Chapter 42: The Bloodcast

After walking a few meters, he saw that the sides of the cave were full of iron arrows, and among the rocks on the ground, there was a white bone, an iron arrow was stuck in the ribs of his chest, and a dagger was held tightly in the white bone's hand. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Should be a stalker.

Apparently, the stalker accidentally touched the trap and was shot by an iron arrow, killing him.

To Sean's surprise, the stalker's fallen body was headed in the direction of the hole.

Apparently, he came from the depths of the cave and tried to break out of the hole, only to die here.

What really happened here?

Gavin looked closely and found that the iron arrows nailed to the rocks on both sides were not ordinary pig iron, but a rare metal called "black iron", which was much denser than ordinary steel and was very heavy and strong.

A shield made of black iron that can withstand the slashing of the heavy sword.

The arrows made of black iron have the attribute of "armor piercing", which is indestructible and can shoot through the heavy shield of fine iron!

This metal is relatively expensive, and the price of one such black iron arrow will not be less than 1 gold coin.

There are at least thirty black iron arrows scattered here, that is, more than thirty gold coins.

Such a dense array of arrows, shot from the highly tense frame, was very fast, perhaps even faster than the iron arrows of the female demon archer.

The cave is not very wide, and the area that can be moved is too small.

At such a close distance, the stalker was actually only hit by one arrow, and his strength was probably not too weak.

At least a mid-tier (Tier 2) Stalker, most likely a Tier 3 Stalker!

Gavin bent down and picked up the dagger from Bones' hand to take a closer look.

After two minutes, Gavin finally determined that the dagger was actually an alchemical item.

It is made of black iron, and it is also mixed with Mithril ingredients, which is not only very strong, but also has the dual properties of "armor piercing" and "demon breaking".

According to the unified standards of the Continent of the Gods, this should be a mid-level alchemy item, worth more than 500 gold coins.

However, due to the erosion of time, this dagger is no longer as sharp as it once was, the blade has become dull, and there is still a slight degree of rust on it, and its value has decreased a lot.

Now worth up to 100 gold coins.

Because of the "War of Extermination" 10,000 years ago, the gods joined forces to forbid anyone to learn arcane magic and alchemy, which directly led to the withering of arcane magic and alchemy.

Until the "War of the Gods" three hundred years ago, the gods died and wounded, and those who were still alive hid in the kingdom of God and never came out.

Although the gods teamed up to seal the demon realm and used their last divine power to remove all the demons and dark creatures on the ground, more demons and dark creatures have long been hiding in the dark region, threatening the creatures on the ground at all times.

The Church of the Gods is lonely.

It was at this time that the two professions of mage and alchemist were revived.

The Great Psychic took over the Western Realm of the Dead, the Great Guardian, the Great Magister and the Grand Prophet established the Magical Holy City, and the Grand Elementalist and the Grand Golemist joined forces to establish the Alchemy City.

In the case of strong enemies and the gods, the Church of the Gods recognized the mage and alchemist, and these two professions finally ushered in a golden period of development.

Even so, magic alchemy items are still very rare, and most of the middle and low-level professionals don't even have a single magic alchemy item, so they can only use ordinary weapons and equipment made by blacksmiths. After all, not every professional is as rich as the Faye.

This dagger is very good.

Gavin found the mark of the Dark Elves on the handle of the dagger, which was made by a dark elf alchemist.

Gavin is not a stalker, and this dagger is not for him.

Instead, it's more suitable for Hank.

Putting the dagger away, Gavin continued to rummage.

When he removed the bones, he found a notebook.

Due to the erosion of time, the notebook was in tatters and covered with thick dust, so Gavin didn't notice it at first.

The paper became brittle.

The yellowed pages were broken a lot, but there weren't many that were still intact.

Gavin bent down and knelt down, carefully turning the pages of the book, and found that it was actually written in the continental lingua franca.

This is a diary.

It chronicles the life of a human thief from Pegasus City in the "Bloodkeep".

This is a high-ranking thief who, for some reason, became a follower of a male dark elf mage, and then followed him into the "Darkblood Fortress" to serve him.

A certain page records the time, which should be a hundred years ago, when Pegasus City was first founded.

The dark elf was very powerful, should be a high-level dark mage, and was also proficient in alchemy. The high-ranking thief had a high regard for his alchemy.

In order to win over the thieves, the dark elves personally made a dagger for the thieves, sharpening iron like clay, and named "Black Blade".

The Dark Elves have been preparing a ritual, but the thieves don't know exactly what it is, because the Dark Elves are very suspicious and don't trust the thieves.

The thieves only knew that the dark elves had spent most of their wealth for this ritual, and tens of thousands of gold coins were swayed like water, and the thieves had spread the word through various means, claiming that somewhere in the dark region, there was an ownerless castle that contained a lot of wealth!

A wealth that even dragons covet!

For this reason, the dark elves also deliberately placed treasure chests at the entrance of the Dark Blood Ciep to the outside world, and put some precious treasures in them.

When the first adventurer was suspicious, came here, and got the treasure, it immediately attracted the attention of a large number of adventurers.

More and more adventurers are coming here.

And those adventurers, after entering the cave, all lost their news.

In fact, they were all captured by the Dark Elves to use their flesh and soul to perform evil magical rituals.

However, just as the ritual was about to be completed, an unexpected happened.

There was an earthquake.

A violent earthquake that shook down the Darkblood Keep, a thick vine that burrowed out from the depths of the ground, killed all the captured adventurers, absorbed their blood, grew rapidly, and finally killed the Dark Elves.

The Thief, the only follower of the Dark Elves in the "Bloodkeep", witnessed all of this.

The hundreds of meters of vines were like earthly pythons, vines thicker than a human waist, easily destroying everything in the Dark Blood Fortress.

Fear made him turn and run.

The vine was extremely fast, easily destroying his left leg.

He felt his life draining away and thought he was about to die.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a hiss.

For some reason, the vines suddenly let go of him and left the Night Keep.

The thieves escaped with their lives, but they couldn't get out.

Because the Dark Blood Fortress is full of traps, which only the Dark Elves know. Now that the dark elves are dead, the thieves don't dare to run around at all.

For a month, he spent a month in panic and loneliness.

The stored food was finally eaten, and the severe injuries that could not be healed tormented his spirit, and the loneliness and fear made him almost insane.

He knew that he couldn't stay in the Dark Blood Keep any longer, and even if he died, he would have to give it a try and see if he could break out!
