Chapter 9: The Legacy of the Secret Knight

When Yang Shou leaned low and rubbed through the stone crack step by step, a strange scenery soon appeared in front of him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is a verdant poplar forest, and not far behind it is a knife-like cliff, and through the milky white light from the trees, you can see the trees swaying slightly, and the vision is full of greenery.

In the center of the forest is a cylindrical white stone pillar more than a meter high, with several regular holes around the stone pillar.

Clear spring water gushes from the cave and flows down from the surface of the pillars, nourishing the surrounding parched land and nurturing this rare poplar forest.

The top of the stone pillar emitted a soft white light, and there seemed to be something in the light, but it was wrapped in a halo of light, and only a vague outline could be seen.

This is it, the paladin's grave, the treasure!

The white light is the holy light left by the paladin during his lifetime, and as long as the tomb is not destroyed, then the holy light will last forever.

But the big thing is that there is also a black ghoul standing next to the spring, with a huge head trembling slightly, making a strange "clatter" sound.

The ghoul seemed to be very afraid of the white light and the spring water, and kept circling around, trying to get close to the stone pillar several times, but as soon as he got close to the range of the white light, he immediately let out a terrible scream and withdrew in embarrassment.

"Grass Mud Horse ......"

Yang Shou couldn't help but scold, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu knew that it would definitely not be so simple.

It's definitely not tough...... The treasure is close at hand, is it going to be blocked by this little ghoul?

Yang Shou's mind turned sharply, and his eyes quickly locked on the stone pillar in the white light, and a bold idea began to emerge in Yang Shou's mind.

The battle outside could end at any time, and time was pressing, so Yang Shou was no longer allowed to think about it.

Fight!

He straightened his back, took a deep breath, drew his sword from its sheath, and stepped out of the shadows.

The ghoul immediately turned his head in alarm, and two large yellow-brown eyeballs turned nimbly, locking onto the thin human in front of him.

"Hiss......"

Without any pause, the ghoul had already pounced on Yang Shou like lightning in the next second!

Yang Shou knew the ghoul's attack routines well, and when he saw the ghoul bending his legs slightly, he knew that the other party was ready to kill, so he decisively dodged to the left in advance.

After rolling over the ground, he dodged the opponent's first blow.

One second!

Yang Shou didn't dare to slow down, and he didn't look back after getting up, he pounced on the stone pillar as fast as he could, and at the same time swung a sword behind him with his backhand!

"Dang!"

This sword seemed to be slashed on a stone, and Yang Shou's mouth was numb. Yang Shouxin screamed badly, why is this guy so fast! He quickly leaned over and lowered his head, and rolled forward again.

Two seconds!

The ghoul who pounced on the other side just now unexpectedly turned around in an instant, following closely behind Yang Shou.

This guy was extremely fast, and he caught up with this slightly embarrassed human in just one step, and as soon as he missed the catch, the other giant claw immediately waved simply and roughly, just scraping Yang Shou's thigh.

"The system says you've been hit by a ghoul, and you take 13 damage (physical)"

"You are affected by Bleed, taking 1 point/5 seconds of damage (physical) for 30 seconds"

"You're infected with corpse poison and your health regeneration rate is slowed"

"You are infected with a disease, your maximum HP is reduced by 50%, and you enter a weakened state"

……

"it!"

Feeling a sharp pain in his leg, Yang Shou screamed miserably, and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

Glancing at the red system prompt, Yang Shouqiang endured the pain, knowing that now is the most critical time, and he must not give up!

Yang Shou didn't need to look back to know that the ghoul behind him would definitely take a vertical leap and pounce straight on his back.

Eat meat or drink soup, it's up to you!

He gritted his teeth, used the last bit of physical strength, and jumped forward with one leg with force, and when he was in the air, he used the strength of his waist and abdomen to force him to turn around, and put the broadsword in front of him!

The third second!

Yang Shou turned around and saw the ghoul also jumping high, his huge claws slapping into his chest from top to bottom.

At this moment, Yang Shou could even clearly see the sparks that sputtered when the claws and broadsword collided.

"Woo-la-la!"

The sound of claws rubbing against metal was extremely unpleasant, and Yang Shou must have gotten goosebumps early in the morning. But now he didn't have the energy to take care of this, and in the next second, he had been slapped by the ghoul and flew out sideways.

"You take 5 impact damage (Physical)"

"Warning: Low health, enter a state of critical injury."

Yang Shou's fall was called a sturdy, and he could hear the "bang" when his back hit the ground! There was a muffled sound. It felt like being naughty when I was a child, falling sideways from the wall and slapping on the ground, and my eyes were full of Venus.

I don't know if it's because of the system warning, or if there is internal bleeding in the body, Yang Shou's entire vision turned dark red. I couldn't see anything in front of me, my ears were full of indescribable chaotic buzzing, and I almost lost control of my body.

At this time, Yang Shou only had one thought left: hurry up, move!

In the blurred vision, a few meters away on the right-hand side, a tall black figure was rushing towards this side.

Yang Shou coughed in embarrassment, feeling salty in his mouth, gritted his teeth, tried to turn his head, and his eyes came to the other side.

His left hand was bathed in a white light, bright but not dazzling.

And the play!

Yang Shou gritted his teeth, supported himself with his almost completely unconscious arm, and slowly and effortfully turned over in the direction of the white light.

At this moment, time seems to be stretched.

Yang Shou concentrated, trying not to pay attention to the footsteps getting closer and closer on the right. In fact, it only takes two steps for the ghoul to rush over, and Yang Shou feels that in no more than 1 second, the ghoul's big mouth can touch the back of his neck, and the unspeakable stench will surround him.

