The secret passage discovered by Chu Lingfeng can be said to have taken no effort at all. 【Chinese Net. Starters】
The half-dragon man blasted the iron door before, and was knocked away by Li Qingyi's hammer, hitting the wall next to him, knocking out a gap in the wall in one fell swoop. Looking through the gap the size of a human head, you can see a long corridor.
The secret passage here is obviously originally organized. It's not just a civil machine, it's a magic mechanism.
It's just that the magic array system in the entire dungeon has all lost energy. As a result, the magic mechanism at the entrance of the secret passage was ineffective, and it was only then that the heavy iron door was broken.
I have to say that the luck of Li Qing and others is quite good.
"Now it's almost certain that this is what the vampire is looking for." Li Qing observed the gap in the wall for a while, clenched his fists, and slammed into the wall.
Rumble! The battering ram bombarded the gates with a heavy bang, and the half-foot-thick stone walls were filled with rubble and smoke. Under Li Qing's heavy punches, the gap the size of a human head quickly expanded into a large hole large enough for people to enter and exit.
Standing in front of the entrance of the cave, looking at the deep corridor, Li Qing exhaled softly and walked into the corridor first. Chu Lingfeng entered, and a group of elves such as Philene El and Federer also entered without hesitation.
There was no light source in the corridor, and it was pitch black. The elven mage Federer cast a spell of light, creating a fist-sized opalescent ball of light that hovered above his head and illuminated the path ahead.
Under the soft white light, Li Qing took the lead and strode forward.
Although he didn't know where the road led to, in Li Qing's mind, there were at least two possibilities: one was to lead to the outside of the vampire castle, and the other was to lead to a place where treasures were hidden.
Judging from the previous situation where the vampire arranged for the orc to look at the wind, the latter is more likely - if he wants to escape through the secret passage and leave the vampire castle, then the vampire doesn't need to arrange people to look at the wind, and just escapes with his men. Only by taking advantage of the chaos to steal treasures can it be necessary to arrange for people to watch the wind.
Although for Li Qing and the others, the top priority is to escape from the vampire castle, it doesn't really matter if they can find the treasure - if they can't escape from the vampire castle, Li Qing and they will only be caught by the vampire again. The treasures found can't be saved, and they will be slowly sucked dry by vampires like that half-dragon man.
But Li Qing: They have no other choice now. There are too many powerful auras in the chaotic battle outside, and even if Li Qing has now been promoted to a level and become a powerful black knight, he still can't let him protect himself in the chaotic battle.
It is not possible to protect himself, let alone escape with Chu Lingfeng and the elves.
Therefore, Li Qing and the others can only go to unknown places to explore now to see if they can find a way out of it.
Li Qing took Chu Lingfeng and the elves and walked quickly in the dark and damp corridor. After a few tens of meters, a corner appeared ahead. Turning the corner, there are several steps up the road. Looking at those steps, Li Qing secretly sighed in his heart: "Sure enough, it's not a secret passage to leave the vampire castle......"
The Vampire Castle is built on a hill, and if you want to leave the Vampire Castle as an escape route, the steps around the corner should go down. Now the steps are facing upward, proving that the road is a secret way to a high place, and it cannot be a secret way to escape.
Although I guessed early on that this passage might not be an escape route, there was at least a little hope before it was really confirmed. Now, the last bit of hope has been shattered.
Shaking his head, taking a deep breath, and dispelling the disappointment and regret in his heart, Li Qing cheered up, stepped on the steps, and said to himself in his heart:
"It's good to find treasures. Even if you can't escape at the end, at least you can open your eyes. If it's unpleasant, Lao Tzu can still destroy the vampire's treasure, let out a bad breath, and avenge himself! Besides, if you can find some powerful weapons, you might even be able to pull a few more vampires on their backs! ”
When you step up the stairs, you still have the same path ahead. Li Qing and the others continued to move forward, and after walking a few dozen meters, another corner appeared, and then there were several steps up to the head. In this way, they kept moving forward, constantly turning, and after walking through more than a dozen corners, Li Qing and the others finally came to the end of the road.
At the end of the corridor are two closed brass gates. The door was unlocked, but carved with a six-pointed star-shaped magic array.
"Magic locks?" The elven mage Federer looked at the six-pointed star-shaped magic array and muttered, "You have to use a magic code to open it!" ”
The magic lock formed by the magic array is, of course, not something that can be opened by a random magician.
Each magic lock has a special magic code, which can only be opened with specific spells and gestures. Some are more high-end, and they also require special materials, equipment, and even blood.
Although the elven mage Federer is a mage, he can't open this door.
