Chapter 70: The Trapped Blacksmith?
"Now that everyone has decided to cooperate, it's okay for you to call me Lian Ji, it's embarrassing to call me by a screen name." Lian Ji said to Cong Kai.
"It's okay, you can add me Cong Kai, if you want help, just look for me!" Cong Kai responded.
"Okay, I do have something to ask you for help with right now." Lian Ji said bluntly.
"...... say! What's the matter? "Cong Kai: Can I say that I am just polite?
But this kind of thing that can bring the relationship closer Cong Kai has no reason to refuse, so naturally he can help.
"No, I'm going to explore this cave tomorrow, do you have any props that can help explore the situation inside?" Lian Ji asked.
"Props for exploration! This is easy to say, can the talisman be used? Cong Kai took out a few talismans from his bag and said, "This is a breath talisman and an invisibility talisman, which are still good to use together!" ”
"Talisman!" Looking at the talisman in Cong Kai's hand, Lian Ji sighed a little, in the past, the three alliances also had the existence of the inheritor of the talisman, but it was a pity.
"Name: Breath Charm
Type: Prop - Talisman
Quality: Delicate (Blue)
Function: Hides all the breath on the body within three minutes, which can block simple detection skills. ”
"Name: Incognito
Type: Prop - Talisman
Quality: Delicate (Blue)
Function: Disappears within two minutes, unable to be observed with the naked eye. ”
"Yes, get me some! If you accept this, it will be regarded as an exchange. Lian Ji was very satisfied with the function of the talisman, so he took out a bloody throat sealing poison in his hand and gave it to Cong Kai, and changed ten pieces of each talisman.
In terms of value, it must be more valuable for Lian Ji to see blood and seal his throat, on the one hand, Lian Ji does not want to be helped by Cong Kai in vain, and on the other hand, he shows his own heritage and builds momentum for the Three Realms Alliance.
Cong Kai did not refuse Lian Ji's poison and acquiesced in the transaction. After the exchange was completed, the two went offline to rest.
The next day, Ryoji and Xue Tsusa went online as usual, and Ryoji handed the talisman to Xue Tsusa and told her about the previous night's incident before starting to explore the cave.
After using the talisman, they lost each other's appearance in the field of vision of both sides. However, with the team connection, Lian Ji and the two can still check each other's locations.
Walking into the cave, Lian Ji carefully moved forward, ensuring that he would not make any noise.
There was not the slightest light source in this cave, and I couldn't see my fingers. Even if Lian Ji used spiritual assistance, he still couldn't see anything.
After walking in the darkness for a long time, Lian Ji finally saw the light, and when he stepped forward, he saw that it was a special fungus that was glowing. The light wasn't very bright, but it was better than the darkness before.
After walking for a while through the glimmer, Xue Xue Sha made other discoveries.
Somewhere in the passage there were traces of battle, and the marks on them were clearly those left by some weapon.
"Someone broke into this place before!" Through the traces, Xue Xue Sha said.
"Can you tell how long?" Lian Ji asked.
"It's been a while, and it looks like both sides of the battle are not weak." Snow Yarn said again.
"Who could it be?" Ryoji tries to analyze the identity of the person, but it turns out that he doesn't seem to have the talent.
"Forget it, let's keep walking!" After thinking for a while to no avail, Lian Ji and the two continued to set off.
The strange thing is that along the way, Lian Ji and the two of them did not encounter any demon beasts to intercept them, and the whole cave was quiet and weird.
After walking for a while, Lian Ji and the two of them encountered a fork in the road, and where to go next made it difficult for the two of them.
"If you fork the road... There you go, Ice Spider. Lian Ji thought for a moment, and then summoned the Ice Spider again.
Controlling the Ice Cubes to the entrance of the passages, Lian Ji let the Ice Spiders begin to experience the vibration information coming from the two passages.
After a while, the Ice Spider returned the information that the passage on the left was a dead end, and there was biological activity in it, but the movement was not very obvious.
On the right, it is impossible to detect with certainty, and there is a strange force that blocks the senses of the Ice Spider, and it is impossible to perceive the vibrations inside.
"According to the information fed back by the Ice Spider, the right should be the main destination of our mission. No matter what the demon clan will do, it should be in the cave on the right. ”
"The one on the left should be another side story quest, I think it's likely to help us, how about it, do you want to check it out?" Lian Ji asked towards Xue Shusha.
"Then you have to check it out! I'm the best at exploring this kind of thing! Xue Xuan said eagerly.
"Let's go!"
After deciding, Lian Ji walked into the passage on the left. As we went deeper, the environment ahead gradually became harsh, and the cave was not only damp and disgusting.
At the end, Lian Ji saw a cave that had been dug out the day after tomorrow. The cave was small, and there was a ragged figure dying inside.
Lian Ji and Xue Shusha glanced at each other, and then walked up to investigate the person's attributes.
"Mochizuki City Blacksmith, Wang Zhu (poisoned) (near-fated)
Rank: Fourth
Level: 50
Health: 1530/75000
Blood:??
…….”
"The information shows that he is a blacksmith in Mochizuki City!" Lian Ji said in surprise.
"He's a blacksmith? So what's in Mochizuki Castle right now? Xue Xuan said in surprise.
"I don't know, let's wake him up first!" Lian Ji replied.
If you want to know what's going on, just get the man up and ask.
Saving people also depends on Lian Ji, he has a total of two blood-recovering skills, and he uses them a few times in shifts, and this person slowly wakes up.
"You ...... Who is it? … Why... Will it be here? The man asked in a hoarse voice.
"We are adventurers sent by the city lord to investigate the situation, may I ask who you are, senior, do you know what is going on here?" Lian Ji asked, and at the same time, the treatment in his hand did not stop.
"I am a blacksmith from Mochizuki City, and my name is Wang Zhu. About a month ago, I came to the mountains to look for the Pregnant Sky Stone to be used for forging equipment. But I didn't expect to meet the demon king here, and I had a big battle with it, and this guy's strength was surprisingly strong. In the end, I failed, and I was poisoned and imprisoned here, as if I was going to be sacrificed of some kind. With the help of Lian Ji, Wang Zhu regained a little vitality and spoke.
"You say you're a blacksmith from Mochizuki City? How to prove it? Now there's another king blacksmith in the city! Lian Ji said.
"This is my ancestral sword, it is a treasure that I have passed down from generation to generation, and only my bloodline can use it. That man is a demon beast that can freely transform into any human form. Wang Zhu summoned a golden long sword from his body and said.
Seeing this long sword, combined with the task of finding the sword posted on the bulletin board of Mochizuki City, Lian Ji basically determined his identity. The blacksmith in Mochizuki Castle is supposed to be an impostor, and in order not to reveal his identity, he issued a mission to find the sword.
"Damn! I didn't expect the water in this game to be so deep. Lian Ji said.
"Don't talk about it yet, let's get him back up!" Xue Xue Sha reminded.
"Yes!"
