187 The Secret of the Underground Temple-The Abandoned Body

Sycamore swooped and nearly choked himself to death after dodging the spear thrown by the skeleton.

Coughing violently and getting up, Sycamore even rolled and climbed to the steps above, choking on the state, he couldn't even do the chanting, because he was often interrupted by coughing in the middle of the chanting, and he could only rely on the [Lightning Shock] that was charged once every 3 seconds to attack the remaining 3 skeletons.

It seems that drinking juice during the battle is a very dangerous thing.,If you accidentally don't get killed by a monster.,But instead of being choked to death, that's called wronging!

Hammered his chest, coughing up the juice that choked into his chest, Sycamore didn't care about wheezing, so he quickly chanted [Strike Necromancy] and blasted down one of the fastest climbing skeletons, and the self-charged [Lightning Shock] and [Strike Necromancy] on the Eternal Wand were staggered, with an attack frequency of once every 3 seconds, and finally when Sycamore almost climbed out of the exit, he killed the remaining 3 skeletons and blew them apart.

Relieved, Sycamore walked back down the stairs and searched the bodies of the four skeletons, all of whom were wearing jet-black tattered robes, I don't know if they were originally black or dirty, anyway, they were so rotten that they couldn't see the original style and pattern.

It seems that these skeletons don't have any oil and water, except for these tattered black robes on their bodies, only two of them have rotten spears in their hands, one of them has been projected out and turned into foam when it hits the wall, and the other one doesn't even have a spear head, and it is estimated that even the [repair technique] can't be repaired.

However, Sycamore found what looked like a key on the loose belt of one of the skeletons, which could no longer be tied to his pants, and below it was a "key" for the key, but above it was a delicately carved metal skull, which looked like it should be the opening object of some important place.

In addition, Wutong also found a palm-sized notebook in the hidden bag of its sacrificial robe, most of the contents on it have been blurred, and some pages are even glued together, which cannot be opened at all, only the middle pages, and some incomplete handwriting can barely be distinguished:

"A few more people were executed today, a few people 'ran away' a few days ago, I'm going to find a few scapegoats quickly, the corpse room is such a good place, I like it there more and more"

Fortunately, this note uses a lingua franca, and Wutong barely understands it with a guess, but these few headless words make him confused, it should be a clue to the task, right? Or is it a secret guide to this underground ruin?

You must know that these ruins on the Endless Islands have been abandoned for hundreds of thousands of years, and the ghost knows when they were left, and this mysterious underground ruins, judging from the layout and details of all aspects, should be the secret temple of a certain sect, and these skeletons should be the priests or clergy of this mysterious sect before their deaths.

However, what puzzled Wutong was, what kind of sect of gods needed to be built underground? And will the priest of the gods also become an evil undead creature like a skeleton when he dies?

The high-risk activity of exploring the ruins does not seem to be something that the vast majority of players in the trial period can get involved in, and even Sycamore, a guy who violates the conventions and has mastered a large number of spells and a large number of rare equipment in advance, and is also a mage who has the possible surname of a leapfrog challenge, is almost hung up, and it is difficult for Sycamore to imagine what will happen to those melee fighters when they encounter these guys.

Not to mention anything else, the twenty or so ferocious rats just now, if it is a close combat, how many players can resist their attacks at the moment? In particular, they also have a special ability to infect, once one member of the team is infected, it is equivalent to planting the seeds of annihilation.

The incubation period and contagion of the epidemic are unpredictable, and it is not a simple solution to the problem by abandoning or directly killing the bitten companion, and if there is no effective way to deal with it, in the end, it is likely that no one will be able to get out of the ruins, and all of them will fall on the way.

And the four skeletons just now, although those four skeletons were just level 20 monsters according to the information revealed after Wutong killed them, but their health reached 1800 points, which was a full 400 higher than the same level 20 ferocious rats!

And Wutong estimates that these skeletons were either librarians or low-level guards before they were alive, and they were the weakest monsters in this ruin, because skeletons have a certain chance of retaining some abilities and skills before they were born, such as the skeleton that can throw spears.

Therefore, if you come across a skeleton that was a high-level person before death, such as a high-level priest or a high-level believer warrior, someone throws a killing surname magic or a special move or something, how can a player who can't break through level 20 during the trial period resist?

