Chapter 46: The Treasure in Progress II.
As the little man said, they weren't very far from the treasure - about a finger's distance from the map, of course.
Converted into an actual distance, it is more than one hundred and fifty kilometers.
By the time the three of them found this place, the sun was about to set, staining the original yellow sand with a patch of blood; In terms of the control of the big man's ability, the sand quickly surged to both sides - the big man's ability was originally only effective against soil and rocks, but as his strength increased, the sand seemed to enter the range of his ability.
In less than five minutes, tons of sand disappeared from under the dunes in front of me and spread to both sides; And a very different hue from the yellow of the sand appeared there—pure black, a boxy stone; And when he saw this stone, the little man couldn't help but shout loudly: "Here, here!" ”
It was a rather hard piece of obsidian, made with a special process, and it was the color that the 'new king' had represented—for, in the holy age, white was considered sacred and pure, and the new king recognized that it was nothing more than self-deception, and he considered black to be the purest color.
To put it simply, this is a hostile extension.
However, it made it easier for the three little men to find.
The little man stepped up to clear the sand around him, and in a few moments the black appeared in front of him completely - it was a small circular square about fifty feet long, and in the center of it was a seal engraved with words belonging to magic.
The little man stood there and lowered his head for a moment, and then said, "This is an existence similar to the 'Gate of the Gods'!" ”
Thanks to Ye Qi, he got a complete door to the gods. The little man has a different kind of familiarity with the magical words on it. It's easy to identify.
Ava walked around the little black square. And let the big man help clean up some more sand around him, but there was real sand around him, and nothing was found at all; Ava walked back and said succinctly, "This is just the place to enter, the treasure is not here!" ”
The big man scratched his head and asked, "What are we going to do?" ”
The little man smiled: "Of course I want to go in and have a look, do you still want to be in a daze at this place?" ”
As he spoke, a high-standard grade magic crystal appeared in his hand. Between the big man and Ava's nod, the little man placed it in the very center of the magic circle in front of him—there was a groove that was exactly the size of a standard magic crystal.
The next moment, the blue light flashed away, it was not just the breath of magic, there were other energies, and by the time the light disappeared, the three of them had already disappeared, and the obsidian magic array on the ground seemed to have experienced thousands of years of decay. One after another turned into powder, with the invasion of hot air. Gone with the wind.
And a moment later, the yellow sand once again covered everything up.
……
The glare of the blue light gradually subsided, and the small, large, and Ava slowly opened their eyes at the same time, and then, their pupils contracted violently, and the three of them gasped in unison.
In front of the three of them, there was a ruin, or a ruin, a relic of a former city!
Undoubtedly, this is a city that has lost its former vitality, it has no inhabitants as a foundation, and there are no enforcers to maintain its order; Yes, except for the occasional glimmer of green light between the cracks.
Squeak, squeak!
In the midst of two shrill shouts, a glimmer of green light burst out of the darkness and rushed towards the little man; The transparent, hair-thin 'tentacles' suddenly rolled it up and controlled it in mid-air.
The squeaky sound came again, and the big man and Ava couldn't help frowning when they looked at the cat-sized mouse, and the big man said very simply: "What a big mouse!" ”
Ava, on the other hand, said in a deep voice, "The forces of nature cannot communicate, and there is a very violent, but lifeless force in its body...... It's like an undead creature! ”
The little man corrected and said, "It's not like, but sure!" ”
The huge rat began to shrink in size in those few transparent filaments, or withered and withered, while the little man scanned the surroundings indifferently—for the little man, the undead and the undead were the best tonics; And he is naturally the natural enemy of such an existence.
Therefore, the previous huge rat chose him as the target of attack, not solely from the perspective of size.
"This is an underground ruin!" The little man looked up at the tall roof that was completely built by some kind of architectural method, and then after recalling it for a moment, he said sharply: "The 'new king' really founded the city in the first place, right?" ”
The big man nodded: "Yes, the city was very large at that time, but that city should be in Tallinn District, not Huangsha District, right?" ”
Ava thought of something and added, "After the original station ended, the inner city of the city established by the 'new king' completely disappeared...... It was thought that it was a fierce battle, which led to that scene; However, from the current point of view, it should be 'transferred'! ”
The big man scratched his head and asked in some disbelief, "Transferring the entire city?" How is this done? ”
The little man laughed and pointed ahead: "Go ahead, there will give us a clear answer!" ”
Following the direction of the little man's finger, a huge towering building appeared at the end of the field of vision, not a spire or a dome, but with a unique sense of magnificence, even in this dark sight, it is also true, and even because of this dark sight, it is even more gorgeous.
