Chapter 9: Seeds
Little by little, the wall was pushed open a crack, and a figure in a black cloak, covered in eerie smelling dirt, and holding a glowing bead in his hand, crowded in. He was overjoyed to see the corpses on the ground, but his joy turned to surprise and anger when he saw the treasure chest in the depths of the lair missing.
At this moment, a tall figure suddenly rushed in front of him, and the figure was afraid in his heart, and wanted to take something out of his arms, but before he could be caught by the black shadow.
Yuan Mu and Amelia walked in from outside.
"Well done, Tausno. Urkan, go and lift his cloak and search him as well. ”
Lifting the cloak, this figure was indeed the orc in the tavern. The orc said stiffly, "Friend, what are you doing here?" I've done you a favor, I'm here just to observe the gnolls, and I'm just going into the pit to hide. ”
Urkan searched for a level 3 multiple fireball scroll (emitting multiple fireballs to burn enemies in a small area), and picked up the glowing bead from the ground and handed it to Yuan Mu.
"Hit." Yuan Mu doesn't talk nonsense, this bead is also a treasure.
Expedition Orbs, a level 2 treasure that completely illuminates simple traps and can detect some intermediate traps.
The orc was punched several times by Tao Snow's big fist and begged for mercy again and again. Yuan Mu motioned to Tao Sino to stop first, and said to the half-orc: "Don't you explain yet?" ”
"I say, I say." The orc begged for mercy: "I am worried that you will not return the contents of my house to me or die in the ancient tunnel, so I will sneak into the tunnel to find your traces and get my box back." Let me go, I don't want the gold and resources in it. ”
Yuan Mu took out the half-orc box, shook it in front of him, and sneered: "Of course you don't want these gold coins and resources, but if there is another thing in the box, you may not be willing to give it." The orc's face changed when he heard his words.
Yuan Mu continued: "This is actually nothing, I originally planned to return the box to you. But what I saw later made me angry. In fact, you already knew that there were spiders in this tunnel, and you deliberately released the news that there were treasures in the ancient tunnels to attract adventurers and explorers to come to you, and then you told them the location of the tunnel, and you also deliberately warned them of the danger to clear your relationship. ”
"Adventurers may avoid traps and normal underground creatures, but the venomous spiders here are insidious, and they will mingle with ordinary spiders. If killed by a spider, they will be dragged to the nest, and you will be able to come to the spider's nest and take their relics with what you have on you. That's right, right? ”
The half-orc listened to Yuan Mu exposing himself, his face changed, and after a while, he smiled and said, "These are all your guesses, and you have no evidence." And I didn't hurt you, so many of you, didn't you clean up the spider's nest? ”
"Humph! This was originally your plan to kill two birds with one stone. You can't beat the gnolls in the house alone, there are so many gnolls, even if you use magic scrolls, it's useless. When you hear that I want to go to the tunnel, you want to borrow my hand to get this box back first, and then wait for me to enter the tunnel. There are so many of us that we will definitely be spotted by spiders. ”
"I've already gone to see it, and the road we came down has been blocked, and the fork in the tunnel leading to the rest of the country has long been destroyed, and all the roads eventually lead to the spider's nest."
"You guess we can't beat the spiders, and there are so many traps on the way, so remind us to bring an antidote. When ordinary people are desperate and see the treasure chest under the spider, they will definitely consider killing the spider mother and trying their luck to see if they can get useful treasures. ”
At this time, the very powerful skill of the spider mother will make the attacker suffer a lot. You wait for us to lose, and then come out and see if you can use the magic scroll to pick up the cheap, kill the spider mother and open the level 4 treasure chest. ”
Seeing that Yuan Mu had guessed everything, the half-orcs were speechless. Yuan Mu didn't want to look at him anymore and asked Tao Snow to kill him.
"Wait, don't you want to know where the contents of the box point to? There's still a way out......" Tao Snow didn't wait for him to finish, he started directly, and the orc died.
"It's quick, don't mind."
"I didn't want you to stop. I'll go find a place for the treasure map myself, and as for the way out, isn't that where he came from? ”
Tausno grinned, "I suddenly found that you are very pleasing to the eye, you are more treacherous than those lords of the valley, but you are not like them. ”
"That's not how treacherous is used, you can praise me for being smart, I won't object."
"It's time for us to get out." Amelia reminded.
"Well, call the kobold back." Yuan Mu planned to come to the ancient tunnel, so he bought tools for the kobold who could dig holes in Yepaw Village. Although Yuan Mu was very sure that the orcs would appear, he was prepared for everything, and he asked the kobold to dig to see if he could dig a way out.
