Chapter 24: Monsters in the Dark
Is the Manuscript of Fantoth powerful?
Powerful!
There is no doubt about that.
But there is also no doubt about its drawback: it consumes too much!
Signing requires points, skill points, gold skill points, or gold attribute points, and summoning also requires points, skill points, gold skill points, or gold attribute points, even if summoning is only a quarter of the level of signing a contract, it is a great burden for any player.
And, more importantly, evil spirits are restrained by items like holy water!
You must know that such restraint is not a simple restraint, but fatal.
A [Holy Water VIII.] can make the lower evil spirits feel as if they have been exposed to concentrated sulfuric acid, but what about the higher grade holy water?
I'm afraid it will be wiped out directly.
In Qin Ran's guess, even if it is a high-level evil spirit, in the face of the holy water ranked in the top three, or even the top four, I am afraid it will not last long, and it will only be a matter of minutes to be eliminated.
What's more, Elixir VIII.'s is not expensive for advanced players.
Any qualified veteran player will carry such an item with him.
As for the aborigines?
He can easily deal with it, and naturally he doesn't need the help of the contract spirit.
And what he can't deal with?
The help of the contract spirits is necessarily limited.
But even if the [Fan Tosi Manuscript] had many shortcomings, it did not prevent Qin Ran from putting it away.
Because, Qin Ran knows very well that as a lone ranger, he never knows what he will encounter, and one more means is one more insurance.
Especially when this means, in a way, is really powerful, it will naturally not be abandoned.
Of course, he didn't mind experimenting with the exact cost of signing up for the Spirit.
According to the description of the contract spirit, there are different costs because of different methods.
But Qin Ran looked at the evil spirits who surrendered to him, and he had reason to believe that the evil spirits in front of him were probably the easiest and cheapest ones.
However, the strange roar sounded again.
And, this time, the whole ship shook with it.
Bang!
With the sound of cracking, the only remaining wall of the captain's quarters collapsed, and a downward staircase appeared.
"Come on!"
"Come here!"
A slightly old voice that couldn't distinguish between men and women came from under the stairs and sounded in Qin Ran's ears.
Qin Ran didn't notice it, but the 'body' that raised the evil spirits around him became ...... when he heard such a sound Go crazy.
Qin Ran looked at those 'feeders' who kowtowed hard, smashed their foreheads, and their brains flowed to the ground, convulsed constantly, or bit through the arteries of their wrists, allowing the blood to spray like a fountain, except for madness, he couldn't think of any other words to describe.
"This?"
Qin Ran glanced at the battle information, without any hints.
But the scene in front of him told him that something must have happened.
It's something he can't understand.
"Only works against evil spirits?"
Qin Ran guessed.
But Luo Ke on the side made Qin Ran a little suspicious of this speculation.
Roque is also a 'breeder' of evil spirits, but he is not as crazy as the other 'breeders'.
"Could it be that Roque is special?"
After such a thought appeared in Qin Ran's heart, he subconsciously used the [Evil Spirit Contract] against Roque.
Then, looking at the system prompt, Qin Ran was stunned.
[Use the Evil Spirit Contract, determine that the contract spirit level is special, the faction is unknown, the attitude is friendly, the state is good, and the calculation cost is ......]
[Cost: 2 Gold Attribute Points]
[Gold attribute points are insufficient!] 】
[The contract has not been established!] 】
"2 Gold Attribute Points!"
Qin Ran glanced at the numbers in it, and his whole person felt a pain in his flesh.
Although he had already guessed that the cost of the contract demon was not a small amount, he was still surprised when he actually saw the cost required.
"Is it because of the special rank?"
Qin Ran subconsciously glanced at Luo Ke.
The latter looked at Qin Ran in a daze, neither did he understand the response, nor did he dodge, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was holding a long knife in his hand, with a hint of murderous aura, he really seemed to be stupid.
"Come on!"
"Come here!"
The old voice, unable to distinguish between men and women, continued to come from the dark hole below the stairs.
That darkness was obviously supernatural darkness, with Qin Ran's eyesight, he couldn't see what was in it, even if he entered the [tracking] field of vision, it was a blur, and he could only faintly see some shadows and outlines, but this was the limit.
The 'body' that raises the evil spirits around it, except for Roque, has been completely dead in such a voice. Blood flowed from the corpses, converging into a stream on the deck, which had been bumped by the battle, and slowly flowed into the hole.
A moment later, Qin Ran's ears heard the sound of sucking.
It was as if a straw had been inserted into a drink bottle that was about to be empty, and that kind of sound made Qin Ran frown.
Some kind of monster drinking blood already came to his mind.
Also emerging is the auction list.
Or to be more precise, it was the auction list that was of the same value as the [Manuscript of Fantosi] and the strange beast egg that hatched the Hell Demon Spider.
Looking at the stairs in front of him, Qin Ran was sure that this was the staircase that led to the auction hall hidden on the Sunshine Mary, and at the end of the stairs was the auction hall.
The high-value stuff is there.
And, of course, an unknown, powerful monster.
"Is that the secret of the Sunshine Mary?"
Qin Ran muttered to himself in his heart, and looked at the annotation of the side quest [Cruise Ship Shadow]: "If you can find out the secret of the Sunshine Mary, it will greatly improve the clearance evaluation." ’
With such a mark, it has already been decided that Qin Ran will definitely do his best.
Not to mention, there are also valuable items inside.
Any one of them is worth Qin Ran's fight.
Of course, fighting is definitely not a brute force.
A [U-II] grenade appeared in Qin Ran's hand.
As for whether it will damage some high-value items?
Although Qin Ran had the nature of a miser, compared to these high-value items, he valued his life more.
After two seconds of silent reading, the grenade was thrown into the hole accurately.
But nothing happened.
There was neither the explosion that a grenade should have, nor the sound that a grenade should have when it fell down the stairs.
It's as if it's been swallowed up.
Qin Ran frowned.
He casually picked up a piece of miscellaneous items next to him and threw it into it.
Like the grenades that preceded it, it was also silent.
"Trick up!"
Qin Ran could judge that the grenades and sundries that entered the darkness did not disappear, but were only covered by the darkness.
He once possessed a [Ring of Darkness] that could hide light and sound, and he was no stranger to everything in front of him.
Therefore, the next moment, Qin Ran changed his original plan.
He had no effective way to dispel the darkness that obscured the sound and the light.
But if it was just to force out the monsters below and lead them to a relatively fair battlefield, Qin Ran had a very good idea.
Looking at the blood that gathered into a stream, the [Arrogant Words] in his hand snapped and intercepted it.
And, let these blood change direction, and intercept them one by one.
The sound of sucking before was enough to show the importance of this blood to the monster.
Just as Qin Ran expected.
After about ten seconds, a figure gradually broke away from the darkness below the staircase and walked up the staircase.
And when Qin Ran saw this figure clearly, he gasped suddenly.
"How is that possible?!"
Qin Ran exclaimed in his heart.
