Chapter 700: The Treasure Cave (Part II)
With the opening of the gate, a spectacular dungeon style slowly unfolds in the eyes of everyone.
Walking through the door, Charles was shocked to realize that the doorway he was in was only one of the passages leading to the deep nest, looking around the left and right, climbing along the walls of the dungeon, the dense doorways, either closed or open, like ant nests scattered all over the dungeon.
Looking up, the hot breath came from the top of the head, not from the feet, and Qian Fan next to him also discovered this detail, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "We won't go to the bottom of the crater." β
"I feel like we're surrounded by lava." Charles nodded matter-of-factly.
There is no need for dark vision inside the dungeon, as clusters of crystals that glow naturally are scattered across the rock walls and ground, illuminated by a crimson glow.
"Follow me, don't walk around!" The Flame Seeker tensed, "The last time I came in with that group of treasure hunters, one of them touched something and was consumed by the Flame Trap. β
"There's one area that I've carved out with the treasure hunters and it's safe, and the rest of the area is unexplored land full of dangers."
The Flame Seeker takes the team to a wasteland in the dungeon, where a small lava river flows not far away, and if it's an illusion or not, Charles seems to see the shadows of fish and other creatures faintly at the bottom of the lava river.
"Set up camp first!"
As wanderers, Lala and Flame Seekers set up camp and then explored from south to north, stopping from time to time to set up defensive traps with thieves' tools.
Charles, Qianfan, Jiemi, and Ren Qingwu began to set up camp, each of them with a small tent. It's easy to raise a fire, and the stones picked up randomly on the wasteland are all flint, and the collision between the two immediately emits dazzling sparks.
After completing the camp. Standing on the rocky beach of the dungeon, Charles looked at the huge firelight in the depths, and muttered to himself, "...... What's hidden there? β
"This is the dragon's l......air," Mavis replied to him, "the red dragon, the red dragon likes to build its own nest in the volcano, and judging by the scale and the dragon's breath I perceive, the owner of the dragon's lair is at least an old red dragon......"
"Still. There's another breath hidden, and I suspect that this dragon's nest has been overrun by other creatures, so be careful when you hunt for treasure! Mavis reminded.
Be careful, of course.
Charles has not lost sight of the purpose of his trip.
Spouse of the former Lord of the Dark Keep. The tequila that the Moon Elf mage Ashmi asked for by name. This is obviously a precious magical material above purple quality.
In addition to the agave, the Charles also had to search for the material for the Creator's set, Dragon's Breath.
Dragon's Breath is required for forging leg armor, and other parts may also require this material, therefore. Charles plans to collect as many dragons as he can.
The six members of the team had a hurried dinner with their own agendas. No one chose to go offline to rest at this time, and after the food in the stomach was roughly digested, the Flame Seeker beckoned everyone: "Let's go!" β
In the open environment of the dungeon, the team does not have to worry about monster sneak attacks and ambushes from other players and aboriginal treasure hunters, and the journey is much faster.
"Complete Ashmi's quest first, and according to the quest guidance, the tequila grows in the lava cliffs." Flame Seeker said.
About six or seven hundred meters from the camp is the cliff.
The lava abyss is at least 100 meters down, and there are also caves on the rock walls on the other side of the cliff. By the light of the lava fire, the dark shadows in some of the caves were reflected.
"Lookβ" The Flame Seeker pointed to a cliff platform more than twenty people above the ground. There is a magical plant that emits fire, "Most likely it is tequive!" β
The shadow thief lalala crossed his arms and supported his chin and said: "Well, the cliff is a bit dangerous, it will definitely die if it falls, I recommend using a flying spell to pick it." β
With that, Lala Lala turned her gaze to Charles and Jemi.
"Flying spells......" The lava fire reflected Charles' slightly gloomy face, and he had been staring at the rock wall across the cliff, the cavern that was inexplicably unsettling to him, and nine times out of ten it was inhabited by monsters that were not easy to provoke.
"Wait!"
The Flame Seeker was not in a hurry to make a decision, but instead sat down cross-legged and pulled out three shiny ancient coins from his bag.
Bite.
The wanderer puts his palms together and shakes the 3 coins in his palm, and finally the 3 coins spread out on the ground.
One side is positive, and both sides are negative.
"No, the predictions about spells aren't good." The Flame Seeker shook his head.
Everyone looked at each other, when did the wanderer also have the ability to prophecy and divination?
"This is one of the professional abilities of a dungeon explorer, who can only predict the most basic good and evil, but cannot predict the source of the danger." The Flying Flame Seeker said, picking up the ancient coins one by one, "This time it's rock climbing, I'll go down and pick tequila myself, let's take a look at divination first." β
Three ancient coins spilled from the Wanderer's palm again.
Three-sided!
"Whew......" Flying Flame let out a long sigh of relief, "It seems that the regular climbing method works, I can go with Lalala, and the climbing is easy for wanderers." β
"Be careful!"
