Chapter 8 Excavation of Ruins

And at the same time as O'Connor, Eve and the others ran into the capital of the dead, Nightfeng also immediately received a prompt from the Nightmare Mark:

As a side note: Advanced Ability - The level of Riding Mastery must be lower than the level of Basic Footwork and Basic Endurance.

As a side note: An additional 2 potential points are required to learn this scroll.

……

Looking at the 5 choices that appeared above, Ye Feng didn't think much about it, and directly chose Reward A and Reward B very decisively, which is not that the other 3 rewards are bad, but only these two rewards, which can achieve the effect of enhancing the combat power.

As for the other three items, whether it was a black-level iron scimitar or a skill scroll with riding expertise, with his current basic attributes, he was fundamentally equipped and could not be used.

Needless to say, free attribute points, such as the 12,000 universal points, whether used as a penalty to prevent mission failure or to spend a certain number of generic points to make hamburgers that can restore health, can have an immediate effect in this world.

After choosing these two rewards, in the face of the 4 free attribute points obtained, Ye Feng didn't immediately add these 4 free attribute points after thinking about it carefully, after all, he couldn't wear the dark gold ring because of the lack of basic attributes, and no one was sure if he would encounter the same situation again in the next time.

Anyway, even if these 4 free attribute points are all added to physical strength, they only increase their health by 40 points, maybe for ordinary novice contractors, these 40 health points are already equivalent to their half life, but for him with nearly 500 health points, it is really nothing.

And the most important thing is that the bonus attribute points can be added in case of emergency, and the addition of points is just a matter of flashing thoughts anyway, so he also temporarily accumulated these 4 free attribute points.

Later, when the harvest of the side quest was completed, Night Blade also entered the capital of the dead, it is worth mentioning that although this is said to be the city of the dead, but in fact, on the ground, there are only a large number of stone pillars and stone statues, as for the ruins of the city, but I have not seen it.

And this is because the real location of the whole ruin is located underground.

However, the entrance to the underground ruins was blocked by a large number of rocks, so at this time, the soldiers, who had already been excited by the temptation of a large amount of gold, also took out 200% of their enthusiasm and worked tirelessly to carry the rocks at the entrance.

According to the most optimistic estimates, it should not take half an hour for the soldiers to clear the rocks at the entrance, after all, dozens or hundreds of soldiers are constantly moving, such work efficiency is not casually talked.

Of course, if it weren't for the fear that the violent explosives would blow up the entire underground ruins, then the soldiers of Country Y, who had a lot of explosives, could blow up a passage through the massive rocks piled up at the entrance in a minute.

However, although it is convenient to do so, once this causes the collapse of the underground ruins, then even if there is indeed a large amount of gold and silver treasure in the underground ruins at this time, it is necessary to hire a large number of people from far away Cairo City to excavate the collapsed ruins, and such a large project will greatly reduce the value of the treasures here.

Therefore, the soldiers would rather waste more effort and time to ensure that the ruins are intact, at least until they carry out most of the treasures inside, the ruins will never collapse.

It is worth mentioning that while the soldiers were trying to dig out the passage to the entrance to the City of the Dead, Eve and the others gathered in front of a ruined stone statue of a dog's head.

When Night Feng walked over, he saw that Eve was also excited and excited to introduce to O'Connor and Jonathan: "This is the Statue of Death, and the legs of Death go deep into the ground. ”

"According to archaeologists, I heard that there is a secret compartment in the leg of the Statue of Death, which houses the Sun Sutra."

"Nope! You're wrong! ”

At this moment, Ye Feng suddenly interrupted with a smile: "What is buried at the foot of the Statue of Death is not the Sun Sutra, but the Bible of the Dead. ”

As he spoke, he also turned his head to look at O'Connor and asked curiously, "According to the agreement between us, as long as you bring us to the capital of the dead, you will be free from now on." ”

"Then why are you still here?"

"I think you should also know that there are indeed strange and evil forces here, and there are a large number of black-clad cavalry about to attack here, I think if you leave now, then you should be able to escape before the black-clad people surround this place."

"Huh! Actually, I would have liked to leave immediately, but I had promised this hateful woman to return to Cairo safely. ”

"But she obviously said that she only planned to come here to see if the legendary capital of the dead exists, but now, after she came here, she is willing to leave only after seeing the legendary Sun Sutra and the Bible of the Dead."

"Alas! O woman! ”

Speaking of this, I saw that O'Connor also had a helpless expression, and Eve also blushed after hearing O'Connor's complaints, and then gave O'Connor a fierce look, and then continued to fiddle with a huge ancient mirror by herself in a huff.

Then O'Connor also shrugged his shoulders helplessly towards Yefeng and came to Eve's side, took out the rope and tied it to the stone pillar on the side, and on the edge of the stone pillar, there was a narrow hole hidden behind the rock.

There is no doubt that this cave is a secret passage leading to the bottom, but once the rope breaks or the hole is blocked, the explorers who go down will be trapped alive underneath.

Because the bottom is more than 20 meters high from the ground, if there is no rope, then the people below will not be able to come up at all.