This underground ruin, Wutong estimated that he didn't expect to be able to fully explore it on his own, so he decided to leave here, first complete the energy injection task, and see if he could return to Ogalos Island, and then have a chance in the future, and then come back with the team to sweep, it is too dangerous to be alone.

Sure that the four skeletons scattered all over the ground had nothing to prick, Wutong thought about it for a while, and decided to leave directly, and no longer go back to the room that looked like a library, although there may be good things inside, but who can guarantee that there are no skeletons inside, just now he was chased by four skeletons all the way, and the danger really scared him.

Turned around and climbed the stairs, returned to the iron gate at the entrance, Wutong breathed a sigh of relief and pulled open the iron door, and then looked at the situation outside the iron door for a while, and suddenly screamed in horror, slammed the door shut, and used his back to resist the iron door!

Joke! I don't know from outside the iron gate, there are dozens of skeletons coming out of there, not to mention hundreds!

"Bang dang! Bang Dang! ”

The violent impact came from behind, and Sycamore almost fell forward, and quickly backhanded the Eternals wand into the iron knockers of the two iron doors, which barely stopped the skeletons outside the door, but then Sycamore could not take his Eternal Wand with him.

Dumbfounded for a while, Wutong suddenly remembered his apprentice staff, and hurriedly rummaged through the backpack for a long time, and finally found it in one of the backpacks with a sweat, sometimes the backpack is too big and a problem, and it takes a long time to find something.

Swapping out the Eternal Wand with the Apprentice Staff, Sycamore looked at "Bang Dang!" Bang dang! "The iron door that was hit by the skeleton outside the door,Relieved,Fortunately I didn't throw away the apprentice staff,Although this thing is a very low caste,But it has an advantage that most equipment does not have,It has no durability limit,That is,It will not be damaged because of the exhaustion of durability,If you have to say,The apprentice staff is also one of the special equipment。

But this time I guess I have to give up this stick that has been with me for several days, Wutong reluctantly glanced at the apprentice staff inserted in the knocker, how could there be so many skeletons at the entrance?

Wutong thought about it for a long time, and suddenly remembered that when he came in, the entrance passage was full of bones, and he couldn't help but sweat down, could it be that those scattered bones would automatically combine into skeletons? Fortunately, he was not suddenly attacked when he came, otherwise he would have suddenly fallen into the encirclement of hundreds of skeletons, and it is estimated that his teacher, the old mage Beria, would not be able to bear it when he came.

This road is impassable, Wutong can only turn around and run down the stairs, standing in the underground ruins lounge, looking left and right worriedly, this time the fun is great, the exit is blocked, how can he go back?

Climbed up to the pile of rubble that collapsed in the lounge and looked up, shook his head in abandonment, he couldn't climb up, Sycamore could only run to the library where the four skeletons had just run out, he only found out at this time that the ghost of the pit dad, Hadren, was gone, as if he was hiding when he was chased by the skeleton.

"It's so unjust!" Sycamore huffed and ran back to the library, only to see the door of the library wide open, and the ghost Hadron wandering around the library, seemingly looking at the books on the shelves.

The library is surrounded by ceiling-high bookshelves, filled with books of all kinds, tens of thousands, of which all have black leather covers and blood-red books, and look extremely evil!

"What are you doing here?" Sycamore gasped a few times and walked towards Hadren.

"I'm reading these books, and they seem to be documents left over from this mysterious sect! Do you want to die? ”

In the library, in addition to the walls around the walls, there are large bookshelves that reach to the ceiling, and there is a circle of rectangular bookshelves in the middle of the room, and the whole room is almost filled with books, and Sycamore and Hadron are standing in front of the bookshelf in the center of the room.

Wutong looked at Hadron in amazement, and it pointed to Wutong's feet: "These books seem to be poisonous, look at the ground!" ”

Looking down, Wutong was startled, only to see that the ground around the central bookshelf was full of normal-sized dead mice, some of which were only skeletons, some of which had not yet rotted, and there were also a large number of dead insects scattered on the shelves.

"It could be a trap!" Hadron leaned in and studied, it was a virtual creature, and it couldn't touch these blood-red evil books at all, so it was naturally not afraid of poisoning.

After observing, Sycamore found that only the books on the central bookshelf seemed to be poisonous, while the books on the surrounding walls showed signs of insect eating and rat bites, and he even saw a small beetle crawling around the bookshelf, and a spider weaving a web in the corner of the bookshelf.

