44.Chapter 44
Roddy held his breath and narrowed his eyes, trying to calm his mind... In his heart, he muttered obscene words such as "This scum can't kill you with three arrows before he releases", and tried not to let the spreading fear erode his brain.
The huge head of the Kemera beast was dangling more than ten meters in front of him, and the other party opened his mouth slightly, looking extremely bad, obviously the sound of the minecart's brakes just now made it extremely dissatisfied, so that Roddy could see the distorted air gas in its mouth, as if it was about to breathe fire at any time.
Its steps seemed slow, but in fact each step was at least two meters, and when its oppressive body came to the minecart, the light of the torch made it seem a little puzzled, and its body paused, Kemera tilted its head to look at the torch on the minecart, and when Roddy swallowed a mouthful of saliva, it opened its mouth without warning.
"Boom!"
Roddy didn't dare to move, letting the scorching gas blow horizontally in front of him without moving—for a moment, he had to rejoice that he had found a better place...
If it's two or three meters away, Lao Tzu will be Qiu Shaoyun by now!!
All he could think of was the scene of the heroic sacrifice of the revolutionary martyrs in the Chinese textbook, his eyes staring at the flames in front of him, and he felt that the air he breathed could burn his lungs... Luckily for him, Roddy had placed the torch in the overstretched torch slot above the minecart, and the extremely hot jet of flames in Kemera's mouth melted the torch and the iron rod into ashes almost instantly, but did not burn the minecart with it.
Roddy glanced at the "status bar" that no one else could detect, and the stealth was about to end with ten seconds left.
, what do you want to do!?
Roddy shouted inwardly, but the surroundings of Kemera instantly darkened after melting the torches, and he couldn't see the scene in front of him at all—fortunately, within a few seconds, the sound of the other party's legs finally faded away, apparently swaying back towards the cave.
"Boom. ”
With every step the giant Kemera took he took, Roddy could hear the crash of something as it hit the ground, but he didn't dare to move, not even taking a breath for two or three minutes after the stealth was gone. After finally confirming that Kemera had returned to the cave, Roddy moved his stiff body and touched his cheek, which was nearly burned from the scorching air, glad that he had saved another life.
He turned his head and held out his hand to the narrow hole that Sally had drilled through, and whispered, "Sally?"
A few seconds later, the fingertips hanging in mid-air touched Sally's cold palm, and Roddy was about to say something, only to find that the little girl suddenly clenched her fingers. In the darkness, Roddy heard a whisper from the other side, even crying: "You. You... Are you still alive?"
Obviously, the terrifying flame spew... Sally mistakenly thinks that Roddy is going to die.
"Good luck... Thanks to your brain spinning faster than me, of course. That one... Now is not the time to talk nonsense, we need to clear the obstacles, but be careful not to make a sound, otherwise the big guy will come back. ”
The surrounding light was too dim, and Roddy looked back at the mouth of the cave that he could no longer see, leaving only a few jumping fires left behind by the Kemera beast's fire, allowing him to barely make out the surroundings. At this time, it is obvious that there are many dreams at night, and it is the right way to leave quickly.
Sally listened, and immediately began to carry the pieces at the other end, and in the darkness the two of them tacitly stopped talking, and slowly cut open the stones and pieces of wood blocking the tunnel with their hands as if they were moving mountains. After two hours of non-stop transportation, they were able to clean the rails and create a gap that could be passed through by the minecarts.
Roddy and Sally both had many wounds on their hands, but at this time he didn't show any machismo and asked Sally to rest, because time was tight at the moment, and if he didn't do this, if the guest Myra beast had a convulsion and walked around again, it was estimated that neither of them would be able to withstand the anger of the other party.
After inspecting the minecart, Roddy made sure that it wasn't too damaged except for being blackened by the flames that passed by, and was about to take Sally away, lighting the remade torch, only to find it on the ground... There are a lot more shiny things.
Roddy stopped and made a "wait" gesture to Sally, who was already sitting on the minecart, and took a few steps to the objects, reaching out to pick them up... He was completely stunned.
"Aging Kemera Scales"
Enchanted materials
"As the Kemera grows older, so do its scales. ”
Roddy is no stranger to this kind of scales, he used to be a master of leather crafting, he is very familiar with the market of auxiliary materials for the production of leather armor armor, and he also understands the value of this kind of scales in his hands - before the total level of 30, the most precious of all the leather armor raw materials is the product of this wild boss, generally speaking, these materials are one level better than the whiteboard according to the classification level of the excellent grade "green", and if you kill Kemeramon, its skin is peeled off is the fine grade "blue" or even the epic "purple". These pieces of leather can be made into outer and inner armor according to their thickness, and they are all good things that can be sold at sky-high prices.
