Volume 1 The Northern Immortal House Chapter 5 Search
Zhou Qi finally determined one thing, this is more and more like a game, yes! It's a game!
After killing more than 30 carrion spirits in one go, there were two more dilapidated boxes on the ground in addition to the rotten corpses and thick slurry. He would never believe that a zombie would come out with a box on its back and bite someone. Looks like this is the reward you've got!
"No. 5106 finds an old wooden crate, and the bloody coat of arms opens."
Immediately after that, there was a fiery pain in the wrist of his left hand holding the wooden shield. It's like being burned with a red-hot soldering iron. Except that there was no smell of burnt skin. He clearly felt that there was some kind of brand on his wrist!
"No. 5106 Blood Emblem Soul Binding is successful, the storage function is on, the query function is not enabled, and the team call function is not enabled. It's not just a large-capacity shopping bag, it's the only proof of your identity and permissions. ”
"Storage? Could it be that the shield and axe in his hand can fit in? At the moment when the thought arose, Zhou Qi only felt that his hands were light, and the short axe and wooden shield had disappeared.
Zhou Qi was startled and hurriedly raised his left hand. He saw that an inch below the back of his hand, there was a blood-red brand! About the size of a watch. As for the pattern, he really has an urge to complain.
A copper coin, yes, is a copper coin pattern that is round on the outside and square on the inside.
The space inside the coat of arms unfolded in his mind, about 1 cubic in size. The wooden shield and the hatchet lay flat in a corner of the space.
"Number 5106: Got the old wooden crate, is it open?"
"Open" Zhou Qi's voice was a little excited, this is a good thing! If you put it in a fairy tale novel, it is a ring, and if you put it in a magic novel, it is a space ring!
"Number 5106 gets Torch X1. Except that it can't be used for barbecue, it's a ray of hope. ”
"Number 5106: Got the old wooden crate, is it open?"
"Open!"
"Number 5106 gets the Flame Kettle X3. Throws a weapon with an explosion radius of 1.5X1.5 meters, fire explosion damage of 50, and continuous burn damage of 3 points per second for 5 seconds. It's more convenient and effective than a grenade, and you don't even have to light it and throw it out. ”
"Looks like things are getting more and more interesting!"
The torch didn't illuminate a large area, but in the dark dungeon, it was enough to guide him in the right direction.
Zhou Qi held a torch in his left hand and a short axe tightly in his right hand. By the light of the fire, he could clearly see that he was in a passage about 15 meters wide. On both sides of the passage are small cages. The rotten doors and windows have long been crooked, and it is conceivable that the wandering spirits that came in just now came out of it.
"Maybe in the cage, you can find some clues."
The outline that gradually took shape in his mind gave him such a judgment. Everything here seems to be dominated by some mysterious force. More like a bureau, one ring after another, if he chooses to refuse the knight's request. That might not trigger the awakening of the coat of arms. As for the storage function and torches, you don't have to think about it.
With such an understanding, even if he knew that what was waiting for him must be a trap that he couldn't imagine, he had to pinch his nose and step on it.
Before that, every clue was crucial to him.
Along the prison cell, Zhou Qi silently carried out a careful search, and occasionally encountered a dead body lying on the ground in the prison, he did not hesitate to swing an axe to cut down, God knows when these damn things will jump up and give you a look.
As he went deeper, the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger. So far, he has not found any valuable clues.
After searching the last cell in the passage, I passed through a corridor full of torture instruments, and directly in front of me was the end of the passage.
He saw a door.
Deep iron doors, covered in rust. The thick dust under the iron door showed that it had not been opened for many years. What really caught Zhou Qi's attention was the narrow window on the iron door. Through that window, he seemed to see a fire flickering behind the iron door!
He cautiously approached until he stood in front of the iron gate. In a thought, Zhou Qi put away the short axe in his right hand. He struggled to reach out his right hand and grasp the cold deadbolt. It seems that at a certain moment, after making up your mind, pull the deadbolt hard!
With a tooth-aching creak, the iron door slowly opened.
A bonfire on the ground that had not yet burned out, sparse flames, beating between light and extinguish, lit up the hall in front of them.
Zhou Qi changed into a wooden shield and a short axe, and stepped into the iron gate, the firelight causing a long shadow to drag behind him.
Almost as soon as he entered the hall, he saw a man.
He sat cross-legged in front of the campfire, wearing a dark gray hooded cloak that covered his face. Unable to distinguish his gender, unable to see his face clearly. He is like an ancient stone sculpture, and he has been sitting here for a long time.
Zhou Qi's body stood stiffly in place, motionless, his eyes staring at the front.
"Hey! Hello! He greeted in as smooth a tone as possible. For a long time, but in exchange for silence.
Zhou Qi raised the wooden shield, bent his waist, and walked forward slowly. The short axe in his right hand is ready to attack at any time. Step by step, he approached the man sitting in front of the campfire. If he were still alive.
