Just when Shadow Blade started to return, Xue Hua still didn't know that a killer had been looking for him in the oasis outside for half a month.
He was currently looking at a round stone arch-like thing in front of him in a daze.
More than ten minutes ago, when Xue Hua handed over the defense mechanism of the Horadric Cube to Abathur to disarm, he thought of the second secret room hidden here.
Abathur opened both secret rooms at once, and Xue Hua was lucky enough to enter the secret room containing the Horadric Cube.
So since this secret room is a place similar to a storage room or an exhibition room, what will be in the other secret room?
While there was still some time, Xue Hua asked the infected person to control the sandworm queen and move him to another secret room.
As a result, as soon as he entered the secret room, he saw the circular stone arch in front of him, and this was the only stone arch in the entire secret room.
What is this?
What rare piece of cat-people art?
Xue Hua came closer and looked at the exquisite carvings on the arch that clearly had a cat-man style, and his mind was filled with questions.
The arch is about two meters high and is made of ordinary sandstone.
But on the doorposts on both sides of the arch, there are many empty grooves. These grooves should have been inlaid with something, but now these things are gone.
Could it be that the alien is actually an antiquities thief?
Is it possible that you came here to steal cultural relics?
Isn't this too funny?
It's just a stone door. It doesn't even have a door leaf. What's there to be worried about?
Xue Hua's mind was full of speculations, and he felt that the "terrible" mentioned by the cat people suddenly collapsed in his mind...
Ahem, okay, I know this is impossible after thinking about it, but what on earth is this?
Is it actually worth that guy opening a secret room for it?
"Master, I sensed a very weak psychic aura residue on this object, and judged that it might have once been a psychic artifact, but it has now been damaged."
Just when Xue Hua was puzzled, Isa's words in the main nest's mind made his eyes light up.
Psychic aura remains?
Arch shape?
Vacant groove?
No, is it such a cliched plot?
He raised the corners of his mouth and stared at the stone arch with gleaming eyes. He felt that it looked like a portal.
Then, he quickly took out a broken ruby from the inventory and stuffed it into the empty grooves.
"Hmm...no, it seems too small, and the shape is wrong..."
Xue Hua frowned and took out the gems from the grooves. These grooves were too big for the broken gems.
"Then try this!"
He quickly took out a cracked purple gemstone and put it into the groove again. However, the cracked gemstone was still a whole circle smaller than the groove.
"Grooving! Do you need a complete gem to activate it?" Xue Hua stared at the arch in front of him with wide eyes, and then carefully counted the number of grooves on the arch.
After counting, he couldn't help but swallow hard...
There are a total of 24 grooves on the arch. If all of them were activated with complete gems, it would probably take a lot of money from his family to do it.
In reality, the gems dropped by professionals from monsters are similar to the grades in the game. They are composed of five grades: fragmented, cracked, complete, flawless and perfect.
The value of each of these five grades of gemstones is also different. Not to mention the slight price difference between gemstones of various colors, the difference in value between gemstones of different grades is much greater.
The price of a broken gem is about 3,500 to 4,000 gold coins, while a cracked gem costs more than 8,000 gold coins.
Complete gems are more expensive, costing 17,000 gold coins each.
Before leaving, Xue Hua went to Warev and sold all the previous trophies at a good price. His current net worth is probably more than 250,000 gold coins. If you add the trophies he currently has on his body, use complete gems to activate this
The portal should be somewhat cosine.
But he didn't know, after paying such a huge price, whether what was behind the portal was worth the price...
After all, this is his wife~
You don't want to take such a prodigal and spread it out casually...
How about finding a way to get Farah and Drognan to make up for this hole?
Just tell them the Serpentine may be behind the portal...
I believe that with the Horadric Cube he is about to bring back as proof, Farah and Drognan will believe his words, right?
wrong!
No, no!
This will make it even more unclear when the ancient tomb of Tarasha is opened!
Hey... Sure enough, it's still coming out... Wait... I remember... shouldn't all complete gems be square?
But these grooves are all round?
In reality, powerful gems are all exploded from monsters, and their shapes are similar to those in the game. Not to mention the broken gems, they are all irregularly shaped gem fragments.
Starting from the cracked gem, the shape is roughly the same as in the game.
Therefore, complete gems are all square and square, but now the grooves that Xue Hua sees are all round...
This gave him some ominous premonitions.
Xue Hua hesitated for a few seconds, and then took out a complete emerald from the inventory. This was the only complete emerald on his body. He accidentally picked it up from the loot pile after the battle against the Sandworm Queen.
When he arrived, he didn’t know which immortal gave him this breath of European air~~
He took the gem and put it to the edge of the groove and made a few gestures, and then his face turned pale.
Even the complete gemstone looks completely smaller on these grooves, not to mention that the shape doesn't match at all!
In Xue Hua's impression, the only round gemstones of this size...are "flawless" gemstones.
That’s hard currency worth close to 3,000 gold coins each!
The value of one of these is almost comparable to some low-level dark gold equipment!
Now you want him to use this gem to open this portal?
Is there a gem grassland or a golden cave behind this door?
Is this the work of a cat person?
It must be something from the Ear Tribe!
Can you still be so luxurious even though you are on the run?
Xue Hua gasped and looked at the stone arch fiercely, just like an old serf who had been exploited for many years looking at a fat landowner, his eyes were full of irreconcilable hatred between class struggle...
.
Fortunately, these grooves are not drop-shaped, otherwise Xue Hua would probably be so excited that he would have to dismantle this crap...
"Okay...don't be angry, don't be angry, life is just a drama, get angry and get sick...what is this?"
Xue Hua grabbed the arch door beam with one hand and was calming his mind while reciting an angry song, when he suddenly touched a strange-shaped groove in his hand.
He stretched his head up to take a look, and saw that the groove was right on the top of the door beam and was covered by a protruding relief, so he didn't notice it just now.
Moreover, the shape of this groove is also very wrong. It is neither round like other grooves, nor is it the drop-shaped shape of a perfect gem. Instead, it looks...like the shape of an eagle spreading its wings?
But why does this eagle have an extra pair of wings?
Three more heads?
...etc!
Isn't it the gemstone decoration?
Xue Hua was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out the gemstone ornament from the inventory and placed it on the groove.
With a "click" sound, the patterns and grooves were perfectly combined.
"It's true!" Xue Hua rolled his eyes and was about to reach out to dig out the pattern again when he suddenly felt a blue light swirling around the stone arch next to him.
"Master, please leave this artifact, its psychic level is rising..."
Isa reminded her in the main nest mind, and Xue Hua quickly let go of his hand and took two steps back.
"Isn't it? It's activated?"
He stared at the stone door wrapped in blue light with wide eyes, still a little unbelievable in his heart.
Is it so easy to start?
And just when the blue light on the stone door reached its peak, and he was about to enter it to find out, the blue light that had turned into a light curtain suddenly shattered into light spots all over the sky with a crisp "pop" sound.
At the same time, Isa also reported a real-time psychic monitoring report in the main hive mind.
The report shows that the psychic level on this stone arch is declining rapidly.
"Sure enough, it's not that simple..." Xue Hua shook his head helplessly, muttered, and then walked forward, preparing to remove the gemstone decoration on the arch.
The moment he reached the edge of the arch, a burst of colorful light burst out from the position of the gemstone decoration. Then, a light curtain was cast from the position of the gemstone decoration, forming a figure wearing a linen cloak beside Xue Hua.
With a cane in his hand, he looks very old...Catman!
