Chapter 514: It was almost a group annihilation
Li Qing and Nelson, who is good at trapping, take the lead, and the two enter the entrance of the ruins side by side.
Wendy followed, casting an illumination spell that created a milky white ball of light that floated overhead to illuminate the team. Then came Nottingham, Groyin, and Chili the Minotaur was the last.
Not long after entering the cave, Li Qing found traces of artificial trimming on the ground.
Wendy also noticed this, and said happily, "There are traces of artificial trimming!" Looks like you've come to the right place. β
"Don't be happy, watch your step." Li Qing reminded.
Maybe it hadn't been walked on for years, and the ground was very wet, mossy and slippery. Li Qing and other powerful warriors will not slip lightly, and if Wendy, a mage, is not careful, he may fall if he is not careful.
"Got it, I'll take notice." Wendy grinned and stuck out her tongue.
The crowd marched unhurriedly, and Nelson kept an eye on his surroundings and beware of traps. But fortunately, along the way, I didn't encounter any traps.
Come to think of it, if this place is really an ancient ruin, then ordinary traps, after a long time, should have failed. Even if it's a magic trap, most of the mana should be lost and it won't function.
So the fact that there were no traps along the way is really not something to make a fuss about.
The cave was zigzag, all the way down, and Li Qing and his party walked for a full hour before finally reaching the end of the cave.
At the end of the cave is a man-made stone chamber, boxy. On one wall, a black door is inlaid with a cold metallic sheen reflected by the glow of the illuminated light ball.
Seeing the black door, Wendy was overjoyed: "There is a door!" Haha, there is a door! Find the gate of the ancient ruins! β
If there is a door, it means that this is indeed an artificial building, which means that the matter of ancient ruins can basically be determined.
"This door looks new, there is no rust at all, it doesn't look ancient...... said the minotaur.
"The remains of a magician, it is normal to be immortal for a thousand years." Wendy said disapprovingly, "Let's try to open this door now." β
"This door has a lock." Nielsen, a lock-picking professional, touched the keyhole of the door, and leaned on the keyhole to observe it carefully for a while, and suddenly his face changed slightly, and he was surprised: "This lock...... How is this lock elf style? β
"Elven style?" Wendy was stunned and muttered, "Could it be the remains of an elven mage?" Nelson, can you tell which era this lock is in? β
"It's an elf-style lock." Nelson reiterates: "What the Elf Lock was a thousand years ago, it is the same now." Therefore, I can't judge the age of the lock by the shape of the door lock. All I can say is that this lock hasn't been opened in a long time. β
Wendy frowned, distressed for a while, and suddenly slapped her forehead: "Oh, why do you want to do so much?" Nelson, let's unlock the lock first. β
"Okay." Nelson nodded, and told the crowd, "There are no traps in this stone room, but not behind the door. So when I open the lock, you stay away at the end and get ready for defense. β
After everyone retreated to the corner of the stone room and took precautions, Nelson rubbed his hands and prepared to open the lock.
I saw him take out a set of delicate lock-picking tools, then put a probe into the keyhole, and put his ear next to the keyhole, gently playing with it, while listening intently.
After a while, Nelson changed tools and repeated his previous move. After a while, Nelson's brow furrowed slightly, and he changed jobs. After a while, Nelson's brows became tighter and tighter, and he continued to change tools, and finally beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, but the black door remained motionless, and there was no click of the door lock opening from the keyhole that everyone expected.
Half an hour later, Nelson sighed, put away his tools, turned to spread his hands to the crowd, and said with a look of shame: "This lock is too complicated, and it is not an ordinary mechanical lock, I suspect it may be a mechanical and magical hybrid lock." And I don't know anything about magic, and if it's a mixture, I can't unravel it anyway. β
"I'll do it anyway."
The Minotaur strode forward and said with a smile: "When technology doesn't work, you have to rely on brute force!" β
With that, he grasped the handle of the axe with both hands and raised his wheel axe above his head, "Everyone, please cover your ears, the next sound will be harsh!" β
After that, the minotaur ran through his arms, and a pair of arms as thick as ordinary thighs had green tendons bulging up, and the muscles were like iron. Then he exhaled and slashed.
The giant axe collided with the black gate, splashing a series of dazzling sparks, colliding with a deafening loud noise, echoing repeatedly in the small stone chamber, shaking everyone to roll their eyes.
However, the Minotaur's all-out axe, although it was powerful, failed to shake the black gate at all. There wasn't even a streak on the black door.
"How is that possible?" Minotaur Qili stared at the bull's eye wide, looked at the unscathed and motionless black gate in disbelief, and then looked at his wheel axe, and found that the blade of his big axe had shattered a corner: "My axe has collapsed, and this door doesn't even have a mark!" My God, what exactly does it do? β
Shocked, the minotaur was quite unconvinced, raised the big axe again, gritted his teeth and said, "I still don't believe that I can't move it!" β
"Chili, don't waste your efforts." Nottingham stopped Chili and said, "I'm afraid this door can't be opened by brute force." β
Chili spewed out two white gases from his nose, blew the nose ring on his nose with a whining sound, and said in a humming voice, "Then what should I do?" If you can't open the door, how can you enter the ruins? β
"yes, how do you get into the ruins?" Everyone frowned, thinking hard about what to do.
