Under An Musu's disbelieving gaze, Bai Xiaowen stood up, walked to the slightly worn giant snake statue, and gently turned a piece of snake scale.
The mouth of the giant snake stone sculpture is open.
Bai Xiaowen climbed to the mouth of the giant snake in two steps and put his hand into the mouth of the stone sculpture of the giant snake. He quickly touched a movable wooden pole, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Stop, blasphemer!"
An Musu roared angrily, broke free from the rope, and rushed towards Bai Xiaowen.
Li Shuyi stopped in front of An Musu.
An Musu let out a scream, and Li Shuyi's body suddenly stiffened. An Musu's eyes were cold, and he took out a small dagger from his arms and stabbed Li Shuyi's heart hard.
However, at the same moment, a ray of yellow light was projected down, and Li Shuyi's stiffness was immediately lifted. It was Bai Xiaowen who summoned the Bone Demon Master and cast the Yellow Sky skill on Li Shuyi.
Li Shuyi pursed her lips slightly, unsheathed her swords, and threw herself forward, passing by An Musu. Two fountains of blood shot out.
Anmusu staggered two steps. He was an elite with mental expertise. In close proximity, his control skills did not work, so he was at an absolute disadvantage.
Anmusu muttered words, and a faint green light shone on the tip of the dagger.
Li Shuyi didn't give An Musu a chance. After the two slashes just now, she turned around and suddenly accelerated and started a brutal collision!
At the same time, An Musu's spell was completed, and a green light was projected at Li Shuyi's feet, trying to imprison the opponent.
It's a pity that during the brutal collision, the control of priorities below 5 is ignored, so this skill has no effect. Li Shuyi's brutal collision knocked An Musu away, and then the double blades roared, followed by three consecutive slashes...
"Hateful infidel..."
Anmusu fell, leaving only a silver treasure chest.
Bai Xiaowen had already pulled the movable wooden pole at the mouth of the giant snake, and a roar sounded in the hall. Around the stone seat of the giant snake statue, strips of boulders slowly sank, revealing a slightly eerie entrance to the stepped cellar.
.
There seems to be a faint layer of green light lingering at the entrance of this cellar, making it look very mysterious.
The prompt message of the rules of the spiritual world came:
"You discovered the hidden copy: The Underground Palace of the Snake God."
"Special elite side mission: Scavenger, start."
"Mission goal: Kill the high priest of the Silent Tongue Sect and destroy the Golden Snake Disk."
"Task difficulty: s."
"Mission period: None (equal to the remaining time of your stay in the Ramses plane world)."
"Task reward: Lucky Coin."
[Lucky Coin: Used in the settlement interface of this level, select a trophy prop obtained from this spiritual world adventure, and obtain a copy of it. You need to pay the corresponding power point valuation. If there are insufficient power points, the copy will fail.
, the lucky coins will not be returned. The number of uses is 1/1 and disappears after use.】
[Special Tip 1: The lucky coins can only be used in the settlement interface of this level. If you do not use it and return to the earth world directly, the lucky coins will disappear. 】
[Special Tip 2: This special side mission "Scavenger" and its rewards are confidential information with a confidentiality level of 3. You are not allowed to disclose any information about this side mission to others in any form (unless the other party knows this in advance
information), otherwise you will be punished at Level 3.】
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi looked at each other, and both sides could see the shock in each other's eyes.
"The secret level is 3...level 3 punishment? Can you tell me what the level 3 punishment is?" Bai Xiaowen tried to ask.
The rules of the spiritual world did not respond.
"Xiaowen... I probably know some about the confidential information,"
Li Shuyi said slowly, "From the beginning of the high-level awakened people, there are some specific confidential information that cannot be disclosed to the low-level awakened people, such as the unification of the world and the information about the advancement of the evolutionaries. The confidentiality level of these confidential information is '0'
, if you violate it, you will be punished at level 0, and a sum of power points will be paid according to the importance of the message and the circumstances of the leak."
"And this scavenger mission and its confidential information are actually as high as level 3! Although I don't know what the level 3 punishment is, it's best not to violate it." Li Shuyi concluded.
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that we have encountered some great inside stories when collecting sets this time. I will try to see if I can bring the Egyptian soldiers into this underground palace and continue to use them as cannon fodder for us...