"I don't think it needs to be that much trouble." Li Qing smiled, walked to the door, put his hands against one of the door panels, and pushed hard, and the two brass doors burst open.
Standing in front of the open gate, Li Qing looked back at the stunned elven mage, and said with a smile: "That low-level vampire who doesn't know magic just now dared to fight the idea of here, it can be seen that he knows that the door here can't stop him." See, it's true, the magic circle in the entire dungeon is all out of service, and this one is no exception. ”
With that, he walked through the door.
As soon as he entered the gate, Li Qing narrowed his eyes and his heart beat wildly.
Behind the gate, there is a spacious stone room, no less than 100 square meters. The four walls are inlaid with rows of crystals that emit a soft white light, illuminating the stone chamber as bright as day. On the ground, there are large piles of gold. There are gold coins, gold nuggets, gold cups, golden bowls, golden basins, gold plates, golden helmets, golden armor, golden swords, and golden swords......
Various gold artifacts are piled up like a hill, emitting a soft golden glow under the white light emitted by the hedrons. Some gold products are also inlaid with colorful gemstones, which bloom in a colorful and alluring color.
Seeing so much gold, almost no one can remain calm. Even the elves who came in after Li Qing stayed where they were. And Chu Lingfeng, who has always been indifferent to money and wealth, was also slightly stunned, and only then said in an admiring tone: "I'll take it, it's a lot of gold!" It's the first time I've seen such a scene when I've grown so big! ”
Chu Lingfeng's voice brought Li Qing, who had lost his mind, back to his senses. He took a few deep breaths, suppressed his frantic heartbeat, moistened his throat with saliva, and said, "It's really a big scene." I never dreamed of it......" Having said that, Li Qing, who came back to his senses, did not have much excitement in these two sentences.
Although there was a lot of gold, he couldn't transport it. His small storage bag, the size of a suitcase, had to make room for the fruit of the Ancient Tree of Life, and could only take a limited amount of gold.
The most important thing is that no amount of gold has to be enjoyed. If he can't escape the vampire castle, then he can't even take a single gold coin with him. Piles of gold are in front of you, and you can just get by.
The elves also thought about their own situation at this time. And they have one more layer of worry than Li Qing, that is, the outside world is already in the last days, with the current situation in the Calondo Continent, there is almost not much of gold's monetary function left, and it is not considered to be rich if you pick up a mountain of gold.
Of course, in addition to its monetary function, gold is also a very good magical material. It can be used to set up permanent magic circles, craft magic equipment, and so on. In general, even in the last days, gold is still useful for spellcasters.
"Damn vampires." Ninety-eight-year-old elf Lori Heriss clenched her little fist and said with anger on her face: "A lot of this gold is stolen from our tribe!" So saying, she ran to the pile of gold, picked up a belt of gold wire encrusted with seven emeralds and a large number of blue diamonds, and said, "Now, this belt is what my mother left me!" ”
"I also saw the gold plate I fed to the cats." Druidfleen El touched her chin and said, "I didn't feel much when I saw gold before. I didn't expect so much gold to be piled up together, but it could give people such a big shock...... Vampires are really hateful, they robbed our tribe of so much gold, and put it here for a show......"
The elven tribe has accumulated for hundreds or thousands of years, and it is naturally extremely magnificent, like Feline El, who can feed cats with gold plates.
It's just that the gold in the elven tribe is scattered, and the elves have never seen such a scene. After the vampires attacked the elven tribe, the wealth of the elves was naturally robbed by the vampires, and the gold accumulated by the vampire clan was piled up, resulting in such a shocking local tyrant scene.
However, although there are many gold and gems here, there is not a single silver product, which makes Li Qing's plan to find silver to fight the vampires in vain.
Come to think of it, although silver is also a symbol of wealth, it is highly poisonous to vampires, and it is naturally impossible to put it in the treasury.
"Was that vampire here to steal gold and gems?" Li Qing muttered to himself, shook his head again, and replied to himself: "No." That vampire couldn't have risked it for gold. ”
A mere golden gem is not worth the risk of that low-level vampire. With the current situation on the Calondo continent, what use can there be with more gold and gems?
"Whether it is the troubled times or the last days, the most important thing is always the strength of the force! With strength, you can find food, defeat the enemy, and survive......"
Muttering to himself, Li Qing's gaze focused on the wall of the stone room. On each of the three walls, there is a brass door. Behind those three brass gates, there was probably what the low-level vampire wanted.
"What is it? Is it a magic item? Or do you eat a natural treasure that can improve your strength? Walking to the brass gate on the left wall, Li Qing pushed the door open with full expectation.
