Chapter 138: Exploring the Basement (Second Update, Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Recommendations)
Chapter 138
"It's the fire earthworm, you get out of here." Su Yuan said as his body rose into the air, attracting the attention of the fire earthworm. This thing doesn't seem to have a high IQ, but it's extremely hostile to humans. And very vindictive. Su Yuan hurt it just now, so he didn't hesitate to shift his attention to Su Yuan.
The lightning didn't hurt it much, and Su Yuan didn't really penetrate its scales at all with a full blow just now. It just paralyzed it a bit, so the thunderbolt was just the introduction. After his body floated in the air, after attracting the attention of the fire earthworm, he suddenly fell rapidly. The fire earthworm was huge, and naturally it could not transform as easily as he could in terms of movement. When it adjusted its shape, Su Yuan had already made a breakthrough and approached the body of the fire earthworm.
The long summer and winter in his hand crossed over, but a scene that shocked Su Yuan appeared. With the sharpness of the Valyrian steel sword, it didn't even cut through the scales of the fire earthworm. Only two white sword marks were left. Su Yuan scolded secretly, but his body did not stop, but rushed forward by accelerating. Jumped on the back of the fire earthworm.
This time, though, he didn't try to continue attacking, and for now, the thing's combat power was far beyond his ability to hunt. The fire earthworm turned around and another flame brewed in its mouth. However, at this time, two pieces of equipment appeared in Su Yuan's hands that had not appeared for a long time. Two large-caliber revolvers.
Both hands fired continuously, and twelve bullets continued to shoot into the mouth of the fire earthworm. A thermal weapon of this caliber, of course, could not have killed a monster of this size. But the impact of the bullet will make it feel pain. Sure enough, there was a sharp pain in the fire earthworm's mouth, his head shook, and the flame deviated from Su Yuan more than ten meters away. Su Yuan didn't stop, jumping and running quickly above the collapsed mine, while using telekinesis to assist in acceleration. The whole person quickly disappeared into the range of the fire earthworm.
When Su Yuan returned to the camp safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"How? Did you kill that monster? Byron was hopeful, but the results disappointed him.
"You think too highly of me. That thing was supposed to be a fire earthworm, which is said to be a species of wurm. It is a unique magical beast in the Fourteen Fire Peaks. You must know that the Fourteen Fire Peaks are also the dragon's lair. This thing can share a territory with the dragon, and it is conceivable that it is a super life that is not weaker than the dragon. And that thing must have undergone some kind of mutation, just like those beasts. Now it has grown to an unimaginable level. It's not that I said, if this thing gets to Westeros, it will probably be a catastrophe of the end of the world. ”
"Well, does that mean we're done exploring the mines?" Byron is a man who understands, since that thing haunts the volcano, naturally the mine can't go anymore. What the Wind Sword Saint can't handle, they naturally can't handle either.
"Obviously, that's the end of the cave exploration. But we have other directions. To the east is the port, and I noticed earlier that there seem to be some remnants of buildings to the west. Let's explore the west side tomorrow and go to the port on the last day. ”
There is no objection from everyone, in fact, they have gained a lot today. Everyone got at least about forty catties of golden sand. For these mercenaries, this is already a huge sum of money that they have never seen before. Even Arya packed a small bag of golden sand and secretly hid it.
But for this unprecedented adventure, this level of gain is clearly not satisfying. So after a night's rest, before dawn, everyone embarked on the next goal of exploration.
There is something strange about the architecture on the western side of the peninsula. At least not like a traditional residential style. The reason is simple, all the dwellings were destroyed in that disaster. However, the buildings are still in good condition.
The dilapidated buildings are made entirely of a material similar to that of the Boulevard de Valyria. It's just that it looks more elaborate, with various patterns and languages engraved on it. None of the people present knew Valyrian. But Su Yuan can be open. The prophecies given by his system are so well understood that he can only learn the common language of his current location. If you want more, you have to spend money.
Su Yuan spent ten points of source power, learned the Valyrian language, and then read the broken Valyrian script.
"Freedom and glory go hand in hand. Right...... Obligation....... Magic...... The light of truth. ”
A very strange feeling, it sounds like a famous epigram from the Valyrian dynasty. And there are generally only two kinds of mechanisms that carve this kind of thing on buildings. Government departments, or education departments. Su Yuan is not familiar with Valyria's political system, but it is estimated that it is about the same. This made Su Yuan quite interested.
He was the first to walk into the building. Not surprisingly, it was empty. The thick dust, as well as the weeds and shrubs that survive in the cracks, have turned this once magnificent building into ruins. The sword in his hand gently slammed against the wall, and the crisp sound echoed through the ruins.
Su Yuan listened attentively, and the echo location allowed him to easily find all the hidden spaces. After more than half an hour of stop-and-go, Su Yuan finally had a harvest. He turned around and walked to the ground he had just walked on. It's already covered with weeds. But when Su Yuan walked by, he could still sense that his feet should be empty.
Maybe some kind of secret room or something. But looking at the surrounding environment covered with various shrubs, finding the entrance is almost impossible. Therefore, Su Yuan directly moved roughly, condensed a high-explosive fireball in his hand, and directly exploded the ground. Fifty centimeters thick, I don't know if it's an illusion, the moment the ground cracked, Su Yuan seemed to see some kind of light blue light flash away.
The beast instinct did not give the slightest warning. However, Su Yuan still threw some stones or something to explore the way. After that, he felt that he had been a little too careful. This is not some kind of ancient tomb, and theoretically there will be no messy traps.
After jumping down, Su Yuan found that the space below was unexpectedly spacious. He jumped down with more than a dozen other people, and at a height of more than four meters, Su Yuan used his telekinesis to assist them in falling. Then the crowd dispersed to explore the underground space. And this exploration, sure enough, I found something different. They found bones in this basement.
Su Yuan walked in front of a skeleton and reached out to touch it gently. The bones clicked and broke. But it was only broken, and it didn't turn into ash or anything like that.
The underground space is divided into many rooms. After Su Yuan explored one by one, he found that this was some kind of laboratory. And it's a magic lab. As we all know, the Valyrian civilization is a civilization with a mature magical system. But this magic system is in the hands of the fourteen supreme noble families represented by the Fourteen Fire Peaks.
The Targaryens were just a sideline and knew how to train dragons, but when it came to magic, they were far behind. But in this way, the Targaryens, who only had three dragons, still conquered the Seven Kingdoms, and you can imagine how powerful the fortress of freedom was back then.
Going around and around, Su Yuan found a notebook in one of the laboratories. A notebook intact, apparently magically cast. Su Yuan opened the notebook, and in a scribbled and hasty tone, he recorded everything that happened back then.
