Chapter Eighty-Four: The Underground Pit
After seeing that Zhao Xu agreed to participate in this mission, the four Maple Leaf, who were already ready to move, also directly raised their hands in favor of participating.
In the end, it was agreed that Roya would go down with three of his henchmen, Hill the Wanderer, Locke the "Expert", and Tempest the Warrior.
The rest, including Zach, were responsible for guarding the smuggled goods at the mouth of the pit.
Zhao Xu and the poet frog conducted a knowledge test and a "knowledge" ability test respectively, but neither of them retrieved anomalous rumors in this area.
The dilapidated marks at the entrance to the mine also indicate that it has been locked down for many years.
This is also the reason why Luo Ya did not bring too many combatants, this kind of dungeon, the greater danger to them is the trap laid inside.
However, everyone still re-received the supplementary equipment and materials from Luo Ya, and Zhao Xu also honestly received 20 arrows for the crossbow.
Maple Leaf, Luo Ya, and Storm all walked ahead and slowly approached the entrance of the pit, and at this moment they all clenched their weapons, and Maple Leaf gestured with the two-handed giant sword he had just received in his hand from time to time.
According to Roya, these weapons lent to them, and whether they could get the secret treasure or not, they were given to them for free.
This also made Zhao Xu think a little, the content relayed by Maple Leaf is basically heard by everyone, only the limited content of the "communication technique" is only known to Luo Ya.
Maybe there is something like that in the content of the message, there is something like that regardless of the cost, otherwise he wouldn't think that these underground forces can be generous to this point, and the 50GP two-handed giant sword will be sent away.
"Demolished?" Maple asked, looking ahead.
At this time, after they formed a team, the leader naturally became Roya.
The mouth of the pit in front of them was nailed by layers of wooden fences, and even an extra layer of canvas was added to it, which, though it had been tattered for a long time, was enough to prevent them from looking through the cracks.
"Smash it. Come over and cut it open with your axe. Roya commanded.
The two attendants who had been ordered to guard the entrance of the pit hurriedly brought axes and cut them on the wooden fence at once.
"Bang, bang."
In a few moments, the wooden fences were broken open enough to pass through a man's opening.
However, both of them continued to dig until the wooden fence was completely cut into blocks and hung down with canvas shavings, and Luo Ya and the others waited for more than ten minutes to ventilate the inside before carrying torches to enter.
The two attendants in charge of the excavation had cleaned up the fallen objects and began to guard the gate, not paying much attention to the faintly illegible spells on the canvas.
The entire team of Luo Ya and Maple Leaf was in the front row, followed by two wanderers, followed by Zhao Xu and other non-melee personnel, and finally finished at the Yuwu Wind Station.
The mouth of the pit is very deep, and there is a lot of crushed ore in the chiseled ground, as well as a few broken hoes.
Suddenly, Rainbow the Wanderer raised his voice, and the torch in his hand was aimed at the natural stone wall, and there was a line of blood-red text on it, which looked a little strange in the light of the firelight.
"Experts? What does that mean? Seeing this, Luo Ya hurriedly shouted.
The font is crooked, but everyone knows that it is not written in lingua franca.
Roya's subordinate, Locke, an expert in the auxiliary profession, stepped forward, and after observing the words on the stone wall with his magnifying glass, he whispered, "This seems to be purgatory, I have to look it up." ”
As he spoke, he began to rummage through his backpack.
"Traveler who strayed, please leave!" Yoyo looked directly at the line of text and said, her face was a little pale, "I have learned the abyssal language, and both the purgatory language and the abyssal language use this kind of purgatory language. ”
Hearing this, everyone who was originally determined in their hearts couldn't help but feel a hair in their hearts.
"Yoyo, you're not mistaken, or is it someone prank?" Wanderer Rainbow asked awkwardly.
Purgatory is the text of the devil and demons, and generally no one except mages and priests is so bored to learn this language.
Even if it was Zhao Xu, among the three additional languages that could be learned, he chose Dragon Language, Heavenly Realm Language, and Elven Language.
Just looking at Yoyo's face, everyone knows that she won't lie on this kind of issue.
"Keep walking, it's just to intimidate some adventurers who have strayed in." Roya said, his face was not good-looking, but he still insisted on carrying out his mission.
The group also continued to move forward in the pit tunnel, which was large enough for four or five people to pass through.
"You chose Abyssal as an extra language for your talent?" Zhao Xu asked the pastor next to him in a low voice.
Generally, the priest's intelligence is not too high, and the choice of additional languages is naturally limited, and it is more like him to choose the heavenly language, after all, this is the common language of the kingdom of God.
Yoyo shook his head, "I'm more interested in language, so I've given 'language' a few points in terms of skill points." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Xu looked at the Youyou in front of him a little higher.
There is already a spell of "fluent language" in the first-level spell, which allows them to recognize languages and words they don't know, so for the sake of combat power, ordinary people rarely cast some language.
Only players who choose a naturally illiterate player like a barbarian will have to vote for "language".
People with only 2 professional skill points like Mage Priest generally do not take the initiative to learn "language" skills, which means that Zhao Xu is a variant of "Monk Priest", so he will have 6 initial career skill points.
Therefore, being able to take out the skills that are not many to learn the language is generally Arthur's enthusiast level, and it is only like this if you want to know everything.
Generally speaking, players with this kind of preoccupation are more likely to reach the top.
Zhao Xu also came out to take risks, experienced the usefulness of spells and knowledge and skills, began to think with the thinking of a mage, and began to realize that some things that could not significantly improve combat power also had a lot of significance.
However, Zhao Xu, the name of Youyou, thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there was no well-known player in his previous life who was called this.
It's the name Maple Leaf, and he can still think of a player named "Red Maple Leaf" in his previous life.
After about five minutes' journey, Zhao Xu and the others walked to the end of the pit tunnel, and their vision suddenly opened up.
In front of the tunnel is a large cavern that has been dug into a large depression, which is also the main excavation site of the former absentees.
Further on, they had to climb to a large platform four or five meters deep, where four or five meters there was a broken mechanical sling hanging from the ground, which the previous miners used to pull the ore from under the platform to the top of the tunnel.
No one knew how long the sling could last, so Luo Ya directly used the hook to find a stone crack at the mouth of the tunnel to fix it, and then slowly hung it down.
After he confirmed the surrounding environment, he asked Zhao Xu and the others above to follow the hook one by one.
It wasn't until the last warrior Maple Leaf also came down, and after Luo Ya counted the number of people, everyone continued to move forward according to the plan.
Just didn't take a few steps, everyone stopped, even Maple Leaf trembled and held the giant sword in his hand.
On the wall they had just hung on, less than five meters apart, at the abandoned mechanical sling, there were several handprints in the corners that had dimmed and turned brown.
It's as if someone was once here desperately trying to climb up.
