Chapter Seventy-One: The Ayss of Amarnas
"Click, click......" The sound of the gears turning, and the eight thick chains pulled the wide platform down slowly.
"Uh... Rumble! "There was a thud, and the heavy metal platform descended to the ground floor, or rather, the bottom of the safe zone.
The so-called safe area is the hollow area of the mountain range where Amanas is located, and after thousands of years of exploration, the powerful monsters here have been swept away, leaving only the ubiquitous low-level undead creatures, in Karel's words, all children's playthings.
However, in Emis, the number of people who have lost their lives on these playthings is already innumerable.
"Oh, there's a new person coming, this time, how many of you will come back alive? Heehe......" In the darkness, a sharp and strange voice sounded, like holding an eraser glass, which made people's hairs stand on end.
"Boom!" There was a crisp metallic sound, and everyone except Karel drew their weapons and pointed at the place where the sound came from in the darkness.
"Da, da, da." With the sound of the wooden stick hitting the ground, the short old man walked out of the darkness, and the light emitted by the ball of light in Thresa's hand was just enough to shine on the old man.
He was only half as tall as a normal person, but he was not a dwarf or a dwarf, but a strange old man, dressed in a heavy black robe, with age spots on his chin exposed under the hood, and from Karel's angle, he could even see the atrophied gums that had no teeth left.
The old man carried a large box behind him, almost the size of her whole person.
"Young, energetic lad, little girl, do you want to buy something?" Looking at the few people on guard, the old man said slowly.
It turned out to be a merchant, and a few people from the Bronze Shield Guard breathed a sigh of relief, lifted their guard, and then went up to ask what goods were available.
Even though they have just been resupplied outside, it doesn't stop us from seeing what kind of things the merchants here will sell, so it will be of great help to the next action.
Flame Oil, Holy Water, Dark Pine Resin, Corrupt Asphalt, Antidotes, Healing Potion, Mana Potion, and a few spooky keys and strange stones.
The former can be bought for gold, but those keys and stones can only be exchanged for the tail vertebrae of the undead.
What is the tail vertebrae of the undead used for? Karel was puzzled, but kept the incident firmly in his heart.
Although the items here are not cheap, they are also relatively easy to use, it doesn't matter if a small bottle of flame oil can be used all day, several people in the team have more or less bought some, even if they don't need it now, they will always have a useful place when they go on adventures in the future.
"Let's go." Seeing that several people had bought their things, Karel, who was standing on the side, said that the enchanted item Karel had its own poison and potion skills, and the antidote was dealt with by the Shadow Cloak, and there was no shortage of healing potions.
Coming to the edge of a fault in the ruins, Thunderhoof pulled the mechanism on the ground with all his might, and in the rumbling sound of machinery, an iron bridge suspended by dozens of chains was slowly lowered. This is the bridge of the Sins of Amarnath, connecting the ruins with the abyss.
When the last person walked over the bridge of the Sin Domain, the bridge of the Sin Domain began to rise slowly, leaving behind everyone a 40-meter-long abyss rift.
"Roar!" The Amenas Abyss is different from the Amanas Ruins, not in the quiet environment of the ruins, but from time to time you can hear some strange roars and roars.
"Well, ghouls, abominations, vomit banshees, revenants, putrid ooze monsters, gargoyles, demon corpses, skeletons, and zombies are just a few more." Sniffing lightly at the rancid smell in the air, Karel whispered.
The large list of names before "And ......" and a few people who made the Bronze Shield Guard very uncomfortable, I didn't expect there to be other caves.
"What else?" The dwarf shaman asked.
"No, I don't know, it feels like it's something weirder and more powerful." After all, Karel didn't have the ability to perceive extrasentience, and it was remarkable that he could distinguish those undead species from the hearing he had trained in Icecrown Fortress.
Of course, this is not good news for the people of the Bronze Shield Guard.
Because it is a transportation hub in the abyssal rift, even though the passenger flow has remained slightly higher than zero for many years, Amanas has a large number of "tourists" left a record thousands of years later.
Most of them are cut with knives and axes.
"Danger!" "There's a monster ahead!" "To the left is the library, which is full of oversized monsters!" Many of these messages have strange dark red marks on them, which also shows how attentive the tourists who left these messages are.
"How to get there?" Looking at the road in all directions in front of him, Karel asked.
"Uh......" Therisa just snorted and didn't say anything.
Well, it seems that the person who posted the task didn't know where the thing was, maybe he learned that there was such an item, so he posted it as a task.
"Then let's go to the left." After a moment's thought, Karel took the lead and headed to the left.
As for the others, they don't know where to go anyway, so they just follow along.
Sneak attack, throat lock, ambush, piercing, a set of continuous techniques like flowing water, instantly dismembered a fat abomination, and saw the eyelids of several people around jump.
Especially the dwarf thief Siljan, whose jaw is about to fall to the ground.
Although the moves practiced in the virtual game are difficult to perform in reality due to physique problems, if the physique can meet the standard, it is definitely a master among masters, because no one in reality will use death tens of thousands of times to practice their attack skills.
Letting go of the last abomination, the place where the Karel and the others were at this time was a vast library, but unfortunately it had been destroyed beyond recognition, most of the books had been burned, and there were splashes of blood and corpses everywhere, there were traces of 10,000 years ago, and there were also a group of adventurers.
Judging by the density and strength of the undead creatures, it is likely that the last group of visitors were killed as soon as they entered, as evidenced by the fresh bones near the door.
Kicked away the ghoul corpse that was blocking the bookshelf, and after hitting the bookshelf, three deep marks were cut on the body, and the eyes of the undead creature that was almost divided into four pieces suddenly ignited the fire of the soul again, and struggled to roar up!
Scold! With a soft sound, the wide fangs of the dragon father instantly cut off the ghoul's head, and the rekindled soul fire dimmed again.
Putting away the dagger, Karel stood in front of the bookshelf, the wide bookshelf even reached the ceiling, it was full of all kinds of books, Karel took out one or two and flipped through them, but unfortunately the ancient characters could not be read at all.
Maybe it's a good start, this time I was lucky enough, I found the book "Shadows in the Light" in a few minutes, and the magic circle that has been intact for tens of thousands of years has protected this heavy big book very well, Seresa took the book from Treis's hand, didn't even look at it, put it directly into her space backpack, and then walked towards another door of the library.
Try not to go back, so that you can ensure maximum search efficiency in an unfamiliar urban environment.
As soon as the heavy iron door of the library opened, countless black shadows shot out!
