1274 Mysteries, Treasure Chamber
"Ahem, ahem, ahemβahem!"
The chaotic sounds of battle and endless shouts continued in his ears, and then suddenly became smaller at some point, and the figure of the gray-robed magician named Linyuan Water Break also burrowed into a narrow ventilation duct, and at the same time let out a violent cough out of breath: "But, damn it, when did my dignified son of fate, the savior of the Empire, and the current representative of the Imperial Investigation Team, suffer such a sin?" β
"You're so weak, big brother." The disgusted voice of the little girl then sounded behind him, accompanied by the Hachi-ha bird who followed him as he climbed forward: "Even Hachi himself can climb so easily, but you look very struggling." β
"Less, less nonsense." So Duan Qing's expression also became ugly: "Lao Tzu has been working hard for such a long time, even the upper limit of the physical strength bar is about to be deducted, and I can't help but give myself a thumbs up if I can make extreme movements like pull-ups under such a chaotic battle." β
"The upper limit of the health bar? What is that? The little girl's expression then became puzzled: "Is it this yellow thing that appears in the upper left corner of Hachi?" β
"Looks like you don't know enough about the game system." Yu stretched his body hard in the vent, and the gray-robed magician, who had recovered some of his strength, then turned his head as well: "Is it because your eldest brother often protects you?" β
"Of course, my eldest brother is very powerful." The petite body drilled forward, and the eight birds came to Duan Qing's arms very easily: "In the past, the eldest brother has been protecting me, he can defeat countless bad people alone, and even this big rock, he can break it with one punch!" β
"It's just that he got separated from Hachi later, and for a while, Hachi lived alone." I don't know if I remembered something from the past, the little girl's expression was a little darker when she was gesturing with her hand: "At that time, Xiaohachi knew how powerful the eldest brother was, and he couldn't do any of the things he did easily." β
"Not anymore." Sensing the change in the other party's mood, Duan Qing sighed and comforted the somewhat sad face of the braided girl in his arms: "Looking at your eldest brother like this, he shouldn't leave you alone...... Belch. β
"With such a narrow ventilation duct, can that guy get in?" After hesitating for a moment in the middle of speaking, he turned back to look at the passage he had just worked so hard to enter: "Won't those people find out?" β
"Don't worry, big brother will protect us and leave safely." The smiling Hachiko then took the lead in crawling towards the front of the passage: "After the eldest brother defeats all those bad guys, he will naturally find a way to find us." β
"If he could knock everyone down, we wouldn't have had to crawl here so hard." Duan Qing sighed and shook his head: "And...... No one knows where this passage leads. β
"It doesn't matter, Hachi and Big Brother are in a team state." Raising his hand to the back, the petite body of the Eight Bird gradually disappeared into the field of vision in front of Duan Qing: "The eldest brother said that as long as he is in a team state, he will have a way to find where Xiao Hachi is, soββ"
"As long as we can find a safe place for our big brother!"
Xi Qing's voice then replaced the sound of fighting in Duan Qing's ears, and it kept ringing in the ears of the two as the two people crawled, and Duan Qing, who felt this tranquility, gradually calmed down his mind, and began to analyze the current situation according to the adventurer map in his hand: "Okay, since that's the case, then let's summarize it first." β
"The first thing that needs to be dealt with is the central furnace...... Uh, no, it's about the magic landmark. β
His brows gradually tightened, and Duan Qing said to himself: "As a dragon clan, Fura's level should also belong to the level of that kind of ancient boss, even in that situation, she should not be easily defeated." β
"The crux of the matter is that she certainly can't beat it." His gaze gradually became distracted, and he seemed to fall into deep thought: "The design of the boss battle must be for the player to use their own hands to achieve the final victory, and the existence of Fura is at best a way to delay time, without the intervention of this dragon, the difficulty of this boss battle in the end must have increased by a hundredfold......"
"So what's the way to victory?"
He took a deep breath and kept his eyes wandering back and forth on the map in his hand: "Looking for more boss-level reinforcements?" Help Fula break the magical confinement? You can't let us players beat that guy with our own hands, right? He doesn't look like an opponent who can be killed by strength. β
"And that sign, what is it for?" His thoughts began to sink deeper and deeper, and the gray-robed magician's brows furrowed tightly: "I finally used the terrain to kill the surrounding dragonman monsters, and solved the occasional enemies by chance, butββ"
"There's still a little bit of information on hand."
Another corner passed in front of Duan Qing's eyes with the movements of the two people in front of him, revealing a partially dim light in the field of vision in front of Duan Qing: "Speaking of which, this place similar to a subway station, and the reason why it was abandoned...... There are just too many mysteries. β
"Hey, does the big brother know that this place is a subway station?"
The voice belonging to the Eight Birds then came from Duan Qing's front, accompanied by the little girl who was holding on the other end of the vent looking back at her little face by the light: "Has the big brother ever taken the subway here?" β
"I have ridden it, but it was also started by someone else's strength." Duan Qing subconsciously replied: "This place should have been in disrepair for a long time, I'm afraid if you want to sit on something like that-"
"Hmm The little face covered with gray and black marks showed an unhappy look, and Yachiniao turned around and put his little hand against the surface of the iron fence in front of him: "The previous eldest brother was too, Xiao Hachiyang begged for so long, but he just didn't agree......"
"He's a warrior-type player, so I'm afraid he doesn't have the magic to activate these devices." Shaking his head with a wry smile, Duan Qing's expression then became wonderful again: "Wait a minute, before you say it?" When was that? β
"Why does the big brother like to get to the bottom of it so much." Yachitori snorted dissatisfiedly, "Let me think about it...... Well, it must have been a few days ago, when Hachi was chasing a group of people with his big brother, and then they sneaked into the vicinity of here......"