"By the way, Wendy, would you fossilize this spell of mud?" Li Qing suddenly thought of an idea and said to Wendy, "Even if you don't know this spell, you should have a scroll with fossils of mud, right?" β
"Fossils as mud? I'll look for it. Wendy rummaged through the storage rings for a while, and found a dozen scrolls that were fossilized as clay. She took out the scrolls one by one and said, "Well, these are all fossilized clay scrolls, fourteen in all. β
Li Qing was already surprised by Wendy's messy style, and said, "It shouldn't be as many as fourteen scrolls." Now, Wendy, you use the scroll to turn the stone wall next to the gate into dirt, and then we can make a hole directly around this gate. β
"Hey, that's true!" Wendy was overjoyed at first, then shook her head in annoyance: "Such a simple idea, why didn't I think of it before?" β
Just as he was about to activate the scroll spell, Li Qing suddenly said, "Don't rush to cast the spell first. This gate is so weird, maybe there are some anti-magic measures. There may even be countermeasures. So Wendy, before you cast a spell, you have to be prepared to defend yourself. β
With that, Li Qing walked up to Wendy and said, "It's best to have someone around to protect you." β
Wendy was as good as a stream, first blessed herself with a series of defensive spells such as stone skin and anti-magic force field, and then prepared to open the scroll. And the Nottingham Four, like Li Qing, surrounded Wendy and protected her.
The direction of the key defense is where the gate is located, and Li Qing and Qili form a double line of defense.
When ready, Wendy took a deep breath and chanted to activate the scroll, casting fossils into mud on the stone wall next to the gate.
The spell fell on the stone wall, and the solid stone wall turned into dirt in an instant.
"It worked!" Everyone was overjoyed when they saw this, but before they could release their joy, they saw that the stone wall that had just turned into dirt flashed and turned back into a stone wall. Not only did it turn back into a stone wall, but the entire stone wall where the gate was located suddenly emitted a silver light. Then a fist-sized droplet-shaped silver magic missile roared out from the stone wall, and it rained down on everyone in front of the door.
A magic missile, if it hits the vital point, can kill an ordinary person lightly. And for a strong man like Li Qing, a magic missile hitting him is only equivalent to an ordinary person taking a punch, and he can basically ignore this kind of Cheng DΓΉ's damage.
However, the damage of one magic missile can be ignored, but what about a hundred? What about a thousand?
An ordinary person who is beaten with a hundred punches or a thousand punches must have only one end, that is, to be beaten to death.
Li Qing was hit by one hundred and one thousand magic missiles without dodging without dodging, and that was almost a dead end.
And now, the magic missiles that erupted from that stone wall were not only a hundred, a thousand? That's a thousand!
Thousands of missile storms have been bombarded continuously, not to mention Li Qing, these people in the stone room, one is counted as one, and they will all be bombarded to the scum!
Perhaps only Wendy, who has a lot of money and countless scrolls, may have survived.
Therefore, seeing the rain of thousands of magic missiles coming in an overwhelming manner, a look of despair flashed in everyone's eyes except for Li Qing.
But despair is despair, and no one will be tied. Nottingham, Groin, and Nelson shouted angrily and activated the knight's bloodline, and Chili roared to start the wild madness and hold the wheel axe to his chest.
But at this moment, a heartbeat like a war drum sounded, and a cloud of pitch-black demonic energy erupted.
However, it was Li Qing who launched the Nightmare Super Demon Body Transformation - it was he who used fossils as mud scrolls to bypass the gate, and now he provoked a counterattack, of course, he had to solve it.
And under the bombardment of thousands of magic missiles, if he wants to save everyone, Li Qing has only one way, that is, to transform into a nightmare super demon body.
So he decisively transformed. Then he used the huge nightmare super demon body to block in front of everyone.
Even with the strength of the Nightmare Super Demon Body, being bombarded by thousands of magic missiles in a row, the taste was extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, in the state of the Nightmare Super Demon Body, his physique increased by three times, which made Li Qing's endurance, defense, and recovery power increase to Cheng DΓΉ, who far surpassed that of the dragon.
Therefore, although these thousands of magic missiles blasted Li Qing to the point that his leather armor was torn, his flesh and blood flew sideways, and even his bones and tendons were broken, they failed to kill him in the end.
And as long as he didn't die on the spot, then within the five minutes that the Nightmare Super Demon Body lasted, the injury could recover at a super fast speed.
Under the cover of Li Qing, Nottingham and others, who thought they would not be spared, were safe and unharmed.
And when the missile storm that lasted for half a minute stopped, Li Qing took three minutes to recover from his injuries, and when he recovered to his peak state, he did not hesitate to transform the right arm of the demon body into a sledgehammer, and slammed into the black gate with a transcendent skill "Broken Yue".
The nightmare super demon body with a threefold increase in all attributes, plus the extraordinary skill Breaking Yue, under one blow, it can be said that it really has the ability to break the mountain.
Therefore, after this hammer was slammed, the black gate that had stumped everyone for a long time, and even almost led the team of dragons and beauty adventurers to collapse, finally completely collapsed!
