Chapter 64: Dark Ruins
"The archbishop asked you to take me back?" , The woman in front of her with some wrinkles on her face and a very stubborn expression is Mother Teresa that Chen Li is looking for.
When Chen Li pulled her out of a pile of books, she didn't know what was going on.
Chen Li explained his intention, thinking that a person like Mother Teresa, who seemed to be vicious and hateful, would definitely agree to his request immediately, but who knew that Mother Teresa actually refused.
"These villagers have all lived here since the Dark Ages, in other words, they are the guardians of this place." Teresa explained to Chen Li why she was here.
She took out a copy of "Records of the Dark Ages" from the messy books underground, pointed to the book and said to Chen Li: "You see, all guardians must guard something important, I have already checked it out, and it is in the cave behind." ”
"You must help me discover the secrets in the cave so I can go back!" The nun stubbornly insisted.
"You've been given the Quest: Explore the Ruins"
"Mission Type: Solo Exploration Mission"
"Objective: You must help Mother Teresa explore the ruins, and at least 50% of the exploration will be obtained."
"Difficulty: E"
"Rewards: 4,000 Evolution Points, 8 Free Attribute Points, 8 Potential Points, Mother Teresa's Opinion"
"Quest Tip: The more you explore, the higher your quest rewards"
"Failure Penalty: Friendship with Mother Teresa decreased, and maximum stat decreased by 2 points."
"Are you accepting the assignment?"
Chen Li was puzzled, he thought that the task given by Mother Teresa would be the next main line, but wasn't it?
"That means if I knock Mother Teresa unconscious now and bring her back later, I've done my job?" , Chen Li thought with malice.
"Quest accepted!" , E-level task Chen Li has not been completed, he naturally does not take it to heart, it is great to come out with a high-rarity monster, and fight him for three hundred rounds. You can't let go of an opportunity to increase your favorability.
"Okay, okay, without further ado, can we go now?" , Chen Li spread his hands and pretended to be helpless.
Sure enough, Mother Teresa immediately smiled when she saw Chen Li like this: "No problem, wait for me to bring something, the snowstorm has just passed, and this is just the right time." ”
"You and Mother Teresa's opinion has increased, and the current opinion rating is 9/100"
Chen Li watched as Mother Teresa took out a large pile of bottles and cans from the room, put them in the backpack behind her, and brought a few thick books.
"Let's go, I'm done."
Teresa and Chen Li came to the entrance of the cave not far away.
The entrance to the cave was located at the bottom of the mountain, about the width of five people in parallel, and the clods of earth around the cave were clearly showing signs of artificial expansion, and the irregular gaps left by some tools were still frozen in ice.
The cave is very deep, stretching far away, at least Chen Li can only see that it is dark inside when he stands at the entrance of the cave, which means that there is no light in it at all, if there is a little light, Chen Li can see things normally.
"Are you sure that's it?" , I have to admit that the spaceship passage of the second world and the underground waterway of the third world did not leave a good impression on Chen Li, and he was a little tired of here.
Mother Teresa looked like an old pedant: "Of course, look, you look here, these are all traces left by the dark ages, and they are very valuable for research. ”
Well, anyway, Chen Li can't see any research value in these things.
Taking out the torch given by Mother Teresa, Chen Li walked ahead and entered the cave first.
The cave was cold and dark, and the cold wind poured in from the mouth of the cave, condensing the water in the cave on top of the cave, forming icicles.
Chen Li walked very carefully, he was afraid that he would accidentally step on some ancient era mechanism or something, and every few steps he had to use a torch to take a circle around the cave to see if there were any forks in the road.
As they advanced, Chen Li's exploration level also increased at a rate of 0.1% and 0.2%, until they reached the end of the cave.
"This is impossible, if the wind can blow in, there must be a place to tender out, and this should not be a dead end." Teresa immediately made such a judgment.
She walked over to the ice wall in front of Chen Li and looked at it, then took out a clay pot from her backpack, took out a handful of powder, and sprinkled it on the cyan ice wall.
"This ice wall is artificial, and the icicles on the top of the cave in front of it block some of the cold wind, so part of the ice wall is empty, and there is still a lot of space behind it, so that the air here can circulate." The wise Teresa figured out what was going on, and it seemed that someone was deliberately blocking people from entering here.
"I've just lowered the hardness of this ice with a special powder, so warrior, it's time for you to perform."
