Chapter 19: The Second Rock Hall
After pulling Arya into the corridor, Finn didn't stop, but reminded everyone to stay as far away as possible from the countless undead monsters in the hall before the two walls of fire were extinguished.
At Finn's reminder, Arroyo, Lilith, and Arya continued to follow Finn through the corridors without resting. After about two minutes, everyone felt that they had already run a long distance, so they slowly stopped and looked behind them, and found that there were no undead creatures in the dark corridor.
"Hah...... Ha...... We seem to... Escaped......" Arroyo breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the ground gasping for breath.
"Hmm...... Looks... We're safe for now. Fein quickly adjusted his breathing rate and raised his arm to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead.
After running for so long, the undead in the Rock Hall should be out of their maximum hatred range.
After making sure that there were no more pursuers behind him, Finn hung the Whistling Blade back on his back and took out two bottles from his Void Pocket that he had purchased at a magic shop in Dawnwind before his departure.
"Lilith, Arya, this is a primary mana potion, you can replenish your mana now." Finn glanced at the two girls beside him and handed them two bottles of primary magic potion one after the other.
In the recent breakout battle, Lilith consumed some mana, and Arya's combat style of firing high-frequency light arrows with a crossbow almost wiped out all the mana.
Lilith is a warlock, and Arya is not an orthodox spellcaster, but her exclusive specialty also requires enough magic to be effective, and this witcher's ranged combat style is actually very similar to that of her advanced class.
Therefore, mana is a very important combat resource for these two girls.
Lilith took the flask from Finn's hand and without hesitation, she raised her head and drank the blue potion from the vial.
Arya thanked Finn, hesitated for a moment as she looked at the magic potion in her hand, and stretched out her finger to pull the small cork at the mouth of the pill bottle.
After handing Lilith and Arya two vials full of blue liquid, Finn smiled tiredly, then took one out of his empty pocket and drank it for himself, then took out a roll of bandages and sat down against the wall.
In the previous breakout, Fein rushed to the front of the team, resisting almost all the attacks of the undead creatures.
Although the low-level skeleton warriors and skeleton shooters did little damage to him, the damage added up to a lot, and he had lost nearly half of his health by this time, and there were many new rusty sword slash marks on his chain mail.
"That's... Thank you so much to you and Lilith for saving my life before. โ
Finn was bandaging his wound when he heard Arya's voice beside him.
He looked up and saw Arya sitting next to him with the empty bottle of primary magic potion in her hand.
"Oh, you're welcome." Finn looked at Arya and responded, "Actually, I didn't think much of it at the time. Now that I think about it, if I had really fought with so many bones, I wouldn't have been able to explain it there, haha......"
"Poofโ"
"Hey, don't laugh out loud, make me look stupid."
"No, you're not stupid, you're gentle... Uh, cute. Arya thought about it and decided to replace gentleness with cuteness.
In front of men of the same age in appearance, she always feels embarrassed to praise each other for their gentleness.
"Ah, yes." Arya suddenly thought of something, "Finn, I discovered that you have something other than dark vision that the rest of us don't have. โ
"What's that?" Finn curious.
"The speed of your speech." Arya smiled, "When you commanded us to break through before, you spoke faster than any wizard I've ever seen, and your words were very clear, maybe you still have the talent to become a wizard." โ
"Oh, that's what you say." Finn also smiled, "When you have the opportunity to command more than a dozen regiments to fight on the battlefield at the same time, you will understand why I can speak so quickly." โ
"Huh?"
"Don't worry, I'm kidding."
With that, he waved his hand to signal that Arya should not be surprised, and then took out a few sheets of bread from his empty pocket and distributed them to the others.
The group had arrived at the Melore pit before noon, and had not yet eaten lunch.
"That's right, Arya." After bandaging his wounds, Finn spoke to the elf girl beside him while eating the bread.
"What's wrong?" Arya took a bite of the dough and turned her head to look at Finn.
"One thing came to mind, too." Finn looked at the elven girl in front of him, "IfโI mean, if I start an adventure group, or even a private guild in the future, would you be interested in joining my group?" โ
As the words fell, he quietly watched Arya, calmly waiting for Arya's reply.
After hearing Finn's invitation, Arya did not reply to Finn immediately, but was secretly taken aback in her heart.
On the continent of Ferdia, an adventure party only needs five members to register with any of the adventurer's guilds in the civilized realm.
However, compared to an adventure party, the establishment of a private guild not only requires a large investment of money, but also usually has a high prestige in the area where the guild was founded, otherwise the guild will not be recognized and supported by the local residents.
In short, starting a private guild is a life milestone challenge for many people. Finn made this invitation to her in person, indicating that he probably had this ambition in his heart.
