Chapter 101: Arcane Ruins (Part I)
ps: Today's one update.
……
Located in the Tavern of the Black Thorns in Rift City on the border of the Demon Empire, Fina, the dragon who caused Charles's current appearance, was lying on the table in the tavern with a sleeping appearance.
Because the human disturbed her sleep that should have lasted 3 years 5 months ago, Fina has been feeling very unenergetic lately.
It is impossible to enter a state of long-term dormancy again, and short-term sleepiness is constantly coming. This is a very peculiar state of semi-insomnia, and Fina estimates that it will take a few years for her to get better......
Because it was daytime, there were almost no adventurers in the Black Thorn Tavern, so Fina fell asleep happily on the table, the unhappiness of being woken up before May had long been forgotten, and even the trouble of insomnia Fina was already a little used to it.
Fina was lying on the table dreaming at this time, her dream was simple, usually only two or three, and all of them were about silver coins, and today the one in the dream was swimming in the sea of silver coins.
Just as Fina was swimming happily in the sea of silver coins, she was woken up by the tavern's owner, Old Man John......
At this time, Fina was still a handyman at the Black Thorn Tavern, responsible for the Black Thorn Tavern's similar work of serving tea and pouring water and doing chores, so it was common for the tavern owner John to be called.
The reddish eyes opened instantly, and Fina glared angrily at the thin little old man John, who had woken her up from the sea of silver coins.
A trace of dragon power emanated from Fina's body, but she was immediately restrained again, after all, she was here to experience the life of human society.
Feeling Fina's frightening eyes, Old John subconsciously shrunk his neck, but he has been much better in the face of Fina's anger recently, you must know that when Fina's angry expression was first revealed, he collapsed to the ground in fright.
Old John calmed down for a moment, then shouted at Fina, "You... Stare at... What are you staring at, go and wipe the entire tavern table for me, and if you slow down, your wages will be deducted. ”
"Damn little old man, I'll eat you sooner or later......" Fina muttered quietly, flicking her fiery red hair, before standing up and picking up the rag.
Fina quickly wiped the table, and as she wiped it, she thought about it, although she had come to experience human life, but it was really uncomfortable for her to be called on like this.
In fact, Fina had already planned to buy this tavern and become the owner herself, and after a few months of understanding, she already knew that this black thorn tavern of Little Old Man John was very profitable, and it must be very cost-effective to buy it.
But at present, there are two difficulties for Fina, one is that old John has no idea of selling this tavern, and the other is that she is reluctant to spend a lot of money to buy this tavern.
The dragon Fina's heart was very entangled at this time......
……
……
Charles continued digging until dark, when he finally chose to give up digging and accept that the Blade of the Wind was lost......
And Wang Xiaoyu and Ryder just watched for dozens of minutes before choosing to leave, after all, this Charles digging a pit is really monotonous and meaningless, Wang Xiaoyu estimates that the biggest gain of this Charles digging pit may be to dig a well because of this.
Wang Xiaoyu and soon flew a few kilometers away with Redhead to start eating and resting, and Redhead Ryder's blood and injuries also completely recovered to full value in the process of eating.
The sword that Charles threw into the sky was powerful and exploded in the sky.
However, perhaps Ryder has [high-level flame resistance] in the form of the Crimson Mantis, and Charles's second sword is actually not as high as the damage of the first sword cutting off Ryder's head, but it only makes Ryder lose 30% of his HP, and Ryder also successfully escaped with the last remaining 2% of his HP, and completely threw Charles off under Wang Xiaoyu's response.
Wang Xiaoyu also obtained a hero-level weapon, a slender silver long sword, there is nothing special about the sword body, it is very simple, but it gives people a very sharp feeling. Not only that, Wang Xiaoyu could feel that this long sword contained a huge amount of wind energy.
Wang Xiaoyu also deduced that this sword was heroic-level based on the huge wind energy in this sword body.
This sword possessed Charles's spiritual imprint, and he couldn't erase Charles's spiritual imprint before Wang Xiaoyu reached the mortal level, so he could only activate one-third of the power of this transcendent weapon at present.
However, one-third of the power of the transcendent weapon is already very powerful, although Wang Xiaoyu does not know swordsmanship, but his combat skills are still very superb, and it is easy to stimulate the wind energy in this sword.
Not only that, this sword also has one of the most important effects for Wang Xiaoyu, that is, this sword can easily shred ordinary metal, so that he can swallow a large amount of metal debris even if he does not have a potion to dissolve metal.
The shredded metal slag doesn't upset his stomach, and it also allows him to digest the metal faster.
You must know that the experience gained by eating metal is a little higher than that of a warrior-level monster corpse of the same weight, and the only drawback is that it is difficult to digest, and with this extraordinary weapon, Wang Xiaoyu can now devour a large amount of metal......
……
After eating and resting, Wang Xiaoyu and Ryder came to the outskirts of Jean Village again, and the fire in Gene Village that Ryder had set had been extinguished by the villagers.
What Wang Xiaoyu was preparing at this time was a second plan to find the arcane ruins that would delay a little longer.
In fact, there is not only one way to find arcane ruins, Wang Xiaoyu has prepared many sets of battle plans before coming to Jien Village, and the previous one is only the most time-saving and efficient method.
Because of the existence of Charles, a mortal-level swordsman, what Wang Xiaoyu has to do now is the safest way, that is, to dig a tunnel from a hidden location outside the village, and dig directly from outside the village to the inside of the village, so that he can find the arcane ruins unknowingly.
It's just that this kind of excavation has obvious drawbacks, that is, it takes too long.
After all, it's not just about digging out the passage, but if you pile the excavated soil at the mouth of the cave to form a hill, it will definitely form a huge flaw, and it will be difficult not to arouse suspicion.
Digging out the excess soil, Wang Xiaoyu must be transported to a secret location through the space pocket and the universal Rubik's Cube, so it will take a lot of time to go down like this.
Found a slightly hidden location, Wang Xiaoyu quickly began to excavate, using the sharpness of the [Vampire Claw], Wang Xiaoyu dug relatively quickly in this soil, and because he had [Severed Limb Regeneration] Wang Xiaoyu didn't have to worry about his claws becoming dull, so the efficiency of excavation would not decrease.
[Magic Energy Perception] was activated by Wang Xiaoyu from time to time, probing the obstacles in the soil, although the [Magic Energy Perception] can be seen through, but the obstacles of the soil will greatly reduce his detection distance, but Wang Xiaoyu can still detect the distance of three or four meters.
Sending red-headed crickets to reconnoitre, Wang Xiaoyu dug underground and tried to avoid the mortal-level swordsman in the village, after all, it was an immortal-level existence, Wang Xiaoyu still decided to be careful.
……
Seven days passed quickly, during which Wang Xiaoyu was promoted to level 28, [Magic Energy Perception] Because of Wang Xiaoyu's frequent excitation, the perspective distance was increased from four meters to six meters, and on this day, Wang Xiaoyu finally found a different location.
At a depth of 40 meters above the ground, in the upstream, under the stream of Jien Village, Wang Xiaoyu's [Magical Energy Perception] detected an unknown obstacle similar to a wall, which should be the location of the arcane ruins......
