189 The Secret of the Underground Temple-The Thistle Fish

A large number of various torture instruments were soaked in water two meters deep, to say the least, and in the pool, from time to time, huge and strange black shadows swam by, and small fish the size of a palm jumped out of the water in panic and jumped on the surface of the water.

Sycamore now knew where the damp environment of the execution chamber came from.

There is a gap in the wall that has been washed open, and a strong current of water is pouring into the room, and it can be clearly seen that there are some smaller fish in the middle of the water from time to time, it should be that some underground river happens to flow nearby, causing it to penetrate the rock wall of the room, and Sycamore does not think that the former owner of this underground ruins would be so disgusted to prepare a secret private swimming pool for himself.

Strangely, with such a strong current, the water level of this room, which looked like a torture room, never rose, and it was level with the small platform at the exit of the stairs, and it seemed that there should be a water outlet somewhere at the bottom of this torture room, which had been converted into an indoor swimming pool.

"Ugh"

Sycamore looked at the "pool" dumbfounded, this room is about five or six meters high, half of it is underwater, about four or five meters wide, about six or seven meters long, the area is not large, but the submerged room obviously blocks the action of Sycamore's exploration, in addition, regardless of whether Sycamore can swim or not, under the illumination of the four balls of light, you can directly see two huge strange fish at the bottom of the room nearly one meter long, swimming lurking underwater!

The hideous and terrifying monster fish are covered in hard exoskeletons, which look like skeleton fish, and the sharp bone spurs that open all over their bodies, and the bloody mouth full of several layers of huge teeth, are a good indication that they are not vegetarians.

If there is nothing of value in this room, forget it, but the sycamore and the light of the light ball found that at the diagonal corner of the pool, there was also a small platform of steps, which was about five or six meters away from him in a straight line!

The worst thing is that if he wants to go over, it seems that there is only one option left but to fly over.

Sycamore didn't think that the two monster fish in the water that looked like ancient fish would be kind enough to watch him swim above their heads, and they were probably very interested in changing their tastes by living on the small fish brought by the underground river in this pool.

After a moment's hesitation, Sycamore now has only a few options:

The first was to return to the entrance and kill the nearly 100 skeletons and leave the ruins, which was obviously more stupid than dealing with these two monster fish.

The second is to climb up to the two collapsed holes in the lounge or the borrowing office to see if you're lucky, one of the holes is to the ground or to other places, unfortunately, although he has a [climbing ring], but it is not a [gecko ring].

The special effect of [Climbing Ring] is to help Sycamore to climb more easily in places where it is able to climb, instead of being able to fly on straight walls like Spider-Man.

The third is to find a way to clean up the borrowing office, or the pile of rubble blocking the passage at the bottom of the corridor, but Sycamore estimates that with his small body, he doesn't want to see results in a few days, so he doesn't leave here before the night comes, just wait for the skeletons' party.

The last option, of course, was to turn around and leave here, to find out, if there were any other secret rooms or secret passages in the underground ruins, maybe one of them led to the ground, and he didn't think that the entrance he came in was the gate of this underground ruins, but like an emergency safety passage.

"Damn it! How could there be two such ugly strange fish here? Sycamore watched gloomily as he swam around in the pool, preying on the small fish brought by the underground river, and the strange fish that could not even move much.

Although the pond is not small, it is not too comfortable to live in for two big fish that are one meter long, full of strong armor and sharp thorns, and a mouthful of good teeth, and these two fish do not know whether they were raised here by the previous owners of the ruins, or they swim in along the underground river, and they grow too big to get out, in short, they bring a lot of trouble to the sycamore.

If these two strange fish swam in from the underground river, forget it, if it is an artificially bred sycamore stared at the monster and thought for a while, his eyes fell on the diagonal steps of the pool, although there is no trace of a door, but could it be a secret door?

A treasure trove?

Sycamore's eyes lit up, and he rolled up his sleeves energetically, as usual a [lightning shock] opening, when the bursting ball lightning exploded in the water, and a layer of blue fine lightning flashed on the water surface, in addition to a dozen palm-sized dead fish floating in the pool, it was as if someone had thrown two mixers into the pool.

The two strange fish who were stimulated jumped up frantically by the electricity, desperately stirring the pond water, and even swam to the steps where the sycamore was standing, trying to jump up and bite the sycamore standing on the edge of the pool, and he was frightened and quickly took a few steps back to stand on the higher steps.

The attack just now gave Wutong a rough information about these two strange fish:

[Tribulus terrestris: Health 2500, First Attack +3, Damage 210, Defense 52, Speed 50 [Underwater]]

Damage 210! I can't see the level! The preliminary estimate is definitely more than 25 or more!