A glimmer of light flashed, and the towering building reflected a burst of magnificence, which was amazing.
The little man couldn't help but admire: "Even my own palace seems to be made of precious stones, I really want to see what the treasure of the 'new king' is!" ”
The big man nodded, curious. Ava, on the other hand, shrugged his shoulders indifferently - for the half-druid. The concept of money has long been diluted to an extreme; Even the need for food. It's getting simpler; It can be seen that the druid legends who lived only on green fruits, leaves, and water for the rest of their lives were not groundless.
The three little men, cautiously, began to march towards the center of the city, and almost as they lifted their legs, an eerie aura enveloped and locked them, as if the black, hollow windows of the houses lining the streets were the eyes of the dead city. He kept an eye on them all the time, and the black-covered street in front of him was a big mouth waiting for them to enter, and the green light flashed from time to time, like sharp fangs that were slightly exposed in a breath.
The three of them laughed disdainfully at the same time - this method of using the negative energy environment to create psychological pressure and even hallucinations was all too familiar to the three witchers; Familiar to the point where they can use it better than each other.
After all. When I first became a witcher, I had to spend twenty-seven days of a month in such an environment. Whether it's a cemetery or a catacomb, if they're not hot, if they don't breathe, they're even more like the undead than these undead creatures.
Syllable!
The little man snapped his fingers lightly, and immediately used the 'tentacles' that were as transparent as hair from his body, and poured into the darkness, and the next moment, the sharp squeak became the main theme of the whole street, and the little man and his two friends walked forward without stopping.
For a small man, he undoubtedly doesn't like this kind of 'way of eating', but if someone else sends it to his mouth, he won't deliberately shirk it, after all, according to what the crazy woman said, if he keeps eating this, he is likely to save enough energy again and transform quickly.
Of course, this is the term for a mad woman, and according to Lorante's words, it is another promotion.
The three of them walked very quickly, without stopping, like three ghosts, walking in this darkness - none of the three would be afraid of this darkness or frightened by such darkness, for the witchers the darkness was not all hostile.
After dealing with the number of such peculiar and huge rats in the tunnel, the filaments belonging to the small man became more and more lively, like children waking up from sleep, not only with teeth and claws, but even with low, thin hissing sounds, like snakes.
And the little man who knew what this meant, immediately reminded the two friends: "The appetizer is over, and the main meal should appear!" ”
Bang!
And almost as soon as the little man's words fell, several houses in front of him collapsed without warning, as if the ground was completely suspended in the air, and the whole house fell into it, and a huge skeletal palm stretched out of the hole, and then the huge body.
"Is this the skeleton of a half-giant?"
The little man looked at the huge fifty-foot-tall skeleton and couldn't help but guess, but with a slight wave of his palm, he motioned for his two friends to step back.
When it comes to the abilities of their friends, Big Man and Ava are all too clear; Therefore, without thinking about it, he jumped towards the house not far behind him, waiting for his friends to solve the other party - although they can also help solve it, but with their presence, the little man will not be able to use his full strength.
To put it simply, if they go up, they are completely in the way.
Although the big man and Ava don't want to admit it, when facing the undead and undead, unless they can completely crush each other, otherwise, compared to their friends, it will really get in the way.
The huge skeleton didn't have any weapons, it was attacking with its two huge palms, without the slightest discipline, but the strength was large enough, coupled with the characteristics of the undead, such an opponent would definitely be frowned upon by ordinary people.
But it's so simple for small people.
Like a fallen leaf, the little man passed lightly and effortlessly from the opponent's ferocious attack, and then went around behind the other party, and jumped up while the other party did not turn around, and the whole body stood on top of the opponent's head, and the countless transparent filaments began to penetrate the body of this huge skeleton the moment before the little man jumped up.