Unfortunately, these books that were not dangerous were almost rotten and could not be picked up at all, and as soon as Sycamore touched a book, it dissolved into scattered pieces between Sycamore's fingers.

Shaking his head, it seems that these books are not of much value.

"I said, where the hell is your body?" After searching and finding nothing of value, Sycamore asked impatiently, and he found that Hadron seemed to be much more awake than when he first entered the underground ruins.

"I probably remembered to be there, come with me!"

With that, Hadron turned and floated out, returning to the borrowing office with Sycamore, and pointing to the passage blocked by collapsed rubble: "It should have been possible to pass from here, but it was blocked!" ”

Isn't that nonsense?

Hadron sneered: "Actually, it won't take long to clean it up" When he saw Sycamore's idiot-like eyes, he had to take Indus back to the lounge and go deep into the underground ruins through another passage.

This passage leads to a long corridor hundreds of meters long, but after Wutong walked to the end, he only found a large pile of rubble blocking the passage, and he couldn't help but look at the ghost Hadron with an ugly face.

"Well, maybe while I'm sleeping, the ruins collapsed again," Hadron said embarrassedly, realizing that its memory had gone blank, indicating that it had been asleep for more time than it had expected to wait for rescuers to arrive.

Sycamore was depressed, did he really have to clean up the big pile of rubble that seemed to be blocked I don't know how deep? That's a big project, and if he were alone, I'm afraid it would take many days to clean it up.

Is there any mistake? How many days of civil engineering work in the game?

Wutong is going crazy, now he has gone everywhere he can go in this underground ruin, the remaining two passages are blocked by collapsed rubble, the holes in the two ceilings that have collapsed, he can't climb up, and the exit is blocked by hundreds of skeletons, to put it simply, he is trapped here.

"Don't worry! Don't worry! Let me imagine! ”

Hadron also began to get anxious, and it flew up and down the corridor, and from time to time it burrowed into the walls, during which Sycamore made up for it once, and then heard the ghost shout excitedly, "Here! I found it! ”

Wutong raised his eyes and saw that the ghost leaned out of half of the wall in the middle of the corridor, beckoning to him, and couldn't help but pause, only then did he realize that it might be a secret door!

Hurriedly ran over, Wutong looked at the ghost half of its body in the wall, it pointed to the wall excitedly and said, "There is a room behind here"

Before it finished speaking, the sycamore had already fumbled on the wall, and found two barely noticeable cracks in the wall, this is not a brick joint, the walls of the underground ruins are all made of large rocks, and the length of each strip boulder is the same, and the two slits that the sycamore found are exactly in the middle of the two strip boulders, and the wall gap between the boulder and the boulder is on the wall in the middle of the two slit!

Pushing the wall hard, Sycamore heard the sound of stones rubbing against the fine sand, and the wall shook slightly, which made Sycamore overjoyed, it was indeed a secret door!

However, no matter how hard the sycamore tried, the secret door only made a slight rustling sound, as if it was stuck by something and could not be pushed open, and after groping on the secret door inch by inch for a long time, the sycamore found a thumb-sized hole in a half-human-high position that was covered by moss.

Digging up the moss with his fingers, Sycamore found that this small hole should be a keyhole, and couldn't help but scold: "Nima! Isn't this a trap? How can there be a stone with a lock inside!? ”

He originally thought that this secret door was like in the movie, the kind of movable door that would flip over if you pushed it hard, and he now has a total of 4 keys on his body, one was found on the skeleton in the library, and three were found in the bookcase at the borrowing office, and he took them out one by one and tried them, but the three keys in the bookcase were not right, but the key handle on the skeleton was a copper skull and the key was smoothly inserted into it.

Because of disrepair, the keyhole has been stuffed with moss roots, and the sycamore has been poking and pounding for a long time before hearing "Click!" With a crisp sound, the pressure spring that stuck the secret door was opened, and the big joy of Wutong pushed hard, but he didn't expect that the originally heavy stone door became extremely light after opening the pressure spring, and he threw himself directly into the room with excessive force!

A dog eating and pounced on the ground Sycamore hurriedly got up in fright, as if facing a great enemy, raised the Eternal Magic Rod, but in this huge room, there was nothing, under the light of the four [Dancing Light Technique] light balls, Sycamore saw that most of the ground in this room had fallen, it was a natural huge cave!