"Give me a moment to think about it." Eventually, after thinking about it for a moment, Arya replied, "Or, let's talk when we get out of here alive." โ
"Well, that's right." Finn nodded, shoving a small piece of bread into his mouth.
โฆโฆ
After resting for a while, everyone felt that their physical strength was almost replenished, so they explored deeper into the corridor.
As he walked, Finn pondered a question that puzzled him as he followed Arroyo behind him with his greatsword to cover Arroyo's path at the front of the group.
In his memories of his previous life, he remembered that the underground caverns of the Melol Mines were clearly connected to the labyrinth of rotting corpses, and were not connected to other underground areas.
However, he was now 100% sure that the place he had arrived at was not that low-level copy called the Carrion Labyrinth, but another lair of the dead.
Why is that?
Could it be that this Ferdia continent in this life is different from the game world in his memory in his previous life?
Fein frowned, unable to think of a reasonable explanation for a moment.
Compared with Finn's confusion, Arroyo, who was at the front of the team and opened the way, was more relaxed, but he also had a sense of disobedience in his heart that he couldn't say how he felt.
As the only thief in the team, Arroyo's main mission is to scout the road, spot traps, and clear traps. The young thief felt that he was already very careful, but after walking in the corridor for so long, he was stunned that he didn't even find a single trap, and the entire corridor remained unobstructed for everyone to walk.
While it's a good thing that you don't encounter pitfalls along the way, anything that goes too well will always feel abnormal.
Arroyo felt that there must be something hidden in this ghost place that he didn't know about.
That's what his instincts told him.
"My lord, there is no road ahead." Suddenly, Arroyo lifted the glowing stone and shook it in front of his eyes, and turned back to Finn behind him with a look of regret.
As the words fell, the young thief stepped aside.
Fein used his dark vision to look ahead, and found that there was indeed a stone wall in front of him, as Arroyo had said.
"Arroyo, isn't there a secret door on this wall?" Finn pinched his chin and thought for a moment, and asked Arroyo.
"I think it's gone." Arroyo spread his hands, "I just put my hand on the wall and touched it a few times, but I didn't find the slightest dentation. โ
"Yes......" Finn narrowed his eyes at Arroyo's words, and then fell back into deep thought.
After a while, he quickly referred to the experience of his previous life to make a guess, and suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Lilith, detect magic." Finn turned to Lilith and said.
"Hmm." Lilith nodded, then cast a spell as Finn had instructed.
Soon, Lilith blinked, and turned her head to look at a side wall beside her.
"There's magic sensing ...... here," she muttered softly, reaching out to the wall, and her fingertips then sank into it.
When Finn saw this scene, he immediately understood why.
, Four-Ring Spell (Sorcery), the caster can create a realistic wall, door, or ceiling at a designated location, these fake obstacles can be completely fake from the outside, but can actually be passed through by any object.
The reason why there are no secret doors here is because the passage to the rest of the place is obscured by a false wall of illusions.
Lilith led the way through the illusion wall, and Finn, Arya, and Arroyo followed Lilith through the wall to the other side of the wall.
The four of them gathered together, standing in place with their backs to the illusionary stone wall, and another rock hall that was equally wide and dark came into view.
Finn looked at the new rock hall and saw that the four corners of the hall were not filled with the annoying piles of bones that could be thought of, but rather a suspicious sarcophagus in the center of the hall, and the rest of the hall was empty.
After observing the layout of the hall, Finn gave a brief explanation of what he had seen, and Arroyo then picked up his dagger and crittled down to slide it down the floor in the direction of the sarcophagus.
Soon, the dagger slid in the direction of the slide and hit the base of the sarcophagus with a "clang".
The moment they heard the voice coming from the front, Finn, Arya, Arroyo, and Lilith immediately concentrated on high alert.
However, a few seconds passed, and nothing happened.
"There doesn't seem to be a trap here, am I being too careful?" Arroyo gritted her teeth and muttered to herself.
After Arroyo used his short sword to test the traps and traps that might be triggered, the four of them approached the sarcophagus one after the other, and found that the sarcophagus was not covered with coffin boards.
"There's nothing in there." Arroyo held the glowing stone and poked his head over the sarcophagus and found the coffin empty, "My gut tells me it's weird here, but I can't say what is wrong. Did you find anything? โ
"I found out...... Six corpses that are about to be produced. A cold voice answered him suddenly.
โ๏ผโ
Hearing these cold words, the four people standing next to the sarcophagus turned their heads sharply to look in the direction where the voice came from, and then found a skeleton wearing black armor, which was in the way of the illusion wall when they came.