Wutong gasped, although he was mentally prepared when he saw the big teeth of the magnified version of the piranha of these two strange fish, but he didn't expect it to be so perverted, not to mention that he was a small body mage with a health value of only 60 points at level 20, even if he was a warrior, it was estimated that it would be a matter of one bite.

Moreover, Sycamore found that his spell damage could not break their defenses! This is something that Wutong has never encountered, because ordinary animal creatures can almost ignore their resistance.

The spell resistance of creatures comes from intelligence, and the intelligence of ordinary animals is usually only 1 point, so before Wutong could unscrupulously use his super high magic injury to bully these poor animals who are almost 0 magic resistance.

Wutong didn't think that the intelligence of these two thistles would be very high, I don't know if it was because of the armor-like exoskeleton on their bodies, or because of the barrier of the pool water, just now his [lightning shock] didn't even hurt them a little HP, if it was the water, why did those little fish turn their bellies?

The puzzled Wutong didn't believe in evil and threw a [lightning shock] into the pool again, and sure enough, it was still [miss~], it seems to be related to the exoskeletons on these two strange fish, they won't be insulated, right?

This is called Wutong is at a loss, his few attack spells can't threaten them at all, [Lightning Shock] is ineffective, [Freezing Ray], [Acid Splash], how much are you going to let him throw into the pool to freeze this pool of water and turn it into a pool of acid? Don't forget that this pool is living water!

[Dizziness]? They were dizzy in the water, and the landlubber didn't dare to go into the water to attack them, right?

[Flash]? Same as above, even if they can't see, they're in the water.

[Phantom Tribulus terrestris]? The fish doesn't even have legs at all

Not to mention [striking the necromancy] or something, although they are in bone armor that looks like skeletons, they are alive.

[Projectile items] may cause some damage to them, but the problem is that their high physical defense makes people a little desperate, and the physical damage of the sycamore can't break people's defenses at all.

Speechless for a while, Wutong looked around in disappointment, do you want to give up again?

But when Wutong's eyes fell on a whip hanging on the half-cut shackle protruding from the water, he couldn't help but froze for a moment, and subconsciously looked up at the ceiling, where he had just seen a row of iron rings, which seemed to have been used to hang something before, and many of the iron rings still had small half-cut ropes left.

How to swing past?

In the movie, I saw someone do this, and when the two thistles swam away, he quickly stretched out his eternal wand to pick up the long whip hanging on the gallows, which was a long whip made of unknown leather, with a wooden handle nearly a foot long at the end.

The long whip is about three meters long, quite soft and tough, and on the whip head, there is also a sharp metal thistle with a five-nail head, which is not a horse whip used to drive a carriage, but a murder weapon used in battle!

If you use a brutal weapon with a spike on the head of the whip to draw a horse, it is estimated that a guy can tear the horse's skin open, and may even tear off a large piece of skin!

In such a damp place, it hasn't even rotted, probably because the long whip is coated with a thick layer of butter and is well preserved:

Combat Whip [Fine]: Damage 2d8, [Tear] +1, Durability 25/25, Weight 1 lb.

This is [exquisite] quality equipment! A good thing that's even higher than his [fine] quality skinning knife!

Wutong, who had never played with whips, tried to shake the whip, but found that either he couldn't shake it at all, or he would whip himself after throwing it, so he returned to the relatively empty corridor and practiced many times, so he barely mastered the method of using this soft weapon.

Throwing the whip out of the trick, the sycamore can't do it, but shaking the long whip away, throwing it out, aiming at the good head of the sycamore, it is not a difficult task, especially practiced a few times to whip the copper coin standing on the ground, to ensure that one of the two can accurately hit the target, and then rushed back to the pool with the whip.

Ignoring the thistles swimming in the water, Sycamore shook off the whip and slammed it into the hoop on the ceiling, and after failing twice and dodging a sneak attack from which the tribulus suddenly jumped, Sycamore successfully wound the whip and stuck it in the hoop.

After pulling hard, confirming that it was stable and strong enough to carry his weight, Wutong took a breath, stared at the two strange fish swimming around the surface of the water, and when they were the farthest away from him, he suddenly screamed, dragged the long whip and ran violently, bent his legs and swung over!

"Be careful!"

Hadron, the ghost who had been nervously watching Sycamore's actions, shouted, and heard "Whoa! With a sound of water, two thistles jumped up from under the water, opened their terrifying bloody mouths and gnawed at the sycamore in the air!

"[Projectile]!"

"[Stunge]!"

At the last moment, Sycamore launched the two spells that had been prepared a long time ago, and a whistling stone accurately hit an iron thistle that had just jumped out of the water, smashing it back into the water, while the other was hit by Sycamore's [Stun Technique] and fell weakly.

