Veronica's class skills quickly came in handy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"According to my observations, the entire ruins can be divided into five areas, each corresponding to a building complex, and theoretically, no matter which area you enter the ruins, you can eventually reach the heart of the temple."

Drawing a simple map on the sand, Veronica highlighted a few locations and continued: "Unfortunately, the temple has been badly damaged, most of the facilities are buried deep underground, and the access door has been cut off, but only this area is basically intact and is the only way for us to enter the ruins. ”

Roland, Lyudmila, and Bloom gathered around her, listened to her analysis, and looked together at a closed door.

The bronze gate was inlaid with a hideous dragon head, which had been eroded for thousands of years without a trace of patina, the dragon's head was painted green with an unknown dye, and two dark green jadeites were inlaid in the eye sockets, which made Bloom's hands itch, and he wanted to pry the gem off, but Veronica dissuaded him.

"This is the only gateway to enter the inside of the temple, and it can only survive to this day thanks to the blessing of magic, if it is damaged and the gate is sealed, I am afraid it will be difficult to enter again."

Bloom retracted his hand in a daze, and when he looked down, he inadvertently noticed a dentation, and his eyes lit up: "Look, there seems to be a tunnel here." ”

Roland took a closer look, and as he had said, a secret tunnel had been carved out under the gate, less than a foot in diameter, into which only very thin creatures could squeeze in.

"This should be a passage for kobolds to get in and out of the excavation for convenience." Roland guessed.

Veronica took out a bundle of steel wire from her tool kit, stretched it into the tunnel, and then pulled it out to see that the wire was twisted and deformed in many places, showing that the tunnel was rugged and curved, and the length was also incalculable.

The size of the people was obviously not able to penetrate this small cavern, and the tunnel was carved into a solid rock layer, which made it difficult to widen, so it was better to try to open the gate above.

"We followed Nero and the others all the way to this gate, and since there are no signs of violent damage on the door, how did Nero and the others pass through this gate?" Bloom asked, confused.

Roland shook his head, "It's incomparable, don't forget that Nero is a warlock, he only needs a 'shrinking spell' to easily pass through the narrow passage under the door, but unfortunately we don't have an arcane spellcaster here."

"There's no 'shrinkage' scroll prepared either." Veronica is in charge of the entire group of scroll assets, and after rummaging through the scroll boxes, she comes to a disappointing conclusion.

"Could it be that the caster is superior to others, and people can only hug the caster's thigh when they encounter problems?" The dwarf was furious.

Veronica looked at him sympathetically, and the look in her eyes seemed to say: "Child, you have finally grown up and realized how cruel this world is to ants who have no ability to cast spells."

Lyudmila didn't accept her fate, she took the battering ram and strode towards the stone gate, Roland hurriedly pressed her shoulder, "Don't rush to break the door, let Roni search it first to prevent accidents." ”

Such a vital gateway would be abnormal if there was no anti-theft mechanism. Veronica has the skill of "searching for traps", especially those advanced traps that incorporate magic, and only "logistics experts" such as ninjas and thieves who specialize in picking locks can search and try to dispel them, while others do not have this skill, and reckless attempts often pay a heavy price.

Veronica spent ten minutes searching the gate carefully, and his concerns were confirmed.

"I honestly don't want to know what will happen after the gate is pressed against a very well-constructed pressure sensing device, and if the gate is slammed, the sensor will inevitably be triggered by the change in pressure, and then the defense mechanism will be triggered." Traps don't know how dangerous they are until they've been triggered.

"How sure are you that you will dismantle the trap?" Roland asked.

"It's hard to say, but I'm willing to give it a try." Veronica's reply was conservative, and her hand movements were not conservative at all, expertly opening the thief's toolbox, taking out a thin piece of iron with a hook from it, and inserting it into the crack of the door to press down on the sensor.

With a click, the pressure sensor was lifted, and the door shook slightly, and then calm was restored. Veronica stood up and smiled with relief.

Roland also breathed a sigh of relief, and was just about to step forward to open the door, when the dragon head relief on the gate suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out billowing smoke.