I guess it won’t work.”
Sure enough, Bai Xiaowen tried to let two Egyptian soldiers enter the underground palace of the snake god, but the two were blocked by the thin green light curtain and could not squeeze in no matter what.
"The hidden copy, it seems that only the awakened are allowed to enter." Li Shuyi said.
"That's right."
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said to the two elite Egyptian officers leading the team: "This small temple hides evil secrets. The possibility of the Snake God Sect betraying the kingdom is extremely high. You escort those priests and monks back to Memphis City, here
Just leave it to me."
"Yes, Master Secret Envoy."
After saluting, the two Egyptian officers ordered the soldiers to take away the priests and monks.
In fact, in terms of combat effectiveness, these less than a hundred priests and monks were stronger than a hundred Egyptian soldiers, but they did not dare to resist. Resistance would be a complete betrayal of the Kingdom of Egypt, and there would be no way back.
It was precisely because of this that Bai Xiaowen came with the army. If it were him and Li Shuyi, they would never be able to find the underground palace so cleanly.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi then stepped into the underground palace. Sure enough, this layer of light green light curtain did not cause any hindrance to them. It was like passing through a layer of film. After a slight trance, there was already a line extending downwards in front of them.
The circular staircase is deep and dark.
Li Shuyi has opened An Musu's treasure chest. Unfortunately, this rare elite treasure chest does not give people much surprise. It only drops a blue outfit that is picked up and bound, [Nuge White Robe], which adds 3 points of spirit.
, relatively tasteless.
They walked along the stairs to the bottom, and after turning the corner, they found a deep corridor in front of them.
"This reminds me of the Latent Shadow Maze. However, this tunnel is smaller than the Latent Shadow Maze. I'm afraid it is not suitable for my summoned creature group to fight." Bai Xiaowen said.
"This also means that the enemy cannot use more to attack fewer, which is also beneficial to us." Li Shuyi was very confident, "Where should we go?"
Bai Xiaowen recalled it for a moment, and the three-dimensional structure diagram of the Snake God's Underground Palace flashed in his mind.
"According to the confessions of the priests, the Snake God's underground palace actually has two floors, upper and lower. However, Tia's map only briefly marked the direction of the upper underground palace. It is in this upper underground palace that there are three priests, including Tia.
's name."
"There are three vertical passages in the upper level, and there are horizontal passages connecting the vertical passages. We are now at this end of the central vertical passage, and the rooms where the names of the three priests are located are at the other end of the vertical passage."
"To be on the safe side, let's go to Tia's room first to collect some detailed information about the Silent Tongue, and also understand the difficulty of this hidden copy." Bai Xiaowen said.
Going directly to the two priests, Moai Taihe and Amos, is a reckless approach. Unless there is no way out, Bai Xiaowen rarely chooses to act recklessly.
Not far along the vertical path on the left, Bai Xiaowen led Li Shuyi onto a horizontal path to the right. After walking forward for a while, he took the horizontal path to the right, and then to the left... and went around for a long time.
After that, we returned to the leftmost vertical lane.
Bai Xiaowen's detour like this naturally makes sense. The three vertical roads seem to go straight to the end, but in fact they are all separated by gate mechanisms. On Tia's map, those seemingly simple lines and priestly characters are actually different.
Deep meaning, through the direction of the lines, the correct path is outlined.
Anyone who is not a priest of the snake god Edcho cannot decipher the true mystery of that map. Bai Xiaowen could only read out a few names through online searches.
A considerable part of the difficulty of this hidden dungeon comes from the terrain.
Generally, when awakened people find this hidden copy, they usually enter it secretly. The intricate tunnels alone are a headache, and the soul-eating and life-destroying mechanisms are even more daunting. Before meeting the priest, they have to suffer several waves of frustration.
Bai Xiaowen led the official army, occupied temples and killed people to establish his authority, and then ordered experts to interpret the map. This seemingly useless series of actions directly reduced the terrain difficulty of the hidden dungeon by a large margin.
The only thing in front of the two of them was the artificial difficulty, which was the hidden copy, the Silent Tongue cultists and the priests in the underground palace of the snake god.
About one-third of the way, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi encountered the first wave of believers.
There were only three people in the first wave of believers. They were a small patrol team. There was actually a patrol team in such a remote and hidden underground palace. Bai Xiaowen had to complain about the priest's sense of worry...