And now the scales in Luo Di's hands show the "blue" fine grade. This sudden gain made his heart skip a beat: if the equipment made from green shards can reach 130% of the stats of the equipment on the whiteboard, then the blue shards can achieve a 200% stat bonus and have a chance to add additional attributes to the equipment!
Could it be that two years ahead of schedule, this Kemera is shedding its scales?
Thinking of this, Roddy began to look for the remaining scales on the ground without saying a word, and he directly emptied the pocket of bread as lightly as possible, and threw the scales falling from the ground into the bag like a gold digger, and then found that many scales were not of high quality, seventy percent were green characters, and even worthless white characters.
Do you want to go into the cave?
Roddy squinted his eyes at the lair where the Kemera beast was hiding, and began to weigh the pros and cons in his heart - the scales in Roddy's hand at this moment were not enough to put together the amount of a leather armor, and if he continued to go deeper, he would definitely be able to make up one or even two sets of scales. But then he runs the risk of awakening the Grimmon.
However, the Kemera mon in Roddy's memory will not wake up at will - it can even be said that any monster will not wake up the other monster when it is asleep, as long as it does not set foot in the "absolute alert range" around it or make a loud noise.
Originally, this was not enough for Roddy to continue walking, but he immediately saw the "stealth technique" on his chest where the mysterious necklace had cooled down, and after thinking about it, he still walked towards the cave.
From the faint light source of the torch in the distance, Roddy could see clearly where the glittering scales were, and the more he went, the more scales there were on the ground, and when he went about fifty meters deeper, he saw a large thick scale suddenly appear on the ground!
It was an absolute bonus, and it is estimated that the Kemera beast had shaken its body in this place due to the itching of the molting scales, and Roddy found that there were even scales marked with the word "purple"!
As if he had found Baoshan, Roddy threw out all the low-quality scales in the bag, and then sifted through a large scale of excellent skin. When it was all over, he cautiously felt his way back to the side of the rock wall, where the light was so dim that he could only move forward by touch, and just as he was about to walk out of the cave, he suddenly tripped under his feet.
Roddy snapped to a halt, his raised foot hovering in mid-air, and his gaze looked down, only to see an extremely vague silhouette of a humanoid.
It seems, it's a dead man.
Roddy didn't notice the guy when he walked in, and his foot was right on the other's head, and although he didn't step on it, the touch told Roddy that the guy under his feet had become a completely rotten skeleton.
Seeing this, Roddy bent down and began to "touch the corpse" that the player is best at - in the past few years in the game, Roddy has dealt with this corpse countless times, so even in reality, he has no discomfort with the corpse that has disappeared even the smell of decay.
The clothes were already rotten, and they would be broken when touched, and Roddy only had a slight force in his chest and went down into a big pit, and from the other party's blackened clothes, Roddy temporarily judged that this unlucky guy died under the flames of Kemera, but obviously the corpse in this place was most likely to be a miner, and Roddy, who had no hope, didn't expect to find anything, but he finally found a ring on the other party's finger bones that were so fine that they couldn't be recognized.
There was some surprise, but he wasn't interested in looking at the displayed properties now. Stepping past the corpse, Roddy quickly rushed to the minecart, threw a bag full of scales into the cart, and immediately pushed it and started running!
"Get down!"
The minecart's wheels began to turn, and the noise immediately filled the cavern, and Roddy knew that he had to get out of here immediately, or the unsleeping Kemeramon would rush at a faster speed - the starting section was relatively gentle throughout the tunnel, so even if Roddy pushed the cart like crazy, the acceleration of the entire minecart still did not increase.
"Boom!"
A muffled sound made Roddy realize that the big animal had awakened and rushed over, and he ran with all his legs, and turned his head, only to find that the Kemera beast had appeared at the door of the cave!
“Ol'kla!”
Regardless of whether it was useful or not, Roddy immediately activated the stealth technique, his figure disappeared behind the minecart, and Sally in the minecart was not revealed because of her low figure, and the Kemera beast that appeared in the distance was not very eyesightly, and after it appeared here angrily, the first thing it noticed was a minecart that was moving inexplicably into the distance.
The intelligence of the Kemera beast did not seem to be enough to judge why the obstacle had just disappeared, and the shuttle-shaped head looked at the strange scene in front of it in confusion, and actually stopped in place for more than three seconds.
These three seconds saved the lives of Roddy and Sally.