The cloak has a heavy Gothic era style, like a military blanket. Although it looks shabby, the texture is quite thick.
He's dead.
The cuffs revealed his bony palms. The slender ten phalanges clenched tightly to a rectangular black wrap.
Zhou Qi broke the bones of his hand and gently took the package. Then he reached out and lifted his cloak!
The shriveled flesh of the corpse, blackened, tightly wrapped around the skull. His face was long since indistinguishable. The smell of decay, perhaps because of its proximity to the fire, did not emit a strong stench of corpses. As the package departed, the corpse seemed to have completed its mission. Fell crookedly.
Zhou Qi cautiously took a step back and sat down cross-legged facing him. Carefully open the package in your hand. As layers of already brittle linen are peeled off. In his hand was a silver dragon-shaped pendant and a book with a black leather shell.
Zhou Qi gently turned the pages of the book. It turned out to be a notebook!
"On the seventh day, following the breath of fire, I searched into the depths of my cell, and my companion awaited my rescue. Hopefully, time is still in time. ”
"On the fifteenth, there is not much soul power left, and I don't know how long I can hold on. A large number of living corpses were reduced to dust by the force of fire. And it seems like I'm going to be one of them. ”
"On the nineteenth day, I felt the exhaustion of my soul power, and before the last moment came, I chose to kill myself, may Izaris give me courage."
"On the twenty-third day, when the last hour was coming, I saw him, and he was waiting for me. Before the campfire goes out, I think I'm safe for the time being. ”
"On the twenty-fifth day, whoever it is, please grant my last request, my power is from fire, now please help me return it. Also, run! ...........Zasuk"
The further back I got, the more scribbled the handwriting became. Zhou Qi woke up from the scalp-numbing words in a half-loud voice. He put the pendant and notes into the space. Came to the corpse named Zasuk and groaned for a while. Then push his corpse into the campfire!
The flames instantly ignited the cloak. Soon the entire corpse was spread all over and began to burn.
"Ah!!h A shrill scream, coming from the fire! On the burning fire, flames more than one person high burst out in an instant! Black mist rises in the firelight!
The flames began to roll violently with the black mist! The color changes from bright yellow to dark red like blood!
As the screaming stopped, the flames disappeared as if they were drained in an instant, and the corpses turned to dust in an instant. Only a blood-red flame in the air was left to continue burning.
Suddenly! A fist-sized flame streaked through the air like a meteor. aimed at Zhou Qi and pounced.
Zhou Qi, who was almost stunned by the strange scene in front of him, didn't even react to raising his shield, the flames had already penetrated his forehead and disappeared.
"Contractor 5106 is imprinted by the soul of the Chaos Fire, does he accept the inheritance of the Fire?"
"If you don't make a choice after 60 seconds, you will give up by default. Countdown starts 60.59.58........."
"Accept!" Zhou Qi came back to his senses and immediately chose to accept it.
"No. 5106 accepts the Inheritance of Fire and automatically comprehends the skill Fire Bomb. Firebombs, ranged throw, throws high-temperature fire bombs at targets, auto-aim, can be blocked or dodged. Does not work against fire immunity targets. Initial fire damage is 50, burn damage is 5 points per second, and the duration is 3 seconds. The current skill level is level 1, which can be improved through skill points or skill proficiency. Use costs 15 mana per shot. Current skill proficiency 0/3000"
"Number 5106 accepts the Inheritance of Fire and automatically comprehends the skill to ignite the flames. Ignite flames, melee attacks, and set targets on fire at close range with high-temperature flames. Initial damage is 70, burn damage is 10 points per second, and duration is 5 seconds. The current skill level is level 1, which can be improved through skill points or skill proficiency. Consumes 30 mana each time. Current proficiency 0/3000"
The continuous prompt sound made Zhou Qi feel like he was in a dream, as a former gamer, he knew what it meant to get skills. For example, the classic game Diablo 2 has a powerful class ability, which allows witches to no longer use their staff to knock on the brains of zombies, but to stand comfortably in the distance and harvest experience with sharp ice, fire and electricity. can make the necromancer arrogant everywhere with the mighty skeleton brother. Instead of using a white-lettered longbow, boring to shoot at long-haired mice.
Zhou Qi quickly glanced at the panel, his current spiritual power is 10 points, and he can have 100 mana. By following the skill's prompts, you can use the fire bomb 6 times in a row, or choose to use 3 times to ignite the flame. Compared to the current close-quarters flurry that has no technical content. Not only does it multiply the damage, but more importantly, it has the means to strike from a distance.
Zhou Qi couldn't help but think of the ghost archer who made him hurt and hated again.
As the flames faded, the hall gradually fell into darkness.
The change of light and shade brought Zhou Qi back to his senses.
After a fierce fire, the bonfire went out.
"I think I'm safe until the campfire goes out. Also, run! In the note, a sentence with a strong warning came to his mind!
