "Silver Eyes (Second Level Excellent)"! 】
Next, after some inspection, Lei Xiao noticed.
In addition to tens of thousands of golden dragons and some miscellaneous items, there are two items in total, one is an alchemy table, and the other is more than ten small brocade boxes.
Noticing this, Lei Xiao first motioned to the subordinates around him to step back, and then with a thought, a pale golden stone alchemy table and those small brocade boxes appeared in front of everyone.
At a glance, the alchemy platform is about three meters square and about one meter high. It is engraved with various magic formations and looks quite mysterious.
"It's interesting."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao opened the attribute bar of the alchemy platform.
[Name: "Moonlight Lane" Alchemy Platform]
[Race: Human race]
[Function: Refining magic potion]
[Remarks: The material of this alchemy table is high-quality moonstone, which can further increase the refining efficiency and refining success rate during alchemy. For moon-based alchemists, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
It is said that this alchemy platform was refined by the alchemist Yoniel, one of the Nine Dragon-Slaying Heroes, when he was young. It has been living among the people for hundreds of years. It was accidentally acquired by a low-level noble and has been kept in his mansion.
Later, the residence of this low-level nobleman was ransacked by unknown persons, causing him to be directly bloody on the spot, and the whereabouts of the alchemy platform were also unknown.】
"What a good guy, this is actually an item belonging to one of the nine dragon-slaying heroes, Yoniel, when he was young five hundred years ago?"
Looking at the text on the attribute column, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows in surprise, thinking to himself: "It can be seen from the remarks that this object was taken away by a gangster. It seems that the gangster is probably this one."
The skeletons are trapped and dead here.”
Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao couldn't help but feel a hint of joy again on his face.
He continued in his heart: "Speaking of which, the properties of this alchemy platform coincide with those of Faxia, so it is perfect for her to use them. In this way, she and Xue Ya, who owns the ice alchemy platform, will be able to work together again.
We’re all on the same starting line.”
"Moreover, her alchemy efficiency can also be further improved!"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and focused his eyes on the brocade boxes placed on the surface of the alchemy table.
Picking up an orange brocade box, Lei Xiao opened the lid and revealed a round, milky-white potion exuding a faint fragrance.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao began to look at the attribute column.
[Name: Wumingdan]
[Grade: None]
[Efficacy: None]
[Note: Apart from the smell and appearance, this potion has no actual effect. You can only feel a slight sense of fullness after taking it.]
"Unknown elixir? No class? No effect?"
Looking at this somewhat inexplicable introduction, Lei Xiao couldn't help but frown slightly.
In addition to doubts, Lei Xiao opened several other brocade boxes one after another and found that the magic potions inside were all this kind of unknown elixir.
"Fake potion? My lord, it turns out that this corpse was once a fallen alchemist that everyone wanted to beat."
Just when Lei Xiao was puzzled, the white-haired Bert stepped forward and spoke.
"Fake potion? Fallen alchemist?"
After hearing these two new terms, Lei Xiao put down the brocade box in his hand and motioned for Bert to continue speaking with a curious look on his face.
"Sir, although my subordinates don't know alchemy, they know a lot about these degenerate alchemists and pseudo-magic potions."
An old voice sounded, and Bert gently stroked his short gray beard and explained: "The so-called pseudo-potions imitate the smell and appearance of normal potions, but do not have the effects of normal potions."
"The most important thing is that the time and cost of refining fake magic potion are extremely low, but in front of laymen, it is easy enough to mistake the fake potion for the real thing, and those hateful degenerate alchemists treat the fake potion as ordinary potion
sell."
At this time, Burt's face couldn't help but reveal a look of sadness and anger, and he continued: "When we were on the battlefield, many of my colleagues suffered from serious injuries after taking pseudo-magic potions.
Eventually he died."
"I see. In other words, isn't this fallen alchemist just a seller of fake potions?"
After listening to Bert's words, Lei Xiao suddenly understood and sighed in his heart: "I didn't expect that such a thing would happen in this world."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly.
However, for someone who can view the attribute bar, this little trick obviously cannot work.
"Moreover, the vast majority of corrupted alchemists commit crimes by burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil. They often occupy important positions on the wanted lists of many countries."
Burt sighed softly, the wrinkles on both sides of his old eyes were deep, and added: "And it was after suffering many losses from fake magic potions that my subordinates worked hard to practice some magic potion identification skills."
"Okay, old general, let the past pass."
After gently patting Bert's generous shoulder, Lei Xiao nodded and said, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, this kind of thing will never happen again in the future."
"These degenerate alchemists are really worthy of being killed by everyone!"
On the other side, Chao Yan blinked his big eyes and came up and said, "Sir, do you need my subordinates to crush him to ashes?"
After finishing speaking, Chao Yan's little face couldn't help but reveal a look of eagerness and expectation.
Since Hongye, who was better at flames, took over the girl's usual job of cleaning up the traces of corpses, she was obviously a little panicked.
"It's better to take care of your little feet that have nowhere to rest."
Looking at Erhanizi, who still had a half-orc tibia hanging on her leather boots, Lei Xiao casually gave the other party a hairy chestnut and said, "You can show off your skills on the battlefield soon."
"Understood, sir."
On the other side, Chao Yan grinned and covered his head with a pitiful expression.
"I'm not that strong, don't blackmail people."
Shaking his head helplessly, Lei Xiao refocused his attention on the things in front of him.
"Just keep these pseudo-magic potions on your body for now. Maybe it will have any effect in the future. We still don't know."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao casually put the alchemy table and a total of fifteen pseudo-magic potions into the space bracelet with a wave of his hand.
Looking at the newly widened passage, Lei Xiao ordered the subordinates again: "Okay, let's move on."
After that, the group did not make any other discoveries in this circular passage.
Finally, under Lei Xiao's instructions, Hongye opened the hidden backdoor here again.
Stepping into a slightly smaller circle of chaotic vortex, when Lei Xiao's vision became clear again, he found that he had returned to the fork in the road just now.
"Next, we should enter the passage on the right."
Nodding to the subordinates, Lei Xiao placed Rolandal across his chest again and took the first step.
Surrounded by his subordinates, Lei Xiao, who entered the passage on the right, noticed.
The scene here is still the same.
The uneven hard ground, the rough cave walls, the ancient and earthy air, it can be said that it is all there.
The two magic light balls lighting up the front were floating in mid-air, reflecting the group's figures on the cave wall next to them. Between the light and shadow, it felt like a secret adventure.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that.
The humidity here is obviously much higher than that in the passage on the left just now.
The further you go in, the more obvious the water seepage is on the cave walls on both sides, and the width of the passage is gradually increasing.
The overall environment here is very similar to the first endless passage at the beginning.
While walking, Lei Xiao was thinking about whether this new right passage would directly connect to the first passage.
Hong Ye, who was at the front, suddenly stopped walking and turned around to report: "Sir, a strong aura suddenly appeared in front of you. Judging from the strength, it should be at the level of a peak fourth-level strong person!"
"oh?"
Hearing this, not only Lei Xiao, but also other subordinates around him showed expressions of surprise.
Along the way, all the group saw were skeletons everywhere, and they were completely accustomed to the atmosphere full of death.
Therefore, when I heard that there were living people besides myself in this endless passage, I was naturally shocked.
"Could it be that a strong person was trapped here not long ago? Who is that person?"
In addition to doubts, a trace of curiosity appeared on Lei Xiao's face, and he immediately ordered: "Keep going, let's go over and have a look."