In the silent space, except for the breathing of the sycamore, only the cold air flowed, and in the air, there was a strange smell, not rancid, but the smell of something that had been old for many years, and the extremely subtle sound of rustling could be heard.

Cautiously walked to the edge of the big pit, the sycamore probe looked down, the pit was very deep, when the sycamore lowered a ball of light before seeing the bottom of the pit, I couldn't help but gasp!

Skeleton! A pit full of bones!

How many human bones do you have to be able to fill this big pit with an area of hundreds of square meters, and I don't know how deep? Moreover, in the miserable white pile of terrifying bones, there were huge black and red centipedes crawling around densely packed with an arm's length, and the sound of rustling he heard just now was the friction sound of these huge centipedes crawling on the bones!

"Are you sure your body is in this pit?" Sycamore looked at the ghost with a strange expression, if its body was in this pit, it was estimated that there would be no need for them to continue looking, because the thousands of scattered bones at the bottom of the pit, each of which was licked by those huge centipedes brighter than a mirror!

"Uh, maybe buried by these bones?" Hadron's translucent blue-white grimace showed a mixture of fear, fear, despair, and disbelief.

"Then go down and find it yourself! I won't go down! Sycamore looked at the hideous centipedes that were thicker than their arms and were terrified, their voices and the light emitted by the balls of light had already alarmed the big centipedes, and they half-raised their heads, shaking their heads and sweeping the air with their tentacles, as if looking for the source of the sound.

Wutong, who felt that this place should not stay for a long time, took a step back, trying to leave this terrible room, if I guessed correctly, this should be the "abandoned corpse room" mentioned in the book of the skeleton, the mass grave converted from a natural cave has hundreds of large centipedes, if they climb up, it will be terrible.

But to Wutong's surprise, as soon as he took a step back, the soil under his feet suddenly loosened, and the whole person sank down violently, he screamed and fell, and the place where he was standing just now collapsed!

At the last moment, Sycamore instinctively waved his hand and poked the sharp Eternal Wand into the dirt beside him, and after a burst of mud collapse, he hung dangerously on the wall of the pit!

And the big centipede below was also smashed by a rain of earth and rocks and screamed sharply, and climbed up along the pit wall like a tide!

Seeing a large centipede crawling towards him, Wutong screamed in fright, and began to climb up with both hands and feet, fortunately he was not far from the edge of the pit, and the strength added value brought to him by the giant glove and the giant force belt also made his arms far stronger and stronger than before, plus the [climbing] +5 surname of [climbing finger guard], it made him climb up again like a god, and he didn't even have time to shoot the dirt on his body, so he ran to the door!

And behind him, hundreds of big centipedes, snake-like crawled up, quickly chasing him, centipede this thing, even if it is finger long, normal people can't help but feel cold all over their bodies when they see it, not to mention a big guy with a thick arm!

Wutong just ran out of the secret door, turned around and kicked on the upturned secret door, and slammed the heavy stone door shut, but what he didn't expect was that he flew up in a hurry, and the force was too great, and the door panel carved from a whole piece of rock up to a foot thick was kicked and rotated by him, and he heard "Click!" Click! With a few sounds, several of the fastest crawling centipedes were smashed into sections by the rotating stone door like a meat grinder, and half of their bodies splashed with juice and fell in front of Wutong.

The goosebumps-covered sycamore jumped and jumped and screamed, and did a horrific spell bombardment at the writhing centipede corpses on the ground, until they were blasted to smithereens.

Wutong, who only gasped, felt that his two legs were soft, and he couldn't wait to sit on the ground with his ass, which could not be blamed for his timidity, who saw such a big centipede, it is estimated that this is also reflected in this way, which is from instinctive fear.

Wutong touched the cold sweat on the back of his neck, and felt that his legs were not so soft, so he turned his attention to the secret door again, although these big centipedes are scary, but the defense is very low, but the soul energy points are very high, one 800 points, under the 1000% bonus of the level 10 skipping reward, one can only provide him with 8000 soul energy points!

The overflowing soul energy of the hung centipede pounced into his body little by little, letting him know the information of this big centipede:

Mutant Centipede [Small]: Level 0 Level 10, Health 800, First Strike +2, Damage 70, Defense 14, Speed 30, Special: Poison.