Chen Li looked at the blue and blackened ice cube in front of him, a little tooth sore, ice this kind of thing, once it takes a long time, it may be harder than steel.
However, Chen Li has not fought steel, although his teeth are sore, he still waved his fist.
Well? Not as hard as he thought, Chen Li punched into the ice wall, and the surrounding ice made a crisp cracking sound.
A large crack appeared on the ice wall that was clearly visible, and Chen Li didn't stop doing it, and simply pierced the ice wall in front of him with a few clicks.
As the opaque ice wall fell, the space behind it was revealed.
The huge stone altar was covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and deep cuts were carved into the hard stone ground around it, and several tall stone pillars were fixed above the cavern, with a vent above it, from which the air flowed.
Chen Li checked his degree of exploration, and after finding this place, it skyrocketed by more than 30% in an instant.
Walking into the room, Chen Li's sensitive skin told him that the temperature here was changing, it was still cold and windy outside, and it became mild when he walked here, just like a snowy mountain located next to a desert.
And Mother Teresa is now like a demon, lying on the ground and checking the traces inch by inch.
"You can't go wrong with this thing! It's a dark age magic circle, I'd love to see it somewhere. Mother Teresa circled around the circular marks on the ground, muttering incessantly.
She pulled out another jar, and the green liquid was poured from the clay pot onto the nicks, and Chen Li instinctively tried to stop him.
But Mother Teresa stopped him: "Don't move! This is the essence of magic power that I have collected for more than ten years, and I must know what this magic array is for! ”
The crystalline liquid emitting green light slowly filled the entire circular pattern along the scratches, and Chen Li felt as if something had woken up.
A source of wind suddenly blew, like a long breath, and the bitter cold wind poured into the cave again, and Chen Li suddenly felt that it was a mistake for him not to stop Mother Teresa.
The essence of the magic that filled the circular pattern grew brighter and brighter, printing the entire space green, and then, a blurred pillar of light appeared above the magic circle.
Chen Li's premonition seemed to have come true, a majestic aura came from the pillar of light, the temperature in the space skyrocketed instantly, and began to become extremely hot, the evil and domineering black qi began to spread, Chen Li felt that he couldn't move at all.
"Mortal! What about your sacrifices! A thick claw stretched out from the pillar of light, and hit the ground with a bang, Chen Li even felt himself tremble a little, this is definitely not a monster of high rarity!
The other leg also stretched out, and Chen Li reluctantly raised his head, finally seeing its whole picture.
The pitch-black and evil body was covered with scales, the tall body burned with black flames, above the head was a pair of curved demonic horns, eyes the same color as hell that could bring ominous to those who looked at it, a tail similar to a reptilian slapping the ground behind it, striking the next piece of rubble, and even lava flowing slowly on the hideous armor on its body.
It opened its mouth and spewed out a breath of black gas, sparks came out of its nose, and the ground began to melt. This looked no different from the demons that Chen Li had heard of in the real world.
"You two are my sacrifices?"
Chen Li somehow could understand what it was saying. He swallowed hard and checked the demon's attributes with his demon hunting diary.
This time Chen Li's evolution points were deducted by a full 5,000 points.
"Demon Maharaja"
"Boss Monster"
"The Incredible Species"
"Attribute ominous"
"Ominous skills"
"Description: You can start death memories."
The cross on Chen Li's chest was already so hot that it was almost burning.
Looking at Mother Teresa again, she had already fallen to the ground, probably unable to stand such momentum and fainted.
"Very courageous human beings, few people can stay awake in front of me." , The Demon Lord admired Chen Li's temper very much, so he decided to give Chen Li a whole corpse.
It took a step forward, and its huge size allowed it to directly cross the distance in space, and instantly came to Chen Li's face, Chen Li couldn't move now, where could he dodge.
It stretched out its clawed hand, grabbed Chen Li's neck, lifted him whole, and put it in front of him to look at him.
Chen Li unleashed all the skills that could be released, and the innate soul fist strength could not even break through the black flames on the Demon Monarch's body, no matter how hard he broke the Demon Lord's fingers, it did not move at all.
Are you going to die like this? Chen Li felt that he had reached his limit, his neck was stuck, almost twisted, and the feeling of suffocation was getting stronger and stronger, no matter how he resisted, it seemed that he was doing useless work.
It seemed that he had really begun to remember his death, and familiar scenes began to replay one by one, and strange voices kept ringing out.
"How is that possible! space, add all the 24 free attributes to my spirit! Chen Li yelled.