Everyone hurriedly retreated, Veronica was too close to the door, and she didn't have time to dodge when she was caught off guard, and she was sprayed.

The foul-smelling poisonous gas rushed in front of her, and Veronica inhaled it coldly, and immediately fainted to the ground.

A large amount of green poisonous gas continued to spit out from the mouth of the dragon's head relief, and the three of Roland hurriedly withdrew from the door, looking at the corridor filled with poisonous gas at a loss.

"There's no time to delay, we need to get Veronica out of here." With a deep groan, Roland turned back to Lyudmila and said, "Give me the kettle, and find another piece of cloth—a handkerchief." ”

Seeing him pouring water on the handkerchief, Lyudmila guessed that he wanted to rush in to save people in the face of poisonous gas, and hurriedly said: "I'd better go!" "Taking the initiative to ask for help is not only a matter of courage, but also a reason to give in, after all, among the three people present, she has the highest physique attributes, and a high physique means that the strength and immunity are high, and the chance of poisoning is even lower.

Bloom lifted his helmet and said confidently: "Speaking of resisting toxins, we dwarves are not targeting anyone, or Uncle Ben will personally go out to get that unlucky girl back." ”

Who is better to venture into a place where poison gas is flooded to save people? In fact, Roland knows better than they do.

The Pupil of Destiny can help him see a person's physical fitness, and visualize it in a digital way. The advantage of the giantess is that the constitution attribute is as high as 22, and the general toxin can't put her down, and the dwarf 20's physique is slightly inferior to Lyudmila, but when fighting toxins, the exemption test has a 2-point race bonus, and the comprehensive resistance is slightly better than that of Lyudmila.

As for Roland himself, he does not have an advantage in his constitution attribute of 18 compared to his two companions, but don't forget, his professional ability "Divine Grace" can count the charm modifier into the exemption test, and he has an extra 6 points of toxin resistance out of thin air, and immediately throws Lyudmila and Bloom away.

In addition to his confidence in his own resilience, Roland also had an estimate of the danger of poison gas.

By observing the poisonous gas discharged, Roland has learned more about this serial trap, and to put it bluntly, it is not mysterious, it is to store a "stinky cloud technique" in the guard enchantment.

The Stinky Cloud Technique is a 3-ring magic, and the exemption difficulty is usually no more than 14, unless Roland is unlucky enough to drink cold water and stuff his teeth, this poison gas will not hurt him at all.

Taking a deep breath, Roland covered his mouth and nose with a wet handkerchief and strode into the gas-filled hallway.

The "Pupil of Fate" kept his vision from the interference of the stinky cloud, and soon found the girl who was lying prone unconscious, picked up and turned around and ran, and in an instant, he escaped from the gas-filled area, returned to a safe place and took a deep breath, his tense nerves relaxed slightly.

Lyudmila had already prepared the antidote potion, pinched Veronica's mouth and poured it down.

The half-vampire girl's physique is also quite strong, and she quickly regained consciousness after taking the medicine, sat up and combed her sideburns, pretending to be calm: "There was a little situation just now, and my whole person is not well." ”

Lyudmila glared at her fiercely: "Tear down a trap and come out of the oolong, you ninja is not good at learning." ”

Veronica blushed and defended: "It was just a small accident, and I promise not to make the same mistake again." ”

Lyudmila took up the battering ram, "Then come and give you a chance to redeem your merits." ”

Veronica came to the door, burned a "wind-making" scroll to blow away the poison gas, and then assisted Lyudmila in slamming the battering ram into the door.

There will be a few minutes of window time after the gas trap is triggered, for the Green Dragon Relief to refill with poison gas.

At this moment, the poison gas has not yet been filled, it is hit by a battering ram, the trap cannot be launched, the bronze gate is overwhelmed, and it slowly opens with a creak.

"It's finally done." Veronica wiped her sweat and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when a lead-covered net flew from the darkness across the gate, covering her and Lyudmila.

At the same time, there was a sound of the wind—and countless arrows shot from across the gate.