"Chasing? Are you in the same group as the people you just did? Duan Qing continued to ask, "They also listen to Yulou?" They've already entered this place? β
"I guess that's the name." Yachiniao's eyes were entangled in hard thinking: "In short, that group of people seems to be the bad guys in the mouth of the eldest brother, and they have to fight everywhere." β
"The eldest brother also told those who were officials about it." Speaking of this, a smile appeared on her face, and her innocent little face then put on a look of fascination: "That's it...... The ...... who always sits in the big rotunda in the middle of the city."
"Pamir?"
Subconsciously saying the name, Duan Qing began to recall the information that Spartak had left in his memory: "If that's the case...... Wait, the battle at that time should leave him with some prestige, that is, it is possible that he has something to do with the Pamirs. β
"But the problem is what happens after that." The gray-robed magician pinched his chin with his fingers, completely unconcerned about how many millennia of dust had been left on his fingers by the long crawling passage: "If Pamir knew everything, then why was he assassinated?" No, is there anything else we don't know about? β
"Big brother, what are you talking about?" Quietly looking at Duan Qing's tightly knit brows, Yachi's voice became cautious: "Did Xiao Hachi say something wrong?" β
"No, nothing." Subconsciously waved his hand, Duan Qing, who was not here at all, replied to the other party: "I'm just thinking about some questions, you can just go your way...... Yes? We're here? β
He looked at the little girl's aggrieved posture with both hands pressing the iron fence in front of her and nodding with her mouth open, scratched her head a little embarrassedly, and then smashed the blockade of the iron fence with her hands in the other party's action of making way for space: "Okay, where are we now?" β
"Big brother doesn't have a map? Then let Hachi confirm it. Appearing behind him in the direction that Duan Qing jumped off, the little girl named Yachiniao looked up her adventurer's manual with a proud face: "Here...... Well, this is probably through this passage, then to the left, and then further onβah! β
"Yes, this is here!" She raised her map and said to Duan Qing as if she was inviting merit: "Do you see, this is this place where 'Treasure Vault' is written!" β
"Is there such a place under the principality?" Staring wide-eyed at the three words that were also displayed on his adventurer's map, Duan Qing's mouth, which was speechless, didn't close for a long time: "What does this mean?" Could it be that Pamir guy also likes to hoard possessions? β
"There's no possessions here." Re-revealing her disgusted expression, the little girl fanned the tip of her nose with her hand: "Xiaoba and Big Brother also searched for a long time when they came here before, but in the end they didn't find any treasures...... Hmph, this country is so stingy! β
"I don't think there's room for 'stinginess' in this country." Shaking his head with a wry smile, Duan Qing began to observe the surroundings of this dim hall: "This place has been abandoned for nearly a few hundred years, I'm afraid even the principalities themselves don't know that there is such a place." β
"But the mystery is getting bigger and bigger." He retracted his gaze, and his contemplative expression resurfaced: "If the style of the subway and station found earlier is obviously contemporary, then the treasure trove in front of you cannot exist at all, and modern people will not build such a thing in a modern city, which is a place that only the imperial dynasty and the imperial family will set up when they are bored...... Well? β
"The ...... of the Empire Dynasty? As if remembering something, his gaze suddenly began to sweep to the left and right ends where he was: "Could it be ...... No way? β
"What's the matter, big brother, have you found any treasure?" The little girl next to her excitedly asked, "What did you find?" β
"-No, I haven't found it yet."
Not finding any clues that could be used to prove it, Duan Qing's gaze slowly retracted: "But this is not enough to overturn my speculation, after all, hundreds of years are enough time to transform everything here into an appearance that no one can recognize, but ......"
"I guess there will be some traces."
Lowering his head and looking at the map that had been recorded in his hand, and then looking back at the direction of the vent he had just drilled out, Duan Qing's face became much gloomy again: "But if this is true, then why did they do this?" Is it because of pure imitation? Or does it have a special purpose? β
"Why?"
Countless information and speculations were intertwined, making the gray-robed magician's expression distorted, and the eyes that kept shaking back and forth became faster and faster with the rapid jump of thought, and finally stopped abruptly because of a sudden light in front of him: "Haha, it's finally brighter." β
I don't know if I didn't understand Duan Qing's words to herself, the little girl named Eight Birds on the side didn't pay attention to Duan Qing's tangled face at this time, she used a lantern containing a magic gem of light magic to illuminate the surroundings here, and then pointed to the surroundings of the hall that gradually became clear and said, "Look, there is no treasure here." β
"Maybe some people are using it as a warehouse." Looking at the scattered tables and chairs that gradually became clear and the empty walls around them, Duan Qing shook his head: "This kind of design has no other use except for storing goods, or ......"
"It used to be a treasure trove, but it was emptied." He took two steps forward, and with the help of the light, his hand checked the ground with his crouched body: "Maybe even the floor has been filled." β
"Really? It's stingy. The little girl who approached pouted dissatisfiedly: "Hey, you go and let them come back." β
"How could I have such a great ability?" Duan Qing replied without raising his head: "And-"
"I warn you that it's not a good sign to have the lights on in a place like this."
As if in fulfillment of Duan Qing's words, the sound of hissing then appeared above the heads of the two people, and the red light emitted by the eyes of the dragon man monster also appeared one by one in all corners and ceilings of this empty hall with the attraction of this white light.