A dangerous leg caught up on the steps on the other side, Wutong stumbled, and was almost blocked back by his habitual surname, and when he barely stood firm, he quickly shook the long whip wrapped around the iron ring on the roof, loosened it, and turned his head to retreat to the corner of the stairs to prevent the thistle terrestris from jumping up and biting himself again.

I thought I was going to look for the secret door to open the mechanism, but I just leaned my back up, but I didn't want to be empty, and fell in backwards!

Regardless of the pain of being dropped, Sycamore got up with a bone, and after finding that there was no monster behind him, he was relieved, behind the secret door was a long staircase that sloped upward, Sycamore even felt the flow of air and smelled the smell of earth, and even a glimmer of light could be seen above!

After a moment's pause, he and Hadron looked at each other with great joy: "Exit? ”

Tucking the battle whip into the backpack behind his back, Sycamore quickly reprepared the spell he had used, poured a mouthful of comprehensive juice, and then lifted his robe and ran up the stairs!

Above the passage was also an extremely large room, but it had been buried nearly half of the space by the collapsed earth, but none of this was important to Sycamore, the important thing was that he saw that the top of the collapsed mound of dirt revealed a hole the size of a basin, and a bright ray of sunlight was projected into the hole, and Sycamore even saw the verdant leaves outside the hole!

The overjoyed Sycamore didn't have time to search the empty room, which was mostly buried in the mud, and climbed up the collapsed mound with both hands and feet, and got out of the small hole without caring about staining his robes!

Pushing aside some dirt and mud blocks, the sycamore at the bottom of a dirt pit appeared and almost cried with joy, Nima! It's finally out! The few hours that I didn't see the sky were so depressing!

Struggling to crawl out of the dirt pit, Sycamore found that it seemed to be a newly collapsed earthen pit, probably because of the erosion of the underground river, which made the soil here no longer so solid, causing the room to collapse, which gave Sycamore a chance to escape.

And at this time, the long-lost guide prompt also sounded:

"Evil Destroyer, you just explored a ruin, but it seems that you don't know enough about the underground world, only a small part of the area has been explored, it is recommended that you learn the relevant knowledge and skills, or recruit more men, which will be beneficial to your tomb robbing work."

Wutong was embarrassed, since his camp tendency changed, the guide's prompt became a little nonsensical, and after a look at the Zhi, Wutong was surprised to find that he had found four or five rooms in the underground ruins, but the "completion of exploring the ruins" displayed on the Zhizhi was only "7.3%", and I couldn't help but be staggered, such a large place, it was only 7.3% of the area of the entire ruins, could it be that under the entire forest, it was all the scope of the ruins, right?

"What are you going to do now?" Ghost Hadron asked in disappointment.

"What to do? Uh, let's go back first and find more people, will you come with me, or will you stay and wait for me? ”

Sycamore looked around and found himself in a bush in the middle of the forest, the collapse of the pit had caused the ground to sink a little, and many of the low bushes had even turned up their roots.

"I can't get too far from here, or I'll disappear or be killed."

Hadron looked at Sycamore worriedly: "Are you sure you will come back?" ”

Wutong nodded while happily counting the loot he had obtained in the ruins: "Of course! ”

"Are you sure!?" Hadron was somewhat unconvinced.

"Nonsense!" Sycamore looked at the pile of things in his backpack:

Two tin scroll boxes, a silver ring, a silver-plated emblem, a red crystal necklace, four relic keys, a sun disc pendant, and a battle whip [exquisite]

Just kidding, he's only been in the ruins for a few hours, and the soul energy pool is almost full, if it's outside, go up there to find such a good thing? Besides, he's scavenged such a big bunch of goodies that you can't get out there! Although the vast majority of items do not have a caste, jewelry items in "Endless" usually have a hidden surname such as "property", and of course he will come back.

"You don't lie to me?" Hadron was still skeptical.

Wutong was furious: "Why are you so suspicious of a ghost?" I said I would come back, and I will definitely come back! "He only explored 7.3% of the area of the ruins, and he got a task, who knows what good things and tasks can be taken in the remaining 90%! Fools don't come back!

If you don't guess wrong, this ruin should be a place similar to a copy in a traditional online game, but in a different form, Wutong has already been contacted here in advance when other players are far from getting involved in the copy, and it is obvious that the benefits will be much greater than those of the latecomers!

Theoretically speaking, the reward for completing the "first kill of the dungeon" will definitely be much more generous than the large number of repeat dungeons for latecomers!

"Alright! I hope you'll be back before I forget you" Hadron turned around in frustration and drifted back into the ruins, he suddenly turned back again: "That's right! I have one more thing I want to ask you! ”

Wutong was stunned: "What? ”

"Can you go and help me see what is going on with my "Chamber of Commerce" of the Islands? That's my former inheritance," Hadron said with some dejection, as if he didn't have any expectations for his body to be recovered, right?