This is exactly the case, only a little different, before the ghoul bit Yang Shou's neck off, Yang Shou just slowly turned over and entered the range of white light.

"Roar!"

The ghoul didn't have time to stop, and the sheer inertia caused it to crash headlong into the range of the Light.

In just an instant, the ghoul howled miserably, and was directly bounced out at a speed equivalent to twice that when he rushed in, and then slammed into the boulder more than ten meters away, with a muffled "poof", and there was no sound again.

Yang Shou next to the stone pillar didn't know anything about it.

For a moment, Yang Shou felt that he had fainted, but soon, his consciousness was pulled back by the sharp pain coming from all over his body.

Yang Shou felt that every bone of his body was creaking, and there was no place in his body that did not hurt, and even his toes were completely numb and unconscious. Even if he breathes lightly, he can tear his chest with severe pain, and Yang Shou, who is in pain, inhales cold air.

The red light flashed more and more frequently in front of him, constantly refreshing the prompt text, Yang Shou didn't need to look at it to know that it was a near-death prompt issued by the system, warning him that he must hurry up for treatment.

Damn, are you going to hang here?

Where Yang Shou couldn't see, the holy light around the stone pillar began to slowly gather towards his body, and after a while, Yang Shou's body was already wrapped in dazzling white light.

The wound scratched by the ghoul had turned purple-black, but the white light flickered, and the wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, representing a healthy pale red color that returned to Yang Shou's face.

Dizzy, I don't know how long it took, Yang Shou gradually felt a warmth, and the bright red prompt text in his vision turned into a calm milky white at some point.

"System Prompt: You are under the influence of the Light of Purity"

"Your toxins are dispelled, the effects of the disease are dispelled"

"You gain the Soothing Effect of Holy Light, heal for 1 point/second, and increase HP recovery speed, +1 point/second"

"You're out of a state of serious injury"

……

saved~

Waiting for his physical strength to return to above the cordon, Yang Shou sat up with his hands and looked behind him for the first time.

On the huge rock, there was a lump of sparse flesh attached to it at this time, and from the slender limbs and broken head, it was barely possible to make out the appearance of the ghoul just now.

"Whew~"

Yang Shou let out a long breath, and the nervous and anxious feeling just now was swept away

Fortunately, this treasure was the same as in his memory, and Yang Shou's plan was implemented.

Ghoul attacks have a peculiarity that as long as the target is not on the ground, the ghoul will jump up and attack nine times out of ten. It was by taking advantage of this, coupled with the holy light on the stone pillar, that he was able to pick up a life in nine deaths.

Necro creatures instinctively avoid the Light, and if it weren't for an order from the high-ranking undead, the ghoul wouldn't have been here for even a second.

The holy light here is not the most powerful, if it is the holy light left by the high-level paladins during their lifetime, not to mention ghouls, even ghouls and vampires must avoid it, because if you touch it, it will be wiped out.

Thinking of this, Yang Shou quickly struggled to stand up and came to the stone pillar.

At this time, a closer look reveals that this stone pillar is quite exquisitely carved, and the holes flowing out of the spring are all beautiful bird's beak shapes.

Directly above the stone pillar were several objects, shining in the light of the white holy light. Yang Shou's heart was pounding, and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva and stretched out his hand to the stone pillar.

In an instant, the golden light bursts!

At the same time as touching something, Yang Shou immediately felt a comfortable warmth, and the pain in his body and wounds disappeared.

It was upgraded at this time!

"Congratulations, you've discovered A-Rank Treasure: The Legacy of the Secret Knight"

"You gain 2 Fame"

"You gained 25 XP"

"Meet the upgrade conditions and your level will be increased to level 3......"

"You get 1 Skill Point and 1 Specialty Point, allocate it to the skill you want to improve."

Familiar system prompts pop up, and after going through the hardships, you have increased your strength and level, and this moment is definitely worth enjoying for every player.

However, at this time, Yang Shou's attention was all attracted by the big letter A.

Class A!

Sure enough, it's an A-grade treasure! Haha, it's earned!

Yang Shou turned his head and listened intently, the shouting and killing outside had weakened, and someone might come in at any time. Therefore, he didn't care about allocating skill points, so Yang Shou directly took a few things in his hands.

The smallest of the three was a square badge, the size of a matchbox, and thin. Made of pale gold metal, with a wheel with four spokes engraved on the surface, it is the emblem of Gunde, the god of craftsmanship and forging.

The item description is also very simple.

"Energy Badge (Strange Things)

outstanding

Use: Gain 1 skill point

Remaining Uses: 1"

This is the well-known energy badge in "The Witcher", which can give players 1 skill point, which is nicknamed "point card" by players, and is the most common and lowest-level item in the game to obtain skill points.

Yang Shou directly chose to use it, and the remaining skill points on the attribute panel changed from 1 to 2.

The second thing is more precious. This is a cowhide book, the whole body is shining with golden light, and the book cover is inlaid with silver thread, which is particularly delicate.

Codex: Aura of Endurance (Strange Things)

outstanding

Imbued with the spiritual power of the Secret Paladin, it has the magical effect of passing on experience.

Use: Learn Skill Endurance Aura (Level 1)"

Yang Shou also chose to use it directly, a white light flashed on his body, and after confirming that the skill was successfully learned, Yang Shou quickly put the skill book back on the stone pillar, and the energy badge was put into his arms.

The third thing left is the highlight of this treasure.