The Flame Seeker himself is very confident in his [Prophecy] ability, and the rest of the team doesn't have much to say. Charles patted him on the shoulder and slipped a flying scroll, "If it's not good, use the scroll, we'll pick you up on it!" β
"Don't worryβ" The Flame Seeker grinned toothily and said no nonsense, pulling out his thief's toolbox and heading out into the abyss with a bundle of professional climbing ropes.
Thousand Sails acts as a humanoid stake, and the other end of the rope is held tightly by a canonical warrior.
The strength attribute of the Luskan warrior is close to 30 points, and if this is a tug-of-war hemp rope, at least a dozen ordinary adult men must be lined up at the other end to compete with him.
A few of them watched as the Flame Seeker slid down the cliff, and as prophesied, the Wanderer landed on the cliff platform without the slightest hindrance.
A row of pickup prompts pops up in the team info bar:
"[Tequive]*1 joins the team's temporary warehouse, waiting to be assigned."
There are seven or eight similar prompts.
In just a few minutes, the rope reaching for the bottom of the cliff trembled, and the Flame Seeker waved at the crowd on the platform, but he did not make a sound, and the people on the ground tried to restrain their voices, and the scene was like a silent movie.
Qian Fan unloaded his shield and sword, grabbed the rope in both hands and pulled it up in a circle, and soon, the Flame Seeker's hands gripped the bare rocks on the ground, ready to climb up on his own.
However, at this time, the lava abyss suddenly changed.
The magma of the abyss was like boiling water, and it was actually climbing up layer by layer, and the shadow thief Lala pointed to the cave on the rock wall opposite the cliff and exclaimed: "There is a black shadow shaking, the monster is coming out!" β
"Come upβ"
Charles stepped forward to grab the Flame Seeker and lifted the Wanderer off the cliff with one hand, "Get out of here!" β
Hearing this, the six turned around and started to run.
The dark shadow in the cave walked out, and Charles glanced back as he ran, slightly stunned.
These shadows are not monsters, but another squad of players, whose shadows are magnified by the glow of the lava fire, to the point that they look like monsters.
"Leave these guys alone!" The Flame Seeker also found out, and said without replying: "They must have triggered the lava trap, don't stop, I have a hunch that this place will soon be covered with lava!" β
Outside.
Dwarven mountain town.
The creatures in the ruins, whether they were trolls or humans, felt the tremor on the soles of their feet at this moment, and they couldn't help but raise their heads, their eyes frightened, and look at the highest peak of the troll mountain.
It was a dormant volcano called Smoke Peak, and its awakening was not good news for Am's land and neighbor Tassel.
Because, Smoke Peak is one of the lairs of an ancient red dragon, and the sudden eruption of this volcano will most likely mean the return of this evil dragon!
"Boom"
The dungeon world is also overrun by the lava sea, and the team of players is reduced to ashes in the lava before they even get out of the cave.
"Damn, we're going to run into the depths of the dragon's lair!"
The lava was still spreading everywhere, and the camp that the team had set up not long ago was engulfed in an instant.
"Group Flying ......" Charles communicates with the silver dragon spirit in the Mithril Armor as he runs, "Give me a group flight!" β
The aura of the five-ring spell immediately enveloped the six members of the squad.
"Huh?"
Running and running, Lala found that her feet were light, and she kicked her feet on the ground with a little force, and the whole person floated up as if she had no weight. The female shadow thief glanced at the system prompt, and then knew what was going on, and couldn't help but smile with her eyes flickering: "What a group flying technique!" It turns out that the priest still has this five-ring spell! β
Lala reminds Thousand Sails, Jami, and Flame Seekers.
The six members of the team all rose into the air, but Jemi and the Flame Seeker didn't look at Charles quite right, with a deep look of inquiry.
Everyone just flew to the high ground of the dragon's nest, and after a quarter of an hour, the six members of the team landed on a low hill in the depths, and the top of the low hill was flattened, and there was a small pit.
As soon as he landed, the sharp-eyed Flame Seeker pointed to the pit and exclaimed, "Dragon Remains! The corpse of a dragon! β
The smell of burning and black smoke wafted from the huge dry bones.
Even if it was just a corpse, the residual dragon breath and evil energy made everyone's hearts feel as if they had crushed a stone, heavy.
"The corpse of the red dragon!" There was a surprised soul fluctuation from Mavis, "...... Elderly Red Dragon ...... Wait, there is still a faint dragon will left on the dragon corpse. β
Before the words fell, a thin red dragon soul floated up from the dragon's remains.
"Roarβ"
The Red Dragon Soul let out an angry roar, "Adventurer, you disturbed my slumber! β
"Sleeping? Is it called a deep sleep when you die? β
The six members of the squad are not ordinary players, they are all very bold, and the roar of the red dragon's soul is just noise to everyone, and it does not have any deterrent effect.
Charles was even more direct, holding the golden Ogmar emblem, and walked towards the dragon skeleton while chanting a spell.
It's time to dispel evil spirits!
The next reversal stunned the rest of the team.
ββ¦β¦ No...... Don't ......" (To be continued.) )