At this time, when he saw O'Connor and the others preparing to go down, Ye Feng suddenly frowned and said, "Wait a minute, have you forgotten what you promised me when you came here?" ”

"After entering the City of the Dead, you will follow my orders, and now you are so rashly entering the ruins alone, what if you accidentally touch the mechanism?"

"I know you're desperate to find the Bible of the Dead, but I'm telling you that in addition to all kinds of sinister mechanisms, there are countless scarabs that can devour a person in an instant!"

"Miss Eve, I think you know what I'm talking about this scarab, right?"

"Yes!" At this time, I saw that Eve's face was also suddenly white, as if she was also frightened by the name of the so-called scarab: "The scarab is a carnivorous insect, this kind of insect has sharp teeth, can easily bite through the skin of the human body and burrow into the human body, and eat the person from the inside out at a very fast speed. ”

"But this scarab beetle can only survive for a few years at most without food, and this place has not been opened for at least thousands of years."

"Even if there are small creatures such as rats in the underground ruins, it will not be enough to support the survival of these scarab beetles in large numbers."

"Huh!" Looking at Eve's angry rebuttal, Ye Feng suddenly smiled and said, "Miss Eve, what you said is just a normal situation, I have already said just now, there are mysterious and evil forces here, so there must be a large number of scarab beetles. ”

"Therefore, I advise you, if you don't want to be gnawed into bones by countless scarabs, then it is best to enter through the entrance with me."

"Because I also prepared a sharp weapon against a large number of scarabs for this purpose - flamethrowers."

Hearing this, I saw that Jonathan, who was originally tying up the rope with great interest, also suddenly turned pale and said to Eve: "In that case, sister, let's enter with everyone!" ”

"Anyway, your wish is just to see the legendary Bible of the Dead, so there is not much difference between seeing it earlier and seeing it later."

Although Eve was still very unconvinced and wanted to continue, not only was her brother unwilling to continue, but even O'Connor was opposed, so in the end they had to dismiss the idea of exploring alone.

As for the secret passage here, Yefeng sent soldiers to dig the entrance here a little bigger with digging tools, and then tied up some more ropes and threw them down, which can be regarded as another way out as a location coordinate and the final escape.

Later, after more than ten minutes of excavation, with the concerted efforts of a large number of soldiers, a large number of rock fragments piled up at the entrance were finally emptied.

In order to prevent the men in black from suddenly attacking after everyone enters the ruins, it doesn't take too many people to explore the ruins, after all, there are no enemies in the ruins now, and before finding the gold treasure, it doesn't take too many people to do the work of transporting.

Therefore, in the end, Yefeng also left most of the soldiers outside, and only led a few dozen soldiers and Eve and others with a probing and eager face into the ruins.

After entering the cave, I saw a rather strange smell filling the passage, but fortunately, according to Eve, these smells were not poisonous.

The passages inside are only more than one meter or two meters wide, barely enough for two people to walk side by side, and around the passages, there are thick cobwebs.

Because every passage here looks the same, every time they walk through a passage, they also use paint to draw an arrow in the direction on the wall, so that even if everyone gets lost, they can travel backwards through the direction of the arrow to get out of here.

After all, the entire underground ruins are now only Nightblanc, and there is no doubt that creatures like mummies and scarabs are not smart enough to destroy the arrows on the walls.

What's more, before Immorton's resurrection, the mummies in the ruins were also in a deep state, and even if they stood in front of them, they would not move at all.

Because the entire underground ruins were spread in all directions, like a labyrinth, with dozens or hundreds of similar passages, Ye Feng and the others barely found the location of the Death Statue through the general direction after more than two hours of searching.

Although he preferred to find the statue of the sun god buried in the Sun Sutra first, it was a pity that unlike the statue of death that was exposed to the ground, the statue of the sun god was obviously much smaller, so it was not exposed to the ground.

In this way, it is naturally difficult for them to determine the approximate location, so they can only rely on luck and time to find them one by one among the ruins.

However, since the Grim Reaper has been found first, it is okay to get the Bibles of the Dead and Immorton's corpse first, anyway, until Immorton is resurrected with the Bible, his mummy corpse is not a threat.

I saw that under the legs of the Statue of Death, a huge sarcophagus was erected, and on top of the sarcophagus, a mysterious pattern was also depicted.

Ye Feng, who has read the plot, naturally knows very well that what is buried in this sarcophagus is the Bible of the Dead, and under the sarcophagus is another iron coffin, and inside the iron coffin is the mummified corpse of Immorton.

After some careful searching, professional excavators also found the hidden compartment in the sarcophagus.

However, just when the soldiers were about to use digging tools such as iron drills to open the sarcophagus by brute force, Ye Feng stopped them at this time, because he naturally knew very well after watching the plot that when these soldiers forcibly pried open the sarcophagus, the hydrochloric acid mechanism hidden in the sarcophagus would also instantly melt these soldiers into a pool of blood.

But the good thing is that this kind of mechanism can only deal with people who don't know, and it is not a problem for Ye Feng who already knows it to crack it.