The three cultists are all elite templates, with strength, agility and spiritual specialties. The division of labor is very reasonable. There is no need to say more about their respective skills. It is worth mentioning that no matter what kind of specialty the cultist has,
In addition to the three combat skills, there is a general skill.
[The Doctrine of the Silent Tongue lv1: HP increased by an additional 100 points, main attributes increased by 10 points. 】
This extra skill turns three ordinary elites into powerful creatures whose attributes are comparable to those of rare elites!
Many high-level elites have the ability to increase extra health. However, an increase of 10 points in the main attribute is very powerful, which is equivalent to the bonus of two more pieces of gold equipment.
Fortunately, their attributes are only enhanced. In terms of skills, they are still not as powerful as rare elites, so they are not difficult to deal with.
Bai Xiaowen summoned Raging Claw, Skeleton Warrior, and Li Shuyi, and within two minutes, they knocked down three Silent Tongue elite cultists.
"Three silver treasure chests!"
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi were both a little surprised. For their team, it was a normal event for them to kill elites without dropping a treasure box. Normally, these three elites might drop a treasure box, but the result was all
Fall.
"The difficulty of the hidden dungeon has been increased, and perhaps the explosion rate of the treasure chest has also been increased. Open it and take a look."
The combat rating is not high, only D or C level. Fortunately, there are no byes in the three treasure chests, and they have all been shipped.
[Sweet Grass Stem: Food, it can immediately restore 15 health points after eating it. 】
[Juicy lettuce: Food, after consumption, 20% of mental power can be restored immediately, and within 15 seconds, 2% of mental power can be restored every second. 】
[Dried figs: food, which can immediately remove negative status and control effects after consumption. The additional priority of this item is (3).]
Three different kinds of food were pulled out of the three treasure boxes. Li Shuyi was amazed: "All three treasure boxes contained food. Is our luck good or bad..."
"Maybe it's a feature of this hidden copy..." Bai Xiaowen said.
"Are you saying that the monsters in the Snake God's underground palace are all foodies?" Miss Li's thoughts changed very quickly.
"Well……"
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "I don't care if you're a foodie or not, but seeing this juicy lettuce, we have to be careful... maybe the ghost's mana draw won't work so well in this dungeon."
Li Shuyi nodded in deep agreement. Bai Xiaowen glanced at the bad luck bracelet on his left wrist again. The face on it had a serious expression. He felt slightly relieved and continued to move forward.
After walking for a while, the two met a group of Silent Tongue cultists again.
There were a total of 6 cultists who appeared this time. It seemed that two patrol teams were put together temporarily.
Bai Xiaowen called out the butcher to block the position, and the dead bone magician also called out for remote output. In conjunction with Bai Xiaowen's own firearm attack, they fought fiercely and knocked down six opponents again.
This time, six more silver treasure chests were revealed!
Opening the treasure chest, this time three "Sweet Grass Stems" popped out, one "Juicy Lettuce" popped out, and one "Dried Fig" popped out.
In addition, the last treasure chest revealed a new food.
[Dried radish: food, within 10 seconds after eating, restore 2 health points per second. 】
Li Shuyi: "..."
Bai Xiaowen: "... hurry up and hurry up. We have to hurry up."
"Why?" Li Shuyi asked.
"There were six people in the wave just now... I suspect that the number of people in the next wave may reach nine. This dungeon may be a mechanism for increasing difficulty over time," Bai Xiaowen said his guess, "We spent a lot of time exploring the underground palace.
The longer the time goes, the more enemies we encounter and the stronger our strength becomes."
"Are you so perverted?" Li Shuyi said, "Thankfully, you know the map. If it were those awakened ones who don't know the map, it would definitely take more time to run in randomly. How will they get through this dungeon?"
"How can I survive, but..." Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "After all, it is an S-level elite branch, on the same level as the capture of Kusanagi Kyo. In terms of difficulty, it is not much different from the A-level hero branch..."
"As for the increase in the number of enemies, from the perspective of reality, the rules of the spirit world can also provide explanations. For example, the enemy has internal contact information. As time goes by, more and more patrols will know the news of the invasion of foreign enemies and rush over...
...If you delay it for too long, the boss might come over on his own initiative."