The body of the huge skeleton writhed, and the soul fire in the eye socket of the skull. It was beating rapidly. It loses its vocal cords. There are no words, no depiction of the magic array, and it can't speak, but the anomaly of the soul fire can represent everything.
The soul fire went from the original rapidity to the slowness of the future, like the volume of a millstone, and quickly shrank to the size of a soybean grain, which was compared to the volume of the skeleton itself. It's simply not worth mentioning at all; And the huge body also began to crumble, and the bones, like specimens in the laboratory, fell from the body.
It slammed into the ground with a muffled sound.
And when the last bit of soul fire disappeared, these fallen bones began to quickly wither and wither, until they turned into flying ashes.
By the time the little man jumped out of the air, less than two minutes had passed.
But. This is not the end of the story, when the giant skeleton disappears into ashes. The undead began to emerge, at first one or two, then in groups of one or twenty, and sometimes even in groups of more than fifty, and among these undead were not only ordinary skeletons, but also zombies, and even skeleton warriors, and they surged out of the place where the huge skeletons crawled out like wasps, and they were like half of the sea, and they were surging.
Of course, this wave of undead creatures, although it has a strange beauty, is really something that few people can appreciate; Ordinary people will definitely be scared to pee their pants, and people on the mysterious side will also be frightened.
Even for a small man, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, there was no doubt that such a number of undead creatures was indeed unexpected; Even the little man had the idea of 'all the people in this city have become undead' in the back of his heart!
After the little man gestured to the big man behind him and Ava, the whole person jumped into the air again, and the filaments quickly began to appear behind him, condensing, and the next moment he formed an existence that seemed to be butterfly wings, fanning with the little man's mind.
Of course, not only fanning, but also wisps of transparent, but crystal clear powder fell from the air, and this incomparably beautiful powder, like the highest strength of concentrated sulfuric acid, once it fell on the bodies of these undead creatures, it immediately emitted a strong corrosive sound of 'snort'.
The undead creatures, who were supposed to be fearless and tired, fell to the ground one after another in such powder, letting out a silent wail.
This is true for skeletons, zombies, and higher-level skeleton warriors.
When a skeleton warrior melted, a touch of dark blue energy flew up from the soul fire and flew straight towards the little man, and with this energy flying, the soul fire of this skeleton warrior was extinguished in an instant and turned into ashes; This is not just the case with this one skeleton warrior, but with all the undead on the field.
Even because of too much, when a touch of blue energy overlapped, it turned from dull to dazzling, and the little man who flocked to the source was even more like a butterfly wrapped in a light cocoon, trying to compete for his own cocoon, wanting to fly into the air.
It took ten minutes for everything to return to normal.
And when the little man fell from the sky, his footsteps even stumbled a little, and in the face of the concerned eyes of the two friends, he waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, it's just that I'm a little full...... Just digest it! ”
Then, the little man pointed to the potholes and said, "Come on, I just saw something terrible in the air!" ”
The big man and Ava walked over in confusion, and at once, as they stood on the edge of the pit, they were almost blinded by the golden light that emanated from below—patches of gold, built there in the form of gold bricks, emitting a dazzling light, and boxes of colorful gems were placed in them as if they were stones, and in the reflection of the golden light, their own colorful brilliance was revealed.
"This is the treasure of the new king? Is...... It's amazing! ”
The big man looked at the gold and precious stones below, and his voice trembled with a hint of surprise - it wasn't that the big man was surprised, but the wealth below was amazing!
Even if the gold were to be exchanged for Kimpton, even ten million would be the most conservative estimate, and with the addition of the precious stone, ten million more would be a small matter; To put it simply, there is a wealth of more than 20 million Kimpton below, which is 200 million when converted into paper money!
And the magic crystals that are exchanged for standard units are as many as 100,000, although they are ordinary and low-grade, but they are enough to make any rich man who can be called the top crazy for it.
Just when the big man subconsciously wanted to jump off the hole, the little man stopped the big man and gave his friend a reassuring look; The little man looked down, picked up a stone next to him at random, and threw it down like that.
Burst!
It was obviously a void, but it was as if it had been thrown into the water, and the stones disappeared without a trace with ripples.
The big man was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Is this a trap??" ”
The little man nodded: "Well, a very simple, but tempting trap!" ”