Now that the way out has been found, Yuan Mu and they will not be trapped, but it is a pity that the kobold has dug for so long in vain.
Gather your men and open the wall where the orcs came. There was also a tunnel on the opposite side of the wall, Yuan Mu took out the exploration bead to detect the trap, and Urkan found the way when the orcs came, and rushed outside. The ancient tunnel is too dangerous, it is not a place where they can come now, Yuan Mu plans to go out first, and then find a way to do the task of the blue fluorescent grass.
Leaving the tunnel, the team walked into a cavern instead of the narrow road they had entered. The cave is full of plants that glow with mushrooms, mushrooms, and fluorescent grasses - not only white, but also many that glow blue.
"It's beautiful." Amelia exclaimed. The plants in the ground are not very beautiful, but they are very harmonious here.
Yuan Mu also wanted to cheer, so he hurriedly went to collect enough blue fluorescent grass first.
"There may be something wrong here." Tausno was not very interested in these and expressed his opinion.
"Maybe some druid used a natural spell here, or maybe some kind of forest spirit animal once lived here." Amelia also gave her opinion.
The words of the two aroused Yuan Mu's interest, and Yuan Mu used his insight talent to begin to observe the cave closely.
After reading it once, there was no gain at all. Yuan Mu became excited, told the team to rest on the side, and began to look around for traces with Amelia and Tao Snow. The cave is full of underground plants, and you can't see any difference.
"There's also a small waterhole here." Amelia found something different in the corner of the cave, a small and shallow pool of water so clear that she could see the bottom of it.
It's nothing that there is a waterhole underground, but there is nothing else strange next to it, Yuan Mu looked at this waterhole - everything is still normal, nothing.
"It can't be something underwater." Tausno felt a little bored, and it was also a blind guess.
"We can all see the bottom of the pond directly, unless it is hidden in the dirt under the pool, but there are also things hidden under the dirt in other places, and if we really want to find it, it will be troublesome." Amelia couldn't help it. But she didn't get bored, and Amelia didn't give up her love of adventure.
Yuan Mu directly stretched out his hand to the bottom of the pool, touched it, and found nothing, so he had to give up. Turning off the insight talent, insight also consumes a certain amount of energy, and the waterhole is still the same waterhole, which looks very normal.
"Huh!" Yuan Mu suddenly felt that something was wrong. He turned on the insight talent again, and the waterhole was normal, and turned off the insight talent, the waterhole was still normal, but between this opening and leveling, the waterhole was a little different in comparison.
Yuan Mu didn't stop for a moment, switching on and off to gain insight into talent, and the consumption of energy made his head hurt, and his nose was bleeding.
"Are you alright?" Amelia and Tausno were taken aback.
Yuan Mu didn't care about them, when he kept turning on and off his insight talent, there seemed to be a thin layer of mirror on the surface of the waterhole that had been broken, reflecting something inside. Yuan Mu reached out and grabbed a seed.
This kind of seed is not different from ordinary seeds at all, and Yuan Mu glanced at it with his insight talent as usual.
Seed? ,? ,…。
It's all question marks, Yuan Mu wondered, the insight can be said to be invincible before, even if there is a small amount of information that can't be seen, but there is always a hint, this time it is not a bit of information at all.
"What is this?" The two people next to him watched him magically fish out a seed from the water in the pool, and said strangely.
"I don't know, but don't say it." This thing is hidden so deeply, Yuan Mu feels that it is a great thing. If you let others know, you don't know what trouble it will bring. It's just that there is no information about this kind of thing, so Yuan Mu can't check it if he wants to, and he can't see any effect in his hand for the time being, but his hands are hot, and he can't help but feel a little depressed.
The team is still resting, and Yuan Mu sorted out the harvest in the tunnel this time:
There are more than 2,000 gold coins, in addition to the level 4 treasure chest, there are also half-orc boxes, and some are distributed to subordinates; some basic resources; 2 units of Premium Crystals.
A dozen units of blue fluorescent grass, used to complete the witch's mission; There are also some herbs that Apothecary Ugel needs; A diary, a task received.
Level 1 Treasure War Drums; Level 2 Treasure Exploration Orb; Level 3 Magic Scroll Multiple Fireball Technique; A Junior Diplomatic Order.
There is also a treasure map and a mysterious unknown seed.
In addition, Yuan Mu and Amelia's combat experience has also increased a little, and the combat experience of his subordinates has also increased a lot.
